"All Things are Possible to them that Believe "…………
(Mathew 17. / Mark 9. / and Luke 9.)
Patterns of Understanding
are always released only to DILIGENT Timothy’s/Titus’s who have chosen to go beyond the reading of The Daily Scriptures of God religiously. They have eventually redefined the Scriptures by meditating and allowing it to become WORD and FLESH in and through their own lives. These are they who have been seasoned by THE SALT of THE WORD and have allowed a birthing of GOD’s WORD-SEED within them. Church-gameplay doesn’t distract these students, as their aim and focus is to become Seasoned Campaigners of The Kingdom Gospel in this Compromising Generation.These are students (Young men- (1 John 2.13, 14) who have overcome the wicked one and all his charismatic scheming plastic- stuff, manifested in today’s acceptable religious system. They have understood the need of becoming strong, because The Word of God dwells in them continually in the midst of adversity attacking them. These are the like-minded sons birthed by the father-heart of Paul’s in this generation.
THE MOST MISUNDERSTOOD WORD “BELIEVES”:
One of the most mis-understood word in Scriptures is “the common word believes”. Remember Jesus Christ most often spoke The Word by using parables to illustrate the Words of and from Heaven. These words caused Supernatural Manifestations, wherever He accompanied His disciples who were in His training. If we truelly need to understand the word Believe, then we must study (Mathew 13.9-17) (Mark 4.9-13) (Luke 8.5-15) and understand that:
a) Every Word of God is God-breathed and has to be released into One’s Renewed-Mind by His Holy Spirit. ……..(2 Timothy 3.16/17) . b) The word believe, also is connected with the most important question of one’s faith and that is: Who do we say “The Son of Man is?” (Mathew 16.13-19)(Mark 8.27-30) (Luke 9.18-20).
c) Have we Encountered The Christ (By Revelation) whom we claim to believe in?
d) Do we know about Him presuming we know Him, based on others information about Him?
If this is so, then the Word Believe cannot be understood by the Unrenewed Mind, as it would only release of its kind. (Genesis 1.29b)
The word “Believe” means to be rightly connected or accurately joined to the One who we believe in. This causes us to not merely have a Mental Assent, but totally becoming bone of His bone and flesh of His flesh (Paul’s revelation in Ephesians 5.30).
………No wonder (John 3.16 and 17) have not been accurately understood by most of today’s sincere Christians.
………By the way Satan also is a believer according to (James 2.19), but the question is what and who does he believe?
………The early Church believers demonstrated and were instrumental with The Holy Spirit to write and be the Acts of the Apostles. (Acts. 2.41-47).
………Could we compare our present day museums called church, with the Church in the book of Acts? So let’s further learn what The Holy Spirit would want each of us to learn/to demonstrate in and through our lives.
THE TRANSFIGURATION DIMENSION:
Both in the beginning of (Mathew 17 and Mark 9) we see Jesus Christ leading His inner-circle of disciples Peter, James and John to a Higher level.
To further define the word believe, one has to be led by The Holy Spirit into The Transfiguration encounter with The Lord Jesus Christ – The Pattern Son.
Why did Jesus Christ choose to bring His inner-circle separated from the other disciples here?
As mentioned earlier in Mathew 13 and Mark 4 and Luke 8, the SEED for ALL ACCURATE BELIEVING is The WORD OF GOD. Now in all the above 3 gospels we understand the Pattern Jesus Christ used for ALL SEEDS within the framework of GOD’s WORD.We note that there would always be 3 out of 4 soils or grounds OR 3/4 not FULLY productive or operational. But 1/4 would be the good ground/soil causing a further 30 fold, 60 fold and 100 fold increase in Operational Production. Now please compare yourself all the 4 gospels to discover how much Effective Seed Repro-duction was understood by Peter, James and John. These set-apart 3 made 1/4 portion of the 12 disciples. Unlike Satan who took Jesus to a high Mountain to show and give Him the Stolen glory of the world’s kingdoms (Mathew 4.8). Jesus Christ led His Disciples to this High Mountain apart to release The Truth (Mark 9.2).In (Mark 9.6 onwards) Jesus was not intimidated to reveal the spirit-realm to His own disciples nor was He insecure like Simon Peter who suddenly got this brilliant revelation (from his own mind-set) to build 3 tabernacles (3 Satellite Ministry’s in today’s technology-breakthrough) for Jesus, Moses and Elijah. The apostle who heard The Father’s Revelation of His Pattern Son earlier, tragically stoops down so low to bring Jesus at par with Moses representing THE LAW and Elijah representing THE PROPHETS. That is why it’s crucial for Understanding Patterns released to us to learn from, and this is what Paul prayed for the Christians in (Ephesians 1.16-23 & 3.14-20) (Colossians 1.9-13) and others.
