9-28-25//EXPECT IT FROM HIM, SINCE HE IS ABLE TO GIVE IT

Ps 121:1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come?

2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Who helps his people out of the hands of all their enemies, and out of all their troubles and afflictions; he helps them in the performance of duty, in the exercise of grace, in bearing the cross, in fighting the Lord's battles, and on in their journey; he helps them to all blessings, temporal and spiritual; to all needful supplies of grace here, and glory hereafter; and this help he gives is quick and present, suitable and seasonable, is sufficient, and sometimes with, and sometimes without means; and they have great encouragement to expect it from him, since he is able to give it, (from John Gill's Exposition of the Old and New Testaments)

What to Expect from God:

 His Constant Presence and Love:

    You can expect God to be with you always and to love you unconditionally, never separating you from Him.

   Deut 31:6 Be strong and courageous, bdo not be afraid or tremble at them, for cthe Lord  your God is the one who goes with you. dHe will not fail you or forsake you."

His Guidance and Strength:

He provides the strength to endure challenges and guides you through life's journey.

 Ps 32:8 I will instruct you and teach you in the way which you should go;

I will counsel you with My eye upon you.

 Ps 119:105 Your word is a lamp to my feet And a light to my path.

 Eph 6:10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of His might.

Luke 18:35-43

Bartimaeus Receives Sight

35 As [a]Jesus was approaching Jericho, a blind man was sitting by the road begging. 36 Now hearing a crowd going by, he began to inquire what this was. 37 They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. 38 And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” 39 Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” 40 And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He questioned him, 41 “What do you want Me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, I want to regain my sight!” 42 And Jesus said to him, “[b]Receive your sight; your faith has [c]made you well.” 43 Immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God.

Luke 10:38-42

Martha and Mary

38 Now as they were traveling along, He entered a village; and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. 39 She had a sister called Mary, who was seated at the Lord’s feet, listening to His word. 40 But Martha was distracted with [a]all her preparations; and she came up to Himand said, “Lord, do You not care that my sister has left me to do all the serving alone? Then tell her to help me.” 41 But the Lord answered and said to her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and bothered about so many things; 42 but only one thing is necessary, for Mary has chosen the good part, which shall not be taken away from her.”

Luke 23:39-43

39 One of the criminals who were hanged there was [a]hurling abuse at Him, saying, “Are You not the [b]Christ? Save Yourself and us!” 40 But the other answered, and rebuking him said, “Do you not even fear God, since you are under the same sentence of condemnation? 41 And we indeed are sufferingjustly, for we are receiving [c]what we deserve for our deeds; but this man has done nothing wrong.” 42 And he was saying, “Jesus, remember me when You come [d]in Your kingdom!” 43 And He said to him, “Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise.”

THEME: MY HELP COMES FROM THE LORD

 Ps 121:1 I will lift up my eyes to the mountains; From where shall my help come?

2 My help comes from the Lord, Who made heaven and earth.

Who helps his people out of the hands of all their enemies, and out of all their troubles and afflictions; he helps them in the performance of duty, in the exercise of grace, in bearing the cross, in fighting the Lord's battles, and on in their journey; he helps them to all blessings, temporal and spiritual; to all needful supplies of grace here, and glory hereafter; and this help he gives is quick and present, suitable and seasonable, is sufficient, and sometimes with, and sometimes without means; and they have great encouragement to expect it from him…from John Gill's Exposition of the Old and New Testaments

Isa 41:10,13 'Do not fear, for I am with you;

Do not anxiously look about you, for I am your God.

I will strengthen you, surely I will help you,

Surely I will uphold you with My righteous right hand.'

13 "For I am the Lord your God, who upholds your right hand,

Who says to you, 'Do not fear, I will help you.'

Ps 34:4-8 I sought the Lord, and He answered me, And delivered me from all my fears.

5 They looked to Him and were radiant, And their faces will never be ashamed.

6 This poor man cried, and the Lord heard him And saved him out of all his troubles.

7 The angel of the Lord encamps around those who fear Him, And rescues them.

8 O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!

7 "Only be strong and very courageous; 

Josh 1:1-9

Ps 94:17-19

Rev 21:1-4 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them, 4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."

I will be exalted in the earth! NKJV

8-31-25// SOMETIMES WITH, AND SOMETIMES WITHOUT MEANS

SOMETIMES WITH, AND SOMETIMES WITHOUT MEANS

 The idea of God working "sometimes with, and sometimes without means" is a theological concept that addresses how divine providence and miracles interact with the natural world. "Means" refers to the natural tools, agents, or processes God uses to bring about his will. "Without means" refers to extraordinary, miraculous events where God acts directly, bypassing natural law. 

Here are scriptures and biblical themes that explore both methods.

God working with means

·       Human agency and labor: The book of Ecclesiastes describes how people work and toil, but that without God, their labor is meaningless. This implies that when people work with God, their labor has purpose.

·       The wisdom of Solomon: King Solomon, the wisest man in the Bible, received his wisdom directly from God. He then applied this wisdom to govern Israel, build the Temple, and write books like Proverbs and Ecclesiastes, all of which became means for God to instruct his people.

·       Paul's mission: The apostle Paul's evangelism is a prime example of God working through human means. Though his ministry was filled with supernatural events, it relied heavily on Paul's tireless labor, sleepless nights, and physical hardships.

2 Cor 11:23-29 Are they servants of Christ? — I speak as if insane — I more so; in far more labors, in far more imprisonments, beaten times without number, often in danger of death. 24 Five times I received from the Jews thirty-nine lashes.  25 Three times I was beaten with rods, once I was stoned, three times I was shipwrecked, a night and a day I have spent in the deep. 26 I have been on frequent journeys, in dangers from rivers, dangers from robbers, dangers from my countrymen, dangers from the Gentiles, dangers in the city, dangers in the wilderness, dangers on the sea, dangers among false brethren; 27 I have been in labor and hardship, through many sleepless nights, in hunger and thirst, often without food, in cold and exposure. 28 Apart from such external things, there is the daily pressure on me of concern for all the churches. 29 Who is weak without my being weak? Who is led into sin without my intense concern?

·       Medical healing: The Book of James encourages the use of anointing oil for the sick, along with prayer. While the healing is ultimately from God, the anointing with oil is a tangible, physical means. 

James 5:14-15 Is anyone among you sick?

God working without means

Miracles and supernatural interventions are times when God chooses to act directly, outside of or in defiance of the natural order.

·       The creation of the universe: In John 1:3, the scripture states that "Through him all things were made, and without him nothing was made that has been made." This verse highlights God's power to create everything from nothing—an ultimate act without means.

·       Jesus's miracles: The Gospels are filled with instances of Jesus acting without means.

o   Feeding the multitude: The miracle of feeding thousands of people with only a few loaves and fish was an act that defied the natural limitations of food supply (Matthew 14:13–21).

o   Raising the dead: When Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead, he demonstrated a power over life and death that is beyond human or natural means (John 11:38–44).

Calming the storm:Jesus calmed a raging storm with a single command, an act of supernatural control over the natural world (Mark 4:35–41).
