Waves of Glory

 

Being directed to the beatitudes, one has in mind of the kingdom of God.  His word of prophecy was given  through Jesus and the manifestation of the Spirit of the Lord God upon Jesus, where He was and still is anointed to preach the good tidings. Yes that is the Gospel to you and to me. He is so much more! He is majesty on high, the Great I Am in our midst, the Open Door, Shepherd of the sheep and He is truth. Revelation 19:16 And He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.  A title indeed, earned by His completed work and victory on the Cross. ( Philippians 2:5-11) The basis for His consummating the victory over the Dragon and his allies will be the highlight as He rides with His saints, leaving heaven to return to earth to stop the antichrist with his ruling with destruction.

Will you know this, you born again citizen of the kingdom of God through Jesus?

Only you and I or those who are born again unto that kingdom of God will abide there and will know the language there. For that to occur, it was great things planned and put in motion, that which would be hurled against the Son of God. And we saw that in the New Testament as in the book of Matthew, Luke, and Mark! Great attitudes of hate would be not only heard but also seen. In that, Jesus on the cross, giving up His body and by shedding His blood completely satisfied God’s requirement: Hebrews 10:12-14 NKJV But this Man, after He had offered one sacrifice for sins forever, sat down at the right hand of God, 13 from that time waiting till His enemies are made His footstool. 14 For by one offering He has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.

What a moment, what great trials and pain where torture was the rule of the day!

 And to us it opened up the gates of Heaven for anyone that would believe in Him John 3:16: For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 17 For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved. 18 He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the  only begotten Son of God. 19 And this is the condemnation, that the light has come into the world and men loved darkness rather than light, because their deeds were evil. 20 For everyone practicing evil hates the light and does not come to the light, lest his deeds should be exposed. 21 But he Who does the truth comes to the light, that his deeds may be clearly seen that they have been done in God.

In HIM, we have the benefit of life eternal.  1 John 5:10-12 NKJV 10 He who believes in the Son of God has the witness in himself; he who does not believe God has made Him a liar, because he has not believed the testimony that God has given of His Son. 11 And this is the testimony; that God has given us eternal life and this life is in His Son. 12 He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.    

Romans 2:6-11 Amp. Bible 6 for He will render to every man according to his works [justly, as his deeds deserve]. 7 To those who by patient persistence in well-doing [spring from piety] seek [unseen but sure] glory and honor and [the disobedient to the Truth  but responsive to wickedness, there will be indignation and wrath. 9 [And] there will be tribulation & anguish & calamity & constraint for every soul of man who [habitually] does  evil, the Jew first & also the [Gentile]. 11 For God shows no partiality [undue favor or unfairness; with Him one man is not different from another.

 

 Our answer is in Jesus from Matthew 11:29-30 He said “take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and lowly in heart….you will find rest for your soul. 30 For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.”

AND The Holy Spirit Prepares Us for Kingdom Victories Today: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints---

1.   No aliens: that is, no unrighteous will be permitted to enter after the judgment & cleansing by the Lord

2.   John 4:21; 23 “Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you will neither on this mountain or in Jerusalem, worship the Father. 23 But the hour is coming, and now is when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit & truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.

This is reverence to, only homage rendered to God and the ascended Christ; The glory of God illuminates the city…there is no night there so there is a fade less day; It is a place of joy for the nations will enjoy its beauty….

We are not to serve the creation, but serve our Creator Almighty God! Proverbs 15:24 The way of life winds upward for the wise, that he may turn away from hell below. …Proverbs 14:16 A wise man fears & departs from evil, but a fool rages & is self-confident. Colossians 3:1-2 If you then raised with Christ seek those things above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of God. Set your mind on things above, not on things on the earth. Set your mind on the things of above ( as those things of God), for His glory!

 

We are to equally demonstrate the Gospel as we defend it against error! In speaking, or in any action, is the Gospel demonstrated in us for God’s glory?Ephesians2:4-7 NKJV 4 But God, who is rich in mercy, because of His great love with which He loved us, 5 even when we were dead in trespasses, made us a alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved), 6 and raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus, 7 that in the ages to come He might show the exceeding riches of His grace in His kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

The glories of Christ’s kingdom dominion and authority may be experienced and enjoyed in the here and now: The outpouring of the Spirit of God is a sign that Jesus has been exalted to the right hand of the Father. Pentecost is a sign that Jesus is Lord. What an amazing future we have in HIM! It was the beginning .....to .....ENJOY WAVE AFTER WAVE OF GOD’S GRACE.

