I AM AN 80 YEAR OLD MALE, BORN AGAIN, CHRISTIAN WITH A LOVE FOR JESUS. I DO NOT GET OUT MUCH ANYMORE BUT FIND THAT TELLING PEOPLE ABOUT THE LOVE JESUS HAS FOR THEM IS NOT ONLY WHAT WE ARE SUPPOSED TO DO BUT SOMETHING THAT THE WORLD NEEDS.

"BELIEVING IS A MUST" BY DAVID MCMILLEN

Posted in: INSPIRATIONAL

I HAVE WRITTEN SO MANY TIMES ON HEALING AND I WILL CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL I GET MY MESSAGE CLEAR.  WHEN I HAVE  QUOTED 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.", A LOT OF PEOPLE HAVE COMMENTED THAT MY INTERPRETATION WAS WRONG AND THIS WAS TALKING ABOUT HEALING OUR SINS.  I HAVE EVEN QUOTED ISAIAH 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." BUT THIS DIDN'T SEEM TO HELP ALTHOUGH ISAIAH PROPHESIED THIS BEFORE JESUS WAS EVEN ON THIS EARTH.  PEOPLE STILL SAY HE WAS TALKING ABOUT HEALING OUR SINS.  






 

I AM GOING TO QUOTE ONE MORE SCRIPTURE THAT SPECIFICALLY SAYS "SICKNESSES" IN HOPES THAT IT WILL HELP.  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."  

 

I KNOW MOST OF YOU HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT JESUS DIED, WAS BURIED AND ROSE FROM THE DEAD?  THIS YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IF YOU ARE REALLY BORN AGAIN.  NOW, IF YOU DO HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT HE TOOK AWAY ALL YOUR SINS, WHY CAN'T YOU HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE THAT HE ALSO DIED FOR YOUR SICKNESSES?  THIS IS GOD'S WORDS THAT I AM QUOTING, NOT MINE.  NOW, DO YOU HAVE FAITH TO BELIEVE GOD'S WORD WHEN IT SAYS BY HIS  STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED?    

 

I MIGHT AS WELL BRING SOMETHING ELSE UP THAT HAS BEEN SAID ABOUT US SAYING WE ARE HEALED WHEN IT LOOKS LIKE WE ARE NOT.  IT IS CALLING THINGS THAT ARE NOT AS THOUGH THEY WERE.  GOD, HIMSELF, DID THIS WHEN HE WAS TALKING ABOUT ABRAHAM.  LOOK WHAT IT SAYS IN ROMANS 4:16 -17 Therefore it is of faith, that it might be by grace; to the end the promise might be sure to all the seed; not to that only which is of the law, but to that also which is of the faith of Abraham; who is the father of us all,  (As it is written, I have made thee a father of many nations,) before him whom he believed, even God, who quickeneth the dead, and calleth those things which be not as though they were.   STEP OUT IN FAITH AND TELL PEOPLE YOU ARE HEALED IN THE NAME OF JESUS.


 


PEOPLE LET THEIR BODIES AND THE DOCTORS DETERMINE HOW THEY ARE.  I KNOW IT TAKES A LOT OF FAITH TO BELIEVE YOU ARE HEALED WHEN YOU DON'T FEEL GOOD AND THE DOCTOR EVEN SAYS YOU ARE SICK.  THE DOCTORS, YOUR BODIES OR JESUS, WHO ARE YOU GOING TO BELIEVE?  PLEASE DON'T GET ME WRONG, I AM NOT TELLING YOU TO STOP GOING TO THE DOCTOR OR STOP TAKING YOUR MEDICATION.  IF IT WASN'T FOR THE DOCTORS AND THE MEDICATION, THERE WOULDN'T BE A LOT OF PEOPLE STILL ALIVE TO HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO GET SAVED. 


 

I AM GOING TO QUOTE WHAT ANDREW WOMMACK SAID A COUPLE OF DAYS AGO.  I THINK IT WILL FIT RIGHT IN AS WE ARE TALKING ABOUT THE ATONEMENT.  YOU CAN READ HIS WHOLE MESSAGE ON MY TIMELINE IF YOU WANT TO.  THIS IS JUST PART OF WHAT HE SAID.

 

"Healing has been purchased for us as part of the atonement of Christ. The Lord would no more refuse to heal us than He would refuse to forgive us. That does not mean that we deserve healing - we don't. It is a gift from God, just as salvation is a gift from God (Rom. 6:23; Eph. 2:8). We don't deserve to have our sins forgiven. We cannot demand salvation from the Lord, but we can expect it. Likewise, healing has been purchased for us through the atonement of Christ. Healing belongs to us, but it is still the mercy of God that provides healing. Every act of healing is an act of mercy."

 

WE ALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN FAITH AND, BELIEVE IT OR NOT, THE SAME AMOUNT OF FAITH. ROMANS 12:3 SAYS "God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith."  IT DOESN'T SAY JUST FAITH OR SOME FAITH, IT SAYS "THE" MEASURE OF FAITH.  WE ALL GOT THE SAME AMOUNT.

 

ALTHOUGH WE ALL HAVE BEEN GIVEN THE SAME AMOUNT OF FAITH, NOT ALL OF US USE WHAT GOD HAS GIVEN US. SO, IT IS ALRIGHT TO SPEAK OF GROWING IN FAITH AND HAVING GREAT FAITH OR LITTLE FAITH BUT WE MUST REMEMBER THAT THIS IS SPEAKING OF HOW MUCH FAITH WE USE, NOT HOW MUCH WE WERE GIVEN.  I LIKE THE VERSE HEBREWS 11:1 WHERE IT SAYS "Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen."  FAITH HAS SUBSTANCE AND IS REAL AND WILL BRING INTO EXISTENCE THE THINGS WE ARE HOPING FOR.  USE YOUR FAITH AND BUILD IT UP.  THE BIBLE SAYS "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God."  YOUR BIBLE IS THE KEY TO INCREASING YOUR FAITH AND THE BIBLE ALSO SAYS IN ROMANS 14:23 "for whatsoever is not of faith is sin."  

 

GOD BLESS YOU ALL.
