(God's message preached by Rev. C. Peter Chandran on 3rd June 2018 Sunday Morning service in ZION FULL GOSPEL CHURCH, Puducherry).
 

Good Morning. Greetings to you in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. For our Sunday Message, let us read John’s Gospel, chapter five, verses one to Eighteen.

BETHESDA= House of Mercy:

“After this there was a feast of the Jews and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now there is in Jerusalem by the sheep gate a pool, which is called in Hebrew, Bethesda, having five porches. In these lay a great multitude of people, blind, lame, paralyzed, waiting for the moving of the water. For an Angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had”(John 5:1-4).

There are seven feasts of the LORD according to Leviticus chapter 23 in the Torah. Jesus went up to Jerusalem. It is the capital of Israel. Jeru = city, salem = peace. Jerusalem means the City of Peace. There were 12 gates to the city of Jerusalem. I went to Jerusalem in the year 2011. The sheep Gate is one among the 12 Gates. Bethesda (which means House of mercy)is a water Reservoir, which is in Jerusalem near the sheep Gate. It had five porches (colonnades).In these, a great multitude of sick people were laid. They were blind, lame, paralyzed. They were considered invalid physically. But God values each and every person’s soul. Your soul is valuable. These sick people were waiting for the moving of the water.

Stirring the water inside the Body

Note the three phrases repeated in this healing episode:

  1. The moving of the water
  2. Stirred up the water
  3. After the stirring of the water

An Angel did this stirring of the water. Whoever steps in first will be made well, after the stirring of the water. The Good news is whatever be your disease, you will be made well, by obeying divine laws of healing.

The fact about Human body: 71% water, 29% soil solid matter. Air is weightless. The internal organs like Brain, Heart, Lungs, Kidneys, etc., contain mostly water. Therefore having enough water inside the body is important. When you move, walk, exercise your body, the water inside your organs is stirred, and you will be made well. This is God’s creation of human body. (We should exercise at an open and airy place. Exercise makes our body active, fit and makes our body strong. Running and walking are good exercises. Walking early in the morning is good for health. Breath through nose and not through your mouth while doing exercise).

Man is a Three Dimensional Being

In Human being air is important. Water is life. Remaining is soil matter. Therefore, Man is a three dimensional being. Physically, Human body contains: air, water, and soil. Spiritually, Man is a three dimensional being: spirit, soul and body. These concepts are explained in the Bible very beautifully in Genesis 2:7 and 1. Thessalonians 5:23:

“ And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being”(Genesis 2:7).“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.”( 1.Thessalonians 5:23).

Understanding the creation of man and the recreation and new life experience is vital in experiencing Divine Healing. We are created in the image and likeness God. Three important constituents: spirit, soul and body of human being.

38 Years Sick Man

5 Now a certain man was there who had an infirmity thirty-eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lying there, and knew that he already had been in that condition a long time, He said to him, “Do you want to be made well?”7 The sick man answered Him, “Sir, I have no man to put me into the pool when the water is stirred up; but while I am coming, another steps down before me.”8 Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed and walk.” 9 And immediately the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked. And that day was the Sabbath(John 5:5-9).

This morning, while preparing message, The Lord Jesus gave me three outlines for this message: 1. The Compassion of Jesus, 2. The Command of Jesus, 3. The Counsel of Jesus.

(1) The Compassion of Jesus

A certain man had an infirmity for 38 years. His name is not mentioned. He had been in that condition a long time. Jesus came to Jerusalem to meet this one man. When He saw him, He had compassion on him. Jesus is the House of mercy, who stood before him. Jesus is the door. Jesus says: Most assuredly, I say to you, I am the door of the sheep. I am the door. If anyone enters by Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture (John 10:7, 9).There were five entrances to Bethesda. But only one way to Salvation: Jesus is the Door of salvation. Jesus is gracious and full of compassion towards you. He wants to heal you.

First, Jesus dealt with his soul (mind). He renewed his mind concerning divine healing. With love and concern Jesus asked this question: “Do you want to be made well?” This is the compassionate question of Our LORD Jesus. You must understand that your well being is the divine will of God. He creates a desire in you to be healed. Philippians 2:13 says: “For it is God who works in you both to will and to do His good pleasure”. Further, this divine will is amplified by the words of the Apostle John: “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers” (3 John 2). Healing is the will of God. God wants to heal you. First of all, be renewed in your mind. “And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God”( Romans 12:2).

Healing, Salvation and Holiness are the acceptable and perfect will of God. Accept this truth in your mind and act accordingly. You will experience divine blessings in the Name of our Lord Jesus. The sick man was telling some lame excuses that he had no human help to put him in the water. The Divine Helper was standing before him. Jesus the Son of God, the Great Healer, Jehovah Rapha (The LORD our Healer) stood before him and had compassion on him. Somehow, his mind was enlightened and he started expecting the next instruction of Jesus to get his divine healing.

