Who will believe our report? Listen to the heart of the Lord as He tries to comfort His beloved followers in their dark season. How many times have you refused to hear the wonderful whispers of the comfort of the Holy Spirit when the Lord is trying to send you a message? Yesterday, today, and tomorrow, Jesus is alive and full of resurrection power seated at the right hand of His Father God Almighty. Rejoice! He is both Victor and Overcomer and is now ready to reign from Heaven through the human vessels of believing mankind.

Dive into the culmination of events that has led us to this crucial point. Christ our Messiah has walked as a lamb to the slaughter, a sheep amongst wolves, all for our sakes and for our sins. His innocent blood calls forth in mediation for God our Father's grace to provide mercy for those who come to Jesus and accept Him as our needed sacrifice, knowing His pure righteous blood and life can redeem our life from the natural wages of sin that await us. Death and "dis-ease" now transformed into life and love eternal with our Father God, our Saviour Jesus the Christ, and the blessed Holy Spirit! His fulfilling life gift of "atone-ment" now reunites us to be "at one" in peace and unity with the Trinity again .

Hear the call of the Lord upon your heart to surrender to the Holy Spirit for the strength to face the suffering and challenges of persecution for the faith that lays ahead. We must not sleep as the world does. Instead, be willing to wake up to the often-shocking truth so you may walk as children of light and not stumble in the darkness we now find ourselves in. The spirit is willing but our flesh is weak. Christ is our Great Overcomer! Join with Him in faith and trust Jesus to guide you through your dark valley into His glorious light of redemption and salvation. His love conquers all and His forgiveness is close at hand. Repent and confess your sin so He may cover it with the blood of His atonement and cleanse you for eternity.

The time has come to take the emotional journey with Christ as He walks towards the cross and all the suffering it entails. His role as our necessary atonement, sacrificing His own body and blood for the redemption of mankind, is vital. He is our only hope and makes a spiritual way for us to be restored with God our Father. Examine your heart to see who you are most like in this chapter thus far: Mary who spiritually understood and thus anointed Jesus for burial?...Judas who was deceived and lost, secretly arranging a betrayal appointment?...or Peter who was convinced he had the faith to face any challenge sent his direction?

Take heed to Jesus' words as He warns us about the importance, during the present end times of increasing darkness, not to be deceived nor lose hope. His words will remain forever within our hearts and minds. Jesus is the Saviour of the spiritual elect, the vulnerable in society, and of the innocent children that are under the age of accountability. God will protect His own, at all cost. Be alert, lively and watchful at every "changing of the guards", for you know not when your Messiah cometh to take you safely home. Love your enemies and pray for them. Feed His future sheep by offering sustenance to those who are spiritually starving, as they start to awaken to Christ.  

As a human we must guard against our flesh rising up against the Lord in spiritual matters, trying to control the gospel message of salvation to profit ourselves in piety and riches, while oppressing both the poor in spirit and the needy "widows and orphans" that He so deeply wants to reach. Do not be a roadblock or a stumbling block to the thirsty in spirit! His heart searches the minds and hearts of mankind to know the truth of what they follow and whom they serve. The so-called truth that we live by will either save or judge us someday, as we face Jesus our Messiah and God our Father on Their thrones in eternity. Beware that you are also "not far from the kingdom" but never actually find it. Keep on searching and seeking for the Lord until He is found! Your eternity depends on it!

Prepare for the return of the Lord of the harvest! Seek Him diligently and His truth over the interpretations and creeds of man. Trust in His word and His promises. He is coming to prune his vineyard and restore truth and unity as He cleanses His church. We must have faith and truly have a heart for Him to be baptized by authority and power from God. We must become fruit bearers in His kingdom.

Blindness comes in many forms. In this second part of the chapter, you will see: the "Holy Spirit sent" blindness of the disciples as Jesus tries to explain to them about His coming arrest, suffering, death and resurrection, the ignorant blindness of James and John asking to sit on Christ's right and left in eternity not knowing what it would cost them, and the physical blindness of Bartimaeus who spiritually heard the call of the Holy Spirit's offer to act in faith and come unto Jesus who could restore his sight and change his life forever. Pray to God to show you where you may still be blind and beg the Lord for mercy to restore your sight so you may glorify Him every day onward.

Only God can bring the reconciliation between a husband and a wife when their hard hearts are humbled by the Holy Spirit and they are willing to hear the truth and repent. Surrender your marriage to the Lord who is the designer of marriage. He alone knows how to do the impossible to repair and heal a deep intimate wound, or to choose to rescue one spouse out of the injustice He is witness to. Refuse to allow the enemy to divide you. Instead, allow the Holy Spirit to teach you how to have a submissive childlike heart unto each other and unto the Lord. Give up self-importance and allowing the distractions of the world's riches to seduce your heart from the Lord. Your relationship with Him must come first. All else will fall into place.

