You keep his words,
and when you keep someone’s words,
you show to that person,
when you keep the Lord’s words,
you show to the Lord that you’re true to him,
because it’ll cost you something to keep
the word of the Lord, you really have to
love him to do that. You really have to
love him to do that.

John 14 verse 23 John 14 verse 23 jesus
said to him well let’s start at verse 22
how is it a question from Judas not the
one who betrayed in but another Judas
how is it that you will let yourself be
seen clearly by us and not by the world
how is it
I sometimes wonder I just wandered
yesterday doesn’t anybody read how is it
Lord that you will let yourself be seen
clearly by us and not by the world jesus
said to him in answer if anyone has love
for me he will keep my words and he will
be dear to my father and we will come to
him and make our living place with him
be always there that person will always
be aware of the presence of the Lord
that’s why we stress here keep the Word
of God not the tradition not even the
tradition of those who say they know God
but keep the Word of God I will keep any
tradition that is in accordance with the
word in accordance with all of the word
not a piece of the word
for I have love for Jesus and I keep his
words and his words are everywhere in
Scripture
blessed be our Lord blessed be your
Lord so I pray I pray that you may have
love for Jesus and keep his word not
just love by lip service but by actions
by thoughts by everything you do even
when you do something wrong or make a
mistake that you may keep his word and
go directly to him and ask for
forgiveness if you have love for the
Lord keep his words which start by
knowing his words right blessed be your
Lord and I pray that the Lord may
empower you may call you may strengthen
you may lift you up so that you may love
him and keep his word be not only a
hearer of the word but a doer of the
word blessed be our Lord for that is
his word over your life if you see that
you love the Lord blessed be our Lord

you to be with me so that you may be
where I am and you all have knowledge of
where I am going and of the way to it
Thomas said Lord we have no knowledge of
where you are going how may we have
knowledge of the way we have no idea
Lord Jesus said to him I am the true and
living way no one comes to the Father
but by me
if you had knowledge of me you would
have knowledge of my father if you know
Jesus you know God the spirit you have
knowledge of him now and have seen him
if you have seen Jesus you have seen God
the spirit the word was gone verse 8
Philip said to him Lord let us see the
father and we have need of nothing more

with you all this time and still you
have no knowledge of me he who has seen
me has seen the father

say to you he who puts his faith in me
will do the very works which I do and he
will do greater things than these

have glory in the son
if you make any request to me in my name
I will do it interesting
verse 13 and 14 whatever requests you
make in my name that I will do verse 12
he who puts his faith in me will do the
very works which I do and he will do
greater things than these because I am
going to my father and whatever requests

that the father may have glory in the
son if you make any requests to me in my
name I will do it
Lord Jesus my request to you my request
to you Lord is that all those who are
under the power of your voice may be
filled to overflowing with love for you

with love for you Lord and be able to
keep your words Lord thank you lord

verse 15 if you have love for me you
will keep my laws and I will make prayer
to the Father and He will give another
helper he will give you another helper
to be with you forever
the spirit of true knowledge the spirit
of true knowledge that spirit the world
is not able to take to its heart not
able to love because it sees him not and
has no knowledge of him
you have knowledge of him because he is
ever with you and will be in you in you
in you I will not let you be without a
friend I am coming to you the way that
Jesus speaks is interesting because he
says you will have a new helper the Holy
Ghost the father will send you a new
helper you will not be without a helper
and then he says I am coming to you I
will not let you be without a friend I
am coming to you blessed be our Lord
mighty God father forever

peace verse 19 a little a little time
longer and the world will see me no more
the world will not be able to see me but
you will seem those who see in the flesh
and think of everything as a worldly
thing will see Jesus no more but you who
see in the spirit you will see me and
you will be living because I am living
we live by the grace of God all those
who are in the spirit live by the grace
of God by his knowledge by his wisdom by
his works by His grace and mercy we
don’t live
according to the rules of the world we
live according to God because he is
alive blessed your Lord at that time
John 14 verse 20 at that time it will be
clear to you that I am in my father and
you are in me and I in you he who has my
laws and keeps them he it is who has
love for me it’s not enough to just say
look how things have turned around it’s
not enough to just say I love Jesus I
love Jesus the Lord is clear when he
says he who has my laws and keeps them
it is necessary for you to know his word
and keep it he it is who has love for me
that is the measure that is the litmus
test do you know his laws do you keep
them dan the Lord says you are the one
who has love for me and he who has love
for me will be loved by my father and I
will have love for him and will let
myself be seen clearly clearly by Judas
not Iscariot said to him how is it that
you will let yourself be seen clearly by
us and not by the world jesus said to
him an answer if anyone has love for me
he will keep my words
and he will be there to my father and we
will come to him and make our living
place with him blessed be our Lord
thank you lord thank you for all those
who have your word and keep it thank you
for all those who have proven their love
to you lord thank you Lord in Jesus name
Amen
verse 24 he who has no love for me does
not keep my words and the word which you
are hearing is not my word but the
father’s is who sent me I have said all
this to you while I am still with you so
that you may have the word and keep the
word and love Jesus but the helper the
Holy Spirit whom the father will send in
my name will be your teacher in all
things and will put you in mind of
everything I have said to you he will
teach you what it truly means does not
the words say and he will teach us of
his way and the word is referring to God
Almighty I come to you
he will teach us of his way and a law
his word shall go forth out of Zion and
a word of the Lord from Jerusalem from
that place of peace that’s just we all
know it right
we all know it we all know it
Micah 4 verse 2 Micah 4 verse 2 and a
number of nations will go and say come
and let us go up to the mountain of the
Lord and to the house of the God of
Jacob and he will give us knowledge of
his ways and we will be guided by his
word for from Zion the law will go out
and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem
know the word keep the word show your
love to the Lord
be guided by his word blessed your Lord
blessed your Lord may peace be with you
my peace I give to you I give it not as
the world gives the Lord gives peace by
the sword the sword that is in his mouth
by his word the world gives peace by
account
fit of the true thing by a sword of
metal by a sword of metal may peace be
with you my peace I give to you I give
it not as the world gives let not your
heart be troubled
let it be without fear without fear for
fear is not of God keep in mind how I
said to you I go away and come to you
again if you had love for me you would
be glad because I am going to the Father
for the father is greater than I the
Spirit is greater than the image in the
flesh yet they are one and now I have
given you word of it before it comes so
that when it comes you may have fate
after this I will not say much to you
because the ruler of this world comes
and he has no power over me but he comes
so that the world may see that I have
love for the father and that I am doing
as I am ordered by the father get up and
let us go let us go
blessed be O Lord in Jesus mighty name I
pray I pray that you may go up to that
mountain the house of the Lord
I pray that you may know that you are
the house of the Lord that you may take
his
word as he had said it many times in
many ways and make it your word and keep
his word keep his laws keep his word and
show in spirit
not just as a facade
not just with lip service but in spirit
that you love the Lord for then he will
always be with you always
in good and bad in much in need he will
always be with you when you are among
many when you’re alone he will always be
with you
I pray his blessing upon you to receive
His Word and to keep it and to do it to
be a doer of the word so that he might
abide with you might be with you always
in Jesus mighty name amen
blessed be our Lord
