DIVINE
HEALING
through
faith in
JESUS
CHRIST
by
Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
"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." (Isaiah 53:5)
THE
PRAYER OF FAITH SHALL SAVE THE SICK
"Is
any sick among you? Let me call for the elders of the church; and
let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord.
And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him
up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him."
(James 5:14-15)
"All
things are possible to him that believeth." (Mark 9:23)
Multitudes
today are suffering from a disease or infirmity with no relief.
They have frequented doctors, clinics and hospitals with little or no
help - and many people are discouraged, angry and bitter! Many
people have prayed earnestly - but have not been healed and feel that God
does not hear them.
"Many
are the afflictions of the righteous; but the Lord delivereth him out of
them all." (Psalms 34:19)
IS
THERE ANY SICK AMONG YOU? THERE IS HEALING THROUGH THE PRAYER OF
FAITH
"Ask,
and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall
be opened unto you: For everyone that asketh receiveth; and he that
seeketh findeth; and to him that knocked it shall be opened."
(Matthew 7:7-8)
You
must have faith, for the Bible says, ..."For the prayer of faith
shall save the sick.." (James 5:15)
Many
people have gone to their church and requested prayer by the pastor or
the elders and are still sick and not healed. Others have gone to
huge evangelistic crusades seeking healing from Jesus Christ - but still
they are not healed. These people become very discouraged and begin
to lose the faith in God and in healing.
You
may be reading this booklet and you may be discouraged. You may
feel that God doesn't care or hear your prayers. Your faith may be
worn down or gone completely, and you are tired or being tired,
sick and defeated.
You
may feel like throwing up your hands in despair since nothing helps
and your are ready to accept your weakness, your pain, your sickness and
distress as your lot in life.
THERE
IS STILL HOPE FOR YOU - DO NOT GIVE UP
Do
not despair, it's not too late for you. It may seem hopeless, but
it is not. It may seem useless to think of deliverance or healing,
but IT IS NOT. As long as you are alive, and as long as you have
faith - and as long as there is a GOD in Heaven - there is still HOPE!
The
Bible says, "With men this is impossible, but not with God, for with
God all things are possible." (Mark 10:27) It may seem
impossible to you but with God NOTHING is impossible.
JESUS
IS HOPE FOR THE HOPELESS
Man's
extremity becomes God's opportunity. When man fails, that's
when GOD can take over, for GOD never fails. When man "gives up on
you", GOD is ready, willing and able to step in and bring to pass a
miracle in your life, because nothing is impossible with Him."
When
God could bring the world into being by His spoken Word, hang the
universe on nothing, fling the sun, moon and stars into the far most
corner of the night to rotate in perfect harmony, HE CAN ANSWER YOUR
PRAYER.
"By
the Word of the Lord were the heavens made; and all the host of them by
the breath of His mouth." (Psalm 33:6). KJV
Since
GOD has the ability to create millions of moons, galaxies of stars
and heavenly bodies by a few words from Hs lips, most assuredly He is
able to destroy the cancer, heart disease, diabetes or arthritis which is
stealing your health.
With
just the touch of His hand, GOD created a perfect human being in his own
image. GOD then breathed into man's nostrils the breath of
life, making him a living soul. If GOD could do all this with JUST
a touch of His hand - surely he can HEAL your sick spirit, heal your sick
soul (mind) or heal your sick body.
The
Great GOD who brought back to life the LORD Jesus Christ, can certainly
quicken your mortal body. When you think of how great and mighty
our GOD is, certainly nothing could be impossible to Him!
St.
Paul declares: "But if the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from
the dead dwell in you, He that raised up Christ from the dead shall also
quicken - make life in - your mortal (temporal, dying) bodies by His
Spirit that dwelleth in you." (Romans 8:11)
IS
GOD ABLE TO HEAL THE SICK ? YES HE IS ABLE
Is
God able to heal our weak, aging, temporal bodies? Yes, He is able to and
He does! Since He (the Holy Spirit) brought Jesus Christ back from
the dead, He can most certainly heal our diseased and dying bodies, says
St. Paul.
