Pastor’s Blog

In yesterday’s quoted paraphrase, it would seem that God gave a sickness to Paul.  We usually refer to Paul as one of the greatest men that ever lived.  Can you imagine a God of love that would choose a man for such a task as the great Apostle Paul and try to show His Divine love by making him sick? That doesn’t compute with me. IF God made Paul sick, then Paul was the only man in Scripture that God ever did it to.  IF God made him sick, He went against His own teaching concerning healing and divine health for the believers, for instance in 3rd John 2 “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul propereth.” IF He had made Paul sick, (indicating that it must be His will to make His children sick.) then Jesus must have MISSED THE WILL OF GOD by going about healing. Think about it, you may not have an understanding about the “why am I so sick;” but if you will get settled in your mind once and for all, that God is Love and He DOES NOT WANT HIS CHILDREN TO SUFFER; then you can begin to gain knowledge on how to rise above the tests and trials of life.  Think about something if you are a parent would you on purpose put cancer on your child to “teach them something?”  God is a loving Father…He is NOT THE CAUSE NOR THE AUTHOR OF SICKNESS!

SONDAY IS COMING, AND YOU ARE WELL ABLE!

A lot of people today, including Christians believe that Father God is the AUTHOR of sickness.  But, let us take a look at some BIBLE passages and get our thinking in line with the WORD of God.  In Acts chapter 10, we see how God had called Peter, through a vision, to go to the household of Cornelius, a Gentile family, and preach Christ to them.  While he was proclaiming Jesus, the Holy Ghost fell upon all of Cornelius’ household. They were all baptized in the Holy Spirit, spoke with tongues, and magnified God.  The Gentiles were brought into the family of God and into the fullness of the Holy Spirit at the same time. Acts 10:38 “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed of the devil.”  Just from this one Scripture (will get to more) we can see that it is the will of God to heal every time of every disease.   PETER CALLED ALL SICKNESS THE OPPRESSION OF THE DEVIL. So, as some believe that even if Paul was sick, GOD WOULD HAVE HEALED HIM!  Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.” 

The WONDER WOMEN are beginning their first full day on their advance, they are going to have a HOOT IN THE HOLY GHOST!

In Luke 13:11-16, we have the story of a daughter of Abraham, who had been bowed over for eighteen years with a sickness.  This lady came to Jesus and was healed.  This happened on the SABBATH and upset the religious leaders of the day.  It is unfortunate, that I see the same thing today.  When God does a miracle, a healing, raising of the dead (yes it is still happening today) the blind seeing, the deaf hearing the RELIGIOUS BUNCH still get upset.  Why? Because they would have to admit that they are wwwwrrrrrrrooooooooong.  It rubs their theological fur the wrong way, and unfortunately they won’t “turn-around.”

If I NEVER see anyone get healed, I believe that it is available today….if I NEVER see anyone get saved, I believe that it is available today… if I NEVER see anyone delivered, I believe that it is available today! AS IS YOUR FAITH SO BE IT UNTO YOU! Jesus the Lord of the Church said that…I’m going to side with Him, and TAKE HIM AT HIS WORD TO THE BEST OF MY ABILITY…(WHICH IS HIS ABILITY!)  CAN SOMEONE SHOUT AMEN?

Yesterday’s trivia: Simon, Acts 8:9, 18.

You know that you are a Blessing because YOU ARE WELL ABLE!

Even though God says that He doesn’t change, the modern day school of thought has made Him a different kind of God today than when Jesus walked the earth.  Jesus said of the lady who was a daughter of Abraham, that she should be loosed of her infirmities “whom SATAN has bound.”  Jesus said SATAN did it to her.  Peter said, “all sickness is the oppression of the devil.”  Peter also indicated that all of the healing ministry of Jesus was setting people free of the oppression of the devil.  

Both Jesus and Peter tell us that the devil is the author of sickness, and not God.  If you have any question about this, get it settled once and for all in your thinking.   If you do not, the devil is going to keep you bound for the rest of your life.  I am NOT SAYING that if you are sick you are “demon possessed,” but ALL SICKNESS AND DISEASE HAVE THEIR ROOTS IN SATAN!  IT IS NOT THE WILL OF GOD FOR YOU TO BE SICK! 

Yesterday’s trivia: Moses

Today’s trivia: Who did God tell to pick soldiers from the men who lapped water like dogs? Hint: Judges 6-7.

