HAVE YOU CLAIMED YOUR HEALING

HAVE YOU CLAIMED YOUR HEALING

READ 3RD JOHN VERSE 2
THAT THOU MAYEST PROSPER AND BE IN HEALTH

READ JOHN 10-10
I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY

THROUGHOUT THE WORD OF GOD WE FIND PROMISES FOR HEALING HEALTH AND PROSPERITY

IT IS GODS WILL FOR US TO BE WELL AND ENJOY HEALTH AND LIFE IN IT’S FULLEST

ONLY WHEN WE KNOW AND UNDERSTAND GOD’S PROMISES CAN WE APPLY THEM TO OUR HEALTH AND LIVES.

YOU MUST KNOW WHAT THE WORD SAYS AND MEANS.

OUR GOD THAT HEALS, IS THE SAME GOD THAT IS ABLE TO SUSTAIN YOU AND KEEP YOU HEALTHY

HE CAN SUSTAIN YOU FOR A DAY, A MONTH OR A YEAR, OR EVEN A LIFETIME… IT IS ALL ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH

WHEN THE DEVIL PUTS A THOUGHT OF SICKNESS IN YOUR MIND, DON’T CONFESS IT

WHEN YOU CONFESS SICKNESS OR DISEASE, IT ACTUALLY SHOWS THAT YOU BELIEVE IN SICKNESS MORE THAN YOU BELIEVE IN GODS WORD.

JUST AS HEALING IS RECEIVED BY FAITH… SO IS HEALING KEPT BY FAITH

CHRISTIANS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE WALKING IN DEVINE HEALTH

THE ONLY THING SATAN CAN DO IS WORK THRU THOUGHTS AND SUGGESTIONS OR CONVINCE YOU WITH SYMPTOMS…

IF YOUR LISTENING TO THE WORD OF THE WORLD, AND NOT THE WORD OF GOD.. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO WHEN THE WORLDS SYSTEM CRUMBLES…

AND IT WILL… SATAN WILL LET YOU DOWN, THE WORLD SYSTEM WILL LET YOU DOWN..DR.S PRACTICING MEDICINE…

ONLY FAITH IN GODS WORD AND HIS KINGDOM WILL SUSTAIN YOU IN THESE PERILESS TIMES.

 1ST PETER 2:24    Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

ISAIAH 53: 5   But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

ISAIAH SAYS WITH HIS STRIPES WE ARE HEALED

1ST PETER SAYS… BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED

ISAIAH WAS SAYING THERE IS COMING A SAVIOR THAT BY TAKING STRIPES WE CAN BE HEALED.

THIS WAS WRITTEN 700 YEARS BEFORE THE CROSS

1ST PETER IS SAYING, BECAUSE JESUS FULFILLED THIS PROPHESY.. BY HIS STRIPES WE WERE HEALED

ALL WE NEED TO DO IS HAVE FAITH IN WHAT JESUS HAS ALREADY DONE.. IT WAS SETTLED AT CALVARY

SICKNESS AND DISEASE IS A DEMONIC CURSE

CANCER IS A CURSE, THAT IS WHY THEY WON’T EVER FIND A NATURAL CURE

YOU CAN’T CURE A SPIRITUAL DISEASE WITH A NATURAL MEANS, IT WON’T WORK

GOD DOES NOT PUT SICKNESS AND DISEASES ON PEOPLE TO HUMBLE THEM OR TEACH THEM A LESSON

ONLY THE NAME AND BLOOD OF JESUS WITH A CONFESSION OF FAITH WILL SUSTAIN YOU.

REMEMBER WHAT 3RD JOHN VERSE 2 SAID

THE WILL OF GOD IS FOR YOU TO PROSPER AND BE IN GOOD HEALTH

REDEEMED TO BE SERVANTS


REDEEMED TO BE SERVANTS

Psalms 34:22   The Lord redeemeth the soul of his servants: and none of them that trust in him shall be desolate.

