Giving Praise to Jesus Christ by Rodney Howard Browne

July 31st, 2009

Rodney Howard Brown shows us the world

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us to read the Bible. God has guaranteed a special blessing to those that read His book of prediction, Revelation. However, this is going to be one of the least read books in the Bible. Many folks are threatened by its tricky images or by the judgments recorded in Revelation. They don’t understand the book is also worshipful and celebratory.

Pastor Rodney Howard Browne points us to Psalm and Revelation. The books of Psalm and Revelation are maybe the 2 most praise-filled books in the Bible. The 5th chapter of Revelation records one of the strongest worship experiences that ever will happen. True worship honors God, and it’s not based mostly on emotion or feeling. The main incentives for our praising and adoring God are who He is, what he’s done, and what he’s going to do.

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us to seek Christ. This has nothing to do with pursuit of a non secular high; in truth, such a pursuit takes one’s focus away from God. Always confirm your worship is targeted on Christ as you praise and love only Him. This quite naturally can bring some fitting emotion. Yet we should worship God without greedy motives, without looking to be spotted or considered “super-spiritual.” We should worship Him because we recognize His worthiness to get praise. It also honors God when we inspect the worshipful passages of Revelation and try to commit them to memory. Then we’ll already have a head start by knowing the words.

The Lord’s Immovable Truths by Rodney Howard Browne

July 24th, 2009

Rodney Howard Browne shows us a bible

Rodney Howard Browne teaches us of the Lord’s immovable truths. TV reports is commonly stuffed with interviews and photos of people that have suffered some unthinkable crisis. One day we see tornado survivors, whose houses were torn to shreds by winds. Another day we may see massive floods sweeping thru a trusting neighborhood. Sometimes, we even see houses that are swallowed full by the earth in awful tremors.

The expressions on the faces of people who have suffered loss can be haunting. Rodney Howard Browne explains that these losses always draw our attention toward the fragility of those things we regularly hold most dear, our houses, families, and careers, as an example.

We infrequently like these “wake-up calls” that remind us of the basic instability of earthly life. Pastor Rodney Howard Browne points out that in a world that is shaking apart, followers in Christ Jesus have the concession of sharing the top news possible: there is a thing that is stable, something that is absolutely secure. There’s a rock on which we will stand, and it may not be shaken. That unshakable foundation, naturally, is almighty God.

The Lord gives us other immovable truths too. We will be able to trust that His Word is His unwavering, always-relevant truth forever. We are able to rely on a safe relationship with Him for all perpetuity thru His Son. And we can be certain a heavenly home awaits all those that place their religion in Christ. We may have stability, even in this unstable world. Who in your life desires this life-saving news? Who is drowning around you, desperately needing you to throw a lifeline? Don’t wait; do it today.

For Those in Pain by Rodney Howard Browne

July 17th, 2009

Rodney Howard Browne shows us a dove

Rodney Howard Browne suggests this for those in pain. One of the most important reasons we infrequently have a weak religion is our faulty view of God. Of course, he is so enormous, how could we ever actually get a correct portrait of what he appears to be, how He acts, and how He feels about us personally? Let’s think about what Jesus expounded.

He let us know that if we would like to know what God the Father is like, we must look toward the Son. The Savior expounded, “He who saw Me saw the Father” (John 14:9). Rodney Howard Browne explains that we will be able to know the Father because we are able to know Jesus. And when we have a look at the way Jesus treated the people around Him, we get a good picture of God’s love.

Consider the girl at the well in today’s Scripture passage. This was a lady who had been outcast by society. Pastor Rodney Howard Browne points out that the incontrovertible fact that she came to the well at that particular time of day – a time when no-one else was around – shows that her exclusion from the townspeople wasn’t just their idea ; she herself felt the necessity to stay isolated. But what did Jesus do? He loved her. He accepted her. He gave her what no-one else would give: respect and attention. That’s what He does for us as well. God doesn’t want us weighed down by guilt, shame, and heart-ache.

Nor does He would like us to be isolated from people. Instead, He calls us to be an active partaker in His dominion. Have you cut yourself off from those around you? Take hold of your Savior’s hand today, and experience the enjoyment of His acceptance.

Sudden Death by Rodney Howard Browne

July 10th, 2009

Rodney Howard Browne shows us a landscape

Rodney Howard Browne asks us, if you had some hours to live, and if you weren’t a follower in Jesus Christ, where would you look to find comfort or hope? Each day, many of us face death, but unfortunately, lots of them don’t know Jesus as Lord. However, some people, in a last act of religious acuity, accept Christ on their deathbed.

You can disagree, but they cannot truly be Christians then, can they? Rodney Howard Browne explains that they sinned their complete lives and accepted Jesus just because they were frightened of dying. They do not get the same reward that I am going to get, do they? Well, think about the repentant burglar on the cross next to Jesus. Scripture is clear this was a vicious, violent, guilty criminal. There is not even a pointer that he was wrongfully charged.

He was attempted, convicted, and handed death by the most evil means possible. Certainly, he wasn’t an individual we’d consider a good guy. But as he hung on his cross, something stirred inside him. The Spirit started to work in his heart, and in the moments before his demise, he was for the first time made alive in his spirit. He accepted Jesus, and Jesus accepted him.

You see, Rodney Howard Browne says, the great deliverance that is ours in Christ is one hundred percent reliant on what Jesus did for us. This implies that there’s nothing you or I could ever do to warrant it. When we realize that His love is open to all folk, even to those we despise the most, we will really give Him all of the glory for the great things he’s done.

The Attacks of the Devil by Rodney Howard Browne

July 1st, 2009

Rodney Howard Browne shows us a cave of ice

Rodney Howard Browne explains that the arsenal God has given makes it possible for us to stand up to the attacks of Devil and to break any strongholds he has established in our minds. One of the strongest weapons is prayer. It needn’t be eloquent ; it could be a simple, truthful prayer like this : “God, here’s a weakness in my life which has a stranglehold over me. I have permitted Devil to toy with my mind. He has me in bondage and, God, I am helpless to change it. I am crying out to You in earnest repentance.

I regret the agony and hurt that I have caused others. I lament the hours I have wasted living alongside this. I surrender myself to You. Set me free from this stronghold, Lord. By the power of Your Spirit, please set me free.” God will not refuse this sort of prayer ; he is going to provide deliverance. It is thru our sincere prayers that we draw on the power of God to fight the Demon’s lies and to decline to enticements. However, Rodney Howard Browne explains that the incontrovertible fact that we pray does not mean that Satan will let up on us. No, he’s going to keep firing his flaming arrows against our weaknesses.

We extinguish every one the same way. In prayer, Rodney Howard Browne teaches that we cry out to our sovereign God for forgiveness and draw on His power, which enables us to stand firm on the truth of Scripture. For many of us, deliverance is immediate ; for others, it is gentle. Either way, we will achieve liberty. If we hold to the truth, Jesus guaranteed we might be free.
