" Chasing After The Wind"

If still at your age, something in you feels unfulfilled. You're chasing money, chasing things, chasing what you think is the American dream and still for all your hard work, something is missing.

Society even has you thinking that you will be fulfilled when you get that husband or that wife....and you believe the hype. So, lately you've been coming across as "thirsty." which tells me, You need more than what you have been taught to think you need.

As did the woman in John 4 who had already been through 5 failed marriages and was currently living with a man who was not her husband...None of those relationships fulfilled her.  She was still thirsty, she was still at the well, looking to quench her thirst, when she met Jesus. 

After she met Jesus, things changed. He fulfilled her. She didn't go home to that man that didn't fulfill her, but IMMEDIATELY she went back into town to tell the people about Jesus.

She had found her calling as an Evangelist.

John 4:1-29 NIV

SOMEBODY: Invest MORE time and effort into your relationship with Jesus. When he truly fulfills you, you will find your calling.

Even if you had more money....Then what? Boaz was wealthy, but he still needed to step into his role as a type of Christ, as a kinsman redeemer. In order to be fulfilled and really be of help to Ruth, Boaz had to connect with that part of him that was most like Jesus. 

Ruth 3:1-13 NIV, • Kinsman (Redeemer) in the KJV.

Simply Put: Find Jesus, get fulfilled, and from a full cup find your calling.

You've been searching  EMPTY, searching THIRSTY.  Beloved, It don't work like that.

Don't end up like Solomon at end of your days saying:

I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my labor, and this was the reward for all my toil.  Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. 

Ecclesiastes 2:10‭-‬11 NIV

"A Place Called Bethesda"

Afterward Jesus returned to Jerusalem for one of the Jewish holy days. Inside the city, near the Sheep Gate, was the pool of Bethesda, with five covered porches.

Crowds of sick people—blind, lame, or paralyzed—lay on the porches.

John 5:1‭-‬3 NLT

What I love about the text is the people...All the different people represented; people with all kinds of physical conditions, but yet they were all together in ONE PLACE, a place called Bethesda (at the pool) with ONE AGENDA. They were all trying to get healed.

How I wish, we here in America would realize the need for us all to be together, that we can all be together whatever the color of our skin, whatever our political views are, whatever condition we're currently in without fighting, without bickering...

Because at the end of the day, we're all just here on earth, trying to heal from some type of condition, some type of circumstance or situation...We're all just trying to heal from something.

Mentally, we're all at a place, at a pool called Bethesda trying to heal, trying to get some things right.

So, really we don't have room to talk about each other, to make fun of each other...When we all are imperfect and flawed in some way. Like the people that qualified to be at Bethseda, there is blindness in the land, lameness in the land, we have been a paralyzed people for too long.

The bible says: Do not give the devil an opportunity.

Ephesians 4:27 NET

Therefore, It's time to stop making room for the devil with all the fighting and bickering and realize we are one and the same in so many ways.

This a clarion call for peace, for healing....

Stop being bitter and angry and mad at others. Don't yell at one another or curse each other or ever be rude.

Ephesians 4:31 CEV

Beloved, Simply put: Behave better than that, especially if you're a Christian and allow the real healing to begin.

"He Worked A Miracle"

BELOVED, Stop looking at what  you're lacking or all the places you keep coming up short, because even in that....If you would just do whatever Jesus tells you to do without hesitation, what you get back will be better than what you had at first.

In Cana, they ran out of wine at a wedding Jesus just happened to be attending.  Coincidence? I think not!  Now Jesus could have just let the wine shortage be, and ruin the celebration for all who were in attendance, but he didn't. 

John 2:1-11 NIV

Instead, He worked a miracle right there in their midst....Even though, he had said to his mother (who was also there). “Woman, why do you involve me?”  “My hour has not yet come.”

Still, he worked a miracle....It wasn't his time yet to be OPENLY manifested as The Messiah. But still, he used the water they had to create the wine they needed.

John 2:4 NIV

He provided what they needed...

Even though, it could have possibly exposed him as The Messiah because only The Messiah could work a miracle like that...He took a chance and did it anyways.

Not to please his mother, or to prove anything to anybody...But Jesus turned water into wine, because THE GOD in him couldn't deny the need of the people, people whom He was sitting among at the wedding.

Simply Put: If you invite Jesus in, the way that he was Invited to that wedding in Cana...If you keep yourself in His Presence, THE GOD in him will not be able to deny your needs.

The Apostle Paul put it like this: I am convinced that my God will fully satisfy every need you have, for I have seen the abundant riches of glory revealed to me through the Anointed One, Jesus Christ!

Philippians 4:19 TPT

"That Inner Touch"

21 And the Lord God caused a deep sleep to fall on Adam, and he slept; and He took one of his ribs, and up the flesh in its place.

22 Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 

23 And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.”

Genesis 2:21‭-‬23 NKJV

Here, we see the 1st surgery ever to be performed. Right from the book of Genesis, God put Adam to sleep and surgically removed a rib from his body to produce Eve.

NOTICE: How God put Adam to sleep, but the bible never mentions God waking Adam up after the procedure was done.  There was no recovery time needed. Why?

Because when God touches you, (I call it that inner touch) from the inside out... You don't need nobody to tell you, you've been changed, you've been brought to life again. YOU JUST KNOW IT and you start talking, like you know.

So, Adam just started talking about Eve and how he had been given a part of himself through her....And NOTICE also that there was nothing mentioned in the text, that would imply that Adam was in pain as he talked.  Again, Why? Because Beloved, God is not the author of your pain. 

Think About This: If God is indeed the author of pain...Then Adam should have been in some serious pain after just having a rib removed from his body, but he wasn't. 

