About
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.

Making Faith Work
Luke 8:46, 'And Jesus said, Somebody hath touched me: for I perceive that virtue is gone out of me.'
LUKE 8:43-48
Is it possible that Jesus, who was God manifest in the flesh, and therefore all-knowing, did not actually know who touched Him? Yes! Although Jesus' spiritual man was divine, He took upon Himself a physical body with its limitations. Jesus drew on His divine ability through the gifts of the Holy Ghost, and so can we (Jn. 14:12; 1 Cor. 12:7). Before His resurrection, He operated as a man (sinless) by receiving from His Father through faith. Luke 8:47 says that the woman 'saw that she was not hid.' It is evident that Jesus received a word of knowledge from the Holy Spirit and had singled out this woman....
The Law Of Faith
Luke 8:45, 'And Jesus said, 'Who touched me?' When all denied, Peter and they that were with him said, 'Master, the multitude throng thee, and press thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me?''
MATTHEW 9:18-20; MARK 5:21-34; LUKE 8:40-48
The multitudes were thronging Jesus. That is, they were compressing, and crowding in on all sides, so it seems strange that He would ask, 'Who touched me?' Many people were physically touching Jesus, but this woman touched His power by faith. Many people in the crowd probably needed healing, but this person is the only one mentioned who received. The difference was the touch of faith.
If it was simply Jesus' willingness to heal that determined whether or not the healing took...

IN JOHN 9:3-4 WHERE JESUS HEALED THE MAN THAT WAS BORN BLIND, PEOPLE HAVE TAKEN THIS PASSAGE TO SAY THAT GOD HAD PUT THIS ON THIS MAN TO GET SOME KIND OF GLORY OUT OF IT. YOU READ IT AND SEE WHAT YOU THINK. " 3 Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him. 4 I must work the works of him that sent me," IN THE ORIGINAL MANUSCRIPTS THERE WERE NO PUNCTUATION OR CAPITAL LETTERS OR CHAPTERS. IT WAS ALL WRITTEN TOGETHER AND THE TRANSLATORS HAD TO PUT IN ALL THE PUNCTUATION AND SEPARATE THE VERSES, CHAPTERS AND SENTENCES. WE SEE HOW THE TRANSLATORS PUNCTUATED VERSE 3 AND 4, STARTING 4 AS A NEW SENTENCE. I CAN SEE WHERE SOME PEOPLE COULD BE MISLEAD. IT LOOKS LIKE THE MAN, NOR HIS PARENTS, HAD SINNED BUT THE MAN WAS BLIND SO THAT THE WORKS OF GOD COULD BE MANIFESTED IN...

Love And TrustMatthew 9:18, 'While he spake these things unto them, behold, there came a certain ruler, and worshipped him, saying, My daughter is even now dead: but come and lay thy hand upon her, and she shall live.' MATTHEW 9:18-19Jesus could have healed this girl by His spoken word, but He did as He was requested to do. This illustrates how the Lord ministers to us according to our faith. Jesus ministered to him at the level where his faith was and didn't rebuke his little faith (Jas. 1:5). There is a human faith which is limited to believing only what we can perceive through our five senses. But the supernatural, God kind of faith goes beyond what we can see, taste, hear, smell, and feel. God's kind of faith calls...

I COULDN'T FIND ANY INFORMATION ABOUT JUDAS, THE ONE WHO BETRAYED JESUS, OTHER THAN WHAT WAS IN THE BIBLE, BUT DID YOU KNOW HE WAS A BANKER. IT DOESN'T CALL HIM THAT IN THE BIBLE BUT IT SAYS HE WAS THE KEEPER OF THE BAG. THE BAG WAS THE MONEY JESUS AND THE DISCIPLES USED IN THEIR MINISTRY AND TO HELP THE POOR. I CALL THAT A BANKER. ALTHOUGH THE BIBLE SAYS THAT SOME OF THE MONEY WAS TO HELP THE POOR, JOHN TELLS US THAT JUDAS CARED NOTHING FOR THE POOR BUT HE JUST WANTED THE MONEY THAT WAS IN THE BAG. WHEN MARY, LAZERAS' SISTER, ANOINTED JESUS' FEET WITH SPIKENARD, A COSTLY OIL, JUDAS COMPLAINED. {JOHN 12:3-6 Then took Mary a pound of ointment of spikenard, very costly, and anointed the feet of Jesus, and wiped his feet with her hair: and the...

God Likes UsMark 5:19, 'Howbeit Jesus suffered him not, but saith unto him, Go home to thy friends, and tell them how great things the Lord hath done for thee, and hath had compassion on thee.' MARK 5:18-20One of the ways God's goodness is revealed is through His mercy. We may describe mercy as 'the readiness of God to relieve the misery of fallen creatures.' Many times, mercy is called compassion or lovingkindness. It is expressed toward the sinner because of the misery that sin has brought upon him. God's mercy to the believer is revealed by His taking away the misery of sin's consequences through the New Covenant of our Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Mercy is not something merited or earned, but as the Apostle Paul...
