Dig a little deeper into the Word with Pastor Petie.

And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and
preach the gospel to every creature. . . And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name . . .
they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
—-MARK 16:15,17,18
Let’s stop and analyze something here: Which of the sick
did Jesus say we were to lay hands on?
Jesus just said “the sick” —- period.
Then, if God were the author of sickness—-if God did
put sickness and disease on people —- if it were the
will of God for some to be sick —- this statement
would be confusing. Because in it, Jesus authorized
us to lay hands on ALL sick.
If God weren’t in the healing business, Jesus would
have had to say something like, “Lay your hands on
those that it is the will of God to heal, and they shall
recover.
But, no! God set the Church against sickness - period!
Confession: God is in the healing business. God is not in
the sickness business. God is in the delivering business.
God is not in the bondage business. I refuse to allow the
enemy to try to get me to accept sickness or bondage as
being from God. Satan is the author of sickness. God has
set me against sickness.

For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against
principalities, against powers, against the ruler of the
darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in
high places. EPHESIANS 6:12                                                                                                                                                                                                                      WE are called upon to bind unseen forces. We have
authority over the devil and evil spirits. But we do not
have authority over men or their wills.
Story by Hagin: He and a pastor friend were at a
conference in California. The man had diabetes, and
he had to check his urine every morning for sugar
content to see how much insulin he would need for his
daily injection.
Hagin told him, “You won’t register any sugar as long
as you’re with me.” He looked at me as if he didn’t
believe him, but in the almost two weeks he was with
me, he never registered any sugar, even though he ate
pies and cakes. He later told me he was home for
three days before he registered sugar again.
Why? I took authority over his sickness. I had control
over unseen forces, but I didn’t have control over his
will. As long as he was with me, and this unseen force
was in my presence, I could control it, I tried to
convince him he could do the same thing, but he
expected it to come back, and it did.
Confession: I have authority over all unseen forces in
my realm of domain. And I bind them and stop their
activity in Jesus’ Name
YOU HAVE AUTHORITY OVER UNSEEN FORCES!

Read 1 Corinthians 15: 55-58

Easter is a season of great gladness for those who
know Christ. But for those who are without “the light
of the knowledge of God’s glory” (2 Corinthians 4:6),
there is nothing to rejoice over. Jesus left us with the
great hope and certainty that He is going to return to
bring a new Heaven and a new earth where, we are
told, there will be no more sorrow, trouble, or death for
those who have believed and followed Him. There will
be trouble, sorrow, and suffering for those who have
neglected or rejected Him. *As Christians, our great
task is to obey the command to tell the whole world
about Christ crucified, buried, yet risen again. My
prayer for you during this season of the year, when we
meditate on our Savior’s great sacrifice for us on the
cross, is that you will be filled with great peace and
hope, because “He is risen!” That is the Good News.
As you follow Christ, are you obeying His command
to tell others that He is risen indeed?                                                                                                                                                                                          Are you sure of Are you sure of your salvation?  Commit your life to
Christ today. BY BILLY GRAHAM

PASSOVER NUGGETS
*PESACH OR PASSOVER - annual weeklong festival
celebrating Jewish people from slavery (in ancient Egypt)
*PESACH means “to passover” because the plague in Egypt
that killed all first-borns passed over the Israelites’ homes,
sparing the lives of their children.                                                                                                                                                                                                      *passover dates Hebrew calendar month of Nissan 15-22
*passover dates GREGORIAN calendar April 5-April 13
Nissan 14 day of the “passover”, lamb slaughtered and
blood put on doorpost.
Nissan 15 (beginning of 7 day Festival of Unleavened Bread,
now known as PASSOVER)-at sundown the cooked lamb
and unleavened bread was eaten.
SEDER MEAL, seder means “order” The experience of the
Exodus is told in story, song, prayer, and the tasting of
symbolic food. The Seder meals include 4 cups of wine,
eating matzah, and bitter herbs, and retelling the sorry of
the Exodus.
KEEP OLD LEAVEN OUT OF YOUR NEW LIFE
I Corinthians 5: 6-8
:6 Your glorying is not good. Know you not that a little
leaven leaveneth (ruins) the whole lump?
:7Purge out therefore the old leaven, that you may be a
new lump, as you are unleavened. For Christ our passover
is sacrificed for us;
:8 Therefore let us keep the feast, not with old leaven,
neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with
the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.

The Plan of The Spirit
[God] has saved us and called us with a holy calling,
not according to our works, but according to His own
purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus
before time began, but has now been revealed by the
appearing of our Savior Jesus Christ, who has abolished
death and brought life and immorality to light through the
gospel. (2 Timothy 1:9-10) We are saved, called with a holy calling—called to be
saints, holy, pure, Godlike, sons with power. It has been a
long time now since the debt of sin was settled, our
redemption was secured, and death was abolished.
Mortality is a hinderance, but death no longer has
power. Sin no longer has dominion.
You reign in Christ; you appropriate His finished
work.
Don’t groan and travail for a week if you are in need;
“only believe” (Mark 5:36). Don’t fight to get some special
thing. “only believe.” It is according to your faith that you
will receive (Matt 9:29).
God blesses you with faith. “Have faith in God.”
(Mark11:22)
If you are free in God, believe, and it will come to
pass.
If then you were raised with Christ, seek those things
that are above, where Christ is, sitting at the right hand of
God.” (Col. 3:1)
I am seated with Him in heavenly places (Eph 2:6).
God credits me with righteousness through faith in Christ
(Rom. 4:5), and I believe Him.                                                                                                                                                                                                      Why should we doubt? Glory to God! Thank You
Jesus for our measure of faith!

