Divine Interruptions

Luke 7:12-15  A funeral procession was coming out as he approached the village gate. The young man who had died was a widow’s only son, and a large crowd from the village was with her.13 When the Lord saw her, his heart overflowed with compassion. “Don’t cry!” he said.14 Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. “Young man,” he said, “I tell you, get up.”

15 Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! And Jesus gave him back to his mother.

A few years ago I was preaching to a full house on a Sunday Morning when one of our members fell over into her husbands lap and quit breathing. Talking about interruptions, I said: "What could God be up to this morning?"

A widow was coming through the gate of the village when she crossed paths with Jesus. She was in the funeral procession, on their way to the burial site, but Jesus showed up with compassion.

"Don't cry!" he said. Then he walked over to the coffin and touched it, and the bearers stopped. "Young man" he said, "I tell you, get up"

Then the dead boy sat up and began to talk! Wow, can you imagine the mom's surprise, the crowd was startled by such a miraculous action.

One interruption from the master gave a dead son back to her mom. That's who our Lord is; He is the person who brings divine interruptions to change our broken lives. Nearly all of the miracles of Christ were divine interruptions.

Some of you today need God to interrupt your busy life, your brokenness, your dilemma, your impossibility, your broken marriage, your broken body, your broken ministry, your broken dream.

What could I do after 20 minutes of the church calling on God for a miracle to see this woman live again? Our medical people had tried to revive her, but still no sign of life. As the ambulance and medical team were on the way, one of our medical personal shook their head; "she's gone."

But God had another plan, I felt God lead me to have the people stand and sing, "O victory in Jesus" it wasn't till we sang the second chorus, I heard a scream, "Pat is alive;" she had come back to life.

God could haven chosen anywhere else to have interrupted our lives, but the Lord chose a Sunday morning worship service to reveal himself and to make Himself known. Pat still faithfully attends our church to this day.

Who said there was anything to hard for God? Who said He couldn't open blinded eyes, cause the lame to walk, even raise the dead to life.

Never Never give up on what God has in mind for your destiny. He is still the same yesterday today and forever. God has a plan even when we don't see it. This is the day that the Lord has made, I will rejoice and be glad in it. Where will He interrupt your life today?
