Take ye away the stone





John 11:39 ------- Take ye away the stone.

When Jesus Christ wanted to raise Lazarus from the dead to fulfill the Will of the Father, first something had to be done. The stone had to be rolled away.

The stone being rolled away represents a breakthrough. It represents a door being opened so someone can walk through. It represents a stronghold being torn down.

AFTER they did what Jesus told them to do, AFTER they obeyed. After they listened and heard what Jesus said. AFTER they performed A WORK at the commandment of God. Their brother was raised from the dead.

So After we roll away the stones in our lives He will work, that is why WE have to do works.

Jas 2:20
But wilt thou know, O vain man, that FAITH WITHOUT WORKS IS DEAD?

Heb 11:6
But WITHOUT FAITH IT IS IMPOSSIBLE TO PLEASE him: for he that cometh TO GOD must believe that he IS, and that he IS a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.

Friends do all that you can do then HE will do what you can't do.

BLESSING OF THE DAY

may you continue to push against the stones in your life that keep Jesus out. May you find strength to move mountains. May you BELIEVE that all things are possible.

HIS Friend and Yours
