IF YOU HAVEN'T HEARD THE STORY OF THE FIG TREE JESUS SPOKE TO, I WILL TELL YOU ABOUT IT. AFTER HE HAD DRIVEN THE MONEY CHANGERS OUT OF THE TEMPLE IN JERUSALEM, HE WENT TO BETHANY TO SPEND THE NIGHT. ON HIS WAY BACK TO JERUSALEM HE SAW A FIG TREE AND IT WAS FULL OF LEAVES AND WHEN A FIG TREE HAS LEAVES, IT IS SUPPOSED TO HAVE FIGS. HE WAS HUNGRY BUT THE TREE HAD NO FIGS ON IT. SINCE IT WAS MISREPRESENTING NATURE, HE CURSED IT AND IT WITHERED AWAY.
JESUS USED A METAPHOR TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT HAPPENED TO THE FIG TREE...
DO YOU HAVE PEACE IN YOUR LIFE OR ARE YOU STRESSED OUT AND AFRAID? STRESS CAN COME IN MANY FORMS, SOME WORSE THAN OTHERS.

DO YOU DREAM OF GODLY THINGS? DREAMS OF YOU HEALING THE SICK, PREACHING TO THOUSANDS, OR EVEN RAISING THE DEAD? TAKE HEED OF THESE DREAMS AND DON'T JUST PASS THEM OFF AS IDLE THOUGHTS YOU MIGHT HAVE HAD BEFORE YOU WENT TO BED. GOD JUST MIGHT BE TRYING TO TELL YOU SOMETHING.
DO YOU QUESTION SOME OF THE THINGS YOUR PASTOR SAYS OR DO YOU JUST THINK IT IS TRUE BECAUSE HE SAID IT WAS? THERE ARE MANY FALSE TEACHERS OUT THERE AND WE SHOULD QUESTION EVERY THING THEY SAY AND IF IT DOES NOT LINE UP WITH THE WORD OF GOD, THEN WE SHOULD SEPARATE OURSELVES FROM THEM....
Luke 11:42 "But woe unto you, Pharisees! for ye tithe mint and rue and all manner of herbs, and pass over judgment and the love of God: these ought ye to have done and not to leave the other undone."
I HAVE WRITTEN A LOT ABOUT HEALING AND HAVE TRIED TO SHOW WHAT GOD'S WORD SAYS ABOUT IT. NOW I WANT TO KNOW IF YOU ARE HEALED?

THIS IS A MATTER OF LIFE OR DEATH.
