Healing and Deliverance Full Sermon

 

The Full Sermon Video

Do you need Healing or Deliverance?

Only #JesusSaves and Only #JesusDelivers!

Lord, give me the wisdom to speak the truth of Jesus Christ and give those listening the ears to hear. All in Jesus mighty Name! Amen.

God WANTS to Heal You AND DELIVER YOU!

Yes, God WANTS to Heal you of sickness and infirmities.

Before we begin, let me pray this over you, "God, grant the individual reading this sermon the ears to hear and the wisdom to understand it. God, I give you all the honor and praise and thanksgiving in the name of Jesus. Amen."

"Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted." (Isaiah 53:4) (KJV)

The Berean Study Bible translates the same Scripture as, "Surely He took on our infirmities and carried our sorrows;" (Isaiah 53:4) Infirmity means "physical or mental weakness."

But, on the Cross, Jesus bore our sins, he bore our guilt, he bore our griefs, our sorrows, our infirmities...

HE

BORE

EVERYTHING!

No matter what you need from Jesus, God and the Holy Ghost you go to the Cross. Jesus fought every fight, waged every war and fought every battle and won right there on that Cross at Calvary!

Let’s pray: Lord, I ask that you given everyone listening to this eyes to see and ears to hear all in the Mighty Name of Jesus. (Tongues praying and praising) O’Lord, let the blind see, the stricken walk and deaf hear in Jesus Mighty Name! (Tongues praying and praising) Thank and Praise your O’Lord, O Father who art in heaven, Yeshua, and YHWH! IT IS FINISHED JESUS SAID. Amen.

THERE IS POWER IN THE NAME OF...JESUS! THERE’S HEALING IN THE NAME OF ...JESUS! THE BIBLE SAYS DEMONS TREMBLE AT THE NAME OF JESUS! JESUS IS YESHUA, JESUS IS GOD, JESUS IS THE WORD OF GOD, JESUS IS THE SPIRIT OF GOD! AND ON THAT CROSS JESUS CONQUERED DEATH, HELL AND THE GRAVE! YOU NEED HEALING, YOU NEED DELIVERANCE, YOU TAKE IT TO THE CROSS. YOUR PRAYER HAS BEEN ANSWERED RIGHT THERE ON THE CROSS SO TAKE IT, IT’S YOURS!

Never take your need to God with timidity. The Bible says, “Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16) (KJV)

Don’t pray like this: O’God, who art Thou in Heaven, if it is not too much trouble, and only if I’m not bothering you, please excuse me for living...

YOU ARE A CHILD OF THE MOST HIGH GOD! JESUS IS YOUR HUSBAND! GOD IS YOUR HUSBAND ISAIAH 54:5! THE HOLY GHOST IS YOUR HUSBAND! YOU WERE MADE A NEW CREATION IN JESUS CHRIST!

Psst.... to the timid.... God already knows what you ask before you ask it...

SO.............

GO BOLDLY TO HIS THRONE OF GRACE! EXPECT A MIRACLE!

There’s a song.... DON’T GIVE UP ON THE BRINK OF A MIRACLE! REMEMBER YOU ARE NOT ALONE!

WHEN THERE IS NO ONE AROUND THERE’S JESUS! WHEN YOU ARE IN A CROWD, THERE IS JESUS! IN THE DARKNESS, JESUS IS THERE!

DRAW NEAR TO GOD AND GOD WILL DRAW NEAR TO YOU! (John 4:8)

“I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me” is the most powerful Scripture in the Bible.

Hear me out!

Say the issue you are having then say “I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me.” (Phil 4:13)
Use it to:

get rid of doubt...
to Pray.... “God, I want to pray for the right things so I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me....”

During on the most trying times in my life not long ago, God showed me when I say “I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me” (Phil 4:13), he ended the turmoil in my mind, the fear, the pain and made me totally at peace.

IT WAS WEIRD!

I LOVED THE BATTLE! I LOVED THE WAR!

