Living the Prophet's Creed

 Living the Prophet's Creed

6/22/2021

 

Text: Micah 6:1-8

(1)  Hear ye now what the LORD saith; Arise, contend thou before the mountains, and let the hills hear thy voice.

(2)  Hear ye, O mountains, the LORD'S controversy, and ye strong foundations of the earth: for the LORD hath a controversy with his people, and he will plead with Israel.

(3)  O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me.

(4)  For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

(5)  O my people, remember now what Balak king of Moab consulted, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim unto Gilgal; that ye may know the righteousness of the LORD.

(6)  Wherewith shall I come before the LORD, and bow myself before the high God? shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves of a year old?

(7)  Will the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, or with ten thousands of rivers of oil? shall I give my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?

(8)  He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?

 

Creed[1]

1.    A brief authoritative formula of religious belief

—   the Nicene Creed

2.    A set of fundamental beliefs

—   also : a guiding principle

—   “Never settle for mediocrity is his creed.” -Jill Lieber

 

There are principles in God’s Word that when lived out, or violated, lead to a life blessing or cursing.

 

Tonight, we will take a look at what the late Rev. James Lumpkin, Sr. called, “The Prophet’s Creed,” and I take as a title this thought:

Living the Prophet’s Creed

 

A creed, a set of fundamental beliefs, a collection of guiding principles, are only as effective as your desire and determination to live them out.

 

It is a good practice for children to have memorized all the books of the Bible by the time they leave Sunday School and graduate to the Adult Bible Class.

Many children are taught to memorize the Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:3-17):

  I.    Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

  II.    Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image

  III.    Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain

  IV.    Remember the sabbath day, to keep it holy

  V.    Honour thy father and thy mother

  VI.    Thou shalt not kill

  VII.    Thou shalt not commit adultery

  VIII.    Thou shalt not steal

  IX.    Thou shalt not bear false witness

  X.    Thou shalt not covet

And, there are two passage in the Bible that every saint in an Apostolic Oneness Pentecostal should have total recall on:

·       Deuteronomy 6:4-5, “(4) Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD:  (5) And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy might.”

·       Acts 2:38, “Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.”

 

These all serve to pass on to the next generation a set of Basic Bible Principles, that when lived out produce a godly and sanctified life.

 

Living the Prophet’s Creed consists of three principles that we all need to apply to our lives:

1.    To do justly 

2.    To love mercy

3.    To walk humbly with thy God

 

In verse 2, of our text, the LORD has a controversy, a complaint, with Israel, and He is pleading with them:

“O my people, what have I done unto thee? and wherein have I wearied thee? testify against me. For I brought thee up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of servants [slaves]; and I sent before thee Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.

 

In an attempt to call them back to a right relationship with Him, He reminded them of Egypt – the place God delivered them, and redeemed them.

 

He sent servants, you might even identify them as prophets:

·       Moses = Lawgiver, to deliver and instruct.

·       Aaron = The High Priest, to atone.

·       Miriam = Prophetess & Praiser, and to teach the women.

 

The Lord is pleading with His people to remember all that He did for them.

Reminding them the He turned Baalam’s curse into a blessing proving His faithfulness to Israel.

They were perhaps sincere in their desire to keep the commandments of the Law, but misguided seekers

The laws were there not to be followed in some type of burdensone manner, but to establish principles, which had been forgotten.

Sometimes a law can be made that is still kept but nobody remembers the purpose. <ham, Vevay>

 

When you live The Prophet’s Creed you will automatically live by the principles that the Law was formed to teach you.

 

The Prophet’s Creed:

To Do Justly

1.    Do right by God:

Mark 12:29-30, “And Jesus answered him, The first of all the commandments is, Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord:  And thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength: this is the first commandment.”

·       Love God

·       Heart = Are your affections solely on Jesus?

·       Soul = Would you give up your life for Jesus?

·       Mind = Will you lay aside what you think for what God’s Word tells you?

·       Strength = Will you give all the strength and effort of your life to His will?

 

2.    Do right by your neighbor:

Mark 12:31, “And the second is like, namely this, Thou shalt love thy neighbor…”

·       Prefer your fellow

·       Never work to harm another

·       Treat people right

·       Love people

 

3.    Do right by yourself:

“…as thyself. There is none other commandment greater than these.”

·       Do you like yourself?

·       Don’t deprive yourself of all that God has richly provided.

4.    We live by the justness and truth of the Word of God and we are judged by it.

 

To Love Mercy

1.    It is necessary that we not only live by the justice and judgment of the Law, but to also give to mercy what it requires – LOVE MERCY.

