JESUS Saves

Jesuslostsheep
It doesn’t matter how far your children, your loved ones run, they cannot
outrun your loving and compassionate God. Saving is what JESUS does.
He saves the lowest and the farthest removed.

JESUS is mighty to save…
”Who is this who comes from Edom, from the city of Bozrah, with his magnificent
garments of crimson? Who is this in royal robes, marching in the greatness of his
strength? “It is I, the Lord, announcing your salvation; I, the Lord, the one who is
mighty to save!” (Isa.63:1, Living Bible)

JESUS saves to the uttermost…
“Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost that come unto God by him,
seeing he ever liveth to make intercession for them.” (Heb.7:25, KJV)

Exponential Curve

ExponentialcurveThere will always be those who insist on and who will eventually get some things done with barges and bridges but the Holy Spirit is NOW working in this earth, in this hour on an exponential curve. An exponent is a number which is multiplied by itself. In this hour in the earth God is not multiplying 4 by one. He is multiplying 4 by 4. 4 is becoming 16 and 16 is becoming 256 and 256 is becoming 65,536! “One shall set a thousand to flight but 2 shall set 10,000 to flight.” The curve of a typical table of multiplication looks like a small sapling that has been bent over. But an exponential curve looks like the space shuttle as it takes off and breaks free of gravity.

The Lord Show Openly

Sunthroughcloud
May the Lord make a show openly of acting restoratively in
behalf of His sons and daughters and may He move largely
and move quickly in behalf of the redeemed.

”Don’t hide from me in my time of trouble. Pay attention to
my prayer and quickly give an answer.” (Ps.102:2, CEV)

Then and Now

Crowdoutdoors“They” are still saying, “That was then but this is now. What God did then doesn’t happen now.” Jesus preached to 5,000 at one time. Reinhard Bonnke preaches to an average of 100,000 at a time. In one service, entire cities are accepting Jesus Christ as Savior. On one island in the South Pacific, the king and his prime minister help oversee Gospel ministries and the training of ministers which are being sent to Europe.

Those who say “that was then but this is now” don’t really mind quoting the old hymn which speaks of God having worked in “mysterious ways, His wonders to perform” but they are not inclined to trust Him to work in mysterious ways now. However, God is working in mysterious ways and performing wonders quite out of the ordinary in the earth, in this hour. In this hour God will have a supernatural people who are no strangers to His supernatural ways.

JESUS Who Endured the Cross

Emptycross
As the people of God assemble today may they fix their eyes on Jesus who endured the cross, despised the shame and is now set down at the right hand of the throne of God. May they know that Jesus rose from the dead because there was more to come.

“Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us,  2 fixing our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.”  (Heb.12:1-2, NAU)

Jesus Conquered Evil

breaking wall
Found this quote in my notes:  “He did not conquer in
spite of the dark mystery of evil, He conquered through it.”

”and the Ever-living One [living in and beyond all time and space].
I died, but see, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of
[absolute control and victory over] death and of Hades (the
realm of the dead).” (Rev.1:18, Amp)

Feed the Nations

FoodDonations“They” could not tell the late Lester Sumrall that his small ministry could not feed nations. He was not the head of a large denomination but of a small ministry compared to the size of a denomination. He prayed and God gave him a C-130 transport plane capable of flying anywhere in the world in a matter of hours while carrying multiplied tons of food to starving people who must have immediate relief. He prayed and God gave him a large cargo ship several football fields in length. Kellogg Co. gave him one million dollars worth of food at a time. Most of us would never even think to ask God for a cargo plane or a cargo boat. If we don’t know God’s Word, how do we know our God? If we don’t know our God, how do we know the possibilities and how do we know what to ask for?

Strength to Strength

Hiking
May the Lord God take you beyond weariness as He carries you from strength to strength, faith to faith, and glory to glory.

”They go from STRENGTH TO STRENGTH, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.” (Ps.84:7, KJV)
”For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from FAITH TO FAITH: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.” (Rom.1:17, KJV)
”But we all, with open face beholding as in a glass the glory of the Lord, are changed into the same image from GLORY TO GLORY, even as by the Spirit of the Lord.” (2Cor.3:18, KJV)

The Breaker of Bread

Breadbreaker
There is a spirit at work in this world and it is the spirit which relentlessly speaks into any ear that will listen and says, “That was then and this is now”.  “They” have come too late to tell Philip “that was then and this is now”.  He has already seen with his own eyes the hands of Jesus multiplying two little fish and five little loaves into a meal which fed 5,000. “They” have come too late to tell sons of God that “there isn’t enough” and “there won’t be enough” because those sons of God know the Breaker of Bread.

Value of a Biblical Worldview

Bibleworld
May the Lord God enable us by His powerful Holy Spirit to
communicate the life and value of living with a biblical worldview.

”14 However, continue in what you have learned and found to be true.
You know who your teachers were. 15 From infancy you have known the
Holy Scriptures. They have the power to give you wisdom so that you can
be saved through faith in Christ Jesus. 16 Every Scripture passage is
inspired by God. All of them are useful for teaching, pointing out errors,
correcting people, and training them for a life that has God’s approval.
17 They equip God’s servants so that they are completely prepared to do good things.”
(2Tim.3:14-17, GW)

God Will Come Through

Mountainplain
Scorners have come too late to tell Zerubbabel the temple won’t be finished. God has put the plumb line in Zerubbabel’s hand and has proclaimed: Not by might nor by power but by my Spirit, says the Lord Almighty. What are you, O mighty mountain? Before Zerubbabel you will become level ground (Zech 4:6-7, NIV). “They” have come too late to tell men and women, who have trusted in the Lord God who calls and equips, that He will not come through for them.

