Resurrection Is A Person

Martha spoke of resurrection in terms of an end-time doctrine. JESUS spoke of resurrection in terms of that which is a present fact applicable to present circumstances. JESUS was challenging Martha to see it and experience it BEFORE the Last Day.

cross_LightIf JESUS cannot raise us from the death of failure (“death”: termination or extinction of something; cessation of all vital functions), from the death “of ceasing of function”, from the death of “not functioning because of fault or breakdown”, how can He raise us from the dust at the Last Day?

Here at Bethany, where JESUS is speaking to Martha, He is only two miles from Jerusalem where He healed one who had been diseased for 38 years; He healed one who had been blind since birth; now He raised one who had been dead for four days. Surely He can raise you up today. I like this definition of resurrection: “to stand up again.” Rejoice, it’s Resurrection Day! You can stand up again because Resurrection is a Person! (v.25 “I AM THE RESURRECTION AND THE LIFE”)

“23 Jesus said to her, “Your brother will rise again.”  24  Martha said to Him, “I know that he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.”  25  Jesus said to her, “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.” (Jn.11:23-25, NKJV)

One Grain But Much Fruit

grain of wheat

“Truly I say to you that UNLESS a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies…”(Jesus speaking in Jn.12:24) This particular Grain of Wheat had a choice as to whether or not He would die and go into the earth. Knowing what was coming, He said to the Father, “yet not my will, but yours be done.”(Lk.22:42) He was willing! Because this Grain would not “remain alone”: v.24 “if it dies, it bears much fruit.” Those redeemed by the shed blood of Jesus are His fruit. We are His message, His living letters (2Co.3:3) that He has sent into the future. He rose, He lives and His fruit (His message to this generation) will show Him and His resurrection to the world by the power of His Spirit. He was willing to die to bear much fruit and His resurrection enables us to live to bear much fruit.

Mighty Ships

The mighty ship that crosses oceans with great loads of valuable cargo was not meant to be tied up to the dock while the waves tossed and the wind Shiphowled out at sea. The ship was designed and built to ply the seas and its time in harbor at dock was meant to be for resupplying so that it could get back out upon the seas it was built for. The reason for a big harbor isn’t so that more ships may get into it and reside there, it is so that more ships may be supplied and equipped more efficiently to get back out on the seas as quickly as possible. And then once out at sea the bow must push its way through the resisting waves and currents to get to its point of delivery. We are built, like the great ships, to handle resistance and cut through resistance. Progress and profit only come from the ships that ply the seas.

Good Heritage Results

Portrait Of Extended Family Group In ParkYour healing is not dependent upon how much of something has come down through your bloodline or how much of something is lacking in your bloodline. What is purportedly happening to your age-group financially and health-wise are not predetermined factors that sons and daughters of God must bow to.

“The lines have fallen for me in pleasant places; yes, I have a good heritage.” (Ps.16:6, Amp)

“I have been young and now am old, yet have I not seen the [uncompromisingly] righteous forsaken or their seed begging bread.” (Ps.37:25, Amp)

Profit From Resistance

A body builder by the name of Arnold Schwarzenegger didn’t get that way because God made his environment perfect. He got that way by pumping weight liftingand pressing against iron. Let me say that another way: he worked with resistance. He didn’t stop or go another direction when the great resistance of weighty iron was presented to him.  His experience in resisting iron was that every time he would push the iron up, the iron—through its weight—would push down. He consistently worked with that resistance to build a championship physique whereby he was able to rule in the world of body builders. The perfect environment that brought him through to championship was one of resistance.

Jehovah-Jireh

fieldDo not look to demographics to make decisions concerning those things you have asked God for. He does not consider the rise or fall of the market before He decides to give or not. Jehovah-Jireh does not wait for the Dow Jones report to estimate your annual supply. El Shaddai does not stand at the dock to see if any boats are coming in with sufficient loads. He is the sufficient One.

“And my God shall supply all your need according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus.” (Phil.4:19, NKJV)

A Perfect Pair Of Brakes

Kathy and I grew up around church kids and minister’s kids. We know many for whom hurts and disappointments drove mean brakes1wedges between them and the Holy Spirit. That resulted in their not wanting anything to do with ministers or churches or Christians and. . . eventually God. The devil didn’t have to kill them to stop their progress in the destiny they were born with. The kids I’m talking about are ones that the obvious Hand and purpose of God was upon them. All satan has to do, in many cases, to bring a screeching halt to purposeful progress is to ask, “Did God say?” (Gen.3) A doubt offered and a doubt received is a perfect pair of brakes to stop most any vehicle. “Well, if God loved you, this would be a certain way and the other thing would be what ‘it ought to be’.” Just because our lives are not perfect does not mean that God doesn’t love us.

No Wedge

The devil’s plan from the beginning was to simply separate Adam and Eve from the presence of God. He did not have to kill Adam and Eve. wedgeHe still doesn’t have to kill people today. As we go about ministering across the nation we occasionally come across people who express concern as to whether or not it is God’s will to heal them. They wonder, “Is God doing this to me? or “Is the devil doing this to me to get me out of the picture?” The devil actually doesn’t have to get himself involved in all that messy sort of entanglement. All he has to do is somehow, craftily provide opportunity for a wedge to get driven between us and the Communicator of heaven—The Holy Spirit.

