Eyesalve: Bundle of Life

By | Eyesalve

I pray thee, forgive the trespass of thine handmaid: for the LORD will certainly make my lord a sure house; because my lord fighteth the battles of the LORD, and evil hath not been found in thee all thy days. 29Yet a man is risen to pursue thee, and to seek thy soul: but the soul of my lord shall be bound in the bundle of life with the LORD thy God; and the souls of thine enemies, them shall he sling out, as out of the middle of a sling.” I Sam 25:28-29

 

If you take some things and put them together, you have what is called a bundle. You take people full of the life of God and you put them together, you have what is called the church “the bundle of life

Eyesalve: To Whom Shall We Go?

By | Eyesalve

Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life.” Jn. 6:68

 

Over 32 years ago I surrendered my life to the one who has the words of eternal life. Today I still know whom to go to. Throughout the entire length of your Christian life you will be learning to go to the Lord. The more we learn this, the more we will be in His presence.

Eyesalve: As His Custom Was

By | Eyesalve

“And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.” Luke 4:16

Jesus returned to Nazareth after He was filled with the Spirit. He did not come to the synagogue trying to eliminate tradition and custom. He went there as was “His custom.” The difference is He brought authority and power with Him. So many Christians hate tradition. When tradition overrules the ministry of the Holy Spirit than I can see why. That is when tradition is definitely wrong. However, getting rid of traditions and customs in the church is not the answer. We need the power of the Spirit to take away the deadness of tradition. We need the Spirit to bring life to our assemblies so our traditions aren’t even noticed.

Eyesalve: Overcomers

By | Eyesalve

“And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death.” Rev. 12:11

There truly is “power in the blood,” and the testimony of how God saved us and what He did for us cannot be denied. Who can tell you that what God did for you isn’t true when you know it is. You just know that you know that you know. And then our ability to overcome concludes with not loving our life unto death. When you reckon yourself dead, you don’t fear death. When you reckon yourself crucified, sin and temptation have no power over you. “…but, whosoever will loses his life for my sake, the same shall save it.”