In Deuteronomy Chapter 28 sickness is considered a curse.  BUT, look at Galatians 3:13-14: “Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.”  In the New Testament, there are only three classes of people: Jews, Gentiles and the Church of God. (1 Cor. 10:32)  Before you got born-again, you were classified as a “gentile.”  But, once you received Jesus you became a member of the CHURCH THE BODY OF CHRIST! Then, as we look at Galatians 3:29 “And if ye be Christ’s, then are ye Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.”  We need to develop within ourselves, that sickness is under the curse…Jesus said concerning the daughter of Abraham that satan did it to her.  If your body is experiencing sickness or disease, GOD DIDN’T DO IT!  GOD THROUGH JESUS REDEEMED YOU!

In what is commonly referred to as the “Lord’s Prayer” in Matthew 6:10, Jesus was teaching His disciples to pray,  He said, “Thy will be done in earth, as it is in Heaven.” If it is God’s will for us to be sick in this earth, then it would be God’s will for us to be sick in heaven.  I don’t believe that there are any sick folks in Heaven….do you?  Jesus said that He has come to do the will of Him Who sent Him (the Father God).  What did Jesus do? He went about doing good, healing, delivering and so on. At this point in time, Jesus is now seated at the Right Hand of the Father in Heaven, making intercession for us.  God doesn’t change, Jesus doesn’t change, the Holy Ghost doesn’t change, therefore, Jesus is interceding for us the same way He did while on earth…healing would be a part of that.  If you remove healing for today, you actually do away with Jesus as our intercessor.  In fact, you would have to do away with all the Scripture, because SALVATION is a spiritual healing, and it contains deliverance, wellness, wholeness and on and on.  JESUS IS LORD! 

Praise team practice tonight @5:00 pm, followed by WARFARE ON WEDNESDAY @7:00pm.

If it is the will of God to be sick, then every doctor and every nurse would literally be breaking God’s Law.  God has given man (doctors, nurses, etc.) the knowledge and the ability to try to help one another.  In all of His wisdom and knowledge, He knows that not everybody will receive healing, so He extends His mercy and grace in that way.  But to the child of God, we have a right to receive God’s healing touch.  If it is the will of God for us to be sick, then Jesus missed the will of God by healing people.  Yet, He said, “I come to do God’s will.”  If it is the will of God to be sick, (and we are to love and desire to do the will of God), then we should pray to be sick, then we should not go to the doctor to get well. If it is the will of God to be sick, we shouldn’t take medicine to get well.  If it is the will of God to be sick, and we have a tumor or growth then we ought to pray for a double portion.  See how silly we have come because of tradition? THY WILL BE DONE IN EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN!

If it is the will of God to be sick, then there are many verses in the New Testament that we would have to tear out of the Bible, besides many promises of the Old Testament.  You would have to tear out James 5:14 “Is any sick among you?  let him call for the elders of the church;….” and then in verse 15: “And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and Lord shall raise him up;….” Some churches have torn that one out because in the sense that they don’t practice it.  We would have to tear out Matthew 8:17 where Jesus interpreted Isaiah 53:4 when He said “…..Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.”  Because if it is the will of God for you to be sick, then Jesus couldn’t bear it.  Earlier on I mentioned Galatians 3:13 which says that He bore the curse and Deut. 28 calls sickness a curse.

LET THE REDEEMED OF THE LORD SAY SO…BECAUSE YOU ARE WELL ABLE! 

Yesterday’s trivia: Jesus

Today’s trivia: Who was slain in battle and the dogs licked up his blood? Hint: 1st Kings 22.

Reminder: Brother Ron Roper will be ministering at Jubilee 7pm, Nov. 10th bring someone!

PD & Kathy 

Continuing on from yesterday, you would have to do away with Mark 11:24 “What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them,” because you couldn’t pray for your healing.  We can multiply the number of Scriptures over and over throughout the entire Bible; you would have to do away with a large portion of your Bible if healing is not for today.  Some modern theologians say that Paul had some kind of dreaded eye disease.  This disease was a very gruesome, ugly-looking thing.  As I understand it, this disease would make the eyes full of pus.  Then the pus would drain constantly and run down the face.  Apparently it was so gruesome that no one could stand to look at a person who had it.  So, imagine the Apostle Paul going from synagogue to synagogue, from city to city, to prayer groups, on ships, in the streets, wherever he was, preaching in front of multitudes and them not even able to look at him?  It doesn’t make sense. So….WHAT WAS PAUL’S THORN? (pick up here tomorrow).

Tomorrow is SONDAY….next week, MOD squad, Tuesday @6:30, and Wednesday @7 Ron Roper will be ministering. 

Yesterday’s trivia: Ahab, 1st Kings 22:38.
