Revisiting Apostle John
Before physically departing the earth plane, Jesus disclosed: “He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me, and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will MANIFEST myself to Him.” (Jn. 14:21) A bewildered Judas asked: “Lord how is it that thou wilt MANIFEST thyself unto us, and not unto the world?” Jesus clarified: “If a man love me, he will KEEP MY WORDS and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him and make our abode with him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings, and the word which ye hear is not mine but the Father’s which sent me. (Jn. 14:21-24 Cf. 1 Jn. 2:2-12; 5:2-3)
MANIFEST: In Strong’s Concordance the Word relates to #G1717 and it corresponds to the Greek word emphanēs (ἐμφανής), meaning “manifest,” “appear,” or “openly”. In the KJV New Testament, this specific word appears in only two verses, typically translated as “manifest” and “openly”. Strongs #G1718 ἐμφανίζω emphanízō, em-fan-id’-zo; from G1717 to exhibit (in person) or disclose (by words):—appear, declare (plainly), inform, (will) manifest, openly shew, signify.

Because of His finished works and sacrifice for us, our Lord Jesus Christ has been and continues to manifest Himself and bless us in precisely the way He said He would through His Word (Commands) and the operations of the Holy Spirit. (Jn. 14:26; 16:13) It bears noting too that: modern day Scribes, Pharisees, Lawyers and Cessationists who lead others to believe that the Lord does not openly reveal Himself through the Holy Spirit who abodes IN the FATHER’S Kingdom and IN the faithful (Lk.17:21), would do well to repent and consider Jesus’ strong Words on the subject:
But woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for YE SHUT UP THE KINGDOM OF HEAVEN AGAINST MEN; for ye neither go in yourselves, neither suffer ye them that are entering to go in. (Mat. 22:13)
Woe unto you, lawyers! for YE HAVE TAKEN AWAY THE KEY OF KNOWLEDGE: ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered. (Lk. 11:52)
Words of Knowledge to the Scribes, Pharisees, et al. BELIEVE IT! I am also hearing Words of Confirmation and that this message is a RIGHT NOW Word.
Blessed are they that do his commandments ( Strongs #G1785 An injunction, an order, a command, or an authoritative prescription. It points to an authoritative charge or requirement) that they may have right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. (Rev. 22:14)
I am the door: by me if any man enter in, he shall be saved, and SHALL GO IN AND OUT AND FIND PASTURE. (In and through Jesus, Believers are blessed with salvation, guidance, security, freedom and the spiritual provision and nourishment of His Word and Spirit.) (Jn. 10:9)
Keep the Faith. We are living in amazing days of revelation and of preparation. Praise the Lord and thank you Jesus.
