The Powerhouse of Jesus

Jesus Heals a Man With Leprosy

¹² While Jesus was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy.^[a] When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged him, “Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean.”

¹³ Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. “I am willing,” he said. “Be clean!” And immediately the leprosy left him.

¹⁴ Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest and offer the sacrifices that Moses commanded for your cleansing, as a testimony to them.”

¹⁵ Yet the news about him spread all the more, so that crowds of people came to hear him and to be healed of their sicknesses. ¹⁶ But Jesus often withdrew to lonely places and prayed.

 

Are wondering why your prayers are not answered?

Why you seem to lack power?

I tell you talk with me often says the Lord

And you shall see the power of the living God work through you.

Seek me in the secret place and I shall work in the public place, says the Lord

I shall move in and through you in the midst of the people, says the Lord

Seek me says the Lord I am not far away. 

I do not hide my presence from men but I am a hands breadth away from you.

I tell you reach out and take my hand and I shall guide you in these days says the Lord.

See, as you fall on your knees before me I shall raise you up before men  says the Lord of hosts

Amen

 

 

 

A lamp on a stand

 Luke 8:16-18

A Lamp on a Stand

¹⁶ “No one lights a lamp and hides it in a clay jar or puts it under a bed. Instead, they put it on a stand, so that those who come in can see the light. ¹⁷ For there is nothing hidden that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed that will not be known or brought out into the open. ¹⁸ Therefore consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more; whoever does not have, even what they think they have will be taken from them.”

 

Take care how you listen to my Word says the Lord 

Some of you listen intently but allow the cares of this world to drown out the message

Some of you hear but do not understand

Some of you hear and understand but the evil one steals it from you 

So listen, persevere and guard your heart and mind and thus produce a good crop

Amen  

The pillar of fire and cloud

 

 

 

I am the Lord who leads and guides by fire by night and cloud by day

Surely I shall cast your enemy into the depths of the sea 

I shall smite them a mighty blow for they are as ants before me 

No longer shall your enemy bind you in chains 

Surely I shall break your fetters.

I shall lead you and guide in these days 

Your enemy seeks to destroy you with lies and mockery but I shall make the truth known

No more shall your enemy be your master

But I have ordered a reversal in the heavenly realms says the Lord 

For I chose you to lead the nations says the Lord 

Come before me in humility and faith and I shall open the door to your best future

Surely my plans shall come to pass in the fulness of time for I am creator and sustainer of all things

 Amen 

 

 

 

Cain and Abel: The danger of worshiptainment

Genesis 4:3

Now Abel kept flocks, and Cain worked the soil. ³ In the course of time Cain brought some of the fruits of the soil as an offering to the Lord. ⁴ And Abel also brought an offering—fat portions from some of the firstborn of his flock. The Lord looked with favor on Abel and his offering, ⁵ but on Cain and his offering he did not look with favor. So Cain was very angry, and his face was downcast.

Heb 11:4

It was by faith that Abel brought a more acceptable offering to God than Cain did. Abel's offering gave evidence that he was a righteous man, and God showed his approval of his gifts. Although Abel is long dead, he still speaks to us by his example of faith.

 

Come before him, and offer our sacrifice, in faith.

 

Come let us offer a sacrifice of praise and worship to our God in spirit and truth.

 

For He made each one of us and knows everything about us 

 

Let us offer our gift before the alter of our God.  

 

When you come before your God, you shall meet Him, together with myriads of His holy angels for whenever His people gather and offer worship to Him there is unity

 

All things become possible.

 

Let the doors of heaven be flung wide open and the people be One in Him.

 

Let us be united in the bond of peace.

Surely I shall grant you favour from on high says the Lord

 

Come before me with a glad heart and a willing spirit and I shall be pleased to give you everything planned for you since before the creation of the world.

 

For I am the God who was and who is and who is to come.

 

It is I who made sun and moon and stars

 

It is I who hold and sustain all things by my powerful word

 

It is I that open blind eyes and deaf ears

 

I make the lame walk and the lepers clean

 

Let those with eyes to see and ears to hear percieve the power of the living God in these days.

Amen.

Psalm 89: A song of Ethan

....

⁵ All heaven will praise your great wonders, Lord;
    myriads of angels will praise you for your faithfulness.
 

⁶ For who in all of heaven can compare with the Lord?
    What mightiest angel is anything like the Lord?
 

⁷ The highest angelic powers stand in awe of God.
    He is far more awesome than all who surround his throne.
 

⁸ O Lord God of Heaven’s Armies!
    Where is there anyone as mighty as you, O Lord?
    You are entirely faithful.

 

.........................................

 

Do you know who you truly are?

