“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.

His Channels

By
Rom.1:20 For ever since the world was created, people have seen the earth and sky. Through everything God made, they can clearly see his invisible qualities—his eternal power and divine nature. So they have no excuse for not knowing God [with emphasis]. So far we have examined three channels God uses to speak to us. If you are not reading your Bible consistently, if you are not listening to messages over and over again, and if you are not accountable to other believers, you do not have believers that are speaking into your life, you have already missed three main channels God speaks through. Channel #4: God speaks to us through His Creation. Ps.19:1 The heavens proclaim the glory of God. The skies display his craftsmanship. 2 Day after day they continue to speak; night after night they make him known. 3 They speak without a sound or word; their voice is never heard. 4 Yet their message has gone throughout the earth, and their words to all the world [with emphasis]. God’s cre...

Setting Prisoners Free

By
Our Daily Bread Devotional 4th October, 2016 Read: Psalm 146 Bible in a Year: Isaiah 20-22; Ephesians 6 The Lord sets prisoners free. (Psalm 146:7) When my wife and I visited the National Museum of the Mighty Eighth Air Force near Savannah, Georgia, we were especially moved by the prisoner-of-war exhibit, with its re-creation of a German prisoner-of-war camp’s barracks. Marlene’s dad, Jim, served in the Eighth Air Force, the “Mighty Eighth,” as they flew missions over Europe during World War II. During the war, the Eighth Air Force suffered over 47,000 injuries and more than 26,000 deaths. Jim was one of those shot down and held as a prisoner of war. As we walked through the exhibit, we recalled Jim telling about the absolute joy he and his fellow prisoners felt the day they were set free. God’s care for the oppressed and liberation of the imprisoned are declared in Psalm 146. The psalmist describes the one who “upholds the cause of the oppressed and gives food to the ...

Not For Destruction

By
DCLM Daily Manna October 19th, 2016 Text: 2 Corinthians 10:1-11 Key Verse: “For though I should boast somewhat more of our authority, which the Lord hath given us for edification, and not for your destruction, I should not be ashamed” (2 Corinthians 10:8). Lord Acton was not wrong when he said: “Power corrupts, but absolute power corrupts absolutely”. In our society, we often see the reckless use of power by those who are privileged to be vested with power to serve the people. Instead of exercising the power for the benefits of the common man who they are expected to serve and defend, they turn the power to an object of oppression with which they victimize and oppress the poor. Paul consciously reminded himself and his congregation that the authority the Lord has given him and his team was not for the destruction of the people but for their edification. Even in the face of obvious provocation by the people, ministers must not turn around to use their authority to vex the pe...
