In the Gospel of John, Chapter 11, the story of Jesus’ friend Lazarus’ death and return to life is explained. Please read. l would like to talk about verses 11 – 15. The Scripture reads; ” Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may wake him out of sleep. Then said HIS disciples , LORD, if he sleep, he shall do well. Howbeit JESUS spoke of his death: but they thought that HE had spoken of rest in sleep. Then said JESUS unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead. And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent that you may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.”
The disciples of JESUS had seen the LORD do many miracles before this, but still yet, the LORD wanted to increase their faith by raising Lazarus from the dead. Four days, Lazarus was dead in the grave and by the Word of JESUS CHRIST, he came walking out alive.
This is the GOD that we serve! Nothing is impossible with GOD! All Power is in HIS HAND.
All the people whom JESUS ministered to by miracles , had already lost all hope prior to HIS arrival.
The Bible says, that when we are weak, HE IS Strong.
We must learn to encourage each other to trust GOD. Share a testimony to encourage someone who is down. Encourage them to ask JESUS for help. HE IS Faithful to hear and answer.
Cry out to HIM as the blind man on the roadside. Over and over, and louder and louder, so much so that the disciples wanted to silence him. But JESUS heard him and came to him, asking what he wanted from HIM. He said LORD, I want to see. The LORD healed him and made him whole. This is the LORD’S desire, so that Glory could be given unto the FATHER and the SON.
In the Gospel of John, Chapter 14, verse 13, JESUS says” And whatsoever ye may ask in MY NAME, that will I do, that the FATHER may be glorified in the SON.”
HE goes on to say again in the next two verses, ” If you shall ask anything in MY NAME, I will do it. If you love Me, keep MY commandments.”
HE knows HIS sheep and they know HIM. HE wants you to be well and at peace. HE will answer your prayers and show up when you need HIM. HE will answer you and do miraculous things so that you can share your testimony to help another and to bring glory to the FATHER and the SON.
Be Blessed and encouraged in JESUS MIGHTY NAME. Amen and Amen
