June 11, 2010 Healing and Anointing 3

By His wounds we are healed! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE YELL OUT "THANK YOU JESUS"!

Good Friday Morning, my dear brothers and sisters, and it just is Friday Morning as it is 8 minutes past midnight. And folks, it is a beauty already. Ah, Friday and the day we pray for all those working in the fields of Harvest for our Lord Jesus. I want to take just a minute to thank all of you who read the messages daily, and all who take the time once in a while to write a little note.

I want to remind you all that on July 3rd we are having a family picnic at Willow Mill Park in Silver Spring Twp. The park is about 2 minutes from route 81 at the Mechanicsburg Exit. You may bring your family and your lawn chair. Food is furnished, burgers, dogs, maybe some soup, and we will be having the famous Allenberry Sticky Buns. We will also have water and sodas to drink. Please note, while the food is furnished, NONE is coming from our food pantry; however, all the leftovers will go into the food pantry. Dolores and I are getting up in years, she is 35 and I am 29 -- ok add 40 to both -- and it could be the last big thing like this we do. I would truly love to meet you...

This Sunday I will be preaching on Healing and Anointing at our services at the Bridges, and you are welcome. Service time is 10.00 AM. For directions to The Bridges or the Park, email me or call me.

Healing and Anointing 3: Isaiah 53: 4 - Surely He hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed. (KJV)

Brothers and sisters, most often when we talk about healing and we have prayer requests for healing and we pray for healing it is about sickness, broken bones, accidents, cancer, heart problems, kidneys, etc. However, true healing, healing of our soul from our sins and saving our souls is the very bottom line why Jesus died on the cross. While Jesus showed us while living here on earth that He had/has the power of healing us from all of life's boo boos, it is our sin that we need to have healed and I believe healed first. I mean what good is it at all if we are cured from cancer, cured from a bad heart, cured from liver problems, kidney problems, breathing problems and we live to be 110 and then die from old age and go to hell? Makes no sense to me at all, and in fact I will take this daily pain I live with and carry it if that is what God has in mind for me, and I will have patience in my suffering, knowing that I am indeed born again and some sweet day when I pass from this earth I am going to be pain free, live in a mansion and sit at a table to eat with my dear sweet Jesus..

I have sat bedside with a lot of people who were very, very ill and I talked to their loved ones and said, "Do you know if we pray for total healing we are indeed asking Jesus to call the loved one home?" While I have seen God's healing hand heal many people and leave them here, I have also seen when we pray for total healing that within even hours they were with the Lord.

Let me just talk a little about the "gift of healing". You do know that God has given the gift of healing to many people, however, the gift still goes through our Lord Jesus, as all gifts do. Let me borrow the statement from Russ Limbaugh. It is "Talent on Loan from God." I would ask all of you to read from 1 Corinthians 12:1/11 but for today I am just bringing out a few verses.

1 Corinthians 12:7 - Now to each one the manifestation of the Spirit is given for the common good. 8 To one there is given through the Spirit the message of wisdom, to another the message of knowledge by means of the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of HEALING by that one Spirit. (NIV)

Now there are more gifts and each are very, very important and the Bible does use the word given, but if we do not use those gifts we might just lose them and that is why I did quote the term loan.

Now I brought this up because we, (we=you and me) or at least most of us go to doctors and we pray that God uses them to help heal us and make us feel better. And there are those who through the power of the Holy Spirit can lay hands on someone and pray for someone and God heals them. This is why I don't laugh when I see some of those people on Television who pray for people to be healed. Folks, this is in the Bible. And let me tell you that if I did not think that God heals directly, heals through doctors and/or through the hands of those He has trusted with the gift, I would not be preaching about it and then praying for healing and anointing people this week.

In wrapping up this short session on healing, I do want you to remember this... Regardless of what your sickness is, regardless of your pain level, regardless of your problems in life, regardless of what ails you, we have Jesus, a comforter, a healer, and one who has died for us on the cross. So today I want to close up in prayer, and we need to make this an "I" prayer. We need to be asking Jesus each on our own. So just relax, sit back, and pray with me today, and brothers and sisters, I tell you, don't ever, ever give up. Alison, don't give up, Ron, don't give up, Blanch, don't give up. Pastor Charles, don't give up... Sharon and Bob, don't give up, God can have you both to walk again. Vicki, don't you give up... Donna, Todd, Roy, Beverly, don't you guys give up. Dolores, my wonderful wife, don't give up, God can straighten that back again. Tim, don't give up, God will have you preaching in a short time. If you have a wayward child, don't give up... and no, I am not giving up either. We shall all push on, for we have Jesus and HE'S COMING BACK SOON...

Dear Father in Heaven, first today I ask for forgiveness of all my sins, and I ask that You help me repent and help me to stop sinning. I ask that You help me walk with You all the time, and talk with You more and more each day, and I ask that You help me listen when You speak to me. I ask that You heal my mind, my soul and my body for all things even if I don't know they are there. Lord, take away pain, and Lord, help me work more and more for You each day. And Lord, hear the prayers of all who are asking right now from this line, and in the mighty, mighty name of Jesus through the power of the Holy Spirit, I ask for healing to all who ask. AMEN.

Now go forth, and expect to see prayers answered, and folks, when someone asks if God heals, please tell them yes, and if they ask have you been healed by God, please say yes, for if you are born again you have been healed of sins. And if someone asks how you know if God heals, tell them first you have faith in it because it is in the Bible and then ask them, who heals a broken bone? Doctors can only set broken bones, they heal by the power of God. Who heals a wound after a doctor stitches it shut? Jesus heals it. Who puts the scab on a brush burn? Jesus... Now go forth and share your blessings and share the love of Jesus and even consider sharing this message... God heals, have faith in Him. God heals and God Saves... Amen. love ya, Pastor Dan.
