The Study:
Introduction.
༻༺
Many voices are speaking, especially those who say they heard a prophetic word from God or have been given a prophetic word. Many say, “God told me to tell you this, or God gave me a vision, or God is saying that in this moment.”
Be careful, watchful, and prayerful. The word of God instructs us to hear God's voice. So, I admonish you to cultivate Biblical literacy by knowing the Shepherd.
The word of God reminds us in the last days, there would be many antichrists, some who are outrightly opposed to the name of Jesus Christ and the cross, others who are more sinister and will attempt to assimilate themselves within the church, saying they speak for Jesus but do not, and in some cases will try to deceive others that they are the Messiah.
༆
Soak for a moment in the sobering words from the apostle Jude, and when you have time, study the entire letter thoroughly.
“Yet in like manner these people also, relying on their dreams, defile the flesh, reject authority, and blaspheme the glorious ones.” Jude 1:8.
༄
“But these people blaspheme all that they do not understand, and they are destroyed by all that they, like unreasoning animals, understand instinctively.” Jude 1:10.
༄
“These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted;” Jude 1:12.
༄
“These are grumblers, malcontents, following their own sinful desires; they are loud-mouthed boasters, showing favoritism to gain advantage.”
Jude 1:16
Be careful, beloved. There is no time like the present to know the LORD and soften our hearts to receive the engrafted Word. We must walk intimately with Jesus in this hour, relying solely on His presence; the Holy Spirit is our guide.
As John, the disciple whom Jesus loved, we, too, are given the opportunity to deepen our relationship with Jesus and practice His presence. Let us remember that no one enters heaven on someone else's faith. We must enjoy the Bread from heaven and the wine, that is, His blood, for ourselves.
“But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ...”2 Peter 3:18.
The Holy Spirit is intentional here—we must grow in grace and knowledge of Him, cultivating the ability to Hear and respond to Him.
Now that we have considered the landscape of our times, we can jump into the heart of my message. If you haven't already, now is a great time to grab your Bible. Let’s dig in.
༆
Foundation: The Purpose of Law and The Prophets.
༻༺
Many in the household of faith attempt to place Jesus on the same level as the Law by trying to keep the Law, while others revert to speaking in the spirit of the Old Testament prophets, proclaiming judgment to condemn people into a posture of repentance. But Jesus is greater than the Law and the Prophets, and we will see this today.
Before we get to the heart of our text, it is essential to explore the foundation of the Law and the Prophets briefly. The Law was given to bring people to Christ by bringing us to the end of ourselves.
“So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.” Galatians 3:24.
It is like a mirror, showing us God’s holy, righteous standard; therefore, any attempt to keep it, only shows how far we fall short of it.
“For by works of the law no human being will be justified in his sight, since through the law comes knowledge of sin.” Romans 3:20.
“So then, the law was our guardian until Christ came, in order that we might be justified by faith.”Galatians 3:24.
The Prophets of old served a vital purpose in delivering the word of God to the people of God because they had strayed from God. They no longer had a connection to God, so the word of the LORD came through the prophet. In the Old Testament, the prophet’s message often included a proclamation of judgment so the people would understand the consequences of not following God. Remember, they were under the Law.
I want to be clear so we don't miss this significant connection: When the people of God fell away, they stopped offering sacrifices for their sins, instead offering sacrifices to idols. I hope you see the clear connection. They not only turned from God but suffered the consequences of violating God’s Law, coming under the curse. (Deuteronomy 28:15-68).
It is very different for us because Jesus has come, the sacrifice for sin has been paid, and the Spirit of God lives in us. We don't need someone to bring us to God—the Spirit leads us. And for anyone thinking the grace of God leads to licentiousness, nothing could be further from the truth. The grace of our Lord Jesus leads us to live in righteousness and true holiness because of the Spirit.
