MY SUNDAY COMMENTARY, 4/7/13

TOPIC: THE GREAT COMMISSION

SCRIPTURES: ALL COMING FROM THE KING JAMES VERSION, 2003 EDITION

Matthew 28:16-20 Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them. And when they saw…

When you pass  through the waters, I will be with you: and through the rivers, they shell not overflow you. When you walk through the, fire, you shall not be  burned , nor shall the flame  scorch you... Behold, I  will do a new thing... 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: ... No weapon formed against you shall prosper.

The prophetic voice of the Old Testament promised both the Savior and the Spirit. When Jesus died on the cross, there came from His side water and blood, the elements of birth. The blood speaks of the new birth available to every believer, and the water speaks of Spirit-empowered Word of God that birthed the church. As Christ's death the veil of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom, and resurrected believers were seen after Christ's resurrection ( Matt. 27:50-53 ) The barrier…

God was there all the time when we were going through whatever we went through. If He had not been, we would have literally lost our minds. God waited patiently for us to come to ourselves; for us to finally yield to the tugging on our heart strings from Him. So, let us wait patiently on Him for whatever we need Him to do as He waited patiently for us to accept His Son. Remember, no matter how out of control you life seems to be, God is yet in control of it; His grace is sufficient to see…

I am busy with the lord's work and enduring strife-full people at a factory job ! I have worked factory jobs for well over 15 years and have met so many deliberately difficult people, for anyone else in this situation HERE is JOHN 15 for you to read , to learn, and to memorize ;

The Gospel according to St. John 15 Jesus the True Vine 1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman. 2 Every branch in me that beareth not fruit he taketh away: and every branch that beareth…

Dearly Beloved,

DO YOU RECOGNIZE HIM?

“‘Woman," [Jesus] said, ‘why are you crying? Who is it you are looking for?’ Thinking he was the gardener, [Mary Magdalene] said, "Sir, if you have carried him away, tell me where you have put him, and I will get him’” (John 20:15 NIV).

This year Easter season has come and gone, but many lessons are to be learnt from the events that surrounded the season. One of the lessons has to do with Mary Magdalene. Here was a woman that once…

 HE IS NOT ON THE CROSS, OR THE TOMB.

   HE IS RISEN AND REIGNS ON THE THRONE.

     HE CAME, HE SAW AND CONQUERED FOR ME.

The Message of Easter Day to men is the promise of a new and nobler life. Men may die out of a meaner self here and now, into a nobler self, if so they will. And this is the pledge that the offer of Christ to humanity shall find, yet…

For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the fulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places'' ( Eph. 6:12 ). The word of Jesus' day greeted His message and commitment to His call from God with hostility. Rarely did a day or night go by when He did not face opposition and adversity. In virtually every crowd, someone questioned His motives and sought to discredit Him. He was harassed and…

The path Jesus would lead the disciples to follow began with a profession of faith in Him  When Jesus called  Andrew and Peter to follow Him,  Jesus meant first they were to love and follow Him both with their hearts and with their lives. Faith as Jesus defined it is more than mental acceptance of creeds or standards. Faith is a living and life-changing experience that lays a foundation for transformation.  A personal profession of faith is also a platform  from which leaders can  help…

The Lord has resurrected.  The resurrection power of the Lord has delivered us from the hands of the devil and has given us eternal life, salvation and dominion over the devil.  Thank you Jesus for your blood you shed for us on the cross of Calvary for us.  Amen!!!
