BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD

BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD

READ JOHN 1:28-29… THESE THINGS WERE DONE IN BETH-AB-A-RA, BEYOND JORDAN WHERE JOHN WAS BAPTIZING…

THE NEXT DAY JOHN SEETH JESUS COMING UNTO HIM, AND SAITH, BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD, WHICH TAKETH AWAY THE SIN OF THE WORLD.

BEHOLD MEANS TO FIX YOUR EYES UPON. BEHOLD (FIX YOUR EYES) UPON JESUS AND THE FINISHED WORK AT THE CROSS.

EVERY ASPECT OF YOUR LIFE WAS LAYED OUT AT CALVARY. YOUR HEALING, YOUR PROSPERITY, YOUR SALVATION. ALL OF THIS WAS DONE AT THE CROSS

THROUGH THE BLOOD OF JESUS YOU WERE SAVED, SANCTIFIED, GLORIFIED, AND PURIFIED SO PURE UNTIL HIS HOLY SPIRIT COULD COME AND DWELL IN YOU.

WHEN YOU GET BORN AGAIN GODS SPIRIT INTERES INTO YOUR SPIRIT AND YOUR SPIRIT IS SEALED…  SATIN CAN NOT TOUCH YOUR SPIRIT…BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD.

FIX YOUR EYES UPON JESUS… UNTO HIM WHO IS ABLE…HE IS ABLE TO FULFILL ALL YOUR NEEDS. DIRECT YOUR ATTENTION TO JESUS AND GET OVER INTO THE SUPERNATURAL.

READ 2^ND CORR. 3:17-18… NOW THE LORD IS THAT SPIRIT AND WHERE THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS, THERE IS LIBERTY.

NO MORE CAPTIVITY, YOU ARE FREE,

FREE FROM BONDAGE,

FREE FROM CONFUSION,

FREE FROM STRESS,

FREE FROM DEPRESSION.

READ VS 18… BUT WE ALL, WITH OPEN FACES AS BEHOLDING IN A GLASS, THE GLORIY OF THE LORD, AND WE ARE CHANGED INTO THE SAME IMAGE FROM GLORY TO GLORY, EVEN AS BY THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD.

HE IS SAYING, KEEP YOUR EYES UPON JESUS AND YOU WILL BE TRANSFORMED INTO THE IMAGE OF WHAT YOU ARE BEHOLDING. YOU WILL BE TRANSFORMED INTO THE IMAGE OF JESUS.

IT IS NOT A TRANSFORMATION OF YOUR WORKS, OR YOUR EFFORT, IT IS THE TRANSFORMATION OF YOUR SOUL BY THE SUPERNATURAL POWER OF GOD THROUGH HIS SON JESUS, THE LAMB OF GOD.

GOD SEES US THROUGH JESUS, THE KEY TO DELIVERENCE IS TO STOP LOOKING AT THE CIRCUMSTANCES AROUND YOU, AND START LOOKING AT THE SUPERNATURAL REALM. JESUS

DON’T BE PREOCCUPIED WITH YOUR NATURAL ABILITY IT ONLY LEADS TO DISSAPOINTMENT AND EMPTINESS.

READ MATH 14: 22-28… NATURAL MAN CAN’T WALK ON WATER, IF YOU ARE GOING TO WALK ON WATER, YOU HAVE TO KEEP YOUR EYES UPON JESUS.

AS LONG AS PETER KEPT HIS EYES ON JESUS, HE WAS IN THE REALM OF THE SUPERNATURAL… WHEN YOU BEHOLD SUPERNATURAL THINGS YOU BECOME WHAT YOU BEHOLD.

WHILE PETER WAS IN THE SUPERNATURAL, WATCHING THE SUPERNATURAL, NATURAL THINGS STARTED TAKING PLACE AROUND HIM…

SOMETIMES THINGS ARE GOING GREAT AND THEN A CIRCUMSTANCE SHOWS UP AND THE FIRST THING WE DO IS GET OVER IN THE NATURAL… INSTEAD OF BEHOLDING THE LAMB OF GOD WE PANIC…

MATH 14:29-33 SAYS… PETER SAID LORD IF IT IS YOU HELP ME COME TO YOU ON THE WATER…PETER ACTUALLY WALKED ON THE WATER TO GO TO JESUS.  HOW DID HE DO THAT? HIS EYES WERE FIXED ON JESUS.

BUT BEFORE HE GOT TO JESUS THE WIND CAME UP AND HE STARTED LOOKING AT THE CIRCUMSTANCES AND TOOK HIS EYES OFF JESUS. WHEN WE TAKE OUR EYES OFF JESUS WE GET BACK INTO THE NATURAL AND TRY TO DO THINGS IN OUR OWN EFFORTS AND OWN WORKS, AND THAT IS HOW WE GET DEFEATED.

