TRUSTING EYES

"I lift up my eyes to the mountains—where does my help come from? My help comes from the Lord, the Maker of heaven and earth." ~ Psalm 121:1-2   REFERENCE: Psalm 121:1-8   Albert Mehrabian found that communication is 55% body language, 38% vocal, and 7% words only. Hence, our non-verbal communication makes up over 90%, meaning our body language matters when we speak. Your actions genuinely reflect your intent and can be seen more precisely than your words when heard. Hence, trusting eyes talk of faith in God. A picture speaks louder than a thousand words because people interpret the...

SYSTEM RESTORE 2

“You shall eat in plenty and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, who has dealt wondrously with you; and My people shall never be put to shame.” ~ Joel 2:26   REFERENCE: Joel 2:18-27   We learned of God’s promise to give us a system restore yesterday. God desires to undo whatever the enemy has done in your life and restore you to a point in your life before the enemy tampered with you or the events of your life. God can restore time, as our text shows; when He raised Lazarus to life, it was...

SYSTEM RESTORE

"So, I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust, My great army which I sent among you." ~ Joel 2:25   REFERENCE: Joel 2:18-27   If you use a Windows computer, you should know the term 'system restore.' It is a feature that allows users to revert their computer's system files, settings, and programs to a previous point in time, called a "restore point." I hear God saying, "Reset;" He wants to give you a system restore, taking you back to a (restore) point where life was a...

YOU CAN: GO AHEAD!

“Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying: “Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you; before you were born, I sanctified you; I ordained you a prophet to the nations.” Then said I: “Ah, Lord God! Behold, I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” – Jeremiah 1:4-6   REFERENCE: Jeremiah 1:4-10   “You can: go ahead!” In essence, this was God’s response to Jeremiah’s excuse: “I cannot speak, for I am a youth.” God told him, “You shall go to all to whom I send you, and whatever I command you, you shall speak.” Jeremiah must understand...

PURSUE PURPOSE LIKE BUSINESS

"And He said to them, "Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father's business?" ~ Luke 2:49   REFERENCE: Luke 2:41-49   Victor Frankl said, "Life is never made unbearable by circumstances but only by lack of meaning and purpose." Living finds its meaning when you are living for something with meaning. You are here for a purpose; fulfilling it gives meaning to your life. To fulfill a purpose, you must pursue it like a business, with the same earnestness with which a businessman does his business. Jesus Christ could have told His parents 'that I must be...

COWARDICE

"Then Hezekiah king of Judah sent to the king of Assyria at Lachish, saying, "I have done wrong; turn away from me; whatever you impose on me I will pay…" ~ II Kings 18:14   REFERENCE II Kings 18:1-16   William Shakespeare said that a coward dies a thousand times before his death, but the valiant taste of death but once. A person who lacks courage suffers the feared effects of death many times, while the valiant person doesn't think about death until it arrives. This talk is not about dying but about how King Hezekiah showed embarrassing cowardice in capitulating...

YOUR LIFE, A MESSAGE

“Now thanks be to God who always leads us in triumph in Christ, and through us diffuses the fragrance of His knowledge in every place.” ~ II Corinthians 2:14   REFERENCE: II Corinthians 2:14-17   My late pastor used to say, “If you were the only bible someone had to read, would they follow Jesus?” He would often pray, “May your kind increase.” Anytime he prayed that, I went home and wondered what the church would be like if everyone was like me; it made me shape up. If someone copied everything you did, would they end up ‘at’ Jesus? You...

DIVINE SUPPLY

“For I will pour water on him who is thirsty, and floods on the dry ground; I will pour My Spirit on your descendants, And My blessing on your offspring…” ~ Isaiah 44:3a   REFERENCE: Isaiah 44:1-3   Welcome to a new month. I hear the spirit of God say that He will give ‘Divine Supply’ to His children this month. He wants to supply you according to His riches in glory through Christ, and I can bet you that God has all you need and more. His compassionate nature and the sacrifice of Jesus are your qualifications for His divine...

HOPE AGAINST HOPE

“Who against hope believed in hope, that he might become the father of many nations, according to that which was spoken, So shall thy seed be.” ~ Romans 4:18 KJV   REFERENCE: Romans 4:18-21 (KJV)   Abraham has forever earned a spot in Faith’s Hall of Fame. It is easy to read about him today and not fully understand his situation when he hoped or believed in God for a son. It is easy to have hope for something that we know is possible, but when all signs show that it is impossible, hope is hard. Abraham had no reason to...

I WILL RETURN TO YOU

“Is anything too hard for the Lord? At the appointed time I will return to you, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.” ~ Genesis 18:14   REFERENCE: Genesis 18:9-15   The picture that comes to my mind is that of a young man who is about to leave his fiancée to travel abroad to study for four years. She is worried and uncertain about the future of their relationship if he would still marry her considering the ‘exposure’ to other ladies abroad. But he assures her thus, “I will keep my words, I will return...