BUT, GOD..... THE BATTLE IS NOT YOURS! THE BATTLE IS THE LORD’S! IT’S JESUS’S JOB.....AND HE WON IT ALL RIGHT THERE ON THAT CROSS! Battle’s rage today not because Jesus has to win it all over again.

NOOOOOOOOOOO!

Battles rage today BECAUSE IT IS UP TO US TO ENFORCE THE VICTORY JESUS CHRIST WON AT CALVARY WHEN HE SAID ‘IT. IS. FINISHED!”

Stop looking to men, stop looking to doctors, stop looking to everyone else. START LOOKING AT JESUS ON THAT CROSS! On the Cross, Jesus paid for your healing, Jesus bore your sin, Jesus was beaten for your peace, Jesus was crucified for your sin, Jesus was murdered for your deliverance. AMEN! AND HE ROSE FROM THE GRAVE AND THOUSANDS SAW HIM ASCEND TO HEAVEN!

God is the same yesterday, today and forever! Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever! The Holy Ghost is the same yesterday, today and forever!

Take your needs to the Cross at Calvary and by and by Jesus will hear your call from heaven AND HE WILL ANSWER YOUR CRY!

Amen!

Give the Lord your Praise!

Lord, and I know this will not be popular among me, I need to deal with my husband... I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!

Lord, I can’t deal with my kids... ... I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!

Lord, I need healing from Diabetes.... ... I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!

Do you get it? Do you see WHO WE ARE DEALING WITH?

JESUS DID IT ALL ON THAT CROSS AND HE CAN DO IT ALL THROUGH YOUR BECAUSE HE STRENGTHEN’S YOU!

Lord, I need peace in my mind, my body, my soul... ... I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!

And, Remember, our weapons are not carnal...

“For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)” (2 Cor 10:4)

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!

“Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;” (2 Cor 10:5) (KJV)

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!

“And having in a readiness to revenge all disobedience, when your obedience is fulfilled.” (2 Cor 10:4-6) (KJV)

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!

THE FLESH NOT DOING WHAT YOU WANT?

I CAN DO ALL THINGS THROUGH CHRIST WHO STRENGTHEN ME!

Where does sickness come from? Adam and Eve, before their fall, knew no sickness or infirmities. Until the sinned, they were flawless and perfect. They were eternal. We really have no idea how long they lived and thrived in the garden of Eden. They could've been there thousands and thousands of years.

But, sickness comes from sin. Who sinned first? It was Lucifer. His sin was pride. He thought he was equal to God because he was so beautiful. God called Satan's sin, "the mystery of iniquity." (2 Thess 2:7) I'm sure God knows the mystery, but in the Bible, He doesn't share it with us.

But, Satan's sin brought forth iniquity into the world, and Adam and Eve's sin brought forth our suffering and our sickness. You didn't get cancer due to your own sin, but you got cancer because of sin in the world.

Anyway, off to healing....

I was watching Joseph Prince and his wife was telling how she was healed completely of what she had. I don't remember what it was but it was serious. This is what she did: she imagined Jesus on the Cross at Calvary and she imagined giving her ailment to Him as He hung there on the cross. After she did this, for several weeks if I remember correctly, she was healed. Praise the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amazing concept, isn't it?

Here is the Scriptural basis for it.

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed." (Isaiah 53:5) (KJV)

In that Scripture's case, people were healed by the promise of Jesus being crucified and raised from the dead. It hadn't happened yet, but they were being healed totally by something that hadn't happened yet.

Isn't that simply amazing?

It gets better.

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed." (1 Peter 2:24) (KJV)

In the New Testament, after Jesus was crucified and raised from the dead, we were no longer healed by the promise of Jesus's sacrifice. In fact, ready for it?, we were healed! In Isaiah, they were healed in the present tense or "are." In 1 Peter, we were healed because of the past tense or "were."

In other words, Jesus already healed you on the Cross. You just need to claim, accept it!

Hallelujah!

