Sunday 1st Service
Title / Scripture: I Am the Resurrection and the Life (John 11:38-44)
Speaker: Pastor Ryu Kwang-su
Date / Place: October 16, 2022 / Immanuel Church (Seoul)
Summary
▣ Introduction
1. Background of the Text
1) Lazarus’ house in Bethany – It was a house where Jesus, who had no place to lay His head and no place to rest, could comfortably rest, pray, and meditate.
2) Israel at that time – In a state of having become a vassal state, it was right before disaster was about to strike.
3) Lazarus, who had a fatal illness – Jesus, who had raised Jairus’ daughter, the son of the widow of Nain, and the centurion’s servant, delayed for two whole days even though He knew that Lazarus, an exemplary disciple, was sick. Meanwhile, Lazarus died, and it is a situation where four whole days have passed since he died.
2. We do not think of no answer as an answer.
1) Abraham – He received the promise at age 75, but for 25 years until age 100 he did not receive the answer.
2) Joseph – For 17 years he held onto God’s covenant and prayed, but instead he went into slavery and prison. At age 30 he stood before the king. Was there really no answer for Joseph during that time?
▷ The fact that you are sitting here now must be seen as an answer. When a problem has come to me, I must be a person who can see that an answer has come. This is how the 7 Remnants, the people of Hebrews 11, and the people of the early church discovered something tremendous regardless of whether the problem was small or big.
3) Hannah – With a vain prayer she had no answer at all, but after she realized the Nazirite, God answered immediately.
4) David – He faced crises of death for more than 20 years.
5) Elisha – Other friends all took Bethel, Gilgal, and Jericho, but he prayed to be given a double portion of the spirit. He raised up the Dothan movement.
▷ When you hear God’s Word, do not hear it as a sermon, but you must hold onto the covenant God gives me.
6) Daniel who resolved
3. Before knowing the reason why Jesus went late to Lazarus, you must first know who this One is.
1) The One who existed before creation – If you know this fact, all past destiny and disaster become unrelated to me.
▷ Why? Because He is the One who ended our past. In the end, people drown in the past and die, but it must be ended. When you see someone who was doing well in the life of faith collapse one day, they definitely fall into their own past and collapse. It comes out at decisive moments. Jesus Christ, who existed from before eternal ages, changed all our past into blessing. You must believe. Past wounds are cancer.
2) The One who incarnated and came to be seen – Seeing and holding onto this covenant is called faith, receiving, and salvation. At this time, the Holy Spirit is bound to work within me.
3) The One who overcame death and resurrected – Even now He is with us invisibly. And He gave evidence: pray to God in My name. Command and use authority in My name. We think of this blessing as ordinary, but the forces of darkness tremble. Satan knows that we do not believe and follows us around. He resurrected and even now has called us to break down darkness in that name. This is the main point of the Bible. If you do not know this, there is no need to go to church. Because the church misses this, all the churches in America are closing their doors.
4) Christ who will stand as the Lord of the Second Coming when the end comes
▣ Main_ The reason Jesus appeared late even though Lazarus had already died
1. He is not dead but asleep (John 11:11, 13).
1) Our soul is for eternity. – People who have not received salvation say that when you die it is the end, but our soul has only been called to heaven; it is sleeping.
2) The gospel and our prayer and evangelism ministry are for eternity. They do not disappear. That is why we dedicate ourselves.
(1) The prayer of Moses, who knew this (Psalm 90:16) – Prayed to the Lord’s servants, for the descendants
(2) Paul, who knew this – He said going to heaven is better. After such a Paul died, there was a greater work in Rome.
3) Your prayers are recorded in the kingdom of heaven (Revelation 8:3-5), and living the life of faith and moving to evangelize are all captured on heaven’s CCTV, and it says not one will be in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
2. Because Christ became the firstfruits of our resurrection on the last day, He said he is not dead but asleep.
1) Jesus, who said “Your brother will rise again” in response to Martha’s words that if Jesus had been there her brother would not have died (John 11:22-23)
2) I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live even though he dies, and whoever now lives and believes will never die for eternity (John 11:25-26)
3) This is related to future generations and eternity, and it is saying that my life, the souls I have saved, and the Lord’s work do not die for eternity.
