The unchanging Jesus
Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus is the timeless one, eternal and unchanging in which there is no deviation. Notice what God
the Father says about His Son Jesus.
In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work
of your hands. They will perish, but you remain; they will all wear out like a garment. You will roll
them like a robe; like a garment they will be changed. But you remain the same, and your years
will never end.
Hebrews 1:10-12
It is through the name of Jesus that people were healed back in New Testament times and it is
through His name that people are healed today. Jesus said in Mark 16:17-18: In My name...they will place
their hands on the sick, and they will recover.
Peter attested to the fact that Jesus was responsible for the healing that took place in Acts 4:9-10:
If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a cripple and are asked how
he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of
Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed.
We have the same authority to use Jesus name to heal the sick as the Apostles did. The healings
that took place then take place now. Jesus is still responsible for the healings. The main difference between
the Apostles and Christians today is the fact that the Apostles knew who they were in Christ, they knew the
power and authority contained in the name of Jesus and they exercised that authority with conviction.
Most Christians today could not command a fly to get off a elephant’s back. Why? Because they
are not aware of the rights given to them by Jesus. They simply cannot comprehend the power contained
in Jesus’ name.
SATAN — RESPONSIBLE FOR SICKNESS AND DISEASE
The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy ...
John 10:10
... He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him,
When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of lies.
John 8:44
Some people are under the assumption that Satan and his demons are symbolic. One would have
to deny scripture to follow that line of thought. The Bible clearly teaches that Satan and his demons are real
entities. According to Ezekiel 28:13-19, Isaiah 14:12-20, Revelation 12:9-10, Revelation 20:2-3 and
Zechariah 3:1-2, Satan is real. You cannot rebuke something that is symbolic, likewise, something symbolic
cannot accuse anyone of anything, for Satan is called the accuser of the brethren.
