Monday, June 26, 2023 – The Nonmiraculous Miracles
Matthew 25 says, “When I was hungry you fed Me, thirsty you gave Me to drink, a stranger you took Me in, naked you clothed Me, sick you visited Me, in prison you came to Me.” He didn’t say, you called down manna from heaven, you spoke to the rock and water gushed out or you laid hands on Me and healed Me. Isn’t it easier to call down miracles? It’s possible. So why not here? Sometimes God restrains miracles so you can be part of the answer. He wants to do something greater. Manna coming from heaven is a miracle. So is loving and buying someone food. In some way that’s even more Messiah-like. Often you have a problem in life with no immediate answer, because God wants you to rise up and be part of it. He wants your whole life involved in the answer. Getting manna from heaven won’t necessarily make you more like Messiah, but loving, blessing and giving in righteousness will. When you don’t see the miracle coming out of heaven, it’s a sign that now the miracle is to come out of another place.
We must consider that we shall be as a city on a hill.
The eyes of all peoples are upon us. A city on a hill.
This is the most lasting symbol of America, not the bald eagle, not the flag that has ever been given on Thanksgiving.
And for many years, I join my relatives who live in Massachusetts, uh New England.
They live on a hill village, hilltop village overlooking the Massachusetts Bay and the houses of the of the village.
Many of them are from the 19th century.
Many of them from the, from the 18th century, many of them are from before America.
It’s right next to Salem. And the house they live in is older than America.
It was there before there was the United States. It goes back to colonial times.
Now the house itself is modern. They have television and kitchen, microwave room with computer and printer and facts.
But if you go down to the cellar, you see there, it’s made up of carved stone, reminding me of Jerusalem cut rock.
It’s the foundation of the house and it goes back that looks the same as it did in the days of the 13 colonies.
So there’s a big disconnect between the house, what’s in the house modern and what the house actually is, you see it in the foundation, the house is from a different time.
So with America, if you look at it now, you would think in many ways that it’s a nation that is foreign to the faith of God that even bans the mention of the faith of God more and more and the values it now champions here and around the world often are extremely anti biblical.
Yet, the thing is if you go downstairs into the cell or into the foundation of America, you see the purpose for which it came into existence, for which the house stands.
And there are, there are in the foundation, you can see what the purpose of this is.
So we wanna go downstairs this Fourth of July American civilization as we know it was founded on two grounds.
The first was Virginia, Cape Henry, Virginia Beach.
It was begun by a group that sailed the Atlantic and they, when they came to land, they put a make shift cross on the sand in the sand and they bowed their heads in prayer and they dedicated this new civilization to God.
It would lead to the founding of Jamestown of Williamsburg of Virginia dedicated to God and for the purpose of spreading the gospel.
The other one was Massachusetts Bay and that in many ways is even more critical founded by the separatists known to us as the pilgrims who came to the new world to find, to found a society based on God’s Word and religious freedom.
They sailed the ship, the Mayflower.
They sealed a covenant called the Mayflower Compact in it, the new civil and in their compact.
And in their founding that they, they said this new civilization was to exist for God’s glory and to spread the gospel.
That was 16, 2010 years later came out another great movement.
The is called a P in Exodus from Europe, the man who led it was called, his name was John Winthrop.
The puritans set out to create a people.
It says in the new world who would be in their own words would be religiously, peaceably civilly governed and, and their life, their life and their example would win the natives to the faith of God.
On March 23rd, 16 30 they set out about 1000 of them in ships led by John Winthrop in the ship, the Arbella.
While aboard the ship, he wrote down the vision for the new civilization that would be known as America.
He said this, we are a company professing ourselves.
Fellow members of Christ, Messiah knit together by this bond of love.
There stands between us, this cause between God and us. We are entered into covenant with him for this work.
And he wrote, we must consider that we shall be as a city on a hill, the eyes of all peoples are upon us.
A city on a hill. This is the most lasting symbol of America.
Not the bald eagle, not the flag that has ever been given from 16 30 to now, it came at the foundation was embedded at the foundation of the house called America.
Where did he get it from? He got it from Messiah. So here now think about the vision of America.
Here came from John Winthrop who got it from Messiah. So here you’ve got something radical.
You have a nation that is founded on a vision that Messiah Jesus gave to his disciples as if it was gonna be a civilization of disciples, which was their dream.
Now, of course, America falls and and it has sin and all those things as well.
But it’s unique in that it was founded and with this radical radical vision that it would be as if it was a nation of civilization of disciples, imagine there would be a land, there’s a land that’s founded to be a Christian utopia.
Well, it already happened, it’s called America and that is why with its, with its following God and whether it’s not following God, that is why it became such a unique civilization.
Where did Winthrop get his word? He gave a promise to, to America a charge.
He was a prophetic word and a warning. Where did he get mos He got it from Moses.
You see Moses, he got it from the book of Deuteronomy.
Moses gave a word to Israel as it was about to enter the land.
That’s the book of Deuteronomy, right by the river Jordan says, you’re gonna cross the Jordan.
Well, now you have another exodus from an old world and the leader was looked on as a Moses, John Winthrop, they’re about to enter the land and John Winthrop uses the words of Moses to get given to Israel as they’re gonna enter the land and he gives it for America.
They’re not crossing a Jordan, they’re crossing the Atlantic. And so you have this.
So not only was America founded to be a Godly Christian holy civilization, but it was also founded as a new Israel, not replacing Israel, but after the pattern of ancient Israel at one point, it was proposed that the new language be Hebrew.
Imagine that. And the holiday, what’s the most American holiday goes before the Fourth of July, Thanksgiving.
That was Thanksgiving is the Hebrew feast of tabernacles taken into America. And so that there’s something unique here.
So the foundation of the House of America is without question dedicated to God dedicated to Messiah for God’s purposes.
That’s what made it unique, not the, not the land, not the economy, not anything else but this Hi, I’m Jonathan Khan and I hope you are blessed with the video.
