Christ steadies our hearts, as He lets us know He’s in control of our lives. It must be reassuring as a believer to realise Jesus Christ saw this moment thousands of years beforehand and prayed for you literally. We are those to whom the word came through the ministry of early Church Apostles and those after them. Our faith is stirred as we continually pray and trust Him, that Christ Himself prayed and prays for us. God is able to in the fullness of time, put all things under His feet, even now it is done before the foundation of the world. What a priviledge, and a glorious gospel. Glory to God.

You do well to believe in God, but do you also trust to see His power manifest in you? Like Jesus prayed, Father not my will but your will be done. This a prayer for men in the Spirit, mature and ready for the master’s use- a prayer of faith. Oh Lord, your will be continually done in me, in us as your people, in our nation, in our world. We ask in Christ’s name. Amen.

John 5:5-9

“One of the men lying there had been sick for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him and knew how long he had been ill, he asked him, “Would you like to get well?” “I can’t,” the sick man said, “for I have no one to help me into the pool at the movement of the water. While I am trying to get there, someone else always gets in ahead of me.” Jesus told him, “Stand up, roll up your sleeping mat and go on home!”Instantly, the man was healed! He rolled up the mat and began walking! But it was on the Sabbath when this miracle was done.”

Do not seek the blessings of spiritual gifts above the author of it. The Lord Jesus Christ is not only the first resurrected with an incorruptible and supernatural body, but is the resurrector and giver of life to all things dead. A worthy prayer to make is, Lord I want You, because there I find supernatural and eternal life. So, what do you want from this Christ? Blessed be the name of the Lord.

John 11:25-

“I am the Resurrection and the Life,” said Jesus; “he who believes in me, even if he has died, he shall live”

When we come to Christ asking genuine questions with a sincere heart seeking to know, no matter how foolish it sounds, He will answer and reveal more deeper things to you. Why? He sees the intent, our frailties, and He is gracious. Only believe, press on towards Him for His hands is outstretched than the swiftness of your feet. Glory to God.

John 1:46 (Matthew 9:4; 26:57-68; 1 Peter 3:15)

“And Nathanael said to him, “Can anything good come out of Nazareth?” Philip said to him, “Come and see.”

Obey first in believing, then do. Never rely on the strength of your efforts or sacrifices but on Christ’s, as God’s grace exceeds that. Your obedience must be a product of belief in God’s instructions not mechanically ticking the rule box. This is the sacrifice that’s pleasing to God- one based on faith. Consider Abel and Cain. Praise Him.

Romans 12:1-2 (Hebrews 11:4,6)

“Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God—this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.”

There is no rivalry in love, but it seeks the best for the other. Christ not only destroys that which puts people apart because of a lack of mutual divine fellowship, but unites them to Himself. A people united through faith in Christ by His sacrificial love, to be one with Christ. Here the body meets the head. Glory to God. God bless.

Ephesians 2:14-

“For Christ himself has brought peace to us. He united Jews and Gentiles into one people when, in his own body on the cross, he broke down the wall of hostility that separated us.”

Your response to the love of God is to love God, love people. (Romans 5:5; 1John 3:23)
God bless.

Matthew 22:36-40-

“Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.’ All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.”

To ask in faith is the expectation to receive. Remember, it’s God’s ability requested. I show you a mystery, you can place a demand on anything in the Spirit and see it manifest. I am sure God’s discretion will favour the righteous, and supply every need. Only be in line with His divine will and mandate for that time. Praise Him. God bless.

1 John 5:14-15

“Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”

A prayer.

For the persecuted Church to continually triumph over the gates of hell.

For the peace of God to continually rest over His people in every nation, and the gospel to advance effectively.

For God to distinguish His true servants and shepherds- those who care for the flock, from hirelings, so the body of Christ will be strengthened as they mark those who pleasure in division and avoid them.

For those ‘legally empowered’ to act in defense of lives and properties to do so effectively, especially Christians and every other vulnerable persons in hostile places. To ability to tell what difference, and specific approach needed, for lasting peace.

For wisdom to be thankful, as we weigh our burdens in relation to that which others bear, and to see the grace and purpose of God beyond our righteousness.

For oneness in the body, as Christ is one with the Father continually, so the Church might be formidable in showcasing the love of God.

For grace to continue in prayers and worship to keep seeing your hand of deliverance(s). And for wisdom for those who serve as leaders, to remember your sovereignty.

In the name of Jesus Christ. [John 10:1-18; Romans 16:17; Galatians 6:2; Matthew 16 :18, 5:44; 1 Timothy 2:2]

P. Israel

There is a talk of faith that is as one expressed in a living God as seen in Christ by a person who believes, then there is the other which is identifying with a religious understanding, some form of mental assent to the ethics. If you truly have the first you will have the second experience. But you may have the second- which is a religious and intellectual undertaking and yet yet to embrace the reality of relationship, as in the first, meeting Christ spiritually. In that place consummating, believing, the truth of God revealed is crucial – becoming one with it. This is more than an illusory idea, or the mere claim of some high knowledge far from the truth. When the Apostles and early believers spoke of faith, they meant a living faith. The one and only prize to be won, above all. Thanks be to God. God bless.

2 Timothy 1:12b

“… for I know whom I have believed, and am persuaded that he is able to keep that which I have committed unto him against that day.”