We often wish we could escape troubles, the pain of grief, sorrow, failure, or even the small daily frustrations, that constantly wear us down. It is a battle within itself.

God promises to be close to the broken hearted, and to be our source of power, courage and wisdom. Helping us with our problems.

When trouble strikes, don’t get upset with God. Instead, admit that you need Gods help, and thank him for always being by your side.

The word “desolate” means, to forsake, abandon, or make lonely.

Hebrews 13:5-6   

Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.


         So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

The redeemed of God will never be forsaken, left lonely  or neglected.

Job 19:25   For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth

At the heart of the book of Job, comes His amazing affirmation of confidence. “I know that my redeemer lives.”


In ancient Israel a redeemer was a family member who bought a slaves way to freedom.



When the book of Job was written, Israel did not have a well developed doctrine of the resurrection.


Jobs belief was so strong that he became one of the first to talk about the resurrection of the body.


He said, “in my body I will see God” he was confident that Gods justice would triumph, even if it would take a miracle to accomplish it.


Romans 3:22-24  


Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:

23 


For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;

24 


Being justified freely by his grace through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus:



We are made right in God’s sight when we trust Jesus to take away our sins.

For all have sinned and fall short of Gods standard, yet now God in his gracious kindness declares us not guilty.


He has done this through Christ Jesus, God sent Jesus to take the punishment for our sins, to satisfy Gods anger against us.


We are made right through the redemption of Jesus’ sacrifice. The shed blood, the death, burial and resurrection at the cross.


Trusting Jesus makes us right with God and empowers us to live in victory.


Through the redemption God declares us not quilty; as being justified, just as if we had never sinned.


When God forgives us our slate is wiped clean.


In old testament times a person’s debts could result in being sold as a slave. The next of kin could redeem him. They could buy his freedom.


Jesus purchased our freedom and the price was His life.

When Christ died in our place, for our sins, he completely satisfied God’s demands. His sacrifice brings pardon, deliverance, and freedom.

Ephesians 1:3-7   Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

According as he hath chosen us in him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before him in love:

Having predestinated us unto the adoption of children by Jesus Christ to himself, according to the good pleasure of his will,

To the praise of the glory of his grace, wherein he hath made us accepted in the beloved.

In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:

Who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in heavenly places, means that in Christ Jesus we have all the benefits of knowing God.


Being chosen for salvation, being adopted as his children, forgiveness, insight, the gifts of the Spirit, power to do Gods will, the hope of living together with Jesus.


All because we have an intimate relationship with Jesus. We can now enjoy these blessings.


The heavenly places means; these blessings are eternal not temporal.


Jesus’ death points to two wonderful truths. Redemption and forgiveness.


Through death, redemption was the price for our freedom. It freed us from slavery to sin.


Forgiveness was given on the basis of the shedding of Jesus’ blood, the perfect sacrifice.


This sacrifice was the introduction and reality of Gods mercy, Gods amazing grace, his loving kindness, and His awesome love.


Colossians 1:13-15   Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:

14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:

15 Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:

Jesus the son of God and the light of the world has delivered us from the power of darkness and has translated us, or transferred us into the Kingdom of God.

Jesus is the image of God or like God.



Psalms 31: 1   In thee, O Lord, do I put my trust; let me never be ashamed: deliver me in thy righteousness.



Psalms 31:5   Into thine hand I commit my spirit: thou hast redeemed me, O Lord God of truth.


We say we have faith in God. Do we really trust Him? We should commit ourselves completely to Him.

God loves and cares for us, even in our circumstances. It is always been part of his loving nature.


Because of God’s amazing grace and his loving kindness, we should be more willing to be his servants.


2 Timothy 2:24   And the servant of the Lord must not strive; but be gentle unto all men, apt to teach, patient,


The Lords servants must not quarrel, but must be kind to everyone. We must be able to teach effectively and be patient with difficult people.


If we can do that maybe God will change their hearts and they will believe the truth.


They are being held captive by the devil’s trap. They don’t realize they are doing whatever the devil wants.


