The Hand of God

Gods hand works in our lives mightily, and gives us the tools that allow us to be victorious. He teaches us in a way that makes His word simple to understand if we allow Him into our life. As Jesus taught in Rev 3:20: “Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hears My voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with Me.” Take notice that action is required on our part. We must open the door and hear what He would say to us with understanding.

John 3:28-36

3:28 these are the words of John the Baptist. Some were trying to stir up jealousy between him and Jesus. John didn’t fall into the trap. He understood his place and role.

3:29 John was happy that the Prophecy of Christ was at hand and being fulfilled. John played a very important part in the wedding ceremonies.

3:30-31 He that is above all is the one knocking at the door. Answer the call and open the door of your heart and mind to let Him in. When you do this, you will lack for nothing.

3:32 if you think earthly and open not the door you will miss out. The wisdom and knowledge you were to partake of will be gone.

3:33 seal G 4972; to stamp (with a signet), for security. The seal of God is that truth sealed in your mind.

3:34-35 measure G 3358; limited portion. God didn’t give Jesus a limited portion of the Holy Spirit. He gave all things into His hand. This is why when Jesus touched someone they were changed.

3:36 wrath G 3713/3709; (permanent) wrath. Open the door when He calls. Those that don’t believe will not have eternal life. He payed an awesome price on the cross for us so we could have the option to open the door.

Mark 1:23-31

1:23-24 the unclean spirit understood who Jesus was and recognized the Power He possessed.

1:25-26 torn G 4682; convulsions. Hold thy peace: Be silent. The unclean spirit had to come out because God place all the power in His hand. Jesus placed the same power in our hand through His name in( Luke 10:17-19).

1:27 Jesus spoke with authority!

1:28-29 fame G 189; hearing of what He accomplished (report of). They went to the house to rest.

1:30-31 anon G 2112; directly, at once. Jesus touched His hand with her hand and she was well. When Jesus touches someone they are changed. The power of the hand of God can do many mighty things!

Luke 11:17-23

11:17 some had accused Jesus of casting out demons in the name of Beelzebub (satan). Satan would not fight against himself. Jesus called on the power of God to cast out the demons.

11:18-19 their sons couldn’t cast out the demons. Fighting amongst themselves brings division.

11:20 this is proof that the power of God was present. It was in Jesus’ hand.

11:21-22 based on the power we possess, satan is stronger than us. But the one who holds all the power is God and He can crush satan. In the name of Jesus Christ we can crush satan also. He gave us the power, what are we doing with it?

11:23 make a stand against those that would scatter His people! The antichrist is coming, we must stand strong.

Isaiah 45:11-12/17-22

45:11-12 this is our Father! The maker and creator of all! His hands are mighty and able.

45:17-18 those that o0vercome will have everlasting life to look forward to. God created the earth inhabited not a waste place. It became void and without form in (Gen 1:1-2), at satans rebellion. God’s hand is strong. He created us for His pleasure (Rev 4:11), make sure we pleasure Him.

45:19-20 God doesn’t keep dark secrets. Come to Him, who has made known the salvation to all.

45:21-22 God alone can save. Don’t look to any other thing!

Isaiah 11:1-11

11:1 Jesse was the father of David and through that seed line would come Christ.

11:2 are you lacking any of these? The ways of the world will leave lacking in many things. Ask of Him and He will give you wisdom and strength.

11:3 the Lord knows your heart and mind. He judges according to this.

11:4 this is prophecy of the Second Advent. Jesus is going to straighten things out. Don’t be alarmed for the righteous have nothing to fear.