No matter what you have, Jesus already paid for your healing. You just have to give it to Him by imagining Him taking it while He was on the Cross at Calvary just like Pastor Prince's wife did.

Therefore, any healing you need, from cancer to AIDS to a broken finger to even Herpes (Jesus took everything on the Cross) to drug addiction to depression to alcoholism, give it to Jesus on the Cross, let Him take it from you and be healed in the name of Jesus.

I remember this preacher once, if I remember correctly, said he went to heaven and saw this river of blood that was huge. He asked why it was so huge and they, forget who they were, told him, "That is the blood of Jesus that takes away the sin of the world." Honestly, one day, I want to see that river. It must be something.

Another way to look at healing...

What is so powerful?

Jesus's Blood!

There was a concept I saw that talked about regularly partaking in communion–the blood and body of Christ–to heal you and ward off sickness. Jesus's blood washes away all sin. (Ephesians 1:7). Our sins are covered by the blood of Jesus Christ He shed on the cross. The concept was communion heals us. Jesus told us to take communion in remembrance of Him. "And when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take, eat: this is my body, which is broken for you: this do in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is the new testament in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." (1 Cor 11:24-26) (KJV)

Did you really get what Jesus said about communion? His body was broken for us, his blood is the new testament–our new covenant with God.

His body took our sin, His blood was shed to cover it. In other words, His body took our infirmities and sickness and His blood covers our sin.

If His Blood gets rid of sin, doesn't that also means His Blood can cure our diseases?

Yep, it does.

When you ask God to heal you, perhaps the best way to show your faith for that healing is to take communion! Pour a little cup of something to symbolize his blood and take a cracker or something to symbolize his body and take communion knowing full well you are saying to God, "I'm doing this in remembrance of Jesus and to heal me of my <disease>."

Just make sure you repent before you do...

"For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come. Wherefore whosoever shall eat this bread, and drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body. For this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep." (1 Corinthians 11:24-30) (KJV)

"The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (1 John 1:29)

Since Jesus takes away the sin of the world, He surely can cure your infirmity!

See, God wants to heal you. Jesus already did provide for your healing. (Isaiah 53:5, 1 Peter 2:24)

All you really do is have to believe.

You need faith, but it is not difficult, according to Jesus: "And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." (Matt 17:20)

All you need is the faith of a grain of mustard seed. A mustard seed is about 1 to 2 millimeters in size so a grain of it is really, really small. So, see? You have at least that measure of faith. And, if you want more, ask Jesus for the Gift of Faith. It is one of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit.

See: https://www.bible-knowledge.com/gifts-of-the-holy-spirit/ for the Gifts of the Holy Spirit.

See: https://www.bible-knowledge.com/fruits-of-the-holy-spirit/ for the Fruits of the Holy Spirit.

The more Bible you read and understand, the more faith you shall have. "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." (Romans 10:17)

And, as always, ask God for wisdom, which He gives liberally and without finding fault. "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him." (James 1:5) (KJV)

God wants you wise not ignorant. Ignorance is where Satan operates so God wants you wise.

Satan doesn't attack you based on your past, but on the weight of the Spirit (Holy Spirit) that you carry. -Juanita Bynum

The Spirit Realm is more REAL than the physical realm we live in.

Why?

We are stuck to exist in the physical realm, but Angels, demons, Satan, fallen angels can move in both the spiritual world and the physical.

Notice how I didn't mention God.

God exists outside both the physical and spirit realms. He created both. God also lives outside of time. Time does not affect God. God, however, exists equally in all three realms, including the realm He originally came from. The Bible says nothing was created but by Him and Jesus says He's the beginning and the ending, the Alpha and Omega. (Revelation 22:13)

Basically, God is the only all-powerful being that can even exist. Satan is NOTHING compared to Jesus Christ.

So, you realize the Holy Spirit that lives inside you gives dominion over the spirit realm and the physical realm?

Most Christians don't realize their dominion. We have dominion over the animals, the plants, the earth and Satan and all his ilk.