1 Corinthians 7:20-24     Let every man abide in the same calling wherein he was called.

21 Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

22 For he that is called in the Lord, being a servant, is the Lord's freeman: likewise also he that is called, being free, is Christ's servant.

23 Ye are bought with a price; be not ye the servants of men.

24 Brethren, let every man, wherein he is called, therein abide with God.


We may be so concerned about what we could be doing for God somewhere else that we miss a great opportunity right where we are.

Always use your opportunity to honor, serve and speak out for God. God has placed you where you are.


All this depends on how much you are willing to serve. If you have no desire to serve, your understanding of the word by the Holy Spirit will not be elevated in you to a high degree.


God wants the redeemed servants to be warriors. He does not want you to have fear, but to be strong in His might.


So make the decision to run a good race. You have the power and authority, grace, wisdom, and angelic protection.


Go for it.

ENDURING THE STORM THROUGH PERILOUS TIMES


ENDURING THE STORM THROUGH PERILOUS TIMES

How can we be so confused about the word of God?

When there is only one God, one son, one Holy Spirit and one message.

Why can’t we get in one accord and have one understanding. There is power in unity.

Matthew 18:20    For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.

The way I see this is we should be in one accord agreeing together.

The reason we don’t see things in the same way is that there is a spirit of bondage called rebellion.

Romans 8:15   For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

Galatians 5:1   Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free, and be not entangled again with the yoke of bondage.

Some people figure the word of God doesn’t fit their lifestyle.

Others don’t think they can live up to the expectations of what the word requires of them to be victorious…. Lack of faith.

Then there are those who turn a deaf ear to what the word is saying.

To some folks it is just plain lack of knowledge.

Hosea 4:6    My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.

Romans 4:13   For the promise, that he should be the heir of the world, was not to Abraham, or to his seed, through the law, but through the righteousness of faith.

Abraham was not under the law but of promise through the righteousness of faith.

Abraham was fully persuaded that God would bring Isaack back to life if he killed him.

He knew God was able, based on His word.

Don’t question the ability and willingness of God.

Abraham, Daniel, Shadrac, Meshack, Abendnego  and David were all persuaded that God would come through.

Sometimes we need to be delivered from ourselves.

We keep our eyes on circumstances instead of what the word says.

Holiness says that we do not have anything in common with the worlds mindset.

John 17: 13-16   And now come I to thee; and these things I speak in the world, that they might have my joy fulfilled in themselves.

14 I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

15 I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil.

16 They are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.

We must separate ourselves from the world system.  Don’t live under the worlds way of thinking.

It is starting to fall apart like a two dollar suitcase.

We must renew our minds with the word. Natural ability is not enough to win in this world.

Your emotions can not be in charge of your life… your spirit has to be in charge, subject to the word of God.

Our problem is we are not responding to what is being taught.

The word says, Trust God. He can strengthen your inner man. Then you can begin to focus on what the Lord says.

When you are under the obedience of grace, sin won’t have dominion over you.

There are no if's in Gods plans. It is based on your believing.

Walking in the spirit is trusting God to do what you can’t do.

God is not the author of confusion, but of peace.

1 Corinthians 14:33     33 For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.

Living a Victorious Life


Living a Victorious Life



JOHN 5:24   24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life.



Shall have everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation…



 ROM:  8:1   Therefore, there is now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus,



There is therefore now, no condemnation to them which are in Christ Jesus.

Who walk not after the flesh, but after the spirit



Romans 8: 8-11... the flesh can not please God, but the ones who have made Christ Lord of their life, don’ t live after the flesh



but in the spirit… the spirit that dwells in you…



The reason there is no condemnation in a Christians life, is that when we truly accepted Jesus, as lord of our life, and what he did at the cross…



His shed blood cleansed our body,

our soul and our spirit



Our body, which is the temple, was made so clean of sin and so pure, until the spirit of god can live in us.



When the holy spirit of god came and dwelled in us, he sealed our spirit,



Now Satan can not touch the spirit man of God



2 CORR 1: 21-22   Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.



 God has established us together in a relationship with Christ… he has anointed us.



