FINALL, MY BRETHREN, BE STRONG IN THE LORD, AND IN THE POWER OF HIS MIGHT.
THE BIG QUESTION
THE BIG QUESTION
Do you often experience times when you feel spiritually weak? You're doing everything you know to do: Reading your Bible, praying, going to church, and seeking the face of God! You are also wearing the FULL Armour of God. But, you still feel spiritually drained! You know that you won't stop doing all of the above, and you know God is by your side, because he says "He will never leave you nor forsake you! (Hebrews 13:5)" I know I have! Until I learned how powerful His Mighty Hand is, and how to experience His virtue from "His Mighty Hand."
HOW MIGHTY IS HE
Take a look around at everything God has created. You can see everything, and smell everything He created. Then you can see how mighty His hand is.
You have to ask yourself! - Am I capable of creating this entire universe? - Am I capable of creating every living creature on the planet Earth? - Am I capable of creating man and woman in God's own image, and creating man's body out of the dust of the earth, and capable of creating woman's body out of man's rib - simply by speaking it into existence, and with His power of His hand? NO!
PSALMS 100:3
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
PSALMS 100:3
Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.
We can't do anything on our own with out the power of God - with out God's Virtue, and without hearing God's voice! God spoke everything into existence: with the power of His voice, with the power of His word, with the power of His hand - His Virtue!
PSALMS 95:3-7
3) For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. 4) In his hand are the deep places of the earth: The strength of the hills is his also. 5) The sea is his, and he made it: and his hands formed the dry land. 6) O come, let us worship and bow down: let us kneel before the Lord our maker. 7) For he is our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. To day if ye will hear his voice.
HIS VIRTUE
Here we have a perfect example! The woman with the issue of blood. There were thousands of people around Jesus. But, this woman believed if she could just touch the hem of Jesus' garment she would be healed. Now this was no easy task. She had to get close enough to Jesus, without getting trampled on by all these people following Jesus. She finally gets close enough to Jesus - gets down on the ground, reaches to touch His garment - JUST A TOUCH! Then BAM! She feels her issue of blood dry up!
Now, Jesus feels His Virtue leave His body. He stops, and says "Who touch my clothes!" I'm sure He felt a tug on his clothes! But, most importantly He felt His virtue leave His body - His power. You know, I always wondered why Jesus wanted to know who His Virtue touched. Don't you? I mean, why not just let it be, and keep walking! She believed she received her healing already because her blood dried up! So, was she also content with that too!? But, she didn't run away.
Jesus knew all she did was touch his garment, and she knew all she did was touch His garment too! Jesus wanted to see her! So, Jesus looked for her. Jesus wanted to hear her voice. She was afraid! As if, she took something without permission. She also knew she experienced the power of God, and that Jesus was the power of God. There was no way she could have received her miracle unless it was the power of God - the creator of Heaven, and earth.
The woman is still afraid, but doesn't run away. She's trembling, falls at Jesus' feet, and confesses all that she had done. Jesus said to her "THY FAITH has made you whole; GO IN PEACE, and be whole of thy plague. She was ecstatic, she was now at peace, and no longer afraid! Not only, did she know she received her miracle, but Jesus confirmed it to her with His voice - His words.
This woman experienced more than healing. She recognized God. She wanted something she knew she couldn't get from any one on the face of this planet. She experienced God's Virtue! She wanted God's Virtue. WOW!
Jesus wanted to see her face - and she wanted to see God's face through Jesus. Jesus wanted to hear her voice - and she wanted to hear God's voice through Jesus - Jesus wanted to see His virtue in her - and she wanted, and received God's virtue through Jesus. WOW!
JESUS WANTED TO SEE WHO WAS SEEKING AFTER HIM AND HE WANTED TO SEEK AFTER HER
THIS JESUS UNDERSTOOD - IT WAS HIS LANGUAGE
MARK 5:25-34
25) And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, 27) When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. 28) For she said, if I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. 29) And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague. 30) And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that VIRTUE had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said Who touched my clothes? 32) And he looked around about to see her that had done this thing. 33) But, the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. 34) And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.
HIS VIRTUE IN US
THE PERFECT EQUATION
Jesus is a complete gift. He gives us ALL things that pertain unto life AND godliness (HIS VIRTUE) through knowledge of Him - that you get from seeking after Him. His reward to you is His glory, and His virtue. His glory and virtue comes with great promises of being able to partake of His divine nature. His divine nature gave you His power, and strength to escape the corruption of the world through lust (sin) through spiritual strength, His spiritual strength in you.
With this, God gives you the determination. He, says "add to your faith virtue (faith in Him, and His virtue - they are inseparable!) and to His virtue, knowledge of Him - His knowledge - His mindset - His language. And, to temperance patience. Become master of patience. Back to godliness again, brotherly kindness; and brotherly kindness charity (love) (it's all inseparable) - His virtue flowing through us to others to receive the same gift he gave to us.
2 PETER 1:3-7
3) According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4) Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust. 5) and beside this, giving all diligence, add to your faith virtue; and to virtue knowledge; 6) And to knowledge temperance; and to temperance patience; and to patience godliness; 7) And to godliness brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness charity.
EXPERIENCE THE TOUCH OF HIS MIGHTY HAND
CHASE AFTER HIS VIRTUE
PHILIPPIANS 4:8
Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
PRAYER OF SALVATION
If you don't know as your Lord, and Savior, receive Him now! Just ask Him into your heart. Ask Him to forgive you of your sins - (your wrong doings.)
ROMANS 10:13 - For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
