Tuesday Feb. 28, 2012 Jesus Still Heals!

A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. "I am willing," He said. "Be Clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy.

Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Good Tuesday Morning, my dear sweet brothers and sisters. Let me start today by making this statement right from my heart. I love you folks, I really do!! It is not just something I put at the end each day when I write Love ya. I really do love you, all of you. Tuesday and the day we pray for cures for cancer, heart problems, liver troubles, and all other things that attack our bodies and minds. Please pray today for Stanley, for Sterling and Luella, for Vicki, Dolores. Please pray for our schools today also, I know it is not schools day on the line, but yesterday there was a shooting at a school. (The news people call it a school shooting, but it was not the school that did the shooting or was shot.) Anyway, sometimes when this happens it gives others ideas.

February 28, 2012 Jesus Still Heals! Matthew 8:2 - A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him and said, "Lord, if you are willing, you can make me clean." 3 Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man. "I am willing," He said. "Be Clean!" Immediately he was cured of his leprosy. (NIV) 

Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. (NIV)

Jesus is still in control, and Jesus still heals. Let's take a look at our scriptures of today and see the examples set forth for us. First,  please note how the man with leprosy approached Jesus. He did it with reverence.  As he approached, he knelt down before Jesus. And again, and we just talked about this in the Lord's prayer... You do remember the will of God, right? Look at the man with leprosy, "Lord, if YOU ARE WILLING, you can make me clean." The man is saying, Jesus it is up to You, the man wants to be clean, but seems to understand that it is the will of Jesus that is to be done. How often do we forget when we ask Jesus for something, be it healing or for something else, do we tell Jesus, yes we would love this, but it is Your will and not my will to be done. Jesus reached out His hand and touched the man and made him whole. Now, was I bold to state "Jesus still heals"?  No, not bold, I make the statement in faith and I have backed it up with scripture... Hebrews 13:8 - Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever. As a pastor and even just someone who has been writing on this line a long time, I wait for the Lord to give me a subject, and then to back it up, so that I really know it is the Lord talking to my heart, He gives me scriptures to support the subject He gives me. So when, not if, but when you walk out in faith working for the Lord as we are told to do (Mark 16:15),  support what you tell others, support the good news with scripture.

Dear Father In Heaven. Please, according to Your will for us, hear our prayers for cures for diseases and health problems, and according to Your will for the people on our prayer list, we ask for healing. Thy will be done, Lord, on earth as it is in heaven. In Jesus' name we ask that You be at our schools today and let Your presence be known at the school where the shooting happened yesterday. Lord, help and heal those folks... In Jesus' name I pray. Amen.

Now go forth sharing those blessings and loving on the Lord. Love ya, Pastor Dan.
