A Supernatural Savior

Malachi 3:6 – “For I am the Lord, I do not change; therefore you are not consumed, O sons of Jacob.”

            We serve a God who does not change. When everything around us is changing, He does not change. James the half-brother of Jesus writes in James 1:17, “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” Note the words, “with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning.” The New Living Translation says, “He never changes or casts a shifting shadow.”     

  

            The governments of men rise and fall. The economies of the world experience increases and decreases, but the God we serve never changes. People may fail you, but God will never fail you. Hebrews 13:8 says, “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” He is an unchanging God.


His love, His mercy, and His purpose have never changed. He came to this earth for a purpose. He is a supernatural Savior. Titus 3:5 says, “He saved us, not because of the righteous things we had done, but because of His mercy, He washed away our sins, give us a new birth and new life through the Holy Spirit.” 


His purpose in coming this fallen planet was “to destroy the works of the devil” (I John 3:8). Throughout the pages of the four Gospels Jesus performed many supernatural miracles:


•   He healed the sick 

•   He opened blinded eyes

•   He cleansed the leper

•   He made the lame to walk again

•   He restored the broken 

•   He raised the dead back to life again

•   He redeemed the lost from destruction.  


Miracles are defined in the Bible as signs and wonders.  Mark 16:20 says, “And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following.” Jesus Christ is a supernatural Savior. He is still the miracle worker, and He can turn every situation around for His glory.

Rebuilding the Broken Altar of Prayer

In Matthew 21: 12-13 , “ Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. 13 And He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer,’ but you have made it a ‘den of thieves.’” Jesus made this declaration, “My house shall be called a house of prayer!”  I believe that God is calling us back to the altar of prayer.  For several weeks the Lord has dealt with me about rebuilding the broken altar of prayer in our personal and corporate lives.  If we are going to see spiritual breakthrough in our churches and communities then we must rebuild and return to the altar of prayer. Wayman Rogers writes, “The ministry of prayer is the most important of all ministries in the church.  Prayer creates the atmosphere and binds the powers of darkness so the gospel of Jesus can go forward and the church can prosper....

The Shout of a King is Among Them

Numbers 23:21 - “He has not observed iniquity in Jacob, Nor has He seen wickedness in Israel. The Lord his God  is  with him, And the shout of a King  is  among them.” In this passage of Scripture, the king of Moab had hired the prophet Balaam to speak a curse over the children of Israel.   He saw Israel as a threat to his kingdom.   Numbers 22:2-3 – “Now Balak the son of Zippor saw all that Israel had done to the Amorites. And Moab was exceedingly afraid of the people because they were many, and Moab was sick with dread because of the children of Israel.” When the enemy sees the people of God rising up in faith, he becomes very concerned and moves to keep us from fulfilling our assignment.   We learn in Numbers, Balaam could only speak what the Lord gave him to speak.   Instead of a curse he speaks a blessing. The enemy seeks our destruction, but God!   Listen to the conversation between God and Satan in ...

They Turned Back in the Day of Battle

Psalms 78:9 – “ “The children of Ephraim, being armed, and carrying bows, turned back in the day of battle.”             Ephraim was the younger of two sons of Joseph.   His first born was Manasseh.   It was Ephraim that received the blessing of Jacob.   The tribe of Ephraim became the largest of the ten northern tribes of Israel.   Many times the Bible used the name Ephraim to represent the whole nation of Israel.             In verse 9 they are armed and carrying bows.   They are dressed, equipped, and ready to battle.   Yet we learn that they turned back in the day of battle.   The Bible identifies this as sin.   To turn back in the day of battle was displeasing to God.               To be armed meant that they were equipped with armor, a sword, and a shield. ...
