Faith That Moves Christ

Do you have faith that will move Jesus?
Jesus is waiting for you to use it so He can bless you.
In the scriptures below we have the story of a nobleman who exercised what little mustard seed faith he had and received even more than he expected. We should imitate this kind of faith. Let's look at the scriptures.
John 4:46-53 (NKJV)
⁴⁶ So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum.
⁴⁷ When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death.
⁴⁸ Then Jesus said to him, "Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe."
⁴⁹ The nobleman said to Him, "Sir, come down before my child dies!"
⁵⁰ Jesus said to him, "Go your way; your son lives." So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way.
⁵¹ And as he was now going down, his servants met him and told him, saying, "Your son lives!"
⁵² Then he inquired of them the hour when he got better. And they said to him, "Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him."
⁵³ So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said to him, "Your son lives." And he himself believed, and his whole household. Just like this man we all either have a need or we will have one in the future. This man's problem was he had a sick son who was at the point of death. When he heard about Jesus he decided he would go to Jesus and have Him come to his house and heal his son. This man had to leave his son at the point of death and travel 20 miles one way to where Jesus was. The bible says in   Romans 10:17 (NKJV)  So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
 This nobleman had responded to what he had heard about Jesus. That's why I am on this website. To let people know about the love, grace, and saving power of Jesus Christ. If a person hears about Jesus and responds in faith as this man did, they will receive an answer to their prayers. Those scriptures say "he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death." We must come to Jesus in faith which means trust in Jesus to hear and answer our prayers. If the man had not gone to Jesus nothing would have happened and the man's son would have died. You see how important it is that we go to Jesus with our every need. There is no where else you can got to receive what the world can't give. In verse 48 Jesus rebuked the people and the man for only wanting to see miracles, signs, and wonders. Jesus wants us first to come to Him for our souls salvation. In verse 49 the man received Jesus' rebuke and continued to implore Jesus to come with him and heal his son. He was persistent in his request because of the urgency! His little faith thought that Jesus had to be present to heal his son. He was limiting Jesus power to his little faith. In verse 50 Jesus told the man to go his way and his son would be healed. He at this point was at a crisis of belief. Do I go even though Jesus will not go with me. Should I trust Jesus with my son's life. I don't see anything with my natural eyes. The man decided he would trust Jesus and started on his way home when his servants approached him and told him his son live. He inquired what time the boy was made well. The servants told him and the man knew it was the very time that Jesus said " Go your way, your son lives." Then in verse 53 the man believed in Jesus and so did his whole household after he told them what happened. This man knew Jesus not only heals the body but also Jesus heals sin sick souls. What if you decided to take what ever is bothering you or troubling you to Jesus right where you are? What have you got to lose but your problems. You have as much or more faith than this man had. If you don't have any problems right now, you probably know someone who does. Go to Jesus with your request and leave it there and go your way, your answer is coming just as sure as this man's did. The bible says in James 2:17 Thus also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead. Put your faith to work. Believe Jesus to hear and answer your prayer. You will be glad you did. For Jesus to answer your prayer you must personally know Jesus as your Savior. If you have not asked Jesus to save you, now would be an excellent time right there in the privacy of your own home. Admit your sins to Jesus, then tell Him you are sorry for those sins you have committed. Then ask Jesus to forgive your sins and give you a right standing with Father God. If you mean these words as you pray you will be saved from the penalty of Hell and you will be given eternal life with Jesus and Father God. Then you can take all your requests to God in Jesus' name and He will hear you. May you trust God with your family because He cares.

True Worshipers

John 4:23-24 (NKJV)
²³ But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth; for the Father is seeking such to worship Him.
²⁴ God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." The scriptures above tell us that God is seeking for true worshipers. If God is seeking for true worshipers then that means of course that there are false worshipers. Which are you? Do you worship God with all your heart or do you just give lip service? I hope you are not one of those. They shout louder than anyone else. They lift their hands higher and longer than others. They may even cry! But when it comes time to give or serve God, they run from the opportunity. A true worshiper prays before the service that he might be forgiven for his latest sins and be cleansed by the blood of Jesus Christ in his inner man where the real person lives. He does this to be able to worship God with a clean heart. He is focused on the words of the music and sings from his heart not just his lips. He is focused on the pastor as he brings the word of God. He listens intently and opens his heart for God to work on him in that area of life where he needs it most. He knows that he is not where he needs to be and he wants to move closer to God in his relationship to Him. In other words he worships God with His inner spiritual self. That part of us that no one can see. We only see the outside. Most want to look good on the outside but are like dead men's bones on the inside. This is worshiping God in the spirit. Our spirit must be influenced and lead by the Holy Spirit as we worship God. There would never be true worship apart from God's Spirit that lives in us. Only God's Spirit knows how to truly lead us to worship God who is Spirit. It doesn't matter where or what day you worship God, but it does matter how you worship Him. God can only be truly worshiped in the truth. Jesus told us what truth is in: John 17:17 (NKJV) Sanctify them by Your truth. Your word is truth.

We can't worship according to the dictates of our hearts, but by the word of God He has given us. God tells us how we are to worship Him and not the other way around. Only God's word tells us who He really is and how He is to be worshiped. Please don't get caught up in the way of error as to how you are to worship God. Do it as you read in God's word and go to a church that worships the same way. God wants to more fully bless our lives but we must get ourselves in a position to receive all that God has for us.

INVITAITON: You can never worship God without a personal relationship with Him. This relationship comes one way, not many as some say. Let's look at what Jesus said is the way to God. John 14:6 (NKJV)

⁶ Jesus said to him, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.
Have you confessed your sins against God? Have you asked Jesus to forgive you? Have you invited Him into your heart? You must be born again to ever see the kingdom of God. John 3:3 (NKJV)
³ Jesus answered and said to him, "Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." YOU are born again when you follow God's word as it is written in: Romans 10:9-10 (NKJV) ⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.
¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.
O my friend, call out to Jesus today to save you and give you that second birth that we all must have to be able to see the Kingdom of God and enter into it. Time is short. Jesus could return at any time for His church. Be ready or you will be left behind to go through the Greatest Tribulation to ever hit this world. Make your choice today and go to church and be baptized to show you are sincere and then begin to worship God and Jesus there. May God give you the strength to do that.
