John 15:9-13
“As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you. NOW REMAIN IN MY LOVE. If you keep my commands, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father,s commands and remain in his love.
I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and that your joy may be complete. My command is this: LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.
Greater love has no man than this: TO LAY DOWN ONE’S LIFE FOR ONE’S FRIENDS.
The fellowship of believers is to be a tight bond of love. The example is Jesus Christ as he laid down his life for all brothers/ sisters in the faith.
We are to pray and stand in the gap for our fellow believers “IN CHRIST”. This is a powerful love, a God kind of love that Jesus is picturing for us.
He then shows it with his own blood and willingly endures the slow torture of whipping, beatings and execution by crucifixion.
IT WAS LOVE FOR HIS FATHER AND LOVE FOR US THAT COMPELLED HIM TO MAKE THE SACRAFICE.
FATHER GOD HAD SO MUCH LOVE FOR THE WORLD THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY BEGOTTEN SON TO DIE ON THAT CROSS.
THE GREATEST LOVE EVER EXPRESSED WAS FATHER AND SON MAKING A WAY FOR US TO BE SAVED.
THE COST WAS GREAT….BUT THE LOVE WAS GREATER.
SALVATION AND THE KINGDOM OF GOD ARE ALL BUILT ON LOVE.
JESUS CHRIST…..
“MY COMMAND IS THIS: LOVE EACH OTHER AS I HAVE LOVED YOU.”
LOVE IS THE RULE *
LOVE IS THE EXAMPLE *
LOVE WILL HEAL OUR LAND *
LOVE WILL HEAL YOUR FAMILY *
LOVE WILL LEAD THE WAY *
John 15:5-8
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit;
Apart from me you can do nothing. If you do not remain in me, you are like a branch that is thrown away and withers; such branches are picked up, thrown into the fire and burned.
If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
This is to my Father’s gΔΊory, that you bear much fruit, showing yourselves to be my disciples.
*** JESUS IS SHOWING PLAINLY WHAT THE GREAT NEED IS IN THE KINGDOM OF GOD *
*** REMAIN IN JESUS ***
*** APART FROM ME YOU CAN DO NOTHING
*** IF YOU DO NOT YOU WILL WITHER ***
*** THROWN IN THE FIRE AND BURNED ***
*** IF YOU DO REMAIN IN JESUS AND MY WORDS REMAIN IN YOU…..
*** ASK WHATEVER YOU WISH, AND IT WILL BE DONE FOR YOU ***
*** THIS IS TO MY FATHER’S GLORY, THAT YOU BEAR MUCH FRUIT ***
*** SHOWING THAT YOU ARE MY DISCIPLES
For every good thing to happen for you in these three Scriptures…REMAIN “IN CHRIST”

Everthing happens as you stay close to Jesus and his words live in your heart and play out in life around you.

*** WE ARE LETTING OUR LIGHT SHINE **
Romans 9:25,26
“I will call them ‘MY PEOPLE’ who were not my people; and I will call her ‘MY LOVED ONE’
who was not my loved one,”
And,
“In the very place where it was said to them,
‘YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE,’ there they will be called ‘CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD.”
Why didn’t most of Israel recognize Jesus as their Savior the Messiah? What were they looking for? Why did the great religious leaders hate him and oppose Jesus? Along this same line of thinking, why do we have a look we think Jesus must look like today?
Why is he depicted to look like Jonathan Roumie? Don’t get me wrong I have watched all episodes of “THE CHOSEN” and I think he did a great job. He brought to life Jesus in a way that connected with me. It is the look, the Jesus look when made to appeal to movie or TV audiences….RIGHT?
*** JESUS CAME TO REACH THE UNREACHABLE ***
*** HE CAME TO SAVE THOSE WHO COULD NOT BE SAVED ***
*** JESUS CAME FOR THOSE WHO WERE REJECTED BY THE RELIGIOUS COMMUNITY
*** JESUS DID NOT COME FOR THE ONES WHO HAD IT ALL TOGETHER ***
*** HE CAME FOR THE POOR NOT THE RICH
*** HE CAME FOR EVERYONE WHO IS DESPERATE FOR A SECOND CHANCE IN LIFE ***
TO THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN TOLD……
*** YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE ***
*** YOU ARE NOT LOVED ***
REMEMBER THE PLACE WHERE YOU WERE TOLD ….”YOU ARE NOT MY PEOPLE.”