May The Lord Remove The Sting

remove stingToday, may the sting and sorrow you have experienced in certain relationships be removed from you so that the sting heals without scar. May you be soothed deeply and may you feel the Good Shepherd’s loving hands applying healing balm as He compassionately massages away the tender bruises. May your conversations cease leading to the rehearsal of those hurts. May you receive multiplied recompense for all grief and suffering at every level of relationship past and present.

“Love does no wrong to one’s neighbor [it never hurts anybody]. Therefore love meets all the requirements and is the fulfilling of the Law.” (Rom.13:10, Amp)

Representing His Person

God’s plan is not to rule in the earth by sitting on a big gold throne in Jerusalem and sending out messages and orders and commissions and people talking2mandates by email and texting. His plan is to be upon His throne in the heaven of heavens. “The heavens are the heavens of the LORD, But the earth He has given to the sons of men.” (Psa 115:16) Why is it like that? Is the earth simply a place of woes and defeats that we have to try to tolerate until we have an opportunity to leave it? Is the earth ours so we can grow corn and cows and have great food and enjoy ourselves on holidays? Or is it so that we can be His representatives, fully representing His Person and character by saying what He would say if He were present and by doing what He would do if He were present?

Hold Them Near

huggingMay you hold those you have dreamed of in your arms: children and children’s children; husbands and wives; brothers and sisters; co-laborers for the Kingdom. May you hold them and receive strength and love from them and may you bless them for the days of destiny to come. May your covenant be unbroken with them and may the days ahead with them make you rich. May you sing and dance and laugh and drink and feast with them while rejoicing in the Lord who “maketh rich and He addeth no sorrow with it.” (Prov.10:22)

The Key: Holy Spirit

Golden key in keyholeThe Holy Spirit is the One who has constant communication with heaven which is the seat of God’s authority. The key to man being able to express the Kingdom of God here on earth is the presence of the Holy Spirit. As it has been so well said, the Holy Spirit is the most important Person on earth. Jesus is at the right hand of the Father—at the right hand of majesty on high.  He is there in the presence of God. The presence of God is not static, He is active—constantly active.

Pray For One Another

As the people of God assemble today, may the Lord move upon their hearts to put you on their prayer list so that they pray for you daily. May the Lord show you the people you are to Pray one anotherpray for daily. May He show us, by His Spirit, how we are to pray for one another.

“Confess to one another therefore your faults (your slips, your false steps, your offenses, your sins) and pray [also] for one another, that you may be healed and restored [to a spiritual tone of mind and heart]. The earnest (heartfelt, continued) prayer of a righteous man makes tremendous power available [dynamic in its working].” (Js.5:16, Amp)

What I Meant To Say Was…

business conversationsMay we say less and less: “What I meant to say was . . . “.   May the Lord help our thought processes so that we communicate clearly what we intended to communicate. May He improve the way that we put our thoughts together so that we might be certain we have connected with the other person or persons; and know that they have walked away with an understanding that enables all parties to arrive at the desired goal.

2  That people may know skillful and godly Wisdom and instruction, discern and comprehend the words of understanding and insight,

3  Receive instruction in wise dealing and the discipline of wise thoughtfulness, righteousness, justice, and integrity… (Prov.1:2-3, Amp)

By The Power Of The Holy Spirit

It is all by the power of the Holy Spirit. We are not just kings and priests so we can have titles. We are so, by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Visible Representation Of The Unseen

rainbowThe purposes of an invisible God are served by a visible creation. We are the visible representation of the unseen heavenly realm. It all culminated in the Person of Jesus Christ. The Holy Spirit who anointed Jesus now dwells in us and enables us to be God’s visible, tangible point of rule and authority on earth. The Holy Spirit and the Kingdom of God go hand in hand. You don’t get one without the other.

A Timing Notice

I was telling a pastor friend about this “Let It Rain” prophetic song and her eyes lit up. That same Sunday morning, in the worship at her church, the watch faceworship leader also prophesied in song that she could see a cloud the size of a man’s hand. She told her pastor later that she saw a small cloud with a wind around it, as if it were energizing it. Even greater than what she saw was the sense of getting ready for a manifestation of the glory and blessing of God because a breakthrough was coming. Let’s note this is established in the mouth of two witnesses on the same day and neither released it as a weak-someday-somehow, but rather a now-notice. We have heard, like Elijah heard something in verse 41, and he told them to celebrate, “There is the sound of abundance of rain, there is the sound of the roar of a heavy shower, rain is on the way; I hear it coming,” but then he saw something. The tiny cloud was a timing notice because when it showed up he said, “Saddle up and get down from the mountain before the rain stops you.” The cloud meant all systems go—it was the beginning. It was time for change to begin! We too have heard it, now go look again! Melissa continued singing, “He makes all things new, let it settle over you. We are gonna go ahead and break through . . . because it’s the year of the cloud.”

Well-Intended Efforts

targets_bullseyesWhere it is the case, may the Lord show His people where their well-intended efforts have not really been necessary, or possibly even wasted, in order that they may be more efficient and effective. May He help us discover more accurately where we need to concentrate effort, time and finance so that His purposes may best be served. “Mark a life of discipline and live wisely; don’t squander your precious life.” (Prov.8:33, Msg)