Once, God spoke to an Australian pastor and said,
“You’re believing Me for only the tithe of what I want
to give you.” He was surprised because he had
thousand-dollar faith. When I arrived at his place to
preach ,the Lord told me to raise $10,000. For him. He
had a campground and men available to build on it,                                                                                                                                                                                    but the had no materials for doing the building. God
wanted to give him $10,000., and his faith had been for
$1,000.
I believe that most of us are in this same condition. WE
have limited God by our limited vision. Let your FAITH
be a growing FAITH, an ever expanding FAITH.
There is nothing wrong in believing for groceries,
gas bill, but you must set your sights higher. You must
begin to believe God for nations and peoples. . . . If you
spend all your time praying for the necessities of life,
you will never have enough FAITH to reach out to
hurting and suffering people around the world. Lift
your sights, and let God increase your FAITH.
We must believe God for television programs and
missionary outreaches, so please don’t spend all your
time praying fo the mundane things of life. And how
can you get away from that isolation? Begin praying
for others, trusting God that as you concern yourself
for them, He will take care of you.
Pray for your church and your pastor. Pray for
the ministers of America. Pray for the churches of the
world. If you’ll get this increased vision, you’ll never
again have to worry about the light bill, the grocery bill,
and the car payment. Your FAITH will have risen to a
new height in God and will be producing much more
than you need for yourself.

Short Story by Smith Wigglesworth
In Switzerland in a house meeting Smith and his
friends prayed for people and had seen their healings
manifested. After they left the house someone told him
a blind man was there and heard everything that was
said, but he was not prayed for. The man said he
would not leave the house until he was prayed for.                                                                                                                                                                                     He was born blind. Smith thought that was unique and he
turned around and went back to the house.
Smith anointed him, then laid hands on his eyes,
prayed for him, and immediately God gave this man his
sight.
The man counted all the lights in the room, then
took his watch out of his pocket that had raised hands
on it so he could tell the time. Now he only had to look
at it. The ecstatic pleasure that man experienced
because he had received his eyesight!
Smith and the others with joy, wept and danced
and shouted. Then the man realized he had never seen
his mother or father. He ran out of the house to go
home. That night the man was the first one back to the
house meeting. Everyone knew him as the “blind
man.” He shared his story of his sight.
Beloved, I wonder how much you want to take
away today. You could not carry it if it were an actual
substance. BUT THERE IS SOMETHING ABOUT THE
GRACE AND THE POWER AND THE BLESSINGS OF GOD
THAT CAN CARRIED, NO MATTER HOW BIG THEY ARE!
OH, WHAT A SAVIOR! What a place we are in by grace,
that He may come in and commune with us.
HE is willing to say to every heart, “peace be still”
(Mark 4:39), and to every weak body, “be strong.”
Are you going halfway, or are you going right
to the end? Do not be deceived today by Satan,
but BELIEVE GOD.

SMITH WIGGLESWORTH On the HOLY SPIRIT
Written by Smith Wigglesworth


Chapter 16. “The Best with Improvement”
Let the Spirit cover you today so that you may be
intensely earnest about the deep things of God.                                                                                                                                                                                        You should be so in the order of the Spirit that
you may know this: that your will, your mind,
and your heart may be so centered in God that
He may lift you into the pavilion of splendor
where you hear His voice —-lift you to the place
where the breath of the Almighty can send you
to pray and send you to preach, the Spirit of the
Lord being upon you.
ASK GOD FOR WISDOM
James 1:5 “If any of you lacks wisdom let him
ask of God who gives to all liberally and without
reproach and it will be given to him.”
…by the power of the Spirit, I can stimulate
you until you dare to believe and rest on the
authority of God’s Word. The Spirit of the living
God quickens you, and I see that “faith comes by
hearing, and hearing by the word of God” (Rom.
10:17)
…God wants to promote us. He wants us to get
away from our own thoughts and our own
foolishness, and get to a definite place, believing
that He exists and that “He is a rewarder of those
who diligently seek Him” (Heb. 11:6)

Don’t Put Out The Spirit’s Fire!
Quench not the Spirit. — I Thessalonians 5:19
*Don’t ignore Holy Spirit’s leading!
*Don’t disregard His voice!
*Don’t close you ears when He is speaking to you!
*Don’t pass up an opportunity for Holy Spirit to use you!
*Don’t avoid moments when God wants to pour His power
through you!
*Don’t throw water on the flames until you quench the
Spirit!
It’s time to say “Yes, Lord, I’ll do what You say. I’ll go where
You send me. I’ll obey what You tell me to do!”

compassed out: peikeimenai = completely encircled by
something stacked high on every side
THE BIBLE is piled high with examples of people—-
people just like you—-who stood in faith and endured
difficulties in order to do the will of God. . . If you look
closely, you’ll see that there are huge numbers of these
“never-give-up” kind of people living on this earth right
now as well. You are not alone in your walk of faith!                                                                                                                                                                     Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about
with so great a cloud of witnesses
HEBREWS 12:1
