As we worship Him as we gather, God sees our heart
The anointing stays with the people.
Manifestations of the healing can take place.
When He comes, faith is released
Instant healing or they shall recover.
We are in this world but not of this world
We are the new creation. Under this umbrella of the Lord’s love, is blessing and blessing.
We are God’s good news. We carry God’s good news
This ministry is all about the ministry of Jesus
God is equipping, restoring us for the lost world today
We can reach out to the world
We have direct signal from Jesus, from the Holy Spirit
Jesus our Beauty our Confidence our Help in time of needs!
Isaiah 61:3 NLT
To all who mourn in Israel,
he will give a crown of beauty for ashes,
a joyous blessing instead of mourning,
festive praise instead of despair.
In their righteousness, they will be like great oaks that the Lord has planted for his own glory.
Knowing our Daddy God and knowing our Holy Spirit more and more
Beauty -
embellishment - to make beautiful with ornamentation
Isaiah 53:2
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness;
and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
When He came 2000 years ago, He was so beautiful and full of glory. Yet the bible described Him as no beauty that we should desire Him. He was beaten at the cross.
Beauty brings forth desire.
At the cross physically He was so marred
Isaiah 53:3
He is despised and rejected of men;
a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.
He was despised, rejected
Rejected -
Vacant, frail, lacking
Our Lord Jesus was rejected
He was betrayed.
He cried for the children of Israel but they received Him not.
The jews said crucified Him
How painful that must be for our Lord Jesus Christ.
In the bible, the Word said never compare with anyone in life
Look at Jesus. Rejection is like being empty.
There is perfection in the spirit. In the physical and mental we are going on to perfection
If we wait for acceptance from the world, there are a lot of conditions before we are accepted.
Jesus experienced worse than all rejection
Isaiah 53:4 AMP
But [in fact] He has borne our griefs,
And He has carried our sorrows and pains;
Yet we [ignorantly] assumed that He was stricken, Struck down by God and degraded and humiliated [by Him]
When you touch Him when your eyes are opened by the Holy Spirit to see Him, He is the Only One who has the authority to heal you.
He who borne your grief (sickness) He carried our sorrows
Jesus came to give us complete salvation
When we are at rest we know He is in control
God’s healing is forever. God never do halfway.
God is your complete Healer. Our faith is not in doctors but is in our Saviour !
As the Holy Spirit turns your eyes and heart to Jesus, you are healed.
It was for us to receive the divine healing and acceptance from Jesus
Isaiah 53:5 AMP
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was crushed for our wickedness [our sin, our injustice, our wrongdoing];
The punishment [required] for our well-being fell on Him,
And by His stripes (wounds) we are healed.
Complete wholeness
Heaven came down. Jesus came down. Whatever He went through on the cross is for us to have this well being.
Man has to be punished for their sins. This punishment was taken on by our Lord Jesus Christ
Stripes -
Bruise, wound, blow
A weal (black, blue mark itself)
Jesus’ body must be all black and blue at the cross.
Jesus has taken all the wound, blue black for us.
Healed - rapha
To heal, divine health
Make healthful
To cure; make whole
To mend (by stitching)
When Jesus does something, it is eternal. Forever. Everyday!
When God stitch us, we don’t need to remove stitches
Psalms 51:17
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit:
a broken and a contrite heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
Our Lord Jesus’ heart has been broken the most.
Broken and Contrite heart
Psalm 51:16-17 TPT
For the source of your pleasure is not in my performance or the sacrifices I might offer to you.
The fountain of your pleasure is found
in the sacrifice of my shattered heart before you. You will not despise my tenderness as I bow down humbly at your feet.
Serve Him is different category to just receive Him. Those who has the heart to serve Him there is a place of sacrifice unto God. That means God allow us to go through the shepherd heart, the broken heart.
What is the purpose? Jesus, the Son, came as Servant.
SHATTERED HEART
1 Corinthians 1:28 KJV
And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are:
Jesus was despised. Looked down
How does God choose us?
How does that calling upon you?
God chose those that are nothing to bring to nought things that are
Despised-
To make of no account
Least esteemed
To make utterly nothing of
Set at nought
Nobody, nothing
Is the nobody that God choose
He chose on very different qualification
God can use anyone even a nobody
If God can use nobody, God can use me.
