The suffering of infirmity, like the woman in Luke 13:10-13

Luke 13:10-13 And Jesus was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. And behold there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, “woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.” And he laid his hands on her, and immediately she was made straight,and glorified God.

Infirmity means: The quality or state of being infirm. The condition of being feeble: frailty. Disease, malady. A personal failing: foible one of the besetting infirmities of living creatures is egotism -A.J Toynbee. Definition by Merriam-webster dictionary. But there’s no dictionary definition for spirit of infirmity. It can only be understood by reading your Bible.

We all have had infirmity that render us crippled. When we are spiritually tired (meaning virtue has left your body, being vulnerable), but yet never give up the fight by keep on praying and fasting, unknown to us, our flesh do gets weak. Jesus himself said in Matthew 26:41 “the spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak.” Whenever we are battling spiritually, according to Paul in Ephesians 6:12 “wrestling against principalities, powers, rulers of darkness of this world, spiritual wickedness in high places,” and lets not forget sometimes our own selves, like our thoughts. When all hell breaks loose in your life by the devil, and he can’t break a determined spirit that keeps the faith regardless, he then touches your body like he did Job in the book of Job, when he made a wager to God, that if he took away all Jobs positions, he will curse Him to die, Job 1:8-11.

The spirit of infirmity obviously is her not being able to stand straight. Anything concerning your back can prevent you from standing straight. This implies that she was carrying some kind of a burden. I use to wondered why didn’t Jesus say to her like so many he had healed in the past, “your sins are forgiven or your faith has made you whole.” Instead Jesus said, “woman thou art loosed!” He saw her, she didn’t go to him. Because she was in the synagogue and it was mentioned she had the infirmity for eighteen years. I have to believe it wasn’t her faith that kept her bound, but something about it? Or could it be like the woman with the issue of blood, who couldn’t find a cure for twelve years other than to touch the hem of Jesus garment, Matthew 9:20-22? Could it be for the eighteen years, faithfully attending the synagogue this woman was praying for a miracle about her condition till her faith was faltering? No one seems to have even noticed her in the synagogue and the fact that Jesus did and touched her could have also meant that he was the first person to recognize, she had a need. And even to the fact this woman was there at the synagogue for all those years all alone? Back in those days a man is not to touch a woman in public and her not being his wife or daughter, especially in the synagogue. They didn’t even sit together like we do today.

Luke 13:16 Jesus knew that this woman was bound by Satan. It wasn’t nothing she had done. This woman was bound by Satan obviously because of her faithfulness in God. From the time I read this woman immediately straighten up, I knew it was because it had to be some kind of weight she was carrying.

God don’t need no permission

There are so many things in the world and about life that doesn’t need our permission, especially God the creator. But yet we try to get control by seeking power. The atheists, religious people shouldn’t judge them or try and prove to them the existence of God, his existence is all around and within us. As for myself, undoubtedly he does, and I believe in Him. When I think of the sun, moon, stars, and the entire universe, and all of his creations, I realized you don’t have to believe in these things for them to exists, they just do, regardless.

We are born into a world with free will and to live a life with the existence of good and evil. It existed before we were born and would continue after we die. Death, there’s no control, even with free will, death is guaranteed to happen, no permission.

Life may seem like we have a choice, but truth is, “do we really?” There are too many unanswered questions for us to try and figure out, like what happens after we die. We now can understand why some people would want to believe there’s more to life and maybe even to the point of creating a God to make it all make sense. No one wants the meaning of live to be live through good and bad, then you die, and that’s it.

The existence of God can only become real with an manifestation experience like a miracle of the impossible that became possible. For example the burning bush for Moses, Exodus 3. Abraham and his wife Sarah had a baby in old age, Genesis 21:5. David a shepherd boy killed a giant Goliath, 1Samuel 17. Mary a virgin give birth, Luke 1:26-38. And the list goes on in the Bible.

There’s no permission needed when concerns God’s and his plans for all creation.