In addition, he has put his seal of ownership on us, and has given us his spirit as a guarantee…



Even though we are body, soul and spirit, the spirit man is the real you…



The Holy Spirit does not live in your body, he does not live in your soul, he

lives in your spirit…



The reason there is no condemnation to a christian when they miss the mark and do things contrary to the word, is that the real you which is the spirit has been sealed… Sin can never inter your spirit man…



The blood of Jesus at Calvary washed away all sin, from your past, present and future…



1 JOHN 3: 9    No one who is born of God will continue to sin, because God’s seed remains in them; they cannot go on sinning, because they have been born of God.   



Whosoever is born of god, doth not commit sin, for his seed remains in him…and he cannot sin, because he is born of god…



After your spirit man has been sealed by the Holy Spirit, and the Holy Spirit dwells in you… sin and the Holy Spirit cannot dwell together…

our problem is not with our spirit,



Our problem is with our mind or soul, and our flesh



The flesh wants to be in control, it wants to be your identity, it strives to be first in your life



Your flesh man is not the real you, take out the spirit man and the flesh dies



The flesh is only an apparatis or vehicle that carries the spirit man from place to place



what we need to do is renew our minds, with Gods word, then the flesh will line up…



It will always be rebellious



What you do is talk to the flesh and say, flesh you have served the God of this world long enough



You have had control of my mind for the last time…

I bind every thought that doesn’t line up with the word of God…

From now on the Holy Spirit will do the directing of my path



The very moment you ask Jesus to come into your heart, the spirit of the Lord sealed your spirit…



Now Satan can’t touch your spirit… he can only put thoughts in your mind or drown you with lying symptoms



The real you, has been sanctified, glorified, and made pure and clean by the blood of Jesus



With such purity that… God’s spirit lives in you



Only the flesh can sin, these sins come thru thoughts of lust and greed



And the devil is behind every one of them.



What can wash away my sins? Nothing but the blood of Jesus.



If you have been born again, all your sins have been washed away…



Does man still sin, yes, not your spirit, but your flesh



Does God approve of this, no he expects us to read his word and renew our minds, so we know right from wrong and not get off the path of righteousness…



The flesh is a mind-set… against God



It wants to gain identity through your mind



Flesh wants to be your source and lust against your spirit



God wants you to be led by the holy spirit



He will guide you in ways that your

mind could never do



God’s ways are higher than our ways,

his thoughts are higher than our thoughts



Don’t let Satan deceive you into thinking the wrong thoughts… and speaking the words of destruction



If God is for us who can be against us



Even tho greater is he that is in you than he that is in the world



You will never have victory in your life as long as the flesh is in control



Your flesh must be brought into submission by the renewing of the mind, thru the inspired word of God…



 JOHN 10: 27-30   27 My sheep listen to my voice; I know them, and they follow me. 28 I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one will snatch them out of my hand. 29 My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all[a]; no one can snatch them out of my Father’s hand. 30 I and the Father are one.”



JOHN 14: 12-14   12 Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.



THE VICTORY IS OURS



MATT 6: 33 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.

