Mark 4:39 And He Said Peace Be Still

Part 1

Mar 4:35 ASV - And on that day, when even was come, he saith unto them, Let us go over unto the other side.
Mar 4:36 ASV - And leaving the multitude, they take him with them, even as he was, in the boat. And other boats were with him.
Mar 4:37 ASV - And there ariseth a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the boat, insomuch that the boat was now filling.
Mar 4:38 ASV - And he himself was in the stern, asleep on the cushion: and they awake him, and say unto him, Teacher, carest thou not that we perish?
Mar 4:39 ASV - And he awoke, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
Mar 4:40 ASV - And he said unto them, Why are ye fearful? have ye not yet faith?
Mar 4:41 ASV - And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, Who then is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?   Every thing Jesus did on this earth was for a sign an example to the believers .  The old testament calls him the pattern son ,  a pattern is something we follow for direction in this life .   Because the Jews did not know him in the flesh seeing only in the letter of the law they obeyed and not the spirit of God.   They refused the Christ and his words ,  Jesus said if another man comes in his own name him you will receive I come in my fathers name and you do not believe me.         Jhn 5:43 ASV - I am come in my Father's name, and ye receive me not: if another shall come in his own name, him ye will receive.
Jhn 5:44 ASV - How can ye believe, who receive glory one of another, and the glory that cometh from the only God ye seek not?
Jhn 5:45 ASV - Think not that I will accuse you to the Father: there is one that accuseth you, even Moses, on whom ye have set your hope.
Jhn 5:46 ASV - For if ye believed Moses, ye would believe me; for he wrote of me.
Jhn 5:47 ASV - But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?
Only by Gods spirit can a man know and see God at work in his life ,  to see things in the flesh only reaps flesh to see things in his spirit brings life everlasting .
   AMP  2Cor 3 3 Are we starting to commend ourselves again? Or do we need, like some [false teachers], letters of recommendation to you or from you? [No!] 2 You are our letter [of recommendation], written in our hearts, recognized and read by everyone. 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, delivered by us, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.    6 He has qualified us [making us sufficient] as ministers of a new covenant [of salvation through Christ], not of the letter [of a written code] but of the Spirit; for the letter [of the Law] kills [by revealing sin and demanding obedience], but the Spirit gives life.   Gods children live a spiritual life a life of faith believing all things freely given to us.     1Co 2:10 ASV - But unto us God revealed them through the Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God.
1Co 2:11 ASV - For who among men knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of the man, which is in him? even so the things of God none knoweth, save the Spirit of God.
1Co 2:12 ASV - But we received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is from God; that we might know the things that were freely given to us of God.
1Co 2:13 ASV - Which things also we speak, not in words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Spirit teacheth; combining spiritual things with spiritual words.
1Co 2:14 ASV - Now the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him; and he cannot know them, because they are spiritually judged.
1Co 2:16 ASV - For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he should instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.       There must be a filling up of Gods spirit in you , a true  manifestation of Gods presence in your life .  Not by works of righteousness we have done but according to his mercy he has saved us .   Doing all things in the name of Jesus
Luk 24:44 ASV - And he said unto them, These are my words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must needs be fulfilled, which are written in the law of Moses, and the prophets, and the psalms, concerning me.
Luk 24:49 ASV - And behold, I send forth the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city, until ye be clothed with power from on high.     We put on that robe of righteousness the garments of salvation .    AMP   Isaiah 61;10-11   I will rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has covered me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom puts on a turban,  
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels .    
 The jewels are the knowledge and understanding of the righteousness it speaks of the jewels being a  vessel .        1Co 6:19 ASV - Or know ye not that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit which is in you, which ye have from God? and ye are not your own;
1Co 6:20 ASV - for ye were bought with a price: glorify God therefore in your body.

