Jesus is the Same

Hebrews 13:8 (NASB)

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. 

          He is the same Jesus that we read about in the Bible.  He healed the sick, raised the dead, calmed the storm, fed the 5000, etc.  (But most of all, He provided redemption for us!!!) 

          When I was newly born-again (yes, over 40 years ago!) we were astounded by the unbelieving believers.  The “expectancy” level was very low.  Jesus save and healed...once in a while.  So the Jesus that we read about in the Bible was a different Jesus than the Church was experiencing. 

          There was a mighty awakening among believers.  Over the years that “expectancy” level of many has grown cold and again we need an awakening to the things of God. 

Did He say it?  Will He not do it?  

          My friend wanted to pray for her grandson for healing…and he remarked, “Why?  Jesus doesn’t heal.”  She proceeded to tell him that He does!  He is the same Jesus today as He was yesterday.  And the Bible says that Jesus is the exact representation of the Father.  So, if the Bible says that you are the “head and not the tail, above and not beneath”.  If the Bible says that “everything you put your hand to will prosper", we should believe it!  

Psalm 91 says that “no evil shall befall you nor any sickness come near your dwelling”.  

          Wow!  Let’s take that promise and speak it boldly over our family! We have to determine not to be cold and indifferent to the things of God!  If the Bible says it’s true, let’s believe it!  Let’s expect signs, and wonders, and miracles. 

          I’d have to say that I don’t understand some of the things that I have seen.  But one thing I KNOW:  The Bible is true!  If He did it for one, than He can do it for you.  Let’s determine to believe that over the things that we see.  The Bible says we walk by faith and not by sight.

          Numbers 23:19 says, "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent; Has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?

   I love this verse!  I encourage you to memorize it!  And speak it often.
