Saving Souls

Then with each stripe, Jesus took every disease.  He took it so you wouldn’t have to be sick.  Someone has told you that God made you sick.  That’s a lie!  It makes no sense for God to make you sick and then send Jesus to make you well.  God does not put sickness and disease on His people.

He said, “I am the Lord that healeth thee.”  And Jesus said, “I am the same yesterday, today, and forever.”  And because of what Jesus did on the cross, we have an open door to heaven.  We can repent of our sins.  We can ask God to forgive us and to cleanse us and to forgive us of all sins.

The Bible says if I confess my sins, He is faithful and just to forgive me of my sins and to cleanse me from all unrighteousness.  So when Jesus went to the cross, He provided salvation and He provided healing.

Many have come to Christ in these last two nights, and many more will come to Him tonight.  (Applause)  Many have been healed by the power of God the last few nights, and many more will be healed tonight.  Hallelujah!

Now I want you to make no mistake about it.  The Bible says that Jesus, the Son of God, died on that cross.  He was dead.  He said, “It is finished.”  He said, “Father, into your hands I commit my spirit.”

The Bible says, “He gave up the ghost and died.”  And the soldiers who crucified Him took down His lifeless body.  And they wrapped His body, and they put it in a borrowed grave.  Why a borrowed grave?  He was dead.  Why a borrowed grave?  Why not a permanent grave?  Why a borrowed grave?  Because He only planned to stay in it for three days.  (Applause)

And you say, “What was He doing there for three days?”  He was calling on those righteous men and women who had died in the faith, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, Elijah, Elisha, David, Jeremiah, all of those who had died in the faith.

If it’s your head, touch your head.  If it’s your back, touch your back.  If it’s your feet and legs, touch yourself.  Wherever you hurt, touch yourself.

In the authority of Jesus’ name, I come against that pain.  I come against the sickness and disease.  Now listen to me carefully.  I reach in and I take hold of it and I pull it out now, in the name of Jesus.  For God has given us a name.  It’s the name of Jesus.  It is the most powerful force upon the earth.

And His name is above every name named in heaven and earth.  It’s in that name that I speak tonight.  And I give Him honor and glory.  Jesus is a healing Jesus.  Hallelujah!  Yes, Dr. Cordray.

DR. C: Dr. Roberts, this lady has not been able to see for several years.  Tonight we tested her, she can speak very well.

RR: Can you see?  How long have you been blind?  Twenty years.  Twenty?  Twenty years.

INT: Yes, twenty years.

RR: Can you see now?  Can you see?

INT: Yes, I can see.

RR: Can you see everyone?  Hallelujah!  Yes, David.

DAVID:  He could not walk at all.  He was paralyzed totally on his left side.  Tonight he can walk and move.

RR: Paralyzed.  Paralyzed.  How long have you been paralyzed?

AN: Two years.

RR: Two years paralyzed.  Walk.  Walk.  Walk.  Walk.  (Response)  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  God is a healing God.  Let Niger know, let the people shout it out, God is a healing God.

Lift your hands unto the Lord and say, “God is my healer.  God is my healer.  God is my healer.  God is my healer.”  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!

Yes, David.

DAVID: For five years this little boy had crippled arms.  They were crippled up and twisted like this.  He can move his arms freely tonight.

RR:  Move your arms.  Lift your arms.  Lift them up.  Put them down.  Lift them up.  Put them down.  Lift them up in Jesus’ name.  Hallelujah!  Hallelujah!

His name is above, for God has given Him a name which is above every name named in heaven and earth.  And at that name, every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

When I pray, when I pray tonight, just the moment I’m ready to pray, you need a point of contact.  Your point of contact is when I say, “In Jesus’ name.”  Don’t get your eyes on me.  I’m just a man.  But I’m hooked up to the one who has a name that’s above every name named in heaven and earth.

