Amazing Faith

8 Replies

So Jesus went with them. He was not far from the house when the centurion sent friends to say to him: “Lord, don’t trouble yourself, for I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. That is why I did not even consider myself worthy to come to you. But say the word, and my servant will be healed. Luke 7:6-7

What can we learn from the centurion? Here he is being honest with Jesus, he knows Jesus can heal his servant but doesn’t feel worthy to even approach Jesus. Do we feel like the centurion or do we feel like God owes us?

What we do learn is that we should have faith and know that God can do all things, but we should also be humble and not expect that its his will to do as we request.

When Jesus heard this, he was amazed at him, and turning to the crowd following him, he said, “I tell you, I have not found such great faith even in Israel.” Luke 7:9

A centurion is a commander of the Roman army, he had great power and authority just as he expressed to Jesus. But he also showed that he believed Jesus has greater power and authority than him.

So when Jesus heard that faith coming from a centurion, he was amazed. Herse a man whose job is to enslave the Jews, but this man recognizes that Jesus is the Messiah.

Then the men who had been sent returned to the house and found the servant well. Luke 7:10

The centurion knew that Jesus didn’t need to even see his servant to heal him, and he was correct. Do we understand this also? We can pray for others and don’t have to be with them for them to be healed. God is everywhere, the Holy Spirit lives inside us all, amaze Jesus with your faith also Amen

The Vine Part 2

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing. John 15:5

Jesus teaches us the oneness we have with him, I think the word “adbideth” is interesting here. When you look up the meaning for that word it states “the archaic third person singular present tense suffix” sounds like the description of the Trinity.

So when we stay faithful to God and follow his will, the Holy Spirit abides in us and helps us to create good fruit. Without the power of God, we can do nothing !

If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and men gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. John 15:6

Jesus teaches us another revelation of hell, and he says anyone that doesn’t bear good fruit is cast into the fire. When we seek to do our own will, we live a destructive life, therefor our lives become meaningless full of sin and selfishness

If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will, and it shall be done unto you. John 15:7

When we are fully connected to God through the Holy Spirit and follow his words, we will produce “good fruit” (Galatians 5:22-23) And when we seek to do the will of God, he will bless us. For it pleases The Father to give to his children

Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. John 15:8

When we bear “good fruit” it glories God and we truly become disciples of Christ. The key is to stay connected to God  through the Vine of Jesus Christ Amen

Ancient of Days

I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days(God) did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. Daniel 7:9

The term “Ancient of Days” was used by Daniel to describe God. Why because God is everlasting. The vison he sees is clearly God sitting on the throne as described in Revelations 1:14-15

However I suggest you clearly read Daniel 7:9 and Revelations 1:14 and notice there descriptions are identical further proving the Trinity between God the Father and Son Jesus Christ

A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Daniel 7:10

Another seen that is clearly describe in Revelations 5:11, as thousands of Angels surround God on his throne. And the book being opened clearly is the Book of Life (Revelations 20:15)

Daniels vision is clearly of judgement day when we will all stand before our Lord Jesus and account for our lives.

I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast (Satan) was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame. Daniel 7:11

The beast is Satan, and this event is when Jesus destroys Satan and cast him into Hell. This event is also described in Revelations 19:20

As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. Daniel 7:12

The Kingdom of Satan will be destroyed and all power that Satan and his followers have right now will be gone.

I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man(Jesus) came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days (God), and they brought him near before him. Daniel 7:13

The same even as clearly described in Matthew 24:30, as Jesus is The Son of Man, he is the Messiah and giving all authority by God his Father.

And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed. Daniel 7:14

Jesus is King of King and Lord of Lords (Revelations 19:16) he will rule all nations, governments will rest on his shoulders (Isaiah 9:6) He will rule with a rod of iron (Revelations 2:27) and Gods kingdom will rule forever(Hebrews 1:8) in Jesus Name Amen

Only Way To Heaven

5 Replies

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. John 14:6

 

A few years ago Oprah Winfrey said on her show that all religions lead to the same God and take you to heaven. This is not only wrong but is totally Anti Christ.  Jesus clearly told us he is the only way to God and to eternal life.

So you might ask why? If a religion or beliefs are “good” people why is Jesus the only way to Heaven? Very simply nobody else redeemed us except Jesus thru his sacrifice on the cross.

