The Online Program of KPPI (Praise and Divine Healing Service) took place on Monday, March 1, 2021, through the Live Streaming program which can be watched through Facebook, YouTube, and Instagram. The Word of God was delivered by Rev. Jacob B. Sumbayak, taken from Matthew 17: 14-20 about Jesus healing a young man with epilepsy.
Nothing is Impossible for God and for the Believers
This epileptic young man was possessed by a demon, and the demon often dragged him into fire and water to kill him. This child was brought to Jesus’ disciples but they could not heal him. Jesus rebuked His disciples and called them the faithless generation. Jesus rebuked him, the demon went out of him, and the boy was cured from that very hour.
Jesus wanted to teach His disciples to have faith, even faith that is as small as a mustard seed can move a mountain, and can easily cast out a demon.
Mark 9:23, Jesus answered, “You say: if You can? Nothing is impossible for the believer!”
Jesus teaches us to always believe, because if we believe and have faith, then nothing is impossible for the believer. It does not take long to believe. If we say that we do not believe, then in fact we have a choice whether we want to believe or not.
If at this time we feel we do not believe then let us choose to believe in God. Because if we have only a little faith to believe, then the mountains can move, moreover, our problems and diseases, the miracles will surely happen.
Believe in Jesus, You Will Not Perish but You Will Have Eternal Life
John 3:16, For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
Jesus came into the world as a human so that we could see God’s love, glory, and patience. We can see God through Jesus so that we can believe in Him. He came from heaven and came down to earth so that whoever believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
Choose to believe in Jesus. When we believe in Him, in accordance with the Word of God, then nothing is impossible for the believer. Maybe right now you are struggling, “Who can forgive my sins?” You feel you have done good deeds but you realize that those cannot forgive your sins. True, only Jesus can forgive our sins. Even though our sins are great, we are always bound and entangled in sin and we begin to feel depressed, wonder who can release us.
Jesus gave Himself to die on the cross, with His life, Jesus paid all our debts and sins.
John 10: 17-18, “The Father loves Me, because I gave My life to receive it. No one takes it from Me, but I give it to Myself. I have power to give it and to take it back. This is the task I have received from My Father. ”
No one can take the life of Jesus, but He is willing to give His life because He knows only He can pay for our sins. That is God’s love for us. It is not us who pay for our sins but Him who pays for us.
Isaiah 1:18, Come on, let’s get things right! –said the LORD – Though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool.
Jesus pays the price, not with His property, but he pays with His life, He is a loving God. If we believe, He pays for our sins and His blood removes our sins then we will rejoice. Today is the day God has set for us to choose to believe, and our sins are forgiven.
His Blood Saves and Heals Us
Isaiah 53:5, But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed.
This is what Jesus did 2000 years ago. He was stabbed and crushed to bear our sins and His death gave us life, eternal life. Believe in Jesus and we will receive salvation.
The greatest miracle is even greater than the healing of the sick, that is when we are saved. Because it is Jesus who will lead us to the Kingdom of Heaven.
And for those of us who are sick, have faith, not so much, but just believe. Jesus was tortured and even flogged, Jesus suffered tortures and even His body was scarred, so that with His stripes we could be healed.
Believe that God will heal us today. Lord Jesus can heal any sickness.
Hebrews 13: 8.
Jesus Christ remains the same, both yesterday and today and forever.
If we want to be healed then choose to believe because His power remains the same, He is willing to heal us, He is willing to cast out the powers of darkness. He has performed many miracles and even now He is able to heal us. Believe and trust in the Word of God then be it in accordance with our faith.
Lay your hands on the sick part of the body and raise a prayer. Believe that the power of healing is working now and we will see miracles and gifts from God. [rs/hn/em]
