Easter 2012

Matt 16: 15. He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am?
16. And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, (anointed, i.e. the Messiah) the Son of the living God.
Who do you say HE is?
　
　
Easter
Why do we have Easter
Celebrate the resurrection of Jesus the Christ
The day that Jesus rose from the dead.
The day our eyes were opened to the fact that He was resurrected
and was the Messiah, the Christ of Old Testament Prophecy
The stone across the door of the tomb was rolled away, and why was it rolled away.. Did Jesus need the stone moved to come out when resurrected? NO.. more than one time He appeared in a room with solid walls…the stone was moved so that we could see that HE WAS NOT THERE…..and open our eyes to the fact that He was resurrected for US.
The day HE went to take keys of
Rev 1: 18. I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.
“from the enemy”
Brought Freedom to those in Paradise as they came out of Paradise and it is no more!
Matt 27: 51. And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;
52. And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,
53. And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.
The Beginning of Total Forgiveness
A BIG TRUTH that you will have to understand and remember is that the payment for DEATH can only be accomplished through giving LIFE and this LIFE is in the BLOOD (because without BLOOD there could be no LIFE). As such without pouring out this BLOOD, there could be no payment for SIN (which is Death).
"If No Blood is Shed, No Sins Can be Forgiven." - Hebrews 9:22
Heb 9; 11. But Christ being come an high priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this building;
12. Neither by the blood of goats and calves, but by his own blood he entered in once into the holy place, having obtained eternal redemption for us.
Jesus took HIS Blood to the heavenly Holy of Holies and put it on the Mercy Seat for our total forgiveness…and that we can be Totally Forgiven and also to enter bodly into the presence of our Father.
IF WE SIN THAN!
1 John 1: 9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The Day of Forgiving
Mark 11: 25. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
Matt 5: 23. Therefore if thou bring thy gift to the altar, and there rememberest that thy brother hath ought against thee;
24. Leave there thy gift before the altar, and go thy way; first be reconciled to thy brother, and then come and offer thy gift.
IT is time for all of us to begin a new book in our lives, Start living the Path that Jesus has laid out for each of us….AMEN!

The Power to get

God wants you to remember that HE bought your last meal. God has instructed me to remind you that HE purchased your clothes. It is GOD who pays your bills and GOD who will bless you with a home. GOD said you will never lack, even for a loaf of bread. (Deuteronomy 8:6-14)
THERE IS ONE ANONINTING THAT GOD GIVES THAT MOST PREACHERS ARE EMBARRASSED TO PREACH ABOUT!
“But thou shalt remember the LORD thy GOD: For it is HE that giveth thee POWER TO GET WEALTH, that HE may establish HIS covenant which HE sware unto thy fathers, as it is this day.” (Deuteronomy 8:18)
Did you know that GOD has an anointing that will bring you wealth? There is an anointing to get wealth and there are six words that tell us why GOD gives this ability:
“THAT HE MAY ESTABLISH HIS COVENANT”
There is a DIVINE purpose in prosperity.
Now, here are three powerful facts as to why this power is available to you as a Christian, today!
GOD DOES NOT CHANGE!
WE ARE THE SEED OF ABRAHAM AND HEIRS TO THE PROMISE.
THE COVENANT OF GOD IS ETERNAL.
God spoke to the prophet Malachi these words:
“FOR I AM THE LORD, I CHANGE NOT:” (Malachi 3:6)
If God said in Deuteronomy 8:18, HE gave power to get wealth some three thousand years ago, then, since HE cannot change, HE STILL GIVES THAT SAME POWER TODAY!
God promised Abraham and all the fathers of the covenant certain blessings. What Abraham received in promise and what Moses and the children of Israel were reminded of by the covenant, is still true today! GOD CANNOT CHANGE!!!
The apostle Paul taught that the Christian’s inheritance was part of the promise given to Abraham in covenant.
“KNOW YE THEREFORE THAT THEY WHICH ARE OF FAITH, THE SAME ARE THE CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM.”
“THAT THE BLESSINGS OF ABRAHAM MIGHT COME ON THE GENTILES THROUGH JESUS CHRIST: THAT WE MIGHT RECEIVE THE PROMISE OF THE SPIRIT THROUGH FAITH.”
“AND IF YE BE CHRIST’S, THEN ARE YE ABRAHAM’S SEED, AND HEIRS ACCORDING TO THE PROMISE.” (Galatians 3:7, 14, 29)
Well, I am not ashamed to say that I am Christ’s. Plainly, the New Testament teaches that Christians are the “CHILDREN OF ABRAHAM” and we are the “HEIRS” of GOD’S covenant in Deuteronomy 8:18!
The cries of the damned are louder in the ears of GOD, more than the selfish pleas for cars, diamonds, and money that many claim are their right. GOD does not mind you having things or HIS children prospering, but the ultimate purpose is to ESTABLISH HIS COVENANT IN THE EARTH!
JESUS admonished us of the direct link between HIS return and the establishing of the kingdom through the preaching of the gospel in every nation.
“And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in ALL THE WORLD for a witness unto ALL NATIONS; and THEN SHALL THE END COME.” (Matthew 24:14)
GOD GIVES WEALTH AND THE POWER TO GET IT THAT THE GOSPEL MIGHT BE PREACHED IN ALL NATIONS OF THE WORLD!

