You Are of God, Little Children, and Have Overcome Them, Because
He Who is in You is Greater Than He Who is in the World
Sometimes Christine and I wonder what we are really doing in this place. We moved to this Island with high expectations, with the hope of linking up with other Christians who want to see the outpouring of the Holy Spirit in this part of the World. So far however it has been one big slog, we have recently been training to Minister in healing rooms as part of the healing Ministry and yet it seems like hardly anyone one in this area is interested.
I am helping people over the internet who are getting out of the Watchtower religion and that is rewarding as well as frustrating at times. However we want to see breakout in the town we live in and see the Holy Spirit convict people and see them glorify the Lord.
Today I was doing a search for comments on 1 John 4:4 as I was answering a JW online and I found this message by Sam Sweg Ministries. This is amazing, as it this is just how we were feeling yesterday. As some of you know we have a number of 'Giants' in our lives, so this information has come at a very good time for us.
This is Sam's message:
When The Lord Jesus Christ appeared to me He told me that if I would paint a picture of Him bigger in your heart, bigger than the circumstance, bigger than the cancer, bigger than the disease, bigger than the poverty, bigger than whatever is facing you, you'll always receive your miracle.
Everything we receive in the kingdom of heaven is based on you stepping out to receive. You can't be born again unless you receive Jesus Christ, isn't that true? You could sit there and say, "If it's God's will I'd be saved," but you know that wouldn't be true, because His will is for you to be saved. Two thousand years ago He went and paid the price on the cross, and He said, "It is finished. "And the truth of the matter is, it's just started right then. The old Testament was finished and the New Testament began, It never ends and it is based on better promises it gets greater everyday. We go from glory, to glory, to glory. Every time we think we see Jesus perform His Word, you find out He's has more. He's come to give you life more abundantly.
Years ago an entire town came against me because someone told a lie about me. I was in my prayer closet complaining to The Lord how bad it was. I could hear Jesus laugh, and laugh and laugh, and I was so angry. I admit it, I was angry at God. I said, "It's easy for you to laugh, you're up there and I'm down here right in the midst of this. And He laughed even louder. Well, Jesus knows what He's doing, and He finally said, "My son, I see the beginning and the end, I know what the end is going to be, and that's why I'm laughing." He said, "Because there will be a great victory in the midst of this." Then He gave me the scripture, "The Lord laughs at your enemies" (Psalm 37:12-13). You have to realize, He's laughing at your enemies because He knows what the end is. He said, "You're only in the midst of it, but if you could see what I see, you'd laugh too."
Well a week later victory came and I was laughing, and laughing and then I was reminded of what He told me a week before. Keep the picture in your heart.
You are of God, little children, and have overcome them, because He who is in you is greater than he who is in the world.
(1 John 4:4)
This message has come at a very good time for us and we have found it very encouraging.
May you all have a good Christmas and remember what this Holy-day is all about
Be blessed and may the dear Lord be with you