God Himself has placed through His Spirit His fulness within His servants 

His chosen ones

Christ in you the hope of glory 

I tell you, His holy angels surround you like a sheild 

They are charged to protect you, your family, your health, your finances. they carry His messages to you   

 Christ goes before you like a banner

His sword and sheild are you protection 

Let faith arise within the servants of God

Learn to tabernacle with the Holy One

Amen.

 

Psalm 52 The Liar King and the Faithful Servant

 Psalm 52

¹  Why do you boast about your crimes, great warrior?

     Don’t you realize God’s justice continues forever?

² All day long you plot destruction.
    Your tongue cuts like a sharp razor;
    you’re an expert at telling lies.
³ You love evil more than good
    and lies more than truth. 

⁴ You love to destroy others with your words,
    you liar!
⁵ But God will strike you down once and for all.
    He will pull you from your home
    and uproot you from the land of the living.

⁶ The righteous will see it and be amazed.
    They will laugh and say,
⁷ “Look what happens to mighty warriors
    who do not trust in God.
They trust their wealth instead
    and grow more and more bold in their wickedness.”

⁸ But I am like an olive tree, thriving in the house of God.
    I will always trust in God’s unfailing love.
⁹ I will praise you forever, O God,
    for what you have done.
I will trust in your good name
    in the presence of your faithful people.

 

'Be sure the truth will find you out', says the Lord of Hosts

'I am the God who knows you 

I know your inmost thoughts

How they are wicked all day long 

Not only do you tolarate inquity you  join in 

Your heart is far from me 

You and your household shall be castdown 

Surely I will bring your kingdom to ruin 

Together with those who support you 

I will rise up enemies from within your own camp 

They will turn on you

From within your own borders I shall raise up an army who will cast you down

I am the everliving one. I died yet still live and I shall rule the nations with a rod of iron.'

May the God of Jacob, Issac and Abraham add his blessing to these words.

Amen  

 

Revelation 16: The bowls of God's Wrath

Revelation 16 The bowls of God's Wrath   

Then I heard a mighty voice from the Temple say to the seven angels, “Go your ways and pour out on the earth the seven bowls containing God’s wrath.”

² So the first angel left the Temple and poured out his bowl on the earth, and horrible, malignant sores broke out on everyone who had the mark of the beast and who worshiped his statue.

³ Then the second angel poured out his bowl on the sea, and it became like the blood of a corpse. And everything in the sea died.

⁴ Then the third angel poured out his bowl on the rivers and springs, and they became blood. ⁵ And I heard the angel who had authority over all water saying,

“You are just, O Holy One, who is and who always was,
    because you have sent these judgments.
⁶ Since they shed the blood
    of your holy people and your prophets,
you have given them blood to drink.
    It is their just reward.”

⁷ And I heard a voice from the altar,saying,

“Yes, O Lord God, the Almighty,
    your judgments are true and just.”

⁸ Then the fourth angel poured out his bowl on the sun, causing it to scorch everyone with its fire. ⁹ Everyone was burned by this blast of heat, and they cursed the name of God, who had control over all these plagues. They did not repent of their sins and turn to God and give him glory.

¹⁰ Then the fifth angel poured out his bowl on the throne of the beast, and his kingdom was plunged into darkness. His subjects ground their teeth^[b] in anguish, ¹¹ and they cursed the God of heaven for their pains and sores. But they did not repent of their evil deeds and turn to God.

¹² Then the sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great Euphrates River, and it dried up so that the kings from the east could march their armies toward the west without hindrance. ¹³ And I saw three evil spirits that looked like frogs leap from the mouths of the dragon, the beast, and the false prophet. ¹⁴ They are demonic spirits who work miracles and go out to all the rulers of the world to gather them for battle against the Lord on that great judgment day of God the Almighty.

¹⁵ “Look, I will come as unexpectedly as a thief! Blessed are all who are watching for me, who keep their clothing ready so they will not have to walk around naked and ashamed.”

¹⁶ And the demonic spirits gathered all the rulers and their armies to a place with the Hebrew name Armageddon

¹⁷ Then the seventh angel poured out his bowl into the air. And a mighty shout came from the throne in the Temple, saying, “It is finished!” ¹⁸ Then the thunder crashed and rolled, and lightning flashed. And a great earthquake struck—the worst since people were placed on the earth. ¹⁹ The great city of Babylon split into three sections, and the cities of many nations fell into heaps of rubble. So God remembered all of Babylon’s sins, and he made her drink the cup that was filled with the wine of his fierce wrath. ²⁰ And every island disappeared, and all the mountains were leveled. ²¹ There was a terrible hailstorm, and hailstones weighing as much as seventy-five pounds fell from the sky onto the people below. They cursed God because of the terrible plague of the hailstorm.

 

If ever there was a time to turn to the Lord of Heaven and become his workmanship, it is now!