REMEMBER THE PLACE WERE THEY SAID…
“YOU ARE NOT LOVED BY GOD.”
IN THAT VERY PLACE…….
THERE THEY WILL BE CALLED ‘CHILDREN OF THE LIVING.'”
HE CAME FOR THE ONES WHO ARE REJECTED BY THE ….
*WORLD*
*MANS ORGANIZED RELIGION*
*REJECTED AT AMERICA’S BORDER*
When men say “YOU ARE NO USE TO ME”,
then Jesus will take you and see your value.
When the docter rejects you for not having insurance….then Jesus will heal you.
When they say “YOU ARE NOT OUR KIND OF PEOPLE” ……Jesus says “YOU ARE MY KIND OF PEOPLE.”
When they say “YOU ARE NOT AMERICAN”
I here Jesus saying “YOU ARE CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD.”
When they say “THEY ARE RAPISTS, MURDERERS, CRIMINALS …..Jesus speaks to you…”CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD.”
They say “SCUM, LOWLIFE, ENEMIES OF AMERICA.” Jesus says….” CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD.”
*** THEY ALWAYS MAKE PEOPLE THEIR ENEMIES AND BLAME THEM FOR PROBLEMS THEY MADE ***
*** THEY ARE ALWAYS BETTER THAN, SMARTER THAN, ***
JESUS IS CALLING YOU TO HIS KINDOM AS CHILDREN OF THE LIVING GOD.
2 Timothy 1: 13,14
What you heard from me, keep as a pattern of sound teaching, with faith and love in Christ Jesus.
Guard the good deposit that was entrusted to you —- gaurd it with the help of the Holy Spirit who lives in us.
2 Timothy 3 : 10,11
You, however, know all about my teaching, my way of life, my purpose, faith, patience, love, endurance, persecutions, suffering —
*** THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIMSELF IS THE ONE WHO CALLS A MAN TO PREACH THE GOSPEL ***
*** LIKE PAUL IN OUR TEXT EXPLAINS TO TIMOTHY WHAT TO FOCUS ON TO PUT GOD”S KINGDOM PLAN ADVANCING INTO ACTION ***
*** NOTICE, HE IS REMINDING TIMOTHY ABOUT HIS (Paul’s) …..
* TEACHING *
* WAY OF LIFE *
* PURPOSE *
* FAITH *
* PATIENCE *
* LOVE *
* ENDURANCE *
* PERSECUTIONS *
* SUFFERING *
*** THIS IS DISCIPLESHIP AT A HIGH KINGDOM LEVEL ***
*** NOTICE HOW PERSONAL IT IS AND HOW ACCOUNTABLE PAUL IS TO TIMOTHY FOR HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY ***
*** PAUL WAS SAYING……”FOLLOW ME AS I FOLLOW JESUS ***
*** THERE WAS NO GOING OFF TO BIBLE COLLEGE AND BECOMING AN ORDAINED MINISTER ***
*** NO CERTIFICATION FROM RELIGIOUS SCHOOLS ***
*** TIMOTHY WAS LEARNING PAUL,S ….
* LOOK *
* SEE *
* DO *
Method of true discipleship
*** HE WAS GETTING HANDS ON ANOINTED
MINISTRY TRAINING FROM THE MOST PROLIFIC SOUL WINNING, CHURCH PLANTER OF ALL TIME ***
*** PAUL WAS POURING HIS LIFE INTO TIMOTHY OUT OF LOVE AND THE FUTURE OF GOD’S KINGDOM ***
*** THIS WAS IN LINE WITH WHAT JESUS DID FOR PAUL ***
*** WHAT JESUS DID FOR PETER ***
*** THIS IS JESUS DOING THIS WORK IN YOU ***
*** HE WILL USE A MAN APPROVED BY HIM TO POUR THE HOLY SPIRIT MINISTRY INTO YOU ***
*** YOU MUST SEE JESUS IN THE MAN OF GOD TEACHING YOU ***
*** THIS MAN MAY FAIL…..BUT WHAT DOES HE DO WITH FAILURE? ***
*** DOES HE SHOW YOU HOW TO OVERCOME SETBACKS/FAILURE? ***
*** UNDER PRESSURE IS HE CONTROLLED FROM WITHIN BY THE POWER OF HOLY SPIRIT? ***
*** DOES HIS CHARACTER HOLD UP AND HIS MINISTRY PRESS THROUGH IN DIFFICULTIES? ***
*** DOES HE PRACTICE WHAT HE PREACHES ? ***
This is an imperfect world but God’s love and the Holy Spirit will help you to fulfill your calling.
