"BELIEVERS RECEIVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"BELIEVERS RECEIVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 1:45, "And blessed [is] she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord."

LUKE 1:39-56


There are many reasons why God's blessings don't always come to pass in a person's life, but the most frequent cause is simply unbelief on our part. There are no limitations on God's part. He is willing and able to do anything He has promised. The problem is with our believing.

The Lord has given every believer faith (Rom. 12:3). It was given to us at salvation through hearing the Word of God (Eph. 2:8; Rom. 10:17). It is a fruit of the Holy Spirit (Gal. 5:22). However, we must choose to exercise it.

Our faith is linked to our knowledge (2 Pet. 1:1-4). What we think on is how we will be (Pro. 23:7). The problem is not that we don't have faith. The problem occurs when we don't allow our faith to work because we don't keep our...

"DO YOU DESERVE TO GO TO HEAVEN...WHY? BY DAVID MCMILLEN

IF YOU STOOD BEFORE GOD TODAY AND HE ASKED YOU WHAT YOU HAD DONE TO DESERVE TO BE IN HEAVEN, WHAT WOULD YOU TELL HIM?  SOME OF YOU WOULD START TELLING HIM ALL THE GOOD THINGS YOU HAD BEEN DOING LIKE GOING TO CHURCH, TITHING, TEACHING SUNDAY SCHOOL, ETC.  IF THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN A TEST QUESTION, YOU WOULD HAVE FAILED.



THERE IS NOTHING WE CAN ADD TO WHAT JESUS DID FOR US ON THE CROSS.  OUR ANSWER IS "BECAUSE OF JESUS IS THE REASON WE DESERVE TO GO TO HEAVEN". ANYTHING WE TRY TO ADD TO WHAT HE DID JUST BELITTLES ALL THAT HE HAS DONE.  HE DID IT ALL.


YOU KNOW BACK IN JESUS' DAY ON EARTH, THE JEWS WERE REALLY ZEALOUS FOR THE THINGS OF GOD.  HOWEVER, THEY DIDN'T HAVE THE FAITH IN HIM TO COMPLETE THEM, THEY THOUGHT THEY HAD TO EARN GOD'S FAVOR.  I THINK RELIGION AND THE TRADITIONS OF THAT RELIGION, THROUGHOUT THE YEARS, GOT IN THEIR WAY.

"THE POWER TO SERVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"THE POWER TO SERVE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 1:41, "And it came to pass, that, when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost."

LUKE 1:39-56


Upon hearing the greeting of Mary, John the Baptist leaped for joy inside his mother's womb (v. 44). A six month old fetus experienced unbridled emotion, voluntarily leaped for joy and was actually filled with the Holy Spirit.

It is no coincidence that the man Jesus called the greatest of all Old Testament prophets, was the only man in the Bible to be filled with the Holy Ghost from his mother's womb (Lk. 7:28).

The anointing of God that breaks every yoke is simply the manifest presence and working of the Holy Spirit (Isa. 10:27). The Holy Spirit is the part of the Godhead that empowers us for service.

God is not asking us to live for Him. He is asking us to let Him live through us (Gal. 2:20)....

"WHAT IS NOT OF FAITH IS SIN" BY DAVID MCMILLEN









YOU WILL NOTICE IN THE LAST MESSAGE ON FAITH THAT IN BOTH INSTANCES THE PEOPLE INVOLVED DID SOMETHING.  THE RULER WENT TO JESUS AND ASKED HIM TO HELP HIS DAUGHTER AND THE CENTURION ASKED JESUS TO HEAL HIS SERVANT.  BOTH HAD FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT THEIR REQUEST WOULD BE ANSWERED AND DID NOT HESITATE.  I AM WONDERING JUST HOW MANY TIMES WE HAVE HESITATED AND NOT...

"NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 1:37, "For with God nothing shall be impossible."

LUKE 1:26-38


What a statement! If we just believed this, how different our lives would be!

From birth we are trained to know our limitations. You can't have this. Don't touch that. Don't put things in your mouth. You can't touch the fire. On and on the list goes.

As we grow up, it's actually a sign of maturity to recognize our limitations and learn to live within them. There are limits to everything. It's a fact of life.

But God has no limits. When we enter into the realm of the supernatural, we have to take off all the limits. We have to renew our minds with the truth that God is not like us. He can do anything.

We have an awesome God whose power is so great that we can't even comprehend it. He created the universe and it didn't even tax His ability. Yet many times we find ourselves wondering if our...

"SHARPER THAN A TWO EDGED SWORD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


I HAVE WRITTEN BEFORE ON THE POWER OF GOD'S WORD BUT HAVE A LITTLE MORE TO SAY ON THAT SUBJECT.  SOME PEOPLE DON'T BELIEVE IN GOD'S WORD.  IF THEY DID, THEY WOULD NOT BE IN NEED OR SICK OR DEPRESSED.  I AM NOT ONE OF THOSE "NAME IT AND CLAIM IT" CHRISTIANS BUT I DO BELIEVE IN GOD'S WORD AND HE SAYS TO ASK AND IT SHALL BE GIVEN TO ME.  READ IT FOR YOURSELF.  (MATTHEW 7:7-8 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:  For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.)   AND, (MATTHEW 21:22 And all things, whatsoever ye...
"KNOWING GOD'S WILL IS NOT ENOUGH" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 1:34, "Then said Mary unto the angel, How shall this be, seeing I know not a man?"

LUKE 1:26-38


Contrast Mary's question and Gabriel's response with the question that Zacharias asked Gabriel and the response that he received (Luke 1:18-20). You will find the questions are similar but the responses are totally different.

Both Mary and Zacharias asked how these miracles would occur but it is evident that Mary was asking "how" in faith while Zacharias was asking "how" in unbelief. It is a clear Bible teaching that unbelief doesn't please God (Heb. 11:6), but the Lord doesn't mind us questioning Him for the purpose of instruction so we can cooperate with His will in our lives.

Abram knew that it was God's will for him to have a son but Abram and Sarai came up with their own plan which caused them and the world much grief (Gen. 16:1-6). Abram would have avoided many...

"CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

"CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Luke 1:18, "And Zacharias said unto the angel, Whereby shall I know this? for I am an old man, and my wife well stricken in years."

LUKE 1:5-25


Zacharias and Elisabeth were righteous people (v. 6) who prayed for a child for many years. They felt the same disappointments and frustrations that any of us would feel and yet they kept believing God. The Lord finally answered their prayers and sent His angel to announce the good news.

What was Zacharias' reaction? He couldn't believe it! The very thing that he had been praying for was granted and he doubted that it was true. In Zacharias' case he received his miracle anyway. Perhaps his wife's faith pulled him through.

Likewise, you may be praying for the right things. You may even be sincere and earnest, but would you be surprised if those prayers were suddenly answered today? Have you made preparations for your prayers to be...
