The life that you live, if you build it on sand you will never be able to withstand the pressures of a storm. But if you build your house on solid rock, you can go through any storm and you’re going to make it. Jesus is your only foundation that will keep you from going down when the storm comes.

Many times, we as Gods people, wonder why we have to go through certain trials and tests. But God has a purpose in everything that we go through. You can be confident that neither incident, nor accident, nor coincidence can alter God’s will and purpose in your life. There are three things that are very important for you to realize when you are going through a test.

The woman with the demon possessed daughter, a well known story out of Matthew 15. Why did Jesus respond this way? What is our attitude to a heaven that seems made of brass? This story is here for you and this message will encourage you.

To give us eternal life, Jesus, the Son of God, had to die on the cross of Calvary. The birth, the death and the resurrection of Jesus the Messiah is the gospel message for your life. And the answer to the troubled world around us is Jesus.

God had well prepared that day that He sent His Son into the world. This message shows us Mary's response: she didn't reason with her mind, but she believed with her heart. What happens to us when we respond to His presence and promises in faith? Just like Mary, we can be a vessel, a carrier of the glory of the Lord.

Can you imagine being one of those shepherds in the field? Do you embrace God's Word in your heart and find it to be as He told it to be? The shepherds beheld the Shekinah glory of the Lord and after they saw Him, they couldn't keep their mouth about it. We can also behold the Savior today, with all His glorious aspects!

Let's reflect on the story of a brother of ours: Simeon. The Bible gives us a revelation about him that is very useful for our own life.

There are only a few verses about Anna, but they reveal so much. They confirm that the fulfillment of the promise has come. Those that are looking and waiting for the salvation of the Lord, they are the ones that will also see it and receive Him. Today you can be the one to receive the blessings and promises of the Lord, just like Anna.

The Lord showers us with good things. Jesus Christ is the source of all these good things. God’s wonderful blessings flow through the cross of Jesus Christ and living for Jesus is the greatest blessing that any person can ever receive. Surrender your life to the cross and to the Kingdom of God and it will bring forth dividend forever.

Maybe there is some area in your life that has lost its power, just like the lame man through the roof who lost all power in his legs. There was no way for the lame man to get to Jesus, but he had friends that lowered him down through the roof. The miracle of salvation preceded the miracle of healing from disease. Stay tuned for a powerful prayer at the end of this message.
