God: "I looked for someone to take a stand for me, and stand in the gap" (Ezekiel 22:30)

[In Ephesians 5] Paul was not suggesting that we can possess the Spirit in varying measures. The Holy Spirit is an indivisible person – one of the divine persons of the Trinity, which means that He Himself is God – and He either indwells a person or not. No one has the Spirit of God in partial measure. But to be “filled with the Spirit” is to be controlled by the Spirit. The contrast Paul made proves the point. To be drunk with wine is to have your faculties controlled by alcohol – to be so given over to its influence that the wine governs you in a negative way. To be filled with the Spirit is simply to be controlled by Him so that His power dominates you in a positive way.

John MacArthur

Scripture reveals six noteworthy characteristics of Jesus' healing ministry (in contrast to those who profess miraculous healings today): 1. Jesus healed with a word or a touch… There were no theatrics, no special environment. 2. Jesus healed instantly… People often say, 'I've been healed, and now I'm getting better.' Jesus never did 'progressive' healing. If Jesus had not healed instantly, there would have been no miraculous element sufficient to demonstrate His deity. His critics could easily have said the healing was just a natural process. 3. Jesus healed totally… There was no recuperation period. 4. Jesus healed everyone. Unlike healers today, Jesus did not leave long lines of disappointed people who had to return home in their wheelchairs. He did not leave healing services or programs that ended at a certain time because of airline or television schedules. 5. Jesus healed organic disease. Jesus did not go up and down Palestine healing lower back pain, heart palpitations, headaches, and other invisible ailments. He healed the most obvious kinds of organic disease – crippled legs, withered hands, bind eyes, palsy – all healings that were undeniably miraculous. 6. Jesus raised the dead… People who tout the gift of healing today do not spend much time in funeral parlors, funeral processions, or cemeteries.

Perspective Strategic occasion to sharpen our vision

Praise be to the gracious Almighty God for allowing us to enter in to another year. With all gratitude and humility we need to make use of this New Year He has
granted to us. (Luk.13:8) Never underestimate the gracious provisions of God. All the blessings come down from the Lord and that is for a definite purpose;- to love , respect and live for Him. A three fold vision will be of great help at this juncture.

The Lord calls us to recall the past blessings. Why? To be thankful, humble and wise. A sincere retrospection will break our heart with gratitude as well as penitence. That will help us to learn much and be more cautious & confident in the days ahead.<SPAN
style="mso-spacerun: yes"> Dt. 8:2, 16, 17

2. Look Ahead. Phil.3:14

Retrospection should not bind us to the past. Success or failure; dwelling on the past can never help us today. Look forward. Strive for excellence and consider any failure as a stepping stone to climb up! Life should continue as long as He allows. The best thing

There is uncertainty around us. The circumstances are not so favorable for the Lords People. Our hope and confidence is in the Lord. Looking to Him alone can strengthen our faith and confirm His path for us to tread. Pro. 4:25, 26 Isa.40:29-31

An upward vision will also reveal the glory of our blessed Lord. In the ever changing world He remains the unchanging Lord of Lords and the King of Kings. We can only fall prostrate before Him
at His greatnesses as John did. Rev. 1:17. But praise God, He will also touch us and encourage us with His still small voice; Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. I am He who live, and was dead, and behold I am alive forevermore. Rev.1:18a

Gods people may fall, but by His grace and power they can and will get up, learn from the experience, go on and triumph over their sinful patterns of life.

As you are traveling through time toward eternity, I would like to ask, Which class are you traveling ? There are only three: First class travelers are eternally saved from their sins, and know it. Second class travelers are not sure. Third class travelers are unsaved and dont care about there future.

A man came running through the airport just in time to catch his flight. Gasping for breath, he took his seat on the plane as the engines started. You just made it, said the passenger seated next flight is four hours from now. It was worth the run to save four hours.

I wonder if he s as concerned about eternity as he is about those four hours! Intelligent men and women all over the world today are carefully looking after their interests in this life but are blind to eternity. In spite of gods love for men, His hatred of sin, the brevity of life and the terror of judgment after death, men and women hurry on as if there were no god, no
sin, hell. If you are like this, I hope this booklet will open your eyes to the danger of your position. Dont travel through life third class!

But you may say, Its not that I
dont care about the welfare of my soul. Im just not sure. I guess youd call me a second class passenger, because Im uncertain.

Both indifference and uncertainty result from unbelief. Indifference comes from unbelief about sin and how it condemns man. Un certainty comes from unbelief about Gods plan to save man. The more you are concerned about your eternal future, the more unhappy you will be until you know for certain that you are eternally saved. For what will it profit a man: if he gains the whole world, and lose his own soul? (Mk.8:36).
