HIS WILL


 


HIS WILL

 

 

1Tim2:3-4 “For this is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE in the sight of God our Saviour…                            

Who WILL have ALL men to be saved,

and to come unto the knowledge of the TRUTH.”

 

First of all… what is the WILL of God our Savior for ALL men… or mankind?

                  TO BE SAVED!

                                    THAT is what is GOOD and ACCEPTABLE in His sight.

 

 “SAVED” is translated from the Greek word “SOZO” – which means:

                  To heal

                  To deliver

                  To save

                  To rescue

                  To preserve

                  To get on well

                  To prosper

                  To be made whole

The word “SAVED” refers to the whole package…

                  …EVERY TIME!

                   

So… why the question, “Is it God’s WILL to heal?”

Let me ask this… “Is it God’s WILL to forgive sins?”

 

 Lk5:23-24 “Which is easier, to say, 'Your sins are forgiven you,' or… 'Rise up and walk'?

But that you may know that the Son of Man has power on earth to forgive sins"…  "I say to you, arise, take up your bed, and go to your house."

 

Apparently, there was no difference for Jesus Christ, who is the “EXPRESS IMAGE” – the exact character and nature – of God,

who purged our sins (Heb1:3)…

who went about doing good, and healing ALL that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him. (Acts10:38)

 

“…And the people… followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing.” (Lk9:11)

“…And (He) HEALED THEM ALL.” (Lk6:19)

 

Jesus even declared in Jn5:30 “…I seek not MY OWN WILL, but the WILL OF THE FATHER which hath sent me.”

“…My meat is to do THE WILL OF HIM THAT SENT ME, and to finish his work.” (Jn4:34)

 

He was always demonstrating His Father’s WILL…  AT HAND…  RIGHT NOW!

 

REMEMBER... If you have seen Him...

you've seen the Father (Jn14:9)


 

1Jn5:14-15 “Now this is the CONFIDENCE that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to HIS WILL, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the PETITIONS that we have asked of Him.”

PETITIONS: from “aiteo” – strictly a demand for something due… like a check written for something already in your account

 

HIS WILL: He put it in your account 2000 years ago…

                  “He TOOK our infirmities and BORE our sicknesses” (Mt8:17;Isa53:4)

(1Pe2:24) “BY HIS STRIPES YOU WERE HEALED!”

THE FOOD PRAYER

  THE FOOD PRAYER   Paul, on the topic of abstaining from certain foods, explicitly tells Timothy, “…For EVERYTHING God has created is GOOD , and nothing is to be rejected if it is received with GRATITUDE ; for it is SANCTIFIED [set apart, dedicated to God] by means of the WORD OF GOD and PRAYER .” (1Ti4:4-5AMP)     Most of us have been taught from a young age to pray for our food. We don't necessarily know “WHY”… BUT WE DO IT… …even into our old age, knowing it is something “proper” to be done, becoming just another thoughtless, religious mantra chanted as a precursor to satiating our appetite.   We have even invented clever, rhyming “prayers” easily remembered and quoted by children. The one my dad taught me:                    “Down with your head… up with your paws… thank the good Lord for the use of your jaws”     Now… was I receiving that bologna sandwich with gratitude?    ...

THE DAILY LOAD

  THE DAILY LOAD   “Blessed be the Lord Who daily loads us with benefits, The God of our salvation! Selah” (Ps68:19)   The word, “selah” is used throughout the Psalms and other Hebrew music and poetry as a notation similar to “a rest” in our modern music. However, it indicates a broader word picture of… “to pause and consider or reflect in order to lift up and exalt the topic just sung or played.”   So… that is exactly what I did after reading this verse… I SELAH’D… meditating on each word and phrase to get the thought, intent, purpose, and motive infused into what was said: ·        Blessed – to offer gratitude with a physical expression of submission, humility, and reverence in relationship during prayer and worship. ·        Lord - Adonay – the ONLY ONE with sovereign power, majesty, and undisputed right of decision ·        Daily – day to day to day… ad infinitum [Lam3:22...

THINKING WITH THE HEART

Image
THINKING WITH THE HEART   Pr23:7 says about man, “…as he THINKS IN HIS HEART , so is he…” THINKS - shaar: To calculate, reckon, estimate, or think   WHAAAAT?  YOU CAN THINK IN YOUR HEART ?   In 1991, pioneer neuro-cardiologist Dr. J. Andrew Armour discovered that the heart possessed its own complex nervous system that acts as a brain… yet functions independently from the brain in the head. He coined the term, “HEART BRAIN”, and has proven this “HEART BRAIN” senses, processes and records information internally and autonomously, usually WELL  BEFORE  the brain’s conscious thought reacts to it. It is the body’s FIRST RESPONDER .     Apparently, science is finally acknowledging what the Bible has always stated:   THE HEART … not the brain… has always been considered to be the center of being… The Hebrew word for HEART (leb) is referenced as the source of all emotion, will, thought, purpose, intent, intuition, direction, conscience, intellect,...
