  • Virtue had gone out.

    When the woman with the issue of blood reached out for Jesus in the thronging crowd, she represented what we experience today when we have tried all remedies of the world & they do not not succeed. Touching the hem of Jesus garment. By Faith she reached out, by Faith she was healed , but in truth , her confession in front of everyone was the turning point. She touched the dirtiest part of the garment - the hem , she required faith to get her through the crowd ,reaching out for for Jesus. But her belief & confession to Christ made her whole. On confession of what she had done , then & only then , Jesus allowed her to go in peace. Mar 5:30 KJV — "And Jesus, immediately knowing in himself that virtue had gone out of him, turned him about in the press, and said, Who touched my clothes?" Mar 5:31 KJV — "And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?" Mar 5:32 KJV — "And he looked round about to see her that had done this thing." Mar 5:33 KJV — "But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. Mar 5:34 KJV — "And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague." And likewise, we all fall at the feet of Yeshua, & confess ,for we know the works he has wrought in us 🙏♥️ by Faith we are healed.

  • Ministry of Tears

    Cry with those who are crying ........ I remember when my Son came to me , his countenance was strained. This was after we had just completed a Park run together. He spoke of his separation & impending divorce from his then wife. I felt the weight he felt , I felt the hurt he felt , I could feel the tears welling inside me. But for him , at the time , I fought them back , reasoning a logical next steps approach to the situation. Imagine the pain of having your husband or wife look you in the eye and say, "I don't love you anymore-I want out of this marriage." I can't even begin to comprehend the shock, sorrow, and grief one would feel in such a situation. I had no wise words to say , no options to take but to feel & listen , holding back the tears. Also in recent months, I have felt an increased burden for my unsaved friends and loved ones. Bible prophecy makes it so clear that time on this old earth is running out fast and that surely Jesus is coming soon...perhaps today! So I have been praying...and weeping ...for my unsaved loved ones. It is the only way I know to minister to them! The great preacher, T. DeWitt Talmage, once wrote, "Help me explain a tear. A chemist will tell you that it is made up of salt and lime and other component parts; but he misses the chief ingredients-the acid of a soured life, the viperine sting of a bitter memory, the fragments of a broken heart. I will tell you what a tear is: it is agony in solution." These are powerful, moving words. And perhaps all of us have either witnessed or personally experienced the truth Talmage sought to convey. But I suggest to you that there is more to tears than sadness, sorrow, regret, and pain. Tears can be a release from stress and anxiety, a vent for frustration, a safety valve for overpowering emotions. Tears can be the most sincere expression of compassion and love. And just as raindrops wash the smoke, smog, and impurities from the atmosphere, so tears can wash away the stains of bitterness and disappointment from our souls. A time to weep As Solomon, perhaps the wisest man who ever lived, once declared, To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven...A time to weep, and a time to laugh (Ecclesiastes 3:1,4). We live in a time when everyone wants to laugh all the time, but no one is willing to weep. And if someone does cry, it makes people really uncomfortable. Children are hushed and told not to cry. Men are taught that tears don't go with a macho image...that only sissies cry. And women who weep at some sadness or loss are interrupted and advised to wipe their eyes and get control of themselves. Ministry of Tears No! No! No! Let me cry. It's all right to cry. I need to cry. In fact, one of my goals is to minister to those who are weeping. I want to do all I can, to say what I can...and when there are no deeds or words that can help, to weep with them. Perhaps my resolution is best expressed in the words of the late Bob Pierce in his moving book, Let My Heart Be Broken With the Things That Break the Heart of God. When Jesus wept, His tears were for others. Both Matthew and Luke describe how He wept over the city of Jerusalem for those who would not hear and accept the Truth! We, too, should weep for others. Weep over souls Should we be less concerned over lost souls than our Saviour? Why are we not crying and praying for the lost to be saved before it is eternally too late? I've seen people moved to tears by the plight of fictional characters in a paperback book. A melodramatic film may jokingly be described as a "two-hanky" movie, and it's perfectly all right. But the same people who get involved and empathize with artificial stories can see real live people around them dying and slipping into eternity without God and never feel a twinge or shed a tear. I wonder-if the unsaved friends and loved ones I'm praying for don't seem to be any closer to the Lord than when I first started, could it be because I haven't shed any tears for them? The Bible says, They that sow in tears shall reap in joy. He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him (Psalm 126:5, 6). Weep over sin Sometimes I can hardly watch the news on television or read the daily paper without crying. My heart breaks at what is going on in our nation and the world today. There is such evil and perversion, such wickedness and violence. How long will God allow men's hearts to be filled with such deliberate, willful sin before calling them to judgment? I believe we are to weep over sin, whether our own, our family's, or our nation's. The Apostle Paul wrote, For godly sorrow worketh repentance to salvation (2 Corinthians 7:10). I am reminded of how Peter, after denying the Lord during the awful hours before the Crucifixion, went out, and wept bitterly (Matthew 26:75). Those tears of repentance led to his being forgiven and restored. Weep over sorrow Just as there is a time to weep over souls and a time to weep over sin, there is also a time to weep over sorrow. Do you remember when Mary and Martha showed the Lord the tomb where their brother Lazarus was buried? The Bible says, Jesus wept (John 11:35). There is a time for sorrow... and when it comes, tears are appropriate. Paul instructed, Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep (Romans 12:15). Notice that the verse did not say to laugh with those who are laughing and to tell those who are crying to stop and cheer up. No, it says to cry with those who are crying! That means to share their sorrow-to get down under the burden with them. And when you share their tears-when all you can do is cry with them-you'll find it is a tremendously effective way to minister your compassion and love. I once read about a pastor who had suffered the traumatic loss of his little son. This man told me that in the midst of his grieving, the people of his church did not understand or know how to weep with him. They would come to him and say, "Pastor, why are you crying? Don't you have any faith?" After a while this minister wrote a book about what he had learned during his sorrowful experience. He called it, Jonathan, You Left Too Soon. But the main lesson I learned from his experience was that in the day of sorrow, it's okay to weep. In fact, for most people, it's a really good way to cope with loss and grief and begin to heal the broken heart and crushed emotions. Tears can be tremendously therapeutic. I know I have been made acutely aware of the value of tears. And I pray that God will make me willing to weep with those who weep, whether they cry tears of pain, heartache, sorrow...or joy! I encourage you to consider whether God can also use you in a ministry of tears. Remember, though, that our tears will not -cannot-last long. The psalmist sang, Weeping may endure for a night, but joy cometh in the morning (Psalm 30:5). I'm here to tell you that a great morning is coming soon, when we will all be in the presence of the Lord. Oh, what a glorious promise and steadfast hope! For on that glad day, God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away (Revelation 21:4). No wonder Jesus said, Blessed are ye that weep now: for ye shall laugh (Luke 6:21).

