The Gospel Is In Power

Greetings in the name of Jesus! This is Rob Haymes. This is 15 Minutes With Jesus. Wherever two or three are gathered together in My name, Jesus said, there am I in the midst of them. To those of you who love Him in truth: mercy unto you and peace and love be multiplied. (Jude 1:2)

Thank you Heavenly Father. We thank you for this day; we bless your holy name. Praise you Father; thank you Father. Today’s program is called, The Gospel Is In Power. Let’s turn to Mat 13:58, Now He did not do many mighty works there because of their unbelief. Isa 53:1, Who has believed our report? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been revealed? For He shall grow up before Him as a tender plant, and as a root out of dry ground. He has no form or comeliness; and when we see Him, there is no beauty that we should desire Him. He is despised and rejected by men, a Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. Surely He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Surely He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains, yet we did esteem Him stricken, smitten by God and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgression; He was bruised for our iniquities. The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed. Verse 1, Who has believed our report?

This is the truth! The Word of God is the truth. Jesus took our sicknesses and our pains upon His own body on the Cross. And by His stripes we are healed. His stripes were for our healing. We are healed. Why then are we sick? Why are we in pain? It is because of our unbelief. We must acknowledge this and repent of our unbelief and believe the Word of God; believe the Gospel; believe the report! Pray believing and be healed. No doubting. James 5:14, Is anyone among you sick? 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 will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. James 1:6, But let him ask in faith, with no doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways. 

Sin can be the cause of sickness. Jesus told the man whom He healed, at the pool of Bethesda, “Sin no more unless a worse thing come upon you.” As we humble ourselves before the Father and repent of our unbelief, we should ask Him to show us any other sin in our lives, and when He does, repent and be cleansed and make it right with any other person in our life to whom we are indebted. 

When Jesus sent out the Twelve Apostles, He told them, “Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils. Freely you have received; freely give.” When God is moving and people are getting healed and delivered, and the ministers begin to go after the money, the move of God will stop. Jesus said, “Freely you have received; freely give.” Remember, when Jesus cleansed the Temple, Mat 21:12, Then Jesus went into the temple of God and drove out all those who bought and sold in the temple, and overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves. And He said to them, "It is written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer’, but you have made it a den of thieves.” God will not confirm the work of thieves: ravenous wolves in sheep’s clothing. 

Also: He shall bear the glory. Zec 6:12, Then speak to him, saying, 'Thus says the Lord of hosts, saying: "Behold, the Man whose name is the Branch! From His place He shall branch out, and He shall build the temple of the Lord; yes, He shall build the temple of the Lord. He shall bear the glory, and shall sit and rule on His throne; so He shall be a priest on His throne, and the counsel of peace shall be between them both." ' Thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory. The glory belongs to God alone! When the ministers go after the glory, and start to take it upon themselves, they cannot bear it, and they will fall. The glory belongs to Jesus; God has given it to Him alone, because He alone humbled Himself to the death of the Cross, and He alone bare our sins and our sicknesses and our pains upon it. He alone is worthy! 1 Pet 4:11, If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen. 

Mark 11:22, So Jesus answered and said to them, "Have faith in God. For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, 'Be removed and be cast into the sea,' and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that those things he says will be done, he will have whatever he says. Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them. And whenever you stand praying, if you have anything against anyone, forgive him, that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses. But if you do not forgive, neither will your Father in heaven forgive your trespasses." Jesus clearly stated, “Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that you receive them, and you will have them.” These things are given to us through the work of the Cross: through Jesus’ sacrifice and resurrection. Surely He has borne our sicknesses and carried our pains. We must believe the report, and we must forgive, if we have anything against anyone. Otherwise your Father in Heaven will not forgive you, and you are guilty of sin and cannot receive the blessing. 

Rom 10:13, For whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved. How then shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed? (You cannot call on Jesus in unbelief; He won’t answer). And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach unless they are sent? As it is written: How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the Gospel of Peace, who bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the Gospel. For Isaiah says, Lord, who has believed our report? So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it. Jesus said, John 14:12, “Whatever you ask in My name, that I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask anything in My name, I will do it.” It must be that the Father may be glorified in the Son. He who seeks the glory of the one who sent him is true and no unrighteousness is in him. John 7:18, He who speaks from himself seeks his own glory… If in your heart you are seeking your own glory, or if you ask to consume it upon your lusts, the Father will not answer; He will not give you what you ask for. Your heart must be right: confess your fault and humble yourself before Him and He will grant you His grace. 

1 Cor 4:19, But I will come to you shortly, if the Lord wills, and I will know, not the word of those who are puffed up, but the power. For the kingdom of God is not in word but in power. 1 Cor 2:1, And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. And my speech and my preaching were not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power, that your faith should not be in the wisdom of men but in the power of God. Rom 1:15, So, as much as is in me, I am ready to preach the Gospel to you who are in Rome also. For I am not ashamed of the Gospel of Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation for everyone who believes, for the Jew first and also for the Greek. Eph 1:15, Therefore I also, after I heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, do not cease to give thanks for you, making mention of you in my prayers: that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give to you the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, the eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that you may know what is the hope of His calling, what are the riches of the glory of His inheritance in the saints, and what is the exceeding greatness of His power toward us who believe, according to the working of His mighty power which He worked in Christ when He raised Him from the dead and seated Him at His right hand in the heavenly places, far above all principality and power and might and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this age but also in that which is to come.  And He put all things under His feet, and gave Him to be head over all things to the church, which is His body, the fullness of Him who fills all in all. 

1 Cor 13:1, Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I have become sounding brass or a clanging cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, but have not love, it profits me nothing. It must be in love. God so loved us that He gave His only begotten Son. Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. God so loved us that He healed us; God so loved us that He delivered us; God so loved us that He forgave us our sins; God so loved us that He gave us eternal life. The Gospel is in power; the Gospel is in love. 

Interpretation of a message in tongues:

I am God Almighty. I am with you as you believe My Gospel; as you believe the report, you will see the manifestation; you will see the results; you will receive your healing; you will receive your blessing. Obey My voice: believe the Gospel and you will see My salvation, says the Lord.
