Good News for Everyone Tom and Susan Shanklin

History proves that Jesus rose from the dead 2,000 years ago. It confirmed everything that He said and proves that he is the Son of God.



But what does it mean to us today? Is there power for us today because of this historical event?



The scriptures tell us emphatically YES! His resurrection is our resurrection, and when we receive Christ, there is great power in our lives because of the resurrection. Join us for this powerful teaching as we explore God's Word for revelation of the greatness of His power towards us who believe according to mighty power which God wrought in Christ when He raised Him from the dead.

Resurrection Power: It Changes Everything!

 



What do you need from the Lord? Maybe you have a physical issue that the doctors can't fix. Or a financial quagmire with no solution. Or a child gone astray. Perhaps it's a need that consumes your days with worry.



A woman in the Bible had a problem as well—an issue of blood draining the very life out of her body for 12 long years. Draining her finances, too, as she looked in every corner for an answer. She was a social outcast, too, because her condition required that she go about crying, "Unclean! Unclean!" everywhere she went.



But then she heard about Jesus, how He made the lame to walk and the blind to see. Hope was born in her. She said, "I'm going to get something from the Lord! Today is my day! If I can just touch His garment, I will be made whole." Her whole being went out in pursuit of Him. She went after the mighty power that was in His life. Stretching. Reaching. Yearning. Pressing. She pushed her way through the crowd and touched Him, and it happened! Power went out of Him! He felt it. She know she was healed. She hid in fear. He asked, "Who touched Me?" He showed mercy and sent her away HEALED!



That same power is available to you today! Jesus went back to heaven, and sent that power back to His Church. That same miracle-working power, that same anointing is here today. We, too, must press through the crowd … the doubt and unbelief, past everyone who says that healing is not for today … and get ahold of the garment of Jesus. Latch hold and don't let go, until the power flows into you! The price has been paid on Calvary. The way is made. it's time to receive what God has for you through the power of the Holy Spirit.

Notes: WHAT DO YOU NEED FROM THE LORD?

Mark 5:25-34



And Jesus, immediately knowing in Himself that power had gone out of Him, turned around in the crowd and said, “Who touched My clothes?” (Mark 5:30, NKJV).



MT You can get what you need from the Lord by drawing on His power by fatih.



She kept saying. “I’m going to get what I need from the Lord!!!”



“For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. (Mark 11:23, NKJV).



She pursued the anointing. Came the press behind.



She would not be detered. She opened her spirit to recieve from the Lord.



“Your faith has made you whole.” Substance of things hoped for, evidence of things not seen. Heb. 11:1



She heard it. She saw it. She said it. She did it! Action.



He felt the anointing. The tangible substance of the Lord. Who toched me? Everybodiy’s touching ylou Jesus! Somebody touched me with the touch of faith.



Woman in Winnepeg applies this scripture and begiins to pull upon the Lord. She was healed of cancer,



HIS POWER IS AVAILABLE TO YOU TODAY!



Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. (Hebrews 13:8, NKJV).



“He who believes in Me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water.” But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive; for the Holy Spirit was not yet given, because Jesus was not yet glorified. (John 7:38-39, NKJV).



Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. (James 4:8, NKJV).



Oh, taste and see that the LORD is good; Blessed is the man who trusts in Him! (Psalms 34:8, NKJV).



Trust in the LORD, and do good; Dwell in the land, and feed on His faithfulness. Delight yourself also in the LORD, And He shall give you the desires of your heart. (Psalms 37:3-4, NKJV).



How precious is Your lovingkindness, O God!

 



Today, we are looking at Using Wisdom in Your Speech. Words are powerful! They can be used for good or evil. Sometimes, without realizing it, we are serving the devil by the things that we say. In this video, we look at using godly wisdom in the things that we say in order to produce peace and healing. This is a vital message for all Christians, especially if we want to live a long healthy life. Good speech doesn't come automatically. We need to guard our heart, renew our mind, and as God to put a guard on our mouth.





Notes: Using Wisdom in Your Speech

MT: The tongue is an expression of the condition of the heart, and can be used for good or evil. Make a decision to use your tongue to make peace and bring healing.



1 My brethren, be not many masters, knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation. 2 For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word, the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body. (James 3:1-2, KJV).



THE IMPORTANCE OF THE TONGUE



18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. (Proverbs 12:18, KJV).



11 The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life: but violence covereth the mouth of the wicked. 12 Hatred stirreth up strifes: but love covereth all sins. (Proverbs 10:11-12, KJV).



-Older man with supernaturally good health would not say anything bad about anyone,



For he that will love life, and see good days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile: (1Peter 3:10, KJV).



MURDER IN YOUR HEART



But I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment: and whosoever shall say to his brother, Raca, shall be in danger of the council: but whosoever shall say, Thou fool, shall be in danger of hell fire. (Matthew 5:22, AV).



-Hitler… wisdom from beneath… supernatural power based on hate. Moved people. 6 million Jews. People went along with it. 



We need a discerning heart.



GODLY VS. NATURAL WISDOM



Who is a wise man and endued with knowledge among you? let him shew out of a good conversation his works with meekness of wisdom. But if ye have bitter envying and strife in your hearts, glory not, and lie not against the truth. This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish. For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work. But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy. And the fruit of righteousness is sown in peace of them that make peace. (James 3:13-18, KJV).



Earthly, sensual (natural, soulish, animal like) demonic.



