Hidden Realities of Sent Technology
In a previous post, we looked at the principal considerations and applied principles of standing in the grace of a sent anointing. On this occasion, we unearth the hidden realities of Sent Technology found in John 17 – the Sender’s intent and expectations of those Sent.
Faithfully keeping the word delivered and entrusted us…
“I have manifested Your name to the men whom You have given Me out of the world. They were Yours, You gave them to Me, and they have kept Your word.” John 17:6 NKJV
A clear recognition of location and source of the sending…
“Now they have known that all things which You have given Me are from You. For I have given to them the words which You have given Me; and they have received them, and have known surely that I came forth from You; and they have believed that You sent Me.” John 17:7-8 NKJV
The Sender is validated in the correct attitude and response of those sent…
“And all Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them. Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through Your name those whom You have given Me, that they may be one as We are.” John 17:10-11 NKJV
The intent to experience no resource leakage and lost of the targeted sending…
“While I was with them in the world, I kept them in Your name. Those whom You gave Me I have kept; and none of them is lost except the son of perdition, that the Scripture might be fulfilled.” John 17:12 NKJV
Keeping our focus and gaze constantly aligned with heaven’s not earth’s agenda as default alertness and conscious-awareness…
“But now I come to You, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have My joy fulfilled in themselves. I have given them Your word; and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world, but that You should keep them from the evil one. They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world.” John 17:13-16 NKJV
Let truth both applied and proclaimed be a prime motivation and purpose of our desire to be sent…
“Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth. As You sent Me into the world, I also have sent them into the world. And for their sakes I sanctify Myself, that they also may be sanctified by the truth.” John 17:17-19 NKJV
The imperative and importance of sending are equal to and equalized with the impact of sending…
“I do not pray for these alone, but also for those who will believe in Me through their word; that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me. And the glory which You gave Me I have given them, that they may be one just as We are one: I in them, and You in Me; that they may be made perfect in one, and that the world may know that You have sent Me, and have loved them as You have loved Me.” John 17:20-23 NKJV
Interfacing with the intimacy and proximity streams of sending outcomes…
“Father, I desire that they also whom You gave Me may be with Me where I am, that they may behold My glory which You have given Me; for You loved Me before the foundation of the world. O righteous Father! The world has not known You, but I have known You; and these have known that You sent Me. And I have declared to them Your name, and will declare it, that the love with which You loved Me may be in them, and I in them.” John 17:24-26 NKJV
