  A word of Knowledge:  Easter?  (Re-Post) https://herevruach.blogspot.com/2023/11/easter.html

A word of Wisdom: Risen and Alive! {A Resurrection Day Message) Luke 24:1-7 KJV Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.  [2] And they found the stone rolled away from the sepulchre.  [3] And they entered in, and found not the body of the Lord Jesus.  [4] And it came to pass, as they were much perplexed thereabout, behold, two men stood by them in shining garments:  [5] And as they were afraid, and bowed down their faces to the earth, they said unto them, Why seek ye the living among the dead?  [6] He is not here, but is risen: remember how he spake unto you when he was yet in Galilee,  [7] Saying, The Son of man must be delivered into the hands of sinful men, and be crucified, and the third day rise again. There! This is the reason why Christianity is so different from any other faith or belief systems. Jesus Christ did not come that you could have a religion.

A word of Wisdom: Traditions of Carnal Men (A Good Friday Message) 1 Corinthians 2:12-15 KJV Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God;  that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.  [13] Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.  [14] But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.  [15] But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. On this Good Friday and the coming Resurrection Day,   The formal rituals you performed and silly costumes you wore for your sacred processions and performances reflects where your heart belongs.  Luke 12:34 KJV For where your treasure is, there will your heart be also. This is of the spirit of the wotld and it is not of the spirit

Divine Healing 13 of 13 By Andrew Murray   Fervent and Effectual Prayer “Pray for one another that ye may be healed.  The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.  Elijah was a man of like passions (or nature] with us and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and it rained, not on the earth for three years and six months.  And he prayed again; and the heaven gave rain, and the earth brought forth her fruit”  (James 5:16—18). James knew that a faith which obtains healing is not the fruit of human nature;  therefore he adds that the prayer must be “fervent.”  Only such can be efficacious.  In this he stands upon the example of Elijah, a man of the same nature (“subject to like passions”) as we are, drawing therefore the inference that our prayer can be and ought to be of the same nature as his.  How then did Elijah pray?  This will throw some light upon what the prayer of faith should be. Elijah had received from God the promise that rain was about to fall upon t

Divine Healing 12 of 13 By Andrew Murray  God’s Prescription for the Sick “Is any sick among you?  Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him,  anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord;  and the prayer of faith shall save the sick,  and the Lord shall raise him up,  and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him”  (James 5:14,15). This text, above all others, is that which most clearly declares to the sick what they have to do in order to be healed.  Sickness and its consequences abound in the world.  What joy, then, for the believer to learn from the Word of God the way of healing for the sick!  The Bible teaches us that it is the will of God to see His children in good health.  The Apostle James has no hesitation in saying that  “the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up.”  May the Lord teach us to hearken and to receive with simplicity what His Word tells us! Notice, first, that James here makes a distinction
