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.

Jesus often healed people by touching them, and others received their healing as they touched Jesus. You can transmit the power or the anointing of God through the laying on of hands (Mk. 16:18; Heb. 6:2). The virtue of God can even be transmitted to objects and then brought to the person who needs healing or deliverance.
Jesus provided physical healing as well as forgiveness of sins. Many scriptures mention the healing of our bodies in conjunction with the forgiveness of our sins. Healing is an expression of God's love and compassion for our physical man. Healing miracles also draw men to God to get their spiritual needs met. Physical healing acts like a bell to get man's attention so that the Lord can minister to the inner man as well.
Healing has been purchased for us...
THIS IS JUST A BRIEF MESSAGE THIS MORNING TO TELL ALL OF YOU THAT GOD REALLY LOVES YOU. MOST OF YOU KNOW THIS BUT THERE ARE SOME OUT THERE, EVEN CHRISTIANS, THAT THINK GOD IS JUST SITTING ON HIS THRONE WATCHING TO SEE IF WE SIN SO HE CAN PUNISH US. WHETHER YOU ARE A CHRISTIAN OR NOT, THIS IS NOT TRUE. FOR US CHRISTIANS, WE KNOW HE LOVES US BECAUSE WE KNOW THAT HE SENT JESUS, HIS SON, TO DIE ON A CROSS AND TAKE ALL OF OUR SINS SO WE CAN HAVE A CLOSE RELATIONSHIP WITH HIM.
The Lordship of Jesus is one of the central themes of scripture. It is clear that many times the word "Lord," when referring to Jesus, is equivalent to the divine name "Yahweh" or "Jehovah." To acknowledge Jesus as Lord is to acknowledge His deity (Jn. 20:28).
What it means to give Jesus Lordship in our lives, is to recognize His right to rule in our lives, by right of creation (Jn. 1:3) and right of redemption.
"For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's" (1 Cor. 6:20).
One of the most damaging attitudes of our time is the exaltation of self over others. Personal rights have been promoted at the expense of others. This is not good for society and it is certainly not the way God...
PEOPLE HAVE ASK ME HOW I KNOW JESUS ROSE FROM THE DEAD. I TELL THEM THAT THE BIBLE SAYS HE DID AND I BELIEVE THE BIBLE. ALSO, I KNOW HE IS ALIVE BECAUSE I FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM EVERY DAY AND I CAN FEEL HIS PRESENCE. AND, I KNOW BECAUSE HE HAS HEALED ME OF MANY THINGS. I GUESS THE MOST IMPORTANT WAY I KNOW IS BY FAITH.
The four gospels refer to Jesus teaching 43 times, preaching 19 times, and preaching and teaching in the same verse, six times. This indicates that Jesus spent twice as much time teaching as He did preaching. Teaching is the basic building block for making disciples. Jesus was making disciples, not just converts.
The Greek word for "disciple" literally means "a learner," and indicates "learning by endeavor" or what we would call "on-the-job training." Jesus said in John 8:31, "If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed." Anyone who meets this criterion is Jesus' disciple.

In Romans chapter one, Paul calls himself a servant of Jesus Christ. Out of the six Greek words for "servant" used in the New Testament, Paul used one of the most slavish terms possible. The word used in this passage is "doulos" and comes from the root word "deo" which means "bind." Paul literally speaks of himself as a bondman or slave of Jesus Christ - a slave by free choice; yet owned and purchased by Jesus Christ.
The idea of being a love-slave by choice comes from Old Testament passages such as Exodus 21:2-6 and Deuteronomy 15:12-17. If an Israelite bought a Hebrew slave, he must set him free in the seventh year. However, if the slave loved his master and said, "I will not go away from thee," then a...