Our world is in the process transitioning

What’s going on in the world is like deja vu with the black lives matters protests over George Floyd, covid-19, and the trouble the world leaders are facing. I believe God allows flash back of our past to the present for us to reevaluate the lessons we should have learned. “Come on people, are we well learnt or just continue repeating?” Those who are honestly moving through the Holy spirit by prayer and fasting, has eyes to see and ears to hear, what the spirit is saying. It takes death to bring about new beginnings.

“God is such an awesome God!” He allows us who draw close to him, to reveal his secrets to us. Some of you who are jealous because of this, just remember it’s your choice to either draw near to him also or not. Everything that is going on in the world today is to show us how far we came lest we forget. Remember, if it hadn’t been for the Lord who was on our side, who has brought us through. It’s all preparation for what’s about to take place in the near future. Now is our weeping time and our joy is going to come.

We are the world and our mindset is what can make the difference in the positive outcome of our future. Let’s start with obedience to God.

Churches where do you now stand with God and his righteousness?

This beautiful church is a reminder of how innocent and pure faith in God use to be. “Oh the good old days.”

In this enlightened world today, it is sad to think of all the revelation of misconducts that has been hidden and now revealed by some of the shepherds of the churches.

In the book of revelation it spoke about John vision of Christ and the seven lampstands representing the seven churches and the seven stars in Jesus right hand is the seven angels of the seven churches. Jesus prophesy to John the coming judgements on the seven churches. The first church Ephesus, forsaken the love they first had, Revelation 2:1-7. Second Smyrna, suffering church, don’t be afraid, Revelation 8-11. (3) Pergamos, compromising church, Revelation 2:12-17. (4) Thyatira, Committing adultery with Jezebel, Revelation 2:18-29. (5) Sardis, the dead church, Revelation 3:1-6. (6) Philadelphia, the faithful church, Revelation 3:7-13. (7) Laodicea, the lukewarm church, Revelation 3:14-22.

To every church that exists today a coming judgements is upon you. It scares me for the shepherds when I hear some of them say, “my church” isn’t it God’s? Luke 12:48 To whom much is given, much is required, don’t they understand? Every church according to John vision in Revelation 1:20 has an angel. I guess the angels are standing guard, watching what’s going on and reporting it to Jesus. Jesus is on his way, but before he returns all things are going to be made righteous. Revelation 2:26-29 To the one who is victorious and does my will to the end, I will give authority over the nations...

The structure on how some churches operate has changed over the years. With different denominations and nondenominational churches, we can no longer see the churches who started out with the moving of the Holy Spirit, existing today by it. The churches are a business, and operates as such. We all understand that business are opened for profit (money). Let’s not get it twisted, having money is not evil, but it can’t be more important than the Father’s business. The Father’s business is about winning souls for the Kingdom, not fame or fortunes. Being a shepherd today is no long required a calling from the Lord, some people sees it as a money making career.

Beloved, the Lord’s church was built on the wisdom, knowledge and understanding through the Holy Spirit revealing God’s will and existence, in opening our blind eyes to see and our deaf ears to hear. Matthew 16:13-20 when Jesus asked his disciples, “Who do people say that I, the Son of Man, am?” Peter said, “you are the Christ, the Son of the living God.” Jesus said to him, Simon, son of Jonah, you are happy because you did not learn this from man. My father in heaven has shown you this… On this rock I will build My Church…

Judgement belongs to the Lord, and we all know that God is the same yesterday and today and forever Hebrews 13:8. We must look at ourselves through the vision of John in Revelation 1-3, and ask the question are we the same as those churches today? To think of it even technology has enter in the churches. The things we use to do, how we use to be and how we are right now keeps changing. I pray that faith in the Lord never change.

The Kingdom of God begun with the birth of Jesus. The church is the construction work of the building of the Kingdom and when it is established and completed according to God’s will, Jesus will return to rule. His life death and resurrection was a portal to heaven and earth to make it one, not separated.