Satan lives in perpetual fear that you will realize just how much dominion you have over him. You have to admit Satan has power, but you also must realize Greater is He (Holy Spirit) that lives in you than he than lives in the world. I John 4:4. The Bible also says you can tread on serpents and scorpions and none can hurt you. Luke 10:19-21.

You have limits only imposed on yourself because you don't know the Scriptures. That's why many don't know their dominion over Satan himself.

John 14:12 even quotes Jesus as saying we can do greater works than Him because He goes to the father.

Basically, YOU are meant to do greater works than Jesus and tread on serpents and scorpions just like Jesus did.

Don't fear the devil, because, the truth is, he's scared of you realizing you have dominion over him, and exercising it.

And, since we have dominion over Satan, we also have dominion over sickness...when you pray for someone, realize you are exercising your dominion and expect God to heal them.

Yeah, it really is that simple. Just believe it.

So, therefore, Jesus already made provisions for your healing, Jesus gives you dominion over Satan and sickness....

God really, really, really WANTS to Heal you.

Jesus said we’d do greater works than Him because He goes to the Father!

“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.” (John 14:12) (KJV)

Therefore, let me pray for your healing:

“Our heavenly Father, I give you all the honor, the glory and the praise. I come before you, humbly and boldly, and ask you heal the person reading this in Jesus mighty name. I command any spirit of sickness, illness, disease, infirmity, mental illness to depart in Jesus mighty name. I command, as you wrote I could do because I believe, the blind to see, the infirm to walk, the striken to rise and proclaim they are healed in Jesus mighty name. (Speaking in tongues over you). Thank you, Blessed Jesus, our hope and redeemer and healer. God, I give you praise, honor and glory in Jesus name. Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah! Amen!”


Deliverance

Do you need deliverance from alcoholism, demonic oppression, withcraft, demonic possession, pornography, mental illness, anything?

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7)
                
"Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions..." (Luke 10:19)

"The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly." (Romans 16:20)

Do you want to be delivered from Pornography and anything else?

Lord, I come to You and ask You ask the Father who Art in Heaven to release anyone bound from alcoholism, demonic oppression, witchcraft, demonic possession, pornography that reads this post to be FREE IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME, and I command all demons and fallen angels to flee in Jesus Might Name! They no longer have dominion over the person that wants to be free. YOU ARE FREE! Amen!

Satan wants you to make do all those things we just prayed about, AND HE is a LOSER and the father of ALL LIES! One day he is going to burn in Hell and he knows it and the Bible says, "He trembles with fear" (JAMES 2:19)

Satan HATES You!

Yes, Satan hates you. He hates me, he hates you, he hates everyone. "The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly," says Jesus in John 10:10 (KJV).

You won't find salvation in Witchcraft, Islam, Buddha, a Shinto Shrine, the Church of Scientology, a Kingdom Hall, the Angel Moroni, Mohammed, Confucianism, Jainism, Sikhism, Taoism, and Zoroastrianism. All those are LIES of Satan!

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.

"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

The Holy Spirit Baptism is a gift. Just pray, "God, I accept the Holy Spirit as a gift and welcome Him into my being. Thank and praise you Jesus for the Holy Spirit."

The Power Scriptures to live by:

I can do all things through Christ who strengthen me - phil 4:13.

No weapon formed against you shall prosper! Isaiah 54:17

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose. Romans 8:28

For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind. (2 Tim 1:7)

"Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions..." (Luke 10:19)

"The God of peace will crush Satan under your feet shortly." (Romans 16:20)

How to Live as a Christian



How to Live as a Christian

Pillar One

"Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and thou shalt be saved, and they house." (Acts 16:31) That's salvation. No one can steal it from you and it really obligates you to not do anything. Repent and it's the gift from God through his son Jesus. You can't earn it. After that, the Holy Spirit Baptism is a gift. Just thank God for him and he'll appear. And, when you repent in the future (do it daily), God renews your mind. If you want to find out renewing the mind works, don't repent for any reason for two weeks. Sin will build up and drive you nuts. But, repent, and your mind is renewed by the Holy Spirit. It really is that simple. "Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind..." (Romans 12:2)


Pillar Two

God's Grace is Sufficient. "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (2 Corinthians 12:9) Yep, if you sin, His grace is sufficient. I told God 2 years ago, "I ain't worrying about sin anymore. I'm not beating myself up over it, not controlling my thoughts, anything. Don't like it, God, kick me out. I don't give a f*ck." He's still around. Oh, just admit you're a hypocrite, because we all are. You can never live above sin. That's why God's grace is sufficient.

