HEALING SCRIPTURES IN THE BIBLE

Hebrews 13: 8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.

Matthew 10: 5 These twelve Jesus sent forth, and commanded them, saying, Go not into the way of the Gentiles, and into any city of the Samaritans enter ye not: 6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel. 7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.

Matthew 15: 30 And great multitudes came unto him, having with them those that were lame, blind, dumb, maimed, and many others, and cast them down at Jesus' feet; and he healed them:

Man's Responsibility To His Wife And Children

Bishop Jim McIver

A word of direction and encouragement for men. Never stop trying!  Never give up!  Never quit!!  Christ loves us and wants the best for us!  Be the best you can be!  

1 Corinthians 11:3 But I would have you know, that the head of every man is Christ; and the head of the woman is the man; and the head of Christ is God.

 

1.A Priest 

Every man must offer spiritual nourishment to his wife and family. He should attend church services, lead the reading of scripture, praying with & pray for his family. At all times the man’s family should know that they can depend on him.  The man stands before God as a priest on behalf of his family. It is tragic when the man of the house has no reverence for God. Many children are running wild for a lack of dad’s love & guidance. 

 

2.A Prophet

When a man understands the depth of being a prophet to his family, he cares about the words he says to his wife and children. A man should learn to prophesy/speak positive things to the present and future of his wife and family. He must see the potential in them and speaks God’s wisdom/blessing and favor into their lives. If a husband/father discover a weakness in his family, he must strengthen it.  If a man has to correct, he should always do it in love and never be harsh and condemning. 

 

3.Be Present and involved

A responsible husband/dad is present and involved in the lives of his wife and children. Many men are in the house, but are not present, not attentive, not involved. That is tragic! Regardless of his job, a responsible man will always create time to be with his family. He will also seek ways to be involved in their lives.  A responsible man will know the affairs of his wife and children and who is influencing their lives.  Husbands!  Your wives need you!  Men/dads, be the example!  Be the example of the kind of man you would want your daughter to marry!  Be the example of the the kind of man, dad and husband that your son should be.   

 

4.A Provider

A man’s divine role is to be a provider for his family. There is no exception to that rule! A responsible man will work smart and hard to ensure that the needs of his family are met. Many women work and have great incomes, but there should be an understanding that they are a team and not competitors.  A husband and wife may combine their income for the needs of the family, but the man must never quit his job and take advantage of his wife.  Men, work, work, work!  Be the provider in your home!

 

5.A Protector

There is a responsibility, desire and capability put in men by God to protect his wife and family. A responsible man protects his family from the dangers of this world. When life gets tough a responsible man doesn’t run away but instead girds himself and leads his wife and family through the dangers and tough times. A responsible man shields his wife and kids from the dangers of fake friends or enemies. This teaching is a reality check on what it takes for a man to add value to the woman and the children in his life. No more excuses, we guys must “man up” and take ownership of our responsibilities. Let’s do it! 

 

6.A Lover

Loving our wife and family is a requirement, but us loving them is really a privilege! Love is a sign of surrender, maturity, respect, mercy and selflessness.  When we guys can love our families without reasons, it is because we have been influenced by the greatest lover of all, Jesus Christ!  As the head, agape love should flow through us first!  Husbands/dads, love your wives and your children!  Be Kind!

Helmet Of Salvation

Salvation:redemption, preservation, deliverance from harm, ruin.

Ephesians 6:17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;

 

The helmet of salvation not only protects your head from external blows, it protects what is in the head!  There are internal blows the enemy launches at us.  He wants to deceive the mind! 

 

 John 8:32 And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

 

The proper way of being equipped with the amor of God is by knowing the truth of what is available to us through Jesus Christ.  We must get a clear understanding of what a particular truth provides to us.  We must passionately embrace what a particular truth has provided to us!  We must know the truth by spending time in prayer and in the word of God with logo truth (written) that will transition to rhema truth (life) after we have spent time with it.  We must spend enough time with truth to be illuminated by it.  

 

Romans 10:8 But what does it say? “The word is near you, in your mouth and in your heart” (that is, the word of faith which we preach): ⁹ that if you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. ¹⁰ For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

 

Biblical truth must get rooted in the heart, not just in the mind.  The carnal mind, the carnal thoughts, the carnal imagination will try to dictate what we believe.  The mind will try to manipulate truth and rob it of its power to set us free from the bondage of the enemy.  