3. Actual saving took place.
1) Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God (John 11:40) – Jesus’ answer to Martha’s words that it has been four days since he died and there is already a smell
2) For the benefit of the people standing around (John 11:42) – Many relatives and people, the whole world, are watching. And we, 2,000 years later, are also watching.
3) Lazarus, come out (John 11:43) – It means that Jesus Christ is the Triune God and the Creator. Pray this. In the name of Jesus Christ, the work of re-creation can take place in my work and field. The work of re-creation can take place in one who is dying.
▷ The lies of the Jews who were shocked to learn that Christ had resurrected – the theft theory, the vision theory, the swoon theory
4) This Jesus said, Go to all nations in My name (Matthew 28:16-20). Cast out demons. Lay hands on the sick. Even if you drink poison, you will not die (Mark 16:15-20).
▷ You are not dying. Your prayer, the Word, and evangelism continue for eternity, and the work keeps taking place even to your future generations. That is why He said to Solomon, “Because of your father I will forgive you, I will give you a chance.” Later, all people die, and the event of going to hell and heaven and being changed takes place. At that time you will see God’s amazing glory.
▣ Conclusion
1. Go with the faith of resurrection and the faith of life.
1) If you go with only this faith, one of you can save a family.
2) If you only hold onto this, you can save the church.
3) If you only hold onto this covenant, you can save the workplace.
4) If you are only not deceived in the places where the Remnants are scattered, you can save them.
2. Faith that believes in the healing and power that come when praying in the name of Jesus Christ is important.
1) The faith of Mary and Martha when Jesus came
(1) The faith of Mary, who knelt down before Jesus
(2) The faith of Martha, mixed with faith, resentment, and frustration, asking why He came only now
2) Your children are going through hardship, but they cannot do as they wish. They are like Lazarus. If you think wrongly, the answer does not come.
3) A person who has had a spiritual problem for a long time cannot. They are like Lazarus. People say try praying, take medicine and come to your senses, but the person themselves cannot, so it torments them more.
3. You must believe in the power of intercessory prayer.
1) Lazarus cannot move, but the prayer of Mary and Martha is important.
2) It ended with one command from Jesus. If the light of Christ shines on your work and field, all darkness is bound to flee.
3) Try praying in the authoritative name of Jesus. Try intercessory prayer. A person who has become like Lazarus cannot exert strength. Martha’s faith changed. You must change your faith. You must believe in the spiritual work. You must believe in the power of Christ. The work will surely take place.
▷ God will surely do the 237 healing summit saving movement. The three courtyards must be restored. Naturally it will be answered.
Transcript
Thank you. When we were young, the environment, after all, didn’t really have places where you could study comfortably and such. So back then, if I bought one ticket, I could ride the bus up to a certain point. So every Saturday without fail, since that was a time when I wasn’t preaching, I would take one or two books and get on the bus. On the bus I would quietly look out and read books like this, and when it went all the way to the end, I would just get off. Back then, in Busan, a place called “Gichal” was the very last stop, and it was nice to get off there. There was a river, there was a stream, there were trees, and I would look around like this. Then I would get on again and come back like this, like this. Almost every week. Of course I didn’t do it when something special came up, but I did that almost every day. It turned out to be a really good time for me. That ended at the same time I got married. Because she kept asking where I was going. She kept asking why I was going. What’s more important, she asked who I was going with. So I thought it would be better not to go.
▣ Introduction
1. Background of the Text
1) Lazarus’ house in Bethany
Actually, Jesus had no place to lay His head and no place where He could rest. So there was a house where Jesus rested comfortably. That is Lazarus’ house in Bethany. And the two younger sisters ran errands well and so on, and one of them is the woman who poured perfume on Jesus, right? So it was a house where He could very comfortably pray and meditate and such.