The Lord Gives Grace and Glory according to John 1:16  And of His fullness we have all received, and grace for grace. 17 For the law was given through Moses, but grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He had declared Him. It is God Who met us at the point of our need in the Person of Jesus Christ. This is Jesus in all His power, and His provision.

True light does not come to every man but only to those who receive Jesus. It is the power of God released!

Now imagine such great light. Imagine an Aurora Borealis with its depths, and heights, lengths and widths………now imagine those great waves of light washing over your nation, over your home and your family. Imagine the beauty and majesty of God on high and His glory covering the earth! Imagine every word Jesus spoke being spoken through your own lips. Imagine the power of God invading earth in every cubby hole, nook and cranny.

Habakkuk 2:4 For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea.

Now meditate on the word of God in you, the truth, yes that knowledge of Jesus Christ in you the Lord of glory. We glory in Him.We glory in His resurrection. We Glory in His life without spot or wrinkle. We glory in Him Who gain heaven for us, to know our Father the Creator of all!

Now again think on every power Scripture in your heart….Jesus is illuminating by the Holy Spirit power to bring light to the world that will have length, depth, height and width. Grace and glory…that light that dances and moves with power of God. And it is settling on you even now, you who believe, who fight with faith, standing your ground against the wiles of the enemy for your day is here and the glory has risen upon you. Yes, the glory is covering the earth….and see what happens next!

 Are you ready?

O ye of little faith

Remember that "O ye of little faith"?  Matthew 14:22-33 NKJV Immediately Jesus made His disciples get into the boat and go before Him to the other side, while He sent the multitudes away. 23 And when He had sent the multitudes away, he went up on the mountain by Himself to pray.  Now when evening came, He was alone there. 24 But the boat was now in the middle of the sea, tossed by the waves, for the wind was contrary.  25 Now in the fourth watch of the night Jesus went to them, walking on the sea. 26 And when the disciples saw Him walking on the sea, they were troubled saying, "it is a ghost"! And they cried out for fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them, saying, "Be of good cheer! It is I, do not be afraid."
28 And Peter answered Him and said, 'Lord, if it is You, command me to come to You on the water." 29 So He said, "Come". And when Peter had come down out of the boat, he walked on the water to go to Jesus. 30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!" 31 And immediately Jesus stretched out His hand and caught him, and said to him, "O you of little faith, why did you doubt?" 32 And when they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 Then those who were in the boat came and worshiped Him saying, "
Truly You are the Son of God."

Little faith is faith that lacks confidence or trust so little that people are rebuked by Jesus. When Jesus used this correction in various situations as in Matthew 6:30 (about clothing and the such), Matthew 8:26 (fearful about the wind and waves), Matthew 16:8 ( rebuked them not about not taking bread with them but heeding them to see the leaven of false teachings ) or Luke 12:28 ( about having the proper attitude toward material things).
 Jesus was pointing to that which exposed they had little faith that is undeveloped faith and in truth is outright unbelief. (or distrust)

SO here is in Matthew 14 and verse 28 Peter wanted to be commanded to come on the water, right in that area that Jesus was but the passage speaks Jesus came walking on the sea. Yes, this is a deep place, and is far from land. Verse 29 he comes out of the boat, and verse 30 reveals he saw the boisterous wind.....you know, white caps appear on the top of a river or sea when wind has a contrary attitude. My husband and I can take a drive in our SUV down the Gorge here in Washington. And which ever day we decide to do that, we may have either no wind or very little wind where we live but the wind towards the east end of the Gorge can be rowdy, rough and tough, for we can certainly point you to that bend in the road, where the river runs parallel to the roadway, the very place where in an instant peace changes to boisterous wind. It changes from the calm to the wind producing boisterous waves of many whitecaps dotting the top of the fast moving Columbia River.

