Sermon Tone Analysis

We’re going to */continue/* on the */subject of healing/* for our physical bodies.

*I.

*I want to */pick up with/** **/JOHN 15:7./*

(I know we */looked at this V last time/*, but it’s so good.)

*A.

*The */Wuest translation/* says, “*If you maintain a living communion with me* *and my Words are at home in you, **/I command you/ to ask, at once, something for yourself, whatever your heart desires, and it will become yours.*”

(*/JOHN 15:7/*)

                        *1.

/Notice/* that He says, “*/If you maintain a living communion with me/*.”

*a.

*From this we can see “*/Remaining in Communion or in Fellowship/*” */with the Lord/* */is essential for us to receive the desires of our heart/*.

*2.

*The */2nd/* */prerequisite/* that */Jesus gives/* here is that */His Words must abide in you/*.

*a.

*You need to */have the Word of God in your heart/*.

*b.

*Jesus said in (*/John 8:32/*) “*/Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free/*.”

*i.

/What would we do if we were confronted with the enemy/*?

*ii.

*We need to */use the Word of God against him/*.

*3.

/According to what Jesus said in/* (*/JOHN 15:7/*) */If we have fellowship with the Lord/* */and believe God’s Word/*, */we should ask/*, */in Jesus’ name/*, */and receive what we ask for/*.

*II.

*Look with me to */ACTS 3: 1-9 /*

              *A.

/Notice/* in (*/V 6/*) Peter said, “*/In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk/*.”

(KJV)

                        *1.

There’s **/healing/ in the name of Jesus.

*

                        *2.

/Paul said to a demon/* in (*/ACT 16:18/*) “*/I command thee/* *in the name of Jesus* */Christ to/* *come out* */of her/*.”

And he came out.

*a.

There’s **/deliverance/ in the name of Jesus*.

*B.*

*/Jesus left his name/* with us, and */we have/* been given the */right to use that name/*.

*1.*

(*/Philippians 2:9-10/*) Says, “*/Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name: 10 That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth/*.”

*a.*

*/Satan must respect that Name/* */which is above every name/*, and */his entire kingdom/* */must obey our command/* */when given in the Name of Jesus/*.

*1.

*Of course */as long as/ it’s **/in line with the will of God/*.

*2.

*In (*/LUKE 10:17/*) the disciples said, “*/Even the devils are subject unto us through thy name/*.”

(Through the name of Jesus.)

*3.

*It was */Jesus/* who */conquered sin/*, */Satan/*, */disease/*, */death/*, */hell/*, and the */grave/*; */and we have a legal right to use that name/*.

*4.

**/ACTS 2:38/*

                                  *a.

There’s **/salvation/ in the Name of Jesus*.

*b.

*The */possibilities/ involved **/in the name of Jesus/* are */beyond/* our */understanding/*.

*c.

*When Jesus said, “*/Whatsoever ye ask the Father in My Name/*,” He was */giving us a signed check/* on the *resources of heaven*.

*5.

*If you */need healing/*, */find out what the Word/* of God */says/*, *so* that *you* can */receive/**/ what is in the name/* of Jesus.

*a.

There’s **/healing/ **/in the Name/*, there’s */deliverance/* in the Name, there’s */safety/* in the Name, there’s */prosperity/* in the Name, there’s */salvation/* in the Name, there’s */power/* in the Name.

*b.

*In (*/MATT 28:18/*) it says, “*/And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth/*.”

*i.

*That word “*/Power/*” there is the Greek word “*/exousia/*” which means “*/authority/, **/jurisdiction/*.”

*ii.

*Some say, “Oh, that *doesn’t mean Power*?”

                                           *iii.

/If you have/* the */Authority/* to do something then */you have the Power to back it up/*.

*iv.

*Look at */MARK 16:15-18/*

*                                                     **a.

/Jesus/ has **/given us/ **/His Name/ to use*, */and/ there’s **/Power in that name/*.

*b.

*According to (*/JOHN 15:16/*) Jesus is saying, “*/If you ask the Father in My Name/*, *I will endorse that petition*, *and the Father will give you anything I have endorsed*.”

*III.

**/JOHN 11:41/* (This is talking about Lazarus)

              *A.

*We know that the *Father always hears Jesus*, and */when we pray in Jesus’ Name/*, */it’s as though Jesus/* himself */were/* doing the */praying/*.

*1.

/If you need healing/*, you can */ask the Father/* for it, */in Jesus’ Name/*, */believe/* that He */hears you/*, */and/* you will find *your **/sickness leave/*.

*a.

/WHY/*?

*2.

**/1JOHN 5:14-15/*

                                  *a.

*It’s yours.

You have a right to it.

*b.

/Ask him for it/* */and/* */receive your health/*, */in the Name of Jesus/*.

*c.

*(*/JOH 16:23-24/*) Says, “*/And in that day ye shall ask me nothing.

Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give {it} you.

(24) Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full/*.”

(KJV)

                        *3.

/If you need healing/*, you can */ask the Father for it/*, */in the Name of Jesus/*, */and/* you shall */receive your healing/*, */so/* that your */joy may be full/*.

*a.

/Peter took Jesus at His Word/*, and */said to the lame man/*, */In the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk/*.

*b.

/THAT NAME HAS NEVER LOST ITS POWER/*.

*B.

/People are saved through that NAME/*.

*1.

*(*/ACT 4:12/*) Says, “*/Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved/*.”

*2.

*You can *pray and make* your *petitions to the Father in that NAME*.

*3.

/In that NAME/* the */lame/, **/impotent/, and **/helpless/ were **/healed/* and made to walk again.

*4.

*Jesus said, In (*/MAR 16:17/*), “*/In my NAME shall they cast out devils/*.”

*a.

*Paul proved that, */Paul said to an evil spirit/*, In (*/ACT 16:18/*), “*/I command thee in the name of Jesus Christ to come out of her.

And he came out the same hour/*.”

(KJV)

              *C.

/What power that NAME has for the Church/*.

*1.

*According to (*/COL 3:17/*), we’re taught: “*/Whatsoever ye do in word or deed, {do} all in the name of the Lord Jesus/*.”

*2.

*In (*/EPH 5:20/*) It says, “*/Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ/*.”
