THE MESSAGE THAT NEEDS TO BE RECEIVED

Romans 10

Romans 10

6 But people whose faith makes them acceptable to God will never ask, “Who will go up to heaven to bring Christ down?” 7 Neither will they ask, “Who will go down into the world of the dead to raise him to life?”8 All who are acceptable because of their faith simply say, “The message is as near as your mouth or your heart.” And this is the same message we preach about faith. 9 So you will be saved, if you honestly say, “Jesus is Lord,” and if you believe with all your heart that God raised him from death. 10 God will accept you and save you, if you truly believe this and tell it to others.11 The Scriptures say no one who has faith will be disappointed, 12 no matter if that person is a Jew or a Gentile. There is only one Lord, and he is generous to everyone who asks for his help. 13 All who call out to the Lord will be saved.

CHAPTER 1:9-15

9 During those days, Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized in the Jordan by John. 10 The moment he came up out of the water he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 A voice came from the heavens, “You are my beloved Son and I am well pleased in you.”12 Immediately after this the Holy Spirit compelled him to go into the wilderness.13 Jesus remained in the wilderness for forty days being tested by Satan. He was there among the wild animals and the angels took care of him.14 After John was put in prison, Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God 15 saying, “The right time has come and the kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe in the gospel.

DISCOVERING THE LINKBetween God doing things THEN and speaking to us NOW

JESUS, JOHN and GOD THE FATHER

1. A servant [of God] leaves home to begin to fulfil his calling from the Father.

2. The servant goes to link up with the PROPHETIC FORERUNNER linked to his ministry calling.

3. The prophetic forerunner testifies to the identity and ministry of the servant of God.

4. The Father and the Spirit lovingly testify to the identity and calling of the servant of God.
