Almighty Nurturing Savior, Wonderfully, Enthusiastically Redeems Situations!" (A.N.S.W.E.R.S)

Ramesh C. Reddy
Publisher

SCRIPTURE:
“That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed. The whole town gathered at the door, and Jesus healed many who had various diseases. He also drove out many demons, but he would not let the demons speak because they knew who he was.” (Mark 1:32-34, NIV)

Observations:
I asked myself what is the CAPABILITY of Jesus?
1. Jesus was capable of healing many who had various diseases.
2. Jesus was capable of driving out many demons.
3. Jesus was capable of not letting the demons speak.

I asked myself what is the COMMITMENT of Jesus?
1. Jesus was commited to healing many who had various diseases.
2. Jesus was commited to driving out many demons.
3. Jesus was commited to not letting the demons speak.

I asked myself who is Jesus in the COMPANY of?
1. Jesus was in the company of the people.
2. Jesus was in the company of all the sick.
3. Jesus was in the company of all the demon-possessed.
4. Jesus was in the company of the whole town.
5. Jesus was in the company of demons.

I asked myself what did the people do?

  1. That evening after sunset the people brought to Jesus all the sick and demon-possessed.

  2. The whole town gathered at the door.

Interpretations:

I asked myself the significance of their actions?
It is very interesting when there were those who were sick and demon-possessed, other people were the ones that brought them to Jesus. They intervened on behalf of the sick and demon-possessed so Jesus could heal them.

It is also very interesting that the whole town gathered at the door of Simon and Andrew’s home. This is evident from the previous verses (Mark 1:29-31) regarding where Jesus was staying. They were ready and expectant for a healing service!

Observations:
I asked myself what Jesus did!

  1. Jesus healed many who had various diseases.

  2. Jesus drove out many demons.

  3. Jesus did not let the demons speak because they knew who He was.

Implications:
I saw important implications for my own life. When others are sick with various diseases, I can take them before the Lord and be expectant for healing. The people were expectant and ready for a healing service and Jesus did not disappoint. Jesus answered! More than ever, we need this right now with the COVID-19 pandemic. We can be confident if the Lord chooses to, He can heal immediately no matter if it is one person or a whole town. Thank you Jesus. Help Oh Lord. Whatever we are going through, we can find our answers in Jesus for Jesus is the Answer :)

I ask you now dear friend, where do you need A.N.S.W.E.R.S in life?

Dear friend, wherever you need answers in life, you do not need to tackle it on your own. You can take the help provided for you just as the people who were sick and demon-possessed took the help of people who were healthy so they could bring them to Jesus. Each of us are looking for answers in different things but the commonality is that 'Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. (Hebrews 13:8, TLB)'. Wherever we need answer, Jesus is there for us and waits for us to turn to Him. Thank you Jesus. I know the Lord has intervened so many times with answers. He can do that for you too.

Lord knows what we are going through and answers with His promises. In my Quiet Times this morning alone, I was blessed with the promises of Psalm 43 and Hebrews 13: "O my soul, why be so gloomy and discouraged? Trust in God! I shall again praise him for His wondrous help; He will make me smile again, for He is my God!" (Psalm 43:5, TLB)

"Stay away from the love of money; be satisfied with what you have. For God has said, "I will never, never fail you nor forsake you." That is why we can say without any doubt or fear, "The Lord is my Helper, and I am not afraid of anything that mere man can do to me." (Hebrews 13:5-6, TLB)

 The Lord Jesus will answer! Whatever situation you are faced with whether it is a painful separation like we faced because of visa issues, the death of a loved one that we faced, (Both of our dads went to be with the Lord Jesus) , the loss of a job after 22 years we faced, the sorrow of a loved one, the loss of a relationship, travel plans, family problems,  COVID-19 sickness, etc, you can bring yourself  before the Lord Jesus for an answer and you can bring others to Jesus. Jesus wants to help! Yes He does friend! He will reach us where we are!

The people went expecting Jesus to do great things and Jesus did not disappoint. Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow. I believe what He did in those days, He still can do today. He uses His followers to accomplish His great works in these last days. At other times, Jesus intervenes directly!

Expect the Lord to send the answer in your life for He is the Answer for what you are going through and what your loved ones are going through. He is your Tower of refuge and strength. We may not understand why things happen the way they do but Jesus answers in His perfect timing.

Jesus intervened on our behalf when Evangeline was born and taken to the NICU. Now with the Lord's help, she is 5 years old. Thank you Jesus. Jesus heard our prayers and the prayers of our brothers and sisters in the Lord and intervened. The testimony of Evangeline can be read and seen in the EXPRESSIONS section of Pittsburgh Standard including a 5-year musical slideshow. Jesus intervened on our behalf so my precious wife Chandraleela and I could finally be together in the states even though we had terrible visa issues during the Obama administration. Jesus intervened in Esther's life who had serum sickness, pneumonia, etc this year. Jesus intervened in our lives after I lost a job of 22 years. I can go on and on about Jesus' intervention and His answers. He can do the same for you too. Just wait upon Him. Wait upon Him! The Lord used His children to help us in different ways through prayers, etc.