“It doesn’t matter if your black or white, you are your brother’s keeper.”

God created us as a family. A family is to love, care, respect and protect each other. Look at it like this, God is the parent and the earth is our home in which we all live. We’ll have disagreements and fights, but when our dinner is prepared and ready for eating, we all have to come to the table before our parents in respect towards one another and furthermore in all respect unto them.

God doesn’t love either of us more than the other because of the color of our skin, we are all his children, John 3:16 “God so loved the WORLD.” The only separation that occurred is sin entering our lives through disobedience. The separation has causes us to become blind, we’re no longer able to see clearly(truth) it’s only through the power of the Holy Spirit and our faith can we see.

None of us can cast a stone at each other, for we all have sinned, Romans 3:23. Power, superiority and reverence belongs only to God.

Genesis 4:1-13 The story of Cain who killed his brother Abel. Genesis 4:6-7 The Lord said to Cain, “why are you angry? Why is your face downcast? If you do what is right, will you not be accepted? But if you do not do what is right, sin is crouching at your door; it desires to have you, but you must rule over it.”

God had already foreseen what was going to happen between these two brothers when he give Cain the warning about his mindset and yet Cain like his parents disobey God; convince his brother Abel to go out to the field and then killed him.

God never gave up on us from the beginning. He didn’t kill Adam, Eve, the serpent and even Cain for their sins. He allowed them to live out their lives. Now we can understand why sinners seems to get away with being bad.

It is God’s love, compassion, mercy and forgiveness that allows us sinners to live out our lives, giving us a chance to change our wicked ways. We are created in His image, why not fight to allow His image to shine through us and rule over the sin crouching at our doors.

Are you a Abel or a Cain? Ask yourself this question when you find yourself being judgemental and prejudice towards your brother.

The clouds opened up and I saw Jesus

Look at this picture carefully. Jesus is not nailed to the cross. He’s not dead he has risen. I had a vision the sky opened up and Jesus with his arms stretched wide like this picture was descending to the earth.

As I recognized it was Jesus, what looked like thousands of angels, surrounding behind him in the sky with crosses was also descending to the earth. A voice, the Holy Ghost spoke within and said they were not angels, but all saints who died following Jesus.

Whenever the heavens opens up, something is about to happen. To see Jesus and the saints of the past descending to present earth with crosses can only mean one thing, salvation of man.

Interpretation of the vision: What’s going on in our world today, we definitely need divine help. It’s not something that can be resolved by man, it is a God problem. All the ancestors prayers, including the prayers of the past and present saints, God is answering. The reason He opened up the heavens is like when there’s a drought He pour down the rain. Jesus once again is leading the way to our salvation.

Even when being stoned Stephen kept his faith in the Lord, an example for us to follow

Like Stephen when we feel persecuted or life just seems to throw us a bad break and all hell is break lose in it. We must keep the faith and let our focus be always on our Lord and saviour Jesus Christ.

With all that’s going on in our world today with the pandemic being like the stones that was thrown at Stephen, if we stand for righteousness in being obedient whiles others die we will sleep.

David a man after God’s own heart didn’t finished his course, but Paul on the way to Damascus did!

35 Best King David images | King david, David, Biblical art

King David known as being a man after God’s own heart. God was David’s everything. He had a relationship with God unlike no other. I believe David being the youngest of his brothers was some how isolated from them and all he had in his life as a companion and friend was the Lord. His responsibility as a shepherd to the many sheep, the Lord has always been with him. With no mention of David’s mother and his relationship with his father all I can think about is Psalm 27:10, “When my father and mother forsake me, then the Lord will take me up,” he wrote. David’s faith in the Lord was unmovable like that of the love of God for him, which is undeniable. David is proof that we can be high in the spirit of Lord, but sin through temptation and weakness of the flesh can bring us down so low if we’re not careful and discipline not allow the devil access in.

