JESUS sees THROUGH us

 

Hebrews 4:13

King James Version

13 Neither is there any creature 

that is not manifest in his sight: 

but all things are naked and opened 

unto the eyes of him with whom we have to do.


Do you resent the fact JESUS knows us?

That He sees through our hearts?

That He knows our intentions?

That He knows the end, from the beginning?

That He knows everything we are?


As born again, I actually relish the fact.

It makes me smile, when people try to hide who they are.

How can they?

I really get a laugh out of that one.

JESUS knows ALL our goings-on.

There's no hiding from the LORD.

JESUS knows our thoughts.

He said so Himself:

Matthew 15:19-20

King James Version

19 For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, 

murders, adulteries, fornications, 

thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

20 These are the things which defile a man: 

but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man.


In fact, here are THREE instances where JESUS read man's thoughts:

Matthew 9:1-8

King James Version

9 And he entered into a ship, 

and passed over, and came into his own city.

2 And, behold, 

they brought to him a man sick of the palsy, 

lying on a bed: 

and Jesus seeing their faith 

said unto the sick of the palsy; 

Son, be of good cheer; 

thy sins be forgiven thee.

3 And, behold, 

certain of the scribes said within themselves, 

This man blasphemeth.

4 And Jesus knowing their thoughts said, 

Wherefore think ye evil in your hearts?

5 For whether is easier, to say, 

Thy sins be forgiven thee; 

or to say, Arise, and walk?

6 But that ye may know that the Son of man 

hath power on earth to forgive sins, 

(then saith he to the sick of the palsy,) 

Arise, take up thy bed, and go unto thine house.

7 And he arose, and departed to his house.

8 But when the multitudes saw it, 

they marvelled, and glorified God, 

which had given such power unto men.


Luke 6:6-11

King James Version

6 And it came to pass also on another sabbath, 

that he entered into the synagogue and taught: 

and there was a man whose right hand was withered.

7 And the scribes and Pharisees watched him, 

whether he would heal on the sabbath day; 

that they might find an accusation against him.

8 But he knew their thoughts, 

and said to the man which had the withered hand, 

Rise up, and stand forth in the midst. 

And he arose and stood forth.

9 Then said Jesus unto them, 

I will ask you one thing; 

Is it lawful on the sabbath days 

to do good, or to do evil? 

to save life, or to destroy it?

10 And looking round about upon them all, 

he said unto the man, 

Stretch forth thy hand. And he did so: 

and his hand was restored whole as the other.

11 And they were filled with madness; 

and communed one with another 

what they might do to Jesus.


John 2:23-25

King James Version

23 Now when he was in Jerusalem 

at the passover, in the feast day, 

many believed in his name, 

when they saw the miracles which he did.

24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, 

because he knew all men,

25 And needed not that any should testify of man: 

for he knew what was in man.


In my country, we have a contemporary word.

For man's reaction to the LORD's miracles.

And to the fact He heals on a sabbath.

The word we have for it is:

"tameme"

(sound like a goat, and you've got it)



Meaning, "speechless".

Even "dumbfounded".

Don't you love the way JESUS confounds us all?

That delights my childlike heart no end.

He does the unexpected.

The unthought of.

The unheard of.

And leaves our mouths hanging open.

I really have a good laugh with that.


JESUS also tells us GOD knows what we need.

Before we even ask Him.

Matthew 6:7-8

King James Version

7 But when ye pray, 

use not vain repetitions, as the heathen do: 

for they think that they shall be heard 

for their much speaking.

8 Be not ye therefore like unto them: 

for your Father knoweth 

what things ye have need of, 

before ye ask him.


Don't you love being transparent with the LORD?

If you have nothing to hide, you won't mind.

He also predestined us for things.

How can He not know what we're about?

Have fellowship with the LORD.

You have no idea what you're missing.

Lots of laughter, for one.

VICTORY through JESUS

 

1 Chronicles 29:11

King James Version

11 Thine, O Lord 

is the greatness, 

and the power, 

and the glory, 

and the victory, 

and the majesty: 

for all that is in the heaven 

and in the earth is thine; 

thine is the kingdom, O Lord, 

and thou art exalted 

as head above all.


VICTORY belongs to JESUS.

VICTORY belongs to the believer.

VICTORY belongs to the born again.

Our faith is in JESUS CHRIST.

We know His laws, because SPIRIT tells us.

Everything is in Scripture.

JESUS taught us to LOVE GOD, above all.

When you love GOD, you are victorious.

You give the GLORY due to the FATHER.

You give GRATITUDE due to the SON.

Who shed His blood for us.


This, we assure you -- 

In any battle you're facing, turn to JESUS.

He will give you the victory.

