Jesus Christ the Same Hebrews 13:8 NASB- Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today and, yes and forever. The Passion Translation reads- Jesus, the Anointed One, is aways the same—yesterday, today, and forever. Jesus NEVER CHANGES! His will never changes, His power hasn’t diminished! Let’s take a look at what Jesus did in relation to healing. Matt. 4:23 NIV- Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, proclaiming the good news of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness among the people. Acts 10:38 NLT- And you know that God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. Then Jesus went around doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Matt. 11:5 John the Baptizer asked one of his disciples who had come to visit him while he was in jail before he was beheaded by Herod, “Ask Him if he is truly the One was to come, or should we look for another?” Jesus told the messenger, “Tell him, ‘the blind see, the lame walk, those with leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor.’” Mark 6:55-56-55 NLT and they ran throughout the whole area, carrying sick people on mats to wherever they heard he was. 56 Wherever he went—in villages, cities, or the countryside—they brought the sick out to the marketplaces. They begged him to let the sick touch at least the fringe of his robe, and all who touched him were healed. Jesus healed in Bible days! But He is the same TODAY as He was YESTERDAY. His Word doesn’t change, Ps. 119:89 NASB- Forever, O Lord, Thy WORD is settled in heaven. John 1:1 In the BEGINNING was the WORD, the Word was with God and the WORD was GOD! Jesus was the WORD in the beginning, He was the WORD when he manifested among us and He will be the WORD tomorrow! He NEVER CHANGES. In Matthew chapter 8 after Jesus had finished His famous Sermon on the Mount, He came down from the mountain and great multitudes followed Him. A leper came to Him and said, “Lord if you are willing, You can make me clean.” Jesus reached out His hand and touched Him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” And immediately his leprosy was cleansed. Then as He entered Capernaum a centurion came to Him, “Lord my servant is sick, paralyzed at home, suffering great pain.” Jesus said, “ I WILL go and heal him.” The centurion answered, “Lord, I am not worthy for You to come under my roof, but just SAY THE WORD, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I too am a man under authority, with soldiers under me; and I say to this one, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and to another, “Come!” and he comes, and to my slave, “Do this!” and he does it.” Jesus commended him for his great faith. And then he said to him, “Go your way; let it be done to you as you have believed.” And the servant was healed that very hour. Jesus hasn’t changed and His WORD has not lost its power. Because God and His Word are ONE and the SAME and Jesus Christ is the same Yesterday, Today and Forever! Jesus healed Peter’s mother-in-law who was sick with a fever, with just a touch on her hand. Matt. 8:16- And when evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed; and He cast out the spirits with a word and HEALED ALL WHO WERE ILL. This was a fulfillment of O.T. prophecy: Isa 53:4-5 NKJV- Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 5 But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Everywhere Jesus went He was moved with compassion on people and He Healed them. Exodus 15:26 “I am the God that heals you.” It’s in the nature and character of God to heal. Healing comes to us by FAITH the same as our salvation comes when we accept the promise of God in relation to salvation. Heb. 11:6 TPT- And without faith living within us it would be impossible to please God. For we come to God in faith knowing that he is real and that He rewards the faith of those who give all their passion and strength into seeking Him. And faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. (Rom. 10:17) NKJV Word: here is Rhema: something spoken clearly and vividly, in unmistakable terms and in an undeniable language. A QUICKENED WORD! Ps. 107:20- He sent His Word and He healed them. Or as one translation says, “He SENDS His Word and Heals them.” The Bible is clear about what God wants for you and also what the devil wants for you. John 10:10 The thief comes not but for to kill, steal, and destroy. KJV- that’s what the devil wants. He is a thief, a liar, and destroyer. Jesus said, “But I am come that you might have LIFE and have it more abundantly. Life: