23: And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
It is not God's will that his children be sick and afflicted. Anywhere that Jesus went he took the time to stop and heal the sick. He is a never changing God and he will take the time to heal you today. You must ask in faith and believe. When the time came and he knew he would no longer be here to walk with us, he passed this gift of healing on to the disciples.
Luke 9:1-6
1: Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.
2: And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick.
3: And he said unto them, Take nothing for your journey, neither staves, nor scrip, neither bread, neither money; neither have two coats apiece.
4: And whatsoever house ye enter into, there abide, and thence depart.
5: And whosoever will not receive you, when ye go out of that city, shake off the very dust from your feet for a testimony against them.
6: And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.
Many in the church have gotten cold on the Lord and slack in their faith. They no longer fast and pray. They no longer trust in God that he will do what we ask. The word of God teaches us that he never changes. This tells me that the spiritual gifts that he gave to the disciples and those early believers are still active and available to me and you. Paul taught the people that the gifts were for them.
1 Corinthians 12:2828: And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then GIFTS OF HEALINGS, helps, governments, diversities of tongues.
We will not see these gifts active among us until we make ourselves HOLY before God. God said that he would not dwell in an unclean temple. He said that if we are LUKE WARM that he would spew us out. The very taste of something lukewarm is disgusting. God would rather you be a full blown sinner than to be a lukewarm Christian.
Revelations 3:15-16
15: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
15: I know thy works, that thou art neither cold nor hot: I would thou wert cold or hot.
16: So then because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold nor hot, I will spue thee out of my mouth.
Do you need healing today? Do you have lost loved ones that you want to see saved? Do you want a closer walk with God? Do you want to see unity and joy in the church? If you say yes to these questions, then you have a work to do in order to see it done. We need PRAYER WARRIORS like our grandmothers used to be. We need PREACHERS that aren't afraid to stand up and preach the TRUE WORD OF GOD. If we are ever going to start seeing our loved ones healed of diseases, seeing blind to see and crippled to walk then we must start doing our part. We need to be like David and pray no matter what. Our prayer lives need to be active and steadfast. We need to be reading God's word daily and not just a verse or two here and there. If we want an answer from God, we need to spend time fasting and seeking his face. You see GOD NEVER CHANGES so he has never stopped healing the sick. We have just stopped trusting in him and believing that he will do it. We have strayed from the RIGHT PATH.
I encourage you today to find that path again, begin praying and seeking his face, begin reading his word and begin enjoying the gifts that he wants to bestow upon you.
