ah 61:11
Great Commission
The Great Commission has been given to
us just as much as it was given to the
apostles.
Apostles cannot do the work by themselves.
Jesus gave them to the Church in order to
equip us for the work of the ministry.
"It was He who gave some to be apostles,
some to be prohets, and some to be
evangelists, pastors and teachers, to
prepare God's people for works of service,
so that the body of Christ may be built up,
until we all reach unity in the faith and in
the knowledge of the Son of God and
become mature, attaining to the whole
measure of the fullness of Christ."
Ephesians 4:11-13
This is called the "five-fold ministry."
It has been summed up how it functions
within the body of Christ:
The Apostles govern.
The Prophets guide.
The Evangelists gather.
The Pastors guard.
The Teachers ground.
The purpose of the five-fold ministry is
to equip and prepare the saints of God
for the work of the ministry.
The result is that the body of Christ is
built up, until we all come into the unity
of the faith.

The Lord Our Shepherd
The Lord Our Shepherd has prepared
a table for us, even in the presence of
our enemies.
It is the place where all our needs are
met.
It is the place where our cups run over.
It is the place from which the goodness
and mercy of God follows us all the days
of our lives.
It is the place where we can dwell in the
house of the Lord forever.
It is the place of our blessings.
We can take our place at this table.
For as often as we eat the bread and
drink from the cup, we proclaim His
death until He comes back.
It is for us that He came.
It is for us that He died.
It is for us that He is coming again.
This is our victory in Jesus Christ
over sin, sickness, poverty and every
thing that stands against us.

The Paralytic Man
In Luke 5, when a paralytic man was let
down through the roof so that Jesus might
heal him, Jesus said, "Your sins are forgiven you".
Then to show that He had the authority
to forgive sins, He said, "Arise, take up
your bed and go to your house".
Jesus had the authority to heal the man
because He had the authority to forgive
his sins.
Both actions were based on the Cross,
where Jesus gave His body and shed His
blood.

Communion Equals Forgiveness and Healing
When we take Communion, we receive an
outward sign of an inward reality.
The cup is a sign showing forgiveness of
sins and the righteousness of Christ that
belongs to us by His blood.
Same with the bread is a sign showing
that healing belongs to us by His body.
Forgiveness and healing go together,
just as the body and the blood go
together.
"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget
not all His benefits:
Who forgives all your iniquities,
Who heals all your diseases"
Psalm 103:2,3
Without the forgiveness of sins, there
could be no healing of diseases.

For Our Sins and Sicknesses
Jesus bore our sicknesses and pains in His
own body in the same way He bore our
sins.
"He was numbered with the transgressors
and bore the sin of many"
Isaiah 53:12
The Hebrew word for "bore" in each case
means to lift a burden and carry it far
away.
When Jesus bore our sins, He lifted them
off of us and carried them far away so we
could be forgiven.
Same when He bore our sicknesses, He
lifted them off of us and carried them far
away so we could be healed.
We receive this healing in the same way
we receive forgiveness---by faith.

The New Covenant in His Blood
"This cup is the new covenant in My
blood, which is shed for you."
Luke 22:20
Matthew's account picks up even more:
"For this is may blood of the new
covenant, which is shed for many for
the remission of sins"
Matthew 26:28
The blood of Jesus was shed for our sins.
It is the sign of a new covenant that has
been instituted, a better covenant than
the old covenant under Moses.
"But now He [Jesus] has obtained a
more excellent ministry, inasmuch as
He is also Mediator of a better covenant,
which was established on better promises"
Hebrews 8:6
The reason for covenant is exchange:
Jesus took our sins that we might have His
righteousness.
"For He [God] made Him [Jesus] who
knew no sin to be sin for us, that we
might become the righteousness of God
in Him"
2 Corinthians 5:21
Jesus took our curse that we might have
His blessing.
"Christ has redeemed us from the curse
of the law, having become a curse for us
(for it is written, 'Cursed is everyone who
hangs on a tree'), that the blessing of
Abraham might come upon the Gentiles
in Christ Jesus"
Galatians 3:13,14
Jesus took our sicknesses so that we
might have His wholeness.
"Surely He has bore our griefs [literally
sicknesses] and carried our sorrows
[literally pains]. . . He was wounded for
our transgressions, He was bruised for
our iniquities.
The chastisement for our peace was
upon Him and by His stripes we are
healed"

The Lord's Body
Luke 22:19 says, "This is my body which
is given for you."
The "breaking" of bread is actually the giving
of bread.
The body of Jesus was given on the cross,
but it was not broken.
"Many are the afflictions of the rightous,
but He delivers them out of them all.
He guards all his bones; not one of them
is broken."
Psalm 34:19-20
John's account of the crucifixion, "But when
they came to Jesus and saw that He was
already dead, they did not break His legs.
For these things were done that the
Scripture should be fulfilled, 'Not one of
His bones shall be broken'"
John 19:33-36
is given for you."

