Saturday Healing Service Unity Fest

Tonight I we are going to do a healing service. I believe God is in the healing business.

Isaiah 53:5 says by His stripes we are healed.

2 Peter 2 says by His stripes we were healed.

So the Healing power of Christ fell came to life somewhere in between Isaiah and 2 Peter. Either way I know my God still heals today. A few weeks ago I was amazed to see God heal breast cancer with a prayer less than 5 seconds long. In India we saw over 300 miracles with a paralytic man walking Pain free. At Augusta Church we see miracles often with one of them being a healing of fibromyalgia and lupus. We serve a God who heals.

Like I said we are going to dive into healing, but first we are going to enter a time of praise. I believe our praise is our weapon. Praise brings in the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. We see this all over scripture.

In Acts 16 Paul and Silas are in prison and their praise not only breaks open prison doors it ushers in the salvation of the soldier and their family.

God desires to heal you. How do I know this? Because that’s what Jesus’ ministry was.

Matthew 4 states that Jesus went everywhere teaching in the synagogues, preaching the Good news and HEALING EVERYONE.

But Pastor Sean what about Jesus’ home town. He couldn’t heal anyone. He did a few miracles in his home town the issue wasn’t Jesus’ lack of power. You see the church believes that somehow some where unbelief is Jesus’ kryptonite. It wasn’t unbelief that stopped him. It was that no one was brought to Him in his home town. He had no one to heal. It’s not that he wouldn’t or that he couldn’t. They just weren’t presented.

Matthew 15 states that vast crowd brought to him people who were lame blind crippled, and those who couldn’t speak. they LAID THEM BEFORE JESUS, and He healed them ALL.

Everyone one of them. It would be presumptuous to think that no one, not a single on of them had doubts

But the reason we are going to praise first comes from:

Isaiah 42:10–13 ESV

10 Sing to the Lord a new song, his praise from the end of the earth, you who go down to the sea, and all that fills it, the coastlands and their inhabitants. 11 Let the desert and its cities lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar inhabits; let the habitants of Sela sing for joy, let them shout from the top of the mountains. 12 Let them give glory to the Lord, and declare his praise in the coastlands. 13 The Lord goes out like a mighty man, like a man of war he stirs up his zeal; he cries out, he shouts aloud, he shows himself mighty against his foes.

Here’s the idea: While you worship, while you celebrate, while you jump, dance, and sing before the Lord God is taking it upon Himself to go out destroy your enemies. This happens when God is enthroned in our praises.

I don’t know what church you are coming from or if you have ever been in a church, but in my church we encourage jumping, dancing, shouting, clapping.

2 Samuel 6 tells us that David dance with all his might, shouting