In
Romans 8:26, the great apostle continues, "Likewise the Spirit also
helpeth our infirmities (lit. greek - takes a hold of against our
sicknesses): for we know not what we should pray for as we ought: but the
Spirit itself (Himself) maketh intercession for us (lit. greek - and
together with us) with groanings (Holy Spirit prayer - praying in
tongues) which cannot be uttered."
The
same Blessed Holy Spirit Who raised Jesus Christ from the dead dwells
within us and "takes a hold of against our sickness" and
"together with us" prays to our Heavenly Father for our healing
and deliverance!
YOU
MUST HAVE FAITH
The
Bible says, "All things are possible to him that believeth."
(Mark 9:23) The first truth we have established is that your case is not
too difficult for God and there is a good possibility of your healing to
take place. But the Bible also states that you must believe and you
must have faith that you will receive healing.
"The
thief cometh not but for to steal and to kill and destroy, but I am come
that they might have life and have it more abundantly." (John 10:10)
Jesus
stated that the devil came for only three reasons; to steal, kill and
destroy! But Jesus came to bring life! The devil is a thief and a
murderer (John 8:44) and came only to do evil (steal, kill and destroy).
He came to rob you of your happiness, joy, peace, health and blessing. He
came to harm you and destroy you in a hospital, insane asylum or prison.
The
devil is cruel, perverted, evil, wicked and ungodly. He can only do evil.
He has no capability to do good. The devil is the death giver!
JESUS
IS 100% GOOD! He came to bring life. He came to bring blessings
to all who would believe. He came to bring ABUNDANT LIFE because he
is THE LIFE GIVER! Some people have given the devil the credit for
healing sick people - this is blasphemous and utterly false. It is
contrary to God’s Word and accuses Jesus of telling an untruth.
JESUS
CHRIST IS TRUTH & LIFE
We
know that Jesus is the truth, the life and the way (John 14:6). The Word
of God is pure, divine and infallible!
Jesus
said that you cannot get good fruit from a corrupt tree or corrupt frit
from a good tree. By their fruits we shall know them! Jesus
said a corrupt tree "bringeth not forth good fruit" (Matthew
7:18) It is against the law of a thorn tree to bring forth figs -
you can't get sweet water out of a fountain that is bitter.
Jesus
called the devil a thief who came only to steal, kill and destroy. He
came to earth for no other purpose! Jesus came to bring life! Healing and
health is life! Sickness and disease brings death! The Bible classifies
'healing' as 'doing good'!
"How
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power, Who
went about doing good, healing all who were oppressed of the devil."
(Acts 10:38)
The
message is plain and simple: The devil made people sick but Jesus made
them well. Sickness comes from satanic sources and divine healing has its
origin in God! The literal Greek states that Jesus Christ healed
all those who "were under the dominion, authority or lordship of
Satan." That is God's Word - Believe it and be healed.
Oh I know there are times that it appears witch doctors and other
occultists may have affected cures by their incantations. Do not be
deceived. Satan is a deceiver and manipulator. In the end,
his involvement always brings enslavement, torment & death.
The
magicians (witch doctors and soothsayers) of Egypt could duplicate many
of the miracles performed by Moses in the sight of Pharaoh (king) of
Egypt. There were two things they could not do, however.
No.
1 - The magicians could not get rid of the plagues even though they
could duplicate Moses in bringing forth the flies and frogs. Moses had to
be called to get rid of the plagues: examples: darkness,
flies, frogs, lice, locusts. Interpretation: Satan can bring the cancer
but he has no power to heal the person from the death dealing work of the
disease which he has brought. God is the only healer and restorer!
No.
2 - When it comes to creating life, the magicians could not create
lice out of dust as Moses did in the Name of the Lord.
