Eyesalve: You Need God’s Help To Love

By | Eyesalve

I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.” Jn. 15:5

 

So you think you really love God? Well consider this, without Him you can do nothing. That means that you can’t even love Him without His help. Ask Him and He will help you love Him.

Eyesalve: He Gave It To You

By | Eyesalve

What shall therefore the lord of the vineyard do? he will come and destroy the husbandmen, and will give the vineyard unto others.” Mk. 12:9

 

Just think, when Jesus said that others would be given the vineyard, He was talking about you. God is trusting you, let Him receive the fruit from it.

Eyesalve: Leave Them Marveling

By | Eyesalve

“And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? 21They say unto him, Caesar’s. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar’s; and unto God the things that are God’s. 22When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.” Mt. 22:20-22

 

For the most part we are ineffective when we leave people with an argument. You may think that if you stir up people to argue back with you about spiritual things that you are somehow effective. No one argued with Jesus. He didn’t speak with human wisdom. If he did, he would have had arguments thrown back at Him by human wisdom from others. When we speak in heavenly wisdom there is no argument. If the Spirit is speaking through us it will leave people to marvel, not argue.

Eyesalve: Put On Christ

By | Eyesalve

And when the king came in to see the guests, he saw there a man which had not on a wedding garment: 12And he saith unto him, Friend, how camest thou in hither not having a wedding garment? And he was speechless. 13Then said the king to the servants, Bind him hand and foot, and take him away, and cast him into outer darkness; there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” Mt. 22:11-13

 

Heaven is only for those who put on Christ.

Eyesalve: We Will Produce Fruit

By | Eyesalve

They say unto him, He will miserably destroy those wicked men, and will let out his vineyard unto other husbandmen, which shall render him the fruits in their seasons.” Mt. 21:41

 

This verse is the conclusion of a parable Jesus spoke. The parable starts at the 33rd verse if you wish to read the whole thing. If you do you will understand that Jesus is teaching thru this parable that the vineyard will be taken away from the Jews and will be given to the whosoever will which is known as the church (Jew and Gentile). The words I highlighted are great words of encouragement. Jesus is saying that His church, in every generation, will give back to Jesus fruit. Hallelujah! That means that if we are going to give back to Him fruit there will be a production of fruit. Let us be confident that we the church will produce fruit in our generation.

Eyesalve: And Defiled Her

By | Eyesalve

And Dinah the daughter of Leah, which she bare unto Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land. 2And when Shechem the son of Hamor the Hivite, prince of the country, saw her, he took her, and lay with her, and defiled her.” Gen. 34:1-2

 

The church for the most part suffers persecution because the world hates her, but not always. Just as Shechem was attracted to Dinah so much that he defiled her, some people are attracted to the church. The church has good things to offer, family values, practical biblical teachings and most of all love and friendship. But if the people aren’t there because they love Christ, they are there to defile the church.

Eyesalve: When Offended, Go To Jesus

By | Eyesalve

“Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me. 26But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and to cast it to dogs. 27And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. 28Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.” Mt. 15:25-28

 

Society has gotten so sensitive in the last few decades. People get offended so easy. Today, if you say something offensive the courts can order you to go to classes that teach you what not to say. I am sure you can see how much the devil is behind that. Like this Canaanite who was called a dog and didn’t even bat an eyelash, we believers must understand that we live a life that is constantly offended. Every day the Spirit of God offends our flesh when it tells it that it cannot have its way and must get on the cross. Everyday our mind is offended when the mind of Christ tells it that it will be making the decisions. All around you society is offending you with the onslaught of filth and perversion. When you are offended, don’t run to court or visit a counselor, be like the Canaanite woman go to Jesus.

Eyesalve: Keep Your Oath

By | Eyesalve

“And she, being before instructed of her mother, said, Give me here John Baptist’s head in a charger. 9And the king was sorry: nevertheless for the oath’s sake, and them which sat with him at meat, he commanded it to be given her. 10And he sent, and beheaded John in the prison.” Mt. 14:8-10

 

Imagine what it could be like if Christians were as serious about keeping their oath to serve the Lord as Herod was to keep his oath before men.

Eyesalve: Dull Hearts

By | Eyesalve

For the hearts of this people have grown dull. Their ears are hard of hearing, and their eyes they have closed, lest they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, so that I should heal them.” Mt. 13:15 (NKJV)

 

Dull hearts stops up ears and closes eyes.

 

Eyesalve: Through Revelation

By | Eyesalve

At that time Jesus answered and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, because thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes. 26Even so, Father: for so it seemed good in thy sight. 27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.” Mt. 11:25-27

 

Our generation has such a hard time understanding that man does not get saved by having an intellectual understanding of the gospel. To convince someone of the gospel in their mind is not salvation. Salvation comes by revelation to those who humble themselves as a babe.
