3-1-13 A Living Sacrifice

CHAIRMAN

Marie, you said the people don’t see the Holy Spirit gifts because they haven’t presented their bodies a living sacrifice. The man to which Duncan referred to in John 9:36 who was healed without ever knowing who Christ was certainly hadn’t presented his body a living sacrifice. He didn’t know Christ, so why way he healed?

PASTOR BATTLE

Well, I meant that, in order for these gifts to work through the one that was talking with them (who was it – Peter?) Praise God, that was praying for him. There the ones that were, that was walking, walking upright with the Lord. There was a time they wondered why they couldn’t do it, Praise God. And Jesus told them, “These things come only but by fasting and prayer.” Ok, today, somehow people never go on a fast. They think that’s not important. Ok, that’s gone. I don’t know why you’re wanting to think that you’ve got to live in the past, or either in the future. But right now is the day, is the day of salvation. Right now is when we need Him, Praise God. So I’m not saying that the man wasn’t …he had not given himself to the Lord. But the moment, Praise God, his faith went out there, he was healed. Praise God. That’s got to be our faith. (What else, you’ve got something else?)

CHAIRMAN

The next one is for Duncan? Duncan, have you been baptized in the name of Jesus?

DUNCAN HEASTER

In one word answer, yes I have. [Audience claps]

CHAIRMAN

[To audience. Let’s hold those down please, we’re really not here to cheerlead, so let’s not have those please.] Marie, this one is for you. The healing that was done, as claimed by you, did not say it was done by you but by God. This is my understanding. Support the brother’s claim, please comment.

Which brother?
