Leaving Behind Bandages or Wounds.
Leaving Behind Bandages or Wounds.
Jesus in 3.5 years of his Bible ministry
restored sight to the blind
healed the nobleman's son
put a ear back on that was cut off by the sword of Peter
healed the deaf
healed Peters mother in law
healed the centurions servant
healed the withered hand of the man in the synagogue
cleaned the ;leper
healed the woman with the issue of blood.
however i believe the greatest of all the physical acts was not listed independently but as a group.
But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;
King James Version Chapter 19
Matthew 19:2
2 And great multitudes followed him; and he healed them there.
He left bandages, cruthes, walkers, wheelchairs, pacemakers, iv lines amd medicine bottles laying un-needed on the ground.
John 14:12
John 14:12
12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.
The church today has no bandages, crutches, walkers, wheelchairs, pacemakers, iv lines and medicine bottles laying UN-needed on the ground.
We have lost the will to believe and see miracles and have developed an attitude of entitlement instead of faith.
Instead of leaving healing in our wake we leave ugliness, hatefulness, open wounds of hate and malice.
No longer do we carry the real and nutritious fruits of the spirit but instead the fake look alike that give the image but no value.
For, brethren, ye have been called unto liberty; only use not liberty for an occasion to the flesh, but by love serve one another. For all the law is fulfilled in one word, even in this; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another. This I say then, Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other: so that ye cannot do the things that ye would. But if ye be led of the Spirit, ye are not under the law. Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, Meekness, temperance: against such there is no law. And they that are Christ’s have crucified the flesh with the affections and lusts. If we live in the Spirit, let us also walk in the Spirit. Let us not be desirous of vain glory, provoking one another, envying one another.
You might say you have truth while having no fruit evidence, I say you have a image that only you believe is truth.
Philippians 2:5

Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:
Philippians 4:8
Philippians 4:8
“Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.”
