And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:12-14, KJV. GOD'S HEALING TRAIL IN THE BIBLE Gen. 3 Gen. 12:1-3 Gen. 22:11-19 Ezekial 47 John 4, John 7 John 15:1-9 Eph. 1:15:23 Eph. 3:14-21 Eph. 5:18-6:9 Rev. 22:1-5 WE BRING HEALING BY FOLLOWING JESUS “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. And whatsoever ye shall ask in my name, that will I do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If ye shall ask any thing in my name, I will do it.” John 14:12-14, KJV. As He is, so are we. 1 John 4:17, Walk as He walked. 1 Jn. 2:6 As the Father sent Jesus, so He has sent us. John 20:21-23, KJV. We have the same calling as Jesus We need the Holy Spirit to accomplish it. We must release forgiveness rather than judgement. “Now ye are the body of Christ, and members in particular.” 1 Corinthians 12:27 YOUR MINISTRY STARTS AT HOME Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and into all the world. Acts 1:8 Where you live, where you work, where you shop, where you play. Jerusalem is your hometown. You have a ministry in your hometown. Sometimes that is the most difficult place to minister. And your ministry may not be as effective there as in other places, but nonetheless it is your calling. “But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country…” Mark 6:4-6 Jesus’ ministry was not as effective in His hometown, nevertheless He continued to minister and to teach God’s Word, so faith might arise. Remember in ministering to people, their first reaction is not the end of the story. Continue to be faithful to live the life before them and to teach God’s Word. Return to your own house and tell what great things the Lord has done. Luke 8:39 Practice the love of God in your own home. Ephesians 5:22-6:4 COMPASSION IS THE HEARTBEAT OF MINISTRY “When he saw the multitudes, he was moved with compassion,…” Matthew 9:35-38 Jesus was moved by compassion. This is the heartbeat of true ministry, to have compassion on people, in your home, in your church, in your community, in your home. REDEMPTION STARTS WITH PRAYER. Your kingdom come. Your will be done. Matthew 6:9-15 Thy Kingdom come, thy will be done… In me In my family In my church In my community In my nation In the world WE ARE CALLED TO RECONCILE PEOPLE TO GOD