Stage 1.In (Mathew16. 13-18) (Mark 8.27-30) (Luke 9.18b-21) …We find The Revelation of Jesus Christ given to Peter (the voice of the disciples)
Stage 2.In (Mathew 17.1-9) (Mark 9.2-9) (Luke 9.28-36)…We find The Dimension of The Higher level (the spirit realm) shown to Peter, James and John, to Hear and Obey Jesus Christ.
Stage 3.In (Mathew 16.19 & 18.18-20)…We find Jesus Christ handing over the Keys of The Kingdom to His disciples.
For us today to “truelly believe”, we must be Delivered from Our Unrenewed Mind-set Understanding and be Cloned with The Mind of Christ, leading us into the above 3 fold dimension released for His Own.
Paul speaks to (The Romans in Ch.12.1-5), (2 Corinthians 10.1-5), (Ephesians 4.13-32 and 5.14-20) while Peter also speaks in (1 Peter 2.11-17 & 4.1-11) and (2 Peter 1.3-10) about The Renewal of The Mind.
THE KINGDOM OF GOD MUST COME IN POWER:
One facet of Jesus’s Ministry was that He always had Crowds of people following Him, but He wasn’t distracted to follow anybody, except His Father.
It is sad to see, so many Crowd-Pullers in today’s church-museums using all their Charismatic giftings to get publicity and advertisement for the flow of their own cisterns. Incidentally in this passage (Mark 9.14, 15) we see crowds around the disciples questioning them as to why they were not able to deliver the boy who had a dumb and deaf spirit, brought to them. After all there was a desperate needy father who had a demon-possessed son. The sad part about multitudes is that they always go along with a Crowd-Mentality. Neither would they help, nor could they bring the boy to Jesus who could deliver him. The best they did do was to create further disappointment in the frightened helpless father. Similarly it is grieving to know that some even today look for Mediators for instant-fix prayer’s, to bail them out of various crisis and fears of life.
Now it’s important to study the scriptural sequence of events manifested in this boy, and let’s be honest enough to identify this in today’s church-settings, laying the axe on Undealt Roots in order to become productive in The Master’s kingdom.
The Dumb and Deaf Spirits Nature:
a) Aren’t these spirits crept in unawares in many a sincere believer, thus choking him or her vocal chords from hearing or speaking what The Holy Spirit wants today. Hence a lot of religious legalism has socially been accepted by most in church, rather than the flow of The Holy Spirit’s Might.
b) The spirit takes him to various places of destruction as it releases suicidal tendencies, sometimes into the fire, other times drowning in the water. They also tear the boy from within his body-structure. Many today hear various voices of unseen people and also experience inexpressible forceful encounters in their minds causing migraine and other aches, all within the mind realm. Psychiatrists or any other science can’t assist these, as the maximum they could do is to lull the mind and use heavy tranquilizers to handle crisis unexplainable. The foaming from the mouth and the gnashing of the teeth, medically termed as fits or epilepsy, cause strength draining and the other unexplainable symptoms remain.
c) These spirits carry a foul and unclean odour and always distract by drawing attention from a crowd to themselves. These spirits would physically strengthen sometimes the victim to destroy objects or even lives of people, and before they leave this boy they nearly cause death temporarily even though the boy has been brought to Jesus.
The Real Confrontation of the Spirits by Jesus:
Before Jesus dealt with the issue of Unbelief of the boy’s father and the rebuke of the boy’s spirit, He had to confront and rebuke His own disciples. The much focussed questions to the disciples, which many modern day theologians would like to avoid, were:a) O Faithless Generation, how long shall I be with you?b) How long shall I bear or suffer with you?Jesus calls them faithless generation. Why? Because He was just transfigured before them in the mountain a little earlier, and now when their test below the mountain comes, they fail sadly to His expectation. Jesus lifted them earlier in the spirit realm, so that they could deal with all earthly realm issues.
(1 John. 3.8b) For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the worksof the devil. (John 10.10b) I am come that they might have life and that they have it more abundantly. From the above verses, we can discern one of the purposes of Jesus’s earthly mission. While on earth, Jesus always did what He saw His Father doing, and was moved mostly by compassion in all His dealings with sicknesses, infirmities or spiritual cases like this possessed boy.(Luke 4.18) Jesus was anointed by The Spirit of The Lord to heal the broken hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives…..Jesus addresses the main issue in this case: If you can believe. All things are possible to them that believe. Now this was the struggle that the father faced with the disciples of Jesus earlier. Now Jesus had to breakthrough in the mind of the father, who was already shakened by the earlier episode of the disciples.The approach of Jesus enabled the father to understand his own mind-set and he cries for mercy for his unbelief. Today amongst the disciples seen would we find similar episodes of unbelief hindering God’s Word’s performance or would we find mindsets willing to cry for mercy for the unbelief in our belief system. Jesus rebukes the deaf and dumb spirit and commands it to leave the boy and forbids the same notto enter again. Now Jesus also took the boy’s hand and lifts him up, and then the boy arises. In a sense when the spirit left the boy, he was even partially lifeless, and the life in Jesus had to surge through the boy’s mind and body to restore him.