*** GAURD THE GOOD DEPOSIT THAT WAS ENTRUSTED TO YOU ***
*** GAURD IT WITH THE HELP OF THE HOLY SPIRIT ***
*** THIS IS A HIGH CALLING ***
Isaiah 42:1- 4
“Here is my servant, whom I uphold, my chosen one in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him, AND HE WILL BRING JUSTICE TO THE NATIONS.
He will not shout or cry out, or raise his voice in the streets. A bruised reed he will not break, and a smoldering wick he will not snuff out.
In faithfulness he will bring forth JUSTICE;
he will not falter or be discouraged till he
ESTABLISHES JUSTICE ON EARTH.
IN HIS TEACHING THE ISLANDS WILL PUT THEIR HOPE.”
Isaiah 42 : 6,7
“I, the Lord, have called you in righteousness;
I will take hold of your hand. I will keep you and make you to be a covenant for the people and a light for the Non-Jewish people on earth.”
To open eyes that are blind, to free captives from prison and to release from the dungeon those who sit in darkness.”
Jesus brings forth everywhere he goes……
* JUSTICE *
* RESTORATION *
* PEACE *
* FREEDOM *
* LIGHT *
* HEALING *
Tenderly he reaches out and shows mercy and restores broken, hurting, oppressed people everywhere he goes.
This is what Jesus did…..
* HE WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD AND HEALING ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED BY THE DEVIL *
Here is my question…….
* WHY WITH A LEADER AND SAVIOR SO PURE AND UNDEFILED AS JESUS…….
* WHY IN JESUS NAME DO SOME DO HARM AND OPPRESS PEOPLE INSTEAD OF WALKING LIKE JESUS? *
* CAN ANYONE EXPLAIN WHY THE NAME OF JESUS WAS USED TO KILL AND STEAL LAND IN AMERICA FROM NATIVE PEOPLE?
* WHY THE PRESIDENT OF AMERICA WITH OVERWHELMING SUPPORT FROM A LARGE SEGMENT OF CHRISTIANITY DOES SO MUCH HARM TO VULNERABLE HURTING PEOPLE? *
* WHY ARE MASKED MEN TERRORIZING BROWN FOLLOWERS OF JESUS IN AMERICA
WITH THE SUPPORT OF A GROUP OF CHRISTIANS? *
* WHY ARE SO MANY KILLED IN THE NAME OF JESUS? *
If my people who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray…..seek my face and turn from their wicked ways——
THEN I WILL HEAR FROM HEAVEN……
FORGIVE THIER SIN,
HEAL THEIR LAND.
Return to Jesus and walk like him getting rid this wickedness/ selfishness and he will forgive and restore….
JESUS WILL HEAL YOUR LAND.
Matthew 4:15-17
“Land of Zebulun and land of Naphtali, the Way of the Sea, beyond the Jordan,
Galilee of the Gentiles—–
the people living in darkness have seen a great light;
on those living in the shadow of death…..
A LIGHT HAS DAWNED.”
From that time on Jesus began to preach,
“Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.”
2 Corinthians 4:6
For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of God’s glory displayed in the face of Christ.
But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this allsurpassing power is from God and not from us.
*** Jesus walking the paths around Galilee and preaching “Repent, for the kingdom of heaven has come near.” ***
*** THE CONDITION OF THE PEOPLE AROUND GALILEE WAS THE SAME AS US TODAY BEFORE GOD’S LIGHT SHINES IN OUR HEARTS……
*** LIVING IN DARKNESS ***
*** IN THE SHADOW OF DEATH ***
If you are living your life the best you can. Working a job to support your family and looking for a raise from the boss to get ahead, but…..
*** DOING IT ALL WITHOUT JESUS AS YOUR LORD AND SAVIOR ***
You may not think you are LIVING IN DARKNESS and THE SHADOW OF DEATH but you know something is off in your life.
