So many times I unfortunately write these and think about others when I am writing. Oh I pray that He tempers my words that they may be His. For there is only one message I should write and never get tired of and that is the same message for the lost and the saved. For all of us must not only be brought to His feet but be continually brought back to His feet. We need His grace to believe and His grace to continue to believe. I pray we all personalize every word He provides for His children and that by His grace we may believest in the Father.

For years I having been passing cassette tapes of sermons out to everyone I knew or met, I am ready to come into the 21st century now. For over 30 years Pastor Henry Mahan delivered a weekly television message. Each message ran for 27 minutes and was widely broadcast. They were fortunate enough to gain access to the original professional broadcast master tapes and have converted all that were reasonably preserved to DVD format. They are available if anyone is interested and I have placed the details on my other site Gleanings of Grace. Operators are standing by….
Jhn 14:10 Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.
Jhn 14:11 Believe me that I [am] in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.
Jhn 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater [works] than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
- What works is Christ referring to?
It is so easy to read over these verses and see Christ rebuking and speaking only to the disciples. But many cry daily to see the Father when His words are in front of us and we only glance over them and count them as contributing to others. This is the very foundation of our faith. For the words Christ spoke, the words the Spirit have pressed to the pages of our Bibles are the words and doctrine of the Father. If you believe in God you trust the Word and believe also in the Son. If the Spirit reveals the Word and you know by His grace the Son you know the Father. If you see the wonders of the Word and the finished work of the Son know you have also seen and know the Father.
Read carefully, for this must be transcribed to your heart. We have His words, plainly before each of us that we may believe in the Son and know the Father and in that have eternal life. We have His works plainly before each of us for how else could a flesh that is unwilling and unable to understand be made willing and can comprehend. This message is not for others but for you! This rebuke and Christ words are directed at you! Believest thou this hour that He is the Father and the Father is He. Believest thou for the words that He speaks and the works He does in us. (Heb 2:3-4)