Keep your eyes on HIM

Keep your eyes on HIM
IN FAITH BELIEVING
Exod. 3: MOSES
11. And Moses said unto God, Who am I, that I should go unto Pharaoh, and that I should bring forth the children of Israel out of Egypt?
12. And he said, Certainly I will be with thee;
14. And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you.
3/11-2 Moses asked who is he that he could persuade Pharaoh to let the Israelites go and God said that I will be with you!
HE would go with Noah to supply all that was needed to make the order (mission) a success!
Exodus 4
1. And Moses answered and said, But, behold, they will not believe me, nor hearken unto my voice: for they will say, The Lord hath not appeared unto thee.
2. And the Lord said unto him, What is that in thine hand? And he said, A rod.
10. And Moses said unto the Lord, O my Lord, I am not eloquent, neither heretofore, nor since thou hast spoken unto thy servant: but I am slow of speech, and of a slow tongue.
14. And the anger of the Lord was kindled against Moses, and he said, Is not Aaron the Levite thy brother? I know that he can speak well. And also, behold, he cometh forth to meet thee: and when he seeth thee, he will be glad in his heart.
4/2 What ever you have that you are willing to let God use HE will and Moses Rod is a good example..
5/10 Excuses as to why HE/WE can not do what God has called us to do.
5/11 We have no excuse as God will provide what we are (or think we are lacking) lacking in.
I AM! (3/14) who is or what does I AM mean?
Here is what came forth in a vision.
I am the life that is in Creation. I am even the life in my enemies. All that exists does so through ME! I am the Alpha and the Omega, I am the Beginning and the God of all things, there is no truth or reality apart from me. It is not just the reality of this place, that you seek but the reality of my presence.
Judges 6: GIDEON
12. And the angel of the Lord appeared unto him, and said unto him, The Lord is with thee, thou mighty man of valour.
14. And the Lord looked upon him, and said, Go in this thy might, and thou shalt save Israel from the hand of the Midianites: have not I sent thee?
15. And he said unto him, Oh my Lord, wherewith shall I save Israel?
16. And the Lord said unto him, Surely I will be with thee, and thou shalt smite the Midianites as one man.
36. And Gideon said unto God, If thou wilt save Israel by mine hand, as thou hast said,
37. Behold, I will put a fleece of wool in the floor;
Chapter 7: Gideon had an army of over 32,000 and God told Gideon that the army was too large and put them to a test and of the people twenty and two thousand; and there remained ten thousand. Than God had Gideon give the 10,000 an drinking test and all but 300 were sent home!
7. And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you,
Sometimes God gives you a task that seems impossible to you, but if we listen to what He is telling us and obey, it will work out to our good. But we must keep our eyes and our faith on Him, not on our own ability.
Matt; 14 PETER
Matt 14; 28. And Peter answered him and said, Lord, if it be thou, bid me come unto thee on the water.
29. And he said, Come. And when Peter was come down out of the ship, he walked on the water, to go to Jesus.
30. But when he saw the wind boisterous, he was afraid; and beginning to sink, he cried, saying, Lord, save me.
31. And immediately Jesus stretched forth his hand, and caught him, and said unto him, O thou of little faith, wherefore didst thou doubt?
32. And when they were come into the ship, the wind ceased.
Again as in the case of the other two, the Lord called Peter, and like us we start foreword and somewhere along the line we take our eyes off HIM and start to sink…
There are two choices (three if you consider not getting out of the boat to start with), than we can sink, and many do, or we can reach out to Jesus as Peter did
What is God trying to tell us by these three stories??
Remember this to start!
Matt: 9: 26. But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.
Attention, to what this is saying…
YOU ARE-
Small and inadequate, you will never be able to speak or hear me, if you are looking to yourself. You will always be unworthy for what I have called you to do>
IT will never be your areaway or worthiness that causes me to use you, you must not look at your inadequacy But look at MY Adequacy, Stop looking at your won unworthiness and look at m Righteousness. When you are used, it is because of Who I am, not who you are.
His requirement is your availability not you abilities!
