Jesus The Healer - Lessons Learned




We know we have this treasure in jars of clay, and we will NEVER lose our HOPE in all the promises God has for his children!

(from Elaine)


NOT GUARANTEES BUT KEYS TO HEALING 
(And sometimes healing means other things besides physical healing)

1. Forgiveness of others
2. Confidence in Jesus. (Lack of doubt)
3. Confessed sin
4. Cleansing of unresolved guilt
5. Choose God to avoid bad consequences
6. Be in God's will
7. Ignore what the earthly circumstances look like
8. Have compassion
9. Have faith
10. Ask; be tenacious in asking.
11. Obey
12. Do not speak fear (2 Timothy 1:7)
13. Rest in the hope that Jesus is walking with you

(from Barby)


From Robin's Breakout Group:

Question A2 asked us the difference between Healing & Saving.

Healing can be psychological or physical. It can be major or minor, not necessarily life-threatening. Biblical healing symbolizes a new beginning with spiritual forgiveness along with physical healing. A dynamic duo.

Saving is an act of prevention of death. A spiritual or earthly death.
Biblically it soul salvation.

Jeremiah 17:14 says "Heal me O Lord, and I shall be healed; save me and I shall be saved; for you are the One I praise.

Healing verses include:
Mark 6:56                         Mt 8: 14-15    
Mt 8:13                           Isaiah 53:4-6
2 Kings 20:5                     Malachi 4:2
Mt 9: 20-22                     Mt 9:6-7
Acts 3: 6                         * Luke 6:19
In the Bible when you lookup save the dictionary directs you to salvation - not physical healing.

Healing begins:
With a spirit of righteousness
Healing only comes in Jesus name

Healing requires grace & faith. Eph 2:8
   "             "        a heart that believes  
   "             "        a profession of faith. Romans 10: 9-10
   "             "        standing firm to the end. Mt.
   "             "        baptism & belief   Mark 16:16
   "             "        Calling on the name of the Lord
   "             "        Repentance  2 Peter 3:9
   "             "        believers to do the "will of my Father"  Mt 7: 21-23

2Peter 3:9 
 "The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead, he is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance."

Luke 13:3
"I tell you no! But unless you repent, you too will perish."

Paul reminds us that though we may be at the end of our rope; we are never at the end of our hope.
