YESTERDAY I WROTE ABOUT HAVING FAITH TO HEAL THE SICK AND I HAVE A FEW MORE THOUGHT AND SCRIPTURES ON HEALING THAT I WOULD LIKE TO SHARE WITH YOU. IN 1ST PETER 2:24 IT SAYS "by whose stripes ye were healed
There is still a future judgment of the world coming, where the wicked will be separated from the righteous and cast into the lake of fire. This verse refers to the sins of the world that were about to be placed on Jesus and that He would suffer our punishment.
Jesus suffered the punishment for our sins, so there is no reason why we should suffer for them too. The price for sin has already been paid by the only one who could fully pay it and that is Jesus. All Jesus asks of us to make His redemption ours, is faith in Him as our Lord.
Sin has a wage it must pay and no one can avoid payday without faith in Jesus. Anyone who does not receive the new birth will be held liable for all the wrong they committed as a result of their sinful nature. However, those who receive the new...
This is the third time recorded in the gospels that the Father spoke in an audible voice to or about Jesus (First, at Jesus' baptism in the Jordan River and second, at the transfiguration of Jesus).
This verse makes it clear that it was a voice that the Father spoke in; however, there were different reports of the same event. Some people heard a voice and thought it was an angel who spoke. Others thought it was thunder.
This illustrates "the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned" (1 Cor. 2:14). A carnal man with a hardened heart will always find some natural explanation for the supernatural even if he...

WHAT DOES IT MEAN TO BE CHRIST LIKE?
In one word, I believe, HUMBLE! We try to live a good life, and we know when we give our lives to the Lord. We are commanded to be Christ like, to live in righteousness, and to be holy!
Even though, the most of us fail at that miserably! I know I do! We get a sense that because we feel we are good people, that is enough! But is it?
Let me ask you a few questions:
1. When you come across a homeless person, do you actually stop to help? Or, do you just pretend not to see the person in need, and just keep going?
2. Nursing homes are full of old people that, many have been placed there and forgotten. Have you ever visited a nursing home, just to get to know a resident or two?
3. Do you know your neighbors name? And do you reach out, to...
Philip and Andrew had just brought word to Jesus that certain Greeks or Gentiles were seeking Him at the feast. He had ministered to other Gentiles, but this is the first time that the Gentiles came specifically to seek Him instead of what He could do. Apparently, this was an added signal to Jesus that His time had come and that He could no longer confine His ministry to only the Jews. Therefore, He made statements about His death and glorification, that would break down the middle wall of partition between the Jew and the Gentile.
There was a physical wall of partition that symbolized this division in the Jerusalem temple. The Gentiles could come into a designated area of the temple known as the court of the Gentiles, but a stone wall, about five feet high,...
