“Jesus said to them, ‘If God were your Father, you would love me, for I have come here from God. I have not come on my own; God sent me. Why is my language not clear to you? Because you are unable to hear what I say. You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father’s desires. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him. When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies. Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don’t you believe me? Whoever belongs to God hears what God says. The reason you do not hear is that you do not belong to God.’” (John 8:42-47 NIV) Trust that we receive the true intel. In Psalm 50:3-6 (NASB) it says, “May our God come and not keep silence; fire devours before Him, and it is very tempestuous around Him. He summons the heavens above, and the earth, to judge His people: ‘Gather My godly ones to Me, those who have made a covenant with Me by sacrifice.’ And the heavens declare His righteousness, for God Himself is judge. Selah.” Read His words. Let Jesus into your heart so you may know what He has for you to do. We must know and identify whom we are up against. The Lord tells us clearly who the enemy is and how he operates. Jesus is preparing God’s army. (Listen to entire sermon below.)

Ephesians 2:10 tells us, For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them. But without Jesus, we’re broken…so how can we do any of the good works He wants us to do? Well, it’s hammer time! This is the picture. Because of Adam’s sin and separation from God, all of the offspring after him are born broken and not in the perfection God first created. Because of that brokenness, we cannot function to the highest levels He intended and we always fall short. God is not angry at you because you fumble bumble around…He even sent Jesus to “fix” you. If you could picture this…
Now I know Jesus didn’t use these teaching examples but, as a visual, it is pretty vivid a picture. In “Godspeak,” the hammer idea goes like this… 2 Corinthians 5:21, He made Him who knew no sin to be sin on our behalf, that we might become the righteousness of God in Him. John 15:4, Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you, unless you abide in Me. 1 John 5:12, He who has the Son, has the life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have the life. Your life, your strength, your abilities and your final eternity are all in Jesus Christ. He won’t “hammer” it in to you but you can go to Him and He will make it so you are changed forever. Ref.: John 15:4; Ezekiel 36:26-27; 2 Corinthians 5:17; 2 Corinthians 5:1; John 1:4; John 14:6 Now – go tell others the good news…your hammer got fixed! (Listen to entire sermon below.)