Pillar Three

"Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27) Jesus promised you peace. Enjoy it. It's peace amid the storms, peace amid the calm (some people love drama–but you can have peace without it), peace, peace, peace. You can have peace in poverty, in wealth, in middle class, wherever you are. If you are a Christian and don't have peace, might want to look at #2 and #4, but I'll bet 2 is your problem. Money does not give you happiness or peace.

Pillar Four

"Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets." (Matthew 22:37-41) Follow Jesus's two commandments. If you do that, you'll fulfill all the law and all the commandments.

Pillar Five

"And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts." (Galatians 5:24) Tell God everything in prayer, even if you are pissed at him. Tell him anyway. Let him have it. Do your worst. His ear is never tired. And, when done, listen for 10 minutes. Just listen. Ideas will pop into your head. That's the Holy Spirit chatting with you. God does not bring fear upon you, that's the devil. The flesh isn't your body. The flesh exalts itself over God. It is a thought that pops into your head that exalts you over God or says you don't need Him. The flesh also thinks Godly things are ridiculous. Don't listen to it or give it any space. Ignore such thoughts. Prayer is the thing that crucifies the flesh. Prayer is your weapon.

That's it.

Nothing else is needed, required or even worth thinking about.

Satan loves to tell new Christians they have blasphemed the Holy Spirit and committed the unforgivable sin. Ever worry about that? Stop. Simple thing--if you have the fear you did comitt it, guess what? You didn't. Anyway, it is extremely hard to commit. You have to get to the place of Esau when he found "no place of repentance." In other words, it is a place that you get to when you don't repent, or are simply incapable of doing so. You can use the Holy Spirit as a curse word (and some do), you can think bad things about him, etc. None of that is blasphemy of the Holy Spirit. It bothered me for years and even caused a nervous breakdown. It recently bothered me again, so I said, okay, what exactly is it. I learned some of what it really is from an ex-Satanist who said everything against the Holy Spirit you can imagine, he got saved and made it his mission to inform people what the unforgivable sin really is. It is basically you getting to a place of such a hardened heart, that you can't repent, which is very hard to get to. No Christian is going to consciously do that, and, honestly, few people get to that point Esau did. How about this? The Apostle Paul had Christians killed and called himself the chief of all sinners, and, glory to God, he wasn't beyond redemption, or repentance. God's mercy is so vast there is a literal river of Jesus's blood in heaven that covers all sins if one is ready to repent.

Yes, you can have a tattoo. Yes, you can listen to rock music. Yes, you can have a drink or two (Jesus said all things in moderation). No, you can't have an affair. LOL I don't even think he cares if you smoke weed here and there. He made it, after all. LOL

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

Amen and Hallelujah.

Grace is Something Only Jesus Offers



Grace is Something Only Jesus Offers

Pillar Two of How to Live the Christian Life is all about Grace.

https://www.transgenderchurch.com/2020/04/how-to-live-christian-life.html

God's Grace is Sufficient. "And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me." (2 Corinthians 12:9) Yep, if you sin, His grace is sufficient. I told God 2 years ago, "I ain't worrying about sin anymore. I'm not beating myself up over it, not controlling my thoughts, anything. Don't like it, God, kick me out. I don't give a f*ck." He's still around. Oh, just admit you're a hypocrite, because we all are. You can never live above sin. That's why God's grace is sufficient.

