When
Jesus Return she he find find on the earth?
1:
Luke 18:8
This is an
occasion where a woman needed some help and the only person that could help her
was the city court judge, the problem was this judge was a busy man and
if you did not meet certain criteria or didn’t have a lot of money or a good
lawyer he did not have time for you.
This woman knew that the only person that could help her was the
judge, and he would not take time to view her case, however she was persistent
with going before the unjust judge asking for his assistance until the judge
finally said if I don’t give this woman what she want she is going to keep
worrying me, he figured it would easier to fix this situation for her than to
have her keep bugging him.
This judge that did not fear god and certainly didn’t care
anything about the people he served, yet he said because this woman continue to
worry me I will give her what she wants.
Jesus acknowledged that the judge helped the woman only because
she was worrying him and said if the unjust judge did that “Shall not God avenge
his own elect, which cry (pray) day and night unto him?”
In verse 8 Jesus said “I tell you that he will avenge them
speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of Man (Jesus)
cometh shall he find faith on the earth?
Habakkuk
2:4
Says
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in him:
but the just shall live by faith.
It does not matter what material things you poses in this life,
never get lifted up in your self thinking you are more than what you are because
of the things that you own. Things will not be able to deliver you in a time of trouble, but
you will need faith in god.
Notice
in
Luke 18:8
Jesus did not say when the Son of man comment who ever has
the most stuff wins. A man’s like does not consist of his possessions.
Ezekiel
7:19
They shall cast their silver in
the streets, and their gold shall be removed: their silver and their gold shall
not be able to deliver them in the day of the wrath of the Lord: they shall not
satisfy their souls, neither fill their bowel: because it is the stumbling block
of their iniquity.
I know some may say that was for then, or is for later and the
church will be gone, but I submit that those that say that really don’t’ believe
it them themselves other wise why worry about heaping up all that wealth and
property for yourselves at the expense of others, why not use your money instead
of raising more from others to fulfill your dreams or ministry? Why not take
yours and help the poor and others? I tell you why, because they don’t believe
we will be gone when trouble comes, we are already in the last times.
Have you ever known a real wealthy person with earthly wealth
get sick or if trouble hit them emotionally that the wealth they have cannot
deliver them, they can get the best doctors on earth to practice on them
and yet faith in God is their only help.
In the case of the woman that had an issue of blood in
Mark
5:25-26
“And a certain woman which had an issue of blood twelve years and had
suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that
she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather
grew
worse.
This
is not a knock on doctors and I don’t believe it is wrong to go to one, many
times they will say I have done all I can, it is now in the hands of God, just
remember it is called a practice for a reason. God is the Creator and he knows
more about your makeup than all the specialist and scientist on earth will ever
know.
In
Revelation 3:17
Jesus was admonishing the church of the Laodiceans
said
“Because thou sayest I am rich, and increased with goods,
and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable,
and poor, and blind, and naked.
How can a person have so much and yet so little. Back to
Habakkuk 2:4
“Behold, his soul which is lifted up is not upright in
him: but the just shall live by faith.
God is raising up a people with complete trust faith in his son
Jesus which is the author and finisher of our faith.
Gas is steady on the rise and those that control it are steady
getting wealthier for their greed, food cost climbing, banks failing, large
corporations collapsing, finance managing companies are in financial trouble,
this a not a time for the Saints of the most high to be doom and gloom, just
remember the Just shall live by faith.
This is the greatest hour for the people of
God, the believers and followers of Jesus .
This may sound off when you first read it but perhaps some
careful thought and prayer on your part it will begin to make sense.
When Jesus was in the wilderness preaching to the people all day
he wanted to feed the people naturally. Men say feed first tell them about Jesus
later, but Jesus did the opposite, he preached to them first (tell Jesus he did
it wrong!) if you have got a message and the people are being ministered to they
will sit all day and hear what you are saying, not just a choir, a joke or two
and no true deliverance.
In Matthew 14:17
Jesus feed a 5,000 men plus the women and children with only 5 loaves of bread
and 2 fish (the 1st 5 loaves of wonder bread) plus they took
up 12 baskets of fragments.