Greek- Zoe- A life filled with vitality. And Abundantly: periossos: above and beyond what is regular, extraordinary or even exceeding. Not just abundance, but SUPER ABUNDANCE. Eph. 3:20 NKJV- Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that works in us… 1 Jn. 3:8- KJV- The Son of God was manifested to destroy (luo: untie, or unloose) the works of the devil. Many people are sick and bound by the devil. Sin is the cause of sickness. Some would point to John chapter nine and say that is not so. But in the case of that man who was healed from blindness, the question was asked, “Who sinned, him or his father and mother that caused his blindness? Jesus said, “Neither, but so that the Father can be glorified.” Sickness is in the world because of sin and all have sinned and fallen short of the glory of God (Rom. 3:23) and are victims of the curse of sin and sickness as a result of the fall of man because of Adam’s sin, but Jesus has “redeemed us from the curse of the law, having become a curse for us (Gal. 3:13-14 TPT Christ paid the full price to set us free from the curse of the law. He absorbed it so completely as He became a curse in our place. For it is written: “Everyone who hangs on a tree is doubly cursed.” 14 Jesus our Messiah was cursed in our place and in so doing, dissolved the curse from our lives, so that the blessings of Abraham can be poured out upon even non-Jewish believers. And now God gives us the promise of the wonderful Holy Spirit who lives within when we believe in Him.” Luke 10:10-13 NKJV- Now He was teaching in one of the synagogues on the Sabbath. 11 And behold, there was a woman who had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. 12 But when Jesus saw her, He called her to Him and said to her, “Woman, you are loosed from your infirmity.” 13 And He laid His hands on her, and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. Jesus loosed (luo) her from her infirmity that was caused by a spirit. The devil will use any means possible to keep a person bound. All sickness is spiritual by nature. GOD DOES NOT PUT A SICKNESS ON ANYONE! Some have taught that it is God’s will for some people to be sick. That is a false doctrine that the devil has used to keep people bound and even to kill them. It would be foolish to believe that God would use a sickness to keep a person humble or to teach them a lesson. If that is so, then why would anyone go to the doctor and take medicine to try to get well if their sickness was put on them by God? That would be attempting to thwart God’s will. Dr T.L. Osborn said, “A woman asked if he thought her late husband had left her any money?” He said, “Did you read his will?” She said, “No.” Then he told her, “read the will and find out.” Many ask if it’s God’s will to heal them. But they never read His will to find out. The Bible is God’s will and Testament. In the New Testament it is the last Will and Testament of Jesus Christ, the Messiah. He has left us a book full of promises that are there to be received by those who believe. If we never read His Testament, then we don’t know the promises He has for us. The word salvation is translated in the N.T. from two separate words with two different meanings. One, Soteria: deliverance, to save from peril or destruction. The other SOZO: salvation, restoration to wholeness… That’s what Jesus did for you! 1 Peter 2:24 Who Himself bare our sins in His own body, that we being dead to sins might lie unto righteousness, and by WHOSE STRIPES Ye WERE HEALED. Get ahold of that. It’s a forgone conclusion. The same YESTERDAY, TODAY, and FOREVER. 2 Cor. 1:20 “All His promises in Him are always Yes, and Amen!” Mal. 3:6 “I, the Lord, do not change…” Heb. 13:8 He’s the same Yesterday, Today and FOREVER… The same Jesus who healed then, the same Jesus who heals today. Jn 14:12-13 NASB- Truly, Truly, I say to you, he who believes in Me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; BECAUSE I go to the Father. 13 And whatever you ask in My Name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 15 If you ask ANYTHING in My name, I WILL DO IT. This is how Jesus gets the job done today. And the Father gets all the glory through Him. Do you need healing today? ONLY BELIEVE! Mark 9:23- All things are possible to him who believes. There is enough faith here in this room to heal the sick, cast out demons, raise the dead and see miracles. Let’s release that faith right now! If you need healing RECEIVE it right now. Lay your hands on what is hurting or sick in your body and BE HEALED!
