Eyesalve: So Can You

By | Eyesalve

“Then the children of Judah came unto Joshua in Gilgal: and Caleb the son of Jephunneh the Kenezite said unto him, Thou knowest the thing that the LORD said unto Moses the man of God concerning me and thee in Kadeshbarnea. 7Forty years old was I when Moses the servant of the LORD sent me from Kadeshbarnea to espy out the land; and I brought him word again as it was in mine heart. 8Nevertheless my brethren that went up with me made the heart of the people melt: but I wholly followed the LORD my God.” Josh. 14:6-8

Society around us is falling apart. Yet consider this. When the hearts of many people melted in the presence of Caleb, he “wholly followed the Lord.” SO CAN YOU.

Eyesalve: Share in Righteousness

By | Eyesalve

“But the children of Israel committed a trespass in the accursed thing: for Achan, the son of Carmi, the son of Zabdi, the son of Zerah, of the tribe of Judah, took of the accursed thing: and the anger of the LORD was kindled against the children of Israel.” Josh. 7:1

Achan committed the trespass, but the children of Israel took the blame for it. That doesn’t seem right, but this can help us see how important it is to belong to a good fellowship. One that has a great love for God and one another. One that cares about the spiritual condition of one another. One that prays for each other that we all keep our lives pure and spotless before the Lord. If a fellowship can share in the blame of a trespass others commit, then they also can share in the righteousness others live. Let us encourage each other on to righteous and godly living.

Eyesalve: Shout, Not Complain

By | Eyesalve

“And it shall come to pass, that when they make a long blast with the ram’s horn, and when ye hear the sound of the trumpet, all the people shall shout with a great shout; and the wall of the city shall fall down flat, and the people shall ascend up every man straight before him.” Josh. 6:5

We believers can face many Jericho’s in our life, but it doesn’t matter because God will be there for us. Just remember this, the walls of Jericho went down because the people shouted, not complained. Your walls too, will come down with a shout of praise and honor unto the Lord.

Eyesalve: Will You Draw Your Sword?

By | Eyesalve

“And it came to pass, when Joshua was by Jericho, that he lifted up his eyes and looked, and, behold, there stood a man over against him with his sword drawn in his hand: and Joshua went unto him, and said unto him, Art thou for us, or for our adversaries?” Joshua 5:13

This man (the preincarnate Christ), who Joshua saw, was not sitting back on an easy chair, He wasn’t standing with flip flops doing the peace sign with his fingers. He had his sword drawn. Though we are to try the best we can to be at peace with all men, this scene reminds us that we are in a constant battle. The battle is not of flesh and blood. It is a spiritual battle. We are to, especially in these closing hours, contend for the faith. Will you draw your sword (of the Spirit?)

Eyesalve: Outward Display, Inward Denial

By | Eyesalve

“Then led they Jesus from Caiaphas unto the hall of judgment: and it was early; and they themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they should be defiled; but that they might eat the passover. 29Pilate then went out unto them, and said, What accusation bring ye against this man? 30They answered and said unto him, If he were not a malefactor, we would not have delivered him up unto thee. 31Then said Pilate unto them, Take ye him, and judge him according to your law. The Jews therefore said unto him, It is not lawful for us to put any man to death: Jn. 18:28-31

Those religious leaders sure liked keeping the law. They would dare not break the law while they are delivering Jesus over to be killed. What a contrast, killing Jesus, while keeping the law. This is exactly what false religion is, it is making an outward display while inwardly denying Christ.

Eyesalve: Behold the Son of God

By | Eyesalve

“Then came Jesus forth, wearing the crown of thorns, and the purple robe. And Pilate saith unto them, Behold the man!” Jn. 19:5

If we the church are ever going to impact our generation, we cannot present Jesus as a man, although He was fully man as well as fully God, but we must demonstrate that He is the Almighty God that saves. BEHOLD THE SON OF GOD!

Eyesalve: Glad To Be A Fool

By | Eyesalve

“But I say, Did not Israel know? First Moses saith, I will provoke you to jealousy by them that are no people, and by a foolish nation I will anger you.” Rom. 10:19

That foolish nation is all of us Gentiles. I have never been so glad to be called a fool.

Eyesalve: Did He Hear Your Voice

By | Eyesalve

“And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God:” Re. 19:1

John heard the voices of people from a time yet to come. He heard the voices of all the raptured saints. Did He hear your voice?

Eyesalve: Speak Openly

By | Eyesalve

“The high priest then asked Jesus of his disciples, and of his doctrine. 20Jesus answered him, I spake openly to the world; I ever taught in the synagogue, and in the temple, whither the Jews always resort; and in secret have I said nothing.” Jn. 18:19-20

Cults are notorious for telling you one thing when they are sharing their religion with you, but then when you join up with them they tell you something different. It must not be so for Christians. We must always speak openly the truth of this gospel. The secret to the mega / seeker sensitive church is they don’t speak the truth openly. They don’t tell it like it should be told. I guess it all depends if you are looking to gather people or if you are looking to save people and strengthen saints.

Eyesalve: They May Need To See #2

By | Eyesalve

“Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. 28And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God. 29Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.” Jn. 20:27-29

A person will be more blessed if they believe without seeing, but if it takes seeing a miracle to keep someone out of hell, then let them see it Lord. I would rather be rebuked for needing to see a miracle before I believe, than not believing at all.