(2) The Command of Jesus

Jesus said to him, “Rise, take up your bed, and walk”. And immediately, the man was made well, took up his bed, and walked”.

Jesus commanded him to walk. He said:” Rise, take up your bed and walk”. The man obeyed His words and was made well. Immediately, he was healed. Instant divine healing. God is speaking to you. Obey His command. You will experience this healing in your mortal body. Walk with Jesus. His Disciples walked with Him for three and half years. They had no disease. The 12 Disciples perfectly experienced Divine Healing. Daily walking with Jesus for 25 km in those days in a pollution free environment made them perfectly strong. Physical well being is God’s will concerning you.

“Arise, walk in the land through its length and its width, for I give it to you”(Genesis 13:17). „This is the genealogy of Noah, Noah was a just man, perfect in his generations, Noah walked with God. And Noah begot three sons: Shem, Ham, and Japheth”(Genesis 6:9,10).

Walk in the land. God will give it to you. You will inherit the earth. Walk with the Almighty, you will get your next generation. You will increase physically, spiritually and financially. Increase is God’s will concerning you.

Jesus Heals on the Sabbath

10 The Jews therefore said to him who was cured, “It is the Sabbath; it is not lawful for you to carry your bed.”11 He answered them, “He who made me well said to me, „Take up your bed and walk.? ”12 Then they asked him, “Who is the Man who said to you, „Take up your bed and walk??” 13 But the one who was healed did not know who it was, for Jesus had withdrawn, a multitude being in that place. 14 Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, “See, you have been made well.Sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you.”15 The man departed and told the Jews that it was Jesus who had made him well (John 5:10-15).

Jesus cured the sick man by renewing his mind to the will of God and making him walk regularly in front of the people in Jerusalem. Jews accused him for taking his bed and walking on the road to victory. Moreover, Jews accused Jesus for healing the man on the Sabbath. They misunderstood that he is a man. They did not understand that Jesus is the Christ, The Son of God. The third mistake of Jews was that they sought to kill Him.

(3)The Counsel of Jesus

Afterward Jesus found him in the temple, and said to him, „„see, you have been made well, sin no more, lest a worse thing come upon you” (John 5:14).

There are three facts in Jesus words:

  1. see, you are well
  2. sin no more
  3. If you sin, worse thing will come upon you

First, you have to see yourself healed, delivered, saved, new man in Christ. Seeing is having vision about your future. You are a New Creation. You are healed by the stripes of Christ. You are delivered from the powers of darkness and translated into the kingdom of God’s dear Son Jesus Christ..

Second, sin no more. Jesus forgives your past sins. He remembers your sin no more. It is cast into the depth of Ocean. Sin is removed from you as far as east is from the west. You do not have to sin again. God has cleansed you by His word. Sin no more. This is the counsel of Jesus.

Third, sin makes you worst. Saul was a worst sinner. Saul was a blasphemer, persecutor and insolent opponent. But he received mercy from the LORD. Paul said: Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners. Holiness is essential for a better Christian life. Live a life of Holiness.

Honour the Father and the Son

“But Jesus answered them, „„My Father is working until now, and I am working. This is why the Jews were seeking all the more to kill him, because, not only was he breaking the Sabbath, but he was even calling God his own Father, making himself equal with God”( John 5:17-18).

Jesus said: My Father is working until now, and I am working. This means God is His Father and Jesus is the Son of God. Divine Healing is the work of God, just like medical work is work of a doctor. Why did the Jews seek to kill Jesus?

  1. He was breaking the Sabbath
  2. Jesus healed the sick man on the Sabbath
  3. Jesus was making Himself equal with God

We need to understand that Jesus is equal with God. He is the second person of the Trinity, but equal with God the Father. God created the world through His spoken Word. Jesus is the Word of God. God manifested in flesh, full of grace and truth. Jesus is the great I AM. Jehovah – Rapha = The LORD our Healer. Jesus heals people even today for the glory of God the Father. That is the Mission of coming into this world. He is the Saviour of the world. Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you and your household will be blessed. God bless you. Amen.

Prayer for Divine Healing (Pray this Prayer aloud by opening your mouth)

LORD Jesus, come into my life. God, you are loving, gracious and full of compassion. Jesus you are the House of Mercy (Bethesda),You are my door of salvation. Come into my heart. I want to be made well and I obey your words: I take up my bed of sickness, laziness and poverty and I walk before the people of Chennai (put your town name) in the Name of Jesus and I am healed, delivered and blessed financially. Thank you LORD Jesus. LORD, I will sin no more. I am determined to live a life of holiness and I honour you my LORD Jesus. Father God, I worship You and honour You and Thank you and Bless You. In Jesus precious Name, I pray. Amen.

If you have prayed this prayer, I believe and declare, you are healed, saved and Blessed. In Jesus Name. You are starting your New life, Clean life and Blessed life.
