The story of the tenth leper that returns to praise God is an exciting one! He is miraculously cleansed and able to return to his family after years of the horror of leprosy! But what of the other nine? Where are they and why did they not return to give thanks to Jesus for their healing? There are many excuses why one does not return to give thanks to God! This message explores nine specific excuses people use that keep them from being made whole.
God never limits His power in us according to our own limitations. Before Abraham and Sarah conceived Isaac, Ishmael came on the scene. Even though he was certainly not the son that God had promised to Abraham and Sarah, he was still a part of Abraham. When his mother set him away from her to die, God did not allow him to die because the promise God had made to him had not come to pass yet! If God made the promise, it cannot die!
This is a wonderful sermon about the blessings of dwelling in God's house. In Numbers, we read of Korah and his disobedience and rebellion that cost many their very lives. But the 84th Psalm dedicates its song to the sons of Korah and speaks of the friendliness of the house of God. When you personally recognize how amiable His house really is, you will desire to dwell in His house forever!
Everything you need is already in the house! Just look at this story of the widow and her two sons! The cruse of oil that God used to perform the miraculous in their lives was already sitting on the shelf the whole time! Your faith has to stand strong during those pregnant pauses of life when you cannot see light at the end of the tunnel! Your receiving what you want depends on you letting go of what you have!
There were three things that were revealed immediately before the Last Supper ... Judas was revealed ... Peter's weakness was revealed ... and the sleeping state of the church was revealed. Yet, none of these things deterred Jesus from His purpose! His focus, as always, was doing the will of His Father who had sent Him!
We will never live up to everything God created us to be until we recognize these two things ... He is worthy and He made us worthy! "For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by one man's obedience many will be made righteous." Romans 5:19 This message will encourage you to believe God for the best in your life because of the sacrifice that Jesus made to make us worthy!
Jesus could sleep during the storm because He completely trusted His Father! He was confident that His authority would prevail and they would indeed reach the other side, so He had no fear! He never let temporal circumstances distract Him from His eternal purpose! If we follow His example, we will be able to sleep through the storm like Him!
