1st Point
Jesus works Miracles which are out in the open
Most other revered religious figures received their vision from God in secret, with items like Golden tablets from Mormonism that know one has ever really seen.
No miracles
No true archeological artifacts
Very Interesting that Jesus operates out in the open for all to see
Unashamed of the Gospel
2nd Point
Jesus removes the barriers of life to get to us
Reckless love of God No wall
He had them move the stone away
Sometimes God utilizes human intervention to perform his works
Sometimes God may use you or I by having us move a barrier that hindering someone’s blessing or deliverance.
Greatest use of man is the preaching of the Gospel
3rd Point
Did I not tell you that if you believed you would see the glory of God
The reason that both unbelievers and believers struggle to see the Glorious works of God is because of unbelief and immaturity.
Unbelievers cannot perceive or understand the truths of God, because they are spiritually discerned and without Gods spirit dwelling in them, Spiritual truth is foolishness to the unbelievers &2.
Believers are called in II Cor to walk by faith and not by sight. This is done by trusting scripture as our guide not our human instincts
Three times Jesus had alluded to the Miracle that he was going to work
· 11:4: “This illness is not unto death; on the contrary, it is for the glory of God, in order that the Son of God may be glorified by means of it.”
· 11:23: “Your brother shall rise again.”
· 11:25, 26: “I am the resurrection and the life, he who believes in me, even though he die, yet shall he live, and everyone who lives and believes in me shall never die; do you believe this?”[1]
When our faith in Jesus and his call on our lives waivers in the mist of difficulties and challenges we should focus on the Word of God and the Works of God

4th Point
Jesus talks to the Father
The importance of Prayer before endeavoring into a work for God
· Confident
· Direct
· His Heart is right
Purpose of the prayer was to show the relationship that he has with the Father so that people may come to believe
Our prayers don’t necessarily have to be loud or audacious, but simple and to the point prayers work as well. What is most important is are our prayers in public used for the purpose of bringing people to faith in God or getting people to have faith in us and our spirituality.
5th Point
The Coming Out Party
When God brings you out, its for people to see, its done in such a way where there is no way you or anyone else can take the glory.
I believe the resurrection of Lazarus in many aspects is a type of how we are delivered by faith from our sinful and will be raised again in the last day.
Notice Lazarus in dead, he is not looking for God, crying out to God nor can he.
As a result of sin regardless of who we are we shall surely face the pangs of death minus the return of Christ
The effectual call of Jesus empowers the dead man back to life
The Logs speaks a rhema WORD that breaks the chains of bondage.
6th Point
Let Loosed
Grave clothes the life we had when we are dead this can be se symbolic loosed from us by his commands
Jesus sets us free from the power of sin and death, the ability to live a spiritual life
Jesus through the power of the spirit will use our lives as a witness to loose people from ungodly thoughts and behaviors