 

Romans 12:1-2 I beseech^[a] you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that you present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, which is your ^[b]reasonable service. ² And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.

 

The mind must consistently be renewed by the word of God, sometimes moment by moment.  God’s word is truth, it has power and life to renew!  

Meditate on the word of God.  Spend time with it and in it!  We are transformed by the renewing of our mind.  God’s word renews the mind! 

 

We must take to us the helmet of salvation to protect our thoughts from the fiery darts and flaming arrows of the enemy!  As a man thinketh, in his heart so is he.  If our mind is not renewed by the word and Spirit of God there will be no transformation. 

 

2 Corinthians 10:3 For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war according to the flesh. ⁴ For the weapons of our warfare are not ^[a]carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, ⁵ casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,

 

We have powerful resources in our head, mouth, nose, ears, eyes, thoughts, imaginations and such.  The enemy will try his best to get us to see with our eyes only and not with our imagination.  Certainly, I can see with my eyes but the greater seeing is with the imagination.  The Holy Spirit will infuse our imagination with the Divine if we allow Him to do so.

 

There are things we should see with our imagination before our eyes ever behold them!  That is called vision!  The use, or misuse of our imagination is determined by whom we are submitted to.  If we will submit ourselves to God in the word and in prayer and resist the devil, he will flee from us.  

 

We must cast down the enemy’s vain imaginations and bring into captivity every thought unto the obedience of Christ.  Our mind can be an asset or a liability. Each individual determines that outcome.  To whom are we submitting?  To whomever we submit is our lord.

 

Philippians 2:5 Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus,

 

The mind of Christ being in us is determined by our letting! 

 

Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. 

 

Philippians 4:8 kind of thinking is what establishes an internal, eternal helmet of salvation. The mind cannot be deceived when we think on those things!  Salvation!

The Shield Of Faith!

The just (Christians) lives by faith (Romans 1:17). Faith is our lifestyle!

Ephesians 6:16 above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one.

 

#1. The devil launches fiery darts at the believer (flaming arrows).  Back during the time Paul wrote this passage, soldiers would set arrows on fire and launch them at their enemy as a battle tactic.   

 

Those darts represent ‘doubt, unbelief, fear, poverty or discontentment.

 

#2. Above all - Foremost - Faith is our protection – faith is our shield!   

 

Taking the shield of faith.  We take it! We put it on!  We wear it.

 

Shield: a piece of metal or another suitable material, held by straps or a handle attached on one side, used as a protection against blows or missiles.

 

The shield protects us from the flaming arrows of the devil. Wear the shield!

 

#3. Faith is the Divine, supernatural, tangible, substance and evidence of God in our heart. (Hebrews 11:1). 

Examine ourselves to see if we are in the faith (2 Cor. 13:5)

 

Paul tells us to take up the shield of faith to extinguish all the flaming darts/arrows of the evil one. The shield is created by the word of God!

 

#4. 1 John 5:4 For whatsoever is born of God overcometh the world: and this is the victory that overcometh the world, even our faith.

 

Faith does not just give us victory, faith is our victory!

 

When the flaming arrow hit the faith shield it is quenched (extinguished).  

 

The faith of Christ is a shield in us, it destroys the fiery darts of the devil!  

 

Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave Himself for me. 

 

Believe this truth in your heart!  Confess this truth with your mouth! 

Believe that you live by the faith of Jesus Christ and confess that regardless of the season you are in! 

 

Not only is your faith your shield, your faith can change your season!

 

The fiery darts and flaming arrows of the enemy will come, but the shield of faith will quench or extinguish them!  

 

Stand firm and strong with your shield of faith and protect yourself, your marriage and your children, your finances, your job, your business and all of your affairs!  

 

You have supernatural armor to deal with the enemy’s assaults. YOU WIN!

Breastplate (Heart) Of Righteousness

Ephesians 6:14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;”

Facts About The Breastplate (Heart) of Righteousness.

Righteousness is doing from the heart what is right in God's sight.  
Righteousness is God's holiness established in our hearts. 

Our character and actions should reflect Christ righteousness. 

Righteousness does not change daily.

With the heart we believe.  With the mouth we confess.

Believers love unconditionally from the heart.  

Psalms 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me.

