Jesus the Lamb Slain.

Jesus the Lamb Slain. Because everyone has sinned and gone away from God, someone needed to pay a ransom to buy us back for God. We are not redeemed by anything but the blood of Jesus. Not by what we do, or who we are, or who our parents are. Your parents being Christians doesn't make you a Christian. Jesus was killed like a lamb without blemish, a perfect lamb. To redeem everyone who is not perfect. All Jews who read these words recognise the words of Passover. Jesus is the last Passover Lamb. (1 Peter 1:18-20)

Where are you on your Journey?

Where are you on your Journey? In your journey to the cross, have you realised that this man Jesus is The Son of David, the Messiah, the One who has saved you from your sins and forgiven you? You need to tell someone.

People on the Journey.

People on the Journey. Jesus looked around the temple but said nothing. He does that when He looks at us. No matter how late the hour in your life, He still wants to be your King. Then He went back to Bethany for the night with His disciples. God can use people to come into your life. Then when they have done what is needed, they get on with their lives. (Mark 11:11)

Our Godly King.

Our Godly King. This is now about two miles from the start of this journey being treated like a king, like the Messiah. In coming to the Temple, instead of the governor's palace, He is saying that He is a Godly King and not a worldly king. He wants us also to receive Him as our Godly King. (Mark 11:11)

Declaring Jesus as Messiah.

Declaring Jesus as Messiah. Calling Him the Son of David they proclaimed Him to be the Messiah and personally owned Him as Messiah, their saviour. Remember the day you did that, or be prepared to declare it now. Have you decided that you want to accept Jesus as your personal saviour? Let us know. (Mark 11:9-10 and Matthew 21:9)

Declaring Jesus as King.

Declaring Jesus as King. There is a big change about to happen. Up to now, Jesus was seen as prophet, teacher and healer. Now Jesus is being treated as someone royal. Their clothes were like a saddle for Jesus to be more comfortable and they knew that they were declaring Him as King. (2 Kings 9:13) They even wanted His animal to be lifted up. There comes a time in our journey that we all lift up Jesus as King. (Mark 11:7-8)

Prepared For The Journey.

Prepared For The Journey. How did the owner know that it was ok to let them have the colt? Did Father speak to him? This was an open-air transaction too - nothing hidden. How willing are we to witness openly? Think about your journey to the cross, or perhaps you are still on that journey toward Jesus. For most people, like this man, people were prepared by God to be there for them. Who was prepared to reach out to you? (Mark 11:3-6)

Provision For The Journey.

Provision For The Journey. People are coming in to Jerusalem from all over Israel to prepare for the Passover in a few days time. The roads are bustling. Jesus decides that this is a good place to get a colt. But how did Jesus know there was a colt tied up there? (Mark 11:1-2) There had to be a colt there. Father had prophesied it. (Zechariah 9:9) What did Father provide for your journey to Jesus?

So what have we learned about mothers?

So what have we learned about mothers?

1.  Without your mother you would not exist.

2.  Mothers are no longer in the place of being ruled by men.

3. Mothers are quicker to accept responsibility than men are. 

4.  Mothers can work directly with God without a man's help.

5.  Mothers often hear from God more readily. (Hence lady Intercessors)

6.  Mothers are ready for a challenge.

7.  It is man's duty to look after mothers, not because they can't look after themselves, but because God wants it that way. 

8.  They are lovely.

Equal In The Eyes Of God

Equal In The Eyes Of God. 

Men and women were created equal, then sin changed everything. 

For thousands of years women were treated as if they were something a man could own. 

But after the sacrifice of Jesus - equality was restored.

In Father's eyes we are all the same. He can use either a man or a woman to do anything He chooses. 

So live in your freedom mothers. 

(Genesis 1:27 and Galatians 3:28)

Look After My Mother

Look After My Mother. 

We don't hear much about Mary then until the Cross. 