(Romans 3:23) “For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;”

 

To understand what Jesus did for us on the cross we first need to understand the “Curse of Adam”. When Adam and Eve choose to eat from the “forbidden fruit” they cursed us all. We are all born sinners and mortal. The only way to salvation and eternal life is thru Jesus.

Any other religion or prophet can’t redeem you from your sins. Without being born again thru Christ you are unworthy to stand before God and enter the Kingdom of Heaven.

(1 John 1:8) “If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.”

 

Many will say they are “good” people and don’t need Jesus. But not only are they deceiving themselves, they are throwing there lives away. Nobody except Jesus has ever walked the Earth and not sinned.
The problem with sin is it’s an abomination of God and didn’t come from God. Therefor sin will not be acceptable in Heaven, the only way to be redeemed is thru the blood of Jesus Christ.

(1 John 2:22) “Who is a liar but he that denieth that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denieth the Father and the Son.”

 

Anyone who denies Jesus as the Messiah is an Anti Christ. Even though there will be one great Anti Christ one day, there are many among us today. But know this anyone who denies Jesus also denies God. Therefor there religion or beliefs are Satanic for they don’t come from God.

Jesus is the only way to God and Heaven, any other way is a road to hell. Don’t listen to anyone who denies Jesus as Christ. Only thru the Son will you get to the Father in Jesus name Amen

All Things Are Possible

But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. Matthew 19:26

The other night I was watching a Greys Anatomy episode with my wife, where the couple found out there baby was going to be born with birth defects and were advised to induce labor and let the baby die prematurely.

The mother was a devout Christian her entire life and believed God might be able to save her child, while her husband was an Atheist and believed the child’s life was doomed.

Eventually the mother gave in to everyone’s advice and prematurely induced her labor eventually resulting in the baby’s death.  Honestly it was a powerful episode and can’t help but make you think about the afterlife whether you believe in God or not.

(Matthew 17:20)” And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you”

The Atheist father said he did believe in miracles and did see some happen, but they both believed this situation would be too much for God.

Makes me think, at what point do we limit God ourselves? Jesus said that “All things are possible” do we really believe that? At what point do we say that’s impossible this can’t be done?

This is why Jesus said if we have faith as small as a Mustard seed we can move mountains. Faith is really more difficult than we perceive. We can say we have faith, but when the time comes and were at the edge do we really have it? Are we really willing to let go all control and hand it over to God?

(John 11:43)” And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.”

Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, and unthinkable event that was witnessed by many people, our human minds try to comprehend this, how can this happen? The reality is just need to trust in God and not lean on our own understandings.

Before Jesus raised Lazarus he asked Martha “And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this?” and she replied “She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”

Her faith was confirmed therefor she received God’s blessing, see we can’t activate God’s miracles without having faith. Even though it may seem impossible, NOTHING is impossible for God, in Jesus name Amen

Family of God

For whosoever shall do the will of my Father which is in heaven, the same is my brother, and sister, and mother. Matthew 12:50

 

With all the racism and division in the world, we need to understand we are all one family thru Jesus Christ. If you hate your neighbor, you hate your brother. We need to learn to love each other as Jesus loved us.

No longer are you condemned to this world but are entitled as a Citizen of Heaven to live in Victory thru Jesus. Doesn’t matter what faults or curses your Earthly family may have endured, that has all passed away and you are now a New Creature thru Jesus Christ

(Galatians 3:28) “There is neither Jew nor Greek, there is neither bond nor free, there is neither male nor female: for ye are all one in Christ Jesus.”

 

With the new covenant established by Jesus we are now part of the “Family of God”. Nor Jew Nor Greek, it doesn’t matter, give yourself to Jesus and your now part of the same family of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.

We were all made in the image of God and thru the blood of Jesus we are all the Children of God. There is nothing on this Earth that can separate us from God anymore once you established the convenant of being reborn.

(John 1:12) “Yet to all who did receive him, to those who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God “

 

Once you accept Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour you are anointed a Child of God. You are the creation of the Almighty Yahweh who also created the Heavens and Earth and spun the stars and galaxies in place.

The anointing of the blood of Jesus restores us all. Satan no longer has a hold on you no more, the chains have been broken, amazing grace how sweet the sound

(Romans 8:14) “For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God.”

 

Once you are filled with the Holy Spirit you are never the same, the blind can see the deaf can hear. Truth is revealed to us all and then we understand we are all one thru Christ we are all the Children of God

Accept Jesus are your Lord and Saviour become filled with the Holy Spirit and you will see and become a Child of the Most High God in Jesus name Amen