John 19:33-36
The Lord's Supper
In the Lord's Supper, God has given us a
wonderful way to lay hold of the healing
benefits of the body and blood of Jesus.
At the Lord's Supper, we can experience
His healing presence in a very profound
way.
The Lord's Supper is an ordinance, that
was commanded and commissioned by
Jesus for the Church.
It is a sacrament, an outward sign of an
inward reality, signifying His presence.
It is a means of grace by which God
strengthens and blesses His people.
It is called Communion, a prayer of
fellowship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Paul said, "For I received from the Lord
that which I also delivered to you: that
the Lord Jesus on the same night in
which He was betrayed took bread; and
when He had given thanks, He broke it
and said, 'Take, eat; this is My body
which is broken for you; do this in
remembrance of Me.'
In the same manner He also took the
cup after supper, saying, 'This cup is
the new covenant in My blood. This do,
as often as you drink it, in remembrance
of Me.'
For as often as you eat this bread and
drink this cup, you proclaim the Lord's
death till He comes.
1 Corinthians 11:23-26

Yours is the Kingdom, the Power and the Glory Forever
The kingdom of God is the rule and reign
of God and it is good because He is good.
Sickness has no place in God's kingdom
because sickness is lack and God's rule
and reign brings wholeness.
Therefore, wherever His kingdom is,
there will be healing.
The power of God is here to fulfill His
kingdom purposes.
Paul said that the Gospel is the power
of God for salvation.
It is the power to save, heal, deliver,
make whole and preserve.
The glory of God is His greatness and
goodness being shown in the world.
God is not glorified by poverty and
lack, He is glorified by meeting the
needs.
He is not glorified by sickness, but by
healing the sick and bring ing them to
wholeness.

Deliver Us from Evil
Another way to read this is, "Do not let
us fail the test. Deliver us from the evil
one and the plans he has for our lives."
The evil one is the devil.
But the Bible says, "For this purpose
the Son of God was manifested, that
He might destroy the works of the
devil."
1 John 3:8
Jesus came for the express purpose of
delivering us from the evil one and his
works.
Evil is the lack of good.
Prosperity, is a good thing, but poverty
is an evil thing because it is a lack of
resources.
Health is a good thing.
Sickness is an evil thing because it is a
lack of health and wholeness.
The devil is the evil one because he
comes to take away that which is good.
Jesus said, The thief does not come
except to steal and to kill and to
destroy. I have come that they may
have life, and have it more abundantly"
John 10:10
The devil comes to steal our health,
take our lives and destroy our well-being.
But Jesus has come to destroy the works
of the devil and give us life that goes
beyond all boundaries.

Forgive Us Our Debts, as we forgive Our Debtors
Forgiveness is always an important issue
for us.
No matter where we are in our spiritual
life, no matter what the issue is, we must
always forgive.
The Lord has given us a great promise
regarding prayer, but as great as that
promise is, it can be blocked if we don't
forgive others.
"Therefore I say to you, whatever things
you ask when you pray, believe that you
receive them, and you will have them.
And whenever you stand praying, if you
have anything against anyone, forgive
him, that your Father in heaven may
also forgive you your trespasses."
Matthew 11:24,25
Anything that can block our prayers from
being answered can also block our healing.
But when we forgive, we release the power
of God to flow into our lives.
Even deep-seated illnesses disappear when
deeply buried offenses are forgiven.

