Sickness Is Not From God
June 20th
John 9:2 'And his disciples asked him saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?'
JOHN 9:1-4
The disciples asked a question that still puzzles many people today. Why is a child born with a physical defect? Is it a judgment of God upon the parents for some sin, or is it possibly God's judgment upon the child for sins that God knows he will commit?
Jesus Himself had previously linked sickness with sin. In this instance, however, Jesus said this blindness was not caused by this man's or his parents' sins.
This has led many people to interpret the rest of this verse as saying that God made this man blind just so that He...
I WROTE ON THIS SOMETIME AGO AND I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DIDN'T UNDERSTAND WHAT I WAS SAYING. PRAYER IS GOOD AND KEEP PRAYING FOR YOUR KIDS AND OTHERS THAT GOD HAS PUT ON YOUR MIND BUT JUST PRAYING FOR THEM ISN'T GOING TO GET THEM BORN AGAIN. IT IS UP TO THEM AND THEY HAVE TO MAKE THAT COMMITMENT TO JESUS AND RECEIVE HIM.
I THINK THERE ARE TWO MAJOR THINGS THAT CHRISTIANS ARE CONCERNED WITH TODAY AND THEY ARE HEALTH AND FINANCES. I KNOW NON-CHRISTIANS ARE ALSO CONCERNED BUT CHRISTIANS CAN DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT.
God Made Flesh
June 19th
John 8:58 'Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.'
JOHN 8:57-59
Jesus didn't seek to clarify the Jews' misunderstanding of His previous statements. Instead, He made a new statement that those who would not accept that Jesus was God in the flesh (1 Tim. 3:16) could not possibly understand. 'Before Abraham was, I am.' He not only said that He existed before Abraham, but He was again associating Himself with the great 'I AM' statement of Exodus 3:14. This statement could leave no doubt that Jesus was claiming deity in the highest sense of the word.
Jesus proclaimed 'I am.' This is how Jehovah identified Himself to Moses in Exodus 3:14....
I WOKE UP THIS MORNING AT THREE WITH THIS MESSAGE ON MY MIND. I FELT THAT THE LORD WAS TELLING ME THAT I NEEDED TO FIND THIS MESSAGE AND RE-POST IT. I FOUND IT ON INDIE GOSPEL CHRISTIAN NETWORK AS I HAD POSTED IT ON THEIR WEB SITE. SO, HERE IT IS AGAIN AND I PRAY THAT WHOEVER THE LORD WANTS TO SEE THIS, THEY WILL DO WHAT HE SAYS AND BE HEALED.
What Pleases God
June 18th
John 8:56 'Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad.'
JOHN 8:53-56
Jesus is referring to the day when men would be justified by putting faith in God and not in their own works. Abraham had this truth revealed to him (Rom. 4:13), and he believed it and was himself justified by faith (Rom. 4:3-4, 9).
Hebrews 11:6 says, 'But without faith it is impossible to please him.' It was Abraham's faith that pleased God. The Lord promised Abraham that his seed would be as numerous as the stars in the sky and the sand on the seashore and Abraham believed God. That pleased Him so much that he counted Abraham righteous right then, even though Abraham had...
The Old Man Is Gone
June 17th
John 8:44 'Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do: he was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.'
JOHN 8:39-47
All of us were born in sin and were therefore 'by nature' the children of the devil. That's the reason we sinned. Our sins don't corrupt our nature, but our corrupt nature makes us sin. That's why we must be 'born again' and become new creatures (or a new creation) in Christ.
The scriptures teach that everyone was born with a sin nature or old man. For the Christian, the old man is...
Abraham's Children
June 16th
John 8:37 'I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you.'
JOHN 8:33-38
The Jewish people were direct descendants of Abraham. However, as with so many biblical truths, there was much more to the Abrahamic covenant than what a casual glimpse would reveal. In truth, these Jews were not actually a part of the spiritual children of Abraham.
The Holy Spirit revealed through the Apostle Paul in Galatians 3:16 and 29 that God's covenant was to Abraham and his singular 'seed' or descendant, which was Christ. No one ever became an heir of God's promises through his natural birth. Before Jesus gave Himself as an offering for our...
BEFORE I GET STARTED THIS MORNING, I WOULD LIKE TO WISH ALL YOU DADS OUT THERE A HAPPY FATHER'S DAY. I HOPE YOUR DAY WILL BE BLESSED WITH ALL OUR KIDS BEING WITH YOU OR AT LEAST CALLING YOU AND WISHING YOU GOOD TIDINGS. GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
