Good Morning Christian and Welcome To The Morning Light, “GRACE HAS SURPASSED IT” Luke 5:1-6 Now Jesus was standing by the Lake of Gennesaret, and the crowd was pressing around him to hear the word of God. He saw two boats by the lake, but the fishermen had gotten out of them and were washing their nets. He got into one of the boats, which was Simon’s, and asked him to put out a little way from the shore. Then Jesus sat down and taught the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and lower your nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing! BUT AT YOUR WORD ILL LOWER THE NETS.” When they had done this, they caught so many fish that their nets started to tear. According to a wide range of recent statistics, Christianity is on a sharp decline in America. The witnessing Christian who pays attention to the social trends, might be tempted to lighten up on the Gospel until the mood out there improves. But if we pay more attention to the culture than to Jesus, well be convinced societys turning against God, put up our nets until a more promising time, and miss our great opportunity. Eccl. 11:4 He who watches the wind will not sow, and he who observes the clouds will not reap. The problem with following social indicators is that they dont indicate what God is about to do in response to negative trends. God is likely gathering the clouds of a great outpouring in response to spiritual drought. When will we realize that nothing, absolutely NOTHING, the devil can devise will hamper the advance of Gods will. Just when the devil thinks he has the upper hand, with everything lined up in his favor, God moves on some people in obscurity, and His Light breaks forth with unstoppable force. Hearts turn, and people everywhere start coming to Jesus like they’d just discovered Him! Every single review of history reveals that the more Satan twists people into rebellion against God the greater his efforts only serve to make Gods response more glorious. God specializes in impossible circumstances. Lets keep that in mind, when were tempted to look on our present world with disdain and rejection. But where sin increased and abounded, grace (God’s unmerited favor) has surpassed it and increased the more and super-abounded... —Ro.5.20 **If you were blessed by this message please LIKE it and SHARE it on your Timeline —Thank You! -- With Love & Blessing In Christ, Nick Champlin
