Sozo

Wednesday, February 10th, 2016

In the early 1980’s I became familiar with and studied the Greek word sozo.  It means: saved, healed, made whole and is found in the following (as well as many other verses): Matthew 9:21  For she said to herself, “If only I may touch His garment, I shall be made well ...

Jesus is sensitive to our needs

Tuesday, February 9th, 2016

People who are called to the higher calling of serving all of mankind need a break from time to time.  Jesus understood the challenge of constant demands by people in need.  In Mark chapter 6 we find Jesus encouraging a time of rest: 30 The apostles *gathered together with Jesus; and they ...

Fulfilling the rest of the Prophecy

Monday, February 8th, 2016

In Luke chapter 4, Jesus made a bold statement: 16 So He came to Nazareth, where He had been brought up. And as His custom was, He went into the synagogue on the Sabbath day, and stood up to read. 17 And He was handed the book of the prophet Isaiah. And when He ...

The SPIRIT of the LORD is upon me

Sunday, February 7th, 2016

Jesus quoted Isaiah 61: 1 “The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon Me, Because the LORD has anointed Me To preach good tidings to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives, And the opening of the prison to those who are bound; 2 To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, And the day of ...

Subtleness of Deception

Saturday, February 6th, 2016

Each of us must be vigilant to weigh the words spoken and written concerning the Spiritual realm.  This is precisely why I continue to urge people to hear FATHER themselves rather than relying on others to hear for them.  When you rely on others to hear, you become subject to ...

The Root of the Problem

Friday, February 5th, 2016

FATHER does not put sickness on people or HE would not have had Jesus heal all of those with sickness and disease.  Jesus dealt with the spirits of infirmities as well.  Mary Magdalene was one whom Jesus set free: Luke 8:1 Now it came to pass, afterward, that He went through every ...

We Have Been Rescued

Thursday, February 4th, 2016

Paul wrote in Colossians chapter 1: 13 For He rescued us from the domain of darkness, and transferred us to the kingdom of His beloved Son,  14 in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins. We are no longer subject to the domain of darkness yet many Believers still unknowingly live according to that realm.  IN ...

Answering Your Request

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016

Jesus said:in John 14:  13 And whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 If you askfn anything in My name, I will do it. We must understand the intent behind what Jesus said in the above passage.  Whatever we ask should glorify FATHER ...

Faith to be healed

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016

Paul embraced the Great Commission and ministered healing in the same manner as Jesus even though he never saw Jesus heal in His earthly ministry.  Paul believed the Words of Jesus, so should we.  In Acts chapter 14: 8 And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his ...

Holding Your Tongue

Wednesday, February 3rd, 2016

As is our custom and pleasure, we had coffee with our friends Kemper and Shari.  FATHER ultimately guided our discussion to an area that needed to be addressed among the brethren- knowing when to speak and when to remain silent.  FATHER awoke me early with the following passage: Psalm ...
