Healing # 4

          According to this scripture we have a right to ask the Father for healing, in the name of Jesus, & to receive it. If we believe God's Word we can ask, in Jesus' name, & receive what we ask for.

          I. (1JOHN 5:14) says that “if we ask any thing according to his will”. From studying healing so far, we found out that healing for all is God's will.

                   A. If you're suffering from sickness, you have a right to ask the Father for healing.

                             1. MARK 11:24  Notice it says, “when you pray”.

                                      a. ? How are we supposed to pray?

                                      b. Jesus said, to the Father in my name.

                                      c. We pray to the Father in the name of Jesus.

                             2. There is power in the name of Jesus. PHIL 2:9‑10

                                      a. In “heaven” are the angels, In “earth” are men, & “things under the earth” are demons.

                                      b. All must bow to the Name of Jesus.

                             3. Smith Wigglesworth tells of ministering to a man who was dying from T B. He said all they did was to repeat over & over the Name of Jesus. The glory of God filled that room & the man was healed, perfectly whole.

                             4. Look with me to ACTS 3: 1-6

                                      a. Notice Peter said, “In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.” (KJV)

                                      b. There's healing in the name of Jesus.

                             5. Paul said to a demon in (ACT 16:18) I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out.

                                      a. There's deliverance in the name of Jesus.

                   B. Jesus left his name with us. We have the right to use it. Satan is commanded to respect that Name which is above every name, & his entire kingdom is compelled to obey our command when given in the Name of Jesus.

                             1. Of course as long as it's in line with the will of God.

                             2. In (LUKE 10:17) the disciples said, “Even the devils are subject unto us through thy name.” (KJV)

                             3. It was Jesus who conquered sin, Satan, disease, death, hell, & the grave; & we have a legal right to use that name.

                             4. ACTS 2:38

                                      a. There's salvation in the Name of Jesus.

                                      b. The possibilities involved in the name of Jesus are beyond our understanding.

                                      c. When Jesus said, “Whatsoever ye ask the Father in My Name,” He was giving us a signed check on the resources of heaven.

                             5. If you need healing, begin to study on the resources of Jesus, so that you can receive what is in the name of Jesus.

                                      a. There's healing in the Name, there's deliverance in the Name, there's safety in the Name, there's prosperity in the Name, there's power in the Name.

                                      b. In (MATT 28:18) it says, “And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.”

                                                i. That word “Power” there is the Greek word “exousia” which means “authority, jurisdiction.”

                                                ii. Some say, “Oh, that doesn't mean Power?”

                                                iii. But it means more than that. The person that has the authority or the jurisdiction, has the legal right to use the power. .....

                                                iv. Look at MARK 16:15-18

                                                          a. Jesus has given us His Name to use.

                                      b. According to (JOHN 15:16) Jesus is saying, “If you ask the Father in My Name, I will endorse that petition, & the Father will give you anything I have endorsed.”

          II. JOHN 11:41 (This is talking about Lazarus)

                   A. We know that the Father always hears Jesus, & when we pray in Jesus' Name, it's as though Jesus himself were doing the praying.

                             1. If you need healing, you can ask the Father for it, in Jesus' Name, believe that He hears you, & you will find your sickness leave.

                                      a. WHY?

                             2. 1JOHN 5:14‑15

                                      a. It's yours. You have a right to it.

                                      b. Ask him for it & receive your health, in the Name of Jesus.

                             c. (JOH 16:23‑24) Says, And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give {it} you. (24) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full. (KJV)

                             3. If you need healing, you can ask the Father for it, in the Name of Jesus, & you shall receive your healing, & your joy will be full.

                                      a. Peter took Jesus at His Word, & said to the lame man, In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up & walk.

                                      b. THAT NAME HAS NEVER LOST ITS POWER.

                   B. People are saved through that NAME. (ACT 4:12) Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved. (KJV)

                             1. You can pray & make your petitions to the Father in that NAME.

                             2. In that NAME the lame, impotent, & helpless were healed & made to walk again.

                             3. Jesus said, (MAR 16:17) In my NAME shall they cast out devils.

                                      a. Paul proved that, Paul said to an evil spirit, (ACT 16:18) I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her. And he came out the same hour. (KJV)

                   C. What power that NAME has for the Church.

                             1. According to (COL 3:17), we're taught: Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, {do} all in the name of the Lord Jesus.

                             2. In (EPH 5:20) we're taught that we should always be giving thanks for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ; (KJV)

                             3. In (HEB 13:15) we're told to offer the sacrifice of praise to his name.  (KJV)

                             4. In (JAMES 5:14) We're instructed to anoint the sick with oil in the name of the Lord: (KJV)

                             5. In (1JOHN 3:23) We're informed: This is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ.

                             6. THE NAME of JESUS touches every phase of the Christian life.
