Fellowship Hall

A policeman stopped a juggler who juggled flaming torches.  He was on his way to the next performance.  The policeman asked him to prove it.  The juggler got out of his car and lit his torches, and began to juggle the flaming torches.  A couple was driving by slowly.  Jack said to his wife, Ida: " look at the new tests that they are giving.  I'm sure glad that I quit drinking.  "  I feel led to discuss healing.  Many people believe that God should heal instantly, just because they pray for it.  I believe that is so when you are in right standing with the Lord.  God intended man to be in right standing with Him.  If there is unforgiveness, anger, hatred, malice, jealousy or bitterness in your heart, you must repent and forgive.  Mark 11:22-26- Have faith in God, ask in faith, not doubting, pray in faith, believing, and receive.  When you ask for forgiveness, and unforgiveness is in your heart; make it right with man, else your Heavenly Father won't forgive you.  .  When you are taking Communion and do not examine your heart and there is unrighteousness, you are taking it unworthily and are not discerning the Lords body and are causing the effects of this sin, weak-ness, sickness, if not dealt with, death.  You may ask, "what has this got to do with healing?" These are conditions that need to be dealt with before God will do a complete work.  God is holy and intends His saints to be holy.  1 Peter 1:16.  To many are telling only half truths.  God is sovereign.  He is a loving God, He gave us Jesus, to redeem us.  We either serve God or the devil.  It says that we either serve God or mammon.  We can't serve both.  We have a choice.  We are free to do as we please.  But remember, we will receive the reward for our choices.  Romans 6:23- Heaven for those who serve God and hell for those who don't.  Who do you serve? Psalms 103:2- forget not all His benefits.  Healing is a benefit.  It rains on the just and unjust.  We have Jesus to help, heal and provide, and be with us.  Give us peace.
