"I
preached a sermon at the chapel last Sunday on the parable of the
sower in Luke 8. At the end of the
teaching I asked them to examine their motive for coming to Christ
whether it was genuine because they had sinned or was it to test
the waters of Christianity to reap the benefits that are so often
promised.
2 Corinthians 13:5 Examine yourselves, to
see whether you are in the faith. Test yourselves. Or do you not
realize
this
about yourselves,
that Jesus Christ is in you?--unless indeed you fail to meet the
test!
I asked them if their lives were bearing fruit worthy of their
repentance and told them that the proof of their salvation would
be to continue
to believe, continue to repent, and to continue to bare good
fruit as a result of their faith in Jesus Christ so that they would
not
come to the end at the wedding banquet lacking the wedding garmet.
Matthew 22:11 "But when the king came
in to look at the guests, he saw there a man who had no wedding
garment.
12 And he said
to him, 'Friend, how did you get in here without a wedding garment?'
And he was speechless. 13 Then the king said to the attendants,
'Bind him hand and foot and cast him into the outer darkness.
In
that place there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.'
I brought them through The Law (10 Commandments) to expose their
sin and shared The Gospel of The Cross and encouraged them to
repent of their sins and believe on Jesus Christ who has paid their
fine.
I encouraged them to read The Word daily and to let The Holy
Spirit be their teacher and to make no provision for sin, but to
be holy
as Jesus is holy.
Romans 13:14 But put on the Lord Jesus Christ,
and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires.
I told them that God does not change and that He still uses his
disciples to cast out demons and heal the sick as was commanded
in Luke 9 & 10. I told them that The Kingdom of God was among
them now and that I would call on the Father to heal the sick
and cast out demons to prove that Jesus Christ is the only way
to the
Father.
Acts 4:12 And there is salvation in no one
else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by
which we must be
saved."
Miraculous healings confirm the word of God
Mary
and I commanded in the name of Jesus Christ for demons to flee
and infirmities to be healed and following that we asked
if there were any testimonies and a woman testified that her
eyesight
had definitely improved for she was looking at the words on
the outside of a Bible cover which she couldn’t previously
read but now could read perfectly. Two other women had said
they felt
addictions fall off of them. We asked if there were any bad
knee problems and a woman came forward saying she needed a replacement.
Mary laid hands on her knee and we commanded it to be healed
and told her to walk and she reported that the severe pain
was
gone.
And more...
The following Wednesday evening at our Prison Bible study a woman
who was at the Sunday service had blood vessels burst in
both eyes. Her eyes were totally bloodshot throughout her eyes
and she told
us that during the service she had felt something different
about her eyes and after service she went and looked in the mirror
and
her eyes were all clear.
There have been several healings in our class, to name a few,
a woman who had severe pain following several back surgeries
was healed. The pain was gone,
and she has total range of motion. A woman had
endured abdominal pain all through the class. When we
ministered healing at a distance (as Jesus did in Luke 7),
all the pain left.
A woman had arthritis in her hands such that she couldn’t
make a fist and her hand was restored. She came up to me in
class and told me that her condition was due to a horse riding
injury
where
the horse’s weight had crushed her hand with about
2000 pounds of pressure. She reported that she had a gift
for drawing
but had
not been able to draw any pictures in a while. After the
Lord healed her, she showed me some recent pictures she
had drawn and they were
beautiful.
A woman had a decayed tooth pulled by the dentist in the
prison and was in severe pain. She had been waiting
all week
to see us so we commanded the pain to go and she was healed
immediately.
Putting to death the works of the flesh
While
we were teaching about disciples walking in holiness a woman told
us that while her husband
was
in
prison she had
committed adultery and that she had knowledge of him doing
it as well. This past act had been weighing heavily on
her heart. She said that she wanted to be obedient in walking
as Jesus did.
I shared with her and the class about the authority Jesus
has given us to cast out demons and heal the sick is the
same authority
that
we must exercise over sin in our lives. I taught that we
are no longer slaves to sin but slaves to righteousness, and
that Christ
expects
us to be holy as he is holy.
We prayed
over this woman and commanded
any past demons to flee and come out of her. She was very
broken before God and the next week she proclaimed that
when evil
came up in her mind that it was as if she didn’t
hardly have to battle at all and she was smiling almost
with a giggle
of
joy about
her defeat over the enemy.
There were many more healings that took place, but these
are the ones I could recall. I pray that these may be helpful
to
those who read them so as to produce faith
in Jesus Christ and to walk as he did."
Glory To Jesus Christ,
Kurt & Mary
