May your troubles be like new years resolutions!

It’s not people who have leaps but lifestyle that shake the world. With leaps you experience a miracle, with lifestyle you experience miracles and become a miracle to someone else.

21/90 rule. it takes 21 days to create a habit and 90 days to create a lifestyle.

Duke University researcher in 2006 found that more than 40 percent of the actions people performed each day weren’t actual decisions, but habits.

All bad habits start slowly and gradually and before you know you have the habit, the habit has you Zig Ziglar

“Bad habits are like comfortable bed, easy to get into, but hard to get out of”

“Habits are like a cable. We weave a strand of it everyday and soon it cannot be broken” Horace Mann

Bible on habits:

“Then Paul, as his custom was, went in to them” Acts 17:2

“Jesus often withdrew into wilderness to pray” Luke 5:16 “As His custom was…to go to Synagogue” Luke 4:16 Prayed 3 times a day as his custom was since early days Daniel 6:10 Continue in the Lord Acts 11:23 Continue in the grace of God Acts 13:43 Continue in faith Acts 11:22 How shall we continue in sin Rom.6:1 Continue in unbelief Rom.11:23 But what I do, I will also continue to do 2 Cor.11:12 Continue earnestly in prayer Col.4:2 Take heed to yourself and doctrine and continue in them in doing this you will save both yourself and those who hear you 1 Tim.4:16 Let brotherly love continue Heb.13:1 Continue to believe on the name of Lord Jesus 1 John 13

Then as He entered a certain village, there met Him ten men who were lepers, who stood afar off. And they lifted up their voices and said, “Jesus, Master, have mercy on us!” So when He saw them, He said to them, “Go, show yourselves to the priests.” And so it was that as they went, they were cleansed. And one of them, when he saw that he was healed, returned, and with a loud voice glorified God, and fell down on his face at His feet, giving Him thanks. And he was a Samaritan. So Jesus answered and said, “Were there not ten cleansed? But where are the nine? Were there not any found who returned to give glory to God except this foreigner?” And He said to him, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Luke 17:11-19

Leprosy mentioned 68 times in Bible. Sin, like leprosy, is ugly, loathsome, incurable, and contaminating; it separates men from God and makes them outcasts. Sin is inside us, deeper than the skin (Leviticus 13:3). Sin also spreads (Leviticus 13:8). Sin always defiles and isolates (Leviticus 13:45-46). Just as leprous garments are fit only for the fire (Leviticus 13:52-57), so those who die clothed in sin will burn forever.

Jesus is the healer of emotional wounds. Healing of broken hearts. Abuse is entry of demons as occult in other nations. Wounds neglected become infected.

They asked for mercy, not an explanation

More suffering the harder it is to do it, more successful we are harder it is to humble ourselves! We demand from the enemy. We command the mountain. We commune with God Our demanding from the enemy, our commanding the circumstances will be as strong as our communion with the Holy Spirit

“Father, give me the portion of goods that falls to me” vs “Make me like one of your servants” Luke 15:12, 19 He knew rights but not the Father. Father will understand your foolishness, but your foolishness not be gracious to you We know our rights, but forget our relationship! Rights flow from relationship

Jesus did not healed them when they prayed, He healed them when they obeyed

There are surgeries and there are cures by prescriptions (Mark 2:17)

Jesus heals when we pray, and when we obey

If He does not cure you, take the prescription

Walk according to commandments Ps 1; in His ways Jos 22:5; uprightly Pr 2:7; after the Spirit Ro 8:1; by faith 2Co 5:7; in love Col 1:10; in Christ Col 2:6; in the light 1Jo 1:7; Like Enoch Ge 5:24; like Noah Ge 6:9

“He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions” Psalm 107:20 “My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health (health, healing, cure, medicine) to all their flesh.” Proverbs 4:20-22 “Tongue of the wise promotes health (marpe)” Proverbs 12:18 “The words that I speak to you they are spirit and they are life” John 6:63 Our Great Physician does not need a pharmacy. He has created His own medicine - one which carries absolutely no negative effects, no expiration date, and no bill at the end of the treatment.

- Medicine is healing agent - Medicine is no respecter of persons - Medicine has to be taken according to direction to be effective - Medicine does not work in the bottle, it only works when it’s in you - It takes time for medicine to work Testimony: 2 teachers from christian schools. 1 - emotionally disturbed/phychotic. 2 - learning disabilities. Every read healing scriptures. End of year, moved from that school. Testimony: Dr. Lillian Yeomans, a medical doctor, had patient with last stages of tuberculosis. She read Deut.28, several days, patient almost dead, no faith, then she read herself, faith exploded, she jumped completely healed.

Testimony: British army in WWII, chronic skin injection of 12 months, Egypt. Army moved to Sudan worse climate, 127 F, it’s worse for his condition. Took his medicine 3 times a day. 35 years since still was healthy.

Power of testimony He cried out, healing of skin, he worshipped, healing of soul (reserved, dignified) We spend to much time comparing instead of sharing out testimony Benefits of Testimony:

It’s worship Builds faith in others (victory over devil) Unlocks more blessings
