Jesus alone your timely helper.

Jesus alone your timely  helper

John  21:7 Therefore that disciple whom Jesus loved saith unto Peter, It is the Lord. Now when Simon Peter heard that it was the Lord, he girt his fisher’s coat unto him, (for he was naked,) and did cast himself into the sea.  21:8 And the other disciples came in a little ship; (for they were not far from land, but as it were two hundred cubits,) dragging the net with fishes.  21:9 As soon then as they were come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid thereon, and bread.  21:10 Jesus saith unto them, Bring of the fish which ye have now caught.  21:11 Simon Peter went up, and drew the net to land full of great fishes, an hundred and fifty and three: and for all there were so many, yet was not the net broken.  21:12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art thou? knowing that it was the Lord.  21:13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.  21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen from the dead.

Always remember, there is only one person that can never fail you, during your crisis period. His name is Jesus. He will always be timely.

You can count on Him, He will never fail you.

Psalms  62:8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

Psalms  46:1 God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  46:2 Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea;  46:3 Though the waters thereof roar and be troubled, though the mountains shake with the swelling thereof. Selah.  46:4 There is a river, the streams whereof shall make glad the city of God, the holy place of the tabernacles of the most High.  46:5 God is in the midst of her; she shall not be moved: God shall help her, and that right early.

Listen to others that received timely help from Him, He will do same for you in Jesus name.

1. The three Hebrews 

Daniel  3:19 Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.  3:20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.  3:21 Then these men were bound in their coats, their hosen, and their hats, and their other garments, and were cast into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.  3:22 Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego.  3:23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace.  3:24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste, and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.  3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.  3:26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.  3:27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.

2. The disciples before the storm could drowned them.

Mark  4:35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.  4:36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.  4:37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.  4:38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?  4:39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.  4:40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?  4:41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

3. The malefactor crucified with Him.

Luke  23:39 And one of the malefactors which were hanged railed on him, saying, If thou be Christ, save thyself and us.  23:40 But the other answering rebuked him, saying, Dost not thou fear God, seeing thou art in the same condemnation?  23:41 And we indeed justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds: but this man hath done nothing amiss.  23:42 And he said unto Jesus, Lord, remember me when thou comest into thy kingdom.  23:43 And Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise.

4. The couples doing marriage at Cana of Galilee.

John  2:1 And the third day there was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there:  2:2 And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage.  2:3 And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine.  2:4 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come.  2:5 His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it.  2:6 And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece.  2:7 Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim.  2:8 And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it.  2:9 When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom,  2:10 And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now.  2:11 This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him.

5. Lazarus, rescued from decomposing after been dead for four days.

John  11:32 Then when Mary was come where Jesus was, and saw him, she fell down at his feet, saying unto him, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died.  11:33 When Jesus therefore saw her weeping, and the Jews also weeping which came with her, he groaned in the spirit, and was troubled,  11:34 And said, Where have ye laid him? They said unto him, Lord, come and see.  11:35 Jesus wept.  11:36 Then said the Jews, Behold how he loved him!  11:37 And some of them said, Could not this man, which opened the eyes of the blind, have caused that even this man should not have died?  11:38 Jesus therefore again groaning in himself cometh to the grave. It was a cave, and a stone lay upon it.  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.

6. Peter, before king Herod could behead him.

Acts  12:5 Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him.  12:6 And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison.  12:7 And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands.  12:8 And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me.  12:9 And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision.  12:10 When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him.  12:11 And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the LORD hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.

7. Paul apostle before the angry mob could kill him.

Acts  26:13 At midday, O king, I saw in the way a light from heaven, above the brightness of the sun, shining round about me and them which journeyed with me.  26:14 And when we were all fallen to the earth, I heard a voice speaking unto me, and saying in the Hebrew tongue, Saul, Saul, why persecutest thou me? it is hard for thee to kick against the pricks.  26:15 And I said, Who art thou, Lord? And he said, I am Jesus whom thou persecutest.  26:16 But rise, and stand upon thy feet: for I have appeared unto thee for this purpose, to make thee a minister and a witness both of these things which thou hast seen, and of those things in the which I will appear unto thee;  26:17 Delivering thee from the people, and from the Gentiles, unto whom now I send thee,  26:18 To open their eyes, and to turn them from darkness to light, and from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sins, and inheritance among them which are sanctified by faith that is in me.  26:19 Whereupon, O king Agrippa, I was not disobedient unto the heavenly vision:  26:20 But shewed first unto them of Damascus, and at Jerusalem, and throughout all the coasts of Judaea, and then to the Gentiles, that they should repent and turn to God, and do works meet for repentance.  26:21 For these causes the Jews caught me in the temple, and went about to kill me.  26:22 Having therefore obtained help of God, I continue unto this day, witnessing both to small and great, saying none other things than those which the prophets and Moses did say should come:

8. Paul apostle before the fourteen days storm could drowned him.

Acts  27:18 And we being exceedingly tossed with a tempest, the next day they lightened the ship;  27:19 And the third day we cast out with our own hands the tackling of the ship.  27:20 And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, and no small tempest lay on us, all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.  27:21 But after long abstinence Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, and to have gained this harm and loss.  27:22 And now I exhort you to be of good cheer: for there shall be no loss of any man’s life among you, but of the ship.  27:23 For there stood by me this night the angel of God, whose I am, and whom I serve,  27:24 Saying, Fear not, Paul; thou must be brought before Caesar: and, lo, God hath given thee all them that sail with thee.  27:25 Wherefore, sirs, be of good cheer: for I believe God, that it shall be even as it was told me.  27:37 And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls.  27:44 And the rest, some on boards, and some on broken pieces of the ship. And so it came to pass, that they escaped all safe to land.

Since Jesus has not changed. He will do same for you too in Jesus name.

Hebrews  13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
