GUATEMALA RESPONDS THE GOSPEL
Pastor Max Solbrekken delivers God's WordI BELIEVE
ALL OF GOD’S WORD!
by: Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
Little Deaf & Dumb Boy’s miracle opened Guatemala to the Gospel in 1969. His grandmother was a prominent business woman and she took him to all the business owners. The crowd increased from thirty to several thousand. Johny Larring and Thorbjorn Martensen from Norway assisted in the Crusade! A man who owned 30 buses, a member of a small Evangelical Church used his buses to transport people.
A policeman stated we were making too much
noise and he would arrest me. The man who owned the buses said the thousands present
were making the noise and he would have to arrest everyone. When he arrived
with another policeman, I was praying for a woman in a wheelchair. She arose
and walked. They were shocked and left immediately. Johny Larring had his
camera ready to get a picture of my arrest, but the police were gone. To God be
all the glory and praise! The Pentecostal Church in France agreed to supply a
pastor there!
AMAZING TRUTHS ABOUT GOD
The BIBLE states, “How God
anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power; who went doing
good, and HEALING a of all things which He did and we are witnesses of all
things that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with Him.” (Acts 10:38)
God is gracious
and long suffering! He calls us through His Word and speaks to us by the Holy
Spirit. He is righteous, holy and merciful to all who call upon His name in
sincerity and faith!
He rewards such
penitents who prostate themselves in submission and the fear of the Lord. He is
not a God who is far off, but is nigh unto all them that have a broken heart
and a contrite spirit. His peace fills the whole world and those who love Him
and obey His Word of Truth!
GOD IS ABLE!
“Now unto Him that is able to do exceeding abundantly
above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us.“ (Eph.3:20).
The Bible states: “Wherefore He (Christ) is able also to SAVE them to the
uttermost that come unto God through Him.” (Heb. 7:25)
“Is any SICK among you let him call for the elders of the
church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the
Lord: And the Prayer of Faith shall save (heal) the sick and the Lord
shall RAISE him up; and if he has committed any sins, they shall be forgiven
him.” (James 5:15; Isa.53:4,5; Ps. 103;1-2)
JESUS
LAID OUT HIS SALVATION PLAN
After Defeating Satan in His Wilderness Temptation, He returned
to the Nazareth synagogue where He had been brought up and
laid out His Salvation Plan: “And there was delivered unto Him the Book of the
Prophet Isaiah. And when He had opened the book, he found the place where it
was written.
“The Spirit
of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the
poor; He hath sent me to HEAL the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised. To preach the acceptable
year of the Lord.”
(Luke 4:18-20).
HE
IS ABLE TO KEEP US
“For God hath not
given us a spirit of fear; but of power, and love, and of a sound mind…for I
know Whom I have believed, and am persuaded that He is able to KEEP that which
I have committed unto Him against that day.” (2 Tim. 1,7, 12)
“GRACE be unto
you, and PEACE from God our Father, and from our Lord Jesus Christ. I thank my
God upon every remembrance of you… Being confident of this very thing, that He
which hath begun a good work I you will perform it until the day of Jesus
Christ.” (Phil. 1:2-5)
“Now unto
Him that is able to KEEP you from falling, and to present you faultless before
the presence of His glory with exceeding joy. To the only Wise God our Saviour,
be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and ever.” (Jude 24,25)
HE
IS ABLE TO HEAL AND PROSPER US
Beloved, I wish
above all things that thou mayest PROSPER and be in HEALTH, even as thy soul
prospereth.” (3 John 2); “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy
Ghost and with power: Who went about doing Good, and healing all that were
oppressed of the devil, for God was with Him.” (Acts 10:38)
“Believe Me that
I am in the Father and the Father in Me; or else believe Me for the very work’s
sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on Me, the works that I
do he shall do also; and greater works than these shall he do, that the Father
may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask anything in May name, I will do
it.” (John 14: 11-14)
JESUS
THE CHRIST SON OF THE LIVING GOD
“He saith unto them, but whom do ye say
that I am? And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ the Son of
the Living God. And Jesus and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon bar
Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but My Father
which is in Heaven.” (Matt.16: 15-17)
CHRIST
IS ABLE TO INTERCEDE FOR US
“By so much was Jesus
made a surety of a better testament…But the Man Jesus continueth ever, hath an
unchangeable priesthood. Wherefore He is able to SAVE them to the uttermost
that come unto God by Him. For such an High Priest became us, Who is holy,
harmless, undefiled, undefiled, separate from sinners, and made higher than the
heaven;
“Who needeth not
daily as those high priest, to offer up sacrifice, first for his own sins, and then for the people’s; for this He did
once when He offered up Himself. For the law maketh men high priests which have
infirmity, but the word of the oath, which was since the law, maketh THE SON,
who is consecrated forever.” (Heb. 7: 22-27)
THERE
IS THEREFORE NO CONDEMNATION
“There is
therefore now no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus who walk not
after the flesh but after the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life hath
made me FREE from the law of sin and death. For what the law could not do in
that it was weak through the flesh, God sending His Son in the likeness of
sinful flesh, and for sin, condemned sin in the flesh.” (Rom. 8:1-3)
“But ye are not
in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you.
Now if any man have not the Spirit, he is none of His. And if Christ be in you,
the body is dead because of sin; but the Spirit is life because of
righteousness.
“But if the
Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, He that raised
up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by His Spirit
that dwells n you.” (Rom. 8: 9-11)
I
PRESS TOWARD THE MARK
“That
I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and the fellowship of His
sufferings, being made conformable unto His death: if by any means I might
attain unto the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained,
either were already perfect; but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that
for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
“Brethren,
I count not myself to have apprehended: but this thing I do, forgetting those
things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those which are before, I
PRESS TOWARD the mark for the prize of the high calling in Christ Jesus.”
(Phil. 3:10-14) Amen.
