The Lord Needs You
Luke 19:28-34 And when he had thus spoken, he went before, ascending up to Jerusalem.
29 And it came to pass, when he was come nigh to Bethphage and Bethany, at the mount called the mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples, 30 Saying, Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon
yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither. 31 And if any man ask you, Why do ye loose him? thus shall ye say unto him, Because the Lord hath need of him. 32
And they that were sent went their way,
and found even as he had said unto them.
33 And as they were loosing the colt, the owners thereof said unto them, Why loose
ye the colt? 34 And they said,
The Lord hath need of him.
The Lord Needs You, You ask how ??
What are you good at and what do you enjoy.
I’m here today to preach and to prophesy, and I prophesy that today is a day of deliverance, bondages are going to be broken, captives loosed, prisoners set free.
Luke 4:18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
Today is your day, bondages broken today
Healing today, delivered today, set free today
The Lord Needs You !!!
Jesus says to his disciples: Go into town and when you see the colt tied up (loose him) and bring him to me.
I am one of his disciples today, and God
sent me here to loose you, to set you free.
I am not here to entertain you or be entertained (I’m on assignment) I’m on a mission to destroy the works of the devil.
For this purpose the son of God was manifested that he might destroy the works of the devil. “Somebody shout I’m Free”
Satan is a trespasser he has no right nor authority over your life, everything satan holds, he holds illegally.
Jesus said: Loose him and bring him to me
The Lord Needs You, Say the Lord needs me.
Expect opposition, expect resistance,
Expect confrontation, expect a fight.
But when the master commands you to be loosed, nothing can hold you, no devil
is big enough to keep you bound.
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
I don’t care where you’ve been or what you’ve done, you may be a fornicator, a liar, an adulterer, a homosexual or a lesbian,
but the bottom line is Jesus needs you.
We are all x somethings:
We were all bound by sin
before Jesus set us free.
In this house are x drug addicts,
x liars, x thieves, x fornicators,
x alcoholics, x porn addicts
x adulterers, x gossips, x back biters,
but Jesus came and set us free.
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
I came to tell you today: You are valuable and you are vital to the plan of God.
That’s the message of the gospel: For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son, that whosoever believeth on him should not perish but have everlasting life (Jn 3:16)
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
Every one of you is valuable and vital to God
Tell your neighbor: You are valuable
Now tell them: You are vital
You are precious, you are important,
you are special, Shout, The Lord Needs You
God paid the highest price that could be payed, when he gave his own son to redeem us back to himself. You are worth everything.
You are vital, urgently needed, indispensable, essential, absolutely necessary, crucial, critical. Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
Your body can’t live without blood, without a liver, without kidneys, without lungs, without a heart and you are just as vital to God,
as your blood is to your body, as lungs, as a liver, as your heart is to your body.
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
*We have heard it said many times:
God doesn’t need me, but I sure need him.
*God can make it without me,
but I sure can’t make it without him.
*God can do it without me,
but I can’t do anything without him.
*God is awesome, but I’m nothing
*God is all powerful,
but I’m week and helpless, and powerless.
I know it sounds real humble and spiritual and self-denying and God exalting, but the truth is, it’s not biblical, it’s not scriptural
Fact is, it’s opposite of what the bible teaches.
What this mind set does, is separate us
from God, It puts God and His power
and His anointing outside of us.
It puts God way up in heaven with all His power and glory sitting on a big throne surrounded by angels, cherubim, seraphim, And us, way down here on earth, weak and lowly, barely getting by, with one foot in the grave and the other on a banana peel, just hoping for a touch every now and then,
just to make it over the next mountain.
It might sound spiritual and it may sound humble, but it’s not biblical, not Bible.
*My bible tells me that my body is the temple of the Holy Ghost
*My bible tells me that God dwells in me
Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?
Whosoever shall confess that Jesus is the Son of God, God dwelleth in him, and he in God.
And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
He doesn’t just call me up, or text me or
send an e-mail me, He doesn’t just drop by
for a little visit every now and then, but he is a permanent resident, He lives in me !!!
He walks through my feet
He touches through my hands
He speaks through my lips
When I show up, God shows up
When I walk in, God walks in
I am the vine, ye are the branches:
He that abideth in me, and I in him,
the same bringeth forth much fruit:
I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me;
and the life which I now live in the flesh
I live by faith in the Son of God,
who loved me and gave Himself for me.
The Kingdom of God is not just a place I go when I die, The Kingdom of God is now.
But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwells in you.
The kingdom of God cometh not with observation: Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you. The authority and the power of the Kingdom of God is in me, it’s in you.
And he said unto them, I beheld Satan as lightning, fall from heaven. Behold, I give unto “you” power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: nothing shall by any means hurt you.
Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
You are the salt of the earth: Ye are the light of the world. A city that is set on an hill cannot be hid. Neither do men light a candle, and put it under a bushel, but on a candlestick; and it gives light to all that are in the house. Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works,
and glorify your Father which is in heaven.
For we are labourers together “WITH” God
God has chosen to partner “with” us to bring in the harvest and establish the Kingdom.
