"HEALED OR SINS FORGIVEN, IT WAS ALL IN THE ATONEMENT" BY DAVID MCMILLEN
By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2018-09-14
DO YOU KNOW WHAT ATONEMENT MEANS? IT IS MENTIONED IN ROMANS 5:10-11 AND IT SAYS "For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. And not only so, but we also joy in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, by whom we have now received the atonement." THE GREEK WORD THAT WAS TRANSLATED "ATONEMENT" IS kATALLAGE" AND STRONG'S CONCORDANCE SAYS IT MEANS "EXCHANGE". WITH THAT MEANING, READ THE FOLLOWING.
There are qualifications for believing and receiving as well as restrictions for receiving answers to prayer. Unforgiveness in our hearts will keep our prayers from being answered.
We should forgive others as quickly as it takes to make the decision to pray. The Greek word for "when" means "whenever, as soon as, or while." When we stand praying, we must forgive if we have ought ("anything at all, the least little part; whatsoever") against anyone.
When we are offended or hurt, we often feel justified in holding a grudge.
The Old Testament law expressed this when it stated, "Eye for eye, tooth for tooth" (Ex. 21:23-25). Until the offense was paid, we did not feel free to forgive....
Jesus makes it very clear that we must have faith and doubt not. Every believer has faith, but most believers also have an abundance of doubt that negates their faith. It is when we purify our faith and only believe, that victory comes.
Every Christian is at war. There is a perpetual struggle against Satan and his kingdom where there are no "leaves" or "discharges." Our enemy goes about as a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour (1 Pet. 5:8). Those who resist the devil will see him flee (Jas. 4:7). The only ones whom he devours are those who don't actively fight against him.
The mind is the...
WE ALL KNOW HOW MUCH JESUS LOVES US BECAUSE OF WHAT HE DID FOR US, BUT HE DOES LITTLE THINGS FOR US THAT SOMETIMES WE DON'T EVEN KNOW ABOUT. I WAS READING ABOUT JOHN THE BAPTIST AND WHEN HE WAS BEHEADED, I AM SURE IT WAS A BAD TIME FOR HIS FOLLOWERS. THE BIBLE SAYS THAT WHEN THEY HEARD ABOUT IT, THEY CAME AND TOOK HIS CORPSE AND PUT IT IN A TOMB. WHEN THEY HAD DONE THIS, THE BIBLE SAYS THEY GATHERED THEMSELVES TOGETHER UNTO JESUS AND TOLD HIM ALL THINGS.

Only Mark points out that Jesus would not suffer anyone to carry any vessel through the temple. No explanation is offered by Mark as to why Jesus would not allow this. It is probable that Jesus wanted His Father's house to be dedicated completely to prayer and the ministry of God. Also, as with the Sabbath, work symbolizes our own effort, and our own effort will always fall short of what God demands for salvation. Therefore, anything that resembled work was inappropriate in the house of God.
What are "works of the law?" Any rule, command or law that a person observes in an attempt to be accepted in right standing with God is a "work of the law." In other words, "works of the law" are a righteousness produced by one's self, a righteousness belonging to one's self, offered to God as a means...

When we, who are the temple of the Lord, are occupied with the cares of this life, the needs of others are not met. However, when we are cleansed (Jn. 15:3), then the Lord can accomplish His ministry through us.
Jesus tells us not to worry or be anxious about our material needs being met. It would be impossible to never think about our physical needs, even Jesus thought about His need for money to pay taxes. We are simply not to be occupied with thinking about riches or spend time worrying about our necessities. They will be added unto us as we seek first the kingdom of God.
Prosperity can be damaging to the Body of Christ. God wants to bless His children with things, but a preoccupation with these things will choke God's Word and make it unfruitful. If we follow...
