Eyesalve: He Humbled Himself

By | Eyesalve

“Whereupon the princes of Israel and the king humbled themselves; and they said, The LORD is righteous. 7And when the LORD saw that they humbled themselves, the word of the LORD came to Shemaiah, saying, They have humbled themselves; therefore I will not destroy them, but I will grant them some deliverance; and my wrath shall not be poured out upon Jerusalem by the hand of Shishak… 12And when he humbled himself, the wrath of the LORD turned from him, that he would not destroy him altogether: and also in Judah things went well.” II Chron. 12:6-7

I am sure every sincere Christian wants to do great things for God. King Rehoboam doesn’t have a record of doing anything great, but he did protect Jerusalem from the enemy. He didn’t do it by military strength, He didn’t do it by round table discussions. He did it by humbling himself. It could be that some of the greatest things we will ever do for the kingdom of God is humble ourselves.

Eyesalve: Living Water Must Flow

By | Eyesalve

“He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water.” Jn. 7:38

If living water does not flow from our bellies, then words will just flow from our mind.

Eyesalve: We Are Ambassadors

By | Eyesalve

“Now then we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God did beseech you by us: we pray you in Christ’s stead, be ye reconciled to God.” II Cor. 5:20

We are ambassadors for God’s kingdom. That means that we have to judge. How do we do rightly judge? By God’s word. That means we are given authority. How do we use that authority? Through the Holy Spirit. That means that we are to serve. How do we serve? By the love of God.

Eyesalve: Perfect Love Will Do It #2

By | Eyesalve

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” I Jn. 4:18

It isn’t so much the love from people around you that casts out fear, it is love for God that casts out fear. The more you know God the more you love Him. The more you love Him the more your love for Him is perfected. It is in that love that a saint trusts the Lord with every aspect of their life, thus casting away ANY and ALL fear.

Eyesalve: Perfect Love Will Do It

By | Eyesalve

“There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.” I Jn. 4:18

You cannot counsel fear away. You cannot reason fear away. It will not flee before psychology. Perfect love is what casts out fear.

Eyesalve: Satan Can’t Imitate

By | Eyesalve

“Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and lying wonders,” II Thes. 2:9

Satan can imitate signs and wonders and gifts of the Spirit. He can masquerade as an angel of light, but there is one thing he can never imitate and that is God’s love.

Eyesalve: God Reveals His Greatness

By | Eyesalve

“Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.” Jn. 11:32

Mary believed Jesus could have healed Lazarus, but Jesus wanted her to believe He can raise him even from the dead. God is always busy revealing to us just how great He is.

Eyesalve: The Sword Cuts

By | Eyesalve

“Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword.” Mt. 10:34

When we minister the word by the Spirit we will minister the same way Jesus did. Jesus came to bring the sword. This means that the words He speaks will cut to the heart. There are many preachers today that don’t like that so they do the best to eliminate the sword. I don’t especially care to see the negative reaction and rejection when the gospel is preached, but if we are going to preach with the same authority that Jesus did, we too will bring a sword.

Eyesalve: God Received The Glory

By | Eyesalve

“Then went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of a little child, and he was clean. 15And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.” II Ki. 5:14-15

Too often the church decides if the final outcome of something is good only if people are blessed by it. However, there is no greater outcome of a matter than when God is glorified and when men will say, “now I know there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel” (the church). Naaman did get healed, but God received the glory.

Eyesalve: Lord, Give Us Confidence

By | Eyesalve

“And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! for he would recover him of his leprosy.” II Ki. 5:3

What confidence this little maid had of the God of Israel. She was convinced that if Naaman could get to the prophet in Israel, he would be made clean. Lord, let it be that we too can have such confidence that we can tell those that need a touch, need a miracle and needing a cleansing that there is a prophet in Israel. Lord give us confidence that we can say there is a church, a people in the community, where God’s presence and power abides.
