Dearly beloved, the WORD GOD spoken unto us, is Cleansing. The Word Purifies, Prunes, Justifies, Confirms, Redeems, Delivers, Sanctifies and prepares you as a living sacrifice fit for the Vineyard. Being clean vessels in God’s Hands, we are READY for use in the Master’s field of Harvest, bringing forth Fruit as we abide in Him. For we can do nothing without Him

As the True VINE, with an interest in a fruitful relationship with His vineyard, Jesus has cleaned His Elect by His spoken Word and then confirms in John 15:15 saying – “Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you”.

He said, “these things have I SPOKEN unto you, that MY JOY might REMAIN in you, and that YOUR JOY MIGHT BE FULL”.   – John 15 : 11

The question therefore is – Are you Cleansed? Is the SPOKEN WORD VISIBLE in your life?

Beloved, if you are in any doubt of your status in Christ, Jesus wants to cleanse you today from every sin, every transgression and iniquity you have ever commited. Call on His Name. HE is JESUS. HE IS THAT SPOKEN WORD.

“But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.

Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go unto the Father:for my Father is greater than I”.  – John 14: 26-28

The Holy Spirit is our Great Comforter in time of distress, heartbreak, loss, challenge,  pain and uncertainty, when the foundation of all that you hold true seems shaken. Look unto JESUS,  who is the AUTHOR and the FINISHER of our FAITH. His promised GIFT from the FATHER,  – THE HOLY GHOST is ever present and indwelling in us if you Believe.

SHALOM.

“IF YE ABIDE in ME,
And MY WORDS ABIDE in you,
Ye shall ASK what ye will,
And it shall be DONE unto you.

Herein is MY FATHER GLORIFIED,
That ye BEAR MUCH FRUIT;
So shall ye be MY DISCIPLES.
As the FATHER hath LOVED ME,
So have I LOVED you:
CONTINUE ye in MY LOVE”
– John 15: 7-9

Worthy are you Oh Lord,  my God.
The God who is Merciful and Just.
My Defence, my Shelter from the storm.
The God from Whom nothing is hidden.
The LIGHT of my SALVATION.
My Redeemer.  Worthy are you LORD.
Hallowed be your name LORD JESUS.

Jesus is That WORD of CREATION. 
The same that was in the Beginning.
HE is THE LIGHT that SHINETH in darkness. The LIGHT of the world.
Darkness CANNOT COMPREHEND IT.
Amen and Amen.  LORD JESUS COME.

The Bible tells us that Jesus and His disciples were at the marriage feast in Cana, Galilee, with His mother, Mary,  when suddenly there was a panic about the wine running out. Acting in wisdom and foreknowledge, she approached the Lord Jesus and simply told Him,  “they are running out of wine”.

You may be taken aback by Jesus’ response to this simple statement or may I say a coded request from His mother – “He said, what do I have to do with you woman. My time is not yet come” – John 2:4.  Obviously,  Mary was in revelation of the Extrordinary Being, her son was and quietly told the servants in attendance – “Whatsoever he saith, do it” – John 2:5.  How DOES THIS SIMPLE STATEMENT MINISTER TO YOU?

To all intent and purposes, the servants may have viewed this as normal everyday orders. However, this was a quiet affirmation of a mother with confidence in her son, to rescue a family wedding feast from a potential embarrassment. I say family because Mary was concerned enough about the wine running out.

Beloved, we saw that the servants’ compliance with doing ‘whatsoever’ Jesus said to them, however ludicrous it sounded, resulted in the first miracle by Jesus, recorded in the Bible   
     – Turning Water into Wine –

There are a lot of times that the ‘wine’ seem to have run dry in many believers’ lives or ministries. The times when you are holding on to Jesus, expectantly waiting for an answer to a supplication: Times when you are looking to be replenished or restorated. You need to to be sensitive to the Holy Spirit but unfortunately, most people miss the ‘opportune time’and have to suffer a momentary lack or a dry patch.

But why does this happen you may want to ask? Could it be because you failed to listen to instructions, or did not carefully read the details of the father’s manual regarding what next step to take? Perhaps we are afraid or maybe too stubborn and stiffnecked to follow guidelines. –

Beloved, God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of love, power AND A SOUND MIND” – 2 Timothy 1:7  – A Sound mind to know and understand when “His Timing Is” – because in God’s timetable, Timing is key.

Mary said, “Whatsoever He saith, do it”.  Oftetimes,  what the Lord is saying in our particular circumstances may not make human logical sense, but HE is GOD and His plan for us, is of good and not of evil – (Jerimiah 29:11 paraphrased).

Beloved, I pray today, that at every stage in our walk with Him, we have the Grace to hear and the courage to do “whatsoever” the LORD is saying in our situation. Perhaps, we need to let go completely and allow God’s Will to be done so that his glory can be seen in us in Jesus Name. Amen.

‘I Give Myself Away’ – by William McDowell

Hope is the engine that drives faith. When hope is lost, it is like removing the silver lining in the sky of dark clouds. Let me put it this way, hope is the oil that lubricates the engine of faith. Hope is an expectation that your faith works to achieve. Without hope faith is empty.

Hope is a catalyst that propels us towards an expected end. Hope is a strength. When we lose hope we die. Our hope of Eternal life sustains us in the journey of the Christian life. It is a lively Hope that is unshakable, founded on the Lord Jesus Christ.

Beloved,  the Lord takes pleasure in those that fear Him and put their trust in the Hope of His promises, received by His Mercies. Hope of Eternity with God, continues to keep the faith of the Jesus generation today alive and kicking. Hold on to that Hope in Christ.

Blessings
