I want YOUR HEALING, CLEANSING, and DELIVERANCE , but I don’t want YOUR PRECEPTS and PRINCIPLE!!!

LET'S GET REAL!!

I am continuing on this path of getting REAL BEFORE THE LORD. HERE are my thoughts for today!!

" LORD JESUS, I want YOUR healing,cleansing, and deliverance, but I don't want YOUR precepts and principles to influence my life,"

OH MY How convenient of us. 

 We want HIS goods without any of the eternal change to come to our life!!!

We desire HIS FORGIVENESS, HEALING, and DELIVERANCE, but we don’t want to FALL DOWN BEFORE HIM and WORSHIP HIM or walk according to HIS WORD, down the NARROW PATH.

I am reminded of the 10 lepers this morning:

LUKE 17: 12  And as he entered into a certain village, there met him ten men that were lepers, which stood afar off:

LUKE 17: 13  And they lifted up [their] voices, and said, Jesus, Master, have mercy on us.

LUKE 17: 15  And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, turned back, and with a loud voice glorified God,

LUKE 17: 16 And fell down on [his] face at his feet, giving him thanks: and he was a Samaritan

LUKE 17: 17 And Jesus answering said, Were there not ten cleansed? but where [are] the nine?  

LUKE 17: 18 There are not found that returned to give glory to God, save this stranger

LUKE 17: 19 And he said unto him, Arise, go thy way: thy faith hath made thee whole.  

They came to JESUS, seeking healing and only ONE returned to WORSHIP to give GLORY TO GOD, and he was made WHOLE/complete/BORN AGAIN.

Have you found it interesting in this verse how ALL 10 were HEALED and YET ONLY ONE WAS MADE WHOLE??

HEALING of the FLESH is not equated with being made WHOLE.

HE IS OUR KINSMEN REDEEMER, and SALVATION is to be MADE "WHOLE"/ DELIVERED from the penalty of JUDGMENT/condemnation, through JESUS CHRIST: 

WHOLE:

1) to save, keep safe and sound, to rescue from danger or destruction

a) one (from injury or peril)

1) to save a suffering one (from perishing), i.e. one suffering from disease, to make well, heal, restore to health

1) to preserve one who is in danger of destruction, to save or rescue

b) to save in the technical biblical sense

1) negatively

a) to deliver from the penalties of the Messianic judgment

b) to save from the evils which obstruct the reception of the Messianic deliverance

WHAT CAN WE LEARN FROM THIS PASSAGE OF SCRIPTURE??

“ONLY ONE was made WHOLE.. delivered from the penalty of condemnation”

Why? Because HE RETURNED to “WORSHIP” and gave HIM GLORY for what HE HAD DONE.  

HE had a GLIMPSE OF GOD, and in that moment HE HONORED and PRAISED HIS NAME!!!

HOW many today are truly like this leper? OR like the other 9 lepers who went off with their healing without any acknowledgement to JESUS CHRIST or GOD the FATHER?

WE ASK for so much, out of our own desire!!!!

WE DESIRE HIS HEALING and DELIVERANCE:

We seek HIM SO OFTEN for our healing and our deliverance of our FLESH and  still today “FEW” will truly turn to HIM to be MADE WHOLE, COMPLETE, to be REBORN in HIS SPIRIT. 

WE DESIRE FORGIVENESS:

FORGIVENESS is WONDERFUL, wonderful to the soul and spirit. It is refreshing to have a NEW START in life.

But sometimes I wonder??

Do the many seek FORGIVENESS so that they can simply “FEEL the freedom”,  the burden of their past lifted from their shoulders.

SIMPLY so they can run off feeling REFRESHED, having their OLD BURDENS lifted just to start NEW ONES?

NEW WINE must be put in NEW WINE SKINS!!!

ONE must be BORN AGAIN to enter into HEAVEN!!!

DO YOU LOVE HIM????

How many today will TRULY fall down and WORSHIP HIM? How many will TRULY LOVE HIM for what HE has done for us, and what HE is going to do?

GIVE their LIFE TO HIM, as a LIVING SACRIFICE in a covenant relationship of  “WALKING with HIM DAILY” down that narrow path of being conformed and transformed into HIS IMAGE, through OBEDIENCE to HIM?

JOHN 15: 10 If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father's commandments, and abide in his love. 

LET US RETURN TO OUR FIRST LOVE, JESUS CHRIST in WORSHIP and PRAISE, so that WE can be HEALED and RESTORED IN THE PERFECT PEACE OF JESUS CHRIST!!!

TRUE HEALING is complete, and PERFECTED only IN JESUS CHRIST.

 Where we have no need of this worlds goods, to fill your hunger and thirst.

MAY THE LORD open up our HEART that we can have ears to hear and eyes to see.

That AT HIS RETURN we have no need to be ashamed!!! 

That we give HIM the TRUE REVERENCE and WORSHIP that ONLY HE DESERVES!! 

  AMEN and AMEN

DEUT 5: 29 O that there were such an heart in them, that they would fear me, and keep all my commandments always, that it might be well with them, and with their children for ever!
