Rev Dr Ulf Ekman - Service 2

KNOWING JESUS

-the christian life is not always about preaching the gospel, but its about PERFORMING the POWER of the gospel.
-mt 9:35
-when you read Jesus, you've got to go INTO Jesus.
-we are the body of Christ -> we are supposed to do what He did, "and even greater things..."

-what did Jesus do? the body should be doing. He PREACHED, He TEACHED, and He HEALED the sick (including deliverance, etc.). He didnt teach/preach without healing. everywhere Jesus went, He healed. NO...He DID NOT pray for the sick, He HEALED the sick.
-dont just pray for the sick, HEAL them with the name of Jesus!

-teaching is to explain, but preaching is to PROCLAIM!
-we cannot decide who Jesus is or which aspect of Jesus we like and throw away the rest.
-dont live a selective christian life. its not about the denominational Jesus or which denomination ure from, but its about believing in the BIBLICAL Jesus.

-minimizing Jesus in a sin in the church. you limit the Holy One.
-Mk 6 - "could not" -> you can either turn Him on or turn Him off.
-scriptures are there to GROW on you.
-mt 4:23-24
-Healing is based on COMPASSION

-when Jesus was crucified and resurrected, He carried the perfect sacrifice/blood to Heaven and God was pleased. and God told Jesus to sit at His right hand and anointed His head with oil without measure such that on the day of Pentecost, the oil flowed to the body which is His church. -> we have the anointing the Jesus carried to fulfill our calling and purpose.

-mt 8:16, mt 10:5-8
-we dont need rational thinking, teaching materials, etc..to heal/deliver, we have the name of Jesus!
-stop identifying yourself with yourself, start identifying yourself with Jesus.
-the gospel is the POWER of God. -> when your anointing tank is empty, refill it! pray in the spirit and ask for more of His anointing in your life!

-healing/deliverance is not about reputation/fame, but its about COMPASSION!
-dont go by what you feel, go by what God says, go by OBEDIENCE.

-how can Jesus be at the right hand of God and yet at the same time WALK on the earth? what does it mean when He says He understands EVERYTHING that we go through when some of it are not mentioned in the bible/He did not experience in the desert/His earthly ministry?

Answer: THROUGH US! the body where He dwells in!

1) Healing is CENTRAL
-healing is also the gospel, the ministry and outreach of Jesus.

2) Healing is NEEDED
- 1 cor 12 -> you dont need to be a pastor to heal, we ARE His body, His hands, His mouth, His instruments! Here it mentioned the GIFTS of HEALINGS (plural!)
-all you need is the HEART (Jesus) + MOUTH (gospel) + HAND (anointing) to move in healing.

3) Healing is SCRIPTURAL
-healing is commanded
-healing is supernatural
-healing is foundational -> it's BASIC!

IMPARTATION SERVICE

service was great. the sermon was kinda deep at e beginning, but after svc, me and quincy discussed and reflected on the preaching and we shared revelations and yea, we learnt a lot from each other and knew more about the Word. thats what fellowship should be like, fellowship is about friends, but more than that, its about Jesus.

remembered ps kong once said, when we fellowship, we should NEVER leave Jesus out. how would you feel if during your birthday, all your friends at your house are having fun with one another and no one even greets u or even talks/notices you?

towards e end of the service, i felt so touched, so convicted. and ps ulf imparted the healing anointing in everyone of the congregation that night. and we all received it by faith. now faith without works is dead. dont just be a hearer, be a doer. what shld we do when someone is sick?

the bible is very brief and very clear, lay hands on them and pray for healing and they will be well. ;) that night was really an encounter..despite the 3hour 15-20min service. but every moment, it was a GOD-moment ^^