God is Spirit, We are flesh
God needs our flesh to touch flesh
He needs our hands to touch
He needs our feet to walk
He needs our lips to speak
We need his Spirit, but He needs our flesh
His Spirit in us, the anointing in us, empowers us to be his witnesses.
If your feet don’t go, God don’t go.
If your hands don’t reach out
God don’t touch
If you don’t open your mouth,
God don’t speak
How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard?
and how shall they hear without a preacher?
And how shall they preach, except there sent
How shall they hear without a preacher ???
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
Jesus said to them, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
As thou father hath sent me into the world, even so have I also sent them into the world.
Just as Jesus was anointed to heal the sick, cast out devils, open blind eyes, set captives free, we are anointed to do the same thing.
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in Him Amen, unto the glory of God,
By Us. Now he which stablisheth us with you in Christ, and hath anointed US, is God;
And he said unto them, Go YE into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them;
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. And they went forth, and preached everywhere, the Lord working
with them, and confirming the word with signs following them. Amen.
We are here to continue the work Jesus started: One of Satans greatest weapons against the believer is to make them feel unnecessary, invaluable, and inadequate.
But our text says: The Lord hath need of thee (God needs you!)
You are important to the Kingdom of God (God can’t do it without you)
2000 years ago God lived in the body of Jesus Today he lives in the body of a person named Bishop “B”, Pastor Lyril, Tim, Jo-Ann, Jim, Renee, Vickie, Celeste, Raymond, Florence
Put your name in there and SHOUT…
The Lord Needs Me !!!!!!!
You may feel inadequate but the bible says: He hath made us Able ministers…
You are able
*You’ve got the blood of Jesus
*You’ve got the Name of Jesus
* You’ve got the Word of God
*You’ve got the Power of the Holy Ghost
You are chosen
You are anointed
You are appointed
You are able, and God wants you on his team
Nobody can do your job
If you don’t do it, it won’t get done
If you don’t say it, it won’t get said
There are those that are waiting for your touch, and if you don’t touch them they won’t get touched.
You are the only Jesus some will ever see
You are the only bible some will ever read
You have their healing
You have their deliverance
You have their miracle
You have their breakthrough
You have their answer and His name is Jesus
But YOU have to do something….
You have to do YOUR part…
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
We are quick to tell people: Don’t look as us, We can’t help you, just look at Jesus.
But wait, Peter and John said: Look on us
Because they knew Jesus was in them
They said: We don’t have any silver or gold, but we have something that can heal you,
and deliver you and change your life, and we have been authorized and empowered to give it to you and anyone else who needs it.
And what we have we give unto you
In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth
Rise up and walk !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You have that same Authority,
You have that same anointing
You have that same power.
We didn’t get a different Holy Ghost
We have the same Holy Ghost as they did.
The same today, yesterday and forever
Christ in you the Hope of Glory
Greater is he in you than he in the world
Greater than poverty and lack
Greater than drugs and alcohol
Greater than marriage problems
Greater than witchcraft and sorcery
Greater than depression and fear
Greater than anxiety, stress and oppression
Greater than heart trouble
Greater than sugar diabetes
Greater than arthritis
Greater than liver or kidney disease
Greater than cancer
Greater is he in you than he in the world
Me and God are a team,
Me and God are partners
Me and God are awesome
Me and God can do the impossible
Me and God are unstoppable
Me and God are a threat to hell
I don’t care what has you bound today:
I came in the name of Jesus
To declare your liberty
I prophesy that you are free, free, free
I am here in the Authority of Jesus Name
To break every chain that binds you.
To destroy every bondage in your life.
To see you walk in a greater Anointing.
Jesus spoiled principalities and powers
and made a show of them openly, in triumph over them in the cross.
Satan’s power over you is broken
Jesus bought your liberty with his blood
By the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit.
By his blood you are coming out of every pit, every yoke, every bondage, every addiction.
I command it in Jesus Mighty Name.
The Lord Hath Need Of You…
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
Shout, The Lord Needs Me !!!!!
Shout, The Lord Needs “””Me””” !!!!!
Special thanks to a great man of God and a wonderful friend, Pastor Terry Sisney.
My name is William Poovey, and I pastor at Bethel Church in Olar, SC. I have been a long-time user of Sermon Central and truly appreciate its content and contributors. Some of the best sermons I’ve ever preached have been reworked material from this website. As you use the material from my sermon bank, understand that it is work that has been done from not just myself, but from hundreds of other pastors as well. If you see part of your message, or a lot of your message with my name on it and this upsets you, please email me and I will quickly respond and cite you as the main source. My intent is not to claim someone’s work as my own. I am disclaiming up front that I use the resources from Sermon Central and appreciate the tool. I simply want all those who use my work to know that some of these messages were inspired by the Holy Spirit working through other pastors. Because I do use the messages of other pastors I waive all claims of originality or origin of creativity for the messages posted under my messages. I pray God blesses your preaching ministry for the glory of His Kingdom.
Respectfully,
William Poovey
