In the great commission [Matthew 28:20] Jesus promised His disciples, “Lo, I AM “WITH” you alway, even unto the end of the world.” [cf John 14:17]
And, being assembled together with them, Jesus commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise (of the Spirit; spoken of by John the Baptist). [Acts 1:4-5; Matt 3:11]
Those that He was “IN,” the Spirit came “UPON;” to anoint, (to smear with oil); to bring us into an abiding supernatural relationship ...that we might be partakers of the divine nature. [Pastor; Acts 1:8; 2 Peter 1:4/implied]
note. This was the Father's idea, which Jesus came to facilitate/fulfill/bring to pass. [Pastor]
ThenSingsMySoul:
I WILL BE “WITH” YOU
I'LL BE BY YOUR SIDE,
YOUR CRY FOR DELIVERANCE
WILL NOT BE DENIED.
I'LL FIGHT THE BATTLE
THAT EVIL MIGHT WAGE,
I WILL BE “WITH” YOU, I WILL BE “WITH” YOU
TIL THE END OF THE AGE.