Give Us this Day our Daily Bread
God is committed to meeting our needs
every day.
This petition certainly brings that out,
but there is also a greater dynamic at
work.
The Greek word for "daily" which is
believed to mean "for the morrow."
This is supported by those who believe
it actually means "the next day."
Acts 7:26 and Acts 16:11
In other words "daily bread" is the
bread of tomorrow.
This prayer concerns the kingdom of
God, which is breaking into the world.
As God's children, we have access to
its blessings and benefits, so in this
request we ask God to give us the bread
of tomorrow, each and every day.
It is the provision of heaven, and we ask
for it so that God's will may be done on
earth as it is in heaven.
It is the substance and power of heaven.

Your Will be done on Earth as it is in Heaven
The kingdom of God is God's rule and
reign, His will being done on earth as
it is in heaven.
"Your will be done" refers to a continuous
action. It's continually being done.
We look for God's will to be done more
and more on the earth.
Jesus gives us authority to bring heaven
on earth.
We find this same authority presented
differently in another place:
"Assuredly, I say to you, whatever you
bind on earth will be bound in heaven,
and whatever you loose on earth will be
loosed in heaven.
Again I say to you that if two of you agree
on earth concerning anything that they ask,
it will be done for them by My Father in
heaven."
Matthew 18:18,19
The Greek for "will be bound" actually
means "will have already been bound."
Likewise for "will be loosed."
In other words, by our binding and
loosing, we are doing what has already
been done in heaven.
We are causing the will of God to be done
on the earth as it is in heaven.
The power of agreement also brings the
things of heaven to earth.
When we agree on earth concerning any
thing we ask, it will be done for us by our
Father in heaven.
We are citizens of heaven and are seated
in heavenly places with Christ Jesus.
We don't bring heaven down to earth, we
bring it forth in the earth.
The kingdom of God doesn't come to us
as much as it come through us.

as much as it come through us.
Your Kingdom Come
The Greek word for "come" refers to
a continuing action.
The kingdom of God has already begun,
but we look for it continuously until it is
here in all its fullness.
The blessing [salvation, healing, prosperity,
safety, protection] is a sign of God's
kingdom.
That is why the Bible says that, when the
multitudes came to Jesus, He received
them and spoke to them about the kingdom
of God, and then healed those who needed
healing.
Later, when Jesus sent the Seventy out to
minister, He instructed them 'Whatever
city you enter, and they receive you. . .
heal the sick there, and say to them, 'The
kingdom of God has come near to you'".
Luke 10:8,9

Hallowed Be Your Name
The word "hallow" is the verb form of
"holy".
To hallow something means to sanctify
it, to set it apart as holy.
God and His name are already holy,
so the prayer is that His name would be
seen and recognized for the uniquely holy
thing that it is.
Let God be glorified in heaven and on
earth.
Let His name be fully appreciated.
Let His greatness and goodness be
received and honored everywhere.
God has revealed Himself by many
names which have a healing benefit:
The Lord My Healer - Rapha
The Lord My Provider - Jireh
The Lord My Banner - Nissi
The Lord My Peace - Shalom
The Lord My Shepherd - Raala
The Lord My Righteousness - Tsidkenu
These and many other names show
the holiness of God.
No one else is like the Lord; no one
else can do the things He can do.
As we pray this prayer, let these
names become holy in our hearts.
Honor these names and receive them
into our beings.
Give glory to Him by these names,
affirming all their significance.

Our Father in Heaven
God is our faithful Father.
He gives only good things to His children.
"Every good gift and every perfect gift
is from above and comes down from
the Father of lights, with whom there
is no variation or shadow of turning."
James 1:17
"Or what man is there among you who,
if his son asks for bread, will give him a
stone?
Or if he asks for a fish, will he give him
a serpent?
If you then, being evil, know how to give
good gifts to your children, how much
more will your Father who is in heaven
give good things to those who ask Him!
Matthew 7:9-11
Our Father in heaven will give good things
to His children, but notice that He gives
them to those who ask.
That is how we appropriate the things of
God, by asking.
When you ask, ask in faith, expecting to
receive only good things from God.
He will not give you something that looks
good, but is really evil or bad.
Healing is a good thing; sickness is a bad
thing.
When you ask for healing, expect healing.
Do not expect sickness to remain.
He gives only good things to His children.

