"IT IS GOD'S WILL TO HEAL" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-03-14

IT IS GOD'S WILL TO HEAL


IN SOME OF MY EARLIER MESSAGES, I HAVE MENTIONED THE SCRIPTURE 1ST PETER 2:24 (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.) AND I WOULD LIKE TO SAY SOMETHING ELSE ABOUT THAT SCRIPTURE. I HAVE WRITTEN ABOUT THIS BEFORE BUT FEEL IT NEEDS TO BE REPEATED. WHEN YOU PRAY FOR GOD TO HEAL YOU OR SOMEONE ELSE AND SAY "IF IT BE THY WILL", TO ME, THAT IS LIKE A SLAP IN THE FACE TO JESUS. JESUS TOOK ALL OF OUR SICKNESS AND DISEASES IN HIS BODY BY THE STRIPES HE TOOK FOR US. SOME PEOPLE SAY THIS IS TALKING ABOUT BEING HEALED OF OUR SINS,...

"HEALING IS GOD'S WILL" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

Healing Is God's Will




Matthew 8:2, 'And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean.'



MATTHEW 8:1-4



Leprosy was a hated disease and its symptoms are described in detail in Leviticus 13:1-46. This leper believed Jesus could heal him, but doubted His willingness to heal him. Jesus showed him His willingness to heal, and since He is no respecter of persons, He established a precedent for us (Rom. 2:11). This leper did not know God's will concerning healing, but this is not the case with us. The Word of God is the will of God, and it reveals that it is always God's will to heal.

Isaiah 53:5, makes it clear that when Isaiah said 'with his stripes we are healed', he was speaking...


OUR SINS AND SICKNESSES ARE NO MORE


HAVE YOU EVER REALLY THOUGHT ABOUT WHAT JESUS WENT THROUGH ON THE DAY OF HIS CRUCIFIXION? LET'S JUST LOOK AT A FEW THINGS. HE KNEW IT WAS GOING TO BE BAD. LOOK AT WHAT HE SAYS IN MATTHEW 26, THE THREE TIMES HE PRAYED.


VERSE 39 "O my Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from me: nevertheless not as I will, but as thou wilt."



VERSE 42 "He went away again the second time, and...

"THE GIFT OF SALVATION" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

THE GIFT OF SALVATION




FOR YOU NON-BELIEVERS OUT THERE, I JUST WANT YOU TO KNOW THAT YOU ARE MISSING OUT ON THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT COULD EVER HAPPEN TO YOU. I AM NOT ONLY TALKING ABOUT YOUR FUTURE AND WHERE YOU WILL END UP IN ETERNITY, BUT I AM TALKING ABOUT WHAT YOU ARE MISSING OUT IN YOUR EVERYDAY LIFE. EVERLASTING LIFE DOES NOT START WHEN YOU LEAVE THIS EARTH, IT STARTS WHEN YOU GET BORN AGAIN. I WAS GOING TO SAY WHEN WE DIE BUT WE NEVER DIE. THESE OLD BODIES WILL PASS AWAY AND TURN BACK TO DUST BUT OUR SPIRITS WILL LIVE FOREVER EITHER IN HEAVEN OR HELL. YOU NEED TO ACCEPT JESUS AS YOUR SAVIOR AND FIND OUT WHAT I...

"A LIFESTYLE CHECK" BY ANDREW WOMMACK

A Lifestyle Check




Matthew 7:20, 'Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.'



MATTHEW 7:12-20



The way that you can tell whether a person is genuine or not is by the fruit they produce. This fruit is speaking of lifestyle. Jesus made the point that you don't get bad fruit from a good tree, and you don't get good fruit from a bad tree. Many people say one thing, but their actions speak so loudly that you really can't hear what they are saying. If you are in doubt about whether a person is genuine or not, or whether you should receive from them and follow their teaching, look at the fruit they are producing.

In evaluating ministers and ministries, more attention should be given to the fruit that is being produced. Failure to do...

"WHY DO YOU LOVE JESUS? BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-03-11

WHY DO YOU LOVE JESUS?

 

I AM SURE MOST CHRISTIANS WOULD AGREE THAT ONE OF THE GREATEST TRUTHS IS THAT JESUS LOVES US. WHY ELSE WOULD HE HAVE SUFFERED AND DIED FOR US. HE DIDN'T HAVE TO, YOU KNOW. WHAT SURPRISES ME AND MAKES ME LOVE HIM MORE IS THE FACT THAT HE KNEW BEFORE ADAM WAS CREATED THAT HE WOULD HAVE TO DO WHAT HE DID, AND HE DID IT ANYWAY. NOW THAT IS PURE LOVE.

 


God Takes Pleasure In Meeting Our Needs




Matthew 7:11, 'If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?'



MATTHEW 7: 9-11



What kind of parent would ever deny their children, the necessities of life? If you have children would you fail to feed them? Or provide for them? Or if they ask you for food would you give them poison instead? Of, course not. This is the point Jesus is making.

God is love (1 Jn. 4:8)! And His love for us is infinitely greater than any loving relationship here on earth. We can apply this truth about God's love for us to any command or example we find in God's Word where His standards for...

"GOD ANSWERS EVERY PRAYER" BY ANDREW WOMMACK


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-03-10

God Answers Every Prayer




Matthew 7:7, 'Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:'



MATTHEW 7:6-8



Prayer which meets the requirements outlined in God's Word is always answered. Many times we don't perceive the answer because it always comes in the spiritual realm first before it is manifested in the physical realm. If we waver from our confident faith, then we abort the manifestation of that answer (Jas. 1:6-7; Heb. 10:35). But God did answer. Everyone who asks receives.

In the book of Daniel chapter 9, Daniel prayed a prayer and waited a relatively short period of time to see his answer to prayer. In less than three minutes the angel Gabriel appeared and answered all of his...

"TRULY SEEKING JESUS" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

TRULY SEEKING JESUS

 

ARE YOU REALLY SEEKING THE LORD? I DON'T MEAN JUST GOING THROUGH THE MOTIONS LIKE PRAYING WHENEVER YOU ARE IN NEED OR IN TROUBLE OR GOING TO CHURCH EVERY SUNDAY TO SHOW PEOPLE HOW HOLY YOU ARE. I KNOW THIS IS TERRIBLE TO SAY ABOUT SOMEONE BUT WE ALL GET CAUGHT UP IN OURSELVES ONCE IN A WHILE AND IT DOESN'T HURT TO HAVE A LITTLE REMINDER NOT TO DO THIS.


"REALLY STURDYING THE WORD" BY DAVID MCMILLEN


By DAVID A. MCMILLEN, 2021-03-09

REALLY STUDYING THE WORD




I WROTE ABOUT THIS ONCE BEFORE BUT SOME HAVE BEEN ASKING WHAT I MEANT SO I AM GOING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN BETTER. HAVE YOU EVER NOTICED WORDS IN THE BIBLE THAT ARE IN ITALICS? THESE WORDS ARE NOT IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS BUT ARE PUT IN BY THE TRANSLATORS IN ORDER TO MAKE THE SENTENCE SOUND RIGHT.




THIS IS IMPORTANT TO KNOW FOR TWO REASONS. SOMETIMES IT CHANGES THE MEANING OF THE VERSE COMPLETELY. FOR...
