BUT NOW-BUT GOD!!

1. Jesus knew who He was.
2. Jesus knew what He believed.
3. Jesus knew what to say.

These are three reasons why Jesus as the Son of God and the Son of Man was successful. If we would do the same thing, then we can have the same success.

Jesus knew who He was, so can we as sons and daughters of God. We must have a revelation knowledge of this in order to do the things that Jesus did. Mark 16:15 through the rest of the chapter tells us we re to be like Jesus in every way, in character and nature. Remember we live on the resurrection side of the cross; we are now made alive in Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 2 was written to us personally from God Himself.
(Scriptures are from the Amplified Bible and written as a personal confession)

“You (God)also made me alive, so rich are You (God) in Your mercy! Because of and in order to satisfy the great and wonderful and intense love with which You loved me. You made me alive (together in fellowship and in union with Christ;) You gave me the very live of Christ Himself, the same new life with which you quickened Him, For it is by grace (the operation of Your-God’s power on my behalf), Your favour and mercy which I did not deserve that I am saved, delivered from judgment and made partakers (now in this present life) of Christ’s salvation. And You God raised me up together with You (God) and made me sit down together, giving me joint seating with You (God) in heavenly places by my being in Jesus Christ the Messiah, the Anointed One. You (God) did this so the You might clearly demonstrate through the ages to the immeasurable (limitless, surpassing) riches of Your (God’s) free grace ( the operation of Your power and unmerited favour) in Your (God’s) kindness and goodness of heart towards me in Christ Jesus.
For it’s by free grace (the operation of God’s power and unmerited favour) that I am saved, delivered from judgment and made a partaker of Christ’s salvation, through my faith. And this salvation is not of myself, of my own doing, it came through my own faith, it is a gift of God. For I am Your (God’s own handiwork, Your workmanship) created in Christ Jesus, born anew so that I may do those good works which God predestined (planned beforehand) for me taking paths which You (God) prepared ahead of time, that I should walk in them, living the good life which You (God) made ready for me to live. Therefore, I am no longer and outsider, excluded from the right of Heaven’s citizenship, but now I share citizenship with the saints, Your (God’s) own people, consecrated and set apart for Yourself (God). And I belong to Your (God’s) own household.”


Read, meditate on this, you will have victory in every area of your life. Let the Holy Spirit lead and guide you in what He would have you to do, and go.
