Jesus Christ already knows what to do

How often are those times when we make requests or when the Lord makes requests of us.  We sometimes pray as if God does not know what is going in our lives - Words such as Can you see, Did you hear, Don\'t you know flow without knowledge out of our mouths during those periods. 

It was during such an episode that the Lord had to chastise Job when He answered him during the season of his complaints.  In Job 38:2, the Lord asked Job - "Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knoledge?"  Complaining will not get you anywhere with God. Now, the Lord has admonished us to make supplication - The word supplication itself means humbly petitioning.  That is why in Philippians 4:6 we are taught to "Be careful for nothing; but in every thing by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God."  The word did not say with complaining, distrust, lack of faith and ungratefulness to make our requests known.  Many people will receive their breakthrough this season when they change the way they are praying in Jesus Christ\'s name (Amen).

Now - concerning the original topic - Jesus Christ of Nazareth, the Word that was with God from the beginning (John 1:1) already knows what to do!  He has the Role of the High Priest in the life of every single child of God.  This was an aspect of His calling as the Savior and Deliverer of the world and why He had to be manisfested in the flesh.  The Message Bible breaks it down for us in Hebrews 2:16-18;
   16 -18It\'s obvious, of course, that he didn\'t go to all this trouble for angels. It was for people like us, children of Abraham. That\'s why he had to enter into every detail of human life. Then, when he came before God as high priest to get rid of the people\'s sins, he would have already experienced it all himself—all the pain, all the testing—and would be able to help where help was needed.

Yes, brethren, Jesus has experienced it ALL, whether you choose to ackowledge this truth or not.  I will rely on the interpretation of both the Amplified and the Message versions of the Bible to provide even more clarity to this truth as it written in Hebrews 4:14-15.

14Inasmuch then as we have a great High Priest Who has [already] ascended and passed through the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our confession [of faith in Him].

    15For we do not have a High Priest Who is unable to understand and sympathize and have a shared feeling with our weaknesses and infirmities and liability to the assaults of temptation, but One Who has been tempted in every respect as we are, yet without sinning.

The Message Bible expands on this as well by informing us that "Now that we know what we have—Jesus, this great High Priest with ready access to God—let\'s not let it slip through our fingers. We don\'t have a priest who is out of touch with our reality. He\'s been through weakness and testing, experienced it all—all but the sin. So let\'s walk right up to him and get what he is so ready to give. Take the mercy, accept the help.

Let\'s take a look at some examples in the Bible - In John 6:1-14, Jesus asked Philip where they could buy bread to feed the great company before them in the mountain.  Philip must have been wondering in his mind all the physical things that his eyes could see and his mind could comprehend -

- Is it possible? We have 5000 people?, how much is in the treasury or the bank?, will the baker even have enough bread to feed 5000? - wait, there is no bakery up here in the mountains, how will we transport and distribute bread for 5000 people?  How many times are we filled with such questions about what the Lord has spoken to us?  It is not just Philip, it is human nature in the flesh with the Holy Spirit in absentia.  Brethren, the Holy Spirit must not be in absentia in any of our lives. 

Jonn 6:6 (AMP) goes on to say "But He said this to prove (test) him, for He well knew what He was about to do."  How often have we failed such tests - In the name of Jesus Christ, we will not fail such tests any more. 

Our second example comes from the John 8:1-11.  In the typical delusional fashion of the scribes and Pharisees, they asked Jesus about the judgement that should be carried out on the woman caught in adultery.  The scribes and Pharisees attempted to test Jesus regarding the Law, which they operated under.  In the Old Testament, the Law was to stone any woman caught in the act of adultery.

Jesus was and still is able to put them into a state of being dumbfounded then and now and forevermore.  The accusers of the woman caught in adultery were not focusing on their misdeeds at the time of accusation.  But Jesus Christ had already searched their hearts and knew what would touch the heart of each and every one of her accusers that day. 

   9And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst.

   10When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee?

   11She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more.

The accusers thought they had a case, but in the end their case was summarily dismissed from the throne of grace and mercy.  So shall your cases of accusation by the enemy be dismissed in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (Amen)

The Lord knows what to do about your circumstance even before you became aware of the circumstance.  When you don\'t know what to do, just wait appropriately on the Lord.

Psalm 46:10 admonishes us to "Be still and know that I (GOD) is God. He will be exalted among the heathen, He will be exalted in the earth".

Remain blessed and highly favored !