You can also be the one to show the Answer to one who is suffering. You have the awesome opportunity of bringing people to Jesus for healing no matter what kind of various diseases they are facing. What people face are not always physical but they can be spiritual, psychological, emotional, mental, relational, etc but Jesus has the power to reach all areas of life. That is exciting to know friend. I believe that with my whole heart and as you look to Scripture and to the One who made you and me, you can have that faith too!

More than anything people around the world need the Answer to their life no matter what prestigious jobs they have, how rich or poor they are, how popular they are, etc because only the Answer can deliver them from the question of 'Why should God let them into Heaven?'

Thinking about the afterlife is important more than ever with all the deaths occuring because of the COVID-19 plague. Never lose the opportunity to share Christ with your loved ones and those you do not get along with.

You see friend, we all have been marred by sin and separated from God. Just as the people brought the sick to the Answer, we need to do the same. Jesus is the Answer. We need to bring ourselves and others to Jesus Christ for His healing in our lives. We need Jesus Christ because He will be the Answer to the question.

God can allow us into Heaven not because of all the good works we think we do, far from it because all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Romans 3:23). All our good works are like filthy rags to the Lord (Isaiah 64:6) but He can allow us into Heaven because of Jesus Christ's sacrifice on the cross for us and our acceptance of His free gift of grace.

Friend, God demonstrated His own love towards us that while we were yet sinners Jesus Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8) Jesus knew He alone can become the bridge between man and God which started at the cross. So, Jesus shed His precious cleansing blood on the cross to become our redemptive sacrifice. Jesus paid the ransom to free us from the bondage of sin with His precious blood.

Now when we accept the antidote Christ has for us and are covered by His precious blood, when God looks at us He sees Christ's righteousness covering over us and His judgment will pass over us. This is exciting to know friend.

Friend, there are so many that are lost and only Christ's healing touch and redemption can free them. We have the opportunity to take people to Christ by our words and mostly by our actions. They need the Word of God and the healing that comes from God's Word.

May you know the Lord Jesus Christ answers in your life and waits for you to come to Him with all your wants and needs! Amen! May you know the One who loves you so much and wants to be your Answer and the Answer to all humanity!

May you bring souls to Christ after bringing yourself to Christ! Amen!

"Almighty Nurturing Savior, Wonderfully, Enthusiastically Redeems Situations!" (A.N.S.W.E.R.S)/”Where do you need A.N.S.W.E.R.S in life?”

Prayer:
Dear Lord Jesus, thank you for staying in Simon and Andrew’s home after the worship service and healing Simon’s mother-in-law. Then, after sunset you patiently healed so many  who had various diseases when people brought them to you and the town gathered at the door. Just as you healed Simon's mother-in-law, I believe you healed each one individually and personally. I thank you Jesus. This makes me really happy because you are a God who loves and cares for our needs. You can heal us now too and answer us in our distress. I thank you Jesus. You know the answers we are looking for in our lives. There are areas which we need an answer and wait on you for your help. Help us also to bring people to you so they can be healed and see that you are the Answer. I thank you Jesus. Thank you for hearing us and answering us! In Your Name I Pray Jesus! Amen

Lord Jesus, You are my all in all. You are my Prince of Peace, Rock, Savior, and Friend. You are my Holy Father guiding me through to live a life of righteousness, Holy righteousness. Oh God, I need you more than ever. I need to feel your hands around me holding me tight. I need your love to surround me so that you can glow in my life. Help me please Jesus. I desire in your presence. Thank you for guiding me to live a life of righteousness. Oh God you love me more than ever. You hear my voice when I cry out to you. When I seek your face, you fill me up. You are my all in all. Thank you Jesus so much for your help no matter what I face, your grace is available and you take my case. Thank you for hearing us and answering us. In Your Name I Pray Jesus! AMEN! (Most of the prayer is from a vineyard song called “All in All”)

May the Lord Jesus guide you in His love leading you! Amen!

No matter what you feel in your heart, know that Jesus has come in and resides with you! You are not alone! To make your walk strong with the Lord, spend time in prayer talking to Him as you would to a friend. You don’t need special words to talk to the Lord. Spend time in His Word reading Psalms and turning them into prayer. Next allow God to heal you and speak to you through the Gospel of John or Gospel of Mark before moving on to other Books of the Bible! Slowly, let the Lord show you to which Scriptures He wants you to go to next. It is also important to be part of a body of believers to help you grow in the faith. Find a Bible believing church that preaches the Word of God from Genesis to Revelation proclaiming Jesus Christ our crucified and risen Lord who brings us hope, healing, and help by His grace alone!
