Hi Trikemane
It is really special to be guided to receive and feed off the Truth that is like a sumptuous Banquet here at BT.
Here to add from LOF Part 5 http://bible-truths.com/lake5.html
Would you like to know what The Great Commission really is? Okay, here it is: "And we have seen and do testify that the Father sent [Gk: apostello, to send out on a mission—commission] TO BE THE SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD" (I John 4:14)! See Second Witness in John 3:17. Now if anyone knows of a GREATER mission or commission than this, I am sure we would all like to know what it is?
Now it would only be fitting that such a Dignitary ought to have a name that exemplifies so great a commission:
"Wherefore God also has highly EXALTED HIM, and given Him A NAME WHICH IS ABOVE EVERY NAME: That at THE NAME OF JESUS [Jehovah-SAVIOUR]…" (Phil. 2:9). See Second Witness in Eph. 1:21.
Okay then, we have the "commission," and we have "a name" befitting that commission, but do we have a Son Who will do the works of that commission or will He fail?
"…the works which the Father hath given me to finish, the same works that I DO, bear witness of Me…." (John 5:36).
A second witness: Did Jesus take the works ("to be the SAVIOUR OF THE WORLD") seriously?
"I MUST WORK THE WORKS [SAVE THE WORLD] OF HIM THAT SENT ME…." (John 9:4)!!!
What power might Jesus lack that could disable or frustrate this august commission of His Father?
"ALL POWER IS GIVEN UNTO ME in heaven and in earth" (Matt. 28:18)!
See Second Witness in Dan. 7:14.
Has Jesus already proven that He has enough power to overcome all the "free wills" of the world? "Be of good cheer; I have OVERCOME THE WORLD" (John 16:33).
I find that if I do not get my "daily bread" I slip into a coma zone of becoming numb in my senses. This Forum helps me to keep alive. When I EAT then my senses of appreciation are also heightened for the beauty and the blessings that encourage me to God's Plan and Purpose that He controls.
I am learning via the experience of feeling numb death carnality contrasting to that vital quickening spiritual reality, that my spiritual food is my most vital need.
The transition is not always easy. The L.A.B. (Life After Babylon)diet is very different!
Arc
Phil3:10:
Arcturus and all,
Not only is the LAB (Life after Babylon) very different it is so much sweeter and restful. To just know that GOD will lead me and accomplish in me what HE wishes is the most freeing event in my life. I am not responsible for the attempt to convert anyone. If the so-called religious leaders of today would only lead by example and not pressure can you imagine the results. Only CHRIST is the SAVIOUR of the world and little that man can do without HIM.
In HIM,
Phil3:10

Hey,
Thanks. Looks like it's catching on. Lol
Phil3:10 and George great points!
"...know the TRUTH and the TRUTH WILL SET YOU FREE..."
So nice to finally know what Christ meant when He said that.
Over & Out,
Daywalker
