FaceTime In Intercession And Obedience

Posted on by

Our intercession and obedience to the Word will get Jesus involved in our daily lives to face Time that is not yet.

“Dear woman, why do you involve me?”  Jesus replied. “My time has not yet come (John 2:4).”

Jesus, his mother Mary and his disciples were invited to a wedding at Cana.  At the wedding, Mary noticed the wine was finished and informed Jesus about the lack.  Jesus told her his time has not yet come.  Regardless, Mary told the servants to do whatever Jesus tells them to do.  Jesus instructed the servants to fill the jars with water, so they filled the jars which were used for ceremonial cleansing with water.  Then he instructed them to draw some out and take it to the master of the banquet.  They did what Jesus told them to do without any questions.  The master tasted the water that turned into wine and was surprised.

Mary’s intercession on behalf of their host and the obedience of the servants changed the time that was not yet to a now time.  A time of lack, a time of panic, and a time of embarrassment at the wedding were turned into continued joyful celebration.  

What is the lack that is causing you to panic?  Are you worried about potential embarrassment?  Inform Jesus in prayer and get him involved.  Then, wait and listen to him, and obey His word one step at a time.  Our prayer and obedience enable Jesus to manifest His glory.

Let us face Time that is not yet with intercession and obedience and see Jesus at work.

Fill your mind with the word,

Draw it out in faith and

Taste and see that the Lord is good.

 

FaceTime With Thanksgiving

We ought to face “Time of fulfillment” with thanksgiving because we are a day closer to the appointed time of our unanswered prayers.

And he made known to us the mystery of his will according to his good pleasure, which he purposed in Christ, to be put into effect when the times will have reached their fulfillment – to bring all things in heaven and on earth together under one head, even Christ (Ephesians 1:9,10).

The Jews waited and waited for the promised Messiah, but when the time had fully come, God sent his Son, the Messiah (Galatians 4:4).  There is a time for everything and a season for every activity under heaven (Ecclesiastes 3).

God has set time for us to be born, to die, to get married, to work, to retire, etc. He will not move the time of fulfillment the way we move away from a baby to get them to take more steps. That means as each day passes by we are a day closer to that time.  When we understand this truth, our sighing, “How long, Oh Lord,” will change to, “wow Lord, the time is getting closer.”  We can face Time thanking God knowing that we are a year, a month, a day and an hour closer to our answers.  

His children have the comfort of knowing that God though timeless and eternal is with us right now.  He is in time with us to give us what He promised before the beginning of time.  Let us daily face Time with shouts of joy and thanksgiving.
