God does heal; He is merciful and can heal injury as well as sickness.

• Read: Does God Heal Today?

Man cannot heal and what he has to offer is of little or no value and is DECREASING in value day by day.

God is real - He does heal!

Divine Healing: A supernatural intervention by God to reverse illness or injury

Healing can also be forgivness of sin (Matt 9:1-6). Healing was often done on the Sabbath day.

• Christ has authority over all sickness and injury!

It takes God's power and mercy to forgive sin.

Psalm 103:1-5, v.11-14

King Asa

2 Chron 14:1-13 v. 11 <-- key verse. Our battles are really God's battles.

• God is not limited
• Going in God's name, by His authority
• The battle is God's, not ours
• The solution is God's problem

2 Chron 15:1-19 v. 2 <-- key verse

If people see that God is with us, what will be the result? v. 9

It has to do with how we conduct our lives. v. 12

We must pray with our might. v. 14-15 When fasting, the more prayer the better - 5 hours of prayer is very good and productive.

2 Chron 16:1-12 Asa stopped seeking God and the result was catastrophic. We must ALWAYS seek God first. v.9 <-- key verse.

James 4:6-10 God's promises never fail - theyare absolute!

When we have God with us we are impossible to defeat!

2 Kings 1:1-4 Baal-Zebub = fly god and thus dung god (magic potients were concocted by pagan priests influenced or possessed by demons)

Matt 12:24

Is there no God in Israel that we should go somewhere else for healing?

• Apostles were ear marked for suffering
• God is not limited
• God is not against physicians and medicine (Matt 9:12) (Col 4:14)
• We must be balanced and not go to extremes and be on guard for mysticism

We are to be like Christ and humble ourselves (Phil 2:5-8)

Yield to Club Kenosis

Psalm 103 - James 4 - Repent, Obey and Seek God! Trust God!
