Message for March 10, 2019 from Pastor Shirley

Jesus said, “Remove the stone.” The sister of the dead man, Martha, said, “Master, by this time there’s a stench. He’s been dead four days!” Jesus looked her in the eye. “Didn’t I tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?” Then, to the others, “Go ahead, take away the stone.”John 11:38-42

      The dreams you had, the hope you had, the thing you were believing for has died.  It is easy to become indifferent when what we have been believing for isn’t happening or doesn’t happen in our time frame.  Those things may have become a stench to you. Stench not only means a bad smell but also means; a bad effect, an unpleasant event or situation.

       When the dreams have died, when hope seems lost, when the vision has become dim.  When we not dare not dream again, to hope again. We need someone to step into our lives and speak a life giving word to us. To tell us to believe again.  To let faith arise again.

Then he shouted, “Lazarus, come out!” And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with and his face was bound about with a  napkin. Jesus saith unto them, “unwrap him and let him loose”. That was a turnaround for many of the Jews who were with Mary. They saw what Jesus did, and believed in him.  John 11:43-48

      The stone that has been set up to keep your dream in the grave let it be loosed today. That which has bound your dream from speaking is begin loosed to speak again.  Let your Lazarus come forth. See that dream unwrap for the glory of God.
