Earthen Vessels

By Christina

imageI loved having the opportunity to hear two dynamic messages yesterday. We can preach certainly, but to sit and hear other vessels like this… is simply amazing! Powerful! Impacting!

Iron sharpens iron again.
This message is by Senior Pastor Abbelane Rivera; Emmanuel International Ministries.
Hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

This servant shares:

You have to understand your design.

“But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellence of the power may be of God and not of us.”
‭‭II Corinthians‬ ‭4:7‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

A lot of times we see only see the vessel and what we don’t see is the Architect.

The Architect sees the building that is happening. We see the rocks and the rubble. Here God makes a design of that vessel. We will say that the Architect is Jesus Christ. Continue reading

Hope With Spiritual Shepherds

By Christina

image“And I will give you [spiritual] shepherds after My own heart [in the final time], who will feed you with knowledge and understanding and judgment.”
Jeremiah‬ ‭3:15‬ ‭AMP‬‬

“O Israel,” says the LORD, “if you wanted to return to me, you could. You could throw away your detestable idols and stray away no more. Then when you swear by my name, saying, ‘As surely as the LORD lives,’ you could do so with truth, justice, and righteousness. Then you would be a blessing to the nations of the world, and all people would come and praise my name.””
‭‭Jeremiah‬ ‭4:1-2‬ ‭NLT‬‬

The first two chapters of Jeremiah represent an appointment to the office gift of the prophet and the need to address the secular shepherds. These next two chapters speak about the redemption plan of God. When we fall, stray or miss the mark, trust that there can always be good spiritual guidance to help you move forward in a renewed life.

God has such a love for Israel. He has a love for us.

Christ is revealed! ❤️ Continue reading

The Young One

By Christina

Maybe it’s just another hurdle.
Another obstacle.
Another place right where there are internal challenges and opposition.
Those places, why can’t we just escape?

I’m sure Jeremiah asked that question plenty of times. The weeping prophet had so much to say. He never held it back.
You got to love Jeremiah, for there is one in us all. One that is more than familiar with those difficult places.

In the lack; insecure places.
Desolate places.
Lost and lonely places.
Problem places.
Chaotic and confusing places.

That is precisely where God calls us. Continue reading
