Hope Restored. Luke:24:13-21,28-35


Become He has Risen all our Hope is Restored:

This a Summery of the Lesson:

This takes place Early Sunday. Morning. Jesus had Risen from the grave the woman seen him first.

Theses 2 disciples are walking back to Jerusalem. They are not the disciplines as we know . There were other disciples. Luke gave us there name. Cleopas and in reach it said the other one could be his Wife. Let us not let that cause us to miss the message. After saying that These two disciple was depressed there hope was gone, there Lord was now dead. The one who had gave sight to the blind , cashed out daemons, no doubt they were saying what are we going to do.

Jesus caught pup with them in verse in verse 15 but they did not know Him
Verse 16 Jesus ask why you are sad, what you talking about.
Verse 16 the answer. Are you a stranger don't you know Jesus of Nazareth , which was a prophet mighty in deeds and words before God and all the people Verse 20. The chief priests and our rulers delivered and have condemned to death, and have crucified him.

Jesus went home with them and He ate with them . When He blessed the bread they knew who he was. When you get blessed from God you will know who He is

Notice what they said "didn't our Hearts Burn within us while He talked wit us"
When I was a girls there was a old deacon name Deacon Harris He would say didn't our hearts burn, I thought it was funny then.

The disciple went where way telling the news.

When Jesus speaks to you you will know the voice, and you can't keep it to yourself

Happy Easter

Create In Me a Clean Heart


Lord, Create In Me A Clean Heart

Have you ever prayed that God would give you a clean heart and a right spirit? King David did. As the story goes, King David spotted Bathsheba from his rooftop bathing herself. He later slept with her, got her pregnant and then had her husband killed, all in an attempt to cover it up. He was later approached by the Prophet Nathan about it and then he realized he had sinned against God (2 Samuel 11-12). He went from being God’s right hand man to being tied up in a vicious web of sin and lies. Today, even when great spiritual leaders of our time fall into sin, typically it’s not for adultery and murder. Yet, God loved King David, as He does us all. He viewed him as a man after His own heart and blessed him to be in Jesus’ lineage. Sin effects us. It effects our lives and how we view ourselves. We say to ourselves, “Look at what I have done. I’m no good. How can I be of any use to God or anyone?” This is the ultimate pity party attitude. Ok, you lied, you cheated, you stole, you knocked him out, you slept with the guy, you slept with the girl, you slept with both of them at the same time, you smoked it, you passed it around, you drank it and you enjoyed it! You then realized you sinned against God and now you feel guilty and shameful. King David sat exactly in the same place you’re sitting and what did he do? He not only asked God to forgive him, but he asked God to create in Him a clean heart and renew a right spirit within him. With only a forgiven sin, we are bound to repeat our actions over and over again, but with a clean heart and a right spirit we won’t. We find that King David is never once mentioned again to have fallen into that same sin. Only God can cause you to detest and run from sin, rather than find pleasure in it. He doesn’t want to just forgive you, He wants to give you a new heart, a new mind and new life through Jesus. With His help, your days of struggling with sin are over!

“Do not let sin control the way you live; do not give in to sinful desires. Do not let any part of your body become an instrument of evil to serve sin. Instead, give yourselves completely to God, for you were dead, but now you have new life. So use your whole body as an instrument to do what is right for the glory of God. Sin is no longer your master, for you no longer live under the requirements of the law. Instead, you live under the freedom of God’s grace.” (Romans 6:12-14 NLT)

Prayer:
Father, I’m struggling with sin. The problem is I enjoy it, but I know You hate it! So I repent and I command by Your power that the grip of sin be broken off of my life right now in Jesus name. Lord, show me how to walk in newness of life with a new heart and a new mind. Help me love what You love and hate what You hate. Thank You for setting me free! In Jesus’ name, Amen.

