If Jesus is with you....

This sunday Pastor Mathew George gave an anointed message from Word of God. The word was so powerful that many people were delivered by the power of Word.

22 One day he got into a boat with his disciples, and he said to them, “Let us go across to the other side of the lake.” So they set out, 23 and as they sailed he fell asleep. And a windstorm came down on the lake, and they were filling with water and were in danger. 24 And they went and woke him, saying, “Master, Master, we are perishing!” And he awoke and rebuked the wind and the raging waves, and they ceased, and there was a calm. 25 He said to them, “Where is your faith?” And they were afraid, and they marveled, saying to one another, “Who then is this, that he commands even winds and water, and they obey him?”(Luke 8:22-25)

Jesus was with the desciples. Desciples were expert in all conditions of that lake. But still storm tried to overthrow them. BUT... JESUS WAS WITH THEM. And that made the difference.

Pastor spoke on this specific topic of If Jesus is with you..

1. He will bring you back and you are not alone
Behold, I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land. For I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you(Genesis 28:15)

Even though troubles may come, but you are not alone.
Even though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death,I will fear no evil,for you are with me;(Psalms 23:5)

2. He will not forsake you.
It is the Lord who goes before you. He will be with you; he will not leave you or forsake you. Do not fear or be dismayed(Deu 31:8)

You may face war like situations. Everyone is against you. But the Lord goes before you and he will be with you. Do not be scared as the mighty Lord is with you

They will fight against you, but they shall not prevail against you, for I am with you, declares the Lord, to deliver you.(Jeremiah 1:19)

3. You shall not need to fight
You will not need to fight in this battle. Stand firm, hold your position, and see the salvation of the Lord on your behalf...and the Lord will be with you(2 Chronicles 20:17)

You stand still. Stand for the Lord consistently. And Lord will fight for you

4. He will grant you what you are asking.
Jabez called upon the God of Israel, saying, "Oh that you would bless me and enlarge my border, and that your hand might be with me, and that you would keep me from harm so that it might not bring me pain!" And God granted what he asked(2 Chron 4:10)

May he grant you your heart's desire
and fulfill all your plans(Psalms 20:4)

You have given him his heart's desire
and have not withheld the request of his lips(Psalms 21:2)

Justified by Faith and faith alone

This Sunday(October 17,2010), Pr.Juxy Mathew from Dubai(Maranatha Full Gospel Church), was the speaker in Revival Centre AG church, Fathenagar.
He was talking on the very important and basic topic of justification by Faith and its benefits.

Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ(Romans 5:1)


This verse very clearly tells us how we are sanctified or how we became righteous, its only through faith

This righteousness includes two things
1. Positional righteousness
God made him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.(2Cori 5:21)

Its the righteousness of God through Christ, we became justifies

2. Progressive righteousness
Let him who does wrong continue to do wrong; let him who is vile continue to be vile; let him who does right continue to do right; and let him who is holy continue to be holy.(Revelation 22:11)

What are the benefits we receive after we are justified by faith?

1. Peace with God
....we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ(Romans 5:1)

Peace with God and peace of God are different

Peace with God includes three things
a. Reconciliation with God
For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of sonship.And by him we cry, "Abba,Father." The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God's children. Now if we are children, then we are heirs -heirs of God and co-heirs with Christ, if indeed we share in his sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory.(Romans 8:15-17)
When we are reconciled with God then without fear we can approach God's throne.
When we are reconciled with God then we became heirs of God's kingdom

b. Concord - agreement in views with God
c. Fellowship with God
And our fellowship is with the Father and with his Son, Jesus Christ(1 John 1:3)

2. We stand in the grace of God
..through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand(Romans 5:2) This grace gives us the privilege to go before the Holiest of Holy, which was not the case in old testament.
This grace can remove your weakness. As conveyed to Paul "..My Grace is sufficient for you"

3. We rejoice in the hope of glory
...And we rejoice in the hope of the glory of God(Romans 5:2)

4. We rejoice in sufferings
Not only so, but we also rejoice in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance..(Romans 5:3)

5. We have love of God in our hearts
And hope does not disappoint us, because God has poured out his love into our hearts by the Holy Spirit, whom he has given us(Romans 5:5)

6. Saved from the wrath
Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from God's wrath through him!(Romans 5:9)

7.Reconciliation by the blood of Jesus
For if, when we were God's enemies, we were reconciled to him through the death of his Son, how much more, having been reconciled, shall we be saved through his life!(Romans 5:10)
