Jesus does not want to be in your heart and life He wants to own it and rule it well…

 

I say unto you, that unto every one that hath (faithfulness) shall be given; but from him that hath not (no faithfulness), even that which he hath shall be taken away from him. But these mine enemies, that would not that I should reign over them, bring hither, and slay them before me...Luke 19:26-27.

 

If any man cometh unto me, and hateth not his own father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. Whosoever doth not bear his own cross (burden to be a Christian), and come after me, cannot be my disciple...Luke 14:26-27.

 

…having the eyes of your heart enlightened, that ye may know what is the hope of his calling, what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the saints, and what the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to that working of the strength of his might which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and made him to sit at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule, and authority, and power, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come: and he put all things in subjection under his feet, and gave him to be head over all things to the church, which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all...Ephesians 1:18-23.

 

Jesus must be supreme ruler of your heart mind souls and spirits. Jesus does not just want to be in your life He wants to rule it will. Jesus does not want to be in your heart He wants to own and rule it. Will you give all to Jesus in repentance and follow the revealed truth by doing what is good right and true? Jesus has to be first place in your life…He is enthroned above and is the head of the church do not put anyone above Him.

 

Prayer

Father we surrender all to Jesus and ask He would rule us well we bring not an offering of money but our hearts and minds and lives and offer these to Him please meet our needs and grant us repentance…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

Jesus heals someone who asked…sought…and knocked on His door…

Jesus heals someone who asked…sought…and knocked on His door…

As he drew near to Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the roadside begging. And hearing a crowd going by, he inquired what this meant. They told him, “Jesus of Nazareth is passing by.” And he cried out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” And those who were in front rebuked him, telling him to be silent. But he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” And Jesus stopped and commanded him to be brought to him. And when he came near, he asked him, “What do you want me to do for you?” He said, “Lord, let me recover my sight.” And Jesus said to him, “Recover your sight; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he recovered his sight and followed him, glorifying God. And all the people, when they saw it, gave praise to God...Luke 18:35-43.


This blind beggar could not find a door but Jesus is the door to heaven. Hears about Jesus and He close by even walking by. He thinks this is good news all I have to do is get and audience with Jesus just to be heard. This blind man keeps calling on Jesus until he had a chance to ask Jesus let me recover my sight…and Jesus being full of grace and truth granted his unceasing request. He would not stop calling out to Jesus! Jesus knew what he wanted but ask what do you want me to do for you? Then after being healed he followed Jesus. May we all have a break through…and follow Jesus


We can ask Jesus in prayer in fact Jesus said ask…seek…knock and door will be opened unto you. When is the last time you called on Jesus for something you prayed about without ceasing?


Prayer

Father I ask you would heal us from our sin and infirmities…I ask that you would hear us and grant our requests for healing that we have been asking and seeking waiting for the door to be opened…please open the door and come heal us…in Jesus of Nazareth’s name amen.

A short devotional on the Unjust Judge in the last of days…

A short devotional on the Unjust Judge in the last of days…

And he told them a parable to the effect that they ought always to pray and not lose heart. He said, “In a certain city there was a judge who neither feared God nor respected man. And there was a widow in that city who kept coming to him and saying, ‘Give me justice against my adversary.’ For a while he refused, but afterward he said to himself, ‘Though I neither fear God nor respect man, yet because this widow keeps bothering me, I will give her justice, so that she will not beat me down by her continual coming.’” And the Lord said, “Hear what the unrighteous judge says. And will not God give justice to his elect, who cry to him day and night? Will he delay long over them? I tell you, he will give justice to them speedily. Nevertheless, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on earth?”...Luke 18:1-8.

 

Just before Jesus gave us this parable He spoke of dark times in which we would want to see one of the days of the Son of man. In this parable Jesus speaks of the authority of a unjust judge. This judge does not regard man or God. He only does what he thinks best. There is a widow who has none to support here and she just keep coming to the judge for justice. The Judge does not care about he widow or her just cause but is only worried that she keeps coming and pestering him. He gives her the justice she asked for. Jesus said hear what the unjust judge said…he did it out of personal reasons not due to justice or mercy. We today are living in the last of days and we will have to face people and authority of this type. May we be wise in the ways of this world to get our just causes done.
