“And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. 19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: 20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.” Matthew 28:18-20

There’s a notable difference between Jesus and the false religionists. Nothing has changed. There’s power in the lives of those who are crucified with Christ because there’s power in Jesus and His Word! He said that “ALL power” has been given into His hands and that He bestows it upon His witnesses! (See Matthew 28:18-20.)

“And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at his doctrine: 29 For he taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.” Matthew 7:28-29

“All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” ~Jesus

“ALL power” is in Jesus Christ and therefore “ALL things are yours.” (Matthew 28:18-20; 1 Corinthians 3:21) “ALL power” from Heaven is available to the disciple of Jesus in fulfilling the mission He came to accomplish. Like Jesus, can we yet say “I MUST be about my Father’s business”? See Luke 2:49

In context, when Jesus says “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth,” our LORD is speaking in terms of being used powerfully in making Him known to others, in being possessed with the same mission and power, and divine authority in His Name as He came with and perfectly fulfilled – to serve Him and others and not ourselves.

Why, for what purpose did Jesus inform us that “ALL power” is given to Him?

To teach all peoples His Word, His ways (v19)
To water baptize them in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost (v19)
To teach them His Word (v20)

IF God is your Father, if you are His, “ALL things are yours” (1 Corinthians 3:21). With this truth in mind, please tell Him what you have need of! – simply “ASK and ye shall receive” (Matthew 7:7). Ask Him beloved and Jesus Christ, the Great Intercessor at the Father’s right hand, will see that it’s answered! “ALL power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” is invested in the name, the authority, the divine Person of the LORD Jesus Christ – who was crucified for our sins, defeated death, hell, the grave, and Satan! See Matthew 28:18-20.

“The veil of the temple was rent in twain”

Through Christ’s perfect sacrifice, the veil was rent in two, the curtain has been flung wide back, and the floodgates of God’s blessings were opened.

“And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost. 38 And the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom.” Mark 15:37-38

The Full Assurance of Faith – Hebrews 10:19-23

“19 Having therefore, brethren, boldness to enter into the holiest by the blood of Jesus,
20 By a new and living way, which he hath consecrated for us, through the veil, that is to say, his flesh;
21 And having an high priest over the house of God;
22 Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
23 Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised;)”

“They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. 6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.” Psalms 126:5-6

This fallen world has never more needed Christ’s laborers, empowered by His invested divine authority, as they do now.

The Harvest Is Plentiful, the Laborers Few

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people. 36 But when he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion on them, because they fainted, and were scattered abroad, as sheep having no shepherd. 37 Then saith he unto his disciples, The harvest truly is plenteous, but the labourers are few; 38 Pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he will send forth labourers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:35-38

2 FACTS: JESUS IS STILL THE KING OF ALL KINGS, THE LORD OF ALL LORD’S AND IN FULL CONTROL OF ALL OF HIS CREATION (Colossians 1-2). The devil is STILL a liar, the father of it, and doing his evil business today – till he shall be soon vanquished into the bottomless pit (John 8:44; 1 Peter 5:8; Revelation 12:10; 20:3).

God is greater than anything you face today beloved. “ALL things are yours” because of the Lamb of God who was slain (Mark 10:27).

May we be reminded today that Jesus Christ created all that is and is the divine Sustainer of all life!

“For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.” Colossians 1:16-18

“All … preeminence” is to be given to and upon our LORD Jesus.

Jesus came to set and to make men free!

“If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.” John 8:36

And, any preaching or religion that does not emphasize this, has missed the mark of the divine plan…. Fallen mankind’s crisis is a SIN crisis that Jesus Christ alone can solve and that’s why He came. “Be not deceived” (Galatians 6:7-8).

“And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. 24 Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:23-24

From the Believer’s Bible Commentary of Acts 1:8:

“1:8 Having suppressed their curiosity as to the future date of this kingdom, the Lord Jesus directed their attention to what was more immediate—the nature and sphere of their mission. As to its nature, they were to be witnesses; as to its sphere, they were to witness in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

But first they must receive power—the power of the Holy Spirit. This power is the grand indispensable of Christian witness. A man may be highly talented, intensively trained, and widely experienced, but without spiritual power he is ineffective. On the other hand, a man may be uneducated, unattractive, and unrefined, yet let him be endued with the power of the Holy Spirit and the world will turn out to see him burn for God. The fearful disciples needed power for witnessing, holy boldness for preaching the gospel. They would receive this power when the Holy Spirit came upon them.

Their witness was to begin in Jerusalem, a meaningful prearrangement of the grace of God. The very city where our Lord was crucified was first to receive the call to repentance and faith in Him.

Then Judea, the southern section of Palestine with its strong Jewish population, and with Jerusalem as its chief city.

Then Samaria, the region in the center of Palestine, with its hated, half-breed population with whom the Jews had no dealings.