Little faith can kill! God's words, those promises must be spoken by us daily to get them woven into our hearts so that changes may occur in the ways in which we think and act to live our lives. Unless we daily take those needed nutrients of His truth, we find little faith will kill you! 
VERSE 30 again tell us this:  30 But when he saw that the wind was boisterous, he was afraid, and beginning to sink he cried out, saying, "Lord, save me!"  And Peter saw the waves boisterous and he began to sink. He was going down into the depths. And he cried for help! Jesus could walk on the water because of the Holy Spirit. All things were given into Jesus' hand: John 3:35 The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into His hand.

"Well God told me to move to Timbuktu?"So do you have enough of God's word in you to live in India? Have you studied to know about the place you are being sent? Have you spent time with God to hear Him speak? Have you researched their medial care? Do they have the same or similar hospitals as the United States? Have you researched the language of their ways of life? What about a important need as a medicine..(you may require)...is there places available for immediate help if consequences change and you are bleeding out or having breathing problems? 
If there is a health problem, would it be better to see your health come back to excellent before heading out to a foreign country you have never lived in? Surely we have to know the Lord and His words of truth and act like He did. His words should be the first ones we should speak to another, right?
Jesus' purpose was for salvation but He also healed people while we walked on this earth. And we too, can know that healing when we abide by His truths and expect the same to occur for us. But if we put more of false the news in our hearing and hear all the bad things that can happen to you when you take a "bad drug".....then where will truth show up in us?



God has demanded us to live by Faith! Hebrews 10:38-39" Now the just shall live by faith; but if anyone draws back, My soul has no pleasure in him." 39 But we are not of those who draw back to perdition, but of those who believe to the saving of the soul. 
We are to be drawn to God, drawn to please Him, but culture can speak loudly to many folks. They are so attracted to that attention thing and having fans, they search for that which brings in more attention. Yeah, it reminds us of that thing..... like flies to honey kind-of-thing!
But 1 John 2:15-16 speaks this: 15 Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that is in the world-----the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life-----is not of the Father but is of the world.


So the pathway of some believer's can be swayed from the path that has godly success to seek out that which culture dictates leading to pathways that lead only to death!
Peter said this: Acts 5:29 But Peter and the other apostles answered and said, "We ought to obey God rather than men. 30 The God of our fathers raised up Jesus whom you murdered by hanging on a tree. 31 Him, God has exalted to His right hand to be Prince and Savior, to give repentance to Israel and the forgiveness of sins. 32 And we are His witnesses to these things and so also is the Holy Spirit whom God has given to those who obey Him.

God gives us His Spirit without measure. Yet I wonder how many are running on empty. John 3:31 NKJV He who comes from above is above all; he who is of the earth is earthly and speaks of the earth. He who comes from heaven is above all. 32 And what He has seen and heard, that He testifies; and no one receives His testimony. 33 He who has received His testimony has certified that God is true. 34 For He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for God does not give His Spirit by measure. 35 The Father loves the Son and the has given all things into His hand. 36 He who believes in the Son has everlasting life; and he who does not believes the Son shall not see like, but the wrath of God abides on Him.

Ephesians 3:17-21 NKJV 17 that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith; that you, being rooted and grounded in love, 18 may be able to comprehend with all the saints what is the width and length and depth and height------19 to know the love of Christ which passes knowledge; that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. 20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly above all that we ask or think , according to the power that works in us, 21 to Him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen

Is the Holy Spirit at home in our hearts or is something else abiding there? We must grasp God's love for us at the spiritual level beyond our own intellectual ability. And in that fullness of knowing that love, it is the Holy Spirit Himself who would reveal more fully the things of Christ Jesus to us and through us to others!
And the more we tank up on the Holy Spirit, that is praying and reading and confessing that word of truth, the more Holy Spirit people see in us and through us. Surely our faith grows the more we put the Holy Spirit in our spiritual tanks. And as the river flows, people are to be caught up in that flow that sweeps them to Jesus, refreshed by the Holy Spirit and rejuvenated to see their own tanks filled with His goodness.