Before Jesus feed the people he looked up to Heaven and blessed
what he had, the word did not say he said grace but rather he blessed it. We
ought to bless all that we have in Christ Jesus, the next time you fill your
tank up with gasoline bless the gas for the Lord to stretch it. I tell you if
the believers all over the world could (and we can) walk in total faith and the
Lord began to cause the gasoline in our tanks to multiply like the 5 loaves and
2 fish in Matthew 14:17
and the 7 loaves and a few fish in
Matthew 15:34, I believe those controlling the oil and
the gas companies would change their tune.
In John 2
at the wedding they ran out of wine and Jesus mother came to him and said the
people are out of wine. Jesus told the servants to fill 6 water pots of stone
with water, and Jesus turned the water into wine.
Let me say this, there have been debates if Jesus really turned
water into wine, some say the people where so drunk they could not tell the
difference, others would say why would Jesus make wine for people, don’t they
know that offends me to think about that, well my friend you will have to ask
Jesus that question when you get to Heaven, but I don’t believe you will.
I believe the whole point is missed with all these debates, I am
not saying go put water in your gas tank nor advocating drinking wine or
supplying wine to others, but the greater lesson is we must live by faith and
God can cause increase in what we have and change what we have into supernatural
by faith. By faith you can cause your gasoline to increase while in your tank
(Talk about a tiger in your tank!)
Faith can cause that which we have to increase and multiply by
faith in God. James 5:
17 “Elijah
was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it
might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and
six months”.
Elijah was human just like you and I, there was no super human
qualities about him, and he did not have a large red
P for Prophet on his chest or
have a phone booth for a dressing room, but was just like you and me. He had his
fears, he felt he was all alone in the world, but he believed God. It took faith
to stand before 850 false prophets and challenge them to serve the true god.
Consider Moses standing before the children of Israel with the
chariots of Pharaoh charging towards them to destroy them ,mountains to one side
and a sea to their back , it took faith against all those odds to stand with a
stick in your hand and tell the children of Israel “Stand still”, God anointed
what Moses had, when God first appeared unto Moses on the Mountain, God asked
Moses ,what is that in your hand ,Moses replied a rod (a
straight slender stick
growing
on or cut from a tree or
bush) and God anointed what was in his hand.
2
Kings 4
:
1 now there cried a certain woman of the wives of the sons of the
prophets unto Elisha, saying, Thy servant my husband is dead; and thou knowest
that thy servant did fear the LORD: and the creditor is come to take unto him my
two sons to be bondmen.
:
2 And Elisha said unto her, what shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast
thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house,
save a pot of oil.
:
3 Then he said, Go, borrow thee vessels abroad of all thy neighbors, even
empty vessels; borrow not a few.
:
4 And when thou art come in, thou shalt shut the door upon thee and upon
thy sons, and shalt pour out into all those vessels, and thou shalt set aside
that which is full.
:
5 so she went from him, and shut the door upon her and upon her sons, who
brought the vessels to her; and she poured out.
:
6 And it came to pass, when the vessels were full, that she said unto her
son, Bring me yet a vessel. And he said unto her, there is not a vessel more.
And the oil stayed.
:
7 Then she came and told the man of God. And he said, Go, sell the oil,
and pay thy debt, and live thou and thy children of the rest.
Elisha was successor to Elijah and that anointing was passed down to him. Notice
in verse: 6 the oil did not stop flowing until they ran out of containers to put
it in.
In
Revelation 13:7 the word say at that no man might buy
or sell, save he that had the
mark,
or the name of the beast, or the number of his name during the time spoken off,
it will not matter if you have cash check credit card or money order, gold or
cd’s.
You
may say yea brother but we won't be here during that time. If you really believe
that sell all that you have and give to the poor as Jesus said, Yet you are
saying I am going to hold on to all my wealth just in case. Just remember in
that day no man might buy or sell, save he that the
mark, or
the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
The Lord is preparing a people for his return, with an anointing
that will sustain the believers when all else is failing whether it be banks or
the economy.
The lives of the believers in Jesus are not determined whether
the democrats or republicans are in office but total faith in God, and trusting
for your salvation in his Son Jesus Christ.
Luke
18:8