Then the end of the then-known world—the Gentile countries which had hitherto been outside the pale as far as religious privilege was concerned. In this ever widening circle of witness, we have a general outline of the flow of history in Acts.

1. The witness in Jerusalem (Chaps. 1-7)
2. The witness in Judea and Samaria (8:1-9:31)
3. The witness to the end of the earth (9:32-28:31)”

“Take heed to the ministry which thou hast received in the Lord, that thou fulfil it.” Colossians 4:17

Are you fulfilling what God has ordained and expects and holds you personally accountable to fulfill? What part are you contributing to His kingdom work – so that it can advance in the hearts of men today?

The Book of Hebrews Narrated [podcast]

Chapter 1 1 God, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2 hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; 3 who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high; 4 being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained […]

Dwelling in the Secret Place of the Most High [podcast]

“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.” John 17:3 Prayer is inseparably connected with knowing God (John 17:3). “But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou hast shut thy door, pray to thy Father which is in secret; and thy Father which seeth in secret shall reward thee openly.” Matthew 6:33 “A sinning man stops praying. A praying man stops sinning.” – Leonard Ravenhill “And in the morning, rising up a great while before day, he went out, and departed into […]

The Supremacy of Jesus Christ [podcast]

Do We Have Time to Learn More About the LORD Jesus today, OR, are We Just looking for Yet Another Quick Fix, Self-Serving Feel-Good Message like so many professing Christians today? The modern church is too busy to study Christ Himself because they’re too busy trying to use Him to get what they want. Let that soak in as you remember how long it’s been since you’ve heard a message specifically about Heaven’s King. Most modern “pastors” probably don’t even know what the word Christology means. God created us to know Him and yet, such doesn’t happen without the recipient […]

Going Directly to the Source [podcast]

IF you desire to truly hear from GOD, read His own Word for yourself. King James Bible.

“Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.” 2 Timothy 2:15

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 that the man of God may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.” 2 Timothy 3:16-17

“Nourished Up” – like a wise virgin Heaven bound saint.

“If thou put the brethren in remembrance of these things, thou shalt be a good minister of Jesus Christ, nourished up in the words of faith and of good doctrine, whereunto thou hast attained.” 1 Timothy 4:6

On this biblical topic of fervency, of being “fervent in spirit”, one commentary offers the following:

“Nourished up in the words of faith” is a biblical phrase from 1 Timothy 4:6, meaning to be continually fed, strengthened, and built up by scripture, sound Christian teaching, and doctrine, much like food sustains the body, these spiritual words sustain and grow the soul, leading to spiritual maturity and a deeper walk with God. It signifies a deliberate, ongoing intake of God’s truth, which fosters growth, guards against false teachings, and fuels a believer’s life.” (Source?)

It’s one thing to have a mere human giving you encouragement and yet another thing to get your encouragement, your spiritual nourishment from God—directly. King James Bible.

Psalms 73

“Truly God is good to Israel, even to such as are of a clean heart.

2 But as for me, my feet were almost gone; my steps had well nigh slipped.

3 For I was envious at the foolish, when I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

4 For there are no bands in their death: but their strength is firm.

5 They are not in trouble as other men; neither are they plagued like other men.

6 Therefore pride compasseth them about as a chain; violence covereth them as a garment.

7 Their eyes stand out with fatness: they have more than heart could wish.

8 They are corrupt, and speak wickedly concerning oppression: they speak loftily.

9 They set their mouth against the heavens, and their tongue walketh through the earth.

10 Therefore his people return hither: and waters of a full cup are wrung out to them.

11 And they say, How doth God know? and is there knowledge in the most High?

12 Behold, these are the ungodly, who prosper in the world; they increase in riches.

13 Verily I have cleansed my heart in vain, and washed my hands in innocency.

14 For all the day long have I been plagued, and chastened every morning.

15 If I say, I will speak thus; behold, I should offend against the generation of thy children.

16 When I thought to know this, it was too painful for me;

17 Until I went into the sanctuary of God; then understood I their end.

18 Surely thou didst set them in slippery places: thou castedst them down into destruction.

19 How are they brought into desolation, as in a moment! they are utterly consumed with terrors.

20 As a dream when one awaketh; so, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou shalt despise their image.

21 Thus my heart was grieved, and I was pricked in my reins.

22 So foolish was I, and ignorant: I was as a beast before thee.

23 Nevertheless I am continually with thee: thou hast holden me by my right hand.

24 Thou shalt guide me with thy counsel, and afterward receive me to glory.

25 Whom have I in heaven but thee? and there is none upon earth that I desire beside thee.

26 My flesh and my heart faileth: but God is the strength of my heart, and my portion for ever.

27 For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: thou hast destroyed all them that go a whoring from thee.

28 But it is good for me to draw near to God: I have put my trust in the Lord GOD, that I may declare all thy works.”