2) Israel at that time
At that time the nation had fallen into a great crisis, the era of being a vassal state had come, persecution was arising, and so on. What’s worse, it was right before disaster was about to strike. It was such a time.
3) Lazarus, who had a fatal illness
Lazarus is a person whom Jesus liked very much, right? And people around called him a heretic, and as a disciple who believed in Jesus, he was a great target of persecution. But these people lived well, did well, and were a very exemplary kind of disciple, I tell you. This Lazarus got a fatal illness. Now, at that point, what should be done? There were methods Jesus had used until then, right? He raised Jairus’ daughter, and He heard the wailing of the widow of Nain whose only son had died and raised that son too. Jesus even healed by the Word without even going. But this important person was about to die, so shouldn’t Jesus have said right away, “Let’s go”? He didn’t go for two whole days. I didn’t read it all, but if you read the earlier part, He went to the region of Judea. The disciples even asked like this, “Why, if You go to the region of Judea there are many who will persecute the Lord now, so why there, why that house and not Lazarus’ house?” So He talked about spiritual things and such, right? He even said things like, “A person must walk in the daytime. If one walks at night, such and such happens.” Meanwhile, everyone, this is a text you know well, but there is something you must receive and take with you today, I tell you. Meanwhile, Lazarus died. Well, even supposing Jesus goes and raises him, it had already been four whole days since he died. As the Bible records, it had reached the point of decaying and smelling, but Jesus doesn’t go, I tell you. We must first look at that.
2. We do not think of no answer as an answer.
We think that no answer is not an answer.
1) Abraham
For 25 years he had received a sure promise, and even though he had it, the answer didn’t come, right? Do you know? It’s Abraham. He received the promise at age 75, and he had a child when he became 100, I’m telling you. This is something we must hold onto well. Why? Then what happened to Abraham during that time?
2) Joseph
Why, for 17 years he held onto God’s covenant and prayed, but it seemed to get harder and harder. He was a slave and then ended up going even to prison. In the year he turned 30, he meets the king. Then was what Joseph had during that time really no answer?
What Christians, especially Koreans, are most mistaken about is that they think it’s an answer only when they grab something. If you don’t know that you sitting in this place now is an answer, you’ll miss a lot, right? It’s not just that. Everything is in here. You must be a person who can see that an answer has come when a problem has come to me. Right? This was the 7 Remnants. This was the people of Hebrews chapter 11. This was the people of the early church. The most foolish thing is saying amen absurdly; that is the same as superstition, right? Why, a problem hasn’t come, but it’s a problem? This is mental illness. Right? But a problem really came, I tell you. Absurdly, it’s okay? Where would there be such a person with no plan? A problem came, but it’s okay. That’s not how it happened. Small and big problems came, and they discovered something tremendous.
3) Hannah
Hannah had no answer at all in the beginning, right? As we often say, no matter how much I pray, there’s no answer. Does God really exist? No, right? What Hannah wanted was a vain prayer. Right? One day, “Give me a Nazirite.” She realized. Didn’t God answer immediately?
4) David
Why, for more than 15 years, more than 20 years, he ran around fleeing, faced death, and faced extreme situations several times; David did, right? Isn’t that an answer? Look at the whole Bible, I’m telling you.
5) Elisha
Other friends all took Bethel, Gilgal, and Jericho, but, like you, to me who has no basis at all, give a double portion of the spirit. Most people see that as content without value. Is that so? It’s not, right? He came to raise up the Dothan movement.
You who are sitting here must remember this. When you hear God’s Word, do not hear a sermon, but you must grasp what the grace God gives me is, I tell you.
6) Daniel who resolved
When Daniel was taken captive, he said, “I resolved.” He said, “Becoming prime minister and a high official is not what is important; I resolved.” That Daniel did not choose something foolish. He chose something tremendous.
