Dr. Price with guest Terry Albright (Part 1)

Dr. Bill Bailey and Dr. Price continue to explore our position in Jesus Christ, and take on the challenge of reaching the world in modern times and how God created the universe!

Dr. Bill Bailey and Dr. Price continue to examine what it means to be “in Christ!” We live the supernatural life of God in our Lord Jesus Christ!

Dr. Price and his guest, Dr. Bill Bailey, talk about redemptive truths from the Word of God. Who are we in Christ? What does it mean to be blessed? And, what does the “Lordship” of Jesus mean in our lives.

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him: I will set him on high, because he hath known my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him: I will be with him in trouble; I will deliver him, and honor him.    –(Psalm 91:14-15)

God is called by many names. He is the Lord, our Healer, our Provider, our Banner, and our Righteousness. He also promises to be our Deliverer. In this troubled world that may very well be what we need Him to be most often.
But there are many believers who never experience God’s mighty delivering power because, instead of walking closely with Him day by day, they wait until danger strikes to call upon Him. That just doesn’t work. If you want God to rescue you in the bad times, you have to fellowship with Him in the good times. Why? Because God responds to faith. Our faith, not our need, is what causes Him to act on our behalf. And we’ll never be able to develop that kind of faith, that kind of trust and confidence in Him, if we don’t spend enough time with Him to get to know Him.
First John 3:20-22 tells us that we have confidence toward God when we do the things that are pleasing in His sight. If we only serve God half-heartedly, then we will not have confidence in Him to deliver us from trouble. When danger surrounds us, instead of being filled with faith, we’ll find ourselves paralyzed with fear. 

Love and serve God with your whole heart. Walk closely with Him in the good times. Then, when you need Him to be your Deliverer, you’ll know without a doubt you can trust Him to care for you!

JESUS CAME TO SET THEM FREE

And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give. –(Matthew 10:7-8)

There are those who’ve said that some of the diseases that are on the rampage right now, diseases such as AIDS, are God’s way of punishing immoral people today. There is absolutely no scriptural basis for that!
God does not bring disease on the human race. In fact, if there’s anybody in heaven and earth who hates it, it’s Jesus. The devil is the one who’s trying to tell us otherwise. He’s promoting a lie, trying to get us to believe God is the one who’s inflicting these diseases on people because he knows that if the victims believe that, it will drive them further from God than ever. And that’s his aim.
It’s time you and I as believers put a stop to that lie. Some time ago, the Lord spoke to my heart and told me so. He said, “Reach out to those who are suffering. Let them know I didn’t do this to them. Let them know I’m their Deliverer!”
That word was not just for me, it was for the whole Body of Christ. We need to tell people who’ve been afflicted with AIDS or any such disease that Jesus is Lord over it. We need to tell them that God loves them dearly, and He has the desire and the power to heal them.

God is not responsible for the suffering we’re seeing around us. That’s just a nasty lie the devil is passing around. And if you and I do our job right, very soon another word is going to start spreading through the streets. The news is going to get out that Jesus Christ is not their captor, He’s the One who can set them free!

NO TIME FOR CLAY POTS

But in a great house there are not only vessels of gold and of silver, but also of wood and of earth; and some to honor, and   some to dishonor.                      –(2 Timothy 2:20)

Are you destined for greatness in the kingdom of God?
Ask most believers that question and they’ll humbly assure you they’re not. “You know we can’t all be golden vessels” they’ll say. “Like the Bible says, some of us are just called to be little clay pots.”
Praise God, the Bible doesn’t say any such thing!
Certainly there are going to be some golden vessels in the kingdom and there are going to be some clay pots, but we are the ones–not God–who determine which kind we will be. Second Timothy 2:21 tells us that “whoever cleanses himself [from what is ignoble and unclean]–who separates himself from contact with contaminating and corrupting influences– will [then himself] be a vessel set apart and useful for honorable and noble purposes, consecrated and profitable to the Master, fit and ready for any good work” (AMP).
Golden vessel or clay pot, the choice is up to you!
Why then do so many believers choose to do menial work in the kingdom of God? Why are they content to remain clay pots?
Because they lack one thing every golden vessel must have. They lack dedication. They haven’t made a quality decision to separate themselves from contaminating influences. They haven’t been willing to turn away from the ways of the world and go on with God past the point of no return. 

My friend, God is doing some exciting things on this earth right now. He’s working signs and wonders, paving the way for Jesus’ return. This is a thrilling time, but it’s definitely no time for clay pots! So if you haven’t yet made the kind of commitment that will turn you into a golden vessel, admit it. Then take the time to get before God and study His Word and get your will in line with His. Let the Holy Spirit deal with you until you’re willing to leave the ways of the world behind and walk in higher ways–the ways of God.
Do it now. The hour is late. The glory of God is spilling over the earth in one final thrilling wave. It’s not trickling out of clay pots. It’s being poured through golden vessels–and that’s exactly what God is calling you to be.