The
magicians said to Pharaoh, "This is the finger of God." (Exodus
8:19) Here is the interpretation: Satan is a deceiver and trickster but
he has no power to do good, heal, save or create life! All he can do is
deceive, lie, steal and kill! Only God can heal and create life and
sustain it!
There
are some things you must do if you are to be healed. Study the accounts
of sick folk - in the Bible - who were healed, and if you do what they
did, you will certainly receive healing, because Jesus Christ is no
respecter of persons!
WHAT
MUST I DO TO BE HEALED THROUGH FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST
No.
1 - Worship Jesus Christ
No. 2 - Humble yourself before God
No. 3 - Believe in God's Integrity, ability and willingness to keep
his promises
No. 4 -Take God at his word and have faith and keep having faith - as God
to increase your faith
No. 5 - In Faith receive Jesus Christ as your Lord and Healer - as
he promised to you
#1
- WORSHIP JESUS CHRIST
There
is only ONE HEALER, Jesus Christ. He alone is the Great Physician. Seek
Him and worship Him, and turn from every known sin. Seek the Healer and
not the healing!
Focus
your attention on Jesus. Worship, praise and magnify His Name and His
love, forgiveness and healing will automatically flow into you!
"And,
behold, there came a leper and worshipped Him, saying, Lord, if Thou
wilt, Thou canst make me clean. And Jesus put forth His hand, and touched
him, saying, I will, be thou clean. And immediately his leprosy was
cleansed." (Matthew 8:2-3)
By
seeking God through Jesus Christ, you will establish a vital contact with
the Great Physician and receive your miracle! People who seek only a
healing or a miracle without worshipping God, will be greatly
disappointed.
Always
remember, knowing GOD through Jesus Christ and the Blessed Holy Spirit -
without being healed physically - is far more advantageous than getting
only a physical healing miracle without receiving Jesus Christ as Saviour
and Lord.
Jarius
was in a desperate situation. His daughter was at the point of death when
he decided to seek out the Master. Here is the Bible account.
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. Jesus arose, and followed him, so
did His disciples.
"And,
behold, a woman, which was diseased with an issue of blood twelve years,
came behind Him, and touched the hem of His garment: For she said within
herself, If I may but touch His garment, I shall be whole. But Jesus
turned Him about, and when He saw her, He said, Daughter, be of good
comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole. And the woman was made whole
from that hour."
"And
when Jesus came into the ruler's house, and saw the minstrels and the
people making a noise, He said unto them, Give place: for the maid is not
dead, but sleepeth. And they laughed Him to scorn. But when the people
were put forth, He went in, and took her by the hand, and the maid
arose." (Matthew 9:18-25)
CANAANITE
WOMAN WORSHIPS JESUS AND JESUS HEALS HER DAUGHTER
"And,
behold, a woman of Canaan came out of the same coasts, and cried unto
Him, saying, Have mercy on me, O Lord, thou son of David; my daughter is
grievously vexed with a devil. But He answered her not a word. And His
disciples came and besought Him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth
after us. But He answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep
of the house of Israel. hen came she and worshipped Him, saying,
Lord, help me."
"But
He answered and said, It is not meet to take the children’s bread, and
to cast it to dogs. And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the
crumbs which fall from their masters’ table. Then Jesus answered and
said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou
wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour." (Matthew
15:22-28)
The
Bible states, "And as they went to tell His disciples. behold, Jesus
met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and
worshipped Him." (Matthew 28:9)
GOD
HEARS THE PRAYERS AND ANSWERS THE PRAYERS OF THOSE WHO WORSHIP HIM
Without
doubt, God hears and answers the prayers of those who worship Him. And
all who are saved and healed by God’s power WILL desire to worship Him!
The
blind man whom Jesus healed is a good example of that fact: "Jesus
heard that they had cast him out; and when He had found him, He said unto
him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is
He, Lord, that I might believe on Him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast
both seen Him, and it is He that talketh with thee."
