OMBS7/ Step Into the Light

PRAYER - "Just A Little Talk With Jesus" Two men en route to Emmaus met a man and had an interesting talk with Him. They invited Him to have dinner, and while He blessed and passed the food, "their eyes were opened, and they knew Him." It was Jesus. He was risen. They went to Jerusalem and told the eleven, "The Lord is risen indeed," sharing what they knew. The Lord often comes into our midst unawares. Take care to recognize when He is speaking to you. Luke 24:36 - "As they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you." PRINCIPAL - "The Sepulcher Was Nigh At Hand To Golgotha" Joseph of Arimathaea, a good man who "had not consented to the counsel and deed of them" who crucified Jesus, begged the body of Jesus from Pilate, wrapped it in linen, "and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone." "Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden; and in the garden a new sepulchre, wherein was never man yet laid. There laid they Jesus ...for the sepulchre was nigh at hand," John 19:41-42. Luke 23:55 - "The women also, which came with him ...beheld the sepulchre, and how his body was laid." PRINCIPLE - "Even Eyewitnesses Were Incredulous At Resurrection" Although Jesus clearly prophesied His resurrection, the women who went to Jesus' tomb "found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre. And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus. ...they were much perplexed." When they told the apostles, "their words seemed to them as idle tales, and they believed them not." Even Peter ran in and saw the linen clothes laid by themselves, but departed, "wondering in himself at that which was come to pass." Luke 24:25 - [Later, Jesus] "said unto them, O fools, and slow of heart to believe all that the prophets have spoken." PROPHECY - "The Powers Of Heaven Shall Be Shaken" From the day Antichrist commits the Abomination in the Third Temple, the three and a half years until Armageddon will be hellacious. "There shall be signs in the sun, ...moon, ...stars; ...distress of nations, with perplexity; the sea and the waves roaring." Great wars among heavenly demon principalities will reek havoc on earthly events. Satan knows he has but a short time, and he will be in an earth-shattering rage. Luke 21:25 - "Men's hearts failing them for fear, and for looking after those things which are coming on the earth: for the powers of heaven shall be shaken." Step Into the Light Thy word is a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path. - Psalm 119:105 As long as you live by the Word of God, you never have to be in the dark again. You never have to remain in confusion about which path to take. You never have to grope blindly along, struggling to find your own way. Isn't that great? Isn't it exciting to know that the Word of God will give you all the light you need every day of your life if you'll allow it to? Build your faith in that Word and renew your commitment to it as you make this confession today: "In the Name of Jesus, I commit myself to walk in Your Word. I recognize that Your Word is integrity itself—steadfast, sure, eternal—and I trust my life to its provisions. "You have sent forth Your Word forth into my heart. I let it dwell in me richly in all wisdom. It does not depart out of my mouth; I meditate in it day and night so that I may diligently act on it. Your Word is an incorruptible seed, abiding in my spirit, and it's growing mightily in me now, producing Your nature, Your life. "I thank You, Jesus, that Your Word is my counsel, my shield, my buckler, my powerful weapon in battle. It is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path. It makes my way straight before me, and I never stumble or fall for my steps are ordered by Your Word. "I recognize the strategies and deceits of Satan and I put a stop to them by speaking Your Word out of my mouth in faith. "I am confident, Jesus, that You are at work in me both to will and to do Your good pleasure. I exalt Your Word. I hold it in high esteem and give it first place in my life. I boldly and confidently say that my heart is fixed and established on the solid foundation—the living Word of God. Amen!"