Seek God’s righteousness.  Find it in Christ and put it on!

Putting on the breastplate of righteousness is about more than just protecting the heart.  It is about desiring, putting on and protecting the type of heart God has made available to us through Jesus Christ.  The Psalmist yearned for a clean and righteous heart.  A righteous heart is available to us through Christ, but by faith we must receive it and put it on.  The breastplate of righteousness is about protecting the righteousness the heart has become.  Christ has given it, but it is our responsibility to yield to Christ, put it on and wear it!  

Also, when we seek the kingdom of God and His righteousness, it sets miracles in motions (Matthew 6:33).  

2 Corinthians 5:21 – “God made Him who had no sin to be sin for us, so that in Him we might become the righteousness of God” 

Imputed (given) righteousness.

The breastplate of righteousness refers to imputed (given) righteousness;

This means that Jesus Christ gives us His righteousness. He transfers His sinless account to us and our sinful account to Himself.  This is also called justification. – When this transfer takes place, it is as though we never sinned.  The sin slate is cleansed!  This takes place the moment we repent and confess Jesus Christ as our Savior and Lord!.

His righteousness delivers us from sin, fear, doubt, bitterness and unbelief.  It delivers our heart from spiritual death because His righteousness gives us eternal life!  His breastplate of righteousness is what our heart has become!  

ROMANS 14:17 for the Kingdom of God is not meat and drink, but righteousness and peace and joy in the Holy Ghost.

Just don’t give it up!   

We will know when the righteousness of God has infused our heart!  His righteousness imparts to us Kingdom authority, perfect peace and Holy Ghost joy! The world cannot give us righteousness, only Jesus Christ!  What God gives the world cannot take away!  Just don’t give it up!  

The physical things of this world cannot be compared to what the righteousness of Jesus Christ provides to the believer!  Again, when the righteousness of God fills our heart, His Kingdom authority, His peace and His joy will flood our heart!  We are not the same as before!  We are new creatures in Jesus Christ!

Romans 10:10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.

Guard your heart.

Christ righteousness is a heart issue.  We believe from the heart!  We confess with our mouth what we believe in our heart!  Whatever is in your heart will come out of your mouth!  

Please, don’t contaminate your heart with sin, doubt, fear, unbelief, gossip, bitterness, disobedience or jealousy. Those things will hinder your walk with God, your love walk and your faith walk.  

 

The person you desire to be and the things you desire to accomplish are too important to contaminate your heart with such meaningless things.  

 

Spend time in the word of God, spend time in prayer and worship, stand in Christ, stand in righteousness, stand in faith, confess a good confession!  

 

Put the breastplate (righteousness) on and keep it on! 

Go forth and conquer!

Peace!

Be Sure! Stand! Be Ready!

We are living in the last days as never before.  It’s in the word, it’s in the spirit and it’s in the atmosphere.  You can sense something about to happen.  There are some things we need to be sure of.  I love you enough to remind you of what is important in these days.  

#1. 2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the foundation of God standeth sure, having this seal, The Lord knoweth them that are his. And, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

Be sure that you know Jesus Christ, that He is your focus & your life. Put your confidence in Him and His kingdom because His Kingdom stands sure.  When all else fail, and it will, His kingdom stands!

#2. 1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 

1 John 4:20 If a man say, I love God, and hateth his brother, he is a liar: for he that loveth not his brother whom he hath seen, how can he love God whom he hath not seen?

How is your love life? There are things that love will not say or do. Pay close attention to your conduct. Love does not do hateful things!  

#3. Hebrews 12:14Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord: 

Be sure your lifestyle is one of holiness.  Without holiness you will not see God.  We may live in the world, but we do not live like the world!  If we look like the world, talk like the world, act like the world and follow the world, we are the world!  Be separated! 

#4. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth.

Luke 18:1And he spake a parable unto them to this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint; 

Spend time in the word of God and prayer.  Feed your spirit by communing with the Lord! Know the Way by studying the Way!

#5. 1 Corinthians 11:1 Be ye followers of me, even as I also am of Christ.

Be sure you have solid, Godly, mature leadership.  In this end time the first ones to be deceived will be those who are not attached nor accountable to anyone.  Don’t be a fault finder!  Get connected!  Paul told others to follow him as he followed Christ!  

#6. Genesis 8:22While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.