Jesus and the Holy Spirit must be more real to us than the person next to us! They must be more real to us than our spouse or our children! We must have faith in Him WHO is the faithful and give thanks tor His faithfulness to us, even when we did not deserve it. We must have thankful hearts and speak of His goodness to us always.
So the next time you find yourself asking the Lord to command you to come to Him on the seas with whitecaps, make sure your equipped in your heart with truth that is the breastplate of righteousness, shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace, having a shield of faith to quench the darts of the enemy. For our covering is salvation by the blood of Jesus and confession of His great name and the sword of the spirit is the word of God.........and as we pray, we are strengthen by God by His Spirit to be watchful and to persevere not only for ourselves but also to encourage those saints to continue in their walk alongside us being intent in watching for the Lord's soon return, indeed!

Ordering Strawberry Lemonade and Tea Comes Instead

Was out with our grand-daughter last Friday to spend time outside our home while she visited with us! We decided to make reservations and take her to a place not far from here, have some late lunch or early dinner...yet, enjoy the scenery that is laid out perfectly around the Gorge Hotel. We arrived somewhat early, and waited for our table. Being seated our grand-daughter asked for a strawberry lemonade for her drink. Great idea I thought as warm as it was outside, the cool drink would certainly be refreshing on such a hot day!
Well, the drink was not available, so we asked for lemonade instead and in a few minutes a glass of unsweetened tea arrived at the table. The young man seemed very pleased that he was bringing tea to the table and all I could think was "that does not look like lemonade"!
I certainly tasted the beverage and was hoping that it was not a glass of      "very dirty lemonade" and it was just tea. Yes the tea that arrived at our table was just brewed as well, but we asked for lemonade!

Was reading in the Psalms today and came across Psalm 100! It is one of my favorites that my mother help me learn as a small child.
Psalm 100  (NKJV)
Make a joyful shout to the LORD all you lands! 2 Serve the LORD with gladness ; Come before His presence with singing. 3 Know that the LORD, He is God; It is He who has made us, and not we ourselves; We are His people and the sheep of His pasture. 4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise, be thankful to Him and bless His name. 6 For the LORD is good; His mercy is everlasting, and His truth endures to all generations.

That word "serve" is 'ahad. In the Strong's has the numbering of 5647 and has the meaning of to work for, serve, do labor for someone; to be a servant, to worship.

In serving God, and know it is our faith that pleases Him, do we do things within our day that will worship God and bring delight to Him?

In the "hall of faith" found in Hebrews 11, verse 6 reminds us that "without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is, and that He is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

As the born-again believer, we know that He is God! As in any relationship with another person, we spend time with them. We find out things of their nature, their abilities, their likes and dislikes and the best is that which brings a smile to their face! God is not a man. HE IS not a man who lies, but God, the Creator of heaven and earth! We are to know Him, the ONE, the HOLY God who gave His best for us.

Nowhere is God and His omnipotence seen more clearly than in creation. When God said, "let there be light,"......and it was so. ( found in Genesis 1:3,6, 9, etc.) It is revealed in God's power preservation comes. For all life on earth would have perished if were not for His continual provision of everything we need. For man it is food, clothing, and shelter. For beast, the rain brings fruit on trees as to leaves that are edible. The tree provides other fruit and some as nuts, and much shade during a hot summer blast of heat. We also know from the word of God that "the seas were assigned their limit" in Proverbs 8:29 When He assigned to the sea its limit, so that the waters would not transgress His command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth.

As man, we certainly need tools for carving out a roadway. We must have materials to create, but the Almighty God spoke and by the power of His Word everything was created from nothing!

Job 38: 4-11 NKJV  4 "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?" Tell Me, if you have understanding. 5 Who determined its measurements?" "Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it? 6 To what were its foundations fastened? or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 Or who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth and issued from the womb; 9 When I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band; 10 When I fixed MY limit for it, and set bars and doors; 11 When I said, 'This far you may come, but no farther, and here your proud waves must stop!"

Yes, it is revealed in the Bible, that which was written of God and those things He stated of His promises, His love and goodness to all. But the born-again believer, if really walking with Him reveals that each step throughout their day, all things should glorify God. They are things that will please Him, and help us see that God looks out for our good. Although we choose, yet it is His word that should lead us. So from Psalm 100 and the verse "to serve the LORD with gladness, should be that which is glorifying Him. It should be our faith speaking through out the day just like He did, He does speak now, and He will always speak.