Raise up and take up the call of God upon your life.
The humble attitude, we are nobody if not for God
Kathryn Kuhlman made a big mistake in her life and ministry. Yet she still rose up and served the Lord in much more greater anointing.
She was despised and rejected and she rose up
1 Cor 1:28 TPT
He chose the lowly, the laughable in the world’s eyes—nobodies—so that he would shame the somebodies. For he chose what is regarded as insignificant in order to supersede what is regarded as prominent,
God sees us so different
1 Cor 1:29-31 TPT
so that there would be no place for prideful boasting in God’s presence.
For it is not from man that we draw our life but from God as we are being joined to Jesus, the Anointed One. And now he is our God-given wisdom, our virtue, our holiness, and our redemption.
And this fulfils what is written:
If anyone boasts, let him only boast in all that the Lord has done!
Put our hearts and mind under the teaching and leading of the Holy Spirit
The boasting is in Christ
God makes our heart big. As our heart grows bigger, our head becomes smaller.
Without Him we can do nothing.
1 Cor 1:29-31 NLT
As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God.
God has united you with Christ Jesus. For our benefit God made him to be wisdom itself. Christ made us right with God; he made us pure and holy, and he freed us from sin.
Therefore, as the Scriptures say, “If you want to boast, boast only about the Lord.”
He still love you no matter what mistakes you make in your life.
Hebrews 4:14-15 NLT
So then, since we have a great High Priest who has entered heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to what we believe.
This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.
Jesus our high priest He understands us.
He understands our weaknesses, our failures, the things you don’t want the world knows about.
Hebrews 4:15 KJV
For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin.
Feeling-
To be affected with the same feeling as another, to sympathise with, to feel for, have compassion on
To feel “sympathy” with, that is, (by implication)
To understand someone in their weakness and to have compassion for them when they fall
At those time we are sick or we have done wrong, this is the time in our weakness we can say out He is our righteousness
When we are weak, we have no strength
Tempted -
To attempt a thing, to make trial of a thing or of a person, to experience, learn to know by experience
A test, trial
Jesus felt how we felt
The woman who had 5 husbands, and she felt fulfilment only in Christ
Whatever brokenness you have gone through in life, God turn things around for good.
Jesus poured into us His agape love
Hebrews 4:16 KJV
Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.
Throne of Grace
We have our high priest who understands our weaknesses and He don’t condemn us.
Now we can come boldly unto the throne of grace
Boldly -
Freedom in speaking
Assurance
We know Jesus sympathise with our weaknesses and failures
Jesus became no beauty, so that we can become beautiful
He crowns us and the result of it is boldness and confidence
Boast not of ourselves. In the world we are the display of His beauty and glory
He accepts our weaknesses. He sympathies on our failures
When we are nothing, this empty vessel, God can fill us with His beauty.
Beauty for the hidden man of the heart
Beauty brings boldness
In our weakness is His strength make perfect.
He does not condemn you because you have failed in the sight of the world
When we have the boldness we receive His grace and help in times of need
Help -
A rope or chain for frapping a vessel- help
Bind -(something) tightly
Save us from our weaknesses
He is the One who heals and touches
Our confidence is in Him when we know we don’t need to hide our failure from Him
He understands us.
Sin has no more power over us.
We will experience restoration and wholeness
In our nothingness He can make us into His beautiful creation
1 John 5:14-15 TPT
Since we have this confidence, we can also have great boldness before him, for if we ask anything agreeable to his will, he will hear us.
And if we know that he hears us in whatever we ask, we also know that we have obtained the requests we ask of him.
If anyone observes a fellow believer habitually sinning in a way that doesn’t lead to death, you should keep interceding in prayer that God will give that person life. Now, there is a sin that leads to death, and I’m not encouraging you to pray for those who commit it.
Jesus makes us beautiful
In that beautiful of Christ we can boldly come to the throne of grace and receive
Confidently boldly take your health, take your healing, your providence
Confidently receive
Raise up and see the strength of God over you
Condemnation of failure is something very horrible. When you are under condemnation, it kills you
Everyone of us are called. We have weaknesses. His strength can display in us and through us.
Today everyone of us here will raise up to be a new creation.
A nobody in the world to be somebody in God’s interview to serve the Lord
We are qualified to serve Him.