“and, having been set free from sin, have become slaves of righteousness.”Romans 6:18
Back to the word at hand: There is a place for the prophetic word in our times. However, there is a stark difference in the type of word given by the Old Testament prophets and those who give a prophetic word under the New Covenant. Prophecy is no longer limited to one person giving a word for the Lord because all believers have been given the Holy Spirit. Yet, there is room for a prophetic ministry but it is no
longer a word of judgment to guide us to God because Jesus has come and He is speaking through His word and by His Spirit.
Key Scripture:
༻༺
“Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world.” Hebrews 1:1-2.
In saying this, it doesn't negate that divine judgment is coming on those who refuse the grace of our Lord Jesus. Notice, I said they refuse GRACE.
The word of God speaks on this subject in great detail. What we must consider is whether or not people are given a prophetic word that condemns and preaches judgment in the current dispensation, rather than the Spirit of Grace that is at work bringing about repentance.
Take some time to meditate on this passage concerning the Samaritan village that rejected Jesus.
“And he sent messengers ahead of him, who went and entered a village of the Samaritans, to make preparations for him.” Luke 9:52.
༄
“But the people did not receive him, because his face was set toward Jerusalem.” Luke 9:53.
༄
“And when his disciples James and John saw it, they said, “Lord, do you want us to tell fire to come down from heaven and consume them?”
Luke 9:54.
༄
“But He turned and rebuked and severely censured them. He said, You do not know of what sort of spirit you are, For the Son of Man did not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them [from the penalty of eternal death]. And they journeyed on to another village.”Luke 9:55-56 *AMPC.
༆
May we remember the life and ministry of Jesus. He is compassionate. He doesn't force His way. He draws us in with chords of love because of His grace. As believers, we no longer require the message of eternal judgment.
“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life. He does not come into judgment, but has passed from death to life.” John 5:24.
༄
“Since, therefore, we have now been justified by his blood, much more shall we be saved by him from the wrath of God.” Romans 5:9
We belong to God, indeed He has made His home in us through the Spirit.
Let’s be clear, there is a judgment for believers but it is the Bema Seat, not God’s wrath. Also, because we are God’s kids, we will receive correction and discipline as we are being sanctified.
But when a word of prophecy is given under the New Covenant, it is confirmation with the Spirit within us. Look at the description of the five-fold ministry here:
“And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.” Ephesians 4:11-16.
༆
Instruction: Meditate on the Word.
༻༺
As we read the Bible, it is good to reflect on what we read. Let’s not simply read a verse but squeeze every morsel we can out of each word, pouring over Him and thereby receiving from Him.
“but his delight is in the law of the Lord, and on his law he meditates day and night.” Psalm 1:2.
Let’s engage as we read, asking questions about the text to deepen our understanding. As we do, He will reveal Himself to us. And this is important because, as the children of God, the Spirit of God lives in us. Some of the greatest revelations come from sitting with Abba and allowing His Spirit to unveil Jesus. As we slow down and take note, especially of things that reoccur in the word we should pause and ponder because it is significant and where we find ourselves in our study today.
༆
It may feel as though we we are jumping around, but a systematic thread is woven into this word. I encourage you to read it more than once to allow the tapestry to come into focus.
༆
Hear Him.
༻༺
The Transfiguration is recorded in the Synoptic Gospels, which tells of its importance. It is a message for the Bride of Jesus, especially when so many people are speaking.
The initial title of this post is Hear Him, which are the words uttered by God to the apostles on the mountain. The question we will delve into is why? The rest of the title, Heed The Voice of Grace, will make more sense as we read the Scriptures.
{I have included all three accounts at the end of the study in the English Standard Version for more intense study}
Each one of the accounts has a little different detail, which are beautiful nuggets I love and don’t want you to miss. We won't cover them all, just a few I found fascinating. My hope is these will prayerfully ignite your time in the word.
༆
The picture in all three Gospel accounts is Peter, James, and John on a high mountain with our Lord Jesus—first, notice the names of the apostles and their order.
