Daughter, Your Faith Has Healed You

The same Jesus who healed them still walks among us by His Spirit today. His power hasn’t diminished. His compassion hasn’t changed. His willingness to heal, restore, and make whole is as strong now as it was then. Faith still draws His power, still halts Him in His tracks, and causes Him to turn and say, “Daughter, Son, your faith has made you whole.”

So if you’re tired, if you’ve tried everything and nothing has worked - raise your hands, lift your heart, and place your trust in Him. Because when faith touches Jesus, power still flows, and the same love that healed them all those years ago can heal you today.

Covenants Part 2

1. Great Commission – Make Disciples

Matthew 28:18-19 (ESV): 18 And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. 19 Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, 20 teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.”

2. Live the Kingdom Life – Jesus’ Life

 Righteousness, Peace, Joy, Love, Power & Purpose

 Overcome,  Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out demons (Matt 10:8)
3. Spread the CULTURE OF HEAVEN to all nations, just like Jesus did.

The Laying On Of Hands

If we, as His people, refuse to lay hands on the sick world that is outside our four walls, how will they ever receive His healing touch?

Today, I believe that as we pray and lay hands on those who are willing, God will do what His Word has promised He will move. As He touches you and imparts His Spirit’s power, that blessing is not meant to stop with you. You are called to pass it on lay hands on those around you so that what you have received, others may also receive.

 

Covenants Part 1

Jesus said...”All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to Him...and we are to make disciples of all nations, baptizing them and teaching them to observe the things Jesus commanded...We are Supposed to Be Making Disciples of Jesus, NOT OURSELVES. We are supposed to spread the CULTURE OF HEAVEN to all nations, just like Jesus did. That CULTURE is full of righteousness, peace, joy, love, power and purpose. OUR JOB is to live that culture, and to spread it everywhere we go...WORK, SCHOOL, GROCERY STORE, WALMART...EVERYWHERE

What will happen if we don’t fulfill our responsibilities? Our children and their children and their children, our neighbors, our friends, our loved ones will not know the Lord. IT’S OUR RESPONSIBILITY TO MAKE SURE THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN.

Healing All

 I want you to know that the same God is here today. He’s the same yesterday, today, and forever. When we pray God does’ things, we need to continue to believe when we pray, that He’s going to do something. And when we pray, if nothing happens visibly, we don’t need to be telling ourselves nothing happened. We need to believe that something happened and is going to happen. We’ve got to believe in God, that He is faithful

Acts 1:8 (ESV) But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.”

 

The Ten Commandments Part 6

St. Augustine said, “If anyone fails to honor his parents, is there anyone he will spare?” This is where we learn to live with other people. This is where we learn that there are authority structures in the world. The family is where we learn about respect and obedience and hopefully (if it is a good family) about love and protection.

The Baptism In The Spirit

We have seen that the baptism with the Holy Spirit is a definitive, distinctive, and distributing experience that was an expectation of the Lord, His apostles, and for believers of all ages and all times. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God coming upon a believer, taking possession of their faculties, and imparting to them gifts not naturally their own, but which qualify them for the service to which God has called them.

The Ten Commandments Part 5

The Sabbath principle has always pointed in the direction of trust. Do you have faith enough to stop striving and start worshiping? Sabbath rest is about making Jesus Christ the center of who we are. It means ceasing to find approval in others, stopping the foolish quest for our own righteousness, and trusting that true health, strength, vitality, and freedom can be found only when we cease from our labors and rest in His.

The Cost of Being Called

Our call will be marked by trials, temptations, and moments when giving up seems easier than pressing forward. But for those who endure to the end, there is a reward— not just survival, but the crown of life, eternal recognition from the King of kings Himself. As He turns and says to us "Well done, good and faithful servant."
