GOD IS ABLE

SCRIPTURE: (EPH 3:20 KJV)  NOW UNTO HIM THAT IS ABLE TO DO EXCEEDING ABUNDANTLY ABOVE ALL THAT WE ASK OR THINK, ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US,

THE KEY WORDS HERE ARE ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKETH IN US.

1^ST POINT: (MATT 9:28,29) TWO BLIND MEN CAME TO JESUS WANTING TO BE HEALED. HE ASKED THEM THIS QUESTION: BELIEVE YE

 THAT I AM ABLE TO DO THIS? THEY SAID UNTO HIM, YEA, LORD.

29    THEN TOUCHED HE THEIR EYES, SAYING,

ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU.

THE FIRST QUESTION IS DO YOU BELIEVE JESUS IS ABLE TO HEAL YOUR HURT. DO YOU KNOW THAT HE IS ABLE TO TAKE YOUR EVERY PAIN AND REMOVE IT AS FAR AS THE EAST IS TO THE WEST. DO YOU HAVE NO DOUBT THAT ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY IN HEAVEN AND EARTH HAS BEEN GIVEN TO JESUS. THE FIRST STEP IS TO KNOW WHERE THE REAL POWER IS. IT IS IN JESUS.

2^ND POINT ( ROMANS 7:18-32)

            THERE IS A SPIRITUAL BATTLE.

IT WAGES WITHIN OUR FLESH EVERY MOMENT OF EVERY DAY. THE FLESH WARS WITH THE SPIRIT. NOW, BEFORE I CAME TO THE KNOWLEDGE OF THE TRUTH THERE WAS NO SUCH WAR I JUST LIVED IN SIN AND KNEW NO BETTER WAY. YET EVEN THEN THERE WAS A GOD-SIZED HOLE IN MY HEART THAT NOTHING ELSE COULD FILL.

WE ARE ALL SINNERS IN NEED OF A SAVIOR.

3^RD POINT. (PHIL 2:13)

 WE KNOW THAT THE VICTORY IS OURS.

 SATAN WILL NOT HAVE HIS WAY WITH OUR FAMILY. HE WILL NOT DESTROY OUR LIVES, SATAN WILL NO LONGER STEAL OUR JOY.

 FOR IT IS GOD WHO WORKS WITHIN US BOTH TO WILL AND TO DO HIS GOOD PLEASURE.

GREATER IS HE WHO IS WITHIN US THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD (1 JOHN 4:4)

“ALL’S HOLLOW EVE”

TOMORROW IS “ALL SAINTS DAY” BEFORE THIS DAY WAS CALLED EVERY PATRON SAINT HAD THEIR OWN DAY. SAINT JUDE WHICH WAS THE PATRON SAINT OF LOST CAUSES WOULD HAVE HIS DAY AND THE CHURCH WOULD PRAY ON HIS DAY FOR VICTORY IN OVERCOMING THE BAD HABITS THAT CONTINUED TO PLAQUE THEM. SAINT CHRISTOPHER HAD HIS DAY AND HE BEING THE PATRON SAINT OF TRAVELERS AND SO ON… FINALLY IT WAS DECIDED TO PUT THE DAYS ALL TOGETHER IN ONE DAY THAT WOULD BE A GREAT DAY OF VICTORY THROUGH PRAYER. AND SO “ALL SAINTS DAY”

THE VICTORY IS OURS. THERE MAY BE WEEPING IN THE NIGHT BUT YOUR JOY WILL COME IN THE MORNING.

WE HEAR SAYINGS LIKE THAT AND WE LONG FOR HEAVEN. WE LOOK AT OUR PAIN AND WE LONG FOR THAT ETERNAL LIFE WITH OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. WE KNOW THAT GOD IS ABLE WE KNOW THAT JESUS DWELLS WITHIN US YET WE CAN GET SO TIRED OF THE WAR. WHAT WE NEED IS ETERNAL LIFE.

CONCLUSION: (JOHN 17:1 KJV)  THESE WORDS SPAKE JESUS, AND LIFTED UP HIS EYES TO HEAVEN, AND SAID, FATHER, THE HOUR IS COME; GLORIFY THY SON, THAT THY SON ALSO MAY GLORIFY THEE: 2.  AS THOU HAST GIVEN HIM POWER OVER ALL FLESH, THAT HE SHOULD GIVE ETERNAL LIFE TO AS MANY AS THOU HAST GIVEN HIM. 3. AND THIS IS LIFE ETERNAL, THAT THEY MIGHT KNOW THEE THE ONLY TRUE GOD, AND JESUS CHRIST, WHOM THOU HAST SENT.

ALL POWER AND AUTHORITY HAS BEEN GIVEN ONTO JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR. AND HE IS MORE THAN ABLE TO DO FAR MORE THAN WE COULD EVER ASK OR EVEN THINK OF. ACCORDING TO THE POWER THAT WORKS WITHIN YOU. GOD IS A REWARDED OF THOSE WHO DILIGENTLY SEARCH HIM. HE KNOWS YOU HAVE BURDENS THAT YOU ARE TRYING TO CARRY ON YOUR OWN. TRUST HIM TODAY TO FILL THAT GOD SHAPED HOLE IN YOUR HEART. TRUST HIM TODAY TO PROVIDE FOR YOUR EVERY PHYSICAL. EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL NEED. TRUST HIM TODAY TO HEAL YOUR BODIES TRUST HIM TODAY TO DELIVER YOU FROM THE SNARES OF THE WORLD. TRUST HIM TODAY TO LIFT YOU UP IN HIS NEVER-ENDING LOVE AND UNDERNEATH IS HIS EVERLASTING ARMS. GOD IS ABLE. HE IS MORE THAN ABLE AND THE BATTLE, WELL THE BATTLE IS THE LORDS. AND NOW THAT IT IS HE THAT DWELLS WITHIN YOU, THE BATTLE IS YOURS. YES THERE IS TRUE VICTORY IN JESUS. WONT YOU TRUST HIM TODAY? GOD IS ABLE…
