John 17:1-26 KJV

[1] These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee: [2] as thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him. [3] And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. [4] I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. [5] And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was. [6] I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word. [7] Now they have known that all things whatsoever thou hast given me are of thee. [8] For I have given unto them the words which thou gavest me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came out from thee, and they have believed that thou didst send me. [9] I pray for them: I pray not for the world, but for them which thou hast given me; for they are thine. [10] And all mine are thine, and thine are mine; and I am glorified in them. [11] And now I am no more in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to thee. Holy Father, keep through thine own name those whom thou hast given me, that they may be one, as we are. [12] While I was with them in the world, I kept them in thy name: those that thou gavest me I have kept, and none of them is lost, but the son of perdition; that the scripture might be fulfilled. [13] And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves. [14] I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [15] I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil. [16] They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world. [17] Sanctify them through thy truth: thy word is truth. [18] As thou hast sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world. [19] And for their sakes I sanctify myself, that they also might be sanctified through the truth. [20] Neither pray I for these alone, but for them also which shall believe on me through their word; [21] that they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that they also may be one in us: that the world may believe that thou hast sent me. [22] And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: [23] I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me. [24] Father, I will that they also, whom thou hast given me, be with me where I am; that they may behold my glory, which thou hast given me: for thou lovedst me before the foundation of the world. [25] O righteous Father, the world hath not known thee: but I have known thee, and these have known that thou hast sent me. [26] And I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.

Hear the prayer of Christ, that you may know by His own words, what His heart is for you. Does He pray for the World, or those that The Father has given Him? It is in The Father's Hand to give, for He made all, and when He had made it, He declared that it was good. Of man; He said it was very good. (Genesis 1)

When the enemy of GOD stepped onto the scene, he that rebelled against the Throne of GOD, bringing corruption into the world. Yes, like sowing the seed of Tares in amongst the wheat of GOD. And now, it has come to harvest time and the Angels of GOD will separate the wheat from the tares. To the threshing floor the wheat is taken, to separate it from the chaff, even as the sheep will be separated from the goats. All are not the same, for some stand in rebellion to GOD, just as their father stands against GOD. Listen here how Jesus prays for us, that we will be spared. All of us, that believe He is the Son of GOD the Creator, that The Father is in Him and He is in the Father, even that by our faith in Him, that we may be one with GOD. That we may be where Christ is, that is part of what Christ prayed here for us.

Now you know the intention of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, and Who He is. Furthermore, you can know who you may become in Him. This is the message that I must bring to all, the Love of Christ for us and His work that He has done to save us. Read for yourself then here, that Christ prayed to His Father, and our Father, that the work He had to do was done. So, the work that He has left for us to do, that is left to be done. As the Father sent Him, so He sent us.

When our work here is done, then shall we be gathered unto Christ, even ascend to Him in Heaven. Until then, both He and The Father will make their abode in us, to be with us, by the Holy Spirit that is poured out in us. By the Holy Spirit are we joined to the LORD, and also to one another.

Now you know. You have heard. Will you then believe that GOD is for you, that Christ prayed for you and intends to bring you to Him where He is.

Selah, Shalom

Verse of The Day

From the YouVersion Bible App (expanded from verses 46 and 47)

Luke 1:46-55 KJV

[46] And Mary said, My soul doth magnify the Lord, [47] And my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. [48] For he hath regarded the low estate of his handmaiden: For, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. [49] For he that is mighty hath done to me great things; And holy is his name. [50] And his mercy is on them that fear him From generation to generation. [51] He hath shewed strength with his arm; He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. [52] He hath put down the mighty from their seats, And exalted them of low degree. [53] He hath filled the hungry with good things; And the rich he hath sent empty away. [54] He hath holpen his servant Israel, In remembrance of his mercy; [55] As he spake to our fathers, To Abraham, and to his seed for ever.