For ye are yet carnal: for whereas there is among you envying, and strife, and divisions, are ye not carnal, and walk as men? (1Corinthians 3:3, KJV).



O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh. (Matthew 12:34, KJV).



Rom 12:1,2 Be transformed by the renewing of your mind



WE ARE CALLED TO BE PEACEMAKERS



Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. (Matthew 5:9, AV).



A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another. (John 13:34-35, AV).



For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God. (Romans 8:14, AV).



He that wins souls is wise.



CONCLUSION: Make a decision to follow Jesus.

 



Psalm 103 tells us to not forget the benefits of the Lord. One of the greatest benefits of knowing Jesus is godly wisdom. When you receive Jesus, you receive wisdom. However, you must learn to draw upon that wisdom in order for it to help you. Wisdom will help you in so many areas, including your finances, your health, your family, your business or profession, and more. Enjoy this message on video or audio and be encouraged that wisdom belongs to you, in Jesus’ name.





Notes: WISDOM—A GOSPEL BENEFIT

But because of Him you are in Christ Jesus, whom God made unto us wisdom, righteousness, sanctification, and redemption. (1Corinthians 1:30, MEV).



MT: When you receive Jesus, you receive the wisdom of God, which comes by the Holy Spirit.



One of the ways He redeems your life from destruction is through wisdom. 



Benefits of Wisdom: Avoid mistakes and their consequences, understanding of truth and how to apply it (finances, relationships, physical, mental, and emotional health), how-to anything, guidance). Paul prayed for the church to have a “spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him.”



God gives us wisdom to apply knowlege for success in the Christian life. 



I. He Saves by the Foolishness of Preaching 1 Corinthians 1:18



II. Not by the Wisdom of Man 1 Corinthians 2:1-5



Truly I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God as a little child shall not enter it.” (Mark 10:15, MEV).



For I am jealous over you with godly jealousy. For I have espoused you to one husband, that I may present you as a chaste virgin to Christ. But I fear that somehow, as the serpent deceived Eve through his trickery, so your minds might be led astray from the simplicity that is in Christ. (2Corinthians 11:2-3, MEV).



Let no one deceive himself. If anyone among you seems to be wise in this world, let him become a fool that he may be wise. (1Corinthians 3:18, MEV).



III. The Wisdom of God Comes by the Holy Spirit 1 Corinthians 2:6-16



Mystery—something hidden to the unitiated. 2 Cor. 4:  If our gospel be hid …



John 3:3 Except you be born again, you cannot see.



The Holy Spirit is Your Teacher



But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things. (1John 2:20, MEV).



Conclusion: Come to Jesus and Receive Wisdom (Jn 1:12)

Solomon asked for wisdom, and God gave Him an understanding heart. But the Lord was so happy with His prayer that He also gave Him riches and honor. Many great blessings will come into our lives as we ask God for wisdom to know and do His will.

Notes: PRAYERS THAT GOD ANSWERS

Then God said to him: “Because you have asked this thing, and have not asked long life for yourself, nor have asked riches for yourself, nor have asked the life of your enemies, but have asked for yourself understanding to discern justice, “behold, I have done according to your words; see, I have given you a wise and understanding heart, so that there has not been anyone like you before you, nor shall any like you arise after you. “And I have also given you what you have not asked: both riches and honor, so that there shall not be anyone like you among the kings all your days. (1Kings 3:11-13, NKJV)



MT When you ask God for wisdom, He will give it to you.



THE KEY IS TO ASK



 If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. (James 1:5-6, NKJV).



ACCORDING TO HIS WILL



You ask and do not receive, because you ask amiss, that you may spend it on your pleasures. (James 4:3, NKJV).



Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him. (1John 5:14-15, NKJV).



-When you ask according to His will, He will give you more than you ask for … 



-His Word is His will.



WAIT FOR HIS COUNSEL



They soon forgot His works; They did not wait for His counsel, But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tested God in the desert. And He gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul. (Psalms 106:13-15, NKJV).



Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (3John 1:2, AV).



Tom’s testimony in Haiti. OTHER EXAMPLES: Health, relationships, business, on and on.



PAUL PRAYED FOR WISDOM FOR CHRISTIANS 



that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, (Ephesians 1:17, NKJV).



JESUS HAS BECOME OUR WISDOM



But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God — and righteousness and sanctification and redemption — that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.” (1Corinthians 1:30-31, NKJV).



If Jesus is in you, wisdom is in you. Determine to walk in the spirit and revelation of the wisdom of God. 



RECEIVE JESUS. RECEIVE WISDOM



But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, to those who believe in His name: (John 1:12, NKJV).



“All that the Father gives Me will come to Me, and the one who comes to Me I will by no means cast out. (John 6:37, NKJV).

Reading: 1 Kings 3:3-15



Give therefore thy servant an understanding heart to judge thy people, that I may discern between good and bad: for who is able to judge this thy so great a people? And the speech pleased the Lord, that Solomon had asked this thing. And God said unto him, Because thou hast asked this thing, and hast not asked for thyself long life; neither hast asked riches for thyself, nor hast asked the life of thine enemies; but hast asked for thyself understanding to discern judgment; Behold, I have done according to thy words: lo, I have given thee a wise and an understanding heart; so that there was none like thee before thee, neither after thee shall any arise like unto thee.

Riches and honour are with me; yea, durable riches and righteousness. My fruit is better than gold, yea, than fine gold; and my revenue than choice silver.