"And
he said, Lord, I believe. And he worshipped Him." (John
9:35-38) To the Samaritan woman, Jesus said, "But the
hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the
Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship
him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship Him must worship Him in
spirit and in truth." (John 4:23-24)
#2
- YOU MUST HUMBLE YOURSELF
Pride
is a gigantic hindrance to receiving divine healing! "But He
answered and said it is not meet to take the children's bread, and to
cast it to dogs."
"And
she said, truth, Lord, yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from
their master's table. Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman,
great is thy faith, be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter
was made whole from that very hour." (Matthew 15:26-28)
Here
is the account of a Canaanite woman humbling herself in the sight of God.
When she did, Jesus granted her request! Her daughter was healed!
Here
is another example of how God rewards humility with healing
"So
Naaman came with his horses and with his chariot, and stood at the door
of the house of Elisha. And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go
and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee,
and thou shalt be clean."
“But
Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will
surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his
God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper. Are not
Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of
Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away
in a rage."
"And
his servants came near, and spake unto him, and said, My father, if the
prophet had bid thee do some great thing, wouldest thou not have done it?
how much rather then, when he saith to thee, Wash, and be clean?"
"Then
went he down, and dipped himself seven times in Jordan, according to the
saying of the man of God: and his flesh came again like unto the flesh of
a little child, and he was clean." (2 Kings 5:9-14)
Many
people believe that they will receive something from God because of WHO
THEY ARE OR THINK THEY ARE! We do not receive healing because we are
worthy, but because we are needy. And Jesus Christ met that need nearly
2000 years ago on the cross!
WE
RECEIVE HEALING FROM GOD BECAUSE OF HIS GRACE AND MERCY
Because
of the mercy and grace of God, we can receive healing from God. We
do not receive healing because we deserve it, we do not receive healing
because we give money or do charity work. We receive healing
because it is a gift from God by his mercy.
It
is only because of His great generosity and mercy to us by sending His
Son Jesus Christ, to die in our place and purchase our salvation, that we
receive forgiveness and divine healing from His gracious and loving hand!
We
must never forget that forgiveness, divine healing, the gifts and graces
of God which He bestows upon us are simply that - gifts of God's mercy to
us!
#3
- Believe in God's word and the integrity of God to keep his promises to
us
Believe
that God's Word is absolutely true and that it will never pass away! The
Heavens and the Earth will pass away, but God's Word will stand forever.
(Matthew 24:35) God's Word is as pure and divine as God Himself
(John 1:1-4).
STUDY
THE BIBLE
- The words you read in The Bible are the words of God
The
Lord GOD Almighty is "back of" His Word, and it will
never fail (1 Kings 8:56). GOD has placed "His Word"
above "His Name" (Psalms 138:2). GOD'S Word has gone out
of His mouth in righteousness and will not return void.
"So
shall My word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not
return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it
shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." (Isaiah 55:11)
God
will perform every Word He has spoken. "Then said the Lord unto me,
Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten My word to perform it."
(Jeremiah 1:12) "So shall My word be that goeth forth out of My
mouth: it shall not return unto Me void, but it shall accomplish that
which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent
it." (Isaiah 55:11) Believe that God’s Word is the final authority
and that it is good today. Then, appropriate His Word to yourself, your
own individual need.
Jesus
said, "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because He hath anointed
me to preach the gospel to the poor. He hath sent me to heal the
brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of
sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, to preach
the acceptable year of the Lord." (Luke 4:18-20).
JESUS
ASKED THE BLIND MEN, DO YOU BELIEVE I AM ABLE TO HEAL YOU ?
The
Bible says, "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the
Word of God." (Romans 10:17) Jesus asked two blind men, "Believest
thou that I am able to do this (heal them)?" They answered, “Yea,
Lord”.
Then
Jesus touched their eyes saying, "According to your faith be it unto
you", and they were instantly healed.
