Do you have a praise report that God healed you? I sure do and I give the Glory to God. I know that many of you have praise reports too. Jesus is our healer. Read and study the Word about healing. The prophesy about Jesus in Isaiah 53-4-5: 4 Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. 5 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed. Jesus not only died on the cross for your sins to be forgiven but He also died on the cross for your healing. The prophesy came true here in 1 Peter 2:24: “He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.” The centurion had the faith for his servant to be healed. Jesus healed the centurion’s servant. Matthew 8:5-17: 5 When Jesus had entered Capernaum, a centurion came to him, asking for help. 6 “Lord,” he said, “my servant lies at home paralyzed, suffering terribly.” 7 Jesus said to him, “Shall I come and heal him?” 8 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed. 9 For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.” 10 When Jesus heard this, he was amazed and said to those following him, “Truly I tell you, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith. 11 I say to you that many will come from the east and the west, and will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the subjects of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.” 13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go! Let it be done just as you believed it would.” And his servant was healed at that moment. 14 When Jesus came into Peter’s house, he saw Peter’s mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. 15 He touched her hand and the fever left her, and she got up and began to wait on him. 16 When evening came, many who were demon-possessed were brought to him, and he drove out the spirits with a word and healed all the sick. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through the prophet Isaiah: “He took up our infirmities and bore our diseases.” Give God the Glory! Philippians 4:8 8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.

Women in The Church There has been and still is controversy in the church over these verses. 1 Timothy 2:11-15 (KJV) 11 Let the woman learn in silence with all subjection. 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence. 13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve. 14 And Adam was not deceived, but the woman being deceived was in the transgression. 15 Notwithstanding she shall be saved in childbearing, if they continue in faith and charity and holiness with sobriety. The Young's Literal Translation (YLT) In verse 12 it says 12 and a woman I do not suffer to teach, nor to rule a husband, but to be in quietness. The Wycliffe Bible (WYC) in verse 12 says 12 But I suffer not a woman to teach, neither to have lordship on the husband [neither for to have lordship on the man], but to be in silence. The Common English Bible (CEB) in verse 12 says 12 I don’t allow a wife[b] to teach or to control her husband.[c] Instead, she should be a quiet listener. Paul had just given instructions on how women should dress. in 1 Timothy 2:9. These instructions have to be modified to some degree according to the societies we live in. It’s the same with this instruction about women keeping silent in the church. That was a custom of the day. Paul was telling the women he ministered to how to conduct themselves in the church of his day. As time changes, customs also change. Paul commanded slaves to obey their masters, not because he approved of slavery, but that was the custom of his day. Now that we are free from slavery, we don’t have to go back into slavery to obey that part of God’s Word. Likewise, the position of women in our society has changed, and we don’t need to go backwards. The spirit of these commands still exists. Women are supposed to submit to their husbands and honor and respect them, but they are no longer property to be bought and sold and controlled. The contention has increased with the change of women’s roles in society. There isn’t a simple answer, but a subtle point in this passage should defuse much of the contention. Paul was not teaching that women in general are to submit to men in general (Colossians 3:18). Paul was speaking about a wife not taking by force, the leadership role over her husband. That is the point Paul was specifying, that a woman should not “usurp authority over the man” (1 Timothy 2:12. This singles out an individual man, not mankind. It refers to a wife not being her husband’s boss. Paul was saying that a wife is to let the husband take the leadership role in the church (Ephesians 5:22-24). She is to let her husband speak. The word “usurp” in the next verse further strengthens this interpretation. “Usurp” means, “to seize and hold...by force or without legal authority” (American Heritage Dictionary). Paul was talking against a woman lording over her husband. This is similar to what Paul went on to say about the men in the next chapter. He told Timothy not to make a man a bishop who couldn’t rule his own house. Likewise, he was saying that a woman should not speak in the church if she’s trying to usurp her husband’s authority. If a man’s home isn’t in order, he shouldn’t minister, and if a woman’s husband isn’t in agreement with her saying something, she should be quiet. The reason for Paul’s instruction about the wife keeping quiet was to keep her from usurping authority over her husband. This does not forbid women to speak in the church if their husbands are in agreement. Paul spoke of women praying and prophesying in the church services (1 Corinthians 