The Pharisees also with the Sadducees came, and tempting desired him that he would shew them a sign from heaven. Matthew 16:1

When is God ever going to be enough for us? The religious leaders that lived during that time with Jesus continually rejected him even though he showed them many miracles before. Why is that? Because they never wanted to accept Jesus because then there religion would be pointless.

Many atheists claim they reject God because of religion, but Jesus is not a religion. Jesus is the Living Word of God in the flesh. You can’t blame your rejection on God due to manmade rituals and rules.

He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red. And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times? Matthew 16:2-3

Jesus is saying God could show you a sign but you’re going to translate it to fit your agenda anyway. The fact is God doesn’t have to prove anything to us, he is the creator of all things. The evidence is clearly seen all around us, its up to us change our ways.

A wicked and adulterous generation seeketh after a sign; and there shall no sign be given unto it, but the sign of the prophet Jonas. And he left them, and departed. Matthew 16:4

Are we a wicked and adulterous generation? We legalize abortion and gay marriage. Our public schools and colleges teach kids God doesn’t even exist. I would say we are an evil generation, and even though we don’t deserve it Jesus died for us anyway. If your looking for a sign its Jesus Christ, he is the only truth , life , and way Amen

Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: Matthew 7:24

What are you building your house on today? What do you put your trust and hopes in? Is your foundation solid today? Would you be able to withstand a storm of life right now?

When you put your trust in God and live by his word, your building your life on The Rock. You have hope, you have purpose, and most importantly you have victory because Jesus has overcome the world.

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock. Matthew 7:25

Eventually in everyone’s life there will be storms that come in, trouble that will rock the foundation of your home. The question is how are you preparing for these storms? Are you built on The Rock or The Sand? Will you and your family be able to withstand the storms of life?

And every one that heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand: Matthew 7:26

But what about those who have no faith or hope? Can you and your family withstand the storms of life with no Messiah?  Where does your hope come from when your still a slave to death and sin?

And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it. Matthew 7:27

Eventually without God in the middle of your life, it will all fall apart. Build your life on The Rock and be able to withstand the storms of life. Give yourself the peace, hope, and faith of Jesus Christ. We know there will always be storms in life but we have hope because we built on The Rock Amen

And my speech and my preaching was not with enticing words of man’s wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. 1 Corinthians 2:4-5

Man has tried to rationalize God, to put him in a box so we can perceive it with our human minds. But all the wisdom of man can never explain or fully comprehend the power of our Living God.  For example, creation, the best theory man can come up with is that the universe created itself while we know that God spoke everything into existence through his power and glory.

We need to come to a place where we realize God is the potter and we are the clay, there are things that are beyond our comprehension. But our pride and egos won’t allow this obedience to happen, so man continues to search for answers excluding God

Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 1 Corinthians 2:6-7

God can be a mystery sometimes, for example Jesus Christ, who became the Son of Man to die for our sins, yet was resurrected on the 3^rd day to rule forever. Why would God lower himself below the angels? How can the wisdom of man explain this? Our human minds still can’t comprehend this love and power God has displayed unto the world. Do you believe in the power of God or the wisdom of man?

Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. 1 Corinthians 2:8

And the world rejected God in the flesh and crucified him on a cross. If the wisdom of man understood the power of God, they would have worshipped Jesus instead of killing him. Or could it be the wisdom of man understood who Jesus is and yet rejected anyway due to our pride and unwillingness to change?

But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. 1 Corinthians 2:9

The fact is God has told us we have not seen anything yet, the power and glory of God is beyond our comprehension. There will be a day when God wipes away death and sorrow, prepares a heavenly place for us, and we live in peace with our King of Kings Jesus Christ. Question is are you going to trust your eternity on the Wisdom of Man or the Power of God?

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. 1 John 2:20

Many of us struggle for answers, and worry about the future of the world and our family. However, through God we already know all things. The beginning and the end is all written in God’s Word. When you study The Bible you will be revealed Gods plan to save humanity and its Jesus Christ.

Being anointed by God mean you have been baptized by the Holy Spirit, when you accept Jesus as your Lord and Savior, you have been anointed a Child of God

I have not written unto you because you know not the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth. 1 John 2:21

Jesus is The Truth, Life, and Way, there is no lie or sin thru him. You can trust in The Lord because he is holy and worthy to be praised. Satan wants to deceive you, to lead you astray, to destroy your soul. Follow Jesus because he is the only Truth

Who is a liar but he that denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist, that denies the Father and the Son. 1 John 2:22

We here about the coming of a great Anti-Christ, however anyone who denies Christ is an Anti-Christ. Anyone who rejects God has waged war with him. You can’t be neutral; you are either following God or your following Satan

Whosoever denies the Son, the same has not the Father: [but] he that confesses the Son has the Father also. 1 John 2:23

Nobody gets to the Father except through the Son, you cannot reach God without loving Jesus. When you accept Christ then you will truly know God. Without Jesus salvation is not possible. Anyone who acknowledges Jesus before other he will acknowledge to God Amen

Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy. John 16:20

Right now there doesn’t appear to be much joyful about in the world. But remember Gods promise that your sorrow shall be turned into Joy. This world is temporary and will eventually fade away, but Gods kingdom is Eternal and Jesus will reign forever.

We must learn to endure the hardships of this world. Poverty, sickness, famine, and death are all daily struggles for all. But this broken world will be restored, Jesus has already overcome the world, just wait for God to turn your sorrow into Joy

A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world. John 16:21

Jesus compares the end times to a woman in labor, she struggles and suffers with the pains. But eventually that promised child is born, and all sorrow is turned into Joy. This is the same for Gods Kingdom, there will be labor pains but eventually the promised Kingdom will be delivered.

And you now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man takes from you. John 16:22

Jesus makes another promise, that we will see him again. Jesus will return as our King of all Kings, and he will reign forever. All death, sorrow, and tears will be gone forever. Jesus also promises the Joy of The Lord nobody can take from you, because Jesus has defeated death and Satan in Jesus Name AMen

Even so we, when we were children, were in bondage under the elements of the world: Galatians 4:3

Why is life so difficult? Why is the world so unfair? Why does corruption and greed rule the world? Because we are all slaves to sin, due to the fall of Adam. Satan has deceived the entire world and has corrupted the human race. For the wages of sin equal death, this is the fate of the world

But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, To redeem them that were under the law, that we might receive the adoption of sons. Galatians 4:4-5

But God sent an answer through Jesus Christ, who has overcome sin and death. He has defeated Satan at the cross, and through his royal blood you can have eternal life. When you live by the flesh you are still under the law, which will ultimately equal death. But when you live by the Spirit you have eternal life through the grace of God in Jesus Christ

And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father. Galatians 4:6

And after Jesus ascended he sent his Holy Spirit, which will empower, strengthen, comfort, and provide wisdom to live for our Heavenly Father and not of for this world. As this world will truly pass away but the Kingdom of God is forever.

Wherefore thou art no more a servant, but a son; and if a son, then an heir of God through Christ. Galatians 4:7

So through Christ we are no longer a slave to sin but a Child of the Living God. And heir to the throne of Heaven. Victorious through Jesus Christ, an overcomer of sin and death Amen
