WITH US

PRAISE THE LORD

"The virgin will be with child and give birth to a son, and they will call Him Immanuel"
which means," God with us."

Thank you LORD for never leaving us nor forsaking us.

The Lord Jesus said, If anyone loves me, he will believe my teaching. My Father will love him, and we will come and make our home with him.

Those who do not love me will not believe my teaching.
What I am saying is not my opinion but this is what The Father wants known.

The Lord doesn't dwell in buildings made of brick but He lives in the hearts of his own.
The building can be torn down, the wall can be taken down but Christ and His kingdom cannot be moved.

The things of The Kingdom can't be shaken by earthquakes, storms, or war.
The things that can be shaken will be shook so that those things that cannot be shaken, shall remain.

See that you do not refuse Christ with your teaching of a new method.
The reason men were healed by Christ and His disciples had nothing to do with the method that they used.

Christ is not a method or a formula.
He is God.
He changes not.

A man is healed by faith.
It is your faith in Christ and by His stripes.
It is through Jesus Christ taking the punishment that was meant for you that you are healed.

There is no other method or any other way.
You could spit on dirt and make a salve and rub it on the eyes of men.
You could bend down and write in the dirt.
You could tell a man to go and dip in the Jordan.
You could lay atop a child ill.

But without faith in the blood the method is madness.


Insanity defined is this.
Any who reject Christ as The Only Way, The Only Truth, The Only Life.

There is no new method.
You are looking for signs and because you are looking to be entertained by numbers you will never believe.
There is the same old devil who is still defeated and still under our feet.

When Jesus healed the officials son the man asked the Lord to come to the place where his son was before he died.

The LORD told the man, You may go, Your son will live.

What did the man do?
Did he search for the method or the salve or the water or the dirt?

The man took Jesus at His Word and left.
he returned home the following day to learn that his sons fever had left him at same hour that he had taken The LORD at His WORD.

In John chapter 11 there was a man named Lazarus a friend of God who was sick.
He was the brother of Martha and Mary, Mary who had sat the LORD's feet and anointed Him with oil.
The sisters sent for the LORD saying" The one you love is sick."

When the Lord heard the news, He declared, " This sickness will not end in death. No it will be used for God's glory, and God's Son will be glorified in it.

See the weapon can be and it will be formed, But God will take the arrow and bend it and work it for His righteousness.

Can y'all hear what The Spirit of The Lord is saying?

The Lord loved the family of Martha, Mary and Lazarus but he didn't go immediately, He stayed where he was for two more days.

Proving a point, this is not a method.
Then He went with His disciples to Judea.

His disciples were worried because the religious had tried to stone the Lord in that place and they wanted to know why are you going back to an area where they tried to kill you.
Why are you revisiting this place LORD, let Lazarus lay.
Let sick dogs lie, if he is sleep he'll get better, why risk your self?

The Lord had to say, Lazarus is dead, and for your sake I am glad that I wasn't there, so that you may believe.
Lets go.

Lazarus had been in the tomb for four days.
When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went out to meet Him but Mary stayed at home.

Martha went out to complain but her complaint wasn't the usual one, she had developed a small amount of faith this time.
Mary had been talking to Martha because Mary had sat at the feet of Jesus and had some Word in her.

Lord, Martha said to Jesus, If you had been here, my brother would not have died.
But I know that even now God will give you whatever you ask.

This woman's brother is really dead, four days dead, not his heart stopped for 3 minutes and they used a defibrillator and brought him back.
Real dead, four days dead wrapped in graves clothes put in a tomb dead like Jesus to was be later.

Jesus said to Martha, Your brother will rise again.

Martha answered, I know he will rise again in the resurrection at the last day.

Jesus said, I am The resurrection and The Life. He who believes In Me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in Me will never die. Do you believe this?

Martha said, yes LORD, she told Him, I believe that you are the anointed One, The Son Of God, who was come into the world.

After she said that she called for her sister Mary and told her The Teacher is here and is asking for you.

I don't have time today to go into the significance of all that this means.
The Holy Spirit wants to point out and to Christ.

Mary came and fell at the LORD's feet saying the same thing Martha said, LORD if you had been here....

The LORD said, Where have you laid him?

The Lord went to the tomb and said, Roll away the stone.

Mary begins to speak doubt saying it's been four days.

The Lord has to speak to her again, don't look at the method, don't look at the formula, don't look at the circumstance, look at Me Mary.

Jesus said, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

What did the liar and pride say?
Who cares?

Jesus said, "Didn't I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?"

You may have heard it said, But I say!

Did The Christ not tell you any who believe on the Name of Jesus would be saved.
Did Jesus Christ say that when you call on Him that you would be delivered?

So they took away the stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, Father, I thank You that you have heard me. I know that you always hear me, but I say this for the benefit of the people standing here, that they may believe that You sent me.

Jehovah 'Anah, The God that hears and who speaks and answers, The God that dwells in me.

Hallelujah!

When the Lord finished His prayer, he called in a loud voice, LAZARUS, COME OUT!

The dead man came out bound in grave clothes.

The LORD Jesus said to them, Take off the grave clothes and let him go.

Not a new method but by believing in Christ whom the Father sent to set the captives free.

It's by The Blood Of Christ and not of the prophets or the law.

Faith is this: regardless of what is happening or what is being said, you trust God.

Let men believe in their methods but you put your trust in Jesus and be healed today.
Over and over and over again you trust the Blood of Jesus to deliver you.
This is something that you can do over and over and over again and expect a God result.

The salt of the earth stops the spread of corruption.
If you knew my LORD, you would know me, but you don't know Him so you hate me.

Father I thank You this day that your truth goes forth and it accomplishes, In The Authority given me by Christ Jesus My LORD.

So Be It.

God is with you and He dwells in His own.
Your faith in Jesus and His finished work is there to glorify Him and His Father.
The methods of men are put in place to glorify men.

God With Us.
Amen.
