Where Are the 90 and 9 ??

  Practice Righteousness which includes the Gifts of the Spirit Where Are the 90 and 9 ?? We are familiar with the story of Jesus healing ten lepers and instructing them to go show themselves to the priest so that they might enjoy being back in company with healthy people. One man was so grateful that he returned to bow down and worship Jesus and give Him thanks. Jesus asked, “Where are the 9?”  Then Jesus told the man behold you are made whole.   Understand that the disease of leprosy eats away parts of the body, so it is very likely that the leprosy stopped with the healing, but they remained disfigured.   When Jesus told the ONE leper who was thankful and returned, “You are made whole.” The word "whole" means entire.  Made entirely whole, so it is no doubt this man's body was restored, repaired and made whole. As I meditated on what the Lord asked me to bring; I thought about the 99 sheep that were in the fold while the shepherd went off into the night to search f

6 Things Jesus Does with Sin – by JARED C WILSON

  Six Things Jesus Does with Sin – by JARED C. WILSON  The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!” —  John 1:29 John the Baptist commands a beholding of the sin-taking-away Lamb. What do we see in this beholding? How exactly does Jesus take away our sin? Here are 6 things Jesus does with sin: 1. He Condemns It.    Jesus puts a curse on sin. He marks its forehead. Romans 8:3  – “For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do. By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh and for sin, he condemned sin in the flesh.” Jesus says to sin in no uncertain terms, “Sin, you’re going to die.” 2. He Carries It. Like the true and better scapegoat, Jesus becomes our sin-bearer. 1 Peter 2:24  – “He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree, that we might die to sin and live to righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed.” 2 Corinthians 5:21  – “For our sake he made him t

Seeing into the Spirit Realm

  Seeing into the Spirit Realm Reading from Hebrews 1:3 “ He (Jesus) is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power.” We usually don't think about what is going on around us that we cannot see, but we need to wake up and realize that t he Spiritual Realm is always around us, no matter if we are worshiping or simply going about our daily business. The Bible tells us to come boldly into the throne room to meet God. It is a good custom to take time each morning to visit God in your secret place, be it a closet or a comfortable chair to read your Bible and have a time of worship and prayer. Usually we purpose to enter into God's throne room where we might - - or may not “feel” the glory and the presence of our Lord. Understand that regardless of feelings, know that the Holy Spirit is certainly there and gathered with Him is a heavenly host enjoying your time with God. As you read your Bible, ask

Utilizing Faith, the Anointing and The Glory of God

  Utilizing Faith, the Anointing and The Glory of God I was reminded of our recent study about Light, and that Light being Jesus. Jesus being the Light, we understand that from Him (Jesus) reflects the glory of God the Father. 2 Corinthians 4:6 For God, who said, “Light shall shine out of darkness,” is the One who has shone in our hearts to give the Light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ. Hebrews 1:3 tells us; And He (Jesus) is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Moses requested to see God's Glory. You will understand that Moses only knew of God the Father, and his first experience was at the burning bush where God spoke to him giving Moses directions how to set the Children of Israel from from their bondage. A few days later - - after Moses led the multitude out of E

The Light of Life will Heal our Soul as well as our Body

  The Light of Life will Heal our Soul as well as our Body - This message was Gleaned from Katie Souza's Book “ Be Revived.” We are reminded that the Bible says, God is Light and there is no darkness in Him at all. 1 John 1:5. Jesus said “I am the Light of the world. John 8:12 Hebrews 1:3 goes into even more detail concerning this characteristic of God and Christ. It says, “He is the sole expression of the Glory of God - - (the Light-being, the out-raying or radiance of the divine,) and He is the very image of (God's) nature.”  Luke's Gospel restates the theme of the soul being healed in His Light; Luke 11:34-36 Your eye is the lamp of your body; when your eye (your conscience) is sound and fulfilling its office, your whole body is full of light; but when it is not sound and is not fulfilling it's office, your body is full of darkness. Be careful, therefore that the light that is in you is not darkness. If then your entire body is illuminated, having no p

Drinking of the Light of Life

  Drinking of the Light of Life – Gleaned from Katie Souza's book "Be Revived" Often when people tap into “Grace” and become a “Christian,” erroneously they think they can just sit back and relax. Yet Jesus told us to pray, fast, preach the gospel, take the kingdom of heaven by force, take up serpents, drive out demons, heal the sick, cleanse lepers, raise the dead, and oh, so much more. Walking in “Grace,” doesn't excuse you from doing other good works, such as helping the poor, visiting the widows, and those alone, or what ever opportunity the Lord brings you to be kind and generous to others especially those of like precious faith. You can't work for salvation, as it is a free grace, through faith, however good works should come naturally after you are born again. As we labor for the Lord, he increases and activates life into our mortal body. Being in His presence, reading your Bible, is like you are lifted up and are for a time are in eternity where God
