SURRENDERING THE WILL

I always enjoy the story in Luke 5 where Peter had fished all night. He was experienced. He was a professional, but he caught nothing. I am sure he was tired and discouraged after not "bringing home the bacon". Jesus shows up, and tells him to go back out and let down his nets . Now, I am a lot like Peter. When I put my all into something and nothing happens, I prefer just to walk away and do something different, but that is not always the right thing to do. Yet, here is Peter, tired, probably stinky from working the nets, and ready to go home, but the word "nevertheless" comes up. In Luke 5:5 he says: ..... .nevertheless at thy word I will let down the net."

He was told to let down the "nets", but Peter didn't have faith that there would be a catch, because he thought he knew more than Jesus, so he used only one net. It nearly broke because Jesus knew there would be a catch. You could say that Peter half way surrendered, but got the catch of fish in spite of only going half way.

When we surrender our will to the will of God, we can never go without victory. It might not make sense, just like it didn't with Peter, but if God is telling us to do something, we must be determined to go with God all the way. Peter would have missed out on a great blessing if he hadn't let the net down. Not only did he get blessed but the other fishermen that helped him did too.

Some of you may feel like you have done everything possible to get results, but it hasn't happened, but don't despair. God will make a way for you just like he did Peter. The key is surrendering your will and not changing your mind. Your nets will soon be full if Jesus has spoken to you! And.....you will cause others to receive too! Don't give up!

YOUR GIFT OF HEALING

Adam's sin brought death, disease, and all manner of sickness. God's plan provided, through Jesus' shed blood, not only for our soul salvation, but also for our healing. The Messianic prophecy of Isaiah 53:5 says, "He was wounded for our transgressions (sin)...and with His stripes we are healed." T he prophet Malachi (Mal 4:2 NKJV) also says, "unto you that fear (reverance) My name shall the Sun of Righteousness arise with healing in His wings." The apostle Peter confirms the fulfillment. I Peter 2:24 (NKJV) Christ... "Who himself bore our sins in His own body...that we, having died to sins, might live for (in) righteousness...by whose stripes you were healed." Notice Peter's word..."were" healed. It is a completed work. However, just as a soul salvation is appropriated by faith, so healing is also appropriated by faith. Jesus has already provided healing; it is a finished and completed work, His gift to you. A gift given that you choose not to accept will do you no good. It is the same principle as not accepting salvation. You must accept His gift by faith.

Some people have been taught that God allows sickness to bring some kind of benefit to you. God is not the author of disease; that is Satan's job. God's gift is healing. You must choose to believe His word. Hebrews 11:1 says "faith is the substance (material evidence) of things hoped for, the evidence (proof) of things not seen." See it with the "eyes" of your faith, total belief, in God's word. James 1:6 (KJV) says, "let him ask in faith, nothing wavering." Verse 7, "for let not (he that wavereth) think that he shall receive anything of the Lord." Absolute faith leaves no room for doubt or questioning. There are some who teach that miracles are not for today, that they ceased in the first century when the last of the twelve Apostles died. That is a false teaching. Hebrews 13:8 says "Jesus Christ (is) the same yesterday, and today, and forever." How long is forever? I Corinthians 12:9 speaks of the Holy Spirit bringing Jesus' gifts of faith and healing to us. " ...to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit." You have every right, and the authority, to claim your healing. Jesus has already paid for it with His suffering and His blood. It is His gift for you paid in full, a finished, completed gift. Believe it; claim it today!

PROPHETIC WORDS AND EXHORTATIONS

In early January the Lord spoke to me and said this year there would be many sudden deaths. With the death of sports stars, and famous preachers of the gospel, that is coming to pass.

The world is experiencing plagues of locusts in Russia and Africa. There is much unprecedented flooding, fires, earthquakes and volcanic activity throughout the whole world. There is much fear and uncertainty throughout the entire earth my friends. Yet this is not the time to walk in fear. It is the time to share the gospel with a lost and dying world. Don't think for a moment that your witness isn't important. If one soul is spared an eternity in hell it makes a difference.

With our eyes on Israel, and the "plan" that seems to have been put forth, we see the puzzle pieces of prophecy coming together. End times aren't coming. They are here. Guard your heart, listen to Holy Spirit, and keep your armor on. Be blessed to be a blessing!