Yet even in His pain and sorrow, Jesus made sure that His mother was looked going to be looked after. And that she would still have a son to care for. 

(John 19:25-27)

Mary The Maidservant. 

Not many people have an angel tell them their future. Let alone say that they are to be miraculously pregnant. Even saying the Holy Spirit is involved, few in those days had even heard of Him. 

But Mary took it all in her stride, mothers do that. 

I am Your maidservant. 

This is why Mary found favour with God - He knew her response.

(Luke 1:30-38)

Our Awesome God.

Our Awesome God. 

The virgin birth really does show how awesome our God is, no one else could come up with such a miraculously way. 

Look at His name - He is God - with us.

Father also says to all men:

I can work directly with a woman without your help. 

They don't need your permission to minister for Me.   (Isaiah 7:14)

Eden's Man and Eden's Woman -2.

Eden's Man and Eden's Woman -2. Before they sinned, Adam and Eve were equal before God. The man will now rule over the woman until That Seed is born and redeems mankind. (Genesis 3:16)

Eden's Man and Eden's Woman - 1.

Eden's Man and Eden's Woman - 1. Men have been blaming the women for their problems since the Garden of Eden, rather than take responsibility for their own actions. Adam blamed God and Eve, but she blamed herself for being deceived. (Genesis 3:12-13)

Virgin Birth Prophesied.

Virgin Birth Prophesied. In the garden of Eden, here is the first reference to Jesus being born. "Her seed" is singular, meaning Jesus. "Her seed" - means a virgin birth. Jews refer to the man's seed, a person is called son of father's name. So here too we have the first reference to Mary, the mother of that Seed. (Genesis 3:14-15)

Living In The Provision

Living In The Provision. 

Are you Born-Again so that Jesus is your Lord, your Christ?

Are you filled with the Holy Spirit and His anointing?

Have you determined to share with others in the Church?

Will you let great grace and power come upon you?

Then you have His provision.

Flowing In The Anointing

Flowing In The Anointing. 

Here we are not so much strengthened by Jesus the person, but by Christ and His anointing.

King James Version says:

Through Christ WHICH strengthens me. 

His anointing is here, now.

Flowing in the anointing is flowing in provision.

Flowing in the anointing is flowing outside yourself.

Flowing in an area where you cannot provide and only He can. 

(Philippians 4:13). 

Weakness Brings Strength.

Weakness Brings Strength. Paul has been talking about all the things he has gone through. Then the devil tries to discourage him and he calls out to God. Father says, you have my grace and it is sufficient for you. Whenever you declare your weakness, My strength is perfected. Yet another example of not trying to do it ourselves. Acknowledging our need for help from Him brings grace and power. So Paul determines to brag to Father about the things he cannot do. Knowing the power of Jesus will come into him. But more than that, it is the power of Christ, the Anointed One. When we declare our weaknesses, the anointing comes upon us with power. (2 Corinthians 12:9)

Favour With Man.

Favour With Man. Great grace again. Father arranged for the Egyptians to provide finances for His people. (Exodus 3:21-22) He still uses the world to provide for us. The wealth of the sinner is laid up for the just. (Proverbs 13:22)

Favour Brings Provision.

Favour Brings Provision. Esther was told that she had favour and she believed it. Do you? You do not know what Father has in store for you, so you have to flow in His provision. You too were born for such a time as this. He arranged for you to be born when you were because you are able to survive and prosper now. So look for the flow and jump in to His provision. (Esther 4:14)

Working Together Brings Power.

Working Together Brings Power. They worked together and with great power. I believe the two are linked, no togetherness, no power. Being together they were bolder to witness and great grace was on them all. Great favour from God. We all want this amazing grace that we sing about, but we don't want to share anything. Father has the same great grace available for us, if we will do our part and share. (Acts 4:32-33

Sharing The Provision.

