1 John 5:5-8 “Who is it that overcomes the world? Only he who believes that Jesus is the Son of God. This is the one who came by water and blood–Jesus Christ. He did not come by water only, but by water and blood. And it is the Spirit who testifies, because the Spirit is the truth. For there are three that testify: the Spirit, the water and the blood; and the three are in agreement.”

The Scene : The Church congregation singing in high praise to God almighty–reading the words on a large screen in the sanctuary–singing and visualizing the screen as a waterfall (living water). As the congregation reached high praise, the water turned blood red (Jesus’ blood) running down the screens, flowing and pooling. Jesus’ blood immersed the congregation in His blood and water–followed by the fires of the Holy Spirit extending across the top, signifying His presence and approval. Jesus Christ is Lord!

Overcomers believe Jesus Christ is the one and only Son of God.

1 John 5:1-4 ” Everyone who believes that Jesus is the Christ is born of God, and everyone who loves the Father loves His child as well. This is how we know that we love the children of God: by loving God and carrying out his commands. This is love for God: to obey his commands. And his commands are not burdensome, for everyone born of God overcomes the world. This is the victory that has overcome the world, even our faith.”

Psalm 139:2 ” You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.”

We are being watched over every minute by our Father in heaven. He knows our every need and care.

5-172 GOD WITH US

Ephesians 5:8-10 “For you were once darkness, but now you are light in the Lord. Live as children of light [for the fruit of the light consists in all goodness, righteousness and truth] and find out what pleases the Lord.”

The Scene: A clay jar* with bright light shining out of the pot. The surrounding area is dark like the nighttime. * Representing born-again, Spirit filled, Christians–true believers in Jesus Christ Savior, only-begotten Son of God.

2 Corinthians 4:6-7 ” For God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.”

Jesus is the light of the world and shines out through His people.

Jude 1:24-25 “To him who is able to keep you from falling and to present you before his glorious presence without fault and with great joy– to the only God our Savior be glory, majesty, power and authority, through Jesus Christ our Lord, before all ages, now and forevermore! Amen.”

The Scene: A large, strong nylon net–strong enough to hold yet flexible enough to not hurt someone from a tumble into the net.

We can be sure, as God’s children, that though we may stumble in our Christian walk, Father God will be right there for us, when we need Him most! He will see us through our temptations and our moral faults upon our repentance, when needed.

Psalm 55:22 “Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.”

Likewise, we are called, as followers of Jesus, to be like our Father’s net with our brothers and sisters in Christ: when they act in an unloving, unkind way toward us and others, we are able to catch them when they are hurting, by showing them Godly love, caring, forgiveness and prayer.

Psalm 66:8-9 “Praise our God, O peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping.”

Job 37:2,6-7 “Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth. He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’ So that all men he has made may know his works, he stops every man from his labor.”

The Scene: A mountain cabin covered with snow + three birds in flight: symbolic of the Holy Spirit’s presence.

Jesus covers us with His love, like the gentle snow that falls and covers he earth like a blanket.

Romans 4:7-8 “Blessed are they whose transgressions are forgiven, whose sins are covered. Blessed is the man whose sin the Lord will never count against him. “

5-169 COVERED SINS

HOSEA 14:9 “Who is wise? He will realize these things. Who is discerning? He will understand them. The ways of the Lord are right; the righteous walk in them, but the rebellious stumble in them. “

The Scene: A pair of feet–a reminder that to Jesus, our great teacher, Lord and Savior, the feet illustration has great significance, as He taught His flock

John 13:12-17 “When he had finished washing their feet, he put on his clothes and returned to his place. ‘Do you understand what I have done for you?’ he asked them. ‘You call me “Teacher” and “Lord,” and rightly so, for that is what I am. Now that I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also should wash one another’s feet. I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. I tell you the truth, no servant is greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him. Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them.’ “

The feet were used in Scripture by Father God to show He had placed, Jesus, His Son, in charge of everything and gave Him the power to rule over all.

Ephesians 1:22 “And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything to the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way.”

Romans 10:15 And how can they preach unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’

The Scene: Representative of Jesus Christ our Lord carrying His cross to Gethsemane, where he was crucified on the cross for the sins of the whole world.

Our cross: Persecution from the world for Christ’s sake, that is, all suffering that Father God allows; which includes troubles and spiritual battles/obstacles (sin).

Matthew 10:38 “And he who does not take up his cross and follow Me (that is, cleave and steadfastly to Me, conforming wholly to My example in living and if need be in dying also) is not worthy of Me.” AMPLIFIED BIBLE

“It is a great encouragement to us, when we meet with crosses, that in bearing them we follow Christ, who has shown us the way, and that if we follow him faithfully, he will lead us through sufferings like him to glory with him.” Matthew Henry Commentary page 1256 Zondervan 1960)

2 Samuel 22:2-3 “He said: ‘The Lord is my rock, my fortress and my deliverer; my God is my rock, in whom I take refuge, my shield and the horn of my salvation. He is my stronghold, my refuge and my savior–from violent men you save me.’ “

5-167 JESUS, ROCK

Psalm 100:4-5 “Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever.”

The Scene: Stars moving across the heavens with the planets trembling in their places. From the motion of the stars came giant waterfalls of living water, flowing down to earth, to the people including God’s children, to those who have been born-again through faith in Jesus Christ. The waterfalls represent God’s blessings sent down to His children.

Father God longs for the praises from His own. 2 Samuel 22:47 “The Lord lives! Praise be to my rock! Exalted be God, the Rock, my Savior!”

Acts 2:17-19 “In the last days, God says, ‘I will pour out my Spirit on all people. Your sons and daughters will prophesy, your young men will see visions, your old men will dream dreams. Even on my servants, both men and women, I will pour out my Spirit in those days, and they will prophesy. I will show wonders in the heavens, blood and fire and billows of smoke.”

He is our God!

Psalm 46:10 “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.”

The Scene: God appearing to rise as Mt. Zion. The mountain rose from the ground and grew very large–shortly thereafter a small glint of the sun began to show. The sun represents God’s only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ, the light of the world.

God’s people have actually seen but a small portion of Christ our Savior. The day is coming when we will see Him, face to face, in all His glory, majesty, full light and power, in the new Jerusalem.

John 8:12 “When Jesus spoke again to the people, he said, ‘I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.’ “

Revelation 21:23-24 “The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it.”
