You Ain't Seen Nothin Yet

Joe 2:23 Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the LORD your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first [month].

Hag 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

Everything about God is progressive, he is always moving forward, he is always building, he is always outdoing himself.

Jesus Miracle ministry begins with something seemingly insignificant, it was no life and death situation, but it quickly progressed to opening blind eyes, making the lame to walk, casting out devils, feeding the multitudes..

Hag 2:9 The glory of this latter house shall be greater than of the former, saith the LORD of hosts: and in this place will I give peace, saith the LORD of hosts.

Jesus did not know the word impossible

Mt 19:26 But Jesus beheld [them], and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.

Mr 9:23 Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things [are] possible to him that believeth.

We look and we see impossible conditions, darkness, confusion, hopelessness, perversion, corruption, (impossible)

Jesus looks and he sees a perfect opportunity for a miracle, a perfect backdrop for a display of his glory.

Many times what looks like a breakdown, is just a setup for a breakthrough.

No wine at the wedding: Embarrassing, the reputation of the groom was at stake.

The people wanted wine, (there was no more wine in their cups or in the kitchen).

*Need *Desire * An embarrassing situation

Then Jesus takes the case

Mk 5:23 Then there was the case of Jairus the ruler of the synagogue, whos little girl was at the point of death:

Jesus heads for Jairus home to heal her.

A messenger interrupts them (trouble the master no longer, thy daughter is dead.

Now the stage is set:

Guilt: why didn’t I come sooner, why did I let my pride stand in the way, I should have listened to my wife.

Greif: My baby girl is dead, only 12 yrs old

Anger: We might have made it if that woman hadn’t stopped Jesus, Now she’s healed and my daughters dead.

He was my last hope:

I heard how he turned the water into wine, and healed the nobleman’s son and delivered the demoniac, but my daughter is not sick, nor demonized she is dead.

(Then Jesus Words penetrate his thoughts) Fear not only believe:

The house is filled with mourning, weeping and wailing, death is hanging in the air

Man sees darkness, hopelessness, grief, sorrow, pain.

Jesus sees the perfect backdrop for a manifestation of the glory of God. (Little girl I say unto thee arise)…………

What a mighty God:

We have seen him turn water into wine, feed multitudes, give sight to the blind, walk on water, cast out devils and raise the dead.

Surely we have seen him at his best, surely we have seen the greatest manifestation of his power and glory>

No He’s bigger than that

The best is yet to come

You ain’t seen nothing yet

One day news came to Jesus: He whom thou lovest is sick

Upon his arrival Lazrus has been dead four days (not seconds, minutes, hours, but 4 days

The stone has been rolled in front of the tomb.

The stone speaks of finality, the end, it’s over, it’s beyond help, the condition is incurable, the problem is irreversible.

If you would have come earlier, you could have healed him, we believe you could have kept him from dying, but now it’s over.

Isn’t it amazing how we limit God

You can do this but not that, You have the power to stop something from happening, but you can’t turn it around.

My friend that’s where we’re wrong, this whole book is a book about turn around.

Your too late:

Jesus says: Take away the stone (Lazrus come forth, Loose him and let him go.

We are seeing today a society that is out of control

America is no longer a Christian nation, Everyday we are hearing of how God is being rejected and removed from our schools, our Holidays,

Christmas is a time for parades, and celebrations, but Christ is left out,

Easter is a time for easter egg hunts, and rabbits, and dinners, and parties.

We are seeing the spirit of perversion and worldliness and corruption, not sneaking into our churches, not hiding in our pews, but filling our pulpits, And preaching their perverted self serving Gospel leading people into lust, and covetousness and greed.

Jeremiah spoke of a simular time in Israels history
