The Truth - Holy Spirit as Rain & Water

Topic: Holy Spirit as Rain & Water 🌧️ 🌊

Bible Verse: Hosea 6:3 NKJV‬

".. He will come to us like the rain, Like the latter and former rain to the earth."

Message: Holy Spirit is compared in many places in Holy Bible to Rain, Water, River or Springs (John 4:10-24 & 7:37-39). Firstly, the Holy Spirit removes the lies of the devil from our lives just like how a  rain removes the dust (Isaiah 28:17). He does this by leading us into all Truth, the Word of God (John 16:13). He gives us the awareness, revelation & understanding of God's Word. Secondly, the Holy Spirit makes us give forth Godly characters like how rain or river brings forth grains & fruits. Holy Spirit helps us to obey God's Word that is sown in us & thereby we give fruits (Isaiah 28:25-29 & Joel 2:23-24). Finally, the Holy Spirit makes us a blessing to many others by flowing like a river across nations. The river carries healing & blessing (Ezekiel 47:1-12). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord fill us with your Holy Spirit like a rain & living water. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

The Truth -Jesus the Living God

Bible Verse: Acts 1:3 "Jesus also presented Himself alive after His suffering by many infallible proofs, being seen by them during forty days and speaking of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God."

Message: After His resurrection from dead Jesus presented Himself alive to His disciples & to those who loved & sought after Him (~120 People, Acts 1:9-15). He did not show Himself to Pilate or Roman Soldiers or others who mocked Him at His death. Even today Jesus reveals Himself alive to those who earnestly seek Him (Matthew 11:27; John 14:21). Secondly, Jesus casted our their fears & also renewed their downcast or backslidden soul into Faith by revealing Himself alive (John 20 & 21). Jesus not only died for us but He lives with us daily. Finally, Jesus instructed them the things they should do & when they obeyed, He worked wonders, miracles & gave testimonial life; revealing Himself alive through them to entire world. He will do the same with us today if we obey His voice (Mark 16:19,20; Psalm 32:8; Jeremiah 33:3). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord Jesus you are the living God who lives in us. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

The Truth - Holy Spirit in Resurrection

Bible Verse: Romans 8:11 "But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you"

Message: The Holy Spirit brings in the power of resurrection into our lives. The Bible says & we know that we are sealed by this Holy Spirit when we put our faith in Jesus & receive Salvation (Ephesians 1:13,14). Secondly, through the Spirit the power of resurrection which helps to sin no more & have no fear of death becomes evident in our lives (Romans 6:4-9 & 1Corinthians 15:55-57). Finally, Holy Spirit raise the Victorious flag of Jesus in our lives over every evil or tough situations . He also helps us & uses us to raise this flag in life of others under bondage so that everyone will be delivered & celebrate the Victory in Resurrection of Jesus (Isaiah 59: 19-21). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord let the Holy Spirit work in us daily to exhibit the power of resurrection. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

The Truth - Pierced on side

Bible Verse: John 19:34 "‭‭But one of the soldiers pierced His side with a spear, and immediately blood and water came out"

Message: Jesus was pierced by roman soldiers to confirm if He has really died on cross. The last drop of blood & water gushed out confirms to the whole world that Jesus died on the cross to cleanse our sins & give us a new pure heart (Mark 7:21-23 & 1 Peter 1: 18-22). Secondly, our hearts continually thinking evil had a curse that it cannot repent or be saved. But Jesus broke this curse through the pierced wound; so that any hardened heart is saved through His Love (Ezekiel 36 :26,27). Finally, Jesus makes our heart as spring of living water, one which is compassionate to do God's Will & most importantly a glorified place where God dwells (John 7:38 & 14:23). God bless you.

Prayer: Dear Lord thank you for your Love. We believe in your death and resurrection. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen

The Truth - Nails in Hands & Feet of Jesus

 Bible Verse: Psalms 22:16 "For dogs have surrounded Me; The congregation of the wicked has enclosed Me. They pierced My hands and My feet"

Message: Jesus was crucified for us on the cross with His Hands & Feet nailed to the wood. Our hands & feet generally execute the works. There is sin in these parts whenever we have plotted evil against our brethren, or neighbours, when we have got bribes, shut our hands from giving to poor & needy, searching & posting evil in social media, standing at evil sources or running away from God like Jonah. To cleanse these sins Jesus took wounds on His Hands & Feet (Psalm 1; Proverbs 1:15,16; Isaiah 1.15,16). Secondly, our hands & feet executed the desires of flesh & became cursed. But those who trust & live in Christ have crucified the desires of flesh on cross of Jesus & thereby they are delivered from curse (Galatians 5:24). Finally, through His wounds Jesus made our hands & feet a blessing. Our hands can now pray, help, comfort others & even bless others; our feet now yearns to run for God, share His Love & become glorious in sight of God (John 20:23, Romans 10:15). God bless you

Prayer: Dear Lord help us to remember that our evil passions are nailed on the cross. Continue to speak with us. In Jesus name Amen