11:5). Priscilla instructed Apollos (Acts 18:26), and Paul instructed the older women to teach the younger women (Titus 2:3-4). It appears that Paul did not forbid women to teach under appropriate circumstances. In 1 Timothy 2:13-15, Paul continued his argument, using Adam and Eve as an example of a husband-and-wife relationship. This is not a “men are superior to women” passage of Scripture but a “husbands are the head of their wives” (Ephesians 5:23) passage. The Greek word for “silence” here in 1 Timothy 2:11-12 is “HESUCHIA,” and it was also used in 2 Thessalonians 3:12 as a description “of the life of one who stays at home doing his own work, and does not officiously meddle with the affairs of others” (Thayer’s Greek-English Lexicon). The word “officious” means “marked by excessive eagerness in offering unwanted services or advice to others” (American Heritage Dictionary). In that passage, it is clear that Paul was not telling people to work in total silence, but to mind their own business. Likewise, here in 1 Timothy 2:11-12, Paul was not talking about complete silence. This same Greek word was used in Acts 22:2 and 2 Thessalonians 3:12 to mean undisturbed and settled down. Apparently, the women had gotten out of hand in the church services, and Paul was putting things in order by telling them to let their husbands do the talking. This is speaking of a rebellious woman who is not submitted to her husband or anyone else, trying to control and dominate a church assembly. Notice also the use of the definite article “the” in front of the word “man.” This is specifying a particular man, or the husband. This is not a command for women in general not to teach or usurp authority over men, but this is a command for a wife not to teach or usurp authority over her husband. Similar commands were given in 1 Timothy 3 and Titus 1 to the husband. They were commanded that they could not be bishops if their wives were not in agreement. That’s what Paul is telling the women. If their husbands aren’t in agreement, then they shouldn’t be teaching or leading in the church. Women can certainly speak in the church and teach if their husbands are in agreement. Likewise, men can teach and lead in the church if their wives are in agreement. But if they don’t have that agreement, men or women should not be teachers or leaders in the church. Anytime you have two people together, there needs to be a system of authority in place to settle disputes. In the case of the husband and wife, the husband was given the superior authority, but not because he’s better. That’s just the way it happened. Adam was formed first and then Eve, and Adam was given the superior authority in the home. This does not mean a man is supposed to lord it over the woman. They are supposed to be heirs together of the grace of life (1 Peter 3:7) and submit one to another in the fear of God (Ephesians 5:21). But the husband has been given the leadership role. Men ruling over their wives (as was, and still is, traditional in some cultures) was abolished through Christ. Jesus was the best thing to ever happen to the women’s rights movement. He set them free from being property and elevated them tremendously. However, the Lord still has a system of government for the home, with the husband in the position of leadership.

Unity Of The Faith Ephesians 4:13 (TLB) 13 until finally we all believe alike about our salvation and about our Savior, God’s Son, and all become full-grown in the Lord—yes, to the point of being filled full with Christ. If you know how to listen to the voice of God, you can hear Him calling throughout the Body of Christ today. He is calling for unity. He's calling us to lay down our disagreements and come together in preparation for Jesus’ return. Just the thought of that scares some believers. “How can I unify with someone from another denomination?” They say. “I’m not going to give up my doctrines and agree with theirs just for unity’s sake!” What they don’t realise is this: Scriptural unity isn’t based on doctrine. Winds of doctrine, according to Ephesians 4:14, are childish. Winds of doctrine don’t unify. They divide and blow people in every direction. The Word doesn’t say anything about us coming into the unity of our doctrines. It says we’ll come into the unity of the faith. In the past, we have failed to understand that and tried to demand doctrinal unity from each other anyway. “If you don’t agree with me on the issue of tongues,” we've said, “or on the timing of the rapture...or on the proper depth of baptismal waters, I won’t accept you as a brother in the Lord. I’ll break fellowship with you.” But that’s not God’s way of doing things. He doesn’t have a long list of doctrinal demands for us to meet. His requirements are simple. 1 John 3:23 tells us what they are: to believe on the name of His Son, Jesus Christ, and to love one another. Once you and I come to a place where we keep those requirements and quit worrying about the rest, we’ll be able to forget our denominational differences and come together in the unity of faith. We’ll grow so strong together that the winds of doctrine will not be able to drive us apart. When that happens, the devil’s going to panic because the unity of the faith of God’s people is a staggering thing. It is the most unlimited, powerful thing on earth. Right now all over the world, the Spirit is calling the Church of the living God to unite. Hear Him and obey, and you can be a part of one of the most magnificent moves of God this world has ever seen. Psalm 133:1 1 How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity!
