Words of Life|Pastor Balan Swaminathan|HIPM Balan Swaminathan

Are you the lonely sparrow looking for a shelter and refuge? Are you the pilgrim weeping over your current situation? Are you the doorkeeper who wants to do something for God that this world may consider low? ----more----God is saying,  Psalm 84: 11-12  For the Lord God is a sun and shield; The Lord will give grace and glory; No good thing will He withhold From those who walk uprightly. 12 O Lord of hosts, Blessed is the man who trusts in You! 

Be joyful in your trials as you always grow through trials When faith gets tested, it is not to destroy us, but to make us strong We can never get ahead of God's timing, better learn to wait ----more----One thing we all must pray is for wisdom to deal with people Doubt doesn't allow us to progress, never doubt God, never doubt your ability Double-mindedness doesn't allow you to take decisions on your own, but easily swayed by others, God hates double-mindedness.  

From the life of unnamed wife of Manoah (Samson's mom) we learn,1. Your barrenness has something to do with the purpose of God.  2. She labored with her husband in the field 3. A woman who fosters a healthy relationship with her husband----more----4. Willing to be entrusted under Manoah's care 5. She got a divine insight or a greater revelation from God 
Judges 13:2-5 2 Now there was a certain man from Zorah, of the family of the Danites, whose name was Manoah; and his wife was barren and had no children. 3 And the Angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “Indeed now, you are barren and have borne no children, but you shall conceive and bear a son. 4 Now therefore, please be careful not to drink wine or similar drink, and not to eat anything unclean. 5 For behold, you shall conceive and bear a son. And no razor shall come upon his head, for the child shall be a Nazirite to God from the womb; and he shall begin to deliver Israel out of the hand of the Philistines.” 

Acts 3:1-10 - A lame man healed at the temple gate. - Miracle happened outside the temple when Peter spoke a word of faith - Miracle was not experienced until Peter lifted him up----more---- - Our faith alone is not enough for a miracle to take place, faith must be put in action - What action have you taken in those areas where you have been praying for a miracle? - As people look to have fellowship, are we willing to accept those who are new among us? 

Resurrection of Lord Jesus is an undeniable historical fact supported by multiple eye witnesses, historical documentations including both Biblical and extra-Biblical sources serving as a foundation of our Christian Faith. 
We see four different voices of resurrection  in Matthew 28----more----1. Announced (Voice of the Heaven) 2. Evidenced (Voice of the Witness) 3. Tricked (Voice of this World) 4. Commissioned (Voice of the Church) Which voice do we allow to control us? 
There is so much of negativity within you There so much of negativity around you At times voice of the world is so loud that you can't hear God Voice of the devil is directing you to destroy your future Which voice do you allow? 

Today we need the anointing, gifts and the power of God.  - Anointing is needed to establish your authority and your call - Gifts are needed to establish your credibility through signs and wonders and to serve others - Power of God is needed to witness, protect and to take possession.
