Understanding the healing power of God. Pt1 Move the stone.

In part 1 of our series Understanding the healing power of God, we introduce the team that knows no defeat. There is an undefeated team that has never lost to sickness, diseases or pains. This team was seen all through the miracles of Jesus and the apostles. Unfortunately we have spent most our Christian lives only focusing on one team member, while totally ignoring the second and equally needed other. The team? Your faith and Gods healing power. We have spent years on the faith team member but what do we really know about Gods healing power? When these two come together, miracles happen. Lets learn about this other team member so we can recognize it and be able to see the victory.

The Miracles of Jesus: Too bad to be healed?

In part 22 of our series The Miracles of Jesus we look into the healing of Malchus ear. Soldiers were sent to find Jesus and bring Him to His death. As one of the soldiers approached Jesus, Peter whips out his sword and takes a swipe at him, taking an ear off this mans head! This is a man who hates Jesus, a man who believes that Jesus is a false prophet, and has blasphemed against the church and this Jesus is enemy number one! Jesus, in all the chaos of what was taking place, could had ran into the darkness to try and save His own life, BUT...here is a man with one ear. If Jesus was ever going to show us just one person who it was not Gods will to heal, this man would had been a great candidate. Jesus reached down and healed a man who hated Him. So whats your problem? Lets talk about it. 

The Miracles of Jesus: Blind Batimaeus

In part 21 of our series The Miracles of Jesus, we look into the healing of blind Batimaeus. Here is a man who has lost all hope who because of his blindness has been driven to become a beggar. One day he heard  that Jesus was coming by. What will this man do to be in position to receive his miracle? Will Jesus see Him and stop? Does this man need to do something to get Jesus attention? What about you? Is there something you can do to initiate your healing? This man needed a miracle but it says he cried out for mercy. Could healing be a mercy and if it is, could you possibly cry out for mercy and receive your miracle? Lets talk about it!

The Miracles of Jesus: Raising Lazarus from death.

In part 20 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we look into the raising of Lazarus from the dead. Jesus received a report that His friend was sick.Upon hearing this report, Jesus says something very interesting, "This sickness is not unto death but for the glory of God..." He soon received a second report saying, "Lazarus is dead!" What will you do when you receive a report that goes directly against what you were believing for? We must remember the bible asks a very important question, "Whos report will you believe?" It should be of no shock that we will always have a few conflicting reports, but its going to be very important for you to always speak the word of God at the beginning of every issue you have. Jesus said He was glad it happened so that they would believe. Believe what? Lazarus is dead! Believe the report that Jesus had already given in the beginning, "This shall not end in death!" Lazarus is dead! Who says its over? Lets talk about it. 

The Miracles of Jesus: The Healing of the ten lepers.

In part 19 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we will look into a mass healing event of the healing of the ten lepers. Here we see Jesus, not teaching or preaching, but simply passing through a town on His way to somewhere else. Ten lepers see Him and they begin to cry out, "...have mercy on us." Interesting request. They needed a miracle but asked for mercy. Could healing be a mercy and if it is, the bible says, "His mercies are new every morning." Would that also mean healing could be made available every morning too? Did these men have to do something to be able to receive their miracle or was this all up to Jesus? What about the one man who came back and gave God glory? Did something special happen for him? Lets talk about it. 

The Miracles of Jesus: The woman with the spirit of infirmity

In part 18 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we will look into the healing of the woman with a spirit of infirmity. This is a great story of root verses fruit. We see this woman was hunched over for 18 years. Jesus called her to Him and identified the real issue, a spirit. Have we often missed the root issues by simply looking at the fruit issues? This womans issue was not bones, muscles or tendons, but rather a spirit that had affected her body. Lets look today at how to identify the root and change the fruit. 

The Miracles of Jesus: The man with dropsy

In part 17 of our series, The miracles of Jesus, we see Jesus was invited to a dinner party only to discover that it was a set up to catch Him breaking religious doctrine. A man with dropsy had been placed in the room where Jesus was. Imagine the idea. A group of religious elite, setting Jesus up to break their rules of healing on the sabbath day. They knew one thing for sure, that if there was a sick person in the room with Jesus, He would no doubt heal that man. These are the people who dont even like Jesus. Could we have as much faith as those who didnt even like Jesus, that if there was sickness near, He would heal it? Would God lead you into some situations to get others free? Lets talk about it. 

The Miracles of Jesus. The man at the pool.

In part 16 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the healing of the paralyzed man at the pool. A man who had been paralyzed for 38 years had been placed at a certain pool where an angel came down from time to time and stirred the waters. The 1st one in the pool after the water was stirred would be healed. Jesus approached this man with a simple question, "Will you be made whole?" The man immediately began to tell Jesus all the reasons why he could not be. Jesus commanded the man to arise and he did. Could you at times, or someone you know, be healed without having faith for it? Lets look today at the gifts of the spirit in operation as found in 1 Cor 12 as see what Paul discussed in the manifestation of these gifts. 

The Miracles of Jesus. The Lunatic Son.

In Part 15 of our series, The Miracles of Jesus, we are looking into the deliverance of a mans lunatic son. A man had brought his son to the 12 disciples looking for them to do something for his boy. All 12 were unable to bring deliverance to his son. He brings the boy to Jesus and said, "IF you can do anything..." Jesus responded, "If I can? NO, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes!" Heres our issue: I do believe, BUT help my unbelief! Can you have thoughts of doubt and still be able to receive a healing or a miracle? What if youve already been to 12 other ministries and they were unable to help you? Does that reveal the will of God that maybe its just not Gods will for me? Lets talk about all this and more. 

The Miracles of Jesus: Healing of the blind man: Look again!

In part 14 of our series, The miracles of Jesus, we are looking into another healing of a man who was blind. This story is a bit unique in its methods used to obtain this mans miracle. Two friends approached Jesus with their blind friend, asking Him to lay his hands upon him so that he may see again. Certainly not an un-biblical request. But is that what Jesus did? No. He took the man out of town and spit on His eyes. Certainly it does us well to know we must be led by Holy Spirit while ministering to people, but the larger issue of this story was, the man did not receive his complete healing instantly! Jesus ministered to this man a second time! Have you ever felt like maybe I cannot go back to be ministered to for the same thing because that means I dont have faith? Does it, or could we be missing something? Lets talk about it.