In understanding and knowing Him, we bask in His presence because of Him and not just ask for "stuff"! Acknowledging first thing of the morning light, we are faith in action that God YOU are 1st in my life today and every day.
Opening His word, allows our inner man (our heart) to be flooded with that Light of His Word feeding our souls and helping us to grow up. AS our faith grows, that shield of protection is working, moving mountains out of our lives, knowing His goodness, and leaning back into His peace and His promise that "He will never leave us, nor will He ever forsake us."
Living in His presence, we receive vision for the future. For it is of good and not of evil, it is given in all wisdom and spiritual understanding that is walked out, influencing others, and being fruitful.
Yes, increasing in that knowledge of a loving God, we surely live from the Holy Spirit, walk without doubt, maturing daily, and receiving our dreams and desires that were God-ordained.

How shall I serve the LORD today? HOW should you and I serve HIM who has given so much? But we must receive HIM, know WHO He is and what He has done. In that service for all the days of our lives, may we keep God close, always sensing His love and peace wrapped about us, standing steadfast and speaking with loud voices, "for the LORD is good, HIS mercy is everlasting and HIS truth endures to all generations! Amen!

Do Not Discount the "MARTHA'S"

Oh, what is in a name?
Martha...means..in the.transliteration...Mar...."Lord"

Luke 10:38-42
38 Now it happened as they went that He entered a certain village; and a certain woman named Martha welcomed Him into her house. 39 And she had a sister called Mary, who also sat at Jesus' feet and heard His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with much serving, and she approached Him and said, "Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to serve alone? Therefore tell her to help me." 41 And Jesus answered and said to her, "Martha, Martha, you are worried and troubled about many things. 42 But one thing is needed, and Mary has chosen that good part, which will not be taken away from her."   NKJV

Martha: the manager, the lead, the mayor, CEO, a House Representative, a doctor, a lawyer, a research analyst, a archaeologist.........busy about much. Seizing the TEACHER in the House should have been the priority! 

Today, an example does not stand as bold for the "stay at home Mom" as it did back in the mid-twentieth century. In those modern shows at the time , the three main stations of T.V. portrayed them, the woman of the house as dressed to "party" with heels and jewels draping the dish pan hands. Yet, dressed in a shirt-waist dress,she fried up chicken in a pan. With every hair on her lovely head still in place and "no sweat" on the brow, she shined throughout the 30 minute program!. Oh, and please  excuse me about the "sweat thing", as no moisture would be found on the brow of the woman from some person's imagination of "the stay at home Mom".

Today women are in trades of all kinds. What were mostly male trades like welding, plumbing and the such 4 or 5 decades ago, many women do them more often and do it better than some males I hear. But the proof is in the product!

In the case of two women, we see sisters who have much in common due to parentage, yet the two can be so different. In the case of my sibling: Sis, was all athletic, as a youth loved baseball, and did well riding her bike without gears. In other words, our bikes had one gear: us! Going up a grade of a hill in your own gear certainly proved to me that my sister was strong and performed well on that bike. Her being my younger, I was more comfortable riding around the block going downhill and commending her on her great skill. Oh, yes, I loved exercise too, but my bike had no gears either than you pedal yourself around....hill or flat under your steam with no help.

It was Mom who kept us in "check". As we saw with Jesus, Kept the team in "check". He was always speaking of "kingdom" things and healing was evident in those who came to see Him. and in the coming, if they heard, for some that is, well, they left whole and healed.

John 11:17-45

17 So when Jesus came, He found that he had already been in the tomb four days. 18 Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, about two miles away. 19 And many of the Jews had joined the women around Martha and Mary, to comfort them concerning their brother. 20 Then Martha, as soon as she heard that Jesus was coming, went and met Him, but Mary was sitting in the house. 21 Then Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died. 22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You." 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. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" 27 She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world." 

