Lesson Five: by turtle
Mark 3:8-15 KJV
(8) And from Jerusalem, and from Idumaea, and from beyond Jordan; and they
about Tyre and Sidon, a great multitude, when they had heard what great things
he did, came unto him.
(9) And he spake to his disciples, that a small ship should wait on him because of
the multitude, lest they should throng him.
(10) For he had healed many; insomuch that they pressed upon him for to touch
him, as many as had plagues.
(11) And unclean spirits, when they saw him, fell down before him, and cried,
saying, Thou art the Son of God.
(12) And he straitly charged them that they should not make him known.
(13) And he goeth up into a mountain, and calleth unto him whom he would: and
they came unto him.
(14) And he ordained twelve, that they should be with him, and that he might
send them forth to preach,
(15) And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
No matter where Jesus went He grew a crowd. I be honest I been doing a lot of
thinking on this. Bible clearly states when people just touched Him they were
healed. It was instant, miraculous. The purpose was to draw everyone to Him that
would believe. Today we have charlatans trying to imitate the work of Jesus. They
flash money to draw a crowd. They do nothing more then a parlor trick or a
psychological event. Real miracles take place then we know God is doing the work
and not a charlatan. Complete physical healing will take place in heaven, so if we
claim are healing we must understand that our healing might not take place tell
after death. Healing in the Biblical sense always drew men and women to God, to
Jesus.
Jesus today still instructs His followers(Christians) to lay hands on people and
pray for their healing. The church today knows God heals, but it is always His
timing and His way.
James 5:13-16 KJV
(13) Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. Is any merry? let him sing psalms.
(14) 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:
(15) 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.
(16) 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.
We must pray in faith and also get rid of any sin in our life when we seek healing.
We are to call on the elders of the church to pray for us. Very simple instructions
to the church world. And the promise of effectual fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much
When Christ walk the earth many were healed in His presence. Many just reach
out and touched Him. He sent out the twelve because there were so many needing
healing. Today Christ still send us out to pray for people. Followers still do not do
the healing only God can do the healing, He may use someone to pray for
someone, but He still does the actual work in a person. The gift of healing is so
people will know who God is and will glorify God. Man can not take the glory for
what God does. Jesus was God and healed many. Scripture is clear who Jesus is.
