"KATY, Texas — When an Islamic group moved in next door and told Craig Baker the pigs on his family's 200-year-old Texas farm had to go, he and his swine decided to fight back."So let me get this straight, they buy property for a mosque next to a farm with pigs on it and ask the man to move so they are not upset... Can someone make that make sense to me?

Grace Church Sermon Notes
Notes from Grace Fellowship on 12/27/06
Pastor Bob Yandian.
Devine Healing
Matt 4
23 And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people.
This was His healing ministry. He taught, He Preached, He healed. Healing comes after teaching and preaching under normal circumstances. This is proper order. What did he teach? The Old Testament was what He taught. There is enough healing testimony in the Old Testament.
21 Healing Reasons – Why you are healed.
1. One of the main titles of God from Old Testament is Jehova Rapha meaning The Redeemer our Healer. Healing came with redemption. Salvation is healing for soul.
2. Old Testament sacrifices for healing point to Jesus on the cross, atonement as a symbol for healing.
3. When Jesus healed in Matt. 17, he proved Old Testament verses came true. He comments on the healing scriptures of the Old Testament.
4. Why would God stop healing after Old Testament? The Curse of the Law was removed, not the blessing.
5. New Testament, Jesus healed throughout the Gospels.
6. Why when Jesus and apostles did good and healed do we think sickness is good? Jesus went about doing good AND healing.
7. Acts talks of many healing seen by Apostles.
8. The mercy from God and Jesus shows the healing was by compassion and mercy. His mercy endures forever.
9. Sickness is to keep you bound (Acts 10:38). Jesus came to unbind us. Why would Jesus rebuke things that came from God?
10. Jesus was agent alluded to in both testaments. He is the same yesterday, today and forever.
11. Healing brings people to salvation. We are to do greater works. After Jesus healed, many people came into the kingdom of God.
12. Jesus was manifested to destroy works of the Devil.
13. Healing is Part of the blessings. Sickness is part of the curse.
14. Healing of sick is part of Great Commission. (Mark 16:18)
15. Jesus put gifts in church and one of them is healings. Miracles are a gift also. If Church is still here, miracles are here because they were put “in the Church.”
16. Command to lay hands on sick and see them healed. (James 5:14)
17. Greek word for Salvation is Sozo which also mean healing.
18. We were given power, dutamas, which is Greek word often used to means healing power.
19. Holy Spirit brings healing and miracles. (Gal 3:5)
20. Acts 1:1 shows Jesus began to teach and to do, we are to continue his ministry.
21. Simple observations show us that healing is real and not fake.