28 And when she had said these things, she went her way and secretly called Mary her sister, saying, "The Teacher has come and is calling for you." 29 As soon as she heard that, she arose quickly and came to Him. 30 Now Jesus had not yet come into the town, but was in the place where Martha met Him. 31 Then the Jews who were with her in the house, and comforting her, when they saw that Mary rose up quickly and went out, followed her, saying, "She is going to the tomb to weep there." 32 Then, when Mary came where Jesus was, and saw Him, she fell down at His feet, saying to Him, "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died." 33 Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her weeping, He groaned in the spirit and was troubled. 34 And He said, "Where have you laid him?" They said to Him, "Lord, come and see." 35 Jesus wept. 36 Then the Jews said, "See how He loved him!" 37 And some of them said, "Could not this Man, who opened the eyes of the blind, also have kept this man from dying?" 

38 Then Jesus, again groaning in Himself, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone lay against it. 39 Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the sister of him who was dead, said to Him, "Lord, by this time there is a stench, for he has been dead four days." 40 Jesus said to her, "Did I not say to you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God?" 41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead man was lying. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, "Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 And I know that You always hear Me, but because of the people who are standing by I said this, that they may believe that You sent Me." 43 Now when He had said these things, He cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come forth!" 44 And he who had died came out bound hand and foot with grave clothes, and his face was wrapped with a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Loose him, and let him go."   NKJV

Busy in life, busy with family, the workplace, ministry possibly, and troubled with current events will take any family, man , woman or child to the point of..."breaking".
Relying on family members, and expecting them to be there always is not a good approach to living life that is good in God and His promises. 

In seeing these two women come to Him as the wailers they wailed loudly, Jesus found a blame game. "Lord, if You had been here, my brother would not have died."
Yet when Martha spoke, she finished with verse 22.......John 11:  22 But even now I know that whatever You ask of God, God will give You." 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. 26 And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?" 27 She said to Him, "Yes, Lord, I believe that You are the Christ, the Son of God, who is to come into the world."


She did not have the relationship she needed but still relied on Jesus for help....yet she called in verse 24...resurrection. And she spoke that she believed that Jesus was, is and will always be the Christ, the Son of God who is come into the world.
He had someone to agree on earth, in earth if you will, and move unbelief out of the way to maintain a flow of God's love to others in the tombs.
Faith was operating in that she knew Jesus to be the Son of God.
She was calling on His "divinity". She knew Who He was and what would and could be seen by speaking with Him.

Where might we be distracted that we should engage some discipline in our actions to stay up with God. Jesus was at their house regularly and sounds like they were close friends. If we are truly in Jesus, and reside in heavenly places, we should speak as God speaks. In Him there is a freedom that is about love and faith in God, Who is more than enough for any situation. And being trained as Jesus was in God, reveals to us a conduct that is righteous, is speaking as God speaks, and one who remained in holiness.
In those situations of trial Jesus kept His peace. His freedom language was what He heard the Father speak. In offering ourselves to God, we have one Master, Jesus Christ. In Him, we are the caring, abiding in righteousness that is truth infused into our lives by the Holy Spirit.
Keep in touch with the Lord.


The crowd was certainly loud around the tomb of Lazarus. There was probably panic on the part of those who cried in despair seeing that Lazarus is gone and he still had two sisters in the house to see after. Terror might have gripped some within the closed ranks of the family, yet, God was on the scene. Yes, heavy hearts were there, and peace far from them that day. But Jesus!
When the Prince of Peace came on the scene, it had to change.

What is interrupting our routine? Is the devil stirring up that which is beneath, say around our feet to agitate to make us move in making destructive decisions or is God wanting us to advance to another place? 

Death is one without hope. But Martha held on. Although she did not know the extent of what would occur that day, her faith filled Jesus. Is it possible that when "Martha" spoke what she did, that He had some who agreed with Him in His divinity? I think so. I believe He sees in "the spirit" Lazarus walking out of the tomb.

Jesus just had to speak "Faith" and see His friend return to a rich life in the Lord. For whatever word they heard from Jesus, regeneration had started.

Things changed that day for many. And the others, well they never recognized real life.

In the wind of activity, Jesus sticks closer than a brother. (Proverbs 18:24) Martha was right with the Lord. Many faces of love was revealed in this event. 

Do not discount the "MARTHA'S", they are the doers. Never get bogged down in stuff or be too busy to see the beauty of Jesus, the power of His blood and the greatness of His peace, for the wind and waves still KNOW HIS NAME.