3. Before knowing the reason why Jesus went late to Lazarus, you must first know who this One is.
Jesus said, “I am the resurrection and the life.” He spoke of it right before this today, I’m telling you. “I am the resurrection and the life.” “I am the resurrection and the life,” who even now works and is doing the amazing work of saving. Why did Jesus stay and go late? Before that, you must first know who on earth this One is. You must experience it and receive an answer once.
1) The One who existed before creation
Who on earth is Jesus Christ? He was the One who was before creation. Right? It said that even Abraham believed in Him and was saved. If you know this part, all past destiny and disaster really become unrelated. Why? He is the One who ended our past. Everyone, in the end you drown in the past and die. You must end it. When I quietly look like this, when I see people becoming discouraged or shaken somewhere while living the life of faith, they definitely fall into their own past. It’s big trouble. Christ, who was from before eternal ages, changed all our past into blessing. You must believe that. When does it appear? It comes out at decisive moments. You must remember. Why, they’re doing well, living the life of faith well and diligently. Then one day you see them collapse, and they collapse because of that in the past. Satan knows this. There are past wounds, right? That is the same as cancer. They are caught there. End it, I’m telling you.
2) The One who incarnated and came to be seen
Second, who is Christ? Jesus is the One who incarnated and came to be seen. He is God who came to be seen, I mean. Everyone, seeing and holding onto this covenant is called faith, receiving, salvation. At this time, the Holy Spirit is bound to work within you. It is certain.
3) The One who overcame death and resurrected
Who is this Christ? He is Christ who overcame death and resurrected. What is it? You must grasp the evidence. Even now He is with us invisibly. He gave evidence and went. Now, you must not fail to believe this much. He gave evidence and went. What was it? “Ask in My name. Command in My name. Use authority in My name. Pray to God in My name.” Got it? So Peter said, “In the name of Jesus of Nazareth, I command you, rise up and walk.” You think of this great blessing too ordinarily, but when you say “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth,” the forces of darkness tremble. They know you don’t believe. That’s why they don’t tremble. Everyone, they know it’s fake. Knowing that you don’t believe in the power of Christ, this darkness keeps following you around. You must know. They know you don’t believe. Even unbelievers say it, right? “He knows like a ghost,” they say, right? The demons know. He resurrected and has called us to break down darkness even now in that name. This is the main point (主) of the Bible. If you don’t know this, there’s no need to do church. Why do church? Why go to church? Just stay at home. Right? It’s tremendous. So because the church misses this, all the churches in America have begun to close their doors. You who are hearing the message in America now are important. Do not be deceived by other things. Hold on firmly.
4) Christ who will stand as the Lord of the Second Coming when the end comes
Because the end will surely come. All scholars have said this. They said the end of the earth will come. Christ who will stand as the Lord of the Second Coming at that time.
▣ Main_ The reason Jesus appeared late even though Lazarus had already died
Now, this Jesus appeared late. Even though he had died.
1. He is not dead but asleep (John 11:11, 13).
1) Our soul is for eternity.
This is first. Jesus said he is not dead but asleep. It is in verse 11 too, and in verse 13; I didn’t read it all, but it is recorded. This is a very important word. He is not dead but asleep. People who have not received salvation, when they die, it’s dead. It’s over. No. Our soul has only been called to heaven; he is asleep. You must definitely remember.
2) The gospel and our prayer and evangelism ministry are for eternity. They do not disappear. That is why we dedicate ourselves.
Your prayers as ones who are saved, what you are doing now, are for eternity. I hope you believe. It’s not over. Because humans made it, it’s over; religion is what’s over. You must know that the gospel is for eternity and is not over.