Sharing The Provision. Far too many people in the Church today are trying to do it all themselves. They don't need help from anyone. Consequently they end up in trouble and blame God. Who do you share heart and soul with? Who do you receive advice from and act upon? These people worked together even sharing their possessions. (Acts 4:32-33)

Flowing in Kingdom Healing.

Flowing in Kingdom Healing. Philip brought miracles which brought great joy. (Acts 8:5-12) Philip preached the kingdom and demonstrated it. Healing was a normal flow in his life so he gave. We are crucified with Jesus. (Galatians 2:20) So like Jesus, we have nothing to stop healing flowing from us. Yielding to the Kingdom healing flow restores our position in Christ. As we are more expectant we will see more healing. Showing compassion on the sick and knowing our place in Him. This is for all believers.

Expect Your Healing.

Expect Your Healing. The lame man is healed. (Acts 3:1-9) He was expecting to receive something. It might have only been money he expected, but at least he was expecting something. Peter didn't have money, but he knew he was carrying Kingdom life. The man received healing, because Peter gave what was in him. We can do the same, Kingdom healing is in the believer.

In The Healing Flow.

In The Healing Flow. This is why we are able to receive healing now. (1 Corinthians 2:1-5) We have determined to know nothing but who Jesus is and what His sacrifice was. So Father's grace can come to us, Kingdom healing is ours. When Jesus said - "It is finished", that was a very important statement. At the end of the sacrifices in the Temple, the High Priest ended by saying - "It is finished" Jesus was the final sacrifice. Immediately Jesus died, the dead rose up. (Matthew 27:51-53) The veil was torn and the way to healing was open, healing could now flow directly from Father.

Offence Can Block Healing.

Offence Can Block Healing. Nazareth is the only place where it is recorded that Jesus did not heal everyone. Who is this man? They asked. They became offended and were filled with unbelief. First - By refusing to believe who Jesus really was. Second - They couldn't see what Jesus was carrying from Father. When we doubt it comes from the same misunderstanding of who Jesus is and what The Bible says about Him as our healer.. Or else we wonder if we are worthy to be healed. Yet The Bible says we are worthy to receive everything we need from Jesus. (Mark 6:1-6)

What criteria for healing did Jesus have?

What criteria for healing did Jesus have?

First - Most people asked Him. 

Second - They came with a level of expectancy.

Their level of expectancy created an atmosphere for them to bring more people to be healed. 

Yet they were not all without doubt.

The boy’s father doubted, so he asked Jesus to help his aspects of unbelief and his son was healed. (Mark 9:17-29)

The father doubted because he didn't know enough of the truth about healing.

We can eliminate that by studying God's Word and believing it.

Think Healing

Think Healing.

Jesus wants our thinking to line up with The Kingdom.

Repent means to change your way of thinking. 

Jesus is saying, The Kingdom is here and I am here. (Matthew 4:17)

Then Jesus went to Syria and every sick person in the country was brought to Him.

He healed them all without conditions and without exceptions.

Not one sickness was missed, not one person was missed, all were healed of all. 

Demonstrating The Kingdom healing flowing to the people. (Matthew 4:23-24)

What do you think about that?

A Healing Revelation.

A Healing Revelation. Jesus healed them all. Were all the people Jesus healed Christians? Were all the people Jesus healed free from sin? Did they all have the faith of the centurion? Did Jesus tell anyone to get their life sorted out first? Why then do we think we can apply conditions and exceptions to someone's healing. Jesus heals without conditions and without exceptions.

Peace Always.

Peace Always. The Prince of Peace Himself gives you peace always in every way. If He gives you peace, it is yours now, you have peace. The Bible has much more about peace, but this verse just about covers it all. Another one of those 3:16 scriptures throughout the Bible. (2 Thessalonians 3:16)

Peace Of Mind.

Peace Of Mind. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21) But life and peace are in the power of the mind. What are you thinking? Stay away from carnal thinking. Think in the spiritual realm and keep that peace in your mind. (Romans 8:6)
