BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD

BEHOLD THE LAMB OF GOD

John 1:28-29… these things were done in Beth-ab-a-ra, beyond Jordan where John was baptizing…

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, behold the lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.

Behold means to fix your eyes upon. behold (fix your eyes) upon Jesus and the finished work at the cross.

Every aspect of your life was laid out at Calvary. your healing, your prosperity, your salvation. all of this was done at the cross.

Through the blood of Jesus, you were saved, sanctified, glorified, and purified so pure until his holy spirit could come and dwell in you.

When you get born again Gods spirit inters into your spirit and your spirit is sealed…  Satin cannot touch your spirit…behold the lamb of God.

Fix your eyes upon Jesus… unto him who is able…he is able to fulfill all your needs. direct your attention to Jesus and get over into the supernatural.

 2^nd Corr. 3:17-18… now the lord is that spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.

NO MORE CAPTIVITY, YOU ARE FREE,

free from bondage,

free from confusion,

free from stress,

free from depression.

vs 18… but we all, with open faces as beholding in a glass, the glory of the lord, and we are changed into the same image from glory to glory, even as by the spirit of the lord.

He is saying, keep your eyes upon Jesus and you will be transformed into the image of what you are beholding. you will be transformed into the image of Jesus.

It is not a transformation of your works, or your effort, it is the transformation of your soul by the supernatural power of God through his son Jesus, the lamb of God.

God sees us through Jesus, the key to deliverance is to stop looking at the circumstances around you, and start looking at the supernatural realm. Jesus

Don’t be preoccupied with your natural ability it only leads to disappointment and emptiness.

       Math 14: 22-28… natural man can’t walk on water, if you are going to walk on water, you have to keep your eyes upon Jesus.

As long as Peter kept his eyes on Jesus, he was in the realm of the supernatural… when you behold supernatural things you become what you behold.

While Peter was in the supernatural, watching the supernatural, natural things started taking place around him…

Sometimes things are going great and then a circumstance shows up and the first thing we do is get over in the natural… instead of beholding the lamb of God we panic…

Math 14:29-33 says… peter said lord if it is you help me come to you on the water…Peter actually walked on the water to go to Jesus.  How did he do that? His eyes were fixed on Jesus.

But before he got to Jesus the wind came up and he started looking at the circumstances and took his eyes off Jesus. When we take our eyes off Jesus we get back into the natural and try to do things in our own efforts and own works, and that is how we get defeated.

You will never have victory in the natural realm, we have an adversary. The devil does everything he can to get you to take your eyes off Jesus.

Every problem you face is to get your eyes off Jesus, every bill that comes in, every problem in your marriage…It is all brought about by the devil.

When you take your eyes off Jesus you are no longer walking in the supernatural…  now is the time to behold the lamb of God.

Keep beholding him,

Brother Andy

PRAYER TIME

 PRAYER TIME

You will want to talk to God like you would to your best friend.

He desires us to seek Him and worship Him. He wants to hear about everything in our lives.

 1 Peter 5:7   Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

  When going to bed at night, you want to ask God for                   forgiveness of your sins. Let God know that you forgive any aught that you might be holding against any one, (living or deceased).

Matthew 6:12And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors.

This will open up your Prayer line to God. If we hold any unforgiveness against someone, God can not hear our prayers. As evidenced in the Lords prayer, the Our Father. Forgive us our debts, (sins against God) as we forgive our debtors. (Who have sinned against us)

 Now you will want to pray for your loved ones and yourself. Name them as you pray for them.

Ask the Lord to renew your mind.

 Isaiah 40:31   But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

You will want to plead the blood of the Lamb on your head, heart, mind, body and spirit. Thank God that you and your family are saved. Plead the blood of the Lamb on your children and love ones. Over their cars, homes and declare good health and success in their lives. Ask the Holy Spirit to guide them into paths of righteousness.

Hebrews 13:12   Wherefore Jesus also, that he might sanctify the people with his own blood, suffered without the gate.

 Ask the Lord to send his Angels to minister to your needs and to guard your mind as you sleep. Ask him to let your dreams be righteous dreams.

 You will want to repeat this in the morning. Continue to plead the Blood of the Lamb in all things. When you drive your car, etc… 

James 5:16   Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.

If you want something find it in His word and ask Him for it. (Lord it says in your word….).   Believe by faith that you will have it.

Remember that if you want to know what God wants from you, you must seek Him. Prayer and reading his word will draw you in closer to Him.

Hebrews 13:15   By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name

CHOICES THAT LEAD TO ETERNITY

CHOICES THAT LEAD TO ETERNITY

Regardless whether a person believes in Heaven or Hell, regardless how much you know about religious or secular writings, you will spend eternity somewhere.

You may very well think; that is crazy thinking. You live, you die, end of story. Not so. In all of my weekly lessons, I never speak much about hell. Reason being, people stop reading when you speak about hell.

Hear me out. Life is so short and with today’s chaotic happenings, you could lose your life at the most unexpected time. The choices you make and the lifestyle you choose will be the determining factor on where you will spend eternity.

I am not responsible for where you will spend eternity. I am only responsible for letting you know your choices and which one is the right choice.

By choosing Jesus Christ as savior and making Him the Lord of your life, you make the best choice.

By not choosing Him as Lord then the alternative choice is already made for you.

John 14:6   ⁶ Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Because of Adams sin in the garden of Eden we as humans were separated from God the Father. Jesus came to shed His blood as a sacrifice, to redeem us from our sins, so that we might regain our fellowship with the father.

Jesus is both God and man, by accepting him as savior we are automatically reunited with God.

Accepting Jesus as Lord of your life will allow the Holy Spirit to come into your life and work in your life. You will be able to make spiritual choices with his guidance.

Gods promises and His provision will carry you through the hard times in your life. He will give you divine strength and the blessings stored up for you in heaven will be poured into your life. You become a child of God and heir to his kingdom.

Isaiah 56:7-8   ⁷ Even them will I bring to my holy mountain, and make them joyful in my house of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted upon mine altar; for mine house shall be called an house of prayer for all people.

⁸ The Lord God, which gathereth the outcasts of Israel saith, Yet will I gather others to him, beside those that are gathered unto him.

Seek the Lord while you can. God will have mercy upon you and forgive you for all your short comings. Everyone stumbles and falls in life, but with Jesus, the Lord will pick you up and help you in your time of need. You can always put your trust in His word.

Every word the bible is the inspired word of God when his word is spoken it will accomplish what He says. You must be able to hear and understand what the word is saying to you.

John 8:43-45-47-51  

43:  ⁴³ Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word.

45:  ⁴⁵ And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not.

47:  ⁴⁷ He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God.

51:  ⁵¹ Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death.

Jesus is asking why can’t you understand what I am saying, is it because you are unable to do so. People that don’t understand because they refuse to listen. If you have had children you probably understand this. Sometimes you need to just stop and listen for God to speak to you.

The attitudes and actions of some people clearly define them as followers of the wrong choice. They may not be conscious of it but their hatred of the truth, their lies and their wrong intentions indicate how far their choice has taken them.

Anyone whose father is God listens gladly to the word of God. They have made the right choice. Where will you spend eternity?

When Jesus says those who obey won’t die, he is talking about spiritual death. Not physical death. Those who accept Christ Jesus as Lord of their lives will be raised from the grave to live eternally with Him.

Think about your choices. Where will your choices take you? What road are they taking you down? Are your heaven bound with the Savior? The alternative to being heaven bound is not good. Time is running out, choose the Savior.

Stay in the word,

Brother Andy
