“Jesus told her, “I am the resurrection and the life. Anyone who believes in me will live, even after dying. Everyone who lives in me and believes in me will never ever die. Do you believe this, Martha?”
- John 11:25-26

“When Mary arrived and saw Jesus, she fell at his feet and said, “Lord, if only you had been here, my brother would not have died.” John 11:32 [emphasis added]. Mary and Martha’s responses show us that the Jesus they know is the Jesus that can heal the sick. And sometimes, God allows us to go through situations that would make us perplexed, just to show us that He is still the same Jesus, that can not only heal the sick but can raise the dead.

Jesus was teaching us through this story, that He is not only able to prevent death by healing, He is able to reverse death by resurrection. Some of us are going through a challenge and all you have been saying to God is, Lord why me? God wants to use you to show the world how He can do the impossible. Do I get an Amen?

Jesus was explaining to Martha that her brother was going to come back to life. And Martha said, I know he is going to come back to life when everybody else rises up from the dead. Jesus said, you are correct to say he would resurrect at the end of the day. It is My Power that will resurrect him at the end of the day but I am here with you now. I am the same yesterday, today and forever. Understand this, I am the Resurrection and the Life. I am the One that will resurrect him then and I am the One that will resurrect him now!

“Everyone who believes in Me after dying will come back to life. And He says to Martha, do you believe this? And she says, I have always believed that you are the Messiah, the Son of God… Jesus responded, “Didn’t I tell you that you would see God’s glory if you believe?” John 11:26-27,40 [emphasis added]. Martha says to Jesus I believe you, Jesus says to Martha, if only you believe. Was Martha lying? No! Was Jesus not getting Martha? No! So what was going on? Martha believed in the Person of Jesus. But Jesus was saying, beyond believing in My Person, I need you to believe in My Power. It is one thing to believe in the Person of Jesus, it is another thing entirely to believe in the Power of Jesus.

Prayer: Lord Jesus, help me to believe in Your Person and in Your Power. Help me understand that You are able to do now what You did before and even what I have never seen, heard, or imagined, in Jesus Name.

THEME: You Can Create Whatever You Desire John 16:21-27 The instrument with which you exercise dominion over creation is your mouth.You can create whatsoever you desire by speaking that thing into existence.Whatever you say begins to exist in the spiritual form.Jesus said in John 6:63,"The words that I speak unto you,they are spirit,and they are life". In like manner,you create whatever you say and the things begin to exist in the spiritual form.What you create through words also have life and they continue to live until they find physical expression.  This is exactly what happens when you pray.The things you declare in prayer come alive and begin to exist in their spiritual form.They remain in that spiritual form until they are converted to their tangible equivalent through work. Jesus said,"until now you have asked nothing in My name.Ask,and you will receive,that your joy may be full" (John 16:24). Don't make the mistake of relaxing after you have pray...

You Must Forgive Yourself Hebrews 12:1-11 You have heard quite a lot about forgiving those that have offended you – and that you must do. It happens often that the person you must really forgive is yourself. You may have committed an offence or a sin and your conscience has condemned you, just as the Holy Spirit has chastised you. You may also have repented of this sin, confessed it to God and resolved not to go back that way. But you discover that the heaviness, clouded vision, and the erosion of confidence occasioned by the sin you committed continue to weigh you down. At such moments, you need to make another type of confession to God in order to regain your liberty from the weight that holds you down. You have to confess your unbelief in His word that says, “If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness” (1 John 1:9). When you have genuinely repented of a sin and confessed it to God; and you have pleaded ...

Sin Stained...or Blood Washed?

By
This is the covenant that I will make with them after those days, saith the Lord, I will put my laws into their hearts, and in their minds will I write them; and their sins and iniquities will I remember no more.  (Hebrews 10:16-17) The Bible tells us that under Levitical law, an animal had to be offered every year to atone for the sins of the people. That word atone means "to cover" and it's used continually throughout the Old Testament. But let me tell you something exciting. It's never used in the New Testament. The Greek word used to describe what Jesus did for us on the cross is a different word altogether. It doesn't just mean "to cover"—it means "to remit; to do completely away with something." Do you know what that means? It means there is no longer a sin problem. Jesus solved it! When you made Him your Lord, He didn't just cover your sins, He put you into right-standing with God and re-created you by the Spirit of God a...