Jesus
said, "If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that
believeth." (Mark 9:23)
"Believe
Me that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me: or else believe Me for
the very works' sake. Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth
on Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these
shall he do; because I go unto My Father."
"And
whatsoever ye shall ask in My name, that will I do, that the Father may
be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in My name, I will do
it." (John 14:11-14)
#4
- THE BIBLE IS THE WORD OF GOD - TAKE GOD AT HIS WORD
The
Bible says, "...if thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the
LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in His sight, and wilt give
ear to His commandments, and keep all His statutes, I will put none of
these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians, for I
am the Lord that healeth thee." (Exodus 15:26)
Jesus
promised: "Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto you: For every one that asketh
receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall
be opened." (Matthew 7:7-8)
"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." (Matthew 8:16-17)
Seven
hundred years before His birth in Bethlehem, the Holy Spirit promised
divine healing through the Coming Messiah!
"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." (Isaiah 53:5)
Here
is the beginning of the fulfillment of that prophecy: "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." (1 Peter 2:24)
JESUS
GAVE HIS CHURCH (US) THREE VERY IMPORTANT SPIRITUAL LAWS
There
are three very important spiritual laws which Jesus Christ gave His
Church:
1.
The Laws of Binding & Loosing
2. The Law of Agreement
3. The Law of God's Presence
These
three laws, when acted upon in faith, bring divine healing and total
deliverance to those who call upon the Lord in sincerity and trust!
"Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be
bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed
in heaven."
"Again
I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any
thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of My Father which
is in heaven."
"For
where two or three are gathered together in My name, there am I in the
midst of them." (Matthew18:18-20)
1.
The Law of Binding & Loosing is found in Matthew 18:18
2. The Law of Agreement is contained in Matthew 18:19
3. The Law of God’s Presence is written in Matthew 18:20
For
a full treatment of this subject, write for booklet on 'The Laws of God
& Divine Healing'!
#5
- RECEIVE JESUS CHRIST AS YOUR HEALER
Confess
to the Lord that you Believe His Word and that you Know He is your
Healer!
Concur
with the Scriptures. Agree with Jesus Christ, that you Accept His
promises as true and infallible! Confess to Him that you Believe that
"By His Stripes you are Healed."
Then,
Thank Him for healing you and Trust the Lord for complete deliverance.
Relax and get well for according to His Word, He has healed you!
The
Bible says, "Commit thy way unto the Lord; trust also in Him; and He
shall bring it to pass." (Psalm 37:5)
Jesus
said, "Therefore I say unto you, what things soever ye desire, when
ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them."
(Mark 11:24)
You
may receive an IMMEDIATE healing miracle. You may be healed
suddenly or you may begin to amend as also happened in the ministry of
our Lord Jesus Christ.
"Then
enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto
him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew
that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son
liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house." (John 4:52-53)
GET
EXCITED AND READ WITH JOY THESE WORDS OF HEALING
READ
WITH JOY THESE WORDS OF LIFE: "Is any sick among you? let him call
for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the
sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins,
they shall be forgiven him."
"Confess
your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be
healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth
much." (James 5:14-16)
You
may receive divine healing in one of various ways - through the laying on
of hands, anointing with oil, prayer of agreement or praying alone to our
Heavenly Father in Jesus' dear Name, in your home!
GOD
CAN HEAL YOU WHERE EVER YOU ARE, AT ANY TIME, IF YOU ARE ALONE OR WITH
OTHERS
It
really doesn't matter at all which way the LORD God heals you. As
long as you are healed is all that matters. Praise be the LORD !
PRAISE
& WORSHIP THE LORD AND GIVE GOD ALL THE GLORY
Give
God all the glory. Share with others what God has done so that you may
rejoice together and glorify the Name of Jesus. Remember, Jesus said in
Mark 9:23 - "ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE TO HIM THAT BELIEVETH."