Darkness is simply ignorance of the light of Jesus Christ. You become condition to the darkness it is familiar to you.
Only when God shines the light of the knowledge of his glory in the face of Jesus in your heart do you realize the darkness…..
*** WHEN THE DARKNESS IS GONE ***
*** WHEN THE LIGHT SHINES ***
*** WHEN YOU SEE THE LIGHT ***
*** THEN YOU WILL SAY……
I once was blind, but now I see.
It is a tremendous change of heart that God gives you. It is being BORN AGAIN. The
Holy Spirit of God transform you into a……
*** NEW CREATION ***
A new future with God smiling on your life and ways.
GOD IS SAYING…..
“I KNOW THE THOUGHTS I HAVE FOR YOU, THOUGHTS AND PLANS FOR GOOD AND NOT EVIL, PLANS TO GIVE YOU A FUTURE AND A HOPE.”
John 18:36-38
Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world. If it were, my servants would fight to prevent my arrest by the Jewish leaders. But now my kingdom is from another place.”
“You are a king, then!” said Pilate.
Jesus answered, “You say that I am a king. In fact, the reason I was born and came into the world is to testify to the truth. Everyone on the side of truth listens to me.”
“What is truth?” retorted Pilate. With this he went out again to the Jews gathered there and said, “I find no basis for a charge against him.
********************************************
Jesus is talking with Pilate who is trying to find out why the Jewish leaders want him crucified. From Pilate’s questioning Jesus makes know to us all why he was born, and came into this world…….
*** I CAME TO TESTIFY TO THE TRUTH **
*** MY KINGDOM IS NOT OF THIS WORLD
*** EVERYONE ON THE SIDE OF TRUTH
LISTENS TO ME ***
Pilate’s statements reveal a great deal about himself and the world we live in 2026……
*** WHAT IS TRUTH ***
Pilate’s truth was if he pleased Caesar he could keep his life of riches and influence as a Roman governor.
Pilate’s truth was to keep from a riot he needed to please the Jewish religious leaders that wanted Jesus crucified.
The religious leaders truth was if they could just kill Jesus then things would calm down and go back as they were.
*** PEOPLE IN 2026 ALL HAVE THEIR DIFFERENT VIEW OF TRUTH ***
*** MOST PEOPLE HAVE A MYOPIC VIEW OF TRUTH ***
*** THE POLITICAL LEADERS IN AMERICA DEFINITELY HAVE A SELISH, PERSONAL INTEREST IN GETTING RICH AND KEEPING THEIR POWER ***
*** THIER TRUTH IS WHATEVER LIE MUST BE TOLD OR WHOEVER NEEDS TO BE HURT TO KEEP OUR POWER, SO BE IT ***
*** THEIR TRUTH IS ….WHATEVER WE CAN GET AWAY WITH BY INVOKING OUR POWER,
LET’S DO IT ***
*** THEIR TRUTH IS ….NO ONE HAS STOPPED US YET SO KEEP GOING AT ALL COSTS ***
*** THEIR TRUTH IS …..WE ARE IN TO DEEP NOW TO TURN BACK ***
What is the truth of the American people as we experience this leadership built on deception and desperately keeping
Control…….
*** THE TRUTH FOR SOME IS IT IS EASIER TO GO ALONG WITH IT THAN TO FIGHT **
*** SOME THINK LIKE PILATE AND TRUTH IS ABSTRACT OR SOMETHING OF YOUR OWN MAKING ***
*** DONALD TRUMP’S TRUTH IS….IF I SAY IT IS TRUTH AND KEEP TELLING IT LONG ENOUGH, THEN IT WILL BECOME TRUTH ***
*** DONALD TRUMP SPEAKS THE TRUTH ONLY 3% OF THE TIME ***
*** DONALD TRUMP’S TRUTH IS…..I CAN GET AWAY WITH ANYTHING…..I AM THE PRESIDENT ***
A majority of our people still know that truth is what Jesus came to testify of.
Jesus life is a picture of truth. He is the example of Father God’s truth for mankind.
JESUS CHRIST……
“I am the way and the TRUTH and the life. No
one comes to the Father except through me.
The truth is worth holding on to. Truth is the bedrock of life itself. Hold close to Jesus and he will keep you in the truth.
