January 21, 2010: The Journey 35

People brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, AND HE HEALED THEM!

Good Friday Morning to you, my dear brothers and sisters. Friday is the day we pray for all those who work in the fields of Harvest for our Lord Jesus, the Disciples we have been talking about this week.

Again, prayer requests and updates will be listed at the end of the message.

The Journey 35: Matthew 4:23 - Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. 24 News about Him spread all over Syria and people brought to Him all who were ill with various diseases, those suffering severe pain, the demon possessed, those having seizures, and the paralyzed, AND HE HEALED THEM! Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and today and forever. (NIV)

While Jesus was calling His disciples, He was also teaching and preaching the Good News of the Kingdom, and that good news is the same good news that we are under a command from Him to take out to the world. (Mark 16:15) The most important part of the good news is that Jesus is the same and of course salvation though Him and HEALING through Him. Jesus will not fail us folks, He just will not if we just keep our faith. We have prayer requests coming across this line all the time, and today I really want to point out that prayer and faith really works. I have had direct healings and healings from God that have come through the hands of doctors who have their talent LOANED to them by Jesus. Brothers and sisters, any doctor worth their salt knows full well that God is helping them in all they do and will give the glory to God. I want you also to know that I had cancer and it is gone, I am clear and I have just two more years to wait and I can go back to donating blood.

I want to point out just a few things from these scriptures that God has directed me to today. First the one from Hebrews 13:8 where we learn that Jesus is the same yesterday, and today and forever and ever... Meaning that all the things recorded in the Bible that He did then, HE IS STILL DOING. Now let's just look at a few of those things. He healed and is still healing people with EVERY DISEASE, which includes but is not limited to CANCERS, broken bones, depression, minor colds, major flu, kidneys, liver, heart problems, sugar problems, eating disorders, drinking disorders, drug related sickness tumors, brain injuries, birth defects, you name the health problem and Jesus can and will heal it ACCORDING TO HIS WILL AND PLANS FOR US. Folks, if you do not think God heals, look at this, when a person breaks a bone, a doctor can line it up, put it in a cast, but who heals it? CASE CLOSED ON THAT ONE... God heals it.

Do you know that ALL OF US have had the healing hand at one time or other from our Lord Jesus? First of all, when He made us He built in a system that will fight off those things, our autoimmune systems. He also has healed us from things that we never knew were wrong with us. And sometimes we must, yes, we must push past pain and keeping working for Jesus. Not always easy to do, but we really need to do it. Brothers and sisters, I truly believe in the healing hand of Jesus, I am not writing this message to just make you feel good, or to make me feel good, I am writing it because I believe it and know it is in the Bible and that should excite you. I have also seen it, and I have as I told you, been blessed with His healing hand. I have also had two grandkids that were in accidents, that were given back to us, one had to be restarted on the road at the scene of an accident and a person was right there that knew how to do it. Only Jesus can line things up like that. So brothers and sisters, you who have those Cancers, Heart Problems and other problems KEEP YOUR FAITH AND NEVER STOP WALKING WITH JESUS.

Over the years on this line we have prayed for and seen answered prayer for people who were in accidents and were in comas for long periods of time, months and they woke and are now living happy, normal, productive lives. Recently we have seen what happened with Skip Shoemaker and with Douglas Boyer who were healed by the mighty hand of God. And Yes, I have been with people and prayed with them for healing and God called them on home, they were saved and ready to go home.

A year ago I was called on to start planning a funeral for a lady at The Bridges, she was given less than a week, and was at the Bridges with hospice care. I went in to pray for her, leaned over her and with her family there I prayed and prayed and then starting singing Amazing Grace, and this lady, who had not eaten or communicated with anyone, starting singing with me... Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, when I was done praying I said to the family I think we are going to have her for a while. She is in the front row in church each week, and although she has memory issues, she seems to be getting better and better each week... TO GOD BE THE GLORY, not me!

Folks those of you on the line who are sick, or have friends who are sick, GIVE IT TO JESUS and have faith, expect the healing, expect the healing hand of Jesus, claim the victory in advance, for it is coming. Yes, go to your doctors, and take your medications, for some are healed directly and some through the hands of Jesus and remember to give God all the Glory, and remember this. Each day we have on this earth is a blessing, please live it for our Lord, live it to help others even if you are in need of help yourself. God is ALIVE AND WELL and working. Remember in healing the first thing you really need healed is from those sins, so pray daily for Jesus to heal them for we do indeed mess up daily. Then repent and do the very best you can to walk with Jesus. Walk on the right side of the line, not on the line or on the side of evil or be crossing back and forth. Then get on your knees and ask God to heal all that is wrong with You, tell Him You would really appreciate a clean bill of health, and make God a promise and keep it, tell Him you will walk with Him and speak up and tell the good news, EVEN IF HE IS NOT READY TO HEAL YOU RIGHT AWAY. Walk out there in faith. BELIEVE IT FOLKS, IT IS IN THE BIBLE, AND JESUS IS THE SAME TODAY... YES, HE IS ALIVE AND WELL TODAY AND HIS ARMS ARE OPEN FOR YOU. Will some of you just stop and yell out AMEN?

Jesus, dear Jesus, we want to walk with You and talk with You and ask You to heal us from our sins and then heal us from pain and from cancer and from heart problems and from depression and we are asking You to help us find jobs, find work as we do not just want jobs, we want to work, and we want to work for you. And Lord we want to work for You now, we are not wanting to try and make a deal that if You heal us, we will work for You, no, no, Lord, we want to work for You now and take Your healing for us when it is in Your will for us. Lord, heal all on our prayer list, and Lord, protect those disciples of today who are working all over the world and right in our homes today. Oh Jesus, I, for one, Love You and I pray all on the line can pray this with me... I love You, Jesus, thanks for taking care of us... and thanks for this line, in Jesus name, Amen.

Go forth, rejoicing in the healings that are coming, and go forth sharing your blessings knowing and having faith that each one that you share will be replaced by many more... Love ya, Pastor Dan.
