Greetings in The Name of Jesus Christ, Omnipotent God,
Promises
” For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it. Mark 8:35 NKJV
Our life is first lost by offering it as a living sacrifice. This sacrifice is our response to God’s overwhelming love, poured out for us on the cross. How can there be any other acknowledgement? In this offering of our lives, we find true life.
Jesus said to him, ” If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. ” Mark 9:23 NKJV
Can you believe?
” Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. Mark 11:24 NKJV
Take note of the order. Pray, believe you receive, and then you will have. We like to skip the believing step and go straight to receiving. We are spiritually lazy when it comes to the exercising of faith. Jesus did not speak these words whimsically or metaphorically. These words are truth. He is The Truth and He speaks the truth.
” And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover. ” Mark 16:17-18 NKJV
The modern church tends to overlook these promises. Some of them are uncomfortable. There is a time, place, and context for all of them. They are also The Word of God. The Holy Spirit will guide you in their fulfillment.
Grace, mercy, and peace will be with you from God the Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ, the Son of the Father, in truth and love. 2 John 1:3 NKJV
your brother in Christ
P.S. Jesus Christ is coming soon
