Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and
forever.
Good Tuesday Morning, my dear brothers and sisters. It is a
wonderful, beautiful morning here at the Southern Location of the North Pole. Tuesday and the day we pray for God to furnish a cure for
every disease and sickness. Pray also this day for Michelle who has
cancer.
PRAISE REPORT. Dolores went to the doctors yesterday for her
checkup on her kidneys which requires a blood test, and then she gets shots to
keep the blood in line so her kidneys do not go down hill more. She is in
third stage kidney failure. Yesterday her blood work was so good, that she did
not need to get the shots. Quoting the doctor, "Your blood is too good for a
shot today." All honor and glory to our Lord Jesus who is still healing. I
have my appointment today to have my knees injected again and make the final
preparation for surgery on my right hand. I also want to schedule the date for
replacement of my right knee.
Jesus Heals the Sick: 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. (NIV)
Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today
and forever. (NIV)
As we look at the scriptures of today, let us first look for
the examples Jesus is setting for us. Right away we see Jesus is teaching and
preaching, and what is He teaching and preaching? The Good News of the
Kingdom!! I want to bring this scripture out to you on this day. This would be Jesus sending out His disciples.
Mark 16:15 - Jesus said to them, "Go into all the world and
preach the Good News to all creation." 16 "Whoever believes and is baptized
will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned."
Now, I brought this out to you as an example of what we should
be preaching. No, the example is not mine, it is Jesus not just telling us what
to preach and teach, or sing about, but He is showing us. Going on with the
scripture, we see that Jesus was healing EVERY disease and sickness among the
people. He did not heal one thing and not the other, He healed them all. Again
it says "Jesus was healing EVERY DISEASE AND SICKNESS. So some might say, well, that was back then and this is now, and brothers and sisters, I know some would
say that, so I brought out the scripture from Hebrews which tells us Jesus is
the same yesterday, today and forever.
One thing some of us lack today is faith, faith that Jesus
will heal us. I am not telling you not to see a doctor, for sometimes Jesus
heals through the hands of others, sometimes direct healings, other times it
could come through the hands of the doctors. As we go through the Bible and
look at scriptures where Jesus is healing folks, I don't think we will find one
time where people say anything like, I don't think He will heal me. I know, folks, that it does not always happen as fast as we think it should, but folks,
Jesus still heals this day. I want to give you two examples of healing just on
Carry The Light Ministries Team. Pam has been healed from breast
cancer and I have been healed from prostate cancer.
Then there is the big sickness, and Jesus still heals from
that one also. Do you know what that big sickness might be? Well come back
tomorrow and we are going to talk about that.
Calling of His disciples. It happened long ago as the men
are now up in age. They were classmates in a Bible College and they were
singing together. Just those young men who wanted to work for God... I don't
know their early story other than Jesus asked them to lay down their nets and
follow Him. The men I understand picked Central Pennsylvania as their
base and brought their Southern Style and also a style all of their own gospel
music to this area, and they never left this area as their base. I met these
gentlemen back in 1981 when Dolores took me to a "gospel concert" on our second
date. I took her on a motorcycle ride for our first date. These gentlemen
started singing when the dead sea was still sick and the streets were still
dirt, and they are still out their singing. Their voices as rich as ever and
their mission just as strong, still preaching, teaching and singing the good
news. They have sung all over the world, even in Russia. They, I understand, even did the church service at, at least one NASCAR race. Do you know who
these men are that answered the call? They have set many fine examples and
like the gentleman from yesterday had a lot to do with what I do today.
Yesterday I had several people email me and tell me they
thought that I had described my good friend Timothy Beitzel, and those who
guessed that were correct... He is still out there working for Jesus in all he
does.
Dear Father in Heaven, forgive me of my sins, and Lord, forgive
all who ask in faith this day, help us to repent and turn from sins. Lord, be
with all those who have answered the call to be a disciple for You. Please
look over our prayer requests and answer them according to Your will and not
ours. Thanks for the good report on Dolores. All honor and glory to You. In
Jesus' name, Amen.
Now go forth and share your blessings, keeping Your faith and
your eyes on the Lord. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