·       The Law came by Moses buy grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.

·       2 Corinthians 3:5-6, “…our sufficiency is of God; Who also hath made us able ministers of the new testament; not of the letter, but of the spirit: for the letter killeth, but the spirit giveth life.”

·       Psalms 85:10, “Mercy and truth are met together; righteousness and peace have kissed each other.”

·       Psalms 25:10, “All the paths of the LORD are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies.”

·       The mercy you show is the mercy you’ll  know.

·       God is not in the business of stopping people from receiving mercy: “The God of my mercy shall prevent me…” (Ps. 59:10).

o   Prevent = “project oneself, precede, go before.”

o   God’s mercy goes before us

 

To Walk Humbly with Thy God

1.    1 Peter 5:6-7, “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:  Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.”

·       Acknowledge God’s Sovereignty

o   There is One God and you are not Him!

·       Beware, Humility Required:

o   Confess and forsake your sin

o   Submit to the ordinance of water baptism

o   Yield to the Holy Ghost.

·       Accept God’s Mercy

·       Walk in God’s Grace

·       Is the Lord Jesus Christ truly your God?

·       Walk humbly before others as well

o   God isn’t the only one who hates a proud, haughty or arrogant attitude.

·       Submission is the hallmark of humility.

·       James 4:5-12, “(5) Do ye think that the scripture saith in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy?  (6)  But he giveth more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto the humble.  (7)  Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.  (8)  Draw nigh to God, and he will draw nigh to you. Cleanse your hands, ye sinners; and purify your hearts, ye double minded.  (9)  Be afflicted, and mourn, and weep: let your laughter be turned to mourning, and your joy to heaviness.  (10)  Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.  (11)  Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.  (12)  There is one lawgiver, who is able to save and to destroy: who art thou that judgest another?”

·       Galatians 6:1-3, “(1) Brethren, if a man be overtaken in a fault, ye which are spiritual, restore such an one in the spirit of meekness; considering thyself, lest thou also be tempted.  (2) Bear ye one another's burdens, and so fulfil the law of Christ.  (3) For if a man think himself to be something, when he is nothing, he deceiveth himself.”

 

Each of the three people Micah records as being sent to His people were at one point violators of The Prophet’s Creed, but one they learned the necessity of Living the Prophet’s Creed they became examples for us to follow:

Moses – The great lawgiver, did justly as he operated in his role as both deliverer and the giver of the Law

·       A murderer, disobeyed God in a moment of rage

Aaron – The High Priest, loved mercy and as a priest stood as a bridge between God and Man making atonement for sin.

·       An idolater, excused his sin

Miriam – The prophetess of praise and instructor of women, learned humility.

·       Jealousy, envy, rebellion

 

It’s a question: “He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good; and what doth the LORD require of thee, but to do justly, and to love mercy, and to walk humbly with thy God?” (Micah 6:8).

 

I want everyone to come forward tonight to the altar, and I’m going to give you some basic instructions:

·       Close your eyes

·       Lift your head up. Look up.

·       Raise both hands. Pray. Surrender. Worship.

·       Lift voice.

·       Commit to Living The Prophet’s Creed: to do justly, to love mercy, to walk humbly with your God.

The Agenda for the Ages

 

The Agenda for the Ages

3/16/2021

 

John 10:10, “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

There are competing agendas at work today, which have been at war before your birth, and your response to these plans determine not only your eternal destiny, but also your present and future.

 

Thieves come in to steal, seize, invade, and rob you away from Jesus Christ. How? By appealing to your heart of flesh, your desires, your lusts (longing for what is forbidden).

 

Your desire for power, position, material wealth, food, illicit relationships, are all part of a grand scheme, an agenda, formulated by the satan to deceive you and steal you away from God.

 

This devilish plan was put into action long before you were born:

 

There are some who have called this generation “The LAST, LOST, LUST Generation,” but I don’t believe that. I see this generation as:

·       The First Generation because God always saves the best for last and He planned for you to be alive in this time.

·       The Found Generation because you won’t stop searching until you have become exactly what Jesus designed the Church to be.

·       The Favored Generation because you to want and desire what is real and true and will pursue it without with all you have in you.

 

1 Corinthians 4:14-15, “(14)  I write not these things to shame you, but as my beloved sons I warn you. (15)  For though ye have ten thousand instructors in Christ, yet have ye not many fathers: for in Christ Jesus I have begotten you through the gospel.”

Listen to your pastor, read your Bible, pray every day, and carve out some time every day to praise Jesus.

