I dreamt I saw Jesus and he was pregnant, with the world. “Pregnant with the world?” I thought, “how could this be?” I saw him in the garden of Gethsemane, sweating drops of blood on his head, but yet the crown of thorns wasn’t on his head, Luke 22:44. It seemed like Jesus was between then and future of what will be. In the garden of Gethsemane we understood Jesus was crying because going to the cross was terrifying and he was exhibiting emotions with fear, especially when he asked the father, “ O My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me, nevertheless, not as I will, but as Thou wilt” Matthew 26:39. But like a woman in labour giving birth, he was calling out to God for the relief of the pain, the contractions was so strong. He couldn’t for the love of God get the disciples to stand strong with him in that moment. Every time he left them and came back they were fast asleep. He was willing to push, but he needed them to help him like a coach to breathe (prayer) at each contraction. Prayer became the breath needed to take, then push. The pushing is the ability to stand and not fall into temptation. The baby have to help the mother by moving down the birth canal with every push. If the baby refused to be moved towards the birthing canal to the light, it would get stuck and need cesarean, causing the mother to have months of pain in stead of a moment of pain.
Matthew 26:38-47 Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me. Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “ Couldn’t you men keep watch with me for one hour?” Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the flesh is weak.” He went away a second time and prayed. When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. He left to pray a third time. Then came Jesus to his disciples and said to them, “sleep on now, and take your rest, the hour is at hand and the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us be going, behold, he is at hand that doth betrayed me…
It was never about Jesus, but about the world that God so loved. Jesus tears was the hopelessness of man to stand. It was Jesus pleading for us to stand and help ourselves. The heaviness of the disciples eyes showed we were unable to fight the power of temptation. Jesus was in the garden of Gethsemane like being in Eden, this time rectifying sin within us(man). This is were Grace was birth for us. The connection between Jesus and the disciples was ever so powerful. He was pulling their weaknesses onto himself to distribute his strength into them in the garden and they couldn’t receive it. Remember in Matthew 10:1-42 (NIV) Jesus called his twelve disciples to him and gave them authority to drive out impure spirits and to heal every disease and sickness…And even then the disciples had problems in fulfilling this duty. In Matthew 17:14-20 There was a man who son had that suffers with seizures and often falls into fire or water. He’d brought his son to the disciples and they could heal him. So he brought him to Jesus to heal him and Jesus response was, “you unbelieving and perverse generation, how long shall I stay with you? How long shall I put up with you? Bring the boy here to me. Jesus rebuked the demon, and it came out of the boy and he was healed. When the disciples came to Jesus privately and asked why they couldn’t drive out the demon? He replied, because they have so little faith. If they have faith as small as a mustered seed, they can say to a mountain move and it will. Nothing will be impossible.
Jesus implanted the wisdom, knowledge and understanding of the kingdom of God to his disciples by his life death and resurrection. But they kept on coming up short. Man has got a long way to go to receive the victory over sin. We keep on waiting for Jesus to come again, but it’s up to us with all that we know about Jesus, to make our crooked ways straight. In the renewal of our minds we could have dominion over our weaknesses (sin). As Jesus said, we must rebuke the devil and he shall flee. We’ve been given authority and power through fasting, praying, the Holy Spirit and the name of Jesus. We must acknowledge the kingdom has come and through faith it is established throughout the world. How well learnt are we? Through the reading of the biblical lessons and the revealing of the Holy Spirit. “Come on, we got this, all we have to do breath (pray) and push (stand) with Jesus! It’s not hard, with understanding the spirit of Jesus has never left the earth. After two thousand years it is by faith we call on the name of Jesus whom we have yet to see, but still believe. All we are really looking for is the physical manifestation of his being. John 4:24 “ God is Spirit, and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth!”