"Trust God"

HAVE CONFIDENCE IN GOD ALONE


(JEREMIAH 17:5 AMP)
THUS SAYS THE LORD: CURSED [WITH GREAT EVIL] IS THE STRONG MAN WHOSE TRUSTS IN AND RELIES ON FRAIL MAN, MAKING WEAK [HUMAN] FLESH HIS ARM, AND WHOSE MIND AND HEART TURN ASIDE FROM THE LORD.


In order to succeed at anything, we must have confidence, but first and foremost it must be confidence in God, not confidence in anything else. We must develop confidence in God's love, goodness, and mercy. We must believe that He wants us to succeed.

God did not create us for failure. We may fail at some things on our way to success, but if we trust Him, He will take even our mistakes and work them out for our good (Romans 8:28).

Hebrews 3:6 tells us we must "...hold fast and firm to the end our joyful and exultant confidence and sense of triumph in our hope [in Christ]." It is important to realize that a mistake is not the end of things if we hold on to our confidence.

We all have a destiny, but just because we are destined to do something does not mean that it will automatically happen. I (Joyce Meyer) went through many things while God was developing me and my ministry. Often I lost my confidence concerning the call on my life. Each time I had to get my confidence back before I could go forward again.



Put your confidence in God alone, and He will cause you to truly succeed at being yourself.

"KEEP IT SIMPLE"

KEEP IT SIMPLE
How did you come to receive Jesus? Think back for a moment on how simple it was. You asked Him to come into your heart, and you were saved and in a new relationship with the Lord. How awesome! Many of us can testify that when Jesus came into our lives we didn't hear bolts of thunder and the room probably didn't shake, however, we knew that something miraculous had happened and we would never be the same! We were confident that we were born again and would one day spend eternity in heaven with the Lord! Glory to God! A simple prayer changed our lives completely!

Well, if we can receive Jesus through simply asking Him to come into our hearts, why do so many of us make our lives so complicated? Why do we make our relationships complicated? Our approach to spiritual growth complicated? Sin complicates everything. We make life complicated when we want to do things our way. However, when we yield ourselves to God and simply do what He says to do in the Bible we will find so much ease and simplicity. Just like receiving Jesus is simple, living everyday life and handling everyday challenges is simple when we do what God says to do. Don’t complicate it! Yield and surrender to God! Keep it simple!

“All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.” (2 Timothy 3:16 NLT)



Prayer:

Father, forgive me for making things so complicated through my stubbornness. I submit to You and I yield to You. Show me how to keep everything in my life simple by trusting and obeying what You tell me to do. In Jesus’ name, Amen

Daniel's Prayer Of Confession

Sunday's lesson Daniel 9:4-14
Daniel is still in Babylon in captivity after the siege in Jerusalem because of their Sins and disobedience to God. God use there Enemies to chastise them.

Prophet Jeremiah had prophesied .

Jer 25:11 And this whole land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment; and these nations shall serve the king of Babylon seventy years.

At the time of our text the 70 years is coming to an end. And Daniel did not want anything to hinder these Jews from being delivered from captivity.

He knew God will do what He said He would do. Daniel also knew God is merciful even to rebels, if they confess their sins and return to Him.

Don't let your past disobedience keep you from turning to God. He is waiting with opened arms

Daniel knew how to pray. He had read GOD'S word and believed them.As he prayed, He fasted confessed his sins, and pleaded that God would reveal His Will

Verse 4-8 Daniels Confession of Sin
Read verse 5. Daniel didn't blame all the sin on the nation He included himself . We have Sinned.

Two often we believe every thing wrong in our Churches, home,or job that is wrong is someone else .

If we would pray we may realize we ant so innocence. He go on name some sins. He was reminding. ISREAL the reason they were being Chastisement
Read verse 6. God had sent many prophets to speak to his people, but there message was ignored .God still speaks. Through Preachers, Teachers, friend

9-14 Daniel mentioned the blessing and curses outlined in Deuteronomy 28 you need to read Deuteronomy

Deu 28:1 And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:
Deu 28:2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God.
Deu 28:3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

God gave ISREAL a choice
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.

Some people mistakenly believe that God of the Old Testament was aGod of Judgment and God of the New Testament is a God of Love the nature of God does not change.

