WHO GOD SAYS I AM
I AM A FRIEND OF CHRIST
I no longer call you servants, because a
servant does not know his master’s business. Instead, I
have called you friends , for everything that I learned from
my Father I have made known to you.....John 15:15
WHO GOD SAYS I AM:
I AM AN AMBASSADOR FOR CHRIST
Therefore, we are ambassadors for
Christ , God making his appeal through us. We implore you
on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God......2 Corinthians 5:20
WHO GOD SAYS I AM:
I AM BLESSED:
Praise be to the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the heavenly
realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.....Ephesians 1:3
"...But God was with him and delivered him out of all his troubles, and gave him favor and wisdom in the presence of Pharaoh, king of Egypt; and he made him governor over Egypt and all his house."
Acts 7:9-10
When critics come to challenge legality of Christ authority.......see how Jesus handle the matter gently
"I'll tell you by what authority I do these things if you answer one question," Jesus replied. "Did John's authority to baptize come from heaven, or was it merely human? Answer me!" — Mark 11:29-30
Things To Note:
Jesus didn't try to defend his authority. It would be amply demonstrated. In fact, he had already demonstrated it throughout his ministry by casting out demons, healing people with diseases, and speaking with the power and wisdom of God himself. If his opponents refused to believe, there was nothing he could do or say in the natural realm to change that ... except maybe die and be raised again, and even that wasn't enough for his critics and adversaries. Jesus didn't back down at their petty little displays of their token authority. Rather than argue with them about authority, he challenged them back with a question that would stump them. His question demonstrated what they refused to believe. Jesus knew authority. Jesus spoke with authority. Jesus was authority, so he asked them to answer him. They couldn't (Mark 11:30-33). They were left with only the bitterest of plans ... they must kill him! Even then, as we know today, they didn't have the authority or power to pull off their mission! They were successful only because Jesus submitted himself to them to honor God's plan.
Praise God!!!JESUS WAY OF HANDLING CRITICS

2 Samuel 17:23 When Ahithophel saw that his advice had not been followed, he saddled his donkey and set out for his house in his hometown. HE PUT IN HOUSE IN ORDER and then hanged himself. So he died and was buried in his father’s tomb.....How strange that He was able to put his house in Order and not HIS LIFE!
Suicide is man’s way of telling God, ‘You can’t fire me – I quit.'” – Bill Maher
Suicide doesn’t take away the pain, it gives it to someone else.
Hold On, help is on the way! Shalom.
" Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
2 His descendants will be mighty on earth;
The generation of the upright will be blessed.
3 Wealth and riches will be in his house,
And his righteousness endures forever.
4 Unto the upright there arises light in the darkness;
He is gracious, and full of compassion, and righteous.
5 A good man deals graciously and lends;
He will guide his affairs with discretion.
6 Surely he will never be shaken;
The righteous will be in everlasting remembrance.
7 He will not be afraid of evil tidings;
His heart is steadfast, trusting in the Lord.
8 His heart is established;
He will not be afraid,
Until he sees his desire upon his enemies.
9 He has dispersed abroad,
He has given to the poor;
His righteousness endures forever;
His horn will be exalted with honor.
10 The wicked will see it and be grieved;
He will gnash his teeth and melt away;
The desire of the wicked shall perish."
Psalms 112" Praise the LORD! Blessed is the man who fears the Lord,
Who delights greatly in His commandments.
