The Giant And The Stone

StoneSlingshotThough the giant loomed large in the valley (1Sam.17:3-4), God had sent a shepherd boy over the top of the hill for the purpose of going down into that valley. An army did not take out the giant. A small smooth stone from an ordinary shepherd’s sling was all it took to end the giant’s career.
Something very ordinary ordained by God to be applied in a unique circumstance turned the tide for a nation. The faithful God of Israel still does business the same way He always has.

A Redemptive Hand Up

HelpingHandUpA redemptive act can also look like when the Lord instructed me to pray and make declarations over a certain massage parlor for two years. When visiting with pastors we had not seen in over 20 years, we discovered that they were rescuing women out of that very parlor over the last two years. Some of the women were as old as 50 and as young as 11. They take them to a safe house, lead them to Jesus, teach them the Word of God, teach them marketplace skills and help them get a job. They are redeeming those women, bringing them back from destruction and helping them get on with their life purpose.

of worship and devotion.

“It teaches us not to live against God and not to do the bad things the world wants to do. It teaches us to live on earth now in a wise and right way—a way that shows true devotion to God.” (Titus 2:12, ERV)

Redemptive Rescue

WomenSewingRedemptive acts can look like a U.S. businessman who went on a missions trip to Indonesia. When walking down the streets of a large inner city he noticed many women who were obviously captive in human trafficking. His heart was deeply moved for their plight and began asking the Lord what he could do to help turn things around for those women. The Lord put it on the man’s heart to open sewing centers around the city to teach those women to sew and while they are sewing, teach them about Jesus. He talks to U.S. companies and asks them to buy a pallet of sewing machines for Indonesia. He has gotten others involved in the vision and found local businesses to buy the clothes and has begun to make significant redemptive inroads into the human trafficking dilemma as redeemed women are becoming a legitimate part of the marketplace and the church in the inner city. There is room for both supernatural and practical in the redemptive Kingdom of God. There are times that, in order to deal with the intangible, we need to redemptively touch the tangible.

Bustin’ Through What Blocks

BustingThruWall
May the Lord grant you breakthrough in areas where it appears a roadblock has been thrown up in front of you, in areas where progress has stopped, where getting to resolve or to a goal is now prevented and you have no way through. May the blockage be broken through where you can’t get accomplished what you need to get accomplished.
“Your road won’t be blocked, and you won’t stumble when you run.” (Prov.4:12, CEV)

Reversing Destructive Effects

SunriseTreeHill
What exactly is a redemptive act and what does it look like? Everywhere
there is something destructive there is an opportunity for life, for the
power of the Kingdom (will, rule, authority) of God to be applied to
reverse the destructive effects (Lk.9:56; Jn.10:10; Col.1:13; 1Jn.3:8).

(This is the fourth excerpt from Marty’s article “THY Kingdom Come“ in SEEC Magazine.)


The King and His Kingdom will be preached at KINGDOM CONGRESS 2018  March 7-9.  “He sent them to preach the kingdom of God and to heal the sick.” (Lk.9:2, KJV)

Delivered From Harassment

WaterfallMan
May the Lord deliver you from every form of harassment and give you peace and take
you beyond the frustrations and delays it caused you, and may He wash off you all the
residue of those experiences as He causes you to triumph.

“In your great love, vanquish my enemies; make a clean sweep of those who harass me.
And why? Because I’m your servant.” (Ps.143:12, Msg)

Jesus Redemptively Confronted Darkness

OrangeSkySun
The “THY” of “Thy Kingdom come” is Redeemer. Redemptive acts serve to bring people out of that which would be destructive. In the Gospels Jesus acted redemptively (Lk.10:9; 11:20) and His disciples/apostles acted in like manner (1Cor.2:4; 4:20; 1Thess.1:5). Jesus brought back from destruction the morally corrupt, the physically depleted and the hopelessly demonized. In the Gospels He redemptively confronted and contradicted darkness both tangibly and intangibly which His disciples/apostles also did in the Book of Acts.

With Scriptural Integrity

BibleGlobeWhen issues are pressed hard upon society through politics and the media, it becomes quite evident who, in the church and outside the church, is faithful to scriptural integrity and who is embracing the mores of the present culture. Issues and those who support or oppose them are polarizing people to take a stand more definitively for or against. But the Word of God on matters never changes position. Those who stand in opposition to the unfailing Word of God do so to their own detriment and find themselves on shifting sand (Matt.7:27).
“Heaven and earth shall pass away, but My words shall not pass away.” (Matt.24:35, KJV)
“The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever.” (Isa.40:8, KJV)
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” (Heb.13:8, KJV)
“…the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. (Js.1:17b, KJV)