YOU WILL NEVER HAVE VICTORY IN THE NATURAL REALM, WE HAVE AN ADVERSARY. THE DEVIL DOES EVERYTHING HE CAN TO GET YOU TO TAKE YOUR EYES OFF JESUS.

EVERY PROBLEM YOU FACE IS TO GET YOUR EYES OFF JESUS, EVERY BILL THAT COMES IN, EVERY PROBLEM IN YOUR MARRIAGE…

WHEN YOU TAKE YOUR EYES OFF JESUS YOU ARE NO LONGER WALKING IN THE SUPERNATURAL…  NOW IS THE TIME TO BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD.

KEEP BEHOLDING HIM,

BROTHER ANDY

UNDERSTANDING YOUR FEELINGS

Understanding your feelings

            Today even Christians seem to be falling short of the manifestation of Gods blessings. Many things can happen to cause us not to see the manifestation of Gods blessings.

Sometimes we lack the wisdom of what we need to do to receive Gods blessings.

            God promises us an abundant life in his word. He has made every provision needed for us to have our abundant life. We always get an answer to our prayers. Sometimes we “feel” that we aren’t going to get our answer and those feelings short circuit our faith.

            Lets say you came up to have the minister pray for a terrible pain you are having, the minister prayed and believed your pain would be healed, but you say later I didn’t get my healing because you still feel pain.

            Just because you still feel the pain does not mean you are not healed. Have faith declare you are healed, rebuke the pain. 1^st Corr 4: 20 says… for the kingdom of God is not just in word but in power. Let the word guide you in your thinking not your feelings… Claim your healing. Praise God for it. Declare it. Trust God.

            Your feelings are the mental and physical part of you. The spiritual part of you is an area that satin can not touch. He comes like a thief in the night to try and trick your mind into believing something has gone wrong in your healing. He is a liar and a thief. He will do his best to rob you of your healing and your peace of mind. He comes but to kill, steal, and destroy. Rebuke him. Don’t let him steal from you.

            Don’t let stress or depression make you say something you don’t mean. Like “if God loves me why can’t I catch a break, or why me Lord… keep the faith. Don’t waiver.

            We serve a powerful supernatural God that loves us so much he sent his son to die on the cross so we would have that promise of his word. He wants us to have life in abundance, life eternal with Him and peace of mind, joy unspeakable.

            God’s promises and provisions are bigger than any problem or feelings that come our way. Hang on to the Word, continue in faith. Remember you are the healed, the blessed, the child of God, heir to the throne. Jesus is your friend, closer than a brother.

            Have courage; fight the good fight of faith. Plead the blood in your life, claim victory, decree victory. Keep your eyes on the future, heaven and eternity weighs in the balance. We will soon be in heaven with the Lord. Bring those feeling under subjection to the power and authority of the Lord.

            Read Psalms 46. Stay in the Word.

            God bless,

            Brother Andy

HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR HEALING AND PROSPERITY

How to maintain your healing and prosperity

Today I want to follow up on the last message concerning healing and prosperity and how to keep your victory from being influenced by the power of darkness.

It is true, Jesus came and did all that was needed for us to have a victorious life, good health, a prosperous lifestyle along with peace and joy.

Even though this is true, and it is, the word says in John 10: 10 … He also came that we might have life and life more abundantly. Abundantly means more than enough to meet your needs.

However in the same John 10: 10 it says… the thief comes to kill, steal and destroy. So even though healing and prosperity always comes, it is not always received or kept, “maintained“.

When you pray ask God for what you want, loose it then the windows of heaven open and send it your way, then say I receive what I am praying for.

If you received it and by faith you have it you might not feel like it. The manifestation of Gods promises does not operate in feelings. It always operates on His word by faith, because he is a God that can not lie… Heb 6: 18. Just keep thanking him for the gift of what you prayed for, believing that God wants you to have it and keep it.

As a born again believer, you have every right to live a victorious lifestyle, Jesus made it available at the cross. His stripes are healing, His blood purified you so pure until The Holy Spirit came and lives in you and the Holy Spirit sealed your spirit forever.

Now satan can not touch your spirit, he can only use deception through your thinking to harm you. That is how he caused Eve to eat of the forbidden fruit… deception. That is how the devil will try to steal what you prayed for. That is why it is a good idea to put on the full armor of God. As you have read in a previous lesson. It will protect you from the devils deceptions.

The devil will use all kinds of strategies to cause people to forsake their blessings from God. He gets you over into doubt. Doubt will cancel out your faith. You will think, well healing is just not for me, or, I didn’t get it. Wrong… God gave it to you, hold on to it… nothing is too big for God to handle.

