If You Can See It You Can Have It

September 17, 2008 in Faith, Healing by Shannon | No comments

See John 12:37-41. John said that Jesus did many signs among the people of Israel but they still did not believe. In the verses that follow he tells us why. Isaiah had given a prophecy that God would harden their hearts and blind their eyes. If you know your bible you will know that this was necessary so that the Gentiles would have a chance to enter into the kingdom of God. This is known as the Dispensation of Grace for the Gentiles (a Gentile is someone who is not a Jew). Because the Jews could not see the messiah it created a gap or a space for the Gentiles to come into the kingdom of God. If they would have seen Jesus as Messiah they would have asked God to bring them into the fullness of their destiny and God would have heard their prayers and according to John healed them. They would have pulled the gap for the Gentiles closed and the rest of the world would not have had the opportunity to hear the gospel. This is where it gets interesting. God did not blind the gentiles. He invited them to lay hold of the inheritance provided for them through His death on the cross. This still includes you and I today. The fact that we can see makes us accountable. If the Jews had seen they would have asked and received. This was such a problem God had to blind them from seeing truth. We are not blind. Through the cross the power of God has been made accessible to us if we will ask. For far to long we have made excuses as to why we have not experienced the healings and miracles that are an inherent part of the Gospel of Jesus Christ.  Jesus rebuked many of the cities of Israel and said that if the miracles performed in them would have been done in Sodom it would still be here today. Sodom would have repented had it seen the works of Christ manifested. There was intercession for the city of Sodom but the power of God was not revealed. This is a good picture of the church of America today. We have interceded yet we have not stepped forward to show forth the power of God. It is time to become Christ like in every way. Not only in character but in power. It was signs and wonders that would have saved Sodom. Is there anyone out there who will step forward and become a modern day miracle worker. This is not to far out there for us to grasp. It is our destiny. It is our call as a believer in Jesus Christ. I believe God is raising up a people today who will do the things Jesus did and even greater things. The power of God is availible. The title of this article is, “If you can see it you can have it”. Who will rise up an lay hold of what God has openly showed us so that we might preach the Gospel of Jesus Christ with signs and wonders following?

Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying: “Whom shall I send, And who will go for us?” Then I said, “Here am I! Send me.”  Isaiah 6:8

Is Healing for Today?

 Our God is a God of the miraculous. According to His word, He is able
to do anything we ask in the name of His son Jesus. It has been my
privilege to witness God perform amazing healings and miracles, many of
which have been over the past few weeks. Miracles such as people who
have had to take daily pain pills for various reasons like arthritis
and feet and back problems being healed and no longer needing
medication. We have even seen God open the ears of the deaf and have
had tumors disappear. Our God is good, and it is not a sin to think
that God would like to save you some money on costly prescriptions and
medical bills not to mention the relief of the pain and suffering that
many go through every day. Because He is good, it should not be a
foreign thought that he will heal us of various sickness and
infirmities if we ask Him. According to the Word of God, Jesus paid the
price for our healing.

I want to challenge you to believe God to heal your body and see
what happens. I pray for you right now in the name of Jesus to be
healed of every kind of sickness and disease. I command the pain to
leave your body. I speak to fibromyalgia, migraines and arthritis to
go, tumors to shrink and cancer to die. I command every infirmity to
leave your body right now. I pray for God’s peace to fill you and for
the fire of God to burn all throughout your body in Jesus name.Check
your body and see what’s happening. Do something you could not do
before, and don’t be surprised if God has healed you.
We have even seen people lose weight instantly. Who would like to see
that kind of miracle? There is no limit to what God can do. Much of the
body of Christ is not praying for the sick to be healed, so of course
the sick are staying sick, and many are even dying before their time.
God is healing people all over the world every day when individuals
like you and I step out in faith and pray for the sick to be well,
giving God all the Glory. Here is what Jesus said during the time he
walked the earth, “Most assuredly, I say to you, he who believes in Me,
the works that I do, he will do also; and greater works than these he
will do, because I go to My Father. And whatever you ask in My name,
that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask
anything in My name, I will do it.“These are incredible words that are
hard for us to believe, but it is what we are called to do.
Will you take up this challenge and believe God to see the works of
Christ accomplished in and through your life? If we as the body of
Christ will rise to such an occasion, we will see a great harvest of
souls.I pray that the spirit of God begins to stir a fiery passion in you, a
passion that drives you deeper and deeper into His incredible presence
and His healing power. May God bless you with peace and joy as you
faithfully serve our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
