Words of Life|Pastor Balan Swaminathan|HIPM

God has already given you healing, already took you out of the debt condition, already blessed your family, already given you a job or better job.  If you are not able to experience that blessings in your life, there must be a stone right at the entrance where the blessing will flow from.  God is asking you to take away the stone.

Christ in us gives access to the riches of heaven.  That means richness of heaven cannot be obtained without Christ.  When we give to God, Christ blesses you from the heavenly riches.  We find blessing in Christ Jesus.

People may reject you, but God considers you as precious.   People around you may not want you, but God wants you.   Today if you say that I don't have anyone to care for you, I am here to introduce Jesus to you.  You can have Him as your best friend.

All that Peter used to perform this miracle was the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth.  There is power in the name of Jesus.  Power to save and power to heal.

Four truths about prayer that we learned.

1. Our fake spiritual appearance has to wither away - people want to see fruit in us

We need to believe for our prayers to be answered - have faith in God and believe that He can do it for you. 

Mary's question:  How can this be? Mary was thinking in the natural, it is impossible in a natural sense.  Many of us are worried about "How can this be".  God is telling you it will be alright when what happened to Mary happens to you.

Jeremiah 29:11 For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  God is telling I have a plan for your future.  His plan doesn't stop in this world, He has already planned about our eternity.

Today, God wants to give you that prosperity, hope and future.  Are you desperate for something at this moment?  God can do it for you, because He has a plan about you. You need to come to Him and find out what is His plan concerning you.

Many times when we go through difficult situations, we feel that the little strength that we have is lost. We feel powerless on many occasions. 

Listen to the sermon to find out the reason why we feel strength-less and find a way on how we can find strength during such situations. 

We hear the word "Missionary" in our lives. Who is a missionary? They're the ones who are sent into the World to share the Gospel. Missionaries are the ones who are called by God to fulfill a vision. They carry a burden for the souls and proclaim the love of God. 

Who are these God's Missionaries that are sent into the world? Listen to the sermon to find out. 

This world is a temporary workstation where the dross out of us is removed.  This world is a crafts man's work bench to chip and chisel the junk out of us. We are just work in progress until we live to be made a masterpiece of His own image.
