Sermon Notes 9/22 – The Mighty Works of God

Matthew 8:1-7

Mark 6:1-6

1. The Greatest Healing Is Salvation – Matthew 8:1-7

-The Problem – the sin nature which is in every human being

-John 1:29-34 – Jesus takes away the SIN of the world

-There is sin (the sin nature is broken at salvation) and sins (symptoms of Sin)

-Examples of the Lord using the supernatural to get people saved

    ***(Matt 9:1-8, 27-31 & 18-26/Matthew 8:1-7)

-Examples of the Lord using His mighty works to save a person and many others

     ***(Acts 3 and 4:4/Acts 5:14-16/Acts 9:32-35 – 2 cities turn to the Lord)

Matthew 12:38-40 – the sign of the prophet Jonah

-never seek a sign – signs and wonders follow believers

-the only sign Jesus will gibe is the gospel – His death, burial and resurrection –  First Corinthians  15:1-3

-The Lord heals today – Mal 3:6 & Hebrews 13:8

Cessation – means to be brought to an end/

-some believers believe some things have ended in the Bible – speaking in tongues and miracles are two examples

-since the mighty acts of God are for today, they should be happening all of the time -Luke 9:1-6

RESIST ALL MIND GAMES – 2 Corinthians 10:4-5

-resist all mind games from the enemy and flesh about the Mighty Works of God in general

-resist all of the mind games of the enemy and flesh that are personal

-talk back to the enemy and flesh……..

       ***The nothing has changed – things are the same scenario…

       ***Do not be a same believer

       ***Receive the LIFE GIVING TOUCH of Jesus every day

Remember: around 40 times in the gospels people wanted healing and Jesus never said no one time

                  : We have promises in the Bible and the Lord says yes to His promises – 2 Corinthians 1:20…Deuteronomy 7:12-16 (v15)…Psalm 89:34-35
