Many have asked the question about what’s Jesus’ place is in the past, the present, and the future. Thankfully, Jesus didn’t leave the truth of His existence and His nature shrouded in mystery. Jesus was, Jesus is, and Jesus is to come.

They only saw His past, not His power. And many of us do the same. We stay stuck in labels, caught in former seasons, blind to the fire God placed within us. But Jesus came with an anointing—divine empowerment for a divine assignment—and He didn’t just come to forgive your sin, He came to destroy the works of the Devil.

Famine? The account of Joseph’s life in Genesis gives us the blueprint for how to navigate the highs and lows of life while continually moving forward. Joseph refused to look to the past and what had been, keeping his eyes on God and using his gifts in EVERY circumstance to bring glory to Him.

Jesus was not just a man, not just a prophet, but the eternal, uncreated Son of God! The power of the gospel is in the revelation of who Jesus really is: the image of the invisible God!

Passion without transformation leads to dysfunction. John was called the apostle of love, but he didn’t start out that way — Jesus called him and James the sons of thunder because their passion was misdirected! John allowed Jesus to soften him and didn’t allow who he used to be to define him. What are you letting control your identity?

This spirit is seductive and active right now, pulling people away from their first love of Christ. There is a rebellion against the authority of God’s Word. There is a consequence for lawlessness and sin. Full obedience to the Word is a requirement, partial obedience is disobedience and will lead us to a path of deception.

The enemy loves nothing more than to give you things that look and sound true, but Jesus says, “I am THE way, THE truth, and THE life!” In our world, truth has become a feeling, or an ideology, or a perception; it’s no longer looked at as an absolute. The majority will tell you that the truth is inclusive and tolerant, or that you can have YOUR truth and I can have MY truth.

Just because people sit in church and hear the gospel doesn’t mean change will take place! The parable of the sower shows us that not only were hearts created by God to bring forth fruit when God’s Word is planted in it, but that not all hearts can be receptive to the truth!

When you want to do your own thing instead of God’s thing, it eventually will bring a great famine to every area of your life. The prodigal son didn’t ask for his inheritance to have a higher standard of living — he was born into the money, he already had servants, he already lived in a palace!

So many things are promised to us in the Word, and there is a choice on our part attached to every one of those promises.
