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!

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! 

REMINDER: Turn your clocks BACK Saturday night before going to bed…unless you want to get up at 2 a.m.

Yesterday’s trivia: Jezebel, 1 Kings 21:23

Today’s trivia: Who was the woman speaking to when she said:”….the dogs under the table eat of the children’s crumbs.”                            Hint: Mark 6-7.

I believe that they are coming from the North, the South, the East and the West, that God’s House may be full…because       the blinders are being pulled down, and the hungry are needing to be fed…GOD IS WELL ABLE and so are you!

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.

Today’s trivia: Who cautioned His followers not to give holy things to the dogs? Hint: Matthew 6-7.

What time is it? NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME OF THE LORD!                                                                                              What are you going to do today? GOING TO GATHER TOGETHER WITH BELIEVERS AND LIFT UP JESUS!                               

How can you do that? BECAUSE YOU ARE WELL ABLE, AND A DOER OF THE WORD NOT JUST A HEARER!

Yesterday’s trivia: Jesus, Matthew 7:6

Today’s trivia: Who told Moses that no dog would move his tongue against the Israelites in order that they could understand that they were different from the Egyptians? Hint: Exodus 11

Wednesday, Brother Ron Roper will be ministering at 7pm, tell and bring somebody.

So, what was Paul’s “thorn?”  The Word of God CLEARLY tells us.  To say that it was sickness is to insert something into the passage that it does not say.  Some would try to tell us it was God’s way (sickness) of keeping Paul in line.  Paul said VERY PLAINLY WHO WAS THE CAUSE of “the thorn in the flesh”  it was SATAN!  He SAID a “messenger of satan” did it.  He didn’t say God did it.  He put the blame where it belonged.  Let’s look at 2nd Corinthians 12:7 “And lest I should be exalted above measure of the revelations, there was given to me a THORN IN THE FLESH, THE MESSENGER OF SATAN TO BUFFET ME…………”(emphasis mine).  What kind of problems did Paul have? We’ll begin looking at that tomorrow.  If you are a Christian, the world is not going to understand you, they are going to reject you, persecute you, and in a general sense this may not be an easy life.  However, IT CAN BE EASY in the sense that GREATER IS HE THAT IS IN YOU THAN HE THAT IS IN THE WORLD!

Yesterday’s trivia: God, Exodus 11:7.

Today’s trivia: Who said to David: “Am I a dog that you come to me with staves?”  when David came to defeat him with                              stones? Hint one of the Samuels

God is sooooo good!  As Jose received Jesus into his life and became a “new creation,”  it is because of the WELL ABLE CROWD setting the ATMOSPHERE for the Holy Spirit to move. PRAISE THE LORD!

Let’s look at Paul’s ministry to find out what kind of problems he had.  Remember, many people will reject you and not understand you if you live the type of life that Christ wants you to live–the crucified life.  So, let’s look at the the Word of God, and see what problems he had. 2nd Corinthians 6:4-10 “But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses, in stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings; By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned, By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of rigjhteousness on the right hand and on the left, By honour and dishouour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true; As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed; As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.”  Paul talked about the problems, the tests, the tribulations, the persecutions, YET NEVER ONCE DID HE MENTION SICKNESS.  If Paul never mentioned sickness, why should we?  LET THE REDEEMED SAY SO! YOU ARE WELL ABLE! JESUS IS LORD! 

TONIGHT: 6:30 MEN OF DESTINY…chapter four in the study guide, I have some extras if you don’t have one…looking forward to seeing you tonight, as we “KEEP THE DEVIL OUT OF OUR LIVES!”

TOMORROW:  Worship team practice from 5pm to 6:15pm, followed by  RON ROPER WHO WILL BE MINISTERING AT 7:00 PM,

Another passage of scripture to support Paul not being sick is 2nd Corinthians 11:21-29 “I speak as concerning reproach, as though we had been weak.  Howbeit, whereinsoever any is bold, (I speak foolishly) I am bold also.  Are they Hebrews? so am I.  Are they Israelites? so am I. Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in deaths oft.  Of the Jews five time received I forty stripes save one.  Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; In journeyings often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils of false brethren; In weariness and painfulness, in watchings often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness.  Besides those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches.  Who is weak, and I am not weak? who is offended, and I burn not?”

It goes right on into the 12th chapter where Paul calls it his “thorn in the flesh.”  Can you see after naming all those things, he never once mentioned sickness as being one of his problems.  Now, I am not so naive as to say that Paul never had a problem with battling sickness.  Maybe he reached the place of divine health that I believe is possible.  I believe I have known of people who have done it, who have walked in divine health, which is God’s most perfect and divine will for our lives.  GOD IS NOT A RESPECTER OF PERSONS! As is YOUR FAITH so be it unto YOU! 

Yesterday’s trivia: Ishbosheth, 2nd Samuel 3:8.

Today’s trivia: Who asked David who befriended him for his father’s sake, “What is thy servant, that thou shouldest look upon such a dead dog as I am?” Hint: 2nd Samuel 8-9.

Kenneth E. Hagin received healing as a teenager, and lived over SIXTY YEARS in divine health.  I remember him saying one time “that he had a lot of opportunities to be sick, but just didn’t take them.”  The Apostle Paul never once mentioned sickness in 1st Corinthians 4:11-12, “Even unto this present hour we both hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no certain dwelling place; And labour, working with our own hands: being reviled, we bless; being persecuted, we suffer it”  Paul was persecuted, he had hardships and trials, he had testings, was rejected, beaten, stoned, left for dead, but never once did he mention sickness.

MANY THANKS to Ron Roper as he ministered words of life to us at Jubilee last night. What a BLESSING he is!

Yesterday’s trivia: Mephibosheth, 2nd Samuel 9:6-8

Today’s trivia: trying to conceal from him a plan to kill Ben-hadad and become king, who asked Elisha.”….is thy servant a                           dog, that he should do this great thing?”  Hint: 2nd Kings 8

LET EVERYTHING THAT HATH BREATH PRAISE THE LORD! Someone said that if we are breathing we need to be praising the Lord! AND YOU ARE WELL ABLE!

Acts 19:11-12 give us some further insight into Paul’s life.  He had an Apostolic calling, and even had a special anointing to minister to the sick.  “And God wrought special miracles by the hands of Paul: So that from his body were brought into the sick handkerchiefs or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.”  The disease that some claim that Paul was supposed to have had was called (I believe) “Opthalmia,”  a disease of the eyes.  This oriental disease was so gruesome that you could hardly stand and talk to someone who had it and look them in the eye.  This sickness caused unspeakable looking pus to run down over the face.  Can you imagine God performing “special miracles” by Paul when he was so horrible looking from his own sickness that people could not stand to look at him?  It states that handkerchiefs and aprons were taken from Paul’s body and laid on the sick and they were healed.  

Today, if handkerchiefs were taken from a diseased body like Paul was supposed to have, we would burn them to stop the disease from spreading.

TOMORROW: Fall Harvest Festival from 11-3….GET THE WORD OUT! 

Yesterday’s trivia: Hazael, 2nd Kings 8:13-15.
