God’s Will? Jesus Healed!

Tuesday, 22 March, 2011 07:51 Written by Pastor Bruce 1 Comment

Jesus’ earthly ministry was the manifest will of God. He went about healing and doing good! (Acts 10:38)

One Sabbath day as Jesus was teaching in a synagogue, He saw a woman who had been crippled by an evil spirit. She had been bent double for eighteen years and was unable to stand up straight. When Jesus saw her, He called her over and said, “Dear woman, you are healed of your sickness!” Then He touched her, and instantly she could stand straight. How she praised God! – Luke 13:10-13 (NLT)

Healing is always and forever the will of God because Jesus always did the will of the Father. There was never a time in the earthly ministry of Jesus where He withheld or denied someone healing yet there are some today that doubt whether it is God’s will to heal. Leave your doubt and come over to the life-giving truth of God’s Word!

Jesus is God’s will in action and He heals. Hebrews 13:8 declares that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and forever therefore we know with absolute certainty that He is healing today. Regardless of who believes this truth or who got mad at Jesus for healing on the Sabbath decide to believe the Word of God and align your heart and mouth with His Word.

Say out loud – I believe that Jesus is healing me right now and I receive it! I line my body, my heart and my mouth up with the Word of God and I praise God for my healing! Thank you Jesus for fulfilling the will of the Father!

Faith Can Be Seen

Thursday, 13 January, 2011 11:06 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

Faith involves action and can be seen. It is the link between the seen and the unseen.

Then behold, they brought to Him a paralytic lying on a bed. When JESUS SAW THEIR FAITH, He said to the paralytic, “Son, be of good cheer; your sins are forgiven you.”  – Matthew 9:2 NKJV

Faith sees what cannot be seen with the human eye in order to bring it into the realm of the seen! We walk by faith and not by sight.

Faith is a whole lot more than just positive confession of God’s Word although it involves a positive confession of God’s Word. When we believe something it affects our actions!

Hebrews 11 is full of people of faith that did mighty exploits by faith. They believed something but because they believed something it caused them to do something. We have a lot of “faith talkers” around but far few “faith doers”. It is time that we transfer what we believe into action. Pray in faith and then get up and do something about it.

I am sure glad that the friends of the paralytic were as filled with faith as their bedridden friend. They must have believed that Jesus was healing and that Jesus would heal their friend to go to the lengths they did to get him into the place where Jesus was ministering that day. They showed their faith by their works for sure! Determine to show your faith, do what you can do and God will do what He has promised you that He would do. Why wait?!

Covered By Love

Monday, 03 May, 2010 08:30 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

What is greater than all sin?

Above all things have intense and unfailing love for one another, for love covers a multitude of sins [forgives and disregards the offenses of others].  – 1 Peter 4:8 AMP

The love of God is greater than all sin! Jesus’ love for us and in us will conquer any and every wrong.

1 Corinthians 13 says that one aspect of love is that it never fails and never quits (it never gets to a place where it gives up) Sure there are times where we want to give up but instead of giving up we would “tap into” the love of God on the inside of us…we would receive the strength that it takes to love and win!

The opposite of cover is expose. Love does not expose sin. It is not our job or calling in life to go around shining a light on every one’s sin to expose them. (we don’t go to the other extreme and pretend as though sin doesn’t exist either…) By “covering sin” the Bible means that we forgive, forget and look past the sin of others in order that we keep ourselves from judging and criticizing those that we see in sin. Jesus ministered to the woman that was caught in the act of adultery by saying “Neither do I condemn you, go and sin no more.” There is no condemnation in Christ. Operate in the extreme love of God and release people from their sin. Allow the love of God on the inside of you to cover sin not expose it.

Transforming the Church

Thursday, 29 April, 2010 07:47 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

What do you think will transform the church?

Love is patient and kind. Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude. It does not demand its own way. It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged. It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out. Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance. – 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 NLT

The love of God manifested through the children of God will transform the Church of God!

“It (love) should be preached from the pulpit until every member of the congregation becomes love conscious, until it would be impossible for them to quarrel or say unkind things to one another.” – E.W. Kenyon

We are ordered to obey the love command by the Head of the Church, Jesus Christ. It is not an option but a holy command that when Jesus obeyed it, it allowed God the Father to restore the relationship between Himself and His most prized possession: mankind.

The Church is in the restoration business. Our job is to restore man to God. But we must be living a life of extreme love in order to accomplish the task that we have been given. We must obey the “love command” to a greater extent in order to see the Harvest come in. The Harvest that Jesus spoke about in Matthew 9:38 will only come in to the degree that the Church is living according to the commandment to love each other AS Jesus has loved us. We must get busy focusing on the love command and quit focusing on the things that do not matter.

Hear and Be Healed

Monday, 25 January, 2010 09:27 Written by Pastor Bruce 0 Comments

Need healing?

and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities. – Luke 5:15

And he came down with them, and stood in the plain, and the company of his disciples, and a great multitude of people out of all Judaea and Jerusalem, and from the sea coast of Tyre and Sidon, which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases – Luke 6:17

It is time to hear…when you need healing… Hear the words of Jesus the Healer! Most people put more faith in the words of the doctor than they do the One who created them. (and it only produces fear, dread, doubt and unbelief)

Quit listening to the doctor as final authority and begin to read, listen and meditate on the words of Jesus! Proverbs 4 says that the words of God are life to those that find them and health to all of our flesh. Time to feed on the word when you are in need of healing…more than the medicine that the “experts” have prescribed.

Romans 10:17 says that faith comes from hearing the Word of God and faith is what is needed when you are believing God for what seems impossible. With God all things are possible…to them that believe.

Hear the Words of Jesus on healing. Believe. Allow those words to fill your mind and heal your body!
