No matter what religious exercise you do or how religious you think you are, if you don’t know GOD through the revelation knowledge of JESUS CHRIST, then all your self-righteous works are worthless, For JESUS did not come to call the self-righteous to repentance, JESUS came to save “SINNERS!”~
Brothers and sisters, It does not matter that you try to obey all the laws of GOD according to your flesh, it does not matter that you grew up in the church, it does not matter that you know Hebrew and Greek, it does not matter that you always pay your tithes, give offerings, honor the Sabbath, go to church every Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday!
For if you do all these things according to the letter of the law, but you lack the revelation knowledge of GOD in CHRIST JESUS, then all you’re doing is trying establish your own righteousness according to the flesh, and you have not submitted yourself unto the righteousness of GOD in CHRIST JESUS.
(Romans 10:2-4) For I bear them record that they have a zeal of God, but not according to knowledge. For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to every one that believes.
Brothers and sisters, knowledge is everything with GOD, JESUS, and in the kingdom of GOD, for the kingdom of GOD is built upon the revelation knowledge of who JESUS is!
Eternal life is in the revelation knowledge of who JESUS is!
Revelation knowledge caused JESUS to change Peters name from Simon to Peter, it caused JESUS to give Peter the keys to the kingdom of heaven, it caused JESUS to give Peter power to bind and loose things in heaven and on earth.
(Matthew 16:13-19) When JESUS came into the coasts of Caesarea Philippi, JESUS asked his disciples, saying, Whom do men say that I the Son of man am? And they said, Some say that you are John the Baptist: some, Elijah; and others, Jeremiah, or one of the prophets.
JESUS said unto them, But who do you say that I am?
And Simon Peter answered and said, you are the Christ, the Son of the living God. And JESUS answered and said unto him, Blessed are you, Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood have not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven. And I say also unto you, That you are Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it.
And I will give unto you the keys of the kingdom of heaven: and whatsoever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever you shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
(John 17:2-3) JESUS SAYS, As you have given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as you have given him.
And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
Brothers and sisters, When you stand before GOD on judgment day, GOD is not going to be asking you, “Do you speak Hebrew and Greek? Did you go to church every Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday? Did you pay your tithes? Did you give offerings? Did you honor the Sabbath Day?
Did you obey all the laws of Moses, and the Ten Commandments?”
Brothers and sisters, when you stand before GOD on judgment day, GOD is going to ask you the same thing he asked his disciples, “WHO DO YOU SAY THAT I AM!”
And you’re going to have to give an answer for that great question, but you will not be able to say what someone else told you about JESUS, for you’re going to have to know JESUS, the same way Peter knew JESUS, through the revelation knowledge of GOD!~
And you will not be able to say my pastor said, the bishop said, the evangelist said, the prophet said, the apostles said, my mother said or my father said, for neither hearsay, second hand knowledge or second hand information will stand in the presence of almighty GOD, because revelation knowledge is the principle thing!~
Brothers and sisters, All JESUS real sheep know JESUS, and JESUS knows his sheep!~
(John 10:11-16) JESUS SAYS, I am the good PASTOR: the good PASTOR gives his life for the sheep. But he that is an hireling, and not the shepherd, whose own the sheep are not, sees the wolf coming, and leaves the sheep, and flees: and the wolf catches them, and scatters the sheep. The hireling flees, because he is an hireling, and does not care for the sheep.
I am the good PASTOR, and I know my sheep, and my sheep know me.
As the Father knows me, even so know I the Father: and I lay down my life for the sheep.
And other sheep I have, which are not of this sheepfold: them also I must bring, and they shall hear my voice; and there shall be one sheepfold, and one PASTOR.
(John 10:26-28) JESUS SAYS, But you do not believe me, because you are not of my sheep, as I said unto you.
My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: And I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand.
(John 10:5) JESUS SAYS, And a stranger will they not follow, but will flee from him: for they know not the voice of strangers.
(John 6:44-45) JESUS SAYS, No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draws him to me: and I will raise him up at the last day. It is written in the prophets, AND THEY SHALL BE ALL TAUGHT OF GOD.
Every man therefore that has heard, and has learned of the Father, comes unto me.
(1 John 2:26-27) These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which you have received of JESUS abides in you, AND YOU DO NOT NEED THAT ANY MAN TEACH YOU: BUT AS THE SAME ANOINTING TEACHES YOU OF ALL THINGS, AND IS TRUTH, AND IS NO LIE, AND EVEN AS IT HAS TAUGHT YOU, YOU SHALL ABIDE IN JESUS.
(Galatians 1:1) Paul, an apostle, (NOT OF MEN, NEITHER BY MAN, but by Jesus Christ, and God the Father, who raised him from the dead;)
(Galatians 1:11-12) But I certify you, brethren, THAT THE GOSPEL WHICH WAS PREACHED OF ME IS NOT AFTER MAN. FOR I NEITHER RECEIVED IT OF MAN, NEITHER WAS I TAUGHT IT, BUT BY THE REVELATION OF JESUS CHRIST.
(1 John 2:26-27) These things have I written unto you concerning them that seduce you. But the anointing which you have received of JESUS abides in you, and you do not need that any man teach you: but as the same anointing teaches you of all things, and is truth, and is no lie, and even as it has taught you, you shall abide in JESUS.
