THE FIRST MIRACLE JESUS PERFORMED Part 2

1.   THE THIRD DAY AS A FIRST FRUITS AND REGENERATION

Genesis 2:11-13 shows us that on the third day God caused the earth to be fruitful. That was when the seed that would produce after its own kind was created and began its mandate to be fruitful and multiply. Beloved, Jesus Christ is the first born of the new covenant. God promised in Genesis 3:15 when He was pronouncing judgement on the serpent in the garden of Eden [a place of living voluptuously in delight according to Strong’s concordance] that He would “...Send a seed that would bruise his (serpent/satan’s) head.”  Head meaning headship, rulership, rank by implication the kingdom or system of satan in the earth and over mankind.
Here we see that Father was saying, “I will send my Son, Jesus to restore you [mankind] to the station that was usurped by satan. Not only that, but I will elevate you to a place He can never reach.” That is simply, through Jesus we become part of the unity and love that exists in the God Head as we are in Christ. Amen! Satan always coveted that position and He will never know the joy that God gives us as His children.
Remember Beloved, Jesus is no longer the baby in the manger. Neither is he lying in a tomb trapped by death. He has risen and He is The Lord of Gods armies, He is the King of kings, the perfect high priest. He is a warrior KING. And we are born after His own kind. We must understand who we are IN Christ. We are not defeated, afraid or caged. God has given us the power to occupy and rule until Jesus comes back for us in the rapture. Beloved it is not in your power or might that all this happens; it is by the POWER and working of Holy Spirit. We have no power of our own. Everything (gifting etc.) is given to us for the following purpose. Jesus said: Luke 13:32 (AMP) And He said to them, Go and tell that fox [sly and crafty, skulking and cowardly], Behold, I drive out demons and perform healings today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish (complete) My course. What does this mean? We are tools in the hand of Almighty God to destroy the dominion and kingdom of satan. We are God’s agents of change in the earth. We are to bring back the KINGDOM OF GOD on earth in all its might and power. Let Holy Spirit stir you up and ask Him to reveal how this will manifest in your daily walk.
2.   THE THIRD DAY AS A DAY OF REVELATION
Let us go back to John 2: (AMP) and the wedding. Jesus said to her, [Dear] woman, what is that to you and to Me? [What do we have in common? Leave it to Me.] My time (hour to act) has not yet come.His mother said to the servants, Whatever He says to you, do it.  And later in: 11 This, the first of His signs (miracles, wonderworks), Jesus performed in Cana of Galilee, and manifested His glory [by it He displayed His greatness and His power openly], and His disciples believed in Him [adhered to, trusted in, and relied on Him].
From these two scriptures, we can see that it was on this day that God chose to manifest and display His power and might. Where else can we see this in the word? In Exodus we see that God revealed Himself to Israel in the desert on this day (third day). Exodus 19:11 (NIV) And be ready by the third day, for the third day the Lord will come down upon Mount Sinai [in the cloud] in the sight of all the people. Exodus 19:16 (NIV) On the morning of the third day there was thunder and lightning, with a thick cloud over the mountain, and a very loud trumpet blast. Everyone in the camp trembled. If you read on you will see that this is where God gave Moshe the 10 commandments on Mount Sinai; after He descended upon it in the form of Holy Fire. Our God is a consuming fire literally and spiritually.
