Messages

The Lord wants to do many things in us and through us to reach more people, and to be His workers we must have a personal life that is well pleasing to the Lord in every aspect. After this, the first important lesson in learning how to be a worker of the Lord is to stop our active mind and listen to the people the Lord has put in front of us. If we do, the Lord can move through us to meet their real deep need.

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! In the first message of this series we see how Jesus changed water into wine. This was a sign pointing to how Jesus changes our death situation into life. In doing so He replaces our dissatisfaction with Himself as real enjoyment.

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! Nicodemus was seeking more knowledge to improve himself, but Jesus informed him that he needed God’s divine life to achieve the standard of morality he was seeking. It’s the same with us!

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! Just as Jesus satisfied the thirst of the immoral woman at the well, He can satisfy our eternal thirst for Him when we open to Him!

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! The impotent man lying at the pool in John 5 depicts our inability to follow the Lord. Just as Jesus by His life-giving word healed him of his impotency, by receiving the Lord’s word we too can rise to walk and follow Him!

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! Humanity is hungry for something that can truly satisfy their deep inward need. Jesus reveals in John 6 that as the true bread from heaven, He satisfies this deep need for true food.

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! In John 7, on the last day of the great day of a feast, Jesus stood and cried out calling everyone who was thirsty to come to Him and drink! Only Jesus can truly quench our deep sense of thirst!

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! In John 8 Jesus deals with the problem every human being struggles with, sin. He delivers a woman enslaved to sin by giving her an experience of Himself as truth. He fully exposes the source of sin, Satan, and presents the remedy to being free from sin.

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! In John 9, Jesus heals a man born blind. The things of the world and even the things of religion can blind us from Christ. But Jesus can deliver us from everything that prevents us from seeing Him clearly!

Jesus, can You really change me? Yes! In John 11, Jesus raises a man from the dead. Unfortunately, He encounters many obstacles along the way. It’s the same in our experience. Jesus wants to save us from situations filled with death, and we get in His way. But we can give Him the opportunity to raise us from our death situation by turning our heart to Him, and submitting to Him.

Overview

The record of creation in Genesis contains many details on how God created the universe. But there are many aspects of the universe that are missing in this record. Why? The Bible is a book of life, not just a book of facts! God’s intention is to convey Himself as life to man, and we can see this even in the way God created every item in the universe.

Day One

The record of creation in Genesis begins with God commanding there to be light in the universe. What does this mean for us? Something more than just physical light. Just like the origin of the universe, we were in a dark situation until one day God’s light shines and saved us!

Day Two

On Day Two in God’s restoration of the earth, there was a separation between the waters above from the waters below. This signifies the separation from the earthly things and heavenly things when we receive Jesus. The way to develop this inward separation is to daily practice minding the things of God setting our minds on Him.

Day Three

On Day Three, dry land appeared. It’s not a coincidence that dry land appears on the third day. In the Bible, something special happened on a particular “third day”, Jesus arose from the dead. The dry land appearing is actually a picture of Christ emerging from death to and generating life in His believers!

Day Four

On Day Four, God created the great light bearers, the sun, the moon, and the stars. These light bearers represent different aspects of our experience of Christ as His life continues to grow in us. As we experience being separated from earthly things, His light shines us in order for more of His life to grow in us!

Day Five

On Day Five, God created various forms of life. From the plant life, to the sea life, and to animal life on dry land, we see a progression of higher life forms. This is a picture of how our growth as Christians happens in stages. Each stage is a higher and deeper experience of Christ than before.

Day Six

After creating various forms of life, God created man on the sixth day. After this, God saw what He made and He said it was “very good”. This is significant! In this message we explore the depths of this marvelous step in God’s restoration and further creation.

Day Seven

On the seventh day after God’s restoration and further creation, He rested. This rest is what the Bible reveals is the Sabbath. In this message we explore what the true meaning of this rest is.

The Blood of Christ Pt.1

The precious blood of Christ is our entrance into the healthy, normal cycle of life revealed in the Bible. In this first message of our new series we learn why the blood of Christ is so precious and how to apply it in our experience.

The Life of Christ

After experiencing the cleansing of our sins by the precious blood of Christ, we then receive the life of Christ and begin to experience Him. As we experience Christ as life, God bring us into a deeper knowing of Him and His will.

The Fellowship of Christ

Now that we have the Lord’s life in us, He teaches us how to have fellowship with Him. In reality, that means to partake of Him and enjoy Him in so many ways. This is a normal and deeper experience of Christ every believer should have.

The Light of Christ

After learning how to fellowship with Jesus, He shines His light in us exposing us of our sins and shortcomings. He does this in order to help us confess our sins, and bring us back to the very beginning of the cycle of life.

The Blood of Christ Pt.2

Once the Lord shines His light in us, and we confess our sins, we are cleansed by His blood. This brings us back into the beginning of this wonderful cycle of life! The Lord is faithful and knows whatever we need to keep growing in our Christian life. Stay in the cycle!

Our love relationship with Christ is vividly depicted in the Song of Songs!

Seen in the New Jerusalem

The Lord Restores and Deepens our Love for Him

Just like any real relationship, our love relationship with the Lord Jesus involves many ups as well as many downs. But when we’re in a low state, the Lord knows how to deepen our love for Him.

The Bride is Making Herself Ready
