When Jesus had called the twelve together, He gave them power & authority to drive out all demons & to cure diseases, & He sent them out to preach the Kingdom of God & to heal the sick. (Luke 9:1-2). Jesus announced His Kingdom by both preaching & healing. If He had limited Himself to preaching, people might have seen His Kingdom as spiritual only. On the other hand, if He had healed without preaching, people might not have realized the spiritual importance of His mission. Most of His listeners expected a Messiah who would bring wealth & power to their nation; they preferred material benefits to spiritual discernment. The truth about Jesus is that He is both God & man, both spiritual & physical; & the salvation that He offers is both for the soul & body. We must live holy lives. We must be crucified with Christ & live this this short life on earth for Him. We must heal the sick, raise the dead, open up blind eyes, deliver the afflicted & oppressed.  Christianity is about a CHANGED life. It is about DEMONSTRATING the Spirit's power. The Bible says: The Kingdom of God is not a matter of talk, but of power. Any group or teaching that emphasizes soul at the expense of body, or body at the expense of soul, is in danger of distorting  Jesus' Good News. Thank you Jesus. Good morning Holy Spirit. Prayer: Father, today's church is preferring material benefits to spiritual discernment. This is not consistent with the Scriptures. It needs deliverance. I rebuke the spirit behind this situation in the name of Jesus Christ. You spirit, release your hold on the church of God worldwide, in Jesus name. I loose the power of God, the power of deliverance into this situation & set God's people free in Jesus name. I declare in the name of Jesus Christ: You are free. You are delivered, in Jesus name. Father, let revival gather momentum.  In Jesus mighty name we pray & believe, Amen.  Grace & peace be with you.