A lot of victories in healing and prosperity have been lost due to doubting Gods word. Stay in the Word. Know in your heart that God is for you. If God be for you who can be against you?

All things pertaining to the word of God hinges on the depth of your faith. Heb 11: 6 says… without faith it is impossible to please God. With out faith you step outside Gods favor, His blessings and His ministering angels.

Without faith we can not walk in Gods righteousness. We obtain righteousness only by what Jesus did at the cross, The blood of Jesus makes us righteous. We can not do enough to be righteous on our own. We all need Jesus. We all fail and sin, ask forgiveness for sin and continue loving God and believing his word.

You can not save yourself, heal yourself and you sure can’t fight and win over the world system by yourself. But by faith in God, trusting in the leading of the Holy Spirit, you are a winner.

Stay in the Word, God bless you

HOW TO RECEIVE YOUR HEALING

How to Receive your healing

As I watch people coming forward at church, most are coming up for prayer about healing or prosperity. Healing is most likely the number one cause for people to come forward.

Since so many Christians are fighting sickness and diseases I have to wonder if they know how to pray, and if they are applying Gods word concerning health and prosperity.

In John 8: 31-32 Jesus says, If you continue in my word, then you shall know the truth and the truth will make you free. Free from what?

Free from the bondage of the world system, and from sickness, poverty, etc.

In Isaiah 53: 4-5 it says, Surely He has borne our grief and carried our sorrows, he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities, and by his stripes we are healed.

So if the stripes of Jesus healed us why do so many Christians still get sickness and diseases? Sickness, disease and poverty certainly don’t come from God, so we the people must have missed something somewhere.

Maybe this… read Hosea 4: 6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge, because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you, I will also forget your children.

Lack of knowledge is because people won’t read and believe Gods word… How are you going to have faith in Gods word if you don’t read Gods word?

Not all people tell you the truth, they may think they are, Not all preachers teach all the truth. To know what the Word says you need to read it for yourself, ask the Holy Spirit to guide you and let you know the truth.

Heb 11:6 says… it is impossible to please God without faith, you can’t have faith if you don’t develop a relationship with the word, you need to nurture that relationship, then you have something to base your faith on. Faith is based on the word of God and the word of God only.

John 15: 7 says… if you abide in me and my words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.

If someone held out a hundred dollar bill as a gift for you, if you didn’t reach out and take it you would not receive it. Healing is not always received, but it always comes… reach out and receive it.

What Jesus did as Lord and savior he did for all people, He did all we would need He finished it all at the cross. If we don’t reach out and take this free gift, we will never have victory over sin, sickness, disease, poverty, and we can not have peace, joy and eternal happiness in Him.

Faith can be found in Gods word, trust in what Jesus did and be led by the holy spirit. Gods favor will be in your life if you do these things.

The only thing Gods wants is your love and trust in him. Let the spirit of God lead you.

More next time on how to keep and maintain your faith and healing.

Love in Christ Jesus,

Bro Andy

LIVING THE VICTORIOUS LIFE

Living the victorious life.

 

People want to believe if they had a lot of money that they would then be what they consider to be victorious.

1^st Corr. 15: 57 says… But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. It does not mention money. It doesn’t say… money will bring you victory.

Read 1^st John 5: 4... “Whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world, and this is the victory that overcometh the world even our faith.”

We must defeat the evil of this world by trusting Christ to give us the victory. You must stop focusing on a piece of paper with pictures of old men. (Money)

First of all victory is not what you have, but what you know. You can have a lot of money and be very sick with an incurable disease, that is not being victorious.

Read 1^st Timothy 6: 10 it is saying, “the love of money is the root of all evil.” To have victory in your life, you must have the favor of God in your life.

To have His favor in your life you need to be operating with the word working in your life. To have the word working in your life, you must hear the word… to hear the word you must open your ears.

Mathew 11: 15 says… “he that hath ears to hear, let him hear”. To understand what you hear, you must believe and trust the one who inspired the Word. The word of God is based on biblical facts.

Knowledge is the accumulation of facts. Understanding is the arrangement of the facts. The Holy Spirit has the ability to place the facts in the right perspective for us.

It is the presence of the Lord in your life that makes you victorious, not money. If you want to see things happen in your life read Mathew 6: 33. “Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added unto you.”

Read John 15: 7 “If you abide in me and My words abide in you, you shall ask what you will and it shall be done unto you.”

If God is with you and you will trust in Him, you will have his favor on your life. That will create a prosperous and victorious life, way beyond you have ever imagined.

If you have need for prayer contact us we will be happy to pray for you.

Be happy, trust God, he still works miracles.

Brother Andy.
