Power Of Making Room

Key Scripture:  "Did I not tell you that if you would believe you would see the glory of God."  John 11:40

Power Point:

     Do you have a situation in your life-perhaps a financial issue, a relationship, a dream that has died with no hope of being resurrected?  The medical report says "NO."  The financial report says, "Absolutely not!".  That marriage, that friendship is a very noisy "NO! No more!".  The situation seems deader than dead.  Beyond repair. Beyond redemption.  No hope. No way. No how.

Until Jesus comes by.

     You may remember the Bible story of the young girl who had died.  When Jesus came into the house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, He said to them, "Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping." And they ridiculed Him." Jesus put the noisy, wailing mourners out of the house. He went in and took the girl by the hand, and she arose.  Jesus came by.

     And of course all of us remember the story of Lazarus, the friend of Jesus who died.  Again, Jesus identifies Lazarus as "sleeping".  Again the mourners are wailing, and everyone is confused.  Lazarus has, after all, been dead for four days. But then Jesus comes by.  You know the rest of the story. 

     Beloved, Jesus doesn't just bring dead people to life, He brings everything in our lives to life.

The word for "salvation" or "Savior" are very similar.  They mean soundness,  prosperity,  and rescue. The word "SAVIOR" also includes the idea of a deliverer, or a benefactor. In other words, whatever part of your life needs rescuing,(to wake up) Jesus is ready to come by and help you with that. His plan is to make your life safe and sound.  His plan is to bring His goodness into every part of your life. There are no exceptions, no restrictions. Abundance is not limited to one area.  It's meant to flow from one area to all the other areas.

   Whatever is dead is not dead to Jesus.  It's simply sleeping until He comes by to wake it up.

If you have a lot of wailers and mourners in your life who are definitely sure that what is dead is dead, why not tell them as Jesus did, "Make room" and then make room for the Savior to wake the dead.

Power Thought:

When anything in our life seems deader than dead, make room for Jesus to come by.
