Healer, This is Our God!
1 August, 2008Who believes what we’ve heard and seen? Who would have thought God’s saving power would look like this? The servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look. He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at him and people turned away. We looked down on him, thought he was scum. But the fact is, it was our pains he carried – our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures. But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed. Isaiah 53:1-6 (The Message)
By His strips we are healed.
You hold my every moment
You calm my raging seas
You walk with me through fire
And heal all my disease
I trust in you
I trust in you
I believe
You’re my healer
I believe
You are all i need
I believe
You’re my portion
I believe
You’re more than enough for me
Jesus, you’re all i need
Nothing is impossible for you
Nothing is impossible
Nothing is impossible for you
You hold my world in your hands

No Condemnation
Although your flesh continues to fail you, it still does not change the fact that in Christ Jesus you are His child, and that the only thing that can separate you from God is unconfessed sin.

In Christ, there is no condemnation, period.
There is nothing that can separate us from the love of Father God, not even unconfessed sins. While unconfessed sins will hinder and hamper our relationship with God, it will not default our sonship and standing, for us who already accepted His grace.
This is because Jesus with His finished work on the cross has done it all! Totally and completely, past-present-future. Our relationship with the Father is based solely on the work of His Son, not dependable on our ability to confession of our sins.
For those who are led by the Spirit of God are the children of God. The Spirit you received does not make you slaves, so that you live in fear again; rather, the Spirit you received brought about your adoption to sonship. And by him we cry, “Abba, Father.” The Spirit himself testifies with our spirit that we are God’s children. Romans 8:14-16
We cannot live our lives checking repeatingly for any sin we may commit, knowingly or unknowingly. To do that, we will be living in defeat and slavery to the fear that we may unwittingly default our salvation should we forgot to confess any sins. Our best abilities are like shifting sands and can never be enough, our spiritual life will be like a yo-yo going up and down, in and out of grace should it be used as a qualification.
Instead we should live in victory knowing that the work of Christ on the cross has done it all and our standing with Father God is not dependable on ourselves but rather on the perfection of our lovely Savior, the solid unmovable Rock, Jesus Christ.
Yeah I am from Hillsong church and I just received an e-mail from Pastor stating it was all a lie…
Dear Church,
In the past 24 hours it has been brought to our attention that Michael Guglielmucci’s illness is not what we have been led to believe.
Michael has confirmed that he is not suffering with a terminal illness, he never has, and is now seeking professional help in Adelaide with the support of his family.
This news has come as a great shock to everyone including, it seems, his own wife and family.
We are asking our church to pray for the Guglielmucci family during this difficult time.
God bless,
XXXXX
lol mikes a fraud
Hi guys, thanks for the news. Whatever it is, whether terminal or not, we all can see that the worship is real, and I believe the song written is real and heartfelt.
The fact is that many are lifted in worship is all that matters. Our focus should be on Jesus and Jesus only. And I am sure He is faithful to lead Mike and his family through.
God bless!
No Condemnation

