Open Heaven 15 June 2019 – Jesus Still Heals written by Pastor E. A. Adeboye
TOPIC: Jesus Still Heals
MEMORISE:
“And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.” – (Acts 3:8).
READ: John 9:1-7 (KJV)
1. And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth.
2. And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?
3. Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents; but that the works of God should be made manifest in him.
4. I must work the works of him that sent me, while it is day; the night cometh, when no man can work.
5. As long as I am in the world, I am the light of the world.
6. When he had thus spoken, he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay,
7. And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing.
8. The neighbours therefore, and they which before had seen him that he was blind, said, Is not this he that sat and begged?
9. Some said, This is he; others said, He is like him; but he said, I am he.
Open Heaven 15 June 2019 – MESSAGE:
Healing in the restoration of the body, mind or spirit to a state of wholeness and wellbeing. This restoration may be physical, as in recovering from an illness or injury, or spiritual, as in the forgiveness of sins and justification before God. Ultimately, healing is embodied by Jesus Christ, who is the Great Healer. He healed different sicknesses during His earthly ministry, and secured the ultimate healing for all through His death on the cross and subsequent resurrection.
Although most healings experienced in the Bible when instantaneous, God sometimes heals slowly or gradually over a period of time. In such cases, there is visible steady progress toward full health. Even if a person’s healing is gradual, it is still God who does the healing, and He should be giving the glory.
Nevertheless, God still carries out instantaneous healing today. Most Christians today should have heard or witnessed at least one story of how God healed a person at once. Although some don’t believe this is possible, I am happy to announce to you that by the grace of God, instantaneous healings occur daily in The Redeemed Christian Church of God.
We have witnessed numerous testimonies of how God instantly healed people of different sickness and diseases, ranging from simple bacterial infections to reproductive aliments, mental and psychological problems, life threatening sickness and terminal diseases. We have even witnessed several cases of dead being raised back to life and several other seemingly impossible miracles in many of our parishes around the world.

Praise God! We are experiencing these great healings because we believe in the power of the Almighty God to perform miracles, signs and wonders today. We are driven by faith in His word in Hebrews 13:18, which says:
“Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever”.
We believe that what Jesus Christ did when He was physically here on earth, He is still able to do today. Indeed, God has the capacity to heal everyone whom comes to Him for healing, and He is also able to heal them completely.
Testifying to this, Matthew 8:16 says: “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:”
Divine healing is the inheritance of every child of God, and it is freely accessed by faith. The Bible said it all in Isaiah 53:5 – Jesus was wounded for the sins that brings sickness, He was bruised for the iniquities that cause disease, and He wore the chastisement of our peace like a garment so that by His stripes, everyone who believes automatically receives their healings. Hallelujah!
PRAYER POINT:
Father, please heal me completely and make an agent of Your healing power, in Jesus’ Name.
BIBLE IN ONE YEAR:

HYMNAL:
Hymn 7 – My hope is built on nothing less
1. My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus name.
CHORUS:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand;
All other ground is sinking sand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
2. When darkness seems to veil His face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In every high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.
3. His oath, His covenant, and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
He then is all my hope and stay.
4. When He shall come with trumpet sound,
Oh, may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
