"Something More!" - Once More

 "For our God is a consuming fire." (Hebrews 12:29 KJV)

  "This is what the LORD says - the Holy One of Israel and you Creator: "Do you question what I do for my children? Do you give me orders about the work of my hands? I am the one who made the earth and created people to live on it. With my hands I stretched out the heavens. All the stars are at my command. I will raise up Cyrus to fulfill my righteous purpose, and I will guide his actions. He will restore my city and free my captive people - without seeking a reward! I, the LORD of Heaven's Armies, have spoken!"" (Isaiah 45:11-13 NLT)

 Just so you know, we might have a choice, something they call, "Free Will," but even then, if we are His children, (even though we don't know it,) He will guide us to Himself, one way or another! The whole point about the fact that Jesus can make things happen with just a command, is really everywhere all throughout the Bible. As Pastor Bryan says, "Read the Bible slowly!" If we take the time to read with the ability to stop and think what we are reading, then things come alive to us; so many things which can be easy to pass over. 

 If you have understood the situation with Jesus raising Lazarus from the dead, then you should know that Jesus knew already that Lazarus was going to die, before it even happened. There is this thing that the people of Isreal believed, that you are really not dead until after three days; so, Jesus timed His arrival to Lazarus' tomb for the fourth day. We know this because Martha said to Jesus when He asked them to roll the stone away, "Lord, he has been dead for four days. The smell will be terrible?" (John 11:39) 

 That is not all, but it has also been said, that when Jesus shouted out, "Lazarus, come out!" that He had to say the name, "Lazarus," or everyone else in their graves would have woken up and came out of their graves! Without a doubt, I am certain the God can do whatever He wants to do, even though we don't know that He is doing it; even if we don't know that it is Him who is doing it! 

 Much like the blind man that was born blind; which by the way, Jesus used His hands to heal him of his blindness; much like He made the very first man, from the dirt of the ground, in the garden...

"As Jesus was walking along, he saw a man who had been blind from birth. "Rabbi," his disciples asked him, "why was this man born blind? Was it because of his own sins or his parent's sins?" "It was not because of his sins or his parent's sins," Jesus answered. "This happened so the power of God could be seen to him. We must quickly carry out tasks assigned us by the one who sent us. The night is coming, and then no one can work. But while I am here in the world, I am the light of the world." Then he spit on the ground and made mud with the saliva, and spread the mud over the blind man's eyes. He told him, "Go wash yourself in the pool of Siloam" (Siloam means "sent"). So the man went and washed and came back seeing!" (John 9:1-7 NLT)
