Rediscovering The Power In Prayer Series

When the Lord cast out the Legion of demons that had possessed the man at Gadara, he wanted to follow Jesus. But Jesus had another plan for him, he said, ‘“Go home to your own people and tell them(A) how much the Lord has done for you, and how he has had mercy on you.”

CONCLUSION

People often ask why doesn’t God heal everyone, or I thought I was healed but then got sick again. I could preach an entire series on this topic. But let me say that one simple reason that healing may be withheld is too many people make the mistake of seeking the healing rather than the healer.

How would you feel if every time you wnet to see that ‘special person’ you say you loved, and he/she seemed more interested in the gifts you bought her/him than simply being with you?

Healing should take a secondary role as we concentrate our efforts on getting to know Jesus more and more.

Jesus gave a promise in John 15, ‘whatever you ask in my name the Father will give you.’

However, in the verses immediately preceeding this promise, Jesus gave a condition, ‘“As the Father has loved me,(M) so have I loved you. Now remain in my love. ‘

What is your need today? Do you know Him today? You can trsut Him with whatever your need is.

He is omniscient, all Knowing- He never makes a mistake in the diagnosis.

He is omnipresent. No matter where you are, He is at hand ready and available.

He is omnipotent- all powerful. There is nothing He cannot do.

He is available to all. He will not turn down a new client. He invites you to trust Him.

Jesus love and compassion are the same today as when He walked this earth. His power has never diminished. All things are possible with Him. The One who said I am the Lord that heals you, is Jesus the same, yesterday, today and forever.

Lets have the elders come to distribute the communion and we will prayer for you today.