 

1 Corinthians 14:10, “There are, it may be, so many kinds of voices in the world, and none of them is without signification.”

This is speaking specifically about the gift of tongues, and the fact that there are many languages in the world with each conveying definite meaning of thought, but unless verbally expressed it remains silent.

 

1 John 4:1-6

(1)  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

Be careful of those who would pull you away from Jesus. False teachers, false christs, false men and women who influence you without you even knowing the seed of sin they sow into you.

 

You have no business watching or listening to anyone who displays actions in direct violation to the Word of God.

 

So, Disney has some good shows, but many are full of dialogue and scenes that disrespect the mother and father. Youtube and Instagram are full of “influencers” (hear that??) who in some way shape or form are working a plan to get you to buy what they are selling, or to desire (lust after) that which cannot satisfy.

 

And music, there are some good songs out there today, but many are full of words that either celebrate the accumulation of things, encourage violence, openly mock Jesus and His name, or they objectify the opposite and secretly plant in your mind the idea that premarital sex is ok with anyone of any sexual orientation.

 

2 Peter 2:1-2

(1)  But there were false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them, and bring upon themselves swift destruction.

(2)  And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of.

Anyone who tells you that repentance, water baptism in the name of Jesus Christ, or receiving the Holy Ghost with the evidence of speaking in tongues is not necessary is a false prophet secretly working an agenda placing seeds of doubt and destruction.

 

If the enemy can get you to doubt the very foundation of salvation he can invade territory that is not his and steal you away from Jesus.

 

(2)  Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:

(3)  And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.

(4)  Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.

(5)  They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.

(6)  We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.

 

We have an image in our mind of how things ought to be; the devil has a scheme of how he wants things to be (steal, kill, destroy); but, Jesus Christ, the King of kings and Lord of lords, has an agenda for your life that will last throughout all age and time and eternity.

 

Jesus has planned for you “life and that more abundantly” – the fullness of all that life has to offer.

 

He has added – superadded – blessings available for you, that the thief wants to snatch from you.

 

It would have been enough to have been born again – that is life; but He also gives us much more: Love, Joy, Peace, Grace, Adoption, Salvation, Eternal Life…

 

We need to lay our image of how we think things ought to be and tell Jesus, “I want the abundant life you have for me.”

 

Someone recently said to me, “I never want to control God, until I do.”

 

Most of your fear and anxiety (those butterflies or the stomachache you sometimes get) result from trying to forcefully control and shape your life into the way you think it should be, but if you’d allow Jesus to work His Agenda in your life you could have all the abundance this life has for you.

 

With Jesus, even when my day is rough, I have abundant life.

With Jesus, even if I’m picked on at school, I have abundant life.

With Jesus, even when my future seems uncertain – abundant life.

With Jesus, family troubles won’t stop His abundant life.

 

The Agenda for the Ages is Jesus’ plan for you that He outlined from the very foundation of the world to give you a more abundant life.

 

“Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world” (John 1:29).

–John the Baptist

 

Do you feel as if you’re the last one on God’s list tonight? He chose you of all the people who have ever lived to be alive at this crucial moment in time and is entrusting you with His message of Abundant Life – The Gospel

 

Do you feel lost tonight? Seek and call out to Jesus tonight and there’s no doubt you’ll find Him because He’s never far from you.

 

Do you have trouble with lust tonight? Give it to Jesus. “Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).

 

 

The Comeback Story of the Royal Seed

 The Comeback Story of the Royal Seed

(9/20/2020)

Word from God: “While everyone was busy looking after Jezebel they failed to take note of Athaliah.”[1]

Thought: Jezebel’s attack on the ministry was a distraction, Athaliah is a real threat to the kingdom, Jehoshabeath (Jehovah-Sworn)[2] will protect the royal seed, and the King will come back.

 

Text:

“But when Athaliah the mother of Ahaziah saw that her son was dead, she arose and destroyed all the seed royal of the house of Judah. But Jehoshabeath, the daughter of the king, took Joash the son of Ahaziah, and stole him from among the king's sons that were slain, and put him and his nurse in a bedchamber. So Jehoshabeath, the daughter of king Jehoram, the wife of Jehoiada the priest, (for she was the sister of Ahaziah,) hid him from Athaliah, so that she slew him not” (2 Chronicles 22:10-11).

 

“But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light: Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy” (1 Peter 2:9-10).

 

Genesis 3:14-15, “And the LORD God said unto the serpent, Because thou hast done this, thou art cursed above all cattle, and above every beast of the field; upon thy belly shalt thou go, and dust shalt thou eat all the days of thy life:  (15)  And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel.”

