Why I’m Praying For The Sick
He never ordained us to build any church. He never ordained us to make a hospital, make a school, or have a seminary. He never one time commissioned us to do that. All them things are good, but yet He did commission us to preach the Gospel to all the world. And we’ve built schools, and seminaries, and taught theology, and one third of the world is all that’s heard about Jesus yet.
But after all, passing tracts is not preaching the Gospel. “The Gospel came not in word only,” said Paul, “but through power and demonstration of the Holy Ghost.” See, you go… Not just teach the Word, but preach, make manifest the Word. The Word has to be made alive. It’s a dead letter until It’s made manifest. And then It’s quickened, and It’s brought to pass, what God said about it. That’s the Gospel in action, the New Testament Christianity.
I’M SO HAPPY TONIGHT,
that ALMIGHTY GOD IN HIS INFINITE MERCY,
and HIS REDEEMING GRACE
SAW FIT ONE TIME
TO SAVE ME and TO GIVE ME THE PRIVILEGE
OF SPEAKING TO HIS PEOPLE.
I LOVE PEOPLE.
I LOVE EVERY ONE,
THE WORLD,
WHETHER THEY’RE
SINNERS
or
CHRISTIANS.
I FEEL THAT IN MY HEART.
EVERY ONE OF US,
JESUS DIED
for ALL OF US.
I SEE MEN SOMETIME OUT ON THE STREET
DRINKING,
and I SEE THEM GAMBLING,
SOME OF THEM
CURSING and SO……
THAT DOESN’T
TURN ME
AGAINST THE PERSON.
IT JUST ONLY
MAKES ME KNOW
that SATAN IS DOING THAT.
THAT’S MY BROTHER.
JUST HURTS ME
to SEE SATAN HAVE HIM
GRIPPED LIKE THAT.
Now, IF I CAN SAY
SOMETHING TO HIM
TO WIN HIM
OVER TO OUR LORD JESUS
WHERE HE CAN HAVE
ETERNAL LIFE,
WHY, HE WILL STOP THAT.
HE IS MY BROTHER.
HE IS JUST FALLEN,
and I LOVE TO HELP HIM UP.
SEE?
And THAT’S TRULY
FROM MY HEART.