SOMEBODY: You have wrongfully accused God of some pain he didn't cause. THERE IS A DIFFERENCE between God allowing you to go through a painful situation AND Him, actually being THE CAUSE OF IT.

Know what you're saying.

17 The bible says: The righteous cry out, and the Lord (IS THE ONE WHO) hears, And delivers them out of all their troubles.

19 Also it says:  Many are the afflictions of the righteous, But the Lord delivers him out of them all.

Psalms 34:17 & 19‭ NKJ

So, How can he be your deliverer and the cause of your pain too?

The devil is the one that comes to steal, kill, and destroy. John 10:10

Therefore, Your pain is either the devil, SELF-inflicted, people associated, caused by sickness, or issues that come with this life, in general.

"Seriously Tho"

Jesus starts off the Book Of John Chapter 14 by saying:

“Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me. John 14:1 NIV

And nearing the end of the same Chapter he repeats himself again.

He starts off all casual like by saying:

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives.

THEN just when you think he has forgotten. Jesus repeats himself again, by saying:

Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid.

John 14:27 NIV

Beloved, When Jesus says something 2xs in scripture it has already been established...YOU JUST NEED TO PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT'S BEING SAID.

2 -is the number of establishment. He is not just repeating himself to be repeating himself.

Jesus has already established for you peace....He is our peace. Ephes 2:14

THEREFORE, You don't have to let your heart be troubled...The word, "let" implies that you have a choice in what you do. You don't have to be troubled over this, and over that, over all that's going on. You don't have to LET it get you down. He is our peace.

You don't have to LET it affect the condition of your heart.

SOMEBODY: YOU DON'T HAVE TO HAVE HEART ISSUES....There is nothing physically wrong with your heart. You are having heart palpitations because of the emotions you're feelings; everything going on right now has left you feeling some kinda of way about a lot of things and it's all affecting you physically.

Seriously Tho...This is the end of the matter like Daniel, many of you are deeply troubled by your thoughts in this seasons....(Those who are still able to gather a decent thought, that is) in spite of it all. Daniel 7:28 NLT

Still remember, through all that's going on, God's counter-offer is peace in the form of JESUS, a troubled free heart & mind in the form of JESUS.

Get to know Jesus in this season.

 He's the same Jesus that spoke up and calmed the disciple's storm; the winds & the waves obeyed him then....And there is still nothing on this earth, NOT one storm, he can't MASTER over, LORD over and control it, calm it because he is peace; let not your heart be troubled.  Seriously Tho.

Mark 4:36-41

"Choices"

The bible says: Jesus  saw at the water’s edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon.

Luke 5:1-3 NIV

I wonder, what made him choose Simon's boat and not the other one?

 Have you ever wondered what made God choose one thing  and not the other, one person and not the other etc?

NEVERTHELESS, If he gave Jesus a choice that day in something so simple as choosing which  boat he would teach from. BELOVED, You need to stop saying that you have no choice....You're doing what you're  doing because you have no choice.

God is the author of choices.

In Deut 30:19 God set before you life & death and TOLD YOU TO CHOOSE life.

Choices...

He even gave you a choice in how you would receive Him. Father, Son, Holy Spirit; choices...Is he God the Father, God the Son (who is also called The Word-  See John 1) or is he God the Holy Spirit to you? 

For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

1 John 5:7 KJV

Choices... Do you prefer; are you at your best in the morning, noon, or night? God gave you a choice. 

God called the light “day,” and the darkness he called “night.” And there was evening, and there was morning—the first day.

Genesis 1:5 NIV

In everything, even in the simplest of things..He has given you choices. BELOVED, Open your eyes, you do have choices.

Think With Me: It was in the morning when Jesus came walking on the sea to the disciples. The bible says: It was between 3:00a.m. -6.00 am. 

Matt 14:25 AMPC

But it was about Noon  when he came at sat on the well to rest in John 4:6 NIV

Yet, again...It was at Midnight when he showed up for Paul & Silas and broke the chains off the prison doors, freeing EVERYBODY in that one moment, in that same moment.

Choices...Which best represents the time you're currently in? Is God moving in your life? Is this your rest season with everything going on or is it Midnight and you need a breakthrough to break out of some stuff. For me, It's that 3:00 a.m -6.00 am when Jesus was walking/moving. He is moving in my life.

"Whose Really Due A Season?"

Let's face it! Everybody is not due a season, owed a turn because somewhere along the way... They got tired, they got distracted, they got persuaded into believing a lie and in return they quit pursuing their dreams, they quit striving to accomplish their goals, accomplish what was good in the earth.

And sadly they ended up doing the 2 things the bible tells us not to do.

1). They ended up growing weary.

2). They ended up losing heart or fainting (KJV) Galatians 6:9

Lot's wife for example...She knew the goal was to safely escape from where she was and start a new life somewhere else with her husband, but at a time when she was supposed to be "running for her life" so to speak... She got distracted, lost sight of the goal and looked back, turning into a pillar of salt. Genesis 19:1-26...AND THE MORAL OF THE STORY IS: Those who are still addicted to the past are not due a season, owed a turn.

HOWEVER: Those eligible for a season, those who really do have a season due are those of YOU who literally like The Hebrew Boys have been in THE FIRE, but still refused to quit, refused to stop believing in the power of YOUR GOD to come through, to deliver. Daniel 3

OR Like Job you've been through a time where you lost EVERYTHING, dealt with sickness in your body, dealt with so-called friends talking; but not really knowing what's going on, and top it off...Some of you have had to live with a foolish talking spouse the whole time.But still, like Job in all of that...You did not sin. Job 1:22 KJV

And so, Beloved, you really do have a due season coming, a turn that's owed you...It's coming because you didn't succumb to weariness, you didn't faint. CONGRATULATIONS!!! 🥳

Until Next Sunday.