Our pastor pointed this beautiful revelation out⟢
Peter means stone. James (Jacob in Hebrew) means supplant. John means God’s grace.
Isn't that beautiful? The stone (Peter), a picture of the Law, has been replaced (James) by God’s grace (John). The message of the New Covenant is Grace and Truth, which came through Jesus Christ.
Another beautiful revelation is that Moses, who represents the Law, and Elijah, who represents the prophets, are both present. Peter, in his excitement or possibly fear, makes a statement about creating temporary booths (Tabernacles) for Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. But God the Father speaks in this amazing moment: “This is my Beloved Son; hear Him.”
It is magnificent, really, and here is why. God the Father demonstrates through the Transfiguration that Jesus is above the Law and the Prophets. The Law (Moses) and the Prophets (Elijah) were present to bear witness to God’s grace and the gift of righteousness that came through Jesus Christ. It sets the precedent for the Gospel, that is, the grace of our Lord Jesus.
༆
“But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—”
Romans 3:21.
༆
Essentially, the Law and the Prophets were a shadow of what would come through the Son. They were servants, but now the Son has come; we must listen to Him.
A few powerful gleanings:
༄
First, Moses, Elijah, and Jesus were talking. Notice that in each case, God the Father said, “Listen to Him,” not them.
“He was still speaking when, behold, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and a voice from the cloud said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him.” Matthew 17:5.
༆
“And a cloud overshadowed them, and a voice came out of the cloud, “This is my beloved Son; listen to him.” Mark 9:7.
༆
“As he was saying these things, a cloud came and overshadowed them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. And a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, my Chosen One; listen to him!” Luke 9:34-35.
༆
Second, I don't want us to miss what were Moses, Elijah, and Jesus talking about, which is found in Luke’s account, “And behold, two men were talking with him, Moses and Elijah, who appeared in glory and spoke of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem.” Luke 9:31. {boldface mine}
In this pivotal moment, they aren't talking about the Law, God’s judgment, or a prophetic word! They are talking about what Jesus would accomplish on the cross! How important is the cross to the Father’s heart? Moreover, how much should the cross be the focal point of our lives?
Friends, the cross is God's heart for us, and we will celebrate Jesus's finished work throughout eternity. Jesus will be the only one with scars that will last forever. They were caused by us, and yet the Father so loved us.
Selah~
And I don't want us to miss the love of God the Father towards the Son. Though He has always loved the Son, there is a new impetus for God to love Him, and we see it here⟢: “For this reason, the Father loves me because I lay down my life that I may take it up again.” John 10:17. The work of Jesus first and foremost glorified the Father, and the Father glorified the Son. It is breathtaking.
Since the Lord has given His life for us, may we enjoy and purposefully live for Him.
༆
See Jesus Only.
༻༺
We are admonished to see Jesus and Jesus only! Beloved, what a stunning revelation; look at these words, “And suddenly, looking around, they no longer saw anyone with them but Jesus only.” Mark 9:8. We are to hear Jesus, the Shepherd of our souls, only. “My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me.” John 10:27.
༆
Conclusion: Experience Him Through the Application of the Word.
The call for every believer—to fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith. As we allow the noise of the world to fade, when the distractions of life dissipate, we are left with the One who sustains us. Like the disciples on the Mount of Transfiguration, we are invited into a deeper revelation of Christ, where all else falls away, and we behold Him in His glory and experience His power. In doing so, we grow in intimacy with our Shepherd, who leads us along paths of righteousness for His name's sake.
༆
Final Meditation:
༻༺
“For we did not follow cleverly devised myths when we made known to you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but we were eyewitnesses of his majesty. For when he received honor and glory from God the Father, and the voice was borne to him by the Majestic Glory, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased,” we ourselves heard this very voice borne from heaven, for we were with him on the holy mountain.” 2 Peter 1:16-18.
