But because I tell the truth, you do not believe Me. John 8.45

A person can only understand the Truth if God gives him the opportunity. The wicked, and sinners in general, cannot see beyond what their polluted minds and sin-hardened hearts show them. There are two blessings of great importance available to us: For with You is the fountain of life; in Your light we see light (Psalms 36.9). The Fountain of Life will give us the strength we need to overcome, and we will see the Light!

The Jewish authorities did not understand how much they were missing out on the coming of Christ, whose purpose was to fulfill the promises in the Scriptures. Because they were not firm in their faith, they rejected Him. Since then, they have spent practically two thousand years alone, without divine help, but when their eyes are opened to the Truth, they will see the Messiah whom they despised and will bow down before Him (Zechariah 12.10). Then the chosen people will be blessed!

The time for the gentiles is now, for the Holy Spirit has been poured out upon us to anoint us – to enable us – to do the work as Jesus did it. With Him, we have the necessary power to deliver those lost in sin – drugs, prostitution, and the other things of Hell. He also gives us wisdom and knowledge. In this way we prepare those called to the ministry of God’s grace. We are nothing and can do nothing without the anointing from on High (Acts 1.8)!

The world needs to know the true servants of God, who strip themselves of theological vanities to lay them at the feet of the Master and those who will learn from Him. The saved are the only ones capable of “revolutionizing” the world, because without the heavenly anointing, nothing will be done (Acts 17.1-6). Religious people believe in the effect of creeds, prayers, faith stories and penances, which have no biblical backing. The best is to give the Bread of Life to all(John 6.35).

If Jesus had chosen the religious path, the leaders of His time would have tried to fit Him into their doctrines. Man’s thoughts are not God’s, nor are our plans His (Isaiah 55.8,9). When we put aside our will and give the Lord precedence over our lives, He uses us in the way He used His Son; then, we will do the same works that the Savior did in His earthly ministry (John 14.12).

May we know how to take advantage of the lessons taught by Jesus, for He does not receive glory from man, nor does He accept human testimony (John 5.34,41). We need to rethink our attitudes, because without divine help we will continue to be far from the Lord. How can we believe if we are far from the Master, without keeping His commandments? Whoever desires to be used by the Father must pray to Him, in order to know the Truth and believe in it!

Many have not yet accepted Jesus as their Redeemer. These people, if they die today, will go to perdition and never come out. What can we do, if we have not carried out the commands of the Most High? Don’t be carried away by the lies of the enemy, be ready to be used by Him as was planned even before the foundation of the world (Psalms 139.16). Because He has foreknowledge, God knows what is best for your life. So, give yourself to the Lord and He will use you more and more.

In Christ, with love,