  • Who is Your Cornerstone ?

    It is better to fall on the cornerstone & be broken to pieces than the cornerstone fall on you & grind you to dust. Jesus Christ was quite direct & explicit in Matthew 21 when he was speaking to the Pharisees & Sadducees of the day. He was describing exactly how they were receiving him , the prideful rejection of Jesus as the Son of God. Even the lack of understanding of King David's Psalm 1044 years earlier as a prophecy was quite telling. [Psalm 118:22 KJV] The stone [which] the builders refused is become the head [stone] of the corner. Jesus warned the Pharisees & Sadducees of the day , what the consequences would be. This translates to today & how caught up we are in our own worldly perspectives & idolatry. [Mat 21:42 KJV] Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes? [Mat 21:43 KJV] Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof. Speaking again to the Pharisees' & Sadducees of that time, Jesus warned them of their impending loss , bringing the "fruits of Christ" to a nation who was ready to receive of him. [Matthew 21:44 KJV] And whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken: but on whomsoever it shall fall, it will grind him to powder. The amazing thing that Jesus states, is "whosoever shall fall on this stone shall be broken" When you are ultimately brought low & into despair , you fall at the feet of Jesus 🙏♥️ There is brokenness & a state of despair, but only when you "open" to Christ Jesus in belief will you taste of the "Living Water" of Jesus Christ. The Coming judgement of Jesus Christ ,for those who do not know him, "will grind him to powder" It is better to be allowed to be broken, become opened & healed by Jesus Christ than to be ground as a powder & blown away by the wind.