Allow
me now to offer a prayer to God on your behalf.
"Kind
Heavenly Father, I pray in Jesus' Name that you will extend Your hand of
mercy, forgiveness and divine healing right now to each and everyone who
is reading this booklet.
Upon
the authority of God's Word, by the blood of the everlasting covenant,
through the eternal Spirit of God and in Jesus' all powerful Name, I
command Satan to take his hands off each one reading this booklet now!
Every
evil spirit of torment, infirmity and unrighteousness must leave NOW, in
Jesus' Name.
Heavenly
Father, please lay your healing hand on the sick, infirm and sinful right
now and save, heal and deliver them all. THANK YOU LORD. I BELIEVE
IT IS DONE!"
OUR
WORLD IS IN CRISIS
HOW TO
PUT THE WORLD
BACK TOGETHER
by: Pastor Max Solbrekken, D.D.
And
mankind hasn't changed over the millennia's. There has been no
evolution of the human spirit,
mind or body. Except perhaps, a degradation or devolving of the human
spirit.. A deterioration of man's desires, goals and aspirations has
occurred and at the same time mankind has had an increase in lust, fear,
hatred and greed!
WITH
TWO WORLD WARS AND
HUNDREDS OF SMALLER CONFLICTS, PEOPLE ARE
LIVING IN FEAR OF WHAT WILL HAPPEN NEXT
It's
no wonder we've had two world
wars this century, with hundreds of smaller conflicts across the
planet.
Word
War III is still ominously lurking somewhere on the horizon.
The entire world is living in fear of what is next to come, as the
conflicts, fighting and religious wars continue.
Violence,
murder, drug abuse and other criminal activities have escalated at a
frightening rate, suicides have spiraled, herpes II is almost epidemic
and AIDS may soon bankrupt our health systems!
HOW
DO WE CHANGE THE WORLD?
How
do we usher in the era of brotherly love, kindness, peace and
understanding we all crave for? How can we fix the world that is so
badly damaged?
What
is the needed ingredient that is missing in today's peace conferences and
boards of inquiry into drug addiction, alcoholism, suicide, family
breakdown, child abuse and racism?
Certainly,
our educational system is unable to communicate love, and impart it to
the students. We read with alarm of the tragic rise of bullying and
violence by juvenile delinquents against younger kids in the schools.
This violence has escalated into horrific incidents of killing, murder,
suicide and terror for those involved in the school and college
shootings. example: ( Columbine
school massacre killings )
All
our anti-racial and anti-hate laws will never eradicate the awful stigma
of bias and prejudice from people. They may even be anti-productive
in eroding our basic freedoms. Taking from good people the right to free
speech and expression, while the bigots still hate and feel superior
certainly cannot build a better society! YOU
CANNOT LEGISLATE LOVE!
COMPASSION,
CARING & LOVE MUST BE BORN WITHIN BY A FORCE OF GOOD
You
cannot legislate caring, compassion or love, you cannot make a law saying
you must love others or face criminal charges. Caring, sharing
and compassion must be born within by a force of good, which has invaded
and possessed our beings. This force of good is what changes us from
the inside!
In
other words when we are spiritually born-again, the desire to hate leaves
and instead a strong urge to love and befriend people automatically moves
into action.
Our
nature is changed by the overwhelming influence of the Holy Spirit of God
in a life transforming action called the New Birth. And the subsequent
Baptism of the Holy Spirit!
It's
not difficult to love people when there is no hate in the heart. When
the animosity is gone! And the devil has left!
When
no fear remains, it's easy to feel safe. When all torments have gone,
it's not difficult to know peace and when the depression and sadness has
lifted, joy fills the vacuum.
THE
WICKED ARE DRIVEN BY EVIL SPIRITUAL FORCES WHICH
ARE UNCLEAN DEMONS & SPIRITS
The
sadist wants to injure, the rapist subjugate, torture and sexually molest
and the killer desires to put out the light of life. They are being
driven by evil spirits, unclean demons of darkness!
