Jesus heals the man with the deformed hand

I have the priviledge to teach Chapel 3 times a week at a private Christian school. This morning the age group I had was k-3rd. This mornings story is "Jesus heals the man with the deformed hand" found in Mark 3:1-6. Here are some thoughts God gave me this morning, the man in the story only had one good hand and that would limit what he could do. Like for example he couldn't make a PB&J sandwitch, or play catch ect.. Then with one touch from Jesus he was healed, but not only that his whole life was transformed! This man didn't have to listen when Jesus said "stretch ou your hand" he could have said listen here man I can't do that! Are you trying to make fun of me? Get lost! But he did what Jesus said and got the blessing. I can picture this man stretching out his hand seeing it get healed right before his very eyes and having tears of joy pour out of his eyes, I can see him clapping and jumping for joy, and giving Jesus a big hug and saying thank you Lord. I asked the kids what this man could do now that Jesus healed him. Here are some of there responses "he could tie his shoes" he can play catch" "he could dress himself" that's a good one think about how hard it would be to get dressed with one arm. My favorite response came from my daughter she said "he could have his coffee hand back" It's imoprtant to have a coffee hand LOL!

Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. So that means He can touch and heal you physically but also spiritually. D o you have any aches and pains, or bitterness? Let Jesus touch you today and you'll never be the same! He's only a prayer away!

God belss you all!

When God Ran

I am going to speak to the youth at my church the story of the Prodigal Son and I remembered this song from way back when, it's very powerful thank you Jesus for running to me!

An awesome Quote!

   


But has the whole Church ever, since the days before Pentecost, put aside every other work and waited for Him for ten days, that power might be manifested? Has there not been a source of failure here? We have given too much attention to methods and to machinery and to resourses, and too little to the Source of Power--- the filling with the Holy Ghost

Cry for holiness

 

I just read recently about how the Church thinks that we need to bring sex into it. The article is here. Now while I believe sex is a God given gift reserved for married people only, I think we are focusing on the wrong thing. HOLINESS is a word that we as Christians need to here more than ever. We need to long for holiness, beg for holiness, and even cry for holiness. A lot of Christians will tell you that you are becoming legalistic when you start raising your standards on movies, music, etc.. in the pursuit of holiness after all they say God is a God of grace. Speaking of this so called grace they think that our God who is holy and righteous has some how lowered His standard on sin. I believe this is a lie from the pit of hell. If sin were to enter into  God's presence He would immediately destroy it by His holiness. You see holiness burns sin out of us, and instead of making us self righteous true holiness makes us look at how vile we really are 
Jeremiah 17:9 "The heart is more deceitful than all else And is desperately sick; Who can understand it?" In the book of Isaiah at chapter 35 verse 8 it says A highway will be there, a roadway, And it will be called the Highway of Holiness. The unclean will not travel on it, But it will be for him who walks that way, And fools will not wander on it. Let's all start walking on this highway of holiness and continue till we see Him in glory.

A beautiful song from a guy with a beautiful beard! Let me feel you shine Jesus

 

Loving everyone, no matter who they are

I just listened to this and was blessed by it, basically it's about how we as Christians judge other Christians that are not in our denomination or group, instead of loving them like Jesus. Check it out!