Grace is a gift of Jesus and we are in the dispensation of Grace. We are all hypocrites. God wants you to try to live holy, but you are human and will make mistakes. Repent and move on. No need to beat yourself up over it. God knows you are human. Grace is a better way.

But, there is more about Jesus and Grace. In the Stress Cure, Jamey Hammond talked about the powerful Scripture. "Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light." (Matt 11:28-30) (KJV)

Jesus promises you rest. Every have a great night's sleep and feel on top of the world the next morning? Jesus promises that in every aspect of your life. Rest. He also means rest from the burden of sin, but also means rest from the burden of life. Ooo, sound good?

Jamey explained the "yoke" is not the egg, but the collar farm animals wore when plowing the fields. Jesus said, "His yoke is easy." In other words, as Jamey said, "I am not here to add to your burdens." Jesus made salvation easy. Believe in Him and accept Him into your heart and you're saved. It is that simple.

In fact, I'll add further, Jesus is here to lighten your burdens, and, once you are His, He takes care of you: The Bible says, "But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus." (Philippians 4:19) (KJV) In you are God's, He said He'd take care of you. Count on it. What are the burdens holding you down? I remember hearing this: sin is a burden and fear is its result. When Jesus takes away your sins, he also takes away your fear. "Fear Not" is said by God many times in the Bible. God never wants you living in fear. All you have to do is accept it. Let God worry about it. Live one day at a time and let God worry about the rest.

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind." (2 Timothy 1:7) (KJV) God wants you to have power, fear not, love others and be of sound mind. Salvation means you are saved, Grace means you no longer worry about sin (I"m not saying go forth a sinning...LOL), and God takes away the fear, gives you power, gives you love so you can love others and gives you a sound mind. God even says so, "For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father." (Romans 8:15) (KJV) When God saves you, you are taken as His (adoption) and He clearly says, "not in bondage to fear." Jesus came to set the captives free, not enslave you again.

When you repent, you are renewing your mind. (Romans 12:12) (KJV) Yeah, it's that simple. And, when you pray, you crucify the flesh. Galatians 5:24 says, "And they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts.” (KJV) The flesh exalts you and exalts itself above God. The flesh are those thought opposed to God. That's the flesh. Prayer puts the flesh into submission. It is why Paul said to pray daily. 1 Thessalonians even says, "Pray without ceasing." (KJV) The more you pray, the more the Holy Spirit brings the flesh into submission. The flesh is our endemic nature. I remember reading a comic one time and it said, "I fight against my greatest enemy: myself." Honestly, aren't we always our own worst enemy? The flesh doesn't like how easy all of this Jesus makes it. But, it all is that easy.

Jesus was crucified, the only blameless man to walk the earth, and rose from the dead to take away the sins of everyone. "The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." (1 John 1:29) (KJV)

"The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly. I am the good shepherd: the good shepherd giveth his life for the sheep." (John 10:10-11) (KJV)

Jesus not only doesn't want to add to your burdens, and take away the ones you have, but he also wants you live more abundantly. Remember Pillar 3 in How to Live the Christian Life?: "Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid." (John 14:27) Jesus promised you peace. Enjoy it. It's peace amid the storms, peace amid the calm (some people love drama–but you can have peace without it), peace, peace, peace. You can have peace in poverty, in wealth, in middle class, wherever you are. Jesus alone gives you peace. Nothing the world has to offer will ever give you peace.

If you are not a Christian, doesn't this all sound good?

Do you know Jesus?

Well, it is easy to know him and experience his undying, unfathomable love and affection.

He came and died for you.
"For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life." (John 3:16) (KJV)

There is no greater love than Jesus.

"Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends." (John 15:13) (KJV)

Accept Him today if you don't know him.

Sinner's Prayer

"Dear Lord Jesus, I know that I am a sinner, and I ask for Your forgiveness. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and invite You to come into my heart and life. I want to trust and follow You as my Lord and Savior."

Now, go and tell someone and welcome to His Kingdom.

Amen and Hallelujah.