Genesis 3:14-15

King James Version

14 And the Lord God said unto the serpent, 

Because thou hast done this, 

thou art cursed above all cattle, 

and above every beast of the field; 

upon thy belly shalt thou go, 

and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:

15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, 

and between thy seed and her seed

it shall bruise thy head, 

and thou shalt bruise his heel.


Deuteronomy 20:1-4

King James Version

20 When thou goest out to battle against thine enemies, 

and seest horses, and chariots, 

and a people more than thou, 

be not afraid of them: 

for the Lord thy God is with thee, 

which brought thee up out of the land of Egypt.

2 And it shall be, 

when ye are come nigh unto the battle, 

that the priest shall approach 

and speak unto the people,

3 And shall say unto them, 

Hear, O Israel, 

ye approach this day unto battle 

against your enemies: 

let not your hearts faint, 

fear not, and do not tremble, 

neither be ye terrified because of them;

4 For the Lord your God is he that goeth with you,

 to fight for you against your enemies, 

to save you.

therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son,

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.

King James Version

Thus it is written,

which is the Holy Ghost, 

whom the Father will send in my name,

and bring all things to your remembrance, 

whatsoever I have said unto you.


John 16:33

that in me ye might have peace. 

In the world ye shall have tribulation:

I have overcome the world.

had received the vinegar, 

he said, 

It is finished: 

and he bowed his head, 

and gave up the ghost.

King James Version

13 There hath no temptation taken you 

but such as is common to man: 

but God is faithful,

above that ye are able; 

but will with the temptation 

also make a way to escape, 

that ye may be able to bear it.

they which are called might receive 

the promise of eternal inheritance.


James 1:12

which the Lord hath promised 

to them that love him.

as of a lamb without blemish 

and without spot:


1 Peter 3:18

who is the faithful witness,

and washed us from our sins 

in his own blood,


Revelation 12:7-11

King James Version

7 And there was war in heaven: 

Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; 

and the dragon fought and his angels,

8 And prevailed not; 

neither was their place found any more in heaven.

9 And the great dragon was cast out, 

that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, 

which deceiveth the whole world: 

he was cast out into the earth, 

and his angels were cast out with him.

10 And I heard a loud voice saying in heaven, 

Now is come salvation, 

and strength, 

and the kingdom of our God, 

and the power of his Christ: 

for the accuser of our brethren is cast down, 

which accused them before our God day and night.

11 And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, 

and by the word of their testimony; 

and they loved not their lives unto the death.


Revelation 21:5-7

King James Version

Behold, 

I make all things new.

Write: 

for these words are true and faithful.

6 And he said unto me, 

It is done. 

I am Alpha and Omega, 

the beginning and the end. 

I will give unto him that is athirst 

of the fountain of the water of life freely.

7 He that overcometh shall inherit all things; 

and I will be his God, 

and he shall be my son.

What JESUS accomplished

 

John 8:28

King James Version

28 Then said Jesus unto them, 

When ye have lifted up the Son of man, 

then shall ye know that I am he, 

and that I do nothing of myself; 

but as my Father hath taught me, 

I speak these things.


What has JESUS accomplished, as Emissary for GOD?

Brace yourself, for what you are about to find out.

SPIRIT led us to these verses.

In JESUS' own words, too:

Mark 1:16-18

King James Version

16 Now as he walked by the sea of Galilee, 

he saw Simon and Andrew his brother 

casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.

17 And Jesus said unto them, 

Come ye after me, 

and I will make you to become fishers of men.

18 And straightway they forsook their nets, 

and followed him.


Mark 1:38

King James Version

38 And he said unto them, 

Let us go into the next towns, 

that I may preach there also: 

for therefore came I forth.


Luke 4:16-21

King James Version

16 And he came to Nazareth, 

where he had been brought up: 

and, as his custom was, 

he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, 

and stood up for to read.

17 And there was delivered unto him 

the book of the prophet Esaias. 

And when he had opened the book, 

he found the place where it was written,

18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, 

because he hath anointed me 

to preach the gospel to the poor; 

he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, 

to preach deliverance to the captives, 

and recovering of sight to the blind, 

to set at liberty them that are bruised,

19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.

20 And he closed the book,

and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. 

And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue 

were fastened on him.

21 And he began to say unto them, 

This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.


Luke 19:10

King James Version

10 For the Son of man is come 

to seek and to save that which was lost.


John 3:16-17

King James Version

16 For God so loved the world, 

that he gave his only begotten Son, 

that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, 

but have everlasting life.

17 For God sent not his Son into the world 

to condemn the world; 

but that the world through him 

might be saved.


