TOPIC: Need A
Miracle? III
MEMORISE Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection,
and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: John 11:25
READ: John 11:39-44 (KJV)
39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that
was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead
four days.
40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest
believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?
41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was
laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou
hast heard me.
42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people
which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.
43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus,
come forth.
44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Open Heaven 29 August 2021 MESSAGE:
It is God’s plan for His children to enjoy a long and prosperous
life. If the enemy however, tries to steal the life of any child of God, such a
fellow would become a candidate for a miracle. This was the case of Lazarus – a
friend of Jesus Christ, according to John 11:11-13
“These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our
friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep. Then said
his disciples, Lord, if he sleeps, he shall do well. Howbeit Jesus spake of his
death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.”
The first lesson we should learn in this story is that any
friend of Jesus is a candidate for a miracle. The question is: are you a friend
of Jesus or an anti-Christ? Jesus Christ is the best friend you can ever have.
He is compassionate and caring. You need to have Jesus as your friend before
the occurrence of any seemingly hopeless situation, as we see in today’s Bible
reading. Martha, a sister to Lazarus said to Jesus:

and buried for four days. However, the Hope of the Hopeless said …Thy brother
shall rise again (John 11:23).Beloved, I am inviting you to come to Jesus Christ today. Make
up your mind that you will be His friend indeed by obeying all His
commandments, because He said Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command
you(John
15:14).What do you need a
miracle for? Is it a part of your body, your marriage, business or career that
has been touched by the evil one? Jesus Christ is the Miracle-Worker. Make Him
your friend today, put your trust in Him and you will receive your desired
miracles (John
11:40).Do you desire to
live eternally? Romans 3:23 says …all have sinned…To have your eternal life restored, you
need the miracle of redemption. The One who can perform this miracle is Jesus
Christ the Son of the Living God. Run to Him and you shall have eternal life (John 3:16-18).

JESUS
1.
What a friend we have
in Jesus,
all our sins and griefs to bear!
What a privilege to carry
everything to God in prayer!
2.
O what peace we often
forfeit,
O what needless pain we bear,
all because we do not carry
everything to God in prayer!
3.
Have we trials and
temptations?
Is there trouble anywhere?
We should never be discouraged;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
4.
Can we find a friend
so faithful
who will all our sorrows share?
Jesus knows our every weakness;
take it to the Lord in prayer!
5.
Are we weak and heavy
laden,
cumbered with a load of care?
Precious Savior, still our refuge–
take it to the Lord in prayer!
6.
Do your friends
despise, forsake you?
Take it to the Lord in prayer!
In his arms he’ll take and shield you;
you will find a solace there.