See, the world has become full of iniquity and I shall pour out my wrath upon the world says the Lord of Hosts 

I shall come and I will show my power and might and wrath, repent of your evil ways says the Lord

I shall remove evil kings and their advisors for they are far from me, says the Lord, for the kings of the earth belong to me. It is mine to raise up and mine to cast down

Return to me says the Lord of hosts and I will show mercy for it is not my desire to see the souls I have created perish in the flames of hell. 

For I am both loving and merciful and patient with men

So, come back to me and follow my Word who is and was and is to come.

See, I shall inhabit my chosen ones, they shall be doers of deeds and be mighty warriors and yeild the sword of truth.

For my Spirit will both dwell and work within them, says the Lord of Heavens armies. They shall carry my presence, wherever they go it shall be hallowed ground. They shall abide in the most holy place and do their work from behind a torn veil. They shall embody my Spirit in its fullness says the Lord.

Come let us prepare together for that great and glorious day of the Lord, when the trumpets shall sound and He shall ride ahead of a great army and lead the saints into glorious victory. The beast, the false prophet, and the antichrist shall be tossed alive into the lake of fire and their servants will be killed by the sword of God's Word and be devoured by the birds of the air

May God add his blessing to these words 

Amen              

Psalm 46

Psalm 46




God is our refuge and strength,an ever-present help in trouble.

Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, the holy place where the Most High dwells.God is within her, she will not fall;

God will help her at break of day. Nations are in uproar, kingdoms fall; he lifts his voice, the earth melts.

The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.

Come and see what the Lord has done, the desolations he has brought on the earth.

He makes wars cease to the ends of the earth. He breaks the bow and shatters the spear; he burns the shields with fire.

He says, “Be still, and know that I am God; I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth.” The Lord Almighty is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.



Is calamity crouching at your door?

Your circumstances pounding you into the ground?

Listen to me says the Lord of Hosts

I am your refuge and strength

Ask me and I shall turn your world upside down

Your overlords shall be routed, your enemies shall flee from you

See, I shall put an end to the calamities and destruction that have come upon you




Return to me, says the Lord of hosts

Listen, do not harken to jezebel that great prostitute and deceiver of kings

But obey my words, man shall not unite with man, nor woman with woman

Immorality shall be destroyed

For I shall ride upon the clouds and my sword shall slay the wicked both high and low both rich and poor

I shall make the faithful as bold and fearless as lions

They shall carry my sword in their mouths

The word of truth shall be found on their lips and in their hearts

My church shall arise from among the nations

Those who claim to worship me yet practice sorcery and witchcraft shall be among the first to be cast down

There shall be a rising and a falling within the church

Keep watch and do not be deceived

For I shall ride out into the world

and slay the wicked, the idolater, the prostitute and the harlot.

Yet my bride shall be clothed in glory and holiness, her beauty shall be unsurpassed

She shall be adorned in the finest of cloth and her garments shall be be as white as snow.

See, even now the feast is ready

Come, let the doors be flung wide open

Let the tables be prepared, for the groom is ready to take His bride into His chamber

He shall dance with His bride for he has covered her with His cloak of protection since before the foundation of earth

Let all the earth shout praises to the Lord of Heavens armies

For He shall appear to many and a multitude shall be brought into the feast

Amen

God's Covenent with priests. A warning

Malachi 2 :5-6

⁵ “The purpose of my covenant with the Levites was to bring life and peace, and that is what I gave them. This required reverence from them, and they greatly revered me and stood in awe of my name.

⁶ They passed on to the people the truth of the instructions they received from me. They did not lie or cheat; they walked with me, living good and righteous lives, and they turned many from lives of sin.

 

You who claim to be prophet or priest!

You who lead and guide!

Do you seek money and ignore the commands of God?

Do you misrepresent my name?

Do you break God's moral law and teach others to do the same?

Your speach is seasoned with salt, yet your heart is far from me.

Turn from your evil ways

Repent of your deeds and seek salvation.

You have led many astray and have filled them with lies and corruption 

You use intimidation, deception and control

Are you not a servant of satan

You have spoken false hope and shattered the dreams of those who trust you

Listen to my words says the Lord of Hosts 

I shall bring ruin and disaster upon those who have led many astray.

Those who have exploited the poor and weak and become rich shall lose everything they own.

They will become the very thing they despise

They will become weak, powerless and alone 

Their deeds will ever be before them 

Make no mistake I shall discipline them says the lord.

I shall rise up from among the remnant a holy and righteous people 

I will fill them with mercy and grace 

And after a time, they will restore you to faith

Yet hear my words, the first shall be last and the last shall be first 

I shall re-order the kingdoms of the earth.

Those who have strength and might shall become weak and powerless

See I have ordered a reversal.

All things will soon be complete 

Amen
