John Tl Maasbach Podcast

Maybe there is some area in your life that has lost its power, just like the lame man through the roof who lost all power in his legs. There was no way for the lame man to get to Jesus, but he had friends that lowered him down through the roof. The miracle of salvation preceded the miracle of healing from disease. Stay tuned for a powerful prayer at the end of this message.

Jesus met a man on the Sabbath that lived with a deformity in his body. This shrivelled hand affected his whole life. Are you dealing with some kind of deformity in your life? Hear this sweet invitation: stretch out your problem to Jesus, like the man stretched out his shriveled hand. And stay tuned for powerful prayer at the end.

In Luke 7 we read that Jesus was followed by a large crowd of people who experienced miracles. A crowd full of life! But they met with a crowd that was full of death. There are two crowds in the world today and these crowds need to meet each other.

We are not living through our strength. We are all dependent on His sufficiency to live that victorious life. It's a continuous flow! And He gives it through the Son. So how does this strength flow to us and through us?

Micah 5:4 speaks of the majesty of our great God, the mighty King of kings that conquers all. But also of the Shepherd, Who is actively involved in feeding us. Yes, we should bow down in reverence and respect before Him but on the other hand He is that Shepherd that takes care of His sheep. God wants to set you free as the glorious King that He is, but also touch you with His kindness and gentleness as the true Shepherd.

The pressure of the world may come against the church of Jesus Christ but it is possible for the church to rise up and to walk uphill, like Samson. You will rise up as a man and woman of faith, overcoming each and every obstacle that the devil may put before you.

It's not the ultimate vision for the church to be walking around the millstone, moving every part but never reaching a destination never fulfilling the purpose of God. This is not why Jesus purchased you and why the yoke of the enemy was broken over your life. This was happening to Samson and what's happening to many churches today. We are called for more.

In this message we look at Samson as the type of the church. A lot of churches have lost the true power of God in their midst. But the church is not a dead body or human institution. It is the living body of Jesus that lives in holiness and purity and that has been baptized with power from on high

There are things we need to fight and pray against but there are also things we should run away from. Samson should have ran away from Delilah. Many Christians today are playing this game of seduction but if you don't run away from it, you're going to fall just like Samson fell. The world thinks they are free. But that's not freedom, it's a form of liberalism.

It is the plan of the enemy to put out the eyes of the church, like the Philistines gouged Samson's eyes. What it leaves is a church that is blinded, because of many different things. A church that is walking on a path that will lead nowhere and will not impact the world for the good. But we can have a divine meeting with Christ today and it can change us and put us back on track!

Fear is a mighty weapon of the enemy, but don't let fear hold you captive! Fear must be subdued by the promises of God. Nehemiah encouraged the people to get up and fight. Your family, ministry or relationship with God is so much more valuable than the things of this world. God is on your side and it will be through His mighty hand that the wall will be rebuilt.

Evangelist John T.L Maasbach starts this powerful series about the hero Samson in the old Testament as a type of the church in the New Testament. Many Christians today are blinded. They are in a position where they are again as slaves. This message is to bring you hope. Today can be the day that God will deliver you out of that place. God wants to activate His power in you today!

The enemy's strategy is to ridicule, intimidate, discourage and put great fear on you. Stay focused in rebuilding the wall just like Nehemiah and don't give your time and attention to the enemy.

If you have been cast down, you are the one that God has His eye upon to restore you and use you! God is looking for Nehemiah's today to clear out the rubble and rebuild the walls.

A message especially for those in ministry: Do you think you're not going to make it? Don't surrender to that thought, but receive the Word of the Lord. Pick up those stones again and start building again! It will take time, but the Lord will help us to complete the work and the wall will be finished just like in the story of Nehemiah.

The Bible says that the punishment of sin will be death and there is nothing we can do to get out of that, if it is not for Jesus. We could not come near to God so God came near to us in the Son, veiled in the flesh. Jesus still comes near to His creation today and He wants to come near to you dear friend!

God the Father said: "Here is My Son, listen to Him". The Son doesn't just say anything He wants to say, He is totally in line with the doctrine of the old and new testament. If we will just listen more to His words, it would bless and help us. We are co-heirs of all His promises when we are in the Son!

Maybe you've prayed in the past: "God, speak to me with an audible voice" but we couldn't stand to regularly hear that voice of the absolute God in that way as He spoke to Peter, James and John on mount Tabor. But when Jesus comes near, as a testimony in your inner man, that is what brings a real change in you.