The Lord's Prayer
The Lord's Prayer is a model Jesus
gave to His disciples to teach them
how to pray.
It is not a list of what to pray, but a
manner of how to pray.
It is a framework of how to come and
present ourselves before the Lord
and lay hold of His promises.
It can be used in any circumstance
and to meet many needs.
We can use it in the context of healing.
Pray it slowly.
Take time to expand on it as the Holy
Spirit leads. He will give the words to
pray back to the Father.
Quietly comtemplate the meaning of
each verse.
Always give thanks and praise at the
end and welcome His healing power
at work in your life.

He is the Christ
"And it shall come to pass in that
day, that his burden shall be taken
away from off thy shoulder and
his yoke from off thy neck and the
yoke shall be destroyed because of
the anointing."
Isaiah 10:27
The name Christ is the Greek
equivalent of the Hebrew Messiah
and means "Anointed One."
In the Old Testament, there was
a special anointing which signaled
someone especially anointed by
God, who would one day arrive on
the scene and deliver His people.
Jesus is that Anointed One.
He is our King, exalted to the
throne and ruling and reigning at
the right hand of the Father.
He is our High Priest, who ever
lives to make intercession for us
before the Father.
The anointing is a very powerful
thing, it lifts the burden off of us
and completely destroys the yoke.
The anointing of Jesus is healing
for us; it removes the burden of
sickness and destroyes the yoke
of disease in our lives.
"God anointed Jesus of Nazareth
with the Holy Spirit and with
power, who went about doing
good and healing all who were
oppressed by the devil, for God
was with Him."
Acts 10:38

Acts 10:38
His Name is Jesus O.T.
"The son Mary brought forth at
Bethlehem was called Jesus,
'for He will save His people from
their sins.'
The Greek word for "save" is
sozo and like the Old Testament
word for salvation, it means to
save, to heal, to deliver, to make
whole.
Jesus saves us from our sins,
from the bondage of our sins,
from the penalty of our sins.
"Surely He has borne our griefs
[literally sicknesses] and carried
our sorrows [literally pains]; yet
we esteemed Him stricken,
smitten of God and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our
transgresseions, He was bruised
for our iniquities; the chastisement
for our peace was upon Him, and
by His stripes we are healed."

you shall call His name Jesus, for He
will save His people from their sins."
Matthew 1:21
The name of Jesus is the Greek form
of the Hebrew word yeshua, which
means "salvation."
In the Old Testament, yeshua is used
to refer to deliverance, aid, victory,
prosperity, help, welfare, healing and
health.
How it is used in any specific instance
depends on what the need is.
Where there is sin, salvation is
forgiveness.
Where there is an enemy, salvation
is deliverance.
Where there is lack or want, salvation
is prosperity.
Were there is sickness, salvation is
healing.
Salvation is wonderful!

Paul Raises Eutycus
"Now of the first day of the week,
when the disciples came together
to break bread, Paul, ready to
depart the next day, spoke to them
and continued his message until
midnight.
There were many lamps in the
upper room where they were
gathered together.
And in a window sat a certain
young man named Eutycus, who
was sinking into a deep sleep; and
as Paul continued speaking, he fell
down from the third story and was
taken up dead.
But Paul went down, fell on him and
embracing him said, 'Do not trouble
yourselves, for his life is in him.'
Now when he had come up, had
broken bread and eaten, and talked
a long while, even till daybreak, he
departed.
And they brought the young man
in alive and they were not a little
comforted."
Acts 20:7-12
When the young man fell out of the
window and Paul was told that he
had been killed by the fall; Paul
fell on the boy and embraced him,
must like the way Elijah and Elisha
did to raise the sons of the widows
in the Old Testament.

Peter Raises Dorcas
"At Joppa there was a certain
disciple name Tabitha, which
is translated Dorcas.
This woman was full of good
works and charitable deeds
which she did.
But it happened in those days
that she became sick and died.
When they had washed her, they
laid her in an upper room.
And since Lydda was near Joppa
and the disciples had heard that
Peter was there, they sent two
men to him, imploring him not to
delay in coming to them.
Then Peter arose and went with
them.
When he had come, they brought
him to the upper room.
And all the widows stood by him
weeping, showing the tunics and
garments which Dorcas had made
while she was with them.
But Peter put them all out and
knelt down and prayed.
And turning to the body he siad,
'Tabitha, arise.'
And she opened her eyes and when
she saw Peter she sat up.
Then he gave her his hand and
lifted her up; and when he had
called the saints and widows, he
presented her alive.
And it became known throughout
all Joppa and many believed on the
Lord."

