DEAR ONE

 From: John Roy Bohlen, 19 December 2002

 Let me ask you a question for you to seriously and carefully consider for the rest of your lives:  First, I will give you the answer!  The glory of the Lord will shine upon you powerfully, and the enemies of God will be sore afraid!!!  Here's the question:  What would happen if the risen glorified Christ Jesus Yahshua would once again come to earth, not as a baby king in a manger in Bethlehem, but as He is, to live as King, within you AS your Lord and as your Life, to have His perfect way, as the King of Kings, through you, unhindered, uninterrupted!!!

 Arise, Daughter of Zion, arise from the dust, put on strength, shake thyself, like a lion going forth to take a prey, the Spirit of the Mighty Lion of the Tribe of Judah, and sweetly and violently allow the Gloriously Victorious Creator King of Everything Reign and Rule the World, through you, unceasingly, increasingly.  Amen!!!

 EYES TO SEE!!!

 II Ki 6:14  "And he (The wicked king of the Arameans) sent horses and chariots and a great army there, and they came by night and surrounded the city (to capture Elisha).  15  Now when the attendant of the man of God had risen early and gone out, behold, an army with horses and chariots was circling the city. And his servant said to him, ‘Alas, my master! What shall we do?'  16  So he answered, ‘Do not fear, for those who are with us are more than those who are with them.'  17  Then Elisha prayed and said, ‘O Yahweh, I pray, open his eyes that he may see.' And Yahweh opened the servant's eyes, and he saw; and behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire all around Elisha.  18  And when they came down to him, Elisha prayed to Yahweh and said, ‘Strike this people with blindness, I pray.' So He struck them with blindness according to the word of Elisha."  (NAS)

 We need to see things from God's perspective.  Otherwise, we can be faulty, fearful, fruitless and failing.

 This study is also touched on, and in some cases amplified in our other books, and articles, such as How To Rule The World, The King's Greatest Secret! , and, "The Throne-Room Mentality" , on Psalm 91, etc.

  I am also writing an article on the Manifested Sons of God, which talks about an End-Time Army of Believers, Overcomers, Soldiers, that God is raising up for these end-times.  But, however debatable this concept may be to some, there is absolutely NO doubt that we as Christians are NOT living up to our potential, nor to the promises of God.  For example:

  Matt 17:19  "Then the disciples came to Yahshua Jesus privately and said, ‘Why could we not cast it out?'  20  And He said to them, ‘Because of the littleness of your faith; for truly I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you shall say to this mountain, "Move from here to there," and it shall move; and nothing shall be impossible to you.' "  (NAS)

  Matt 18:18  "Truly I say to you, whatever you shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and whatever you loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven." 

  Matt 18:19  "Again I say to you, that if two of you agree on earth about anything that they may ask, it shall be done for them by My Father Who is in heaven."  (NAS)

  Matt 21:21  "And Yahshua Jesus answered and said to them, ‘Truly I say to you, if you have faith, and do not doubt, you shall not only do what was done to the fig tree, but even if you say to this mountain, "Be taken up and cast into the sea," it shall happen.  22  And all things you ask in prayer, believing, you shall receive.' "  (NAS)

  Mark 9:23  "And Yahshua Jesus said to him, " ‘If You can!' All things are possible to him who believes.' "  (NAS)

  Mark 16:17  "And these signs will accompany those who have believed: in My Name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues;  18  they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it shall not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover."  (NAS)

  John 14:12  "Truly, truly, I say to you, ‘he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go to the Father."

  John 14:13  "And whatever you ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son."

  John 14:14  "If you ask Me anything in My Name, I will do it."!!!!

  John 16:23  "Truly, truly, I say to you, if you shall ask the Father for anything, He will give it to you in My Name."

  John 16:24  "Until now you have asked for nothing in My Name; ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be made full."  (NAS)

  Rom 8:37  "But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer (We are more than conquerors!!!) through Him Who loved us."  (NAS)

  2 Cor 2:14  "But thanks be to God, Who always leads us in His triumph in Christ, and manifests through us the sweet aroma of the knowledge of Him in every place."  (NAS)  (Victory ALWAYS, EVERYWHERE!!!)

  2 Cor 3:18  "But we all, with unveiled face beholding as in a mirror the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit."  (NAS)

  2 Cor 9:8  "And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that in

all things and

all times, having

all that you need, you will

abound in

every good work."  (NIV) !!!

  Phil 4:13 "I can do all things through Christ Which strengtheneth me."

  Phil 4:19  "But my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Yahshua Jesus."  (KJV)

  James 5:14  "Is anyone among you sick?  Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the Name of the Lord;  15  and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him."  (NAS)

  1 Pet 2:24  "And He Himself bore our sins in His body on the Cross, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were healed."  (NAS)

  1 Jn 2:6  "He that saith he abideth in Him ought himself also to walk even as He walked."  (ASV)

  1 Jn 4:17  "Herein is love made perfect with us, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment; because as He is, even so are we are in this world."  (ASV) !!!

  I Jn 5:14  "And this is the boldness which we have toward Him, that, if we ask anything according to His will, He heareth us:  15  and if we know that He heareth us whatsoever we ask, we know that we HAVE the petitions which we have asked of Him."  (ASV)

  A baby kitten has its eyes closed, although fully alive.  Like the kitten, and, like the servant of Elisha, we need to have our eyes open to the reality of the Spirit, so that, like Elisha, we can see the true victory that is ours in God, when, in the natural, all seems discouraging.

  God wants us to have His perspective, His view-point, His mentality, His way of thinking, His "weltanshauung" or world view.  God wants us to look at everything, including our circumstances with eyes of faith, or the eyes that see the true reality of the Spirit.  Without the eyes of faith or the eyes of the Spirit, we see only the false reality of the natural.  But with the eyes of faith, we will be able to see the true reality like the servant did, after Elisha prayed.

  If God is truly within us, if the risen and glorified Creator King of Everything lives large within us, if the Holy Spirit is in full control, then we should be healthy and living life in the supernatural, IN GOD!!!