 

 

JEZEBEL = “Baal exalts,” “Baal is husband to,” or “unchaste”

 

When we say her name, it conjures in our mind an image and thought. She was a dangerous queen, the wife of Ahab, the king of Israel, but her true allegiance was to herself.

 

She refused the authority of Jehovah, and even killed His prophets: “For it was so, when Jezebel cut off the prophets of the LORD…” (I Kings 18:3-4). – No details, but just that fateful line.

 

The threatened to kill Elijah after he destroyed the prophets on Mount Carmel. Her intimidation tactic distracted him and he ran.

 

Refuse the distracting tactics of Jezebel and identify her by her traits:[3]

·       CONTINUALLY TESTIFY OF THEMSELVES: Through their revelations, insight, or spiritual sensitivity.

·       OFTEN SEEK RECOGNITION: Thrive on recognition from the pulpit by leaders, becoming offended or distant if they are not.

·       TRY TO GET CLOSE TO LEADERS:  Fellowship, Flattery, Prophecy

·       SELDOM WANT TO BE IN AUTHORITY: But will seek to be the power behind the throne (with hopes of being the King of the throne).

·       USUALLY ATTRACT THE WEAKEST MEMBERS IN THE CHURCH: Will begin to control and manipulate them with flattery and/or grand prophecies.

·       USE THOSE WEAK MEMEBERS:  To spread slander, discontent, and division, lies...

·       OFTEN TRY TO BE A MATCHMAKER: And try to control those relationships.

·       MOST OFTEN HAVE WEAK SPOUSES: (Like Ahab) But will proclaim them strong, spiritual, and greatly gifted.

·       STEAL PROPHECIES FROM OTHERS:  In order to look better.

·       USUALLY FEEL PERSECUTED:

·       OFTEN MAKE EXCUSES:  And never, or rarely, acknowledge their own sins.

·       USUALLY ARE WORKS-ORIENTED: Often fasting and praying hoping to be seen as spiritual.

·       OFTEN FULL OF BITTERNESS: Towards Father, or another male authority figure.

·       OFTEN HAVE FLAWED REASONING: hiding behind a pseudo-spirituality that implies that only the spiritual can understand.

·       OFTEN HAVE CHARISMATIC PERSONALITY: Constantly looking for people to listen to them, with hopes of having their own following.

·       OFTEN REFUSE SPIRITUAL AUTHORITY OF PASTOR:  Get their direction from God, have no need of a Pastor, or counseling.  Usually leave the church and have private meetings - - forsaking the house of the Lord.

·       OFTEN THE SOURCE OF THE JEZEBEL SPIRIT IS SHAME: A grudge one holds against themselves, others, or God.

Yes, Jezebel is dangerous, but most of the time her attack is a distraction, a feint, an attempt to get your attention on a possible danger and to ignore the real danger lurking in the palace hall.

 

What Jezebel seeks to have is control through manipulation, domination, and intimidation. She works behind the scenes causing division, mistrust, while feeding a spirit of offense with hope of getting you to reject the God appointed spiritual authority in your life.

 

“The issue is never the issue, the issue is almost always control” –James Rowe

 

You won’t win this battle in your flesh, it’s spiritual warfare:

Ephesians 6:10-20, “Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.  (11)  Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.  (12)  For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.  (13)  Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.  (14)  Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;  (15)  And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;  (16)  Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.  (17)  And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:  (18)  Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;  (19)  And for me, that utterance may be given unto me, that I may open my mouth boldly, to make known the mystery of the gospel,  (20)  For which I am an ambassador in bonds: that therein I may speak boldly, as I ought to speak.”

 

ATHALIAH = “afflicted of the Lord”

While everyone was busy looking after Jezebel they failed to take note of Athaliah

 

Jezebel had a sister-in-law who was married to King Jehoram of Judah. Her name was Athaliah and she was the sister of Ahab.

 

>>Some scholars believe that Athaliah was the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel<<

 

Regardless, she was a deadly force to be reckoned with. She was a contemporary of Jezebel and had watched and learned from her, silently learning how and when to make her own move for power.

 

The desire for power and recognition will destroy you, but usually not until it has hurt and possibly destroyed those in your way. Innocent people, God called people, and children of the King will not stop Athaliah from reaching her goal. Not if she can help it.  

 

Because she will stop at nothing to get what she wants, God will afflict her mind. There is no peace of mind for Athaliah. She was vexed, troubled, bothered, upset, worried.

 

When you want something so bad that you will take it, steal it, kill for it, and lie for it. Well, you have an Athaliah problem.