There is a mother who prays a lot, and in this person’s family no one believes. Why, how can that be? Shouldn’t they at least come to church once just to look around? She is a mother who believes so well, but no one in the family believes. Fortunately, following that mother’s wish, it ended up that they wanted to hold the funeral in the church style. I went to that funeral and preached the gospel. Even a fool would have to do that; what else could I do? But now those children believe so well that even we are amazed. It’s not just believing well, I’m telling you. Usually when you see ordinary church members, there’s this and that, a lot of ups and downs, right? There’s none of that. Usually people who go to church are like that, right? There’s a lot of this talk and that talk. This person doesn’t have that either. Firmly holding onto the Word. “Wow!” How can this happen like this? It’s right that God did it, but how can a person change like that, I mean.
“Your brother is not dead but asleep.” Everyone, your prayer and evangelism do not disappear. That’s why we dedicate ourselves like this.
(1) The prayer of Moses, who knew this (Psalm 90:16)
Do you know Moses’ prayer? Psalm chapter 90 said it, right? Bless according to the number of days I suffered. To whom? He talked about two. To the Lord’s servants. And to whom? To the descendants. That’s right. Make no mistake, your prayer, your evangelism ministry, will have work take place for eternity. You must believe. It is not dying. It is sleeping. When you grow very old and go, that is sleeping.
(2) Paul, who knew this
Paul is a spiritually smart person, right? He said going is better. The work continues, I’m telling you. After Paul died, a great work took place in Rome.
3) Your prayers are recorded in the kingdom of heaven (Revelation 8:3-5), and living the life of faith and moving to evangelize are all captured on heaven’s CCTV, and it says not one will be in vain (1 Corinthians 15:58).
Your prayer, I think, “It is being recorded in the kingdom of heaven.” That’s right. Is it in the Bible? It is. In Revelation chapter 8 verses 3 and 5, it is all contained. Your living the life of faith, your moving to evangelize, are completely all captured on CCTV in heaven. Is it in the Bible? It is. In 1 Corinthians chapter 15 verse 58, not one will be in vain. Jesus had a reason to go late. He is making known something important. He arrived late.
2. Because Christ became the firstfruits of our resurrection on the last day, He said he is not dead but asleep.
1) Jesus, who said “Your brother will rise again” in response to Martha’s words that if Jesus had been there her brother would not have died (John 11:22-23)
This is second. What did Jesus make known? On the last day we will all be resurrected. I am the firstfruits. So being dead is not being dead. Who said that word? Because Martha learned that doctrine from Jesus, she said it. “Why have You come only now? If You had come quickly, wouldn’t my brother have not died and lived?” When He said, “Your brother will rise again,” she said, “Yes, he will rise on that last day, the day of resurrection.” Because of this, many people have criticized that Martha had unbelief, that it was a doctrinal faith, but that’s not so.
2) I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me will live even though he dies, and whoever now lives and believes will never die for eternity (John 11:25-26)
Jesus continued speaking. Jesus. In verse 25, “Yes. I am the resurrection and the life.” He said an important word in verse 26, right? “Whoever now lives and believes will never die for eternity. He who believes in Me, even the dead, will live.” Most people don’t understand this. What that means is, even if you die on this earth now and are called to heaven, you will live later, in a resurrection body. All bodies will be changed. Right? What if on the last day you haven’t died and are still alive? Then you will live for eternity.
3) This is related to future generations and eternity, and it is saying that my life, the souls I have saved, and the Lord’s work do not die for eternity.
Many people ask, “Is this all that important?” No. It is related to your future generations and eternity for a long time to come. The human soul does not disappear. It is only sleeping for a while. The word sleeping means waking up. Today Jesus Himself said it. “On the last day, yes. He who believes in Me will live even though he dies, and he who lives and believes will never die for eternity.” Your life, the souls you have saved, and the Lord’s work will not die for eternity.
3. Actual saving took place.
This is third. Actual saving took place.
1) Did I not tell you that if you believe you will see the glory of God (John 11:40)
An actual saving that shows who Jesus is took place. What is Jesus saying? “My brother is now completely dead and rotting and now smells, how have You come only now?” “If you believe My word, you will see the glory of God.”
