Thanksgiving Eve. 2009

Is any one of you sick?

Good Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. Happy Thanksgiving Eve, and may I give you this advice as you travel this weekend, be it to the malls or across town or across the state and beyond. First pray and then after praying HANG UP THE PHONE and drive, keeping your mind on the driving. Pass that phone off to another or TURN IT OFF. And all the really good safe drivers said... AMEN.

Are you ready with a drop of oil and your juice and bread? Let's get started.

Thanksgiving Eve. 2009: James 5:13 - Is any one of you in trouble? He should pray. Is anyone happy? Let him sing songs of praise. 14 Is any one of you sick? He should call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 And the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven. 16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective. (NIV)

Dear brothers and sisters, this is the scripture where I have been given the authority for the anointing of oil and the prayers for healing. But let me get it straight, as a worker for the Lord, I feel, and this is my opinion, when working for the Lord, you are a member, a working member, of the Church of Christ, The Church of God, and I am not talking denomination here, folks, I am talking the church of our Lord Jesus. The one we must be part of to make it to Heaven. You have the ability and the knowledge and, yes, the Lord's blessings to pray for others when it comes to all things in the Bible. Praying for others is not just for Pastors and elders of your local church. Read Mark 16:15 where we are ORDERED into the fields of harvest. Ok, so let's get started with the anointing part of this message today. First you and only you know of all your sins as I am sure that I am the only one that knows all of my sins except for our Lord Jesus, of course. He knows us all, folks, and that should scare the britches right off of us. This for today is the healing that I am going to today, the healing of our sinful souls and minds. Once we get the sins out of the way, once we get that trash off of our backs, our minds, and our hearts, we will move on to the healing of our bodies. Now folks, as always, we must do it in faith, let me repeat it, we must do this in faith. Let's pray, and this is an I prayer, not a we prayer...

Dear Father in Heaven, Thanks for this day and right now Lord I ask that You forgive me of my sins. I know that You are aware of each one of them and I ask that right now You wash me clean with the Blood of Jesus. Thank You Lord for doing this... In Jesus Name I pray... Amen.

Now brothers and sisters with that drop of oil, please put a cross right on your forehead and pray these words... I am doing this in the name of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit... Amen

Now folks in the same way I want you now to go to our Lord Jesus, and please if you do not have the faith that God will heal you, then why pray? It is time to ask God, while you are clean of sins, to heal your body of what ails you. Remember in this prayer to ask as we should always to do to us according to God's will for us. As it tells us in the Lord's prayer, the prayer Jesus taught us to pray, "Thy will be done on earth as it is in Heaven." Now you are on your own right now as I am also... I am going to open the prayer and close it, that way you can pray as long as you want..

Dear Father in Heaven, please heal my body of the following, -------------------------------------- -------------------- -------------- In Jesus name I ask these things... Amen...

You know, my brothers and sisters, throughout the Bible we have seen where God healed and when Jesus walked the earth He healed and folks He has given the authority over to his disciples to heal in the name of Jesus. Folks, don't laugh when you see a person like Benny Hinn putting hands on people. Is it real? Let me tell you that God has given the healing powers to people and those who have it must always remember that it comes from God, it is coming through the hands of those doing the anointing, but it is Jesus. Remember if we have the faith of the mustard seed we can move the mountain if we ask in faith and in the name of our Lord Jesus. So many people forget that our Lord Jesus is the same today as He was when He walked this earth, and that to me means He is still in the healing business. Now let us join with Jesus and His disciples in the Upper Room. For this I am going to the book of Luke and I would like you to read on your own from Chapter 22: 1/38. I am just going to type out the communion part as we think of it. I want you to remember now that we are clean of our sins and we are coming to the table of the Lord clean and this must be done all the time when we come to the Lord. Also remember this when the Lord tells us to eat and remember Him. We need to always remember Jesus when we break bread. Always pray before those meals, and folks, we need to pray always in the name of Jesus. Not just amen in closing or in His name. Folks, for this read John 14:6 where it tells us that the only way to The Father is through The Son. That to me is not just getting our self into heaven, that to me means prayer requests and all we want done and pray for. I believe that our prayers stop at the gate if we do not let Jesus carry them in. Meaning if we are praying in the name of anyone else they go unheard. Sorry folks, that is the way I read it. If you disagree, please let me know. I want to see in the Bible where you get that information. Pray in the name of Jesus only and always. Now are you ready with to do the communion with me? Here we go.

Luke 22: 19 - And He took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying "this is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me." Take your bread and eat it now.

Luke 22: 20 - In the same way, after the supper He took the cup, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you." Now take your juice and remember it is the blood of Jesus and drink it.

Now brothers and sisters, we have come to the real Thanksgiving table, we have been blessed by the Lord, and I ask you this, when you sit down to eat tomorrow, why not have communion? There will be bread on the table, take a cup of juice and just pass it around for each to take a sip. That was how it was really done. And remember first to pray for forgiveness of sins. And one other thing, set a place at the table for Jesus, a full setting that no one sits at and put it at the head of the table. We have done that before and it is special.

Folks, communion is always special, I don't know how many of you communion on line with me, or even might think it is silly. For some this is their church and I pray they are doing this. When we have on line communion Dolores and I always have it together as we just now did. Let's pray.

Father in Heaven, as we go into this Thanksgiving Eve, I pray a prayer of thanksgiving for all, thanking You for all things good and most of all for our Lord Jesus and for this Communion setting we just had... It sure is special. Thanks, in the name of Jesus, I pray...

Now folks, go forth sharing your blessings, driving with care and yes, I will write again tomorrow. Might be later in the day. One last thing, our family list went over 100 yesterday and we are still having people ask us for help for Christmas. Do we cut the amount for each or keep praying for more food and dollars to come in? we are walking forward in faith. God Bless you and keep you, and cause His face to shine upon you and give you peace... Love ya, dan.