JESUS SAID REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL
I have actually written a post on this, whether unconfessed sin can separate you from God. Please see here:
http://kingdavid.wordpress.com/2008/08/13/confession-or-christ/
All who comes before Jesus must repent and believe, that is the prerequisite. repent (have a change of mind which issues in regret for past sins and in change of conduct for the better) and believe (trust in, rely on, and adhere to) the good news (the Gospel). Mark 1:15 (Amplified Bible)
But for a believer, if unconfessed sin can separate you from God and if it is your constant confession that keeps your name in the Book of Life, then Jesus came in vain. It can’t be right. For those who are in Christ, there is NO condemnation, and there is no sin on you because it was carried on Christ – crucified at the cross.
Those who belong to Christ Jesus have crucified the sinful nature with its passions and desires. Galatians 5:24
(Truly repentant heart given to Jesus Christ can ever save you).
Blessed Assurance
Today there are many leaders in our Churches that have some knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ, but do not have the blessed assurance of the living Christ living in their hearts.
Through one way or another they have heard and accepted the knowledge of God, and their knowledge can be quite outstanding at times but they have not accepted Christ personally as their Lord and Saviour.
Jesus spoke about this type of people in St John 5:39-40. “Search the scriptures: for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. And ye will not come to me that ye might have life.”
Many of these leaders who hold prominent positions in our churches will speak great words of vanity, telling us how to be rich, trying to make us dissatisfied with what we have, yes, teaching great error, they promise freedom but they themselves are servants of corruption.
When they first heard the Word of God they embraced it, and it did clean up their lives, yet, they only embraced the knowledge of Christ, not Christ Himself, by repenting and making Jesus the Lord of their lives.
The scripture says that they will be entangled again and overcome by wickedness, and their end will be worse than their beginning.
“For it had been better for them not to have known the way of righteousness, than after they have known it, to turn from the Holy commandment delivered unto them.” 2 Peter 2:21.
We can tell the difference between those who have a religious spirit {some knowledge of Christ}, or those who have the Spirit of Christ {born again, Spirit filled, Bible believing Christians}.
The easiest way to know the true Christians is in the way that they bare fruit in obeying Christ’s commandments, for the true meaning of the word Christian is a follower of Christ.
One of the biggest, deceiving lies that the devil has ever orchestrated in this world today is that many believe that the knowledge of the scriptures, is enough to save them, when in fact they are only saved by a personal experience of Jesus Christ Himself living, dwelling and reigning within them.
For it is written, “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised Him from the dead thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation.” Romans 10: 9& 10.
You can see from this scripture very plainly that we must not only confess with our mouth the knowledge of God, but we must also believe in our hearts, which makes us true followers of Christ.
That is why even a young child who has learned very little Bible scriptures, but has received Jesus into their heart are saved so wonderfully when they received the truth of the gospel, Jesus said in Matthew 18:3,
“Verily I say unto you, except ye be converted and become as little children, ye shall not enter into the kingdom of heaven.”
We must witness to those who have the knowledge to go all the way by receiving Jesus into their hearts fully, so that they will have the blessed assurance. We see many responding to alter calls, with no change in there lives. but this won’t save them.
We see many raising their hands in services and great meetings, also with no change, but this won’t save them. Yes, it may be a witness of receiving the knowledge,
but, my friend only a truly repentant heart given to Jesus Christ can ever save you. Then you will receive from Him the blessed assurance that Jesus is yours, your Lord, your Saviour, your Redeemer, you’re everything.

Amen!! Know the truth and the truth will set us free.
Amen!! In Christ alone!
For there is one God and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus, who gave himself as a ransom for all men—the testimony given in its proper time. 1 Timothy 2:5-6
For he has rescued us from the dominion of darkness and brought us into the kingdom of the Son he loves, in whom we have redemption, the forgiveness of sins.
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together. And he is the head of the body, the church; he is the beginning and the firstborn from among the dead, so that in everything he might have the supremacy. Colossians 1:13-18
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9
Let the Bible interpret itself. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Yes, let the Bible interpret the Bible!!
So now there is no condemnation for those who belong to Christ Jesus. And because you belong to him, the power of the life-giving Spirit has freed you from the power of sin that leads to death. Romans 8:1-2

Why does the revival tarry? It is because God’s
people tarry to obey the powerful command of
the Lord in Rev. 18:4. This is the most powerful
revival message of the Lord to his people in our time.

As in the days of Lot, it is now. Lot was not interested
to leave Sodom. God sent two angels to rescue him,
and they must persuade him to leave Sodom. When
he yet lingered, one of the angels said to him:
“Flee for your life sake …”
Just like as Lot, God’s people are not interested to
leave the great Babylon, but finally they must flee
for their life from there.

God’s people are destroyed for lack of knowledge
because their preachers have rejected knowledge.
Hosea 4:6-11. Instead to preaching the truth of the
Assembly of God, they have preached lies about the
Assembly of God. The Pentecostalists have abused
the expression “Assembly of God” and used it as a
name of their church.
