GOD WANTS YOU TO BE WHOLE

 He stretched out His hand and touched him, saying, "I am willing; be cleansed." And immediately the leprosy left him. Luke 5:13


For some people, whenever they ask God to deliver them from afflictions and heal them, doubts and worries come into their minds. That's why God has frequently reminded us in His Word to be strong and have faith.

We see this in the story of the leper who met Jesus in the book of Luke 5:12: "While He was in one of the towns, a man came along who was covered with leprosy. When he saw Jesus, he fell with his face to the ground and begged Him, 'Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.'"

You'll notice that this leper was uncertain if Jesus wanted to heal him. He also didn't know if he deserved to be healed. He had no doubts about Jesus' ability to heal; he fully believed Jesus could heal him. His question was, "Does Jesus want to heal me?"

This is a problem for many people even today. Due to our weaknesses, we often feel unworthy before God. You may pray earnestly, but when you look at yourself, you have doubts about your own worthiness and whether you deserve what you are asking for. This was the state of the leper, which is why he said to Jesus, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean." Now, do not sabotage or reject yourself before God. The Word of God says:

"For we do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need." Hebrews 4:15-16"

I assure you, by the Word of God, Jesus Christ wants you to be whole. He wants you to be healed, to be free, to succeed in your work, and to live a life of joy and peace. And this morning, Jesus Christ is saying, "I am willing; to be cleansed."

Prayer: Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your love and mercy towards me. I entrust all my needs to You. I know You want to heal me. I ask You to heal me and cleanse me completely. Amen.

THE WISEST THING TO DO IN YOUR LIFE

  Daniel 12:3 (GNT) says, “The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever.” This verse speaks about the reward God will give His faithful people on the last day. Those who live with wisdom and lead others to righteousness will shine like stars in the sky—forever. What a powerful promise! Today, I want to teach you how to be wise so you can receive this reward. The Bible says in James 1:5 (NKJV), “If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God...”  This means wisdom comes from God, and He is willing to give it to anyone who asks. When you receive God’s wisdom, you will learn how to live the right way and make decisions that please Him. You will also have the power to guide others. The wisest thing you can ever do in life is to preach the Gospel—to help people turn away from sin and accept Jesus Christ. That is the kind of wisdom that brings eternal rewards. Also, if you ...

MISPLACED FEAR

Matthew 10:28  (NKJV) says: “And do not fear those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul. But rather fear Him who is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.”   This is a direct call from Jesus to correct our fears. Many people fear human threats, sickness, poverty, storms, or death. Yet Jesus reminds us that these things can only touch the body. The true danger is sin, because it separates us from God and leads to eternal destruction. The only fear that matters is the fear of God, for He alone holds the destiny of both the body and soul. One day I was in a garage fixing my car. It was an open space and suddenly it began raining heavily. All the mechanics rushed to take shelter inside. As we stood, they began sharing jokes, laughing about drinking and the women they slept with. I always preach to them, telling them to repent and receive Jesus. But they laughed it off. As we were standing there inside, suddenly the storm grew stronger, with thunder and lightning flashin...
