Somehow life gets us to a point where we need something supernatural to happen. We need a miracle. John 6:1-15 1. become a true follower of Jesus Christ. not just a church member, but a follower, beileving and doing His teachings. Following requires a developed relationship with much communication in different places and circumstances. In JOhn 1:35-51 - the disciples are introduced to Jesus but you see them develop their own relationship with Jesus and some even get their own personal prophecies that those who introduced them are not a part of. God sees the reason why we seek Him. John 6:24-26. Jesus knew the people were after Him because of bread. 2. Be bold and courageous. Jesus boldly decided to go ahead and offer the 5 loaves and 2 fishes to thousands. Josh 1:1-9 Joshua was conuseled strongly to be courageous and strong. 3. Be a believer in miracles. Miracles begin when we can no longer help ourselves, and what we can do is not enough. Apply your faith positively to miracles not to fear and oppression and demons. John 6:5-6. Believe because God already knows what He will do about your circumstance. 4. Do not me moved or affected by the little or lack of faith in others. John 6:5-7. Jesus did not mind Philip's wavering about the lack of ability to feed the multitudes.

Tuesday Oct 09, 2012
Tuesday Oct 09, 2012
Our common enemy - the devil. We automatically have an enemy in the devil by becoming Christian. Matt 12:43-45 The enemy is interested in recapturing you back to his own. He also puts obstacles in your way to make it least enjoyable for you to be against him. A christian must learn to identify these strategies and learn how to stand firm against them. The devils ways are revealed in his names: understand them and you have more ammo to deal with him. e.g. snakes often use camouflage tactics, hiding in the environment that has the same color as them. 1. devil John 6:70 - ...one of you is a devil? - that is he is a type of devil and not 'the devil.' inhumanly wicked or cruel. extreme wickedness. - refusing to do anything to help a situation is wickedness. 2. Satan - hebrew word meaning adversary Job 1:6 3. adversary - when you encounter a certain level of opposition - 1 Peter 5:8-9 - learn yourself how not to be an opposer. Especially when your idea is not taken or when ideas unlike yours are being used. 4. Accuser of the brethren. Rev 12:10, - Job 1:6-11 Look at v8 how God look at Jon and in v9-11 how the devil sees him - finding ulterior motives and so forth. Like a prosecutor in court. 5. Belial - 2 Cor 6:15 Belial means worthless (Hebrew?) -he causes us to throw away valuable things - young people lose interest in school and things that will add value to them, 6. Angel of the bottomless pit: Rev 9:11 7. The god of this world - blinding people, controlling the course of the world. the value systems etc. That is why many things that are valuable in Christ are not valuable in the world.
