Day 28 Matthew 13:54-58

“Prophet Without a Home!”

“He returned to Nazareth , His hometown. When He taught there in the synagogue, everyone was astonished and said, “Where does He get His wisdom and his miracles? He’s just a carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, His mother, and His brothers-James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.  All His sisters live right here among us. What makes Him so great?” And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in Him. Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.” And so He did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.”(Matthew 13:54-58)
.
I wanted to write to everyone with a vision from God today and to tell you to stay strong in faith, because many times when we are on this road to fulfilling God destiny for our lives, many around us will not understand. This also was the case for Jesus. “When he taught there in the synagogue, everyone was astonished and said, “Where does he get his wisdom and his miracles?” It is written by the Holy Spirit that the revelation of Jesus is Lord shall be revealed. Though Jesus was raised in Nazareth , people still did not understand it was the Savior of the world who was with them, For instead of seeing him in His Spirit man, they only saw Him in the natural. “He’s just a carpenter’s son, and we know Mary, his mother, and his brothers-James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas.” The very community of people who he grew up around could not see that transformation that was within him.
.
“What makes him so great?” And they were deeply offended and refused to believe in him.” Beloved, I tell you this, even as a new creation in Christ, many of those who knew you before, will not receive as one who has been transformed. I have come to realize and understand that forgiveness from God is assured, but forgiveness from man is never an absolute. This is why it is written, “Forgive because God has Forgiven you.” Even more than that, for many people walk with a spiritual blindness that makes them harden within their hearts to not believe that God has changed you. “Then Jesus told them, “A prophet is honored everywhere except in his own hometown and among his own family.” And so he did only a few miracles there because of their unbelief.” Acceptance from those who you have been raised up with is not a guaranteed. I know many whose heart are weakened and broken because they seek for acceptance from their church or their family from what God has put on their heart. The Son of the Most High God was rejected from his home town, so how much more will this happened to those who Follow God’s Plan. Never Lose Faith and know that there is still the work of the Lord to be done in every nation. Do not let the rejection of others lead you to give up on Gods plan for you!

Day 4

“Asleep, Not Dead.”
.
So the two sisters sent a message to Jesus telling him, “Lord, the one you love is very sick.” But when Jesus heard about it he said, “Lazarus’s sickness will not end in death. No, it is for the glory of God. I, the Son of God, will receive glory from this.” Although Jesus loved Martha, Mary, and Lazarus, he stayed where he was for the next two days and did not go to them. Finally after two days, he said to his disciples, “Let’s go to Judea again.” (John 11:3-7 NLT)
.

Lord, the ones you Love are very sick. I want to pray for everyone who has accepted our Lord Jesus Christ into their Heart, Mind, Body and Soul. For there was a time that we all needed to be healed and cried out to the Lord. Our Prayers are like Messages up to Heaven. Our Father listens to our cries and just like here in John, Jesus says that our sickness will not end in Death and God will Receive Glory from this.

,

I know that God answers Prayers. For years I had a friend who struggled with drinking, partying and drugs. He was apart of that scene for such a long time and really saw no way out. I kept assuring him that God was ready to show his Glory in his Life, but he needed to be ready to believe. When Jesus heard that Lazarus was sick, did he go straight to Judea? No, He waited two days and then he went. Why wait two days, when he knew that Lazarus was sick and needed to be healed right then?

,

But don’t we all face this situation? My friend needed to be saved from his life style and there were many times when I was on my last dollar that I needed the Lord to come to me in the moment. It is a time like these that we feel that the Lord is not by our side, but we must understand that the Lord knows everything and his Will is made complete. As we read on, Jesus says, “Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but now I will go and wake him up. (John 11:11)

.

Thank you Jesus! For I once was Blind Now I can see! I once was dead, but The Lord says I was Just asleep! Don’t you know that Lazarus was in the grave for four days!? And when Jesus came, he resurrected him and brought forth life! Beloved I don’t care what your situation looks like; Drugs, Alcohol, Sexual immorality and any addiction. I tell you the Truth; you are not dead to the Most High God! If Jesus can rise a man from Death, he came rise you out of your situation. It was for Gods Glory that Jesus Brought Lazarus back to Life and if you believe this Day, I tell you that if you seek to be an example of Gods Glory, he will rise you out of your situation today!

.

Just like Jesus waited until the Fourth Day to Rise Lazarus, He is looking for others who are viewed as dead to the World to rise up for Gods Glory! Let us not ever believe the Lost are dead, because they are the ones that Jesus is looking for. Have a renewing of Faith Today knowing that God is glorified when you are rised and resurrected from your old self. Rejoice, for the world is not dead in Jesus Name, But sleeping and the Lord is coming to Wake the World up!
