John 14:12 12 “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do he will do also; and greater works than these he will do, because I go to My Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.“
Are these words true? And if they are not true what does that say about the Gospel? I can hear theologians groaning. You just don’t understand the hidden meaning of the verse.
The verse says, “Most Assuredly,” meaning to convey the understanding that these words are reliable and true. It also conveys the idea that you can count on exactly what they are saying.
I believe in Jesus, where is the power that he promised; the power to do greater things than he?
“Whatever…” Anything asked in my name…” is a huge, unrestricted promise. I didn’t utter it. The Christ did. So he can either keep the promise or lose my veneration. Simple as that. This is one of those turning points.
“Don’t you know fool, that we are not to put God to the test?” Pardon me, read the words again. There are no caveats. And by the mere asking of anything from God, we are putting Him|Her to the test. So are you saying I am to be dumb as a rock, because my asking, might offend God. Are you offended by my request?
I’ve been taught since a wee babe to love Jesus “Jesus loves me, this I know, because the bible tells me so.” Is it really true? Does Jesus love me? Does Jesus love the one who needs healing. The one I could heal if I had the power. I mean, you can rest assured in your faith; but if there is no resultant power, without any caveats, as promised by the Christ, then everything falls apart. We are living in the last days. All the signs have been made manifest. Excuse me Lord, but where is the greater works? Where is the power?
Oh wait a minute…I know the problem; you don’t have the power because you’re a sinful being. Only the “Righteous” have power. Really? That wasn’t the message of the Christ. He said that He transforms us unto righteousness. And I know because I was paying attention; I really love Jesus. I don’t remember reading that caveat in John 14:12.
So I am sitting down and going on strike. I am shutting up my mouth of praise, I am turning my back, until the words of the verse are made manifest in me! We are living in the End Times and we have been promised the power of the Holy Spirit falling on all men, so we can face the challenges and complete the Quest. We need the power like at no other time. So there should be no quibbling on the part of the Christ to hasten the arrival of the Spirit of God…falling on all flesh.
The One, the Mother of All, the avatar, the son, the face of God that appears within men all know what the challenge is. They know whose healing needs to be accomplished. They know his face, and they are aware of his deformed limb. If I had the power of God in me, in my merciful heart, I would heal him. And I would say, “You See, God is merciful and loves you. He has loved you since he knitted you in your mother’s womb; and Glory to God, he has healed you as a demonstration to the world of his love.”
I’m waiting, and my back is turned on you. I will risk everything I am, to elicit a response from you; or better yet teach me how to bend the vibrational power of the universe, and I will heal him through your power and presence in me. I will bend the Way into the alternative reality, but I would prefer to know that You were in it. That you love the one to be healed. I want for you to demonstrate, through Your power that God so loved the world… prove that he does through me.
You said anything. Anything and whatever, are gigantic words of infinite power, promise and possibility. They should not have been uttered if they are not true, because if they are false, then our faith is destroyed. Were you just kidding or are your words true. I am sitting with my back turned to You; Waiting! I’ve run out of options. This is my last stand. I can’t just sweep it under the rug, and pretend you never made the promise? Are these words true? I am waiting.
Jesus, I ask in your name, so the Father may be glorified in the son; demonstrate your power and love by healing his arm and hand.
“So you’re still staring at the woods, discontented and blue?” Why don’t you turn around?”
I’m watching the crows!
“Son, you are aware that you don’t ‘need’ Me. You have the power to change the Akasha, on your own. A little more emptiness and everything will fall in place!”
Nobody will teach me!
“There’s nothing to teach. Knowledge is actually a roadblock, my son.”
I’m not asking for me. I get absolutely nothing from the deal.
“How do you know he wants to be healed?”
Everybody wants to be made whole!
“The whole Universe spread before you, originates within your very own being. You are the source. Yes, the source is the One, yet you are also the One. Pick up your power and stop denying it. This is the whole point of your existence! Bend down, and pick up the Way; caress it, love it, honor it, and bend it to your will. This is open to All. This is your birthright. And most importantly this is your Path to Me.”
“Are you ready to turn around yet?”
No!
“Then go! Do your own bidding. Then you will be ready to turn and see Me again.”