Help to Draw the Net

Fishandnet
As the people of God assemble today, may they be infused with Holy Spirit power to be fruitful all the days ahead.  May vision and empowerment come to each one.  I pray that the fruit our Lord gives you and your church this year will be like the net the disciples had to call for help to draw in.  May there be such a bounty that the net would be near bursting with the catch. May your net be strong and hold.

“So Simon Peter went aboard and hauled the net to land, full of large fish, 153 of them; and[though] there were so many of them, the net was not torn.” (Jn.21:11, Amp)

As You Go

Walkonsidewalk“AS YOU GO” about your Father’s business today, this week and this year, what you accomplish will far exceed your abilities and learned knowledge. You will have delightful discoveries that your Father’s hand is working beyond your immediate awareness. You will be involved in His workings without having to launch yourself for a particular mission. He will use you and you will accomplish matters for His Kingdom “AS YOU GO”. You will accomplish more “accidentally” than the enemy will accomplish on purpose.

Matt 10:7  “And AS YOU GO, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand!”

Don’t get Down off the Wall

Gettingoffwall
“They” have come too late to tell Nehemiah the walls of Jerusalem cannot be rebuilt because there is too much opposition. “They” have come too late to tell him people won’t get back up on the wall with their families and live like there is a cause to fight for. “They” have come too late to tell Nehemiah that opposition and the delay of time mean he doesn’t have a God-given purpose that will be fulfilled. Let us (and our families) benefit by taking the uncompromising stand that Nehemiah took.  ”So I sent messengers to them, saying, “I am doing a great work, so that I cannot come down. Why should the work cease while I leave it and go down to you?” (Neh.6:3, NKJV)

God Frustrates the Devices of the Crafty

Frustratedscratchhead
May the people of God be of one mind and one accord as they
look to their Great God who fights for them, and may they call
upon His Name in stedfast faith that He will act in His righteous
wisdom to bring to naught the devices of those who have laid out wicked designs.

”He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot
perform their enterprise or anything of [lasting] worth.” (Job 5:12, Amp)

Taking Your Mountain

Climbingmountain
“They” likely told old Caleb, “There is only one way for you to take that mountain: hire a strong group of highly trained young mercenaries who have all the latest firepower.” Those poor Anakites believed the wrong report. Old Caleb drove them out. The doubters who didn’t know the Word of God to Caleb have come too late to tell Caleb there is only one way to defeat giants and take your divinely promised mountain.

Breakthrough Enablement

May breakthrough revelation and enablement come to
you for what you are going through right now and for
our Lord’s purposes which you are to fulfill in coming days.

”So David came to Baal-perazim and defeated them
there; and he said, “The Lord has broken through my
enemies before me like the breakthrough of waters.”
Therefore he named that place Baal-perazim.”
(2Sam.5:20, NASB)

Victory Over Impassible Walls

Highwalls
If God asked the typical committee about Jericho He would be told, “You can only take it three ways: with ladders on the walls, by setting fire to the gates or tunneling under the walls.” But Joshua received an unconventional directive from a Higher Source. The way to get it accomplished was marching and blowing trumpets. “They” have come too late to tell Joshua there is only one way to get to total victory over impassable walls.

Pieces of Puzzles Coming Together

Piecespuzzletogether
As the people of God assemble today, may they see more than
ever before the great power of God working among them and
bringing the pieces of misunderstood puzzles together and
receive understanding in matters longed desired.

”I want to see the result of all the greatness and power you
have been showing us; for what God in all of heaven or earth
can do what you have done for us?’” (Deut.3:24-25, Living Bible)

Sounds of Rejoicing

CelebratinglaughingMay you hold on, stand firm and declare your victory knowing
that our victorious Lord will yet fill your mouth with sounds of
victorious rejoicing, even laughter.

”He will yet fill your mouth with laughter and
your lips with joyful shouting.” (Job 8:21, Amp)

God Makes a Way

BridgeoverwaterGod doesn’t need anyone to offer Him solutions as to how He can make a way. He owns the original copyright on making a way where there is no way. If a committee was asked about the Red Sea, God would have been told, “You can only do it one of two ways: either by barges or by bridges.” But Ps.77:19 says, “Your path led through the sea, your way through the mighty waters, though your footprints were not seen” (NIV). God’s footprints were not seen because no one was looking for them. “They” have come too late to tell Moses there is only one way.

Getting Over the Hump

HumpinroadMay the people of God reach that point which takes them over the
frustrating hump of not realizing goals. And may they experience
the sweetness of desire fulfilled while maintaining self-government
and the precepts of biblical values.

”A fulfilled desire is sweet to the soul, but turning
from evil is disgusting to fools.” (Prov.13:19, GW)

The Few Overcome Like the Many

Fewandmany
“They” have come too late to tell Gideon that God does not stand with the few and cause them to overcome like they were many. Gideon may be confused today. He may be hiding and pounding out a few pitiful pounds of grain today but be careful because tomorrow night he will be on the hillside with a pitcher and trumpet and rejoicing while an army of thousands turn their swords on one another in total confusion. “They” have come too late to convince Gideon that God doesn’t take the care or the time to work the impossible with a small handful.