And when I speak that name tonight, miracles are going to spread through this stadium.  You’re going to feel the touch of God.  And many of you will come forward and walk on this platform and give a testimony.  And it will make the devil mad.  And if he’s mad, I’m glad.  Because I hate the devil.  He’s a thief, and he’s a liar, and he hates us.  And I’m against him.  And he is under my feet.

Stand up on your feet in Jesus’ name.  Lift your hands unto the Lord.  Heavenly Father, not by might, not by power, but by My Spirit, saith the Lord.  It’s not me, it’s You, Jesus.  You have a name.  It’s above every name named in heaven and earth.  And at that name, every knee should bow and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

So tonight I begin this healing prayer by speaking to sickness and disease.  There’s a wave of healing getting ready to come into this place.  In the name of Jesus, I speak to pain in the head.  Oh, it’s leaving now.  It’s leaving now.  Pain is leaving heads now.  Pain in the head, come out, in the name of Jesus.  Let your faith go tonight.

And I noticed that he was bearing down on expectation.  Most Christians, I’m sorry to say, do not expect when they sow.  They give out of obligation, because somebody twisted their arm behind their back.  They say, “Well, you owe it to God,” and it’s arm twisting.

But that’s not the Bible.  No farmer plants seed because somebody twisted his arm.  He plants seed because he needs a harvest.  No farmer would ever go out into a field and expect a harvest without planting seed.  But once he plants seed, he gets excited because he knows there is a natural law that God set in order, that when you sow, you shall reap.

And He said in Malachi 3, “Bring in your tithe and offering and prove me, see if I will not open you the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing where there shall not be room enough to receive it.  And I will rebuke the devourer (the devil) for your sake.”

Yes, satan has a vendetta against you.  And if you didn’t know it, you need to know it tonight.  Satan is against you.  He’s against what you stand for.  He wants to steal from you, kill you, destroy you, wipe out the memory that you were even born.

But God loves you.  He cares about you, and He sent His only begotten Son to give you abundant, everlasting and eternal life.  He wants you to sow.  He wants you to sow first.  He wants you to sow in quality soil, and He wants you to get into expectation.

Ron, we’ve had five beautiful days with our three daughters, 23, 21, and 18, precious daughters.  And it’s so good to have an opportunity to be with them together.

Number two, learn how to be a seed sower.  Life is in the seed.  It is an eternal principle.  God planted a seed, and He planted His best seed.  He didn’t plant an angel.  He planted His Son. 

The Bible says that He loved us so much that He gave His only begotten Son so that whosoever believes in Him would not perish, but have everlasting life. 

Let those with ears hear what I’m saying tonight.  God gave for a reason, a desired result.  When He gave, He had something in mind.  He had a harvest in mind, for He had lost mankind.  There in the Garden of Eden, Adam and Eve committed sin and lost their relationship with God. 

And God said, “I will redeem mankind.  I will give My Son.  I will put Him on a cross.  I will let Him die for the sins of the world.”  And when He gave His Son, He gave His best.  He did not give an angel; He gave His Son. 

And you and I have the right to sow our best unto Him and expect a harvest.  Every time someone gives their heart to Christ, God gets a harvest on the seed that He sowed when He sowed His only begotten Son. 

The Bible speaks of a man named Abraham.  Abraham was Jewish, was a Jew.  We as Christians are grafted in because of the faith of Abraham.  Abraham discovered who God was.  He discovered who God was.  And when you know who God is, you know who you are.

He found out three things about God:  First, God is most high.  Second, the possessor of heaven and earth.  And third, the one who delivered him from all of his enemies.  Say that with me.  Most high, possessor of heaven and earth, deliverer of all of my enemies. 

And when you know who God is, when you know that He is most high, when you know that He is the possessor of heaven and earth, when you know that He’s the one who delivers you from all of your enemies, then you know who He is and you know who you are. 

And when Abraham learned that, he wanted to give unto God.  And the Bible says he gave a tenth, or a tithe, of all that he had.
