Encounter #3:
Prayer+Faith+Works=Results
Read: Mark: 1:35-45

Jesus prayed in the early morning hours. Peter and others followed Him. Bring others with you as you pray. Be in agreement with other believers. People were seeking for Jesus. He went into the other towns to preach and bring deliverance to the captives. Those who are seeking for Jesus, bring them to Him. Pray with them and Jesus will do the rest.

A leper came to Jesus to be made clean. Lepers were considered unclean.
They were outcasts. He asked Jesus to heal him, if He wanted to. Jesus was moved with compassion and touched him. Jesus said “I will...” Jesus is willing to touch you today and heal you. Jesus has compassion on you.

Jesus then told the cleansed leper to go to the Jewish priest so his healing would be verified. The Law of Leprosy is found in the book of Leviticus 14:1-31. The healed leper had to go through a religious ceremony to prove he was actually cleansed.

The leper went and told others what Jesus had done. He spread the good news to others. Many people came to see Jesus insomuch that He could not stay in the city, but went into the desert area. The leper couldn't keep his healing to himself, he had to tell others.

This portion of Scripture tells us about prayer, faith and works. When we pray we must believe that God will answer (Hebrews 11:6). The leper had faith Jesus would heal Him. Jesus wanted to heal him. When he was healed, the leper witnessed to others.
Do you want results of God's power in your life? Pray, have faith, put your faith to work and watch what God will do.

Prayer: Dear Heavenly Father, I pray that you will use me as I put my faith to work. I know You answer pray and will honor my faith. Thank you for the results. In Jesus' Name. Amen.

Application: What are you believing God for? Put your faith to work. Pray and step out in faith. God will come through for you. He is willing.
Encounter Jesus: Receive His power & anointing.

 Awake or Woke? Gen. 2:18-25 Rom. 13:11-14 Rev. 19:5-10 1 Tim. 4:3 The Bible teaches that Homosexuality is sin. It is unnatural. Ungodly. An abomination to God. Marriage is between a biological male and a biological female only. Same-sex marriages are a sin. There are only 2 genders: Male and female. Abortion is murder. All lives matter to God. Awake to the Truth. Don't be a part of the Woke agenda. Jesus is the only way to heave, Heaven is real. Hell is hot. The Bible is God's only Word. Awake to God's Word. Don't be Woke.....

Good and Evil:  Gen. 2:8-17; 3:1-7,22-24. Adam was told not to eat from the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. His wife, Eve and himself ate from it and knew what evil was and were removed from the Garden of Eden. Ever since then,  people are searching for  their "Paradise." They are looking for a "Utopia," a "Paradise,", a "Promised Land," a "Nirvana", without God. They have their own views, religions, and theories on God , sin, Satan, Jesus,  and self.... They delve into cults (Jehovah Witnesses, Mormons, Christian Science, Scientology, Hinduism, Buddhism, Mindfulness, Yoga, Meditation, New Age, Occult, etc....). Whenever someone rejects, or is ignorant of the God of the Bible and His Son, Jesus the Messiah, they will try many "paths". But there aremany ways which seem right to people, but they are the ways of death (Pr. 14:12). There is only One Way to God and that is by His Son, Jesus (John 14:6; Acts 4:12).Becaus...

Encounter #12 : God's Family (the Church) Matters Read: Mark: 3:31-35 Jesus' mother and His brothers were outside the house asking to see Him. Jesus had half-brothers and sisters (see Matthew 13:55,56). They didn't believe that Jesus was Messiah and Savior until after His resurrection ( John 7:5). Then, on the Day of Pentecost they were in the Upper Room waiting for the Promise of the Father, the Holy Spirit (Acts 1:4). Jesus asked the multitudes around Him if they knew who were His mother and brothers. He said those who do God's will are part of His family. Believers in Jesus do the will of God from their hearts (Eph. 6:6). Jesus was not disrespectful to His mother Mary, nor to His family. He knew His mother's care, love and devotion. Flesh and blood are important. But sometimes spiritual relationships are more closer. God loves family. The first family was Adam and Eve. Jesus was born into a family through a virgin called Mary. All who ar...
