Jesus’s knowledge about you and His capability to turn the challenges to testimonies.

Jesus’s knowledge about you and His capability to turn the challenges to testimonies.

John  16:29 His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb.  16:30 Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God.  16:31 Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?  16:32 Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me.

During the earthly ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ,  His disciples were persuader about His uncommon knowledge .

Hebrews  4:13 Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight: but all things are naked and opened unto the eyes of him with whom we have to 

Even the blessed Holy Spirit affirms this to be so 

John  2:23 Now when he was in Jerusalem at the passover, in the feast day, many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did.  2:24 But Jesus did not commit himself unto them, because he knew all men,  2:25 And needed not that any should testify of man: for he knew what was in man.

John  21:17 He saith unto him the third time, Simon, son of Jonas, lovest thou me? Peter was grieved because he said unto him the third time, Lovest thou me? And he said unto him, Lord, thou knowest all things; thou knowest that I love thee. Jesus saith unto him, Feed my sheep.

The good news  is that, our Lord always uses the knowledge He knows about His flowers of all ages  to help them here and hereafter.

He will do same for you too in Jesus name.  Listen to this.

John  16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.  16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.  16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Examples of people helped by Jesus, because of His knowledge about them.

Nathaniel was helped and became one of the twelve disciples.

John  1:43 The day following Jesus would go forth into Galilee, and findeth Philip, and saith unto him, Follow me.  1:44 Now Philip was of Bethsaida, the city of Andrew and Peter.  1:45 Philip findeth Nathanael, and saith unto him, We have found him, of whom Moses in the law, and the prophets, did write, Jesus of Nazareth, the son of Joseph.  1:46 And Nathanael said unto him, Can there any good thing come out of Nazareth? Philip saith unto him, Come and see.  1:47 Jesus saw Nathanael coming to him, and saith of him, Behold an Israelite indeed, in whom is no guile!  1:48 Nathanael saith unto him, Whence knowest thou me? Jesus answered and said unto him, Before that Philip called thee, when thou wast under the fig tree, I saw thee.  1:49 Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God; thou art the King of Israel.  1:50 Jesus answered and said unto him, Because I said unto thee, I saw thee under the fig tree, believest thou? thou shalt see greater things than these.  1:51 And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

The Samaritan woman was helped to receive the Saviour of the world.

John  4:5 Then cometh he to a city of Samaria, which is called Sychar, near to the parcel of ground that Jacob gave to his son Joseph.  4:6 Now Jacob’s well was there. Jesus therefore, being wearied with his journey, sat thus on the well: and it was about the sixth hour.  4:7 There cometh a woman of Samaria to draw water: Jesus saith unto her, Give me to drink.  4:15 The woman saith unto him, Sir, give me this water, that I thirst not, neither come hither to draw.  4:16 Jesus saith unto her, Go, call thy husband, and come hither.  4:17 The woman answered and said, I have no husband. Jesus said unto her, Thou hast well said, I have no husband:  4:18 For thou hast had five husbands; and he whom thou now hast is not thy husband: in that saidst thou truly.  4:19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.

John  4:20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.  4:21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.  4:22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.  4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.  4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.  4:25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.  4:26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he.  4:28 The woman then left her waterpot, and went her way into the city, and saith to the men,  4:29 Come, see a man, which told me all things that ever I did: is not this the Christ?

Lazarus was raised from the dead.

John  11:1 Now a certain man was sick, named Lazarus, of Bethany, the town of Mary and her sister Martha.  11:2 (It was that Mary which anointed the Lord with ointment, and wiped his feet with her hair, whose brother Lazarus was sick.)  11:3 Therefore his sisters sent unto him, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick.  11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby.  11:5 Now Jesus loved Martha, and her sister, and Lazarus.  11:11 These things said he: and after that he saith unto them, Our friend Lazarus sleepeth; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep.  11:12 Then said his disciples, Lord, if he sleep, he shall do well.  11:13 Howbeit Jesus spake of his death: but they thought that he had spoken of taking of rest in sleep.  11:14 Then said Jesus unto them plainly, Lazarus is dead.  11:15 And I am glad for your sakes that I was not there, to the intent ye may believe; nevertheless let us go unto him.

John  11:39 Jesus said, Take ye away the stone. Martha, the sister of him that was dead, saith unto him, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days.  11:40 Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God?  11:41 Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me.  11:42 And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me.  11:43 And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.  11:44 And he that was dead came forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go.

Peter was delivered from satanic plot.

Luke  22:31 And the Lord said, Simon, Simon, behold, Satan hath desired to have you, that he may sift you as wheat:  22:32 But I have prayed for thee, that thy faith fail not: and when thou art converted, strengthen thy brethren.  22:33 And he said unto him, Lord, I am ready to go with thee, both into prison, and to death.  22:34 And he said, I tell thee, Peter, the cock shall not crow this day, before that thou shalt thrice deny that thou knowest me.

Our Lord Himself  discovered the evil plot of Judas Iscariot against Him.

John  13:21 When Jesus had thus said, he was troubled in spirit, and testified, and said, Verily, verily, I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.  13:22 Then the disciples looked one on another, doubting of whom he spake.  13:23 Now there was leaning on Jesus’ bosom one of his disciples, whom Jesus loved.  13:24 Simon Peter therefore beckoned to him, that he should ask who it should be of whom he spake.  13:25 He then lying on Jesus’ breast saith unto him, Lord, who is it?  13:26 Jesus answered, He it is, to whom I shall give a sop, when I have dipped it. And when he had dipped the sop, he gave it to Judas Iscariot, the son of Simon.  13:27 And after the sop Satan entered into him. Then said Jesus unto him, That thou doest, do quickly.

Be rest assured that our Lord is on top of your travails today. Hold on to Him faithfully and patiently.

Certainly this present challenges shall be turned to joy and testimony for you in particular in Jesus name.

Luke  21:12 But before all these, they shall lay their hands on you, and persecute you, delivering you up to the synagogues, and into prisons, being brought before kings and rulers for my name’s sake.  21:13 And it shall turn to you for a testimony.  21:14 Settle it therefore in your hearts, not to meditate before what ye shall answer:  21:15 For I will give you a mouth and wisdom, which all your adversaries shall not be able to gainsay nor resist.

John  16:20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, That ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: and ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.  16:21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but as soon as she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for joy that a man is born into the world.  16:22 And ye now therefore have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no man taketh from you.

Let us pray.
