HEALING IN THE MIGHTY NAME OF JESUS
Matthew 8:16-17
When the even was come, they brought
unto him many that were possessed with
devils: and he cast out the spirits with
his word, and healed all that were sick:
That it might be fulfilled which was
spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying,
Himself took our infirmities, and bare
our sicknesses.
If you need healing, says these words:
Jesus Himself took my infirmities and
bore my sicknesses. He carried away my
sicknesses and diseases. He bore them
away and removed them. Disease is not
mine. Healing is mine. I refuse to bear
what Jesus bore for me. Satan, you
cannot put disease on me. I refuse to
accept sickness. I will not tolerate
sickness. Sickness and disease are
totally unacceptable to me.
THE
BABY AND THE BATH WATER
I
believe strongly that there is a need
for a totally new radical approach to
congregational worship. Unlike some who
want to dump the old styles and embrace
every new style, I thinks that it is
wrong to call the old, 'old wineskins'.
I feel that the best of all styles
should be retained and employed together
with present and pioneer innovative ways
to worship congregationally. I also
believes that strong confrontational
'personal cross/discipleship' preaching
is necessary and that there is a need
for instituting the 'five fold ministry
in leadership, although there needs to
be a final authority figure, who is the
overseer. Although body members should
be facilitated in their 'gifting in the
work of the ministry', Friends, I firmly
believes that the Bible clearly teaches
that there is a separation unto full
time ministry and major difference
between Clergy and Laity.
THE
ISSUE OF FAITH
Your mouth is
connected to your heart and what is in
your heart determines whether you are
good or bad (Luke 6:43-45).
What you continue to speak will be
planted in your heart and will overwhelm
your life.
Habits and desires are created by where
you focus your attention.
Eventually you will believe what you
continually speak and it will be born in
your life.
Nothing in life happens without a
cause—good or bad.
Whether a man is good or bad is
determined by what is in his heart.
A man is not good or bad based on his
actions.
What is in a man's heart will eventually
be seen.
Good treasure in a man's heart produces
good fruit and makes that man good.
Bad treasure in a man's heart produces
bad fruit and makes that man bad.
Your outcome in life is determined by
your roots, or what is in your heart.
Don't speak idle or empty words (Matthew
12:36).
Idle words are words that have no
meaning.
For example: saying things you don't
really mean, or saying things that
aren't really in your heart.

In 1 Peter 2:24 it says;
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.
(Today's meaning) "His bruising was your
healing."
Confess: By Jesus' stripes I was healed.
Healing belongs to me. I was healed
2,000 years ago by the stripes Jesus
bore. I'm not trying to get healed. I've
got healing, because by His stripes I
was healed.
Thousands of Christians are going along
to get along. Others are so frustrated
or hurt by Churches that they no longer
attend any Church. Others have rebelled
against going to Church and some believe
that we all should become 'Messianic
Jewish believers' and start to rebuild
and live by the Old Testament Law,
festivals and traditions. 'Seeker
friendly', 'Five steps to success',
'Going to your next level', churches
abound everywhere. If the music's good,
the message is void of conviction, there
is no dress code, the leadership look
'cool', then it is supposedly a good
'church'. Thousands will flock to it and
be satisfied with 'in thing' banality.
Am I talking about going back to 'Hymn
sandwiches', 'evangelical fundamentalist
concepts', or traditional nonconformist
protestant forms of worship? No! Should
we sing dirges and memorize the
catechism? No! However, we should not
ditch the valuable and rather, renew it
with innovation together with the most
pioneering radical new styles. In other
words, be unique. Last week's service
shouldn't be this week's 'game plan'.
The preaching and teaching needs to
convict the soul into discipleship,
submission to leadership's covering,
personal faith and carrying a personal
daily cross walk in Christ. No more
buffing up the 'old nature' to implement
'strange fire' before the Lord, but
rather, putting on the 'new nature' by
being taught to 'being conformed to His
image', by 'putting on Christ'.

Faith is the substance of things hoped
for, and the evidence of the things you
can't see (Hebrews 11:1):
Faith is the "title deed", confirmation
and proof of what you are believing God
to do in your life.
The faith of God is a combination of the
promises of God and your confidence in
them.
Faith is a practical expression of your
developed confidence in God and His
ability to reward you. It is also having
confidence in His Word and its
seed-producing ability to bring forth a
harvest in your life.
Confidence must be developed.
