Expect Great &
Mighty Things !!!
Call to Me, and I will answer you, and show you
great and mighty things, which you do not know.'
Jeremiah 33:3 (NKJ)
“Hey Chopper, I know you have said we should expect to encounter God as we seek
him out. What should we do to seek God out?”
“That's a good question Simon. Pastor Rick and Pops told me that if I wanted to
seek God out I should study what Jesus said; read the Gospel; do what Christ
asked; and to teach others to do what Jesus told us to do.”
“Sort of like when Jesus said:”
Teaching them to
observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world.
Matthew 28:20 (NKJV)
“That's right Simon, when Jesus spoke, he used verbs. GO, TEACH, FEED, OBSERVE, etc. Verbs that
require an action on our part. Pastor Rick and Pops said one of the keys to seeking Jesus
out is to observe what he has commanded.
I believe that God is calling us to a radical level of obedience. Our
focus will be to find a seat on the ground in front of Jesus, listening to His
words as the disciples once did. We have asked the Holy Spirit to provide us guidance and instruction so
that we may understand what Christ meant when he spoke. We will be working
our way through Jesus words, trying to gain an understanding of what Jesus
meant, so that these words can transform our lives.
We simply ask the Holy Spirit to tell us not what we want to hear, but what we
need to hear.
As we seek him out, as I, you, we seek to listen to him, expect the unexpected.
Expect God to meet us in miraculous ways. Moses walked up to the Red Sea,
pinned to the Red Sea still expecting. Do you think for a minute he
expected to see the Red Sea part. Not on your life. But Jesus is the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. God could part a
Red Sea for me, for you, or for us. We need to come expecting.
How do you think that blind man felt as Jesus rubbed mud in his eye. Do you
think he expected to Jesus to rub mud in his eye so that he could see? I'm sure
he came expecting to have mud rubbed in his eye so that he could see. NOT!! But
that is what happened. If we come expecting God to do things within our
levels of understanding, we will more than likely miss God. However, if we
seek God with an open mind and ask God to help us find him, he has promised he
will.”
“Hey that's cool, count me in, I want to sit at Jesus feet and learn to observe
all things that Jesus commanded us.”

Won't you join us? Jesus has been waiting for a people to
come and sit at his feet, to observe all things that Jesus has commanded.
Would you please consider making a commitment to come and learn from the Rabbi,
to ask the Holy Spirit to be your teacher so that we might obey what Jesus
taught us?
If your heart is as ours, won't you pray with us:
Father in heaven, you have been desiring to have a people walk in your ways,
help us to be attentive, help us to be moldable, we submit ourselves as clay on
the potter's wheel to be shaped and molded into your vessel. Teach us to
obey all things you have commanded. Teach us to seek your heart and to
demonstrate our love for you by our obedience to your will. Send us your
Holy Spirit that he might instruct us in your ways.
In Jesus Christ precious name we pray. Amen.
