Their Jesus Video
Their Jesus
Isaiah 53:2b ……. He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to him, nothing in his appearance that we should desire him.
Sometimes we can take things for granted. We make assumptions based on presumptions and end up in error.
When I was at school we started every day with the whole class, including the teacher, reciting The Lord’s Prayer. Not any more.
“Merry Christmas” has been substituted with “Happy Holidays” and an ‘X’ now replaces ‘Christ’ in Christmas. What we took for granted has been removed to appease political correctness to avoid offending our antichrist society.
It is time for a radical rethink.
From the time that Christ was taken out of our schools we have created an X-generation who have little or no concept of who Jesus really is. The UK is no longer a Christian nation; that ‘X’ now represents all kinds of things. We have taken Christ for granted and He has been replaced by something else.
As I travel around the world I have discovered that my Jesus is not necessarily the same Jesus to Christians in other places. It is a huge mistake to presume so. Even among Christians, Jesus has become Lord X; a character with a personality of our own making. We all talk about Jesus but we are not all talking about the same person.
It is time to rediscover who Jesus Christ truly is. It is time for us all to meet Him in the Most Holy Place and to know Him intimately in every aspect of His glorious multi-faceted being. He is crying out for lovers; He is calling out for disciples.
It is time for us all to meet the awesome Jesus of the bible and stop making the assumption that Christians know who He is. When we do this we will be able to present a wonderful, fascinating and relevant Jesus to a lost generation and replace that ‘X’ with the Cross.
Lord Jesus, please forgive us for taking Christianity for granted. Amen

Freedom
Galatians 5:1 ….. It is for freedom that Christ has set us free. Stand firm, then, and do not let yourselves be burdened again by a yoke of slavery.
For years I have had problems with what is called ‘deliverance ministry’. Please do not misunderstand me, unsaved people are full of the world and that can often include demons, but when we come to Jesus at the cross at Calvary and give our lives to Him, we are set free.
That does not mean that we no longer have issues in our life to confront and deal with but it does mean that we now filled exclusively with the Holy Spirit and no other evil or demonic spirits are in us.
At Calvary, Jesus washes us clean with His precious blood and a process of sanctification begins. The Holy Spirit helps to refine us and we progressively become more and more like Jesus.
However, sometimes during this process, we come across well meaning people with a ‘deliverance ministry’ and they want to help Jesus to set us free.
This can often involve frequent visits over days, weeks, months and even years, as they take the unfortunate Christian on a regressive journey even, not uncommonly, as far back as the womb. This inward journey usually requires the ‘demonised’ Christian to writhe, scream and throw-up in a bucket as the ‘demons’ manifest at each appointment.
People I have met who have fallen victim to such ‘ministry’ are usually really messed-up and I ask myself if they are more messed-up after this ‘deliverance’ experience than before they started.
Sure, we all have scars from before we were saved; bad memories that need to be dealt with but making appointments to visit Doctor Deliverer is not the answer.
Christ THE deliverer is all that anyone needs to be completely set free.
However, this requires that we entirely surrender all to Jesus. Without our total and full surrender there will never be absolute freedom.
Our life ends and begins at Calvary when we are born again. Only Jesus Christ, the Son of God, can do this.
Thank you Lord Jesus that you came to set free. Amen

Blessed Video
Blessed
Psalm 144:13 …… Our barns will be filled with every kind of provision. Our sheep will increase by thousands, by tens of thousands in our fields….
More and more often I find myself reflecting on how blessed I am. I am tremendously blessed. Ever since I came to know Jesus Christ as my Lord and Saviour, over twenty years ago, He has blessed me abundantly. In fact, even before I knew Him, even when I was a sinner, God was looking out for me.
I know that the very breath I breathe is because of the love of God, His grace and His faithfulness. I am overwhelmed by the goodness of God.
There has never been a time when I have not had enough food to eat and enough food to share. Progressively, over the years, God has enlarged our ministry to become tens of thousands of members in the mission fields of the world. His anointing has increased to our leaders who are also greatly blessed and are in turn blessing many.
I cannot understand why some Christians moan and complain about their life. Yes, challenges come but Jesus never forsakes us, He never abandons us. He turns our challenges into triumphs.
Take some time right now to recall the goodness of God towards you; count your blessings. I guarantee that very quickly you will be thanking God and praising Him. You will repent for your ingratitude and begin to magnify the name of Jesus.
If you are not rejoicing with a heart that is full of thanksgiving and praise to God, perhaps it is because you have never given your life to Jesus. You can do that right now and immediately you will have something phenomenal to sing about. You will have been blessed with the gift of eternal life; rescued from death and darkness and brought into His marvellous light.
I am abundantly blessed, are you?
Lord Jesus, thank you for blessing us phenomenally. Amen
