  • The World Beyond The End

    Thursday, April 20, 2017

    Peter stands atop a house by the sea in Joppa praying, surrounded by the wind and smell of the ocean. This is where he has the vision saying that the Gentiles are to be saved too. If you’re not Jewish, then today you’re saved through that vision. God had to bring Peter to Joppa, to the end of Israel, to the shore - the end of everything he knew - so He could bring him something new. So too, God brings us to the end of things to bring us to the beginning of something new. We have to come to the end of ourselves to know the beginning of what God has for us. God’s child has to believe beyond the end. Do you have something ending in your life? Then believe beyond the barrier, beyond the limit, or the hopelessness. When it seems that it’s impossible, then believe beyond the end. Don’t fear coming to the end, because in God, every end is the beginning of something new, someth ing greater, and your life will be like that of Simon Peter. In God, every Joppa leads to the beginning of the world.
    From Message #712 - A House by the Sea

    Scripture: Isa. 43:18–19

    TODAY'S MISSION - Do you see an ending in your life, a barrier, a finishing? Believe beyond the end and look for the new beginning that God has for you.
