Do You Need A Healing?
2 Chronicles 7:12-22
12 And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, I have heard thy prayer, and have chosen this place to myself for an house of sacrifice.
13 If I shut up heaven that there be no rain, or if I command the locusts to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people;
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
17 And as for thee, if thou wilt walk before me, as David thy father walked, and do according to all that I have commanded thee, and shalt observe my statutes and my judgments;
18 Then will I stablish the throne of thy kingdom, according as I have covenanted with David thy father, saying, There shall not fail thee a man to be ruler in Israel.
19 But if ye turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments, which I have set before you, and shall go and serve other gods, and worship them;
20 Then will I pluck them up by the roots out of my land which I have given them; and this house, which I have sanctified for my name, will I cast out of my sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations.
21 And this house, which is high, shall be an astonishment to every one that passeth by it; so that he shall say, Why hath the LORD done thus unto this land, and unto this house?
22 And it shall be answered, Because they forsook the LORD God of their fathers, which brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, and laid hold on other gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore hath he brought all this evil upon them.
I have entitled this today, “Do You Need A Healing?”
Whenever we, as Christians, seek God and the things of Him, He will show up in the situations that we go through.
The Lord not only answered Solomon’s prayer by a manifestation of the fire falling from Heaven, but He also portrayed what He will do as it regards to Solomon’s petition.
The Lord, here, referred to the Temple as a house of sacrifice, the message to the modern church ought to be the same.
There has to be that message of Christ who sacrificed His life that we might be able to live.
Sin among the people has always brought about consequences, “for the wages of sin is death but thank God that the gift of God is life through Jesus Christ our Lord”.
In verse 13, the Lord says to Solomon, “if I shut up Heaven and there be no rain, or if I command locust to devour the land, or if I send pestilence among my people”.
Look at 2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
If believers will humble themselves and pray and seek my face, which is the prayer of repentance, and turn from their wicked ways which proclaims true repentance.
Mathew 7:7-11
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
If we learn to ask, the Word says that it will be given you, seek and you will find, knock and it will be opened to you.
What we need to understand is that Jesus is standing at our door, waiting for us to seek His face in the situation that we are going through.
God was telling Solomon that if true repentance came, their sin would be forgiven and God would heal their land.
2 Chronicle 7:15-16
15 Now mine eyes shall be open, and mine ears attent unto the prayer that is made in this place.
16 For now have I chosen and sanctified this house, that my name may be there for ever: and mine eyes and mine heart shall be there perpetually.
Due to what Christ did at the cross, The Lord no longer resides in a building, but in the hearts and lives of believers.
Don’t get me wrong, there is still something special about the Sanctuary; A sanctuary is a place where believers gather together and worship the Lord.
A sanctuary is a place of separation from the world that we can go to as believers and God will show up.
There is something special when we call out the Name of Jesus.
I have entitled this today:
“Do You Need A Healing?”
Here is the reason why:
Dream 11-7-08
I dreamed that I was in a boxing match with a colored guy. It looked like I didn’t have a chance to win. I got into the ring and I did really well. The match was now done. A man walked up to both of us and told us both that it was really a great match. He gave us both tickets to go and see Binny Hinn who was going to be going there. I was going to get Susan a ticket also.
Interpretation
We have our first African American president.
Whether you like it or not, he is still the President of the United States of America.
We have whites vs. Blacks, we are all Americans so we need to come together and pray for our country.
We are in a battle but it is not the whites and the blacks, it is the battle of God vs. Satan.
Ephesians 6:10-18
10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might.
11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil.
12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness;
15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace;
16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked.
17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God:
18 Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;
This battle that we are in is not one race against another but it is against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places.
If you’re prejudiced, this morning, you need to take a look at where you are with God.
Ephesians 6:13
13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Are we putting on the whole armor of God that we will be able to withstand in the evil day?
In the dream a guy came up to both of us and gaves us both a ticket to see Binny Hinn.
We need healing, or maybe we need a Miracle within America.
I don’t care if you’re red, yellow, black or white or even green, we are all the children of God. Remember the childrens’ song, Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. So we, as a country, need to get over it.
2 Chronicles 7:14
14 If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.
We need to humble ourselves and pray and seek God’s face in what is going to happen in our Country.
The last time I checked God is still on the Throne.
God really is in control of what is going on in our world.
I don’t know if we all realize this, but we are all running in a race. It does not matter what color our skin is. We are running and we can all be winners.
Mathew 7:7-11
7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?
Are we asking, seeking and maybe even knocking on Jesus’ door?
DREAM 2-3-2005
I dreamed Jesus was getting ready to come in the air, I could even see Him preparing behind the clouds. I knew at that moment in time, what we were living in was grace.
Jesus is getting ready to come, I saw Him behind the clouds preparing.
The Word of God teaches us He’s coming with the clouds, In the dream I knew we were living in grace.
We need to tell people Jesus is coming back, God hasn’t changed His mind.
I really believe we’re living in the final minutes of time.
Tell people to get their house in order.
John 15:14-15
14 Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you.
15 Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you.
Closing:
Do you need a healing?
How about a Spiritual healing?
Let us turn away from our wicked ways.
Who are you a friend of today?
If we’re a friend, then we need to warn people what His Word says to do!
Jesus is coming soon!
Sing song “Jesus is Coming Soon”!
