Share Jesus
“But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes upon you. And you will be my witnesses, telling people about me everywhere…” Acts 1:8
As Christians, it is so important for us to tell other people about Jesus. When I got saved, I could not keep it in. I preached to all my friends and they saw that I was sincerely concerned for their eternity. I am not saying that you should be obnoxious but just open your mouth and tell people who are close to you but far from God, about Jesus. The question is, do you want them to go to hell?
Infinitely Good
“I would have despaired unless I had believed that I would see the goodness of the Lord… Be strong, and let your heart take courage; Wait for the Lord.” Psalm 27:13-14 [NAS, emphasis added]
Problems attempt to make us perplexed until we are depressed. #2: When Your Situation Looks DEPRESSING, Think About The Goodness of God. Depression is a signal that our focus is on the wrong things. When discouragement and depression want to set in, it is proof that I have been focusing on the wrong things. Personally, I thank God for the grace to be alert enough to spot traces of discouragement or depression. And as soon as I do, I think clearly about what I have Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life II
“When they came to the oasis of Marah, the water was too bitter to drink… So Moses cried out to the Lord for help, and the Lord showed him a piece of wood. Moses threw it into the water, and this made the water good to drink…” Ex.15:23&25.
You need to understand that moving from death to life is not limited only to physical death and physical life. Moving from death to life could be from scarcity to abundance. For some of us, the summation of our financial situation or even our lives has been scarcity. Everything you have had has been scarce. Even when the teachers want to give you grades, they make sure it is scarce. Today, in the Name of Jesus, you Read the rest of this entry
Death To Life I
“Son of man, these bones are the entire community of Israel. They keep saying, “Our bones are dry now, picked clean by scavengers. All hope is gone. Our nation is lost.” Eze.37:11 [Voice, emphasis added]
Many times, we find ourselves in situations that can best be described as a dry bone situation. Some of us are far gone in that spectrum as it were. The situation is dry, dead, forgotten, and scattered. On the other side is the situation that is filled with life and abundance. And everyone is somewhere on this spectrum. That situation you are faced Read the rest of this entry
The Way
“Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me” Jn.14:6
If God has called you to do something and you do not do it, God will do everything possible to bring you to your knees. Ask Jonah. I can tell you stories, even my own stories but I have chosen to go the easy way. As long as God sends me, I will do it. Why? It is because God does not change His mind. He is not making things up as we go. He has already said this is what you will do and that is what you will do. You are most secured in the center of God’s will for your life. You do not choose many things when it comes to God. Thinking you have choices is in itself a waste of time. Read the rest of this entry
Believe!
“The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Luke 24:5
One of the things that Jesus requires from you is for you to believe in Him. When it was time for Jesus to be baptized and John the Baptist saw Him approaching, John stopped what he was doing and said “behold the Lamb of God’. John did not say behold the Lamb of God that came to explain the sins of the world. The foundation of our faith is not in reason. The foundation of our faith is in believing. The foundation of our faith is not in understanding. You need to understand but the foundation of our faith is not in understanding. The foundation of our faith is in Read the rest of this entry
The Power II
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11
The Resurrection Power gives you and I power to live. And with the power to live comes the power to love. That power that God has given you is the power to love. “And this hope will not lead to disappointment. For we know how dearly God loves us, because he has given us the Holy Spirit to fill our hearts with his love” Rom.5:5 [emphasis added]. Everyone that has experienced the Resurrection Power has their hearts filled with love, not hate, Read the rest of this entry
Risen!
“The women were terrified and bowed with their faces to the ground. Then the men asked, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” Luke 24:5
“Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” This is such an amazing statement. These women meant well; they did not mean to insult Jesus. I have news for you today. Mark today’s date in your diary. There are well meaning people that will come and look for you in the grave but they will discover that the tomb is empty. They will discover that God has resurrected you from the place they kept you. And if God will open their eyes to see, the angels will say to them, “Why are you looking among the dead for someone who is alive?” They are so sure that they Read the rest of this entry
The Reason
“The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you. And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you” Rom.8:11 [emphasis added]
Jesus is coming again! For those of us that have our faith in Jesus, this is what keeps us going. The fact that Jesus is coming again and this physical body will be changed. I do not know about you but I want to be raptured. I want to experience rapture. I want to be alive so that when the trumpet sounds, I will know how it feels to just… That would be awesome! Paul says, “If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable” 1 Cor.15:19. In Read the rest of this entry
The Intersection
“But if I am casting out demons by the power of God, then the Kingdom of God has arrived among you.” Luke 11:20 [emphasis added]
Jesus performed three main types [categories] of miracles. The first category is miracles that affect people. Jesus healed the sick, Jesus cast out demons, and raised the dead. The second category is miracles that control nature. Jesus walked on water, commanded the wind to be still and the storm was stilled. The third category is miracles that controlled material things. Jesus paid His tax with a Read the rest of this entry
