"Three POWERful Witnesses!"

1 John 5:8 (Amplified Bible)
 
...and there are three witnesses on the earth:
the Spirit, the water, and the blood;
and these three agree [are in unison; their testimony coincides].

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

As the days draw us nearer to the Victory Celebration that is called Easter, I wanted to bring to our attention that the number 3, appears over seventy times in the New Testament.

God the Father, Jesus the Son and Holy Spirit are just one example of this, and some 60 years after the Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ, the Apostle John gives a clear and concise account as to the effective Power of Witnesses, agreeing and are in unison bearing testimony throughout the earth.

There is such excitement within my heart knowing that God's WORD says that HE will NEVER forsake those who Believe and strive Faithfully to be Bold Witnesses of HIS Son, Holy is HIS Name in heaven above and on the earth below.

As the next 3 days pass, many will be remembering the suffering of our Lord praying in the Garden, betrayed by those HE Loved, the brutality of the scourging and the humiliation and pain of the cross.

Through the eyes of our heart, we see the anquish Christ endured, with our ears we hear the mockings hurled at HIM as HE hung between earth and heaven, and then the sound of HIS last and dying WORDs that will resound forever

as HE cries, Father, I submit to YOU my spirit!.

Is this not also what God desires to see within us, that we each lay down our own lives before HIM, bearing our cross with dignity as did Christ 2000 years ago?

Does HE not long to hear that our hearts have been pierced by the POWER of HIS Spirit, transforming our selfish desires to those of selflessly fulfilling only HIS Will?

Did not the angels in heaven stand ready, at any moment to be called upon

to avenge HIS Precious BLOOD?

Did Christ not say that unless a man be born again, first by water and then by HIS cleansing Blood, that none can enter the Kingdom of God, possessing HIS Spirit as a sign marking us as citizens of that heavenly realm?

The Witness who speaks with Compassion and Love, bears the WORDs of Life to ears that long to hear God's Truth, spoken through lips submissive to Holy Spirit, Authority decreeing that God's Kingdom reigns NOW in the earth through Believers in Christ.

Courageous to proclaim HIS Resurrection as the Eternal Victory which conquered the first death of the corruptible body, knowing Christ declared that one day our soul will be united with an incorruptible body, we must be willing to bear Witness of this Truth,

God's WORD defines these Three Witnesses, each POWERfully bearing Testimony to the sacrifice Christ made for our Inheritance of Salvation.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>|||<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

O'Lord, YOUR Spirit dwells within me with Power,
and YOUR Blood flows through my heart as LIFE!
YOUR Living Water refreshes my thirsty soul,
nourishing me to LIVE where death once reigned!!
I must Obey YOU with my lips to tell HIStory,
a Savior who died to set men free from sin's grip!!!
I will follow YOUR WORD as HE leads me,
to YOUR throne of Mercy and Grace,
far more than anything this earth can afford!

May YOUR WORDs of Eternal Light,
forever guide me O'Lord!!!
Amen!
