Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. So He bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them.
Good Tuesday Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is Tuesday and I am late again, had to get my vehicle inspected and make a call on a veteran at the Bridges. Today being Tuesday is the day we pray for Jesus to cause cures for things like cancer and heart problems. Please take a look at a request I received from one of our prayer warriors, I call him Big John Henry. "In memory of our moms, dads, brothers and sisters, friends and loved ones of whom there are so many. This year has been one with too many diagnoses too close to home. For all the friends, family, loved ones, and those we don't even know... A small request... Just one line. Dear God, I pray for a cure for cancer. Amen. This coming Friday is world cancer day"... I am putting this out today because it is our day to pray for a cure... Please note I did change the order of his request a tad.
Praise Report, please, please take time to go to the end of the message today and look at the young man we pray for that was injured really bad in a car crash on Labor Day. Praise God. It is word for word as I received it.
The Big Trip 7-2 Jesus Heals: Luke 4:38 - Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon's mother-in-law was suffering from a high fever, and they asked Jesus to help her. 39 So He bent over her and rebuked the fever, and it left her. She got up at once and began to wait on them. (NIV)
As we follow the life of Jesus, and I am sure we will not always have it in the order it occurred, today we are going to look at one of those first healings, one of the first miracle healings. Yesterday we talked about Jesus driving out demons and it was just one place in the Bible and we will talk more and more about God's healing hands... We notice today that Simon's mother-in-law had a high fever, and most of us I am sure have had high fevers. I can remember holding our kids on my lap in those tender years with a cool wet cloth on their heads to help break a high fever. I also remember having high fevers and when you have one, you are weak and you just want to stay in bed till you get rid of it. Take this, take that, drink a lot of fluids, was the doctors orders. And when the fever would break you would be soaked and hot and sweaty, and you for days did not get up to strength. But when Jesus, our Lord and Savior and healer, rebukes the fever I want you to notice that this lady got right up and went to work. I am sure that all of us believe and wish that when we had a problem Jesus would just reach out and touch us and heal us. I don't know why He heals some right away and others wait, but I do know it is in His will we should pray and it is in His time that He heals us. I know I do believe in the direct healing of Jesus, just like happened to Simon's mother-in-law. I know others do also. It happened on the golf course when a pastor was playing a round with a few friends, and the friends were talking about a stiff shoulder, a bad knee and a bad back. The pastor laid hands on the first one with a bad shoulder asking Jesus to heal him, and that man said the shoulder felt better at once. Then the pastor, again in the name of Jesus, touched the bad knee of another one of his friends and at once the knee was feeling better. Then the pastor went to the man with the bad back and was ready to pray in the name of Jesus for him to be healed, when the man said wait a minute, pastor, please do not pray for me, I am on workers comp!!! While that story is a joke there are some folks who truly do not want to be completely healed, because they are enjoying playing golf and/or doing other things while collecting some benefits.
Tomorrow we will look at more of those healings by our Lord Jesus. Again I want to remind you that Jesus still heals, and I know He does this because it tells us in the Bible that Jesus is the same today as He was back then and tomorrow He will still be the same. So if you are praying for healing, keep your faith, it is coming, it really is. Dolores and I have faith it will and I have already been healed from cancer.
Dear Father in Heaven, we pray today for the cure for cancer and those other diseases and we pray that those healed are cleared of all that is wrong. The first healing I am praying for today is that folks will come to You and be healed of sins, and Lord, we sure will give all the honor and glory to You. I again give You honor and praise and glory for all you do for us. In the name of Jesus, I pray. Amen.
Now go forth and share those blessings, and pray for healing and then rise and be healed in the name of Jesus.. Now read on for a praise report. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
Well today has been a wonderful day well it had a wonderful ending. You all should remember Zach the man that was injured badly in the bad car wreck on labor day ? Well remember how we all prayed and prayed for him? Well the guys kept telling me tonight that they had a surprise for me and I kept saying telling what the surprise is and they said no then it wont be a surprise. Well when nick got off work he went to pick up Zach and bring him here. And I only knew that nick was coming here after he got off work. Well here came zack in the door first and then nick. I was over whelmed with happy ness. He walked into my home with no longer a walker or cane and sat on my loveseat he looks amazing he looks wonderful I cried when he left I was so happy. To think how bad he was 4 months ago and then to see him walk into my home was major prayers answered. Please all continue to keep him in your prayers but they sure are working. I will attach a picture of him to let you all see how great he looks and is doing. And remember his pelvis was shattered and bleed in his brain and all the time he was barely alive in ICU well he is doing great. Please continue the prayers for me also. Still dealing with health issues . Love you all Vicki
With God all things are possible
Love Vicki
