Today I want to share from "Grace Inspirations" by Joseph Prince.
JESUS MAKES ALL THINGS NEW

John 1:3 All things were made
through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.

Any electronic product which you buy
usually comes with an instruction booklet which says, “Send only to authorized
dealers for maintenance and repairs.” Similarly, when something in your body or
life breaks down, you go back to Jesus, your Creator and Maker. You go to Him
because God’s Word tells us that “all things were made through Him, and without
Him nothing was made that was made”.
The Bible says that in the beginning,
God created everything by speaking (Genesis 1), and Jesus was the Word who
caused everything to come to pass. (John 1:1–2, 14) So when relationships in
your family break down, when your finances are low or when some part of your
body isn’t working properly, you go to Jesus who can fix it and even make it
better than before!
A mother from our church testified of
how God gave her a brand new daughter who used to be a very rebellious
teenager. The day the girl gave her life to Jesus marked the start of a new
life with her family. She also became the face to look out for in the national
swimming arena. When asked by reporters about her record-breaking feats, she
told them that it was Jesus who did it all for her!
A lady once approached me and said,
“Pastor Prince, I don’t know if you still remember me, but I came to you before
when I was a divorcee. This is my husband—the same man I divorced some years
ago. We remarried and these are our children!” Now, this doesn’t usually happen
in cases where divorce has taken place, but this couple looked to Jesus and saw
their broken family made whole!
When man puts something that has been
broken back together, it is usually not as good as before. But when Jesus does
it, all things become new! (2 Corinthians 5:17) The One who made the heavens
and the earth is more than able to make it better than it was before!
Thought For The Day: When something in your body or life
breaks down, go back to Jesus, your Creator and Maker.
I LOVE this! Whether the situation you are facing is spiritual, mental, physical, financial, family or job related, the very FIRST person you should 'consult' is the Creator of all that is! HE knows the end from the beginning (Isaiah 46:10)! He is the ONLY One Who is Omniscient (All-knowing: Psalm 139:6; Psalm 147:5; 1 John 3:18-20), Omnipresent (Everywhere present: Jeremiah 23:24; Psalm 139: 7-10; Hebrews 4:13), and Omnipotent (All- powerful: Job 9:4-10; Ephesians 3:20; Revelation 19:6)! HE should be our first, and most important Confidant! THEN, as He leads you forth with peace and joy, go ahead and include those whom HE has placed in your life for strong and powerful prayer agreement! No one else should ever hear of your problem, situation or circumstance! Believers are sometimes too free with their 'prayer requests' and share things with people who are unqualified to help them because they do not know and believe the VICTORY provided for us in the Word of God, OR they agree with the Word, but do not yet know how to pray and declare the Word! In either situation, you are involving people who cannot help you stay built up in prayer, or who may be 'praying' in doubt, fear and unbelief! All of these things are very important to consider when you are believing God for the miraculous! AMEN! Here is Hillsong UNITED with "Shadow Step":
Shalom in Him!