What a great chapter with much insight into the inner arguments we sometimes have about our spiritual "greatness" and abilities we think we have, until we are put to the test and truly see that we were born into a lost and fallen state. We each must spiritually awaken to realize God is our Father, Creator, ruler and refiner, yielding to Him, Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, to become spiritually transformed  and closely abide in His love. As we diligently seek Him and His will,  giving ourselves to prayer and fasting, we become humbled, obedient and willing to act in His power to love and serve others as both an extension of His body and as the salt of the earth. Become as a child and do not stop them.

Do you struggle to let go of control in your life? Will you follow the path of the Saviour by laying your life down on earth so you may gain an eternal reward that lasts forever? When the Lord examines your heart, does He see someone ashamed to speak of their relationship with Him or a completely surrendered and malleable soul who loves Him reciprocally? Don't hold on tightly to what will someday be destroyed. Seek Him with your whole heart. Invest time and opportunities in your spiritual life by obeying the Holy Spirit's promptings so you may grow closer to Christ, as He intimately shares His insight and teachings with you within your heart. 

Jesus warns us that the truth is we are often defiled within our spiritual heart yet live hypocritically as "righteous" outwardly for all the world to see. He needs us to choose to come to Him and acknowledge our need for His power to set us free from the demonic control over how we think, act, hear and speak. Be as bold and courageous as the Gentile woman who diligently sought Christ and begged Him for mercy for her daughter. Acting in obedience to the whisper of faith within her and speaking to Christ to get to "know" Him, she received the answer to her heart's desire for her daughter. Will you also seek Him while He may be found? 

What areas of unbelief or hard-heartedness do you still struggle with in trusting the Lord? Listen to some heart lessons learned from the parable of the horse whisper, as you join us in our study today. Discover the wonder and amazement of Christ's miracles and abilities as the great I Am, as He provides for the needs of His followers. Pray for whatever He needs to do in your life to create within you a humble and ready heart, one free from fears and trepidation. Remember always: The greatest miracle is the gift of eternal salvation and a true spiritual rebirth conversion by the living, present indwelling of the Holy Spirit within you. 

Jesus Christ has come to set us free from the secret tactics of the devil and his demons as they try to create havoc and destruction in our lives. Grab hold in passionate faith to the merciful hand of Christ outstretched to you. Make an agreement with Him that you believe the Holy Spirit prompts of faith within your heart that nothing in this world is impossible, nor a person too far gone, for God and Jesus to heal, restore, resurrect and to save. Greater is He (God, Jesus & the Holy Spirit) that is in you than he (the devil & any demonic influence) that is in the world.

The Lord Jesus is such a patient teacher. Listen to the many ways He tries to educate His disciples, and all who will listen with "spiritual ears to hear", the hidden meaning of His wonderful life principles and of the mystery of His life being sown so others may live. The closer we will listen to the Holy Spirit, the more we will reap, benefit, and grow. Allow the Spirit of Christ to transform your faith from that of a tiny mustard seed into a large living presence of Him in your life. Take the mental leap from knowing Jesus as only a man to understanding His Divine power to intervene in the storms of your life, caring and protecting you in spiritual battle.

Join us in a discussion of the spiritual battle that we undergo as believers, pre-believers and non-believers. Celebrate the victory that comes through Jesus Christ, who also faced the opposition and knew how to conquer successfully every time. His sacrifice and death has bound up the demonic "strongman" Satan, destroying the enemy's plans to keep us away from truly knowing victory in Christ, that can only come through being spiritually and intimately connected to Jesus and His power that can work through us. Repentance and humility are key, as well as, surrender and full commitment to Christ. The Holy Spirit will lead us into all truth.

Let the Lord help you understand in a deeper way how He came to fulfill and complete the requirements of the law and to offer His healing and grace to all who hear the calling of the Holy Spirit inviting them to come to the true Physician of their souls and bodies. Open your hearts to receive the abundance of joyful blessings that pour forth in His new wine, being ready to expand your personal knowledge of Him in various ways. See how He can rewrite your future, offering you a second chance with excitement, as you both await your wedding day of true spiritual oneness in eternity forever.

Jesus begins to openly deliver and heal people, as proof of His divinity and purpose in descending to earth from heaven, fulfilling the prophetic message of Isaiah 61:1-3 to set the captives free and comfort all who mourn. His heart moves with compassion for us as God the Father draws us to His Son to begin a lifelong journey of discovery of real truth, all types of healing, heart fulfillment and the necessary personal relationship of oneness we need to receive eternal life.

Come follow Jesus Christ on this journey through the gospel of Mark as He extends His invitation to you to seek for Him with all your heart, mind, soul and strength. Persevere with Him until your appointed time to receive the baptism of the Holy Spirit from God in heaven above. Be willing to surrender all so you may receive spiritually in greater measure in return. The time of the revelation of the Messiah has come!

Hear the Holy Spirit's call upon your heart to forgive those who have hurt you, and be reconciled in your fellowship as brothers or sisters in Christ Jesus, your Lord and Saviour. He suffered once for your sins so that you may also extend that forgiveness forward to those who have wronged you. Be on guard against the devil who roams about like a lion seeking to destroy, or roadblock, your faith and block the refreshing waters of the Spirit of Christ, that encourage you from within your heart and mind on your journey. Endure to the end and you shall be saved.