I believe the residue of the evil that Saul possessed fell on David when he had committed adultery with Bathsheba and murder her husband Uriah his faithful soldier of his army to cover up his sin. What happened to David that could of caused him to fall? Let us take a look Saul who became Paul.

THE CONVERSION OF SAINT PAUL THE APOSTLE – Feast: 25 January | A ...

Saul was on the way to Damascus to persecute Christians when strucked down by a blinding light. Saul is a murderer of Christians and the Lord Jesus chose him to be his apostle and to show many things he must suffer for his name sake. Saul who’s name changed to Paul Act 13:9 after being strucked down by the blinded light, suffered the same faith he’d inflicted on many Christians, by hunting them down and murdering them. Paul finished the course set before him by the Lord in all his works. He is one of the most prolific writer of the New Testament of the bible.

How is it that Paul this murderer of Christians unlike David, was not considered a man after God’s own heart, but some how was able to stay his course with the Lord, but David didn’t? The Lord helped me to understand according to 2 Corinthians 12:7-9 (NET) “Therefore, so that I would not become arrogant, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to trouble me so that I would not become arrogant. I asked the Lord three times about this, that it would depart from me. But he said to me, “My grace is enough for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.”

I believe that if King David would have had a thorn in his flesh, he wouldn’t have fallen short and not complete his course. Paul thorn wasn’t only to keep him humbled, but to subdue him also by the power of the Holy Spirit to do the will of God. It took the life and death of Jesus to make it so much easier through him for us all to overcome every temptation that leads to sin and rebuke the devil.

The return of Christ, what if He’s here already?

Now when Jesus resurrected from the dead the only ones who were able to se him was his disciples. Was it not their faith that allow them to see him, or was it him revealing himself to them like another of his miracles? He came specifically to them so they can bare witness to truth like everything else he had taught and shown them. Jesus came to the disciples as water for the seed he had planted to keep it growing. If Jesus had come back to the world that crucified him, it would of made things a little complicated. The sacrifice of Jesus had to be real and true for the people of the world. But the disciples having being around Jesus for so long saw things and learned of things outside of the norms of the world. They were touched by the things of the kingdom of God that they couldn’t deny or ever forget, “truth and reality of the existence of God.”

Mary Magdalene was the first to see and spoke to Jesus at the tomb of his resurrection in the garden, John 20:15-18. Jesus sent her to let the disciples know she has seen him and he’s alive. For this reason they all believed and faith begun to pour into their spirit like water, from a drip to fully running down. When they truly believed, he showed up to them, even to doubting Thomas who was among them at the time. Jesus didn’t allow the disbelief of Thomas, like that of the thoughts of the negative to effect his plan.

We are waiting on God, but I truly believe He’s waiting on us believers to use our faith. Acknowledge like Mary that Jesus is here with us through faith, and listen to what He’s saying to us and go tell our brothers and sisters in Him. Look to Jesus for it is through him peace can be found in this unprecedented times.

I just had a revelation that Jesus is not returning as Jesus the man, but Jesus the spirit as he lift. His return will be predicated on finishing what he started, completely destroying the devil over our lives. We have to be willing to clear our minds of all impure thoughts by not giving the devil authority over it. Rebuke him and chose the side of the Lord.

No bible and no church, but God still is!

Looks like the Lord wants to know, “how well learnt are We?” Is our faith in Him strong enough to take us to the next level? or is God taking us back to the good old days before Moses? I say before Moses because the word of God was first given to Moses tangibly were as before it was written upon man’s heart. It was the thing that lead Moses to God in the first place. There was no written words to encourage Moses to seek the Lord.

The church according to Matthew 16:17-19. It is important for us to take note of what Jesus said to Peter, “for flesh and blood had not revealed it unto you, but my Father which is in heaven.” The Church came through Jesus. Jesus obedience to God’s every will is the church, not a building.

The word of God can be defined as being his will and God’s will is done no questions asked, like magic.
