“So Jesus told them, “I’m not teaching you my own thoughts, but
those of God who sent me. If Any Of You Really Determines To Do God’s
Will, then you will certainly know whether my teaching is from God or is
merely my own.”
To: ALL WHO HAVE EARS TO HEAR
From: GOD THE FATHER, THE LORD JESUS CHRIST HIS SON and Ministered through the HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD, The Helper, that He may be
with you forever. [John 14:16]
Subject: MY WORD; John 1:1 (NKJV) 1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. John
1:14 (NKJV) 14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us,
and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father, full
of grace and truth.
John 7:10–20 (The Living Bible) 10 But after his brothers had left for the celebration, then he went
too, though secretly, staying out of the public eye. 11 The Jewish
leaders tried to find him at the celebration and kept asking if anyone had seen
him. 12 There was a lot of discussion about him among the crowds.
Some said, “He’s a wonderful man,” while others said, “No, he’s duping the
public.” 13 But no one had the courage to speak out for him in
public for fear of reprisals from the Jewish leaders. 14 Then,
midway through the festival, Jesus went up to the Temple and preached openly. 15
The Jewish leaders were surprised when they heard him. “How can he know so much
when he’s never been to our schools?” they asked. 16 So Jesus told
them, “I’m not teaching you my own
thoughts, but those of God who sent me. 17 If any of you really
determines to do God’s will, then you will certainly know whether my teaching
is from God or is merely my own. 18 Anyone presenting his own
ideas is looking for praise for himself, but anyone seeking to honor the one
who sent him is a good and true person. 19 None of you obeys
the laws of Moses! So why pick on me for breaking them? Why kill me
for this?” 20 The crowd replied, “You’re out of your mind! Who’s
trying to kill you?”
John 8:30–47 (The Living Bible) 30
Then many of the Jewish leaders who heard him say these things began believing
him to be the Messiah. Jesus said to them, “You are truly my disciples if you live as I tell you to, 32
and you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” 33
“But we are descendants of Abraham,” they said, “and have never been slaves to
any man on earth! What do you mean, ‘set free’?” 34 Jesus replied,
“You are slaves of sin, every one of you. 35 And slaves don’t have
rights, but the Son has every right there is! 36 So if the Son sets
you free, you will indeed be free—37 (Yes, I realize that you are
descendants of Abraham!) And yet some of
you are trying to kill me because my message does not find a home within your
hearts. 38 I am telling
you what I saw when I was with my Father. But you are following the advice
of your father.” 39 “Our father is Abraham,” they declared.
“No!” Jesus replied, “for if he were, you would follow his good example. 40
But instead you are trying to kill me—and all because I told you the truth I
heard from God. Abraham wouldn’t do a thing like that! 41 No, you
are obeying your real father when you act that way.” They replied, “We
were not born out of wedlock—our true Father is God himself.” 42
Jesus told them, “If that were so, then you would love me, for I have come to
you from God. I am not here on my own,
but he sent me. 43 Why can’t you understand what I am saying? It
is because you are prevented from doing so! 44 For you are the
children of your father the devil and you love to do the evil things he does.
He was a murderer from the beginning and a hater of truth—there is not an iota
of truth in him. When he lies, it is perfectly normal; for he is the father of
liars. 45 And so when I tell the truth, you just naturally don’t
believe it! 46 “Which of you can truthfully accuse me of one single
sin? No one! And since I am telling you the truth, why don’t you believe me? 47
Anyone whose Father is God listens
gladly to the words of God. Since you don’t, it proves you aren’t his
children.”

Please open your Bible and take the time to read Psalm Chapter 18, uninterrupted. Ask the Holy
Spirit of the Living God to teach you and give you His wisdom and understanding. Praise
God!

reading the entire chapter or book, asking the Holy Spirit of the Living God to

Peter 1:16–21 (Williams) 16
For it was not mere stories of fancy that we followed when we told
you of the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we had been
eyewitnesses of His majesty. 17 For when He received such honor and
glory from God the Father, when from the majestic glory there was borne to Him
a voice like this, “This is my Son, my Beloved, in whom I take delight.” 18
we heard this voice ourselves borne from heaven while we were with Him on that
sacred mountain. 19 So we have the message of the prophets more
certainly guaranteed. Please pay
attention to this message as to a lamp that is shining in a dismal place, until
the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts; 20 because
you recognize this truth above all else, that
no prophecy in Scripture is to be interpreted by one’s own mind, 21
for no prophecy has ever yet originated in man’s will, but men who were led by
the Holy Spirit spoke from God.]
Philippians 2:9–11 (The Living Bible) 9 Yet it was because of this that God raised him
up to the heights of heaven and gave him a name which is above every other
name, 10 that at the name of
Jesus every knee shall bow in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11
and every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God
the Father.
