How you doin? God is
SO GOOD. His never ending resources are mind boggling. We read Matthew 9
this morning. More healing and miracles. AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!! The
things that stood out this morning were, faith, authority, forgiveness
of sins = healing, spiritual healing = physical healing, Gods will, and
the good news of heaven. Light reading today. I'm amazed at the fullness
of Christ and the fullness of scripture.
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” (Matthew 9:2)
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the man, “Take heart, son; your sins are forgiven.” (Matthew 9:2)
Knowing their thoughts, Jesus said, “Why do you entertain evil thoughts in your hearts'? Which is easier: to say, ‘Your sins are forgiven,’ or to say, ‘Get up and walk’? But I want you to know that the Son of Man has authority on earth to forgive sins.” So he said to the paralyzed man, “Get up, take your mat and go home.” Then the man got up and went home. When the crowd saw this, they were filled with awe; and they praised God, who had given such authority to man. (Matthew 9:4-7) COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
On hearing this, Jesus said, “It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. But go and learn what this means: ‘I desire mercy, not sacrifice.’ For I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners.” (Matthew 9:12-13) AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just then a woman who had been subject to bleeding for twelve years came up behind him and touched the edge of his cloak. 21 She said to herself, “If I only touch his cloak, I will be healed.” WOW! What faith and believe. (Matthew 9:20-21)
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. (Matthew 9:22) AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
Jesus turned and saw her. “Take heart, daughter,” he said, “your faith has healed you.” And the woman was healed at that moment. (Matthew 9:22) AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!
As Jesus went on from there, two blind men followed him, calling out, “Have mercy on us, Son of David!” When he had gone indoors, the blind men came to him, and he asked them, “Do you believe that I am able to do this?” “Yes, Lord,” they replied. Then he touched their eyes and said, “According to your faith let it be done to you” (Matthew 9:27-29) I say and want to say even more, "yes Jesus".
Jesus went through all the towns and
villages, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the
kingdom and healing every disease and sickness. 36 When he saw the crowds, he had compassion on them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. (Matthew 9:35-36)
God has
been teaching me my identity. I'm praying to receive His love in full,
so I can receive His authority. I believe His authority will free me of
things of this world, or demonic oppression. In His authority, I can
withstand demonic attack. I love being free of anything NOT of God. I
never want to pray the soft pray, "God's will be done". I want to
understand God's will and receive the authority through Christ to live
in it. First comes love, so to be sure the authority is used correctly.
Used for God's glory. Jesus came to heal ALL disease and sickness. Jesus
could only do God's will. Everything He did was for God's glory. I
don't believe it is God's will for people to be diseased, handicap,
sinful, or detached from Him. His will is for ALL to be saved, healed,
and delivered. I do believe God can draw good from a bad situation,
which can lead to testimony of God's grace, mercy, and power. The way
salt draws moisture out of something dead or dying. Salt draws moisture
from a dead piece of steer's muscle tissue (meat). Or a dying melon cut
from it's vine. God's refining fire can make it better as well. Seared
meat or caramelized meat taste great. This goes on forever. I love the
sanctification process. I pray that we as Christian or, "Christ-ins",
can start receiving God's love so to receive His authority. COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