SPIRITUAL
FORCES ARE AT WORK WORLD WIDE
CAUSING DEATH, ABUSE, PERVERSION
New
York Times reporter, McCandish Phillips stated recently, "Spiritual
forces are massively at work in North America causing a rise of drug
abuse, sexual perversion, the occult and the breakdown of the nation's
morals".
When
Jesus Christ - the Prince of Life and Light - comes in, all the evil
spirits depart; for light dispels darkness and good destroys evil.
When
Jesus Christ takes over your life, mind & heart it is then easy to
forgive, bless, help and share!
WHAT
DO WE NEED TO CHANGE THE WORLD?
What
we need to change and fix the world is one missing ingredient. This
ingredient is God's divine 'Agape' Love which so changes the
individual that he begins to think like God thinks, love like God loves
and act like God acts!
WHAT
IS AGAPE LOVE?
What
does "Agape" Love mean? Agape love is pure and simple:
unconditional love! Love so pure that actions are motivated by pure,
selfless compassion and caring!
A
preacher was preparing his Sunday sermon on a Saturday morning. His wife
had gone shopping, leaving little seven year old Johnny with his daddy.
The
little fellow was in and out of his Dad's office every 10 minutes or so.
Restless, energetic and bored! His Dad kept giving him magazines to leaf
through, books to read or blocks to play with. Johnny read them all in a
few minutes and clearly was looking for some new adventure.
He
was full of questions and wanted to look through his Dad's files.
The
pastor then got a brilliant idea. He tore off the back cover of one of
his magazines which had a very large photo of the globe on it. Then he
cut it into small pieces.
PUT
THE WORLD BACK TOGETHER!
"Here,
my son," he said. "Use this scotch tape and put the world back
together again."
Within
7 or 8 minutes the little fellow was back knocking on the pastor's door.
"I've
got the world back together, Dad. I've got the world back together,"
he shouted. Excitedly his father jumped from his desk. He ran out into
the den. It was true. His son had done the impossible. He had put the
world back together from little bits.
How
had he done it? How had his small son put the world back together.
His son must be a genius. It was a job that would have taken an adult at
least an hour or more.
Johnny
just smiled and said, "I've looked through that magazine many times
Dad, and I noticed that on the inside of the cover was a full length
picture of a man.
"When
I put the man together, the world automatically had come back
together."
HERE
IS THE KEY TO CHANGING THE WORLD AND PUTTING
THE WORLD BACK TOGETHER
Herein
lies the key to our world's major spiritual, moral, sociological,
psychological and economic problems!
That's
why St. Paul wrote: "If any man be in Christ Jesus, he is a new
creature, old things are passed away. All things become new". (2
Corinthians 5:17)
The
gospel of Christ changes the individual from the inside out. The
Bible addresses the real problems of life and declares that UNBELIEF,
REBELLION & DISOBEDIENCE - which is sin - are the root causes of all
our problems. And once this is settled we receive God's peace, a stable
mind, good morals and the strength to cope with the pressures of life!
"Verily,
verily, I say unto you, He that heareth My word, and believeth on Him
that sent Me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into
condemnation; but is passed from death unto life." (John 5:24)
Jesus
said, "Ye shall know the truth and the truth shall make you
free". (John 8:32)
What
is the truth?
Jesus
said, "I am the way, the truth and the life and no man cometh
unto the father but by Me". (John 14:6)
He
also stated, "Thy word O God is truth". (John 17:17)
Jesus
is the living Word of God and the Bible is the written Word of God. And
if you will read, believe and obey God's Word, Jesus will come out of its
pages and come into you heart!
The
Bible says, "Except a man be born again, he cannot see (or enter)
into the kingdom of God". (John 3:3-7)
Receive
Jesus Christ into your heart today my friend and you will be born again
and the world will automatically become a better place.
GOD
BLESS YOU
