MLK's Experience of God - Matt. 28:20

This is Namma for Christ with the one hundred twenty-sixth inspirational message dated Monday, January 15th, 2018.  The title of this message is, “MLK’s Experience of God – Matt. 28:20”.
 

The title of this message is also the title of the above anointed video entitled “MLK's Experience of God” as found on the internet’s You Tube videos. 

 

The above video’s message is also the exact same message my Pastor shared with us (in his sermon) in church, on Sunday, January 14th, 2018. When I stumbled upon the video, I realized it was more than just a coincidence, it was “confirmation”. God was confirming to me – “this” is what I was “meant” to share with you!

The scripture for this message comes from Matthew - the 20^th verse of the 28th chapter.  This verse was the last words Jesus said to his disciples, before He ascended back into heaven:

 

Matthew 28:20

New King James Version (NKJV)

²⁰ teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.” Amen

 

The above video depicts Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. at one of his most vulnerable and lowest points of his life. The video describes how he cried out for God’s help, after receiving a phone call of a death threat (to him and his family) threatening to bomb his home. Dr. Martin Luther King prayed and cried out to God.  In the above video, he expresses how he heard from Jesus telling him, “STAND UP for righteousness! STAND UP for justice! STAND UP for truth!  And lo...I will be with you, even to the end of the world…"

Dr. Martin Luther King also states that he heard Jesus tell him, “I will never leave you...I will never leave you alone!” (as found in Hebrews 13:5). In the video, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, also encouraged others to RECOGNIZE YOUR DEPENDENCE ON GOD!

The words from our Lord comforted Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Other comforting and encouraging words from Jesus gave him strength and allowed him to face what was before him. 

Although, his home was later bombed…neither Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. nor anyone in his family were injured. God protected him and his family…God had a purpose and a plan for Dr. Martin Luther King’s life…that man could not alter – until God fulfilled His plan for Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s life.

In the above video – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. stated, “I just want to do God’s will…”

Shouldn’t this be our mission in life, as well – to serve God in whatever way God calls us?

God knows the plans He has for us – as stated below:

Jeremiah 29:11

New International Version (NIV)

¹¹ For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

 

Let us be willing to follow and serve Jesus – for His will to be done in our lives:

1 Peter 2:21

New International Version (NIV)

²¹ To this you were called, because Christ suffered for you, leaving you an example, that you should follow in His steps.

 

Jesus told us, (in the verse below) that in this world we will have trouble – but “be of good cheer, because He has overcome the world”:

 

John 16:33

King James Version (KJV)

³³ These things I have spoken unto you, that in Me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.

 

Please enjoy the above video entitled, “MLK’s Experience of God”. May it uplift, encourage and strengthen you to know that each of us can call out and pray to the Lord during our lowest points and Jesus will be with us, no matter what we are going through.

 

BE BLESSED!