2) For the benefit of the people standing around (John 11:42)
Right here, it said many people were standing around watching. So it says Jesus spoke loudly. It is directly recorded. Many Jews, many relatives, and many family members are watching. Right? It’s not just that. Today the world is watching. In fact, now that 2,000 years have passed, we are also watching. He said, “Take away the stone.” So, “Ah, what, does He want to see the corpse?”
3) Lazarus, come out (John 11:43)
Jesus said, “Lazarus, come out.” What is it? This word is very important to the Jews. It is very important to people who are believing in Jesus now.
It means that Jesus Christ is the Triune God and the Creator. Pray this. In the name of Jesus Christ, re-creation can take place in your work. Truly hold onto God’s covenant. It’s that the work of re-creation can take place in one who is dying. It’s amazing. That’s what is being talked about now. Later the Jews, after first crucifying Christ and after He resurrected, huh? They were shocked. So at first they lied, right? “They stole the body,” like this. They just lied. Politicians originally lie well. They keep lying. Because they’re scared. “Ah, they just saw something.” All the vision theory. Why, evidence kept coming out. Only then did they speak correctly. What was it? “Ha, we didn’t kill Him enough. That one woke up.” It’s wrong, but it’s a confession.
4) This Jesus said, Go to all nations in My name (Matthew 28:16-20). Cast out demons. Lay hands on the sick. Even if you drink poison, you will not die (Mark 16:15-20).
This Jesus said, “Go to all nations in My name.” “Cast out demons in My name.” “Lay hands on the sick in My name.” “Even if you drink any poison, you will not be harmed.” It means He will protect. It doesn’t mean drink poison; it means He will protect. It’s a tremendous word.
The event that took place in this village of Bethany today, what Jesus did, makes known something tremendous to us. It’s that you are not dying. Your prayer, the Word, and evangelism continue for eternity. The work keeps taking place to your future generations. To an unbelievable degree. Why, does it mean that even if the future generations do wrong, they inherit what the ancestors did well? It doesn’t mean that, right? Solomon said it. “Because of your father, I will forgive you once. I will give you a chance,” He said, right, in the Bible. At the very end, all people will again all be resurrected. A changed resurrection takes place to divide them to hell and to heaven. That’s how they will go. At that time you will see God’s amazing glory. But now this is not believable, I tell you. Now. He’s dead and smells. Jesus commanded. “Lazarus, come out.” Many theologians, including Bengel, interpreted it like this: “It’s a good thing He said ‘Lazarus, come out.’ If He had just said ‘Come out,’ the whole cemetery would have come out.” They joked like that.
▣ Conclusion
1. Go with the faith of resurrection and the faith of life.
Jesus Christ, who on earth is He? We know. So today, go with the faith of resurrection and the faith of life.
1) If you go with only this faith, one of you can save a family.
If you go with only this, you, one person, can save a family. You must believe.
2) If you only hold onto this, you can save the church.
If you only hold onto this, you can save the church wherever you go.
3) If you only hold onto this covenant, you can save the workplace.
If you only have this covenant, you can save the workplace wherever you go, I’m telling you. You can save it. I have seen such witnesses.
4) If you are only not deceived in the places where the Remnants are scattered, you can save them.
If you are only not deceived in many places, in the places where our Remnants are scattered, you can save them. Without a doubt. There’s a lot of evidence to give. You’ve heard evidence a few times, right? I have received so much grace seeing the elders. Really.