AMP   Isaiah 61;10-11   I will rejoice greatly in the Lord,
My soul will exult in my God;
For He has clothed me with garments of salvation,
He has covered me with a robe of righteousness,
As a bridegroom puts on a turban,  
And as a bride adorns herself with her jewels .    
11  For as the earth brings forth its sprouts,
And as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
So the Lord God will [most certainly] cause righteousness and justice and praise
To spring up before all the nations [through the power of His word].    
Jesus was crowned with a crown of thorns and the thorns are a symbol of our sinful nature  .   KJV says he will be dressed with a garland , such as an olive branch for a crown .  Just as to day in as the winner of race receives the victors crown of olive branches so to will Jesus have his victors crown.
 And his bride will be adorned with her Jewels ,   Jewels being according to scripture         
 Rev 19:7 ASV - Let us rejoice and be exceeding glad, and let us give the glory unto him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
Rev 19:8 ASV - And it was given unto her that she should array herself in fine linen, bright and pure: for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.    I am reminded of the marriage supper of the masters son .      Mat 22:11 ASV - But when the king came in to behold the guests, he saw there a man who had not on a wedding-garment:  
Mat 22:12 ASV - and he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding-garment? And he was speechless.    This corruptible must put on the incorruptible ,  Rom 8:13 ASV - for if ye live after the flesh, ye must die; but if by the Spirit ye put to death the deeds of the body, ye shall live.  Jesus said he was the way the truth and the life , 1Jo 3:1 ASV - Behold what manner of love the Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called children of God; and such we are. For this cause the world knoweth us not, because it knew him not.
1Jo 3:2 ASV - Beloved, now are we children of God, and it is not yet made manifest what we shall be. We know that, if he shall be manifested, we shall be like him; for we shall see him even as he is Manifested Greek: phaneroo

Appear, Appearing:
akin to No. 1, signifies, in the Active Voice, "to manifest;" in the Passive Voice, "to be manifested;" so, regularly, in the RV, instead of "to appear." See 2Cr 7:12; Col 3:4; Hbr 9:26; 1Pe 5:4; 1Jo 2:28; 3:2; Rev 3:18. To be manifested, in the Scriptural sense of the word, is more than to "appear." A person may "appear" in a false guise or without a disclosure of what he truly is; to be manifested is to be revealed in one's true character; this is especially the meaning of phaneroo, see, e.g., Jhn 3:21; 1Cr 4:5; 2Cr 5:10, 11; Eph 5:13. 

 Jhn 1:9 ASV - There was the true light, even the light which lighteth every man, coming into the world.

Rev 19:9 ASV - And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they that are bidden to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are true words of God.

Jhn 16:7 ASV - Nevertheless I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I go, I will send him unto you.
Jhn 16:8 ASV - And he, when he is come, will convict the world in respect of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment:    The word says a natural man cannot understand the spiritual things of God , so we must be filled with Gods spirit to be able to hear him and understand him when he speaks.   Jesus said my sheep know me and hear my voice ,        Jhn 10:27 ASV - My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me:    We hear the voice of Gods spirit as it abides with us.   To be convicted of our sin is to be filled with Godly sorrow for our sins and that Godly sorrow brings repentance not regretted of we embrace his nature and his righteousness and walk in his truth.    Sin and righteousness and judgement  it says that the spirit will convict the world or mankind to walk in holiness and sanctification with out which no man shall see God.   Heb 12:14 ASV - Follow after peace with all men, and the sanctification without which no man shall see the Lord:
Jhn 10:28 ASV - and I give unto them eternal life; and they shall never perish, and no one shall snatch them out of my hand.
Jhn 16:13 ASV - Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into all the truth: for he shall not speak from himself; but what things soever he shall hear, these shall he speak: and he shall declare unto you the things that are to come.
Act 19:1 ASV - And it came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth, Paul having passed through the upper country came to Ephesus, and found certain disciples:
Act 19:2 ASV - and he said unto them, Did ye receive the Holy Spirit when ye believed? And they said unto him, Nay, we did not so much as hear whether the Holy Spirit was given.
Act 19:3 ASV - And he said, Into what then were ye baptized? And they said, Into John's baptism.
Act 19:4 ASV - And Paul said, John baptized with the baptism of repentance, saying unto the people that they should believe on him that should come after him, that is, on Jesus.
Act 19:5 ASV - And when they heard this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.
Act 19:6 ASV - And when Paul had laid his hands upon them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they spake with tongues, and prophesied.
Act 19:7 ASV - And they were in all about twelve men.

Amo 3:1 ASV - Hear this word that Jehovah hath spoken against you, O children of Israel, against the whole family which I brought up out of the land of Egypt, saying,
Amo 3:2 ASV - You only have I known of all the families of the earth: therefore I will visit upon you all your iniquities.
Amo 3:3 ASV - Shall two walk together, except they have agreed?    God is reminding the children of his covenant and how he demands obedience to his word . We walk with Christ by agreement to his words and obeying his word.  
This blog is intended to bring about the understanding of the power of the Name of Jesus given to his church the church that the gates of hell shall not prevail against.   Gates are intended for two things , to keep something out or to keep something in.   Now this verse explains that the gates we war against are from hell its self.  Jesus said behold I give you power over all the power of satan .   Luk 10:18 ASV - And he said unto them, I beheld Satan fallen as lightning from heaven.   Gods judgement upon evil ,  and his promises of power over the evil around us