BATTLEFIELD OF THE MIND

BATTLEFIELD OF THE MIND

Heb 12: 1-3  12 Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,
Looking unto Jesus the author and finisher of our faith; who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is set down at the right hand of the throne of God.
For consider him that endured such contradiction of sinners against himself, lest ye be wearied and faint in your minds.
Before you can enjoy the kind of victory that God has made available for you, you must first learn about the strategies the devil is using against you.
You must learn how he operates, so you can put a stop to his operations in your life. You must find out exactly where he is going to attack you.
We must lay aside and get rid of everything that slows us down… sin, wrong desires…We must look away from ourselves, or at the circumstances surrounding us, and keep or eyes upon Jesus.
If we start looking away, our eyes will be deceived; we must keep Jesus in our sight.
We are not the first to struggle with the problems we face, look at what the disciples faced.
Look at what Jesus faced, he saw the joy ahead of him, so he endured death on the cross and ignored the disgrace it brought Him.
Then he received the highest position in heaven, the one next to the throne of God the father.
Unless you become weary and faint in your minds, you too will have an eternal position with Christ.
As long as you live in a mortal body, your carnal natural mind is the place where your fight with Satan will be won or lost. Some people think Satan’s attacks come in the realm of the spirit, but they don’t.
Jesus defeated him where the spirit realm is concerned…once and for all. When we made Jesus the Lord of our life, that victory became forever ours. The battle for your spirit is over; it has already been fought and won.
As a believer you have been spiritually re-born into the image of God. There is absolutely nothing the devil can do to change that.
You must understand the difference between the soul and the spirit.
When you’re operating purely in the realm of the spirit, your mind, which is the realm of the soul is not in charge.
Even though Satan himself is a spirit, he has lost all his authority in the spiritual realm.  He can not fight you in the spiritual realm anymore. But he can battle you in the mind.
1st Corinthian 10:13   There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it.
When you are tempted, God will give you the ability to endure the temptation as your way of escape.
That means, satin has to operate in this natural soulish realm, and even in the natural realm he has no authority.
But he can deceive you, deception is all he has. That doesn’t mean that he will just pack up and go home. He is still going to try to steal, kill and destroy you and your relationship with Jesus. He is going to try to do it by gaining control of your mind.
If you’re going to take a successful stand against the devil, you will have to do it on the battlefield of your mind.
If we start looking away from Jesus, our eyes will be deceived; we must keep Jesus in our sight.


But in the flesh, we still have to deal with him.

It’s the battlefield of the mind.

2 Timothy 3:1   This know also, that in the last days perilous times shall come.

2 Timothy 3:7   Ever learning, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

The false arc angel Lucifer the history and future

Ezekiel 28:15   15 Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till iniquity was found in thee.

Ezekiel 28: 17   17 Thine heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness: I will cast thee to the ground, I will lay thee before kings, that they may behold thee.

Some where the will of God had become distasteful to Satan.

He wanted to exalt his throne above the stars of God as to be like the most High.
God in His eternal plan had reserved this exaltation for His son Jesus, not for Lucifer.

It was given to Jesus alone to sit with the Father on his throne.

Revelation 3:21    21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

Lucifer though “vice regent” was destined to hold a lesser position.

But as it turned out he was not satisfied with this.

When it became evident that he was not to have the supreme position he saw his ambitions thwarted, or down graded to third place. It was this that prompted his rebellion.

The question I have is how Lucifer hoped to be successful in challenging God for his throne.

Obviously the devils rebellion was not born on the impulse of the moment, but rather had to be a calculated plan.
But he reason for its eventual failure was because God had foreseen the entrance of evil into the universe and had prepared a plan in advance to counteract it.

It was the divine plan of redemption.

So when Lucifer painted a glowing prospect to the angels that they would be as gods, as he did to Eve, makers of their own destiny, they left their first home to follow him.

So it came to pass that one third of the angels elected to follow Lucifer.

God had not been taken by surprise that sin had entered His universe.

God however had knowledge which the devil did not have. He foresaw the extent of the rebellion.

He knew that although Satan would disrupt his plan, Satan could not prevent it from eventually succeeding.

There was one thing that God held in reserve, not even the angels knew.

God had a grand plan of salvation through his Son, Jesus Christ. Not even the righteous angels knew about it.

1Peter 1:19-20   19 But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
20 Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you,

Jesus Himself would become flesh and die in the sinners place.

At Calvary the devils legal authority was stripped from him, and he has no further power over the believer.

John 8:32  32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.
    Verse 36   If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.

Being free is having victory, staying free comes with obedience and commitment.

Stay away from negative thinking, it can rob you of the truth.

How? Because you have an enemy involved. He wants to kill steal and destroy.

His name is Lucifer or Satan or Devil.

But Jesus came that we might have life and have it abundantly.