There is an elder who came over from North Korea, I mean, because of his life of faith. I saw this person being blessed and saw his testimony, and it’s not because of money. What does this person have? He threw away his company, threw away money, threw away everything, and fled holding one Bible, he said. This person is truly a man of God, as I see it. In doing that business, they all gather on Sunday, and he has to go to church, but they drink and cook up business deals all among themselves, he said. When he looked behind that, their homes were all a mess. This elder sincerely spoke with tears. Whether the sons and daughters he left in the North are studying, how they are living in North Korea, it weighs so heavily on his heart that he can’t forget, he said. So he gave scholarships to the children of the company’s business partners. As much as they were drinkers, later they came to know. They did everything with the elder as the priority. They told him about the dangerous things. He dedicated a lot to the church, that person.
2. Faith that believes in the healing and power that come when praying in the name of Jesus Christ is important.
It’s said we pray in the name of the Lord, and God knows whether you believe or not, but the biggest problem is that the forces of darkness know well. I won’t say the name, but a certain pastor in Busan had a child, had a daughter, and the daughter couldn’t speak. This is this person’s story. He kept praying before God to open this daughter’s ears and open her mouth. But the daughter was not healed, he said. But changes began to come to himself. Power began to come to this person. So he healed many patients, right? Why, I invited that person as the speaker for Sunday evening service, I’m telling you. The service started at 7:30, and he preached until 11. He said those who didn’t want to listen could go. Really, some people went, and I prayed in the back: “Lord, please let it end quickly.” Really, it’s not a lie. It ended at around 11:40, at night. But by the end I didn’t even know what he was saying. Mumbling something. That night, a certain senior deaconess in our church, a person who had been tormented by evil spirits her whole life, right? This began to be healed.
1) The faith of Mary and Martha when Jesus came
Really, today when Jesus came, Mary knelt down. This Martha said, “Why are You coming only now?” This word has faith mixed in it too. There was discontent and she spoke of frustration, but “Jesus, why are You coming only now?” These are faiths.
2) Your children are going through hardship, but they cannot do as they wish. They are like Lazarus. If you think wrongly, the answer does not come.
Your children are having difficulty? They can’t do as they wish. Right? They’re like Lazarus, I’m telling you. Everyone, if you think wrongly, the answer doesn’t come.
3) A person who has had a spiritual problem for a long time cannot. They are like Lazarus. People say try praying, take medicine and come to your senses, but the person themselves cannot, so it torments them more.
A person who has had a spiritual problem for a long time can’t. They’re like Lazarus, I’m telling you. Rather, it torments them more, that does. “Hey, you try praying.” Prayer has to be possible, right? “Hey, take that medicine and come to your senses. Pull yourself together.” Saying it is easy. For the person themselves, it’s not like that. As time gets longer and longer, it makes it so much harder, I tell you. Really believe.
3. You must believe in the power of intercessory prayer.
1) Lazarus cannot move, but the prayer of Mary and Martha is important.
The power of intercessory prayer. Lazarus cannot move, but that prayer of Mary and Martha.
2) It ended with one command from Jesus. If the light of Christ shines on your work and field, all darkness is bound to flee.
It ended with one command from Jesus. If the light of Christ shines on your work, on your field, all darkness is bound to flee. It is certain. I concentrate all night on something and pray only that prayer.
3) Try praying in the authoritative name of Jesus.
In the name of Jesus, in the authoritative name of Jesus, in the name of Jesus who saved me, in the name of Christ who forgave me and you, try it, I’m telling you, intercessory prayer. Why? A person who has become like Lazarus cannot exert strength. It teaches us a lot. However, Martha changed the faith she had at first, right? You must change your faith. You must believe in the spiritual work. You must believe in the power of Christ. The work will surely take place. You may or may not believe, but I am convinced. Here God will surely do the 237 healing summit saving movement. The three courtyards must be restored. Naturally it will be answered. I bless you in the name of the Lord Jesus to enjoy this blessing today. Let us pray.
Prayer
We give thanks to God. Today, let the whole nation and the world enjoy Christ, who resurrected and saves, who has become life. Let us begin. Let us focus on Christ. Let us break down darkness. Let us restore the amazing authority that overcomes the power of darkness. Let us restore the true church. We pray in the name of Jesus Christ. Amen.
