In John 11 today we read about the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Look at verses 39-44:
39 Jesus said, Take away the stone. Martha, the sister of the dead man, exclaimed, But Lord, by this time he [is decaying and] throws off an offensive odor, for he has been dead four days! 40 Jesus said to her, Did I not tell you and promise you that if you would believe and rely on Me, you would see the glory of God? 41 So they took away the stone. And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said, Father, I thank You that You have heard Me. 42 Yes, I know You always hear and listen to Me, but I have said this on account of and for the benefit of the people standing around, so that they may believe that You did send Me [that You have made Me Your Messenger]. 43 When He had said this, He shouted with a loud voice, Lazarus, come out! 44 And out walked the man who had been dead, his hands and feet wrapped in burial cloths (linen strips), and with a [burial] napkin bound around his face. Jesus said to them, Free him of the burial wrappings and let him go.
Notice that when Jesus came to raise Lazarus, there was not one person who expected this! Jesus had been close friends with Lazarus and his sisters. They knew Him and had listened intently to His teachings, especially Mary, but their faith was only to the level where they could believe that Jesus could have, and would have, healed Lazarus IF He would have made it in time! Jesus was showing them this so that they could learn to believe God's Word for every situation without wavering! NOW, take this example of Jesus doing the impossible with you when you pray for this nation! We do NOT have to "put up" with 4 more years of an evil administration! We KNOW that these election results are NOT God's will, but man's choice AND corruption! GOD has promised to hear our prayer for this nation and He has spoken through His prophets and ministers that HE is doing a mighty work right now in the earth and in this nation! Let's make sure that WE are on GOD'S side so that when His Glory is shown for all to see, WE will be in position to enjoy it! AMEN! Here is Hillsong with "His Glory Appears":
Shalom in Him!
