What Should I Speak?
John 12:48-50 He that rejecteth me, and
receiveth not my words, hath one that judgeth him: the word that I have
spoken, the same shall judge him in the last day. (49) For I have not
spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment,
what I should say, and what I should speak. (50) And I know that his
commandment is life everlasting: whatsoever I speak therefore, even as the
Father said unto me, so I speak. (KJV)
Are the words that you speak in line with
what Our Father is speaking? Because anything contrary to sound doctrine is
idle, and it’s all those idle words that we speak is what we will have to
give an account of. Jesus Christ was given a commandment, what to speak;
and because He sought the approval from above, He is now seated in that
realm because of it. Did you know that God has a commandment concerning
what you should be speaking of as well? Because if you do, then it will
bring life to you and those around you that hear words that are Spirit and
life.
1 John 3:22-24 And whatsoever we ask, we
receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that
are pleasing in his sight. (23) And this is his commandment, That we should
believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he
gave us commandment. (24) And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in
him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit
which he hath given us. (KJV)
Do you wonder at times if your prayer
requests are being heard, let alone answered? The Lord gives us a simple
commandment which spells out who we should believe in and what name He goes
by. If any man has not the Spirit of Christ, a working knowledge of who the
Son of God is and His name that gets us access to the throne of God, then
they are none of His. Again the point is made, why is it the spirit of
antichrist and not antijesus, or any other name? The Lord has given us a
simple commandment of what we should be speaking; is there any reason why
you shouldn’t be using the name of Christ in your prayers? Remember what
our Lord said if we denied Him? Yup, by leaving His name out of your
prayers and teachings that would put you in a state of denial, which will
leave your name out of His book of life, would it not?
Luke 24:45-47 Then opened he their
understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, (46) And said unto
them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise
from the dead the third day: (47) And that repentance and remission of sins
should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem.
(KJV)
That same man Jesus Christ which opened
the understanding of the scriptures to the disciples is the same person we
should be seeking to get a personal understanding of them as well. Again,
quite clearly we notice a simple commandment of what we the believer should
be speaking and the name we should be speaking it in. No wonder the enemy
comes under the title of antichrist, because if he can keep Christ on the
outside and not mentioned then it keeps those that are seeking on the
outside, and their prayer requests will not be mentioned either before the
throne of God.
2 Corinthians 4:3-6 But if our gospel be
hid, it is hid to them that are lost: (4) In whom the god of this world
hath blinded the minds of them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.
(5) For we preach not ourselves, but Christ Jesus the Lord; and ourselves
your servants for Jesus' sake. (6) For God, who commanded the light to
shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the
knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. (KJV)
As we go along through the scriptures are
you able to see a common denominator, something or should I say someone
that ties it all together? You know, if your eye, or vision, is single then
it enlightens you to a new realm, one where our Lord operates and would
like to see His people operating in more as well. This light should be the
gospel of Christ, the teaching of who we are in Christ that will illuminate
the path of life so that we won’t perish for lack of Spiritual knowledge.
Is this the light that is lighting you today so that you can know the Word
for yourself and speak those things that you should be speaking?
2 Corinthians 2:10-12 To whom ye forgive
any thing, I forgive also: for if I forgave any thing, to whom I forgave
it, for your sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ; (11) Lest Satan
should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. (12)
Furthermore, when I came to Troas to preach Christ's gospel, and a door was
opened unto me of the Lord, (KJV)
Paul knew who the one mediator is between
God and man, and his writings spell out clearly the name he knew he should
be speaking in. Whenever you desire to bring your requests before the
throne of God, you should be speaking in the person of Christ as well,
knowing the name above all names that will get you access to His throne.
You know, we as Christians, those that are Christ like, are the ones that
have the advantage, and should not be taken advantage of by the enemy. You
have access to the name that is above all names, that being Jesus Christ,
and what an advantage it is to those that know Him. We see once again that
the more Paul would teach and preach in His name, the more opposition would
come from the enemy’s camp in the form of antichrist. You know, if you
speak the way you should, the way the Lord commanded, then the enemy should
not get a foothold or an occasion to cause you to stumble again, but rather
you should continue forward in victory, triumphing over the wicked one.
Ephesians 3:4-6 Whereby, when ye read, ye
may understand my knowledge in the mystery of Christ) (5) Which in other
ages was not made known unto the sons of men, as it is now revealed unto
his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit; (6) That the Gentiles should
be fellowheirs, and of the same body, and partakers of his promise in
Christ by the gospel: (KJV)
Again, what does the gospel speak to us,
and what name should we be speaking as well. Paul wrote that the mystery is
in Christ. While many today still teach and preach in the name of Jesus,
knowing him to be the carpenters son, few are teaching the name of Christ,
which continues to be a mystery to those that still have their spiritual
blinders on.
Ephesians 3:8-12 Unto me, who am less
than the least of all saints, is this grace given, that I should preach
among the Gentiles the unsearchable riches of Christ; (9) And to make all
men see what is the fellowship of the mystery, which from the beginning of
the world hath been hid in God, who created all things by Jesus Christ:
(10) To the intent that now unto the principalities and powers in heavenly
places might be known by the church the manifold wisdom of God, (11)
According to the eternal purpose which he purposed in Christ Jesus our
Lord: (12) In whom we have boldness and access with confidence by the faith
of him. (KJV)
Paul knew what he should speak, and in
whose name he should speak it. Wow, to have access to the manifold wisdom
of God, along with some boldness and confidence. No wonder the enemy would
be described as antichrist, so that those who should be partaking of this
fellowship are kept on the outside with spiritual blinders on not knowing
this mystery. Do you know what you should be speaking, and whose name you
should be speaking in for yourself? We are either with Him or against Him.