The Captivity was long in coming and the people was given every opportunity to repent God sent prophets to warn the people was a expression of his love

13-14 Divine appeal Daniel. Indicated ISREAL ISREAL did not seek pardon for there sins bottom line was that the people did not wont to turn from there sins Daniel acknowledge this was Israel's problem

This has always been man,s problem and is today
Verse( 9-14 ) , he was declaring that God kept ready the calamity that eventually came upon the nations.

Closing in response to Daniel prayer the Angle Garbiel appeared to Daniel


Dan 9:21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched me about the time of the evening oblation.
Dan 9:22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.

Dan 9:24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy

Bottom line. We all going to pay for our sins. Sin will block your healing, your finance,your health

God Bless you


Dan 9:4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him, and to them that keep his commandments;
Scriptures Dan 9:5 We have sinned, and have
SCRIPTURES. 5 We have sinned and committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
Dan 9:6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
Dan 9:7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, through all the countries whither thou hast driven them, because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee.
Dan 9:8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee.
Dan 9:9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have rebelled against him;
Dan 9:10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets.
Dan 9:11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
Dan 9:12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem.
Dan 9:13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities, and understand thy truth.
Dan 9:14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us: for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we obeyed not his voice.

A Glorious Reign Ahead

Sunday 's Lesson : The Book of Daniel,Chapter 7:9-15

In Chapter 7. Daniel's Visions. Apocalyptic vision means a
prophetic of devastation or ultimate doom. At various points in Jewish history serval books fall into this category Ezekiel,Daniel,Zechariah,and Revelation. These books deals with graphic,symbols, animals, and there are different Interpretations don't let that cause you to miss the message Aman.


After haven't said that. At this time in our text Jerusalem had been siege Jeremiah was the prophet for Judah (the Southern Kingdom) He confronted the Leaders and the people of their sins. He also prophesied their 70 year siege in Babylon because of their sins.


This is the same Daniel in chapter 2 Daniel encounter with King Nebuchadnezzar dream.

Belshazzar rules Babylon after Nebuchadnezzar and Chapter 5 tells of his encounter with Daniel,was different he hade a party and drunk wine from the Temple Vessels and a Hand began to write on the wall Daniel read The writing on the wall He is in Babylon remember



Remember this is a Prophecy what Daniel. Is during looking into time before time exist and telling what God has shown. The Jews was in a strange land they were captive and it seems that God had left them
There were idols gods in Babylon. They were helpless they thought.
But God always have some prophet are some Preacher to give a word of encouragement Daniel ,

gave these Jews confidence that God is in control of history. They were to wait patiently in faith and not worship the gods of Babylon or accept there society's way of life. Evil will be overcome . This tells us we should wait patiently and not give in to the temptation and sinful ways of life around us. What we as Christians must always remember God is still and all will be in control.
The text is a Glorious Reign Ahead. Key word Ahead. We going through but I am looking ahead

When we get to our text Daniel 7:9 a shift has taken place the prophecy is about the end times judgment and is really what John saw

Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

What is Daniel talking about the Thrones of God and describe Him sitting on it







Verse 10
Dan 7:10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him: the judgment was set, and the books were opened. Notice books plural.

Rev 20:12 And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.




Daniel and John saw God judging millions of people as they stood before him
We all will stand before God and give account of our lives. The question we all should ask. If our life was judge by God today, what would he say about it? How would he measure it against his Word? I we
The Word He is talking is this Bible John 1 Gospel writer tells it was the word . the beginning was the Word . That is why you need the Word if you are going any place there must be a beginning All should keep that in mind.

Dan 7:11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body destroyed, and given to the burning flame.
Dan 7:12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time.
Verse 13-14Dan 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
Dan 7:14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.

Daniel is Jesus is going to be the King of Kings and it will be everlasting .
What is Daniel saying to you? What ever you are going through The-pains ,the lies, what ever Sateen has sent your way. Be patient ,hold on keep trusting God It's going to be a new day

A Glorious