Peter asking him to come.

Jesus Raises Lazarus
"Now a certain man was sick, Lazarus
of Bethany, the town of Mary and her
sister Martha.
It was that Mary who anointed the
Lord with fragrant oil and wiped His
feet with her hair, whose brother
Lazarus was sick.
Therefore the sisters sent to Him,
saying, 'Lord, behold, he whom You
love is sick.'
When Jesus heard that, He said, 'This
sickness is not unto death, but for the
glory of God, that the Son of God may
be glorified through it.'
Now Jesus loved Martha and her
sister and Lazarus.
So, when He heard that he was sick,
He stayed two moe days in the place
where He was.
After that He said to them [His disciples],
'Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I
may wake him up.'
Then His disciples said, 'Lord, if he sleeps
he will get well.'
However, Jesus spoke of his death, but
they thought that He was speakng about
taking rest in sleep.
Then Jesus said to them plainly, 'Lazarus
is dead.
And I am glad for your sakes that I was
not there, that you may believe.
Nevertheless let us go to him.'
So when Jesus came, He found that he
had already been in the tomb four days.
Then Martha, as soon as she heard that
Jesus was coming, went and met Him,
but Mary was sitting in the house.
Then Martha said to Jesus, 'Lord, if You
had been here, my brother would not
have died.
But even now I know that whatever
You ask of God, God will give You.'
Jesus said to her, 'Your brother will
rise again.'
Martha said to Him, 'I know that he
will rise again in the resurrection at
the last day.'
Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection
and the life. He who believes in Me,
though he may die, he shall live.
And whoever lives and believes in Me
shall never die. Do you believe this?'
She said to Him, 'Yes, Lord, I believe
that You are the Christ, the Son of God,
who is to come into the world.'
When Mary came where Jesus was and
saw Him, she fell down at His feet,
saying to Him, 'Lord, if You had been
here, my brother would not have died.'
Therefore, when Jesus saw her weeping
and the Jews who came with her weeping,
He groaned in the spirit and was troubled.
And He said, 'Where have you laid him?'
They said to Him, 'Lord, come and see.'
Jesus wept.
Then the Jews said, 'See how He loved
him!!'
And some of them said, 'Could not this
Man, who opened the eyes of the blind,
also have kept this man from dying?'
Then Jesus again groaning in Himself,
came to the tomb. It was a cave and a
stone lay against it.
Jesus said, 'Take away the stone.'
Martha, the sister of him who was dead,
said to Him 'Lord, by this time there is
a stench, for he has been dead four days.'
Jesus said to her, 'Did I not say to you
that if you would believe you would
see the glory of God?'
Then they took away the stone from
the place where the dead man was lying.
And Jesus lifted up His eyes and said,
'Father, I thank You that You have
heard Me.
And I know that You always hear Me,
but because of the people who are
standing by I said this, that they may
believe that You sent Me.'
Now when He had said these things, He
cried with a loud voice, 'Lazarus, come
forth!'
And he who had died came out bound
hand and foot with grave clothes and
his face was wrapped with a cloth.
Jesus said to them, 'Loose him and let
him go.'"
................John 11:1-45
Jesus had said that this sickness was
not unto death.
Knowing Lazarua was dead, Jesus
said he was sleeping and He would go
and wake him up.
Then Jesus said Lazarus was dead, but
we will go to him.
Jesus told Martha that her brother
would rise again.
He drew out Martha's faith asking her
if she believed.
Martha released her faith saying that
she believed.
Jesus ordered to stone away from the

Jairus and he was a ruler of the
synagogue.
And he fell down at Jesus' feet and
begged Him to come to his house,
for he had an only daughter about
twelve years of age and she was
dying.
Someone came from the ruler of
the synagogue's house, saying, 'Your
daughter is dead. Do not trouble the
Teacher.'
But when Jesus heard it, He answered
him, saying, 'Do no be afraid; only
believe and she will be made well.'
When He came into the house, He
permitted no one to go in except
Peter, James, and John and the
father and mother of the girl.
Now all wept and mourned for her;
but He said, 'Do not weep, she is not
dead, but sleeping.'
And they ridiculed HIm, knowing
that she was dead.
But He put them all outside, took her
by the hand and called, saying, 'Little
girl, arise.'
Then her spirit returned and she
arose immediately.
