Imagine the one Jesus Christ, the Son of God, and the persecution He went through - for telling the truth. They tried to destroy His entire character. They claimed, "He blasphemes God, because He claims to be the Son of God."65 Matthew 26:63-65 But Jesus kept silent. And the high priest answered and said to Him, "I adjure You by the living God that You tell us if You are the Christ, the Son of God." Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven." Then the high priest tore his clothes, saying, "He has spoken blasphemy! What further need do we have of witnesses? Look, now you have heard His blasphemy!" They even nailed Him to a cross and killed His body.66 Matthew 27:32-50. Jesus showed us the power of God and the peace that comes from God. Jesus was truly separated from this world.
You can have the same capabilities as Jesus if you tune into the voice of God that is within you.67 John 14:12 "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." Act on that voice, listen to it, and the Kingdom is yours - no man can take it away from you. Man may be able to destroy your body, but God can destroy both body and soul.68 Luke 12:4-5 "And I say to you, My friends, do not be afraid of those who kill the body, and after that have no more that they can do. But I will show you whom you should fear: Fear Him who, after He has killed, has power to cast into hell; yes, I say to you, fear Him!" Just because they threaten you, just because they throw you into solitary confinement because your name is Paul Revere, don't change. The voice that is within you, the voice of God, is yours. Do not let them talk you out of your inheritance. The Kingdom is yours. They may try to destroy your body, but the Kingdom is yours, a free gift. They're the children of hell - they don't want you to have the Kingdom of Heaven. They want your inheritance. Don't give it to them. Don't give up your entire inheritance for a mess of pottage.69 Hebrews 12:15-16 looking carefully lest anyone fall short of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up cause trouble, and by this many become defiled; lest there be any fornicator or profane person like Esau, who for one morsel of food sold his birthright.
The voice of God is within you, that is all the authority you need.70 Hebrews 10:16 "This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, says the LORD: I will put My laws into their hearts, and in their minds I will write them." Upon what authority do birds sing? Upon the same authority do we do these things. God and I are a majority. The same thing is true in your life. God and you are a majority, and that is all the authority you need.
In Christ's name we pray that we can receive the Holy Spirit, to believe in the Holy Spirit, to act upon the Holy Spirit. The voice of God is in us to discern that which is His voice and the voice of Satan. As Davy Crockett once said,
"Make sure you are right, then go for it." Don't let anybody talk you out of it. In His name we pray. Amen.71 1 John 2:27-28 But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him. And now, little children, abide in Him, that when He appears, we may have confidence and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
