Look beyond what the eye can see naturally Today is a great day for Jesus to come and get His Church, look beyond what the eye can see. Look at the spiritual side of the situation that you are in. Just this week in Iceland; the eruption of a volcano shooting up ash into the sky and grounding many people from flying. There are families that would like to get home; some are out of money, no bed to sleep in, etc. Today you need to focus on the things to come for you by realizing that we don’t have control over the next breath we take. As we look to the future let us realize that we need to lay up spiritual blessings for our inheritance.  

Luke 21:29-36 

29 And he spake to them a parable; Behold the fig tree, and all the trees; 

30 When they now shoot forth, ye see and know of your own selves that summer is now nigh at hand.We know the seasons by the signs of the year. We go through seasons in our life, now is the time to march forward by putting our faith in Jesus. To win the lost by being a light unto this world. 31 So likewise ye, when ye see these things come to pass, know ye that the kingdom of God is nigh at hand.Am I the  only one here that sees the falling away from true worship, commitment to living, trusting in Him only—question has the things of this world got a hold on you like the wedge of gold/silver and garment of Achan? Don’t let the temporal things in this world get your soul. 

32 Verily I say unto you, This generation shall not pass away, till all be fulfilled.This scripture is the direct words of our Savior—Jesus. Look at this verse and see how it fits into the situation of the United States, and the world, economy, weather, earthquakes, volcanoes, storms, etc.33 Heaven and earth shall pass away: but my words shall not pass away.God Word tells us to look up and past the way we see naturally and behold what is in store for those that endure to the end. God’s Word will not lead us in the wrong direction. As Moses led them out of Egypt; Jesus will lead us home.34 And take heed to yourselves, lest at any time your hearts be overcharged with surfeiting, and drunkenness, and cares of this life, and so that day come upon you unawares.We are a people that wants’ a real move of God and the operation of His Holy Spirit. We will hunger for the righteousness of Jesus over the things of this world.35 For as a snare shall it come on all them that dwell on the face of the whole earth.The five wise and five foolish virgins? Look unto Jesus and believe, confess, trust, be filled with the HOLY GHOST.36 Watch ye therefore, and pray always, that ye may be accounted worthy to escape all these things that shall come to pass, and to stand before the Son of man.As we see that day that is upon us let forget not to assembly ourselves together and look for him, praising and uplifting one another. Outside of the gate is a lost and dying generations of people that need to know Jesus. They want hope for their lives, as well as for their love ones.

SOMETHING FRESH TODAY LORD  

Do you ever feel like you have loss something or something is missing? You come to church and sing a few songs, hear some words, and leave but you still find that you are unsatisfied? I’m not knocking the church. The church is great, I just think that we desire more…..do you ever feel like you want more? Do you ever just get tired of the religious traditions, programs, and going through the same motions every week? Still empty on the inside, prayer life, reading your Bible less….you know what I’m talking about. We know that there’s something more in life, and we are searching for it. We spend our time, money, looking for these pieces. We search desperately to fill this void inside us. Are you hungry? Let me describe a juicy cooked steak, pizza, and when you are through you put the scraps in a trash bag. Question would any of you eat what’s in the trash bag? Even if you haven’t ate in days?This is leftover’s, why do we give our Jesus the left over’s when we come to church or in  our daily walk? We fill our lives with work, games, toys, projects, and every other sort of things that serves no greater purpose than to fill our life with more stuff. I believe by now you are getting my point. Point # 2.Got your mind made up that the preacher is just upset, this doesn’t affect me, give him 30 minutes and he hush. I have the answer for us today…change, change, change me Jesus.John Wesley used to ask two questions of the young men whom he sent out to preach: “Has anyone been converted?” and “Did anyone get mad?” if the answer to both questions was “No,” he told them he did not think they were called to preach the gospel, and sent them back to their business. WHEN THE HOLY GHOST CONVI CTS OF SIN, PEOPLE ARE EITHER CONVERTED OR THEY DON’T LIKE IT.God is going to show us this morning that He is God. There are some Elisha’s here that will let the Holy Ghost use them and speak what He says just like Elisha did in 2 Kings 5:8-118 So it was, when Elisha the man of God heard that the king of Israel had torn his clothes, that he sent to the king, saying, “Why have you torn your clothes? Please let him come to me, and he shall know that there is a prophet in Israel.” 9 Then Naaman went with his horses and chariot, and he stood at the door of Elisha’s house. 10 And Elisha sent a messenger to him, saying, “Go and wash in the Jordan seven times, and your flesh shall be restored to you, and you shall be clean.” GO AND WASH: IS WHAT WE ARE GOING TO DO BY ASKING JESUS TO COVER US WITH HIS BLOOD AND FORGIVE US…LET THE POWER OF GOD COME ON US AND THROUGH US PRODUCING WORSHIP IN HEAVENLY ATMOSPHERE.As we sanctify ourselves for His services then there is change taking place in our voids that need to be satisfied. Here comes the boldness to let His power manifest it’s self in you. We are created to worship and serve God.You are probably saying that happen in the Old Testament….like all the other stories of David, Abraham, Elijah, etc. look in the New Testament with me Peter, James, John, Mary, Timothy. 

Acts 9:1-6Then Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest 2 and asked letters from him to the synagogues of Damascus, so that if he found any who were of the Way, whether men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. 3 As he journeyed he came near Damascus, and suddenly a light shone around him from heaven. MOSES UPON THE MOUNTAIN…HIS GLORY AROUND US! 4 Then he fell to the ground, and heard a voice saying to him, “Saul, Saul, why are you persecuting Me?” 5 And he said, “Who are You, Lord?”Then the Lord said, “I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. It is hard for you to kick against the goads.”  6 So he, trembling and astonished, said, “Lord, what do You want me to do?”Then the Lord said to him, “Arise and go into the city, and you will be told what you must do.”  How people use to dance, shout, praise, worship in the Holy Ghost…we can today as well as yetersday. 

Acts 9:10-16Now there was a certain disciple at Damascus named Ananias; and to him the Lord said in a vision, “Ananias.” 

And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”  

11 So the Lord said to him, “Arise and go to the street called Straight, and inquire at the house of Judas for one called Saul of Tarsus, for behold, he is praying.  12 And in a vision he has seen a man named Ananias coming in and putting his hand on him, so that he might receive his sight.”  13 Then Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much harm he has done to Your saints in Jerusalem. 14 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on Your name.” 15 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen vessel of Mine to bear My name before Gentiles, kings, and the children of Israel.  16 For I will show him how many things he must suffer for My name’s sake.”   

As the Holy Ghost (power of God) struck Paul down on the way to persecute them in the way, God can move here today. I’m asking you to turn loose of everything that is controlling you, everything that you are seeking to fill your void and let God fill that hunger. You can have more than scraps from the table if you will believe and let Him have his way, do you need a miracle today? PENETCOST IS REAL : Paul trembled and was astonished……now is the time for us to let God move in us. We will have the Holy Ghost (jerks), be slayed in the spirit, time to  let God move. 

We must chase after God again, learn to seek His presence in our lives. It is time we stopped settling for the crumbs and started looking for the feast that He has prepared for us. Must keep God as the focus for our lives, know God, not about Him,Today is the day to find out just how real Jesus is? Invite Him into your heart and receive His forgiveness. We see the times are saying that Jesus is coming soon. Jesus is the answer to today’s situations. Praise Him,  Praise  Him.
