2 Corinthians 1:8-11

For we do not want you to be ignorant, brethren, of our [a]trouble which came to us in Asia: that we were burdened beyond measure, above strength, so that we despaired even of life. 9 Yes, we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in ourselves but in God who raises the dead, 10 who delivered us from so great a death, and [b]does deliver us; in whom we trust that He will still deliver us, 11 you also helping together in prayer for us, that thanks may be given by many persons on [c]our behalf for the gift granted to us through many.

Put your trust in Jesus Christ, you will never be put to shame

He will delver you

We are meant to come together so that we can encourage each other in the faith, so that we can pray for one another

Paul was delivered through the prayer of the saints.

They prayed, and when they prayed, even Paul was helped by the Lord

We care for one another and we pray for one another

Confess your thoughts to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed

That is so powerful

Confess your challenges

Acts 14:8-10

And in Lystra a certain man without strength in his feet was sitting, a cripple from his mother’s womb, who had never walked. 9 This man heard Paul speaking. [a]Paul, observing him intently and seeing that he had faith to be healed, 10 said with a loud voice, “Stand up straight on your feet!” And he leaped and walked

He heard! He only heard! When he heard, faith came. When the faith came with the word of declaration, STAND UP, he did not just stand up, he leaped and walked!

This is amazing miracle. A man who was born lame

What did he hear?

Acts 14:7

And they were preaching the gospel there

What do you need to hear in order for the power of God to come into your life?

Gospel of the grace of God on all of us

We are saved by grace through faith, and not of ourselves, not of works, lest anyone should boast

You are not saved by good works, but saved for good works

It is not by our good works we are healed. Healing is unmerited grace of God.

He simply heard what Jesus has done and faith came, and he was healed! Not his good works!

Wherever the gospel goes, God’s power goes!

Faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of Christ

Jesus died at the cross for my sins

All the sins in our entire life was placed on Him

He was judged by God for our sins, every sins and even sin we have yet to commit in our future. God placed it on Jesus. He died willingly for us.

All our sins are forgiven!

Today we are the righteousness of God in Christ

Your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit

How do you see God?

How do you see Jesus? He is smiling at you

1 sacrifice for sin forever

Acts 20:22-24

And see, now I go bound in the spirit to Jerusalem, not knowing the things that will happen to me there, 23 except that the Holy Spirit testifies in every city, saying that chains and tribulations await me. 24 [a]But none of these things move me; nor do I count my life dear to myself, so that I may finish my [b]race with joy, and the ministry which I received from the Lord Jesus, to testify to the gospel of the grace of God.

The gospel of grace is burning, a fame that never dies!

God is for us! God is not judging our sins against us

Romans 1: 16-17

For I am not ashamed of the gospel [a]of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. 17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written, “The just shall live by faith.”

Unspeakable joy!

Malachi 4:2

But to you who fear My name

The Sun of Righteousness shall arise

With healing in His wings;

And you shall go out

And grow fat like stall-fed calves.

Through the sun, we see light

Sun can also be seen as a source of light

The sun is the source of heat and light and the source of life

The Sun of Righteousness shall arise

With healing in His wings

Righteousness has got to do with Jesus 

When you preach the gospel, there will be healing in His wings

The wings is the Hebrew word Kanaph

kanaph (Strong's Definitions) an edge or extremity; specifically of a bird, a wing, a garment, a flapJewish men will wear prayer shawl

Luke 8: 43-48

43 Now a woman, having a flow of blood for twelve years, who had spent all her livelihood on physicians and could not be healed by any, 44 came from behind and touched the border of His garment. And immediately her flow of blood stopped.

45 And Jesus said, “Who touched Me?”

When all denied it, Peter [a]and those with him said, “Master, the multitudes throng and press You, [b]and You say, ‘Who touched Me?’ ”

46 But Jesus said, “Somebody touched Me, for I perceived power going out from Me.” 47 Now when the woman saw that she was not hidden, she came trembling; and falling down before Him, she declared to Him in the presence of all the people the reason she had touched Him and how she was healed immediately.

48 And He said to her, “Daughter, [c]be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.”

Go into peace

The Lord wanted her to know that she is not just another women in the multitude of women in this world, but she is a daughter

He said to her, be of good cheers!

He is anointed with the oil of gladness

She touched the righteousness of God

In order to be righteous, the man has to fulfil every single one of the 10 commandments. This woman touched the righteousness of God and no longer depend on her own righteousness, and immediately she was healed

Jeremiah 33: 6-9

6 Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth. 7 And I will cause the captives of Judah and the captives of Israel to return, and will rebuild those places as at the first. 8 I will cleanse them from all their iniquity by which they have sinned against Me, and I will pardon all their iniquities by which they have sinned and by which they have transgressed against Me. 9 Then it shall be to Me a name of joy, a praise, and an honor before all nations of the earth, who shall hear all the good that I do to them; they shall fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.’

We see an end time reviver

Jeremiah 33:11

" the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say:

"Praise the LORD of hosts, For the LORD is good,

For His mercy endures forever" —and of those who will bring the sacrifice of praise into the house of the LORD. For I will cause the captives of the land to return as at the first,' says the LORD.

fear and tremble for all the goodness and all the prosperity that I provide for it.

This is the reviver!

You are in it!

The preaching of the gospel of the grace of God

You must believe you are forgiven 

The Sun of righteousness shall arise in the healing of His wings

You believe you are righteous in Him!

All your sins are forgiven
