THE CORPSE THAT COULDN’T STAY DEAD
JOHN 11:1-3,14,15,21- NOW A CERTAIN MAN, WAS SICK, NAMED LAZARUS OF BETHANY, THE TOWN OF MARY AND HER SISTER MARTHA.
IT WAS THAT MARY WHICH ANOINTED THE LORD WITH OINTMENT, AND WIPED HIS FEET WITH HER HAIR, WHOSE BROTHER LAZARUS WAS SICK.
THEREFORE HIS SISTERS SENT UNTO HIM SAYING, LORD BEHOLD, HE WHOM THOU LOVEST IS SICK.
THEN SAID JESUS UNTO THEM PLAINLY, LAZARUS IS DEAD.
AND I AM GLAD FOU YOUR SAKES THAT I WAS NOT THERE, TO THE INTENT YE MAY BELIEVE: NEVERTHELESS LET US GO UNTO HIM.
THEN SAID MARTHA UNTO JESUS, LORD, IF THOU HADST BEEN HERE, MY BROTHER HAD NOT DIED.
MARTHA’S FAITH STOPPED AT THE DEATH OF HER BROTHER. THE GRAVE WAS THE END OF HER FAITH. HER FAITH WAS LIMITED TO SEEING HER BROTHER’S BREATH.
MANY OF US CAN ONLY BELIEVE IF WE SEE, BUT THE KIND OF FAITH THE LORD WANT’S US TO WALK AND LIVE IN, IS A FAITH THAT DOESN’T HAVE TO SEE TO BELIEVE.
EVERY DREAM, EVERY VISION THAT SEEMS TO BE DEAD CAN BE RESURRECTED. THE LIFELESS VISION IS JUST A FAITH AWAY FROM WAKING UP AND COMING ALIVE.
THEY WERE HAVING A WAKE BEFORE JESUS ARRIVED. THEY WERE WATCHING THE BODY BEFORE BURIAL, THATS WHAT WE CALL A WAKE. PEOPLE WATCH DEAD DREAM’S , VISION’S, AND DEAD PURPOSES, AND THEY LOOK AT THEM AND SAY ISN’T THAT A PRETTY CORPSE. I THOUGHT THIS VISION WAS FROM GOD BUT IT’S DEAD, I GUESS IT WAS JUST MY THOUGHT’S, SO I WRAPPED IT UP AND BURIED IT. WE HAD A GOOD FUNERAL.
WHAT WE NEED IS NOT EVERBODY COMING TO A WAKE TO TALK ABOUT THE DEATH OF A VISION, BUT WE NEED TO CAUSE AN AWAKENING THAT CAUSES A SHAKING IN THE GRAVEYARD OF DESERTED VISIONS.
FAITH DOESN’T STOP WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS DEAD. I HAVE ALMOST BURIED VISIONS THAT GOD GAVE ME AND THEY SEEMED TO BE DEAD. BUT OUR FAITH MUST NOT BE LIMITED TO WHAT WE SEE, OR FEEL.
FAITH MUST NOT STOP WHEN SOMETHING LOOKS DEAD. THE STONE THAT HAS BEEN ROLLED TO THE TOMB HAS TO BE MOVED. THE STONE HAS TO BE MOVED FROM THE PAGES OF THE BIBLE TO THE PAGES OF OUR HEART. THEN WE HAVE THE FAITH THAT DOESN’T STOP AT THE DEATH OF SOMETHING, BUT IS UNLIMITED FAITH.
FAITH COMETH BY HEARING AND HEARING BY THE WORD OF GOD. WE SPEAK TO THE VISION, VISION COME FORTH, LET MY VISION BE LOOSED IN JESUS’ NAME. I REFUSE TO ACCEPT THE DEATH OF MY VISION, RESURRECTION AND LIFE TO MY VISION IN JESUS NAME.
THE BLESSING OF THE FAITHFUL
GENESIS 5:24 AND ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD AND HE WAS NOT: FOR GOD TOOK HIM.
ENOCH WALKED WITH GOD 300 YEAR’S.
