Title: The works of Christ Jesus    
  
  
  
  

    

  
  
  
  


It is important for every believer to understand that they are Sons Of God by virtue of being born of the Word and Holy Spirit.   

Jesus is the First Fruit but we are fruit from the same tree.   The Holy Spirit Father of Jesus is also our Holy Spirit Father.   

What are the works of Christ Jesus?   
    taught the Word
    healed the sick
    set captive free
    raised the dead
    fed the hungry
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your heavenly Father.
Since the light is the Word and Holy Spirit in us, it will have a positive effect on those who see it issuing from us.     The positive effect is that they are drawn to Christ Jesus and in so doing glorify His Holy Spirit.

Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me?     the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
How can Jesus be in the Father and the Father be in Him?     
Understand who the Father is.     He is a Spirit.     He is the Holy Spirit.     The Holy Spirit fills the universe and beyond.     But He birthed the body of Jesus and annointed Him to be Messiah - He filled the body of Jesus.     

Jesus spoke what the Holy Spirit inspired Him to speak.     Jesus reached out to heal and deliver those whom the Holy Spirit empowered Him to bless.     

Just as the disciples and others of Jesus` day could not look past the physical form of Jesus and see the Father, likewise today, people cannot see past our physical form to see the Father in us.     

What is even worse is that many of us cannot look past our own physical form to realize Christ in us the expectation of the Father`s glory being manifested in and through us.     

Greater works shall we do because the Father has made His abode in us.     We are filled with the Holy Spirit.     


Father is a role.     It is not the name of a being.     The name of the Father is Christ Jesus.     (For that matter, the name of the Holy Spirit is Christ Jesus).     But Jesus was clarifying how He, as a man, was able to do what He did and say what He said.     

The Holy Spirit is the Father of Jesus.     He is the one who impregnated Mary.     He is the One who inspires and implements the Word.     

So, Jesus being the Word speaks and interacts with those in the Physical Realm, while the Holy Spirit from the Spirit Realm (Heaven) inspires Jesus to speak and then performs the works that Jesus does.     

The Holy Spirit and the Word are One.     You cannot separate them.     If you try to you will either have the Word or the Power and neither will be effective.     The Word speaks the purpose, while the Power achieves the purpose.     The Holy Spirit and Word are inseparable.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
In order to do the works that Jesus did one must Believe On Jesus.     To Believe On Jesus is to believe exactly and only what Jesus just told His disciples in .     

This is one of the most ignored things that Jesus said.     Why?     Due to the doctrine of the trinity believers have relegated Jesus to just being Saviour.     So, they believe on Jesus for salvation but defer to 'God' as the real deity.     

Disciples follow their master in His footsteps learning from Him and imitating Him.     

Jesus is telling us that we are to spread the Gospel, heal the sick, set captives free and make disciples of all men.     Doing so is doing Good Works, Mighty Works.     

We can only do this by the power of the Holy Spirit operating in a vessel with the Mind Of Christ.     


What did Jesus mean by 'I go unto my Father'?     Jesus returned to the Spirit Realm (Heaven) when He ascended where the Holy Spirit Father is most readily experienced.     It is the seat from where The Majesty emanates throughout the universe.

And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same Holy Spirit which worketh all in all.
God is a Spirit , the Holy Spirit.     

The Holy Spirit is the Father of Jesus Christ .     

The Holy Spirit is the Spirit Of Jesus Christ .     

Jesus is the body, the image of His Holy Spirit .     

There is One God who is Spirit Soul And Body whose name is Jesus .     

This is the Truth that the Jews of Jesus`s day would not accept.     

Be true to the Lord Jesus Christ, worshipping no other god .     

But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will.
One Holy Spirit of our Lord Jesus Christ manifesting His power in us to accomplish His will through our lives.

And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
The power of Christ Jesus is His Holy Spirit whom He has given to us so that we can do His work .     

We are in partnership with our Lord
    we provide the mind and body and
    He provides His Word and His Spirit .     

Until we understand this arrangement we will not see the power of our Lord Jesus Christ manifested through us.

Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us,
The power that works in us is the Holy Spirit, who is the Gift Of Christ in us.     

Our Lord is only able to do these wonderful things by His Holy Spirit in us, while the Holy Spirit in us is effective only to the extent that we submit to Him.     

Consider also the following verses:

For it is the Lord which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Your will is a part of your soul.     It is that part of you which opens and closes doors.     

When you open your heart to the Lord Jesus Christ, you enable Him to recreate you in the New Birth.     

As you submit your will to His Holy Spirit you enable His will to manifest in you.     

To the extent that you work out your Soul Salvation through the submission of your will to His, you will see the Holy Spirit perform holy acts through your life.     

It is the New Spirit being that you are, which you allow to manifest, which is in sync with the Holy Spirit, which directs your will and actions.

All scripture is given by inspiration of the Lord, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
The Word Of The Lord is immutable and will be used to judge the quick and the dead.     

The Word Of The Lord is Spirit and life .     

Those who never find it never know the Lord who is life .     

Those who ignore it walk in darkness .     

That the man of the Lord may be perfect, throughly furnished unto all good works.
The Holy Spirit teaches us what is in the Word by giving Spiritual Revelation.     

The scottish word Graith reflects the understanding and appropriation of this verse.

Then said they unto him, What shall we do, that we might work the works of the Holy Spirit?
How can a regular person do the miracles that Jesus did?

Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the work of the Lord, that ye believe on him whom he hath sent.
So, what our Lord Jesus Christ has sought to accomplish is, our faith in Him.     

`All these things` flow out of Grace Through Faith in Christ Jesus.     

That faith should produce Good Works.     If there are no Good Works:
    purify your heart
    spend time in the Word
    pray in the Spirit.     
    resist the devil
    guard your heart
    fellowship with fellow believers.

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
The Kingdom Of Heaven being At Hand was a new concept.     It is still not grasped even in the church.     Jesus instructed us to pray that His kingdom come and His will be done on earth as it is in heaven.     

Jesus fulfilled His part of that prayer by bringing us into Himself through the New Birth so that we are seated with Him in Heavenly Places.     Our part of fulfilling that prayer is to preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ to every creature.     

The Kingdom Of Heaven is the Holy Spirit who issues from the Spirit Realm into the Physical Realm.

Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
What have we received?     
All things for life and godliness .     

What are we to give?     
All things for life and godliness.     

Who are we to give to?     
Whosoever will come to Christ Jesus in faith .     

Jesus wants us to administer His kingdom to those who will enter into it by faith in Him.     

If you are a believer and receiver of Christ Jesus, you have all things for life and godliness in you.     You are to give out those gifts to others freely.
