He is Still at Work
Soon afterward he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a great crowd went with him. As he drew near to the gate of the town, behold, a man who had died was being carried out, the only son of his mother, and she was a widow, and a considerable crowd from the town was with her. And when the Lord saw her, he had compassion on her and said to her, "Do not weep." Then he came up and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, "Young man, I say to you, arises." And the dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother. Fear seized them all, and they glorified God, saying, "A great prophet has arisen among us!" and "God has visited his people! Luke 7:11-16

This is the grace of God in action! I don’t know if you ever meditated on the passage before, that widow was on her way to burry her only son. It was over by all accounts; and she got an unexpected miracle. We are serving a God full of compassion for His people. He rewards us when we least expect it, that is why it is so important to seek His Kingdom first. We can trust Him to take care of our dearest needs. Jesus told her "Do not weep" and He is also telling the same thing this morning. He hears your cry, He loves you. He wants to touch your situation. You have been crying long enough. You have been carrying this pain way too long. Would you put it on God capable hand this morning? His compassion has not changed. He loves you just the same. What He did for the widow, He is still willing to do for you. Will you please trust Him this morning? Bring your trouble to Him once and for all, and leave it at His feet. Your days of sadness, fear and worry are over, praise God; we are serving a compassionate, living God.
Our Miracle worker has not yet retired and nothing is impossible to Him. He cares about the mountains of your life as well as the little disturbances. He wants you to have the victory in all circumstances. You may bring all of your trouble to Him. He cares about your soul, he cares your health, and the math exam you are about to take, as well as your loneliness. His plan is for you to walk in victory, praise God!
As you leave home for work this morning, I pray that you feel highly favored and victorious in Jesus name, because you are indeed blessed, victorious, son/daughter of the Almighty. You don't have any trouble; all you need is faith in your maker, your father.
Praise the Lord!

It Shall Be Done!
"If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.” John 15:7

Christians often forget that the Lord Jesus Christ urges us not to worry because if they let Him (hangout with them) live inside of them, then they can ask for anything and it will have to happen, it will be done. Praise the Lord! To really understand this verse, you have to go back and read the 13th chapter of John. Jesus was approaching His sacrificial death for you and I, and it must have been a difficult time because He loved the disciples, He knew He was about to leave them and He also knew that both Judas and Simon would betray Him, and yet He seizes the moment for some much needed teaching. It is one of the most beautiful chapters of the Bible. Jesus wanted to be sure that the disciples would not despair and know what to do once He was gone. That’s how much Jesus loves us! He wanted you and I to know, even though He is no longer living as a man among us, we can still have access to everything He is and everything He has to offer. The disciples did not understand it at the time, but you and I have to realize that there is no need in our lives bigger then God. Let’s read the text again, Jesus, Our Lord and savior did not ask us to bring (some, a few) of our requests to Him, but He said ask for “whatever’ ‘anything’ and it will be done. Now, if this does not encourage you, I don’t know what will.
I understand that the church makes the word of God to difficult to grasp but there is nothing sophisticated about it. We don’t need a theology degree to understand that Jesus promises to grant all of our requests, as long as we let him lives inside of us. There is no trick about this. It is really quite simple, but can one abides in Christ unless he/she is saved? No! To start enjoying a loving relationship with Christ, you have to admit that you are a sinner. Therefore, unless you believe in Jesus Who died in your place, you will spend eternity in Hell. If you believe on Him as your crucified, buried, and risen Savior, you receive forgiveness for all of your sins and His gift of eternal salvation by faith. It is really this simple. The beauty of it is that you can make this decision right where you are now. Friend, don’t let another day go by, make the decision now. This week alone a few notable people have left this earth suddenly. Even if you were to be blessed with many more years on this earth, wouldn’t you want to live with Christ? Don’t you want to experience this burden free relationship? My relationships with people have always been complicated from childhood to my adulthood, the only reliable, secure relationship I have known is the one with Jesus Christ and you too can start this incredible journey by making the decision to let Jesus Christ into your life right now. There is no waiting period, you make the decision and instantly become part of God’s family and the heir of the greatest kingdom, the Kingdom of God, and Jesus will now reside in you and you in Him and whatever you ask him shall be done.
Praise the Lord!
