THE EAR
In the Name of our Lord, Jesus Christ, there is going to be a supernatural breakthrough today. Let’s open our bibles to the book of Luke, chapter twenty two and verse fifty. The word of God says: “And one of them smote the servant of the high priest, and cut off his right ear.” In verse 51 it states: “And Jesus answered and said, “Suffer yea thus far,” and He touched his ear, and healed him.” Please repeat after
me, “God, I am here and you are there. Change me, or end me. Amen.” Pretty strong words, huh? There are several points that are going to be brought up today. Point number one: Sometimes we are hurt by a child of God. Many times it doesn’t have to be an enemy that hurts us. In fact, it’s usually someone within our own household or within the family of Christ. Judas was always with the Master, but ended up being a fake, a hypocrite, hummm, what do you call those people,
hummm, jerks, I guess you could say. Did Jesus forgive Judas? Well, that brings us to point number two: Do not wait for an apology in order to forgive. Forgive and get on with your spiritual and earthly life. You know, if Jesus would not have forgiven Judas, His death would have been in vain. Jesus forgave because He loved. Prophecy had to be fulfilled. What happened after His death? He was resurrected from the dead and with glory and power surprised those who wouldn’t believe. He even surprised those who believed. You know, I believe that when we reach heaven there are going to be three surprises we are all going to have. One of the surprises is that we are going to see how beautiful
heaven is. We have heard of how beautiful the lakes are going to be, how shiny the golden roads are going to be, but we also know that human minds cannot think the way God’s mind does. I mean, if God took the time to make me so good looking, imagine the streets of
heaven. Come on, go with me, imagine walking down Handsome and Glorified Drive, named after me, and having angels bless each other just to take a picture of me and being able to say with our glorified bodies, “What side do you want? This good side, or my other good side?” Well, this place is going to be so beautiful that not even the minds of all men together can come up with a place like this on earth, amen? The
second surprise will be that you will like totally surprised to see all these different people you didn’t even think were gonna make it. I mean, you will probably be thinking within yourself as you see them,
“Me hizo la vida imposible,” but that patience you had towards them was a living testimony and was a seed you sowed within their hearts that in that time of despair they were having, in that time of need, in that time of which they were desperate for something to change, they remembered of when they told you off, but since you were a Holy Ghost filled christian, you didn’t respond, but instead were willing to forgive and showed patience and you showed the peace of God over you. They kept on remembering how you reacted in that situation in particular, so different and so full of wisdom and something began to stir up in their hearts to the point that they wanted that peace during their agony and inclined themselves to the Lord and surrendered. Then, God worked a miracle in his or her life and they received the Lord Jesus Christ as
their personal Savior. It’s extremely important to show the fruit of patience and forbearing love. Especially in a time like that, love unconditionally. I’m telling you, even if Buddy is annoying, love on him
and he just might change! Third surprise, ready for this one? They are going to be surprised to see you there! You know, there is a spirit that makes you bitter, feo, apestoso, prieto, and gross. That’s the spirit of unforgiveness. No tienes novia, mucho menos esposa, nobody wants to be with you. Hasta el perro te corre a ti de la casa, and you end up looking like a fish! None of those characteristics will ever leave you until you deal with your hurting. If you see a person with a fish face, a shopping cart full of junk food, and a really nice car you’ve got yourself
a person with unforgiveness there. She doesn’t smile for anything in the world, not even when she looks at how funny looking Buddy is, she goes home, puts on Oprah, eats the junk food because she has been in
that teenage depressive mood for 40 years, and likes to show off her car because she wants others to feel low like her. Do you want to end up living like that? Well, I wouldn’t mind owning the nice car, but looking just as bad as how you feel? Anyhow, let me tell you something, unforgiveness is not being christian - like and if you are not being like
Christ, you are being like the devil and unforgiveness is the devil dwelling in you. It’s time to react to this, people, and get all these little hidden sins that we are not aware about out of our lives. There is a man who pastors in Argentina. The Argentine Revival is one of the longest going revivals in the history of this world. Rev. Sergio Scataglini, Rev. Pablo Botarri, and Rev. Steve Hill have hosted in these
meetings, and the revival fires are spread amongst the areas these pastors and evangelists minister in. The Brownsville Revival in Pensacola, Florida is a flame that was ignited by Rev. Steve Hill. The head of the Argentine Revival is Rev. Carlos Anacondia. This man
holds meetings that consist of hundreds of thousands of people. This man is a short, dark, skinny man, but like David, he has the strongest force that anyone can have on his side, the Lord, God Almighty! His top priority in his services was to see the greatest miracle to happen: Salvation. Right after he would make that altar call, he would humble himself to the lowest point any human can humble himself before God
and beg the Lord for His mercy to dwell upon him. He would plead the blood of Christ upon his soul, his life, and with great authority, he would stand to his feet, and shout with a great voice, “In the Name of
the Lord, Jesus Christ, I rebuke and I order every demon out of these people, now, in Jesus’ Name!” Thousands among thousands of people were being delivered from demonic oppression and activity within their lives. Amongst the thousands that were delivered, most of them had been demon possessed due to the spirit of unforgiveness. Now, I ask,
“Have you forgiven?” Have you released that demonic force of unforgiveness out of your life? “Well, I can’t forgive her. She hurt me so bad.” If you are hurt, then, let Jesus heal you. Do not trade hell for
forgiveness. Verse 51, once more, says: “And Jesus answered and said, “Suffer yea thus far,” and He touched his ear, and healed him.” Everybody’s got a “Somebody’s done somebody wrong song”.
Some of you do not let Jesus heal you because you like to take that bloody ear to show everyone else what happened to you! “Boo hoo hoo, sniff. Look, my bloody ear. Look what he said to me. Look what he did to me, sniff
sniff, tear drop.” Get over it, dawg! Then, if they get the, “oooh, poor baby, don’t talk to them anymore. Let’s get even with them,” response from someone, it’s like putting more wood into the fire. Con mas ganas
se chiflan and they end up with their bottle again. You ever seen a baby with a bottle. You try to take it away and the little 5 year old baby is like, “No! My bottle.” Then he gets the bottle and shouts, “Not
the mama!” Todo chiflado con ganas de pegarle con la bottle! I mean, have you ever met a little boy or a little girl like that? They are really spoiled, but smart, and they don’t forget how you got after them. You try to sow a little bit of love into them by saying, “Oh, come on, baby, let me see how big you are already,” and their response is, “No! You mean!” They develop a “kid grudge” against you. It’s the same way within adults. They develop a grudge and like to get it nurtured and fed as much as they can and live in a bitter and demon tormented world
because they are just constantly thinking of how they were hurt by the other person. I say that if there’s anything worse than arthritis, it’s grudgitis. People take other people’s “boo hoo’s” and nurse them. They
go from place to place rehearsing it over and over again, and finally they end up alone, wishing that someone would communicate with them, and if someone does, they scare them away with their attitude. That just simply becomes you. Is that how you want to feel? Is that what you want to end up like? If you need inner healing, it’s as simple as forgiving and letting Jesus take your “bloody ear” and heal it.
Perhaps you were abused physically, sexually, mentally, or maybe even emotionally. Maybe even in all those ways or maybe in none of those ways, but perhaps you lost a loved one and developed a grudge against God. Maybe you were neglected by someone you deeply cared for. Now is the time to control this. Now is the time for your healing in Jesus Name. Do you want to be set free this hour? Do you want Jesus to come and heal your ear, to stop the bleeding, to stop the pain? Let’s stand...