Proverbs 3:9 Honour the Lord with thy substance, and with the firstfruits of all thine increase:¹⁰ so shall thy barns be filled with plenty,
and thy presses shall burst out with new wine.

Be a giver.  Sow your tithe into the Kingdom of God through your local church.  God will cause all grace to abound towards you as you sow your tithes and offering. There is seed time and there is harvest!  Sow!  

#7.  Matthew 25:1Then shall the kingdom of heaven be likened unto ten virgins, which took their lamps, and went forth to meet the bridegroom. ² And five of them were wise, and five were foolish. ³ They that were foolish took their lamps, and took no oil with them: ⁴ but the wise took oil in their vessels with their lamps. ⁵ While the bridegroom tarried, they all slumbered and slept. ⁶ And at midnight there was a cry made, Behold, the bridegroom cometh; go ye out to meet him. ⁷ Then all those virgins arose, and trimmed their lamps. ⁸ And the foolish said unto the wise, Give us of your oil; for our lamps are gone out. ⁹ But the wise answered, saying, Not so;lest there be not enough for us and you: but go ye rather to them that sell, and buy for yourselves. ¹⁰ And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage: and the door was shut. ¹¹ Afterward came also the other virgins, saying, Lord, Lord, open to us. ¹² But he answered and said, Verily I say unto you, I know you not. ¹³ Watch therefore, for ye know neither the day nor the hour wherein the Son of man cometh.

Get filled and stay filled with the Holy Spirit.  Be prepared for the Lord’s coming!  When He comes, He will just call the Holy Ghost home!  Those who are filled will be caught up!  This life is about the Kingdom of God and Christ influencing society! 

6 Things Jesus Did Before He Was Crucified.

John 13:1-38 covers this message.  Please read!

The word of God was written for us to learn, not to just hear.

 For whatever things were written before were written for our learning, that we through the patience and comfort of the Scriptures might have hope.

 

It is important for us to understand what Jesus was doing and why! What Jesus did over 2000 years ago is relevant to believers right now! If you are serious about your walk with God, you will hear this.

#1. (1-3) Jesus established the Lords Supper.

Remembering Jesus sacrificial flesh and blood.  It's not about you or I!

#2. (4-14) Jesus washed His disciple feet.

Jesus washing His disciples feet was about humbling ourselves before each other.

  

#3. (15-17) Jesus led and left us an example of our humble relationship with each other. 

Regardless of our titles or gifts, we should follow His example of humility.  Sure, people will try to take advantage of your humility because they think you are naive.  Just distance yourself from them for peace sake.

#4. (18-33) Jesus predicted His betrayal.

Jesus knew Judas would betray Him, but he allowed him to remain with Him.  Don't fuss and fight with people, just love them.  If they don't change, they will eventually hang themselves!

John 13:1 - 33 prepared them for verse 34 and 35, the real deal!

#5. (34) a new commandment: love each other!  He commanded them to love each other, as He Loved them.  Do we really love each other?  Think; what does love do?  How does love act? 

Check out 1 Corinthians chapter 13!  That's God's kind of love!

Suppose I told you that I am a conservative, a Republican.  Would you still be kind to me?  Would you still speak to me?  Would you still accept me as your leader?  Would you still love me?  Ok, I am a conservative. Are you in a conflict with another believer because they vote differently?  We can have different political views and still be friends.  Remember, be a Christian first!  This world is going to pass away!

#6. (35) Their love for each other was a witness to the world that they were His disciples (trainees).  Un-believers are suppose to see our kindness, mercy and acceptance of each other regardless of our political views or Christian church affiliation.  Let's win the world!

Our gifts, our boldness, our loudness doesn't make us spiritual, they just make us visible.  Our gifts attract people, but does not save anyone!  We should be known by our love; love is the greatest! 

Cain would not have killed his brother if he loved him!

1 John 3:11 For this is the message that ye heard from the beginning, that we should love one another. 12 Not as Cain, who was of that wicked one, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were evil, and his brother’s righteous. 13 Marvel not, my brethren, if the world hate you. 14 We know that we have passed from death unto life, because we love the brethren. He that loveth not his brother abideth in death.

If we love each other, we will not crucify each other over politics or different church affiliations.

Politics are not greater than the gospel!

A politician is not greater than Jesus!

Be influenced by Jesus Christ and the gospel more than anything else!