 

While Jezebel is busy manipulating, pulling the strings and intimidating – Oh, she’s a bully – people to achieve her agenda,

Athaliah sits in the queen’s chamber silently plotting, scheming, and biding her time.

 

The spirit of the antichrist controls Athaliah. She is driven to destroy the Royal Seed.

 

God told the old serpent, the devil, back in the Garden of Eden, that while he would bruise the heel of the seed of the woman, the Seed of the woman would crush his head. That passage in Genesis 3:15 is the first messianic prophecy in the Bible and it is a promise that there was One coming who would reverse the curse of sin.

 

Since that time, the devil has been trying to supplant the promise of God with the antichrist spirit.

 

Antichrist = “An opponent of the Messiah.”[4]

 

In another passage, Judah was promised that the scepter would never depart from His line. David was promised that from his seed would come the Messiah.

So, that old antichrist spirit rose up and influenced Athaliah, and she set out to kill all the royal seed of Judah. Every man and every boy of the tribe of Judah who had a claim to the throne she marked down until the right moment and then, when her son died, she had them killed…

 

JEHOSHABEATH = “Jehovah is an oath”

BUT, Jehovah had sworn that the Seed of the woman would crush the head of the devil, and that the Messiah [the Anointed One] would come through Judah.

 

This is a good time to tell you, “God keeps His promises.”

Joshua 23:14, “…not one thing hath failed of all the good things which the LORD your God spake concerning you…”

Delay is not denial.

 

So, Jehoshabeath [Jehovah is an oath] found one infant son of the royal seed and hid him away. He was hidden in the house of God. Do you want to know the safest place to stay when Athaliah is on the loose? Stay in the house of the Lord.

 

Jehoshabeath’s husband was Jehoiada the priest, and he hid and protected Joash for seven years in the temple. In that seventh year he gathered all the Levites and all the rulers and captains and showed this the Joash of seed royal and they made a covenant with him saying, “Behold, the king’s son shall reign. As the LORD hath said of the sons of David.”

 

2 Chronicles 23:11, “Then they brought out the king's son, and put upon him the crown, and gave him the testimony, and made him king. And Jehoiada and his sons anointed him, and said, God save the king.”

 

This is The Comeback Story of the Royal Seed – It doesn’t matter what plot the enemy of your soul has planned against you. When God has made an oath He will keep it, and He will never leave or forsake you.

 

Joash [Jehovah fired][5] is a type of Christ. We know how that the devil, the antichrist, tried to kill Jesus Christ – the Messiah:

1.    He was falsely accused and brought before Pilate.

2.    He brutally abused, beaten, bloodied, wounded, tortured.

3.    He was marched to the place of execution.

4.    Then the Royal Seed, the promised Messiah, was brutally staked and crucified to a cross.

5.    Naked. Alone. Rejected. Despised. Afflicted: “…he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”[6]

6.    He died. “On the cross crucified for me He died. He was nailed to the cross for me”

7.    He was buried in a tomb.

Yes, the Christ was buried. He was dead. Everyone has an appointment with death, but this death seemed to be the capstone of Satan’s career.

 

How could anyone come back from that?

·       You have been dealing with a Jezebel, who is trying to distract you from the ministry God has ordained for you to walk in.

·       You’ve been attacked by Athaliah, who want to kill you because your very existence is proof of God’s power and Lordship.

·       You’ve made mistakes, committed sins, chose paths, and listened to lies that told you that there no coming back from where you are this time.

·       Your marriage is trouble, your prayer life is non-existent, your job is in question, finances are down, sickness is all around you, you’ve hunkered down in a hidden place (secreted away in isolation like Joash of old), and perhaps you’ve just about given up all hope and haven’t the strength to lift the shield of anymore.

·       HOLD ON! Day three is coming! Resurrection power is on its way. the Royal Seed is coming.

·       On that third day, Jesus Christ rose from the dead and He said: “All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth” (Matthew 28:18).

 

Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ is The Comeback Story of the Royal Seed, and He is here right now to help you with your own Comeback Story.

 

Comeback from depression, sin, anger, marital strife, financial despair, addiction, hopelessness.

Come to Jesus. He trades beauty for ashes, joy for heaviness, forgiveness for sin, peace for anger, unity for strife, miraculous provision for financial despair, freedom from addiction, and He is the God of Faith, Hope, and Love.

 

Jesus Christ is the Comeback King and you are His Royal Seed.

1 Peter 2:9-10, “But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his marvellous light:  (10)  Which in time past were not a people, but are now the people of God: which had not obtained mercy, but now have obtained mercy.”