HE RECEIVED TWO REVELATIONS, HE NAMED HIS CHILD METHUSELAH, WHICH MEANS, WHEN HE IS DEAD THE FLOOD WILL COME.
THE OTHER REVELATION IS RECORDED IN THE BOOK OF JUDE.
JUDE 14 AND ENOCH ALSO THE SEVENTH FROM ADAM, PROPHESIED OF THESE, SAYING, BEHOLD, THE LORD COMETH WITH TEN THOUSANDS OF HIS SAINTS.
HE SAW THE RETURN OF JESUS, THE MESSIAH WITH AN INDEFINITE NUMBER, ENOCH INCLUDED.
ENOCH WAS FAITHFUL TO GOD, HE WALKED WITH HIM 300 YEARS, AND GOD BLESSED HIS FAITHFULNESS.
NOAH PREACHED AND BUILT AN ARK, FOR 120 YEARS NOAH WAS FAITHFUL TO THE LORD, TO PREACH HIS MESSAGE,ONLY EIGHT WAS SAVED FROM THE JUDGEMENT. NOAH FOUND GRACE IN THE EYE’S OF THE LORD.
GOD IS AN ALL SEEING EYE, HE HAS GREAT GRACE OR ENDURING POWER FOR THE FAITHFUL.
GOD HAS BLESSINGS FOR THE FAITHFUL.
MOSES WAS CHOSEN BY GOD TO DELIVER THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL FROM EGYPT.
MOSES FIRST ATTEMPT LOOKED LIKE A FAILURE, BUT GOD HAD PLANS FOR MOSES.
MOSES HAD TO FAITHFULLY WAIT ON THE BACKSIDE OF THE DESERT. IT KIND OF LOOKED LIKE GOD HAD FORGOTTEN HIM. GOD WAS GROOMING HIM FOR HIS ASSIGNMENT.
GOD ALWAYS HAS A BURNING BUSH FOR THE FAITHFUL. HE CAME AFTER MOSES AND BLESSED HIM WITH HIS PRESENCE. MOSES BECAME WHAT GOD HAD ORGINALLY INTENDED HIM TO BECOME GOD’S MAN FOR THE HOUR.
CAN YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU WERE BORN FOR SUCH A TIME AS THIS, BE FAITHFUL TO GOD AND WAIT ON YOUR VISION.
HANNAH WAITED ON GOD AND GOT A SAMUEL. ANYTHING GOD HAS FOR US IS WORTH WAITING ON. A BLESSING WILL OVERTAKE US IF WE ARE FAITHFUL.
JOSEPH HAD A DREAM, BUT HE HAD TO WAIT. FROM REJECTION, TO THE PIT, TO BE A SERVANT, TO BE AN INMATE IN PRISON, TO THE SECOND IN AUTHORITY IN THE GREAT KINGDOM OF EGYPT.
GOD TOLD ABRAHAM HIS SEED WOULD BE CARRIED INTO ANOTHER NATION, AT THE TIME ABRAHAM DIDN’T EVEN HAVE A CHILD. BUT ABRAHAM WAITED ON GOD WITH FAITHFULNESS, AND HERE WE SEE GOD FULFILLING THE PROPHECY. JOSEPH THE CHILD OF JACOB, IN EGYPT.
GOD DOESN’T FORGET HIS PROMISES. THE FAITHFUL ALWAYS WIN. THE FAITHFUL ARE ALWAYS BLESSED.
WINNER’S ARE LOSER’S THAT NEVER QUIT. CHAMPIONS ARE PEOPLE THAT NEVER GIVE UP, REGARDLESS OF HOW ROUGH IT GETS AND HOW BAD IT LOOKS THEY JUST REFUSE TO QUIT.
DAVID WAS ANOINTED KING BY SAMUEL, BUT HE HAD TO ENDURE SAUL TRYING TO KILL HIM.
DAVID NEVER QUIT, AND NEVER TRIED TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. WHEN GOD SEES THE FAITHFUL, HE WILL MAKE IT HAPPEN IN HIS TIMING AND NOBODY CAN STOP IT.
DON’T GIVE UP, THE FAITHFUL ARE ALWAYS BLESSED.