John 8:3-11

King James Version

3 And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him 

a woman taken in adultery; 

and when they had set her in the midst,

4 They say unto him, 

Master, this woman was taken in adultery,

 in the very act.

5 Now Moses in the law commanded us, 

that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou?

6 This they said, tempting him, 

that they might have to accuse him. 

But Jesus stooped down, 

and with his finger wrote on the ground, 

as though he heard them not.

7 So when they continued asking him, 

he lifted up himself, and said unto them, 

He that is without sin among you, 

let him first cast a stone at her.

8 And again he stooped down, 

and wrote on the ground.

9 And they which heard it, 

being convicted by their own conscience, 

went out one by one, 

beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: 

and Jesus was left alone, 

and the woman standing in the midst.

10 When Jesus had lifted up himself, 

and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, 

Woman, where are those thine accusers? 

hath no man condemned thee?

11 She said, No man, Lord. 

And Jesus said unto her, 

Neither do I condemn thee: 

go, and sin no more.

and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.

I have finished the work 

which thou gavest me to do.

King James Version

6 I have manifested thy name unto the men 

which thou gavest me out of the world: 

thine they were, and thou gavest them me; 

and they have kept thy word.


John 17:7-8

King James Version

7 Now they have known 

that all things whatsoever thou hast given me 

are of thee.

8 For I have given unto them the words 

which thou gavest me; 

and they have received them, 

and have known surely that I came out from thee, 

and they have believed that thou 

didst send me.


John 17:12

King James Version

12 While I was with them in the world, 

I kept them in thy name: 

those that thou gavest me I have kept, 

and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; 

that the scripture might be fulfilled.


John 17:14

King James Version

14 I have given them thy word; 

and the world hath hated them, 

because they are not of the world, 

even as I am not of the world.


John 17:18

King James Version

18 As thou hast sent me into the world, 

even so have I also sent them into the world.


John 17:19

King James Version

19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, 

that they also might be sanctified 

through the truth.


John 17:22

King James Version

22 And the glory which thou gavest me 

I have given them; that they may be one, 

even as we are one:


John 17:23

King James Version

23 I in them, and thou in me, 

that they may be made perfect in one; 

and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, 

and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.


John 17:26

King James Version

26 And I have declared unto them thy name, 

and will declare it: 

that the love wherewith thou hast loved me 

may be in them, and I in them.


John 19:30

King James Version

30 When Jesus therefore 

had received the vinegar, he said, 

It is finished: 

and he bowed his head, 

and gave up the ghost.


Apostle Paul shares the gospel of JESUS CHRIST:

1 Corinthians 15:3-4

King James Version

3 For I delivered unto you first of all 

that which I also received, 

how that Christ died for our sins 

according to the scriptures;

4 And that he was buried, 

and that he rose again the third day 

according to the scriptures:


He tells us of the BLOOD of CHRIST:

Ephesians 1:7

King James Version

7 In whom we have redemption 

through his blood, 

the forgiveness of sins, 

according to the riches of his grace;


He also tells us about the CROSS:

Hebrews 2:14

King James Version

14 Forasmuch then as the children 

are partakers of flesh and blood, 

he also himself likewise took part of the same; 

that through death he might destroy him 

that had the power of death, 

that is, the devil;


Apostle Peter tells us:

1 Peter 1:18-19

King James Version

18 Forasmuch as ye know 

that ye were not redeemed 

with corruptible things, as silver and gold, 

from your vain conversation received 

by tradition from your fathers;

19 But with the precious blood of Christ, 

as of a lamb without blemish 

and without spot:


1 Peter 3:18

King James Version

18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, 

the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, 

being put to death in the flesh, 

but quickened by the Spirit:


More verses on the power of the cross can be read through this article:

"WHY Did JESUS Have to Die?"


Mark, the evangelist, tells us:

Matthew 4:17

King James Version

17 From that time 

Jesus began to preach, 

and to say, 

Repent: 

for the kingdom of heaven 

is at hand.


Mark 1:34

King James Version

34 And he healed many 

that were sick of divers diseases, 

and cast out many devils; 

and suffered not the devils to speak, 

because they knew him.


Mark 1:39

King James Version

39 And he preached in their synagogues 

throughout all Galilee, 

and cast out devils.


Much of the LORD's teachings can be found in Matthew 5, 6, and 7, with the premise:

Matthew 7:28-29

King James Version

28 And it came to pass, 

when Jesus had ended these sayings, 

the people were astonished at his doctrine:

29 For he taught them as one having authority, 

and not as the scribes.


Lastly, apostle John finishes with:

John 21:25

King James Version

25 And there are also many other things 

which Jesus did, the which, 

if they should be written every one, 

I suppose that even the world itself 

could not contain the books 

that should be written. 

Amen.
