God’s mercy and justice work together so that we always get His love. How God does this is by offering to forgive us. Every way we fail to be truly human, sin, has real impact, consequences and ripple effects. Justice requires that we are held accountable. God offers to lift the burden of sin and all it brings off of us. He keeps His promises of love longer than sin can cause pain to us, He keeps his promises forever.

God’s name is not just a label for him, it reveals His Character. Today we look at the center point for the theology of God in Scripture when God himself proclaimed His Name Yahweh and what is in the Name.

In the first encounter between Moses and God in Exodus, He introduces himself and says his personal name. His Name is YHWH. This is the name he is to be called through all generations. While words like god, mungu and others work they are only titles and just like in that time they are often used to refer to many other beings and ideas that people worship.

In this episode, we get into the theology of the Kingdom as a framework for how to think about and what to do with unanswered prayer, especially for healing.

Today we talk with Sean and Meredith about their journey of praying for people, receiving prayer, seeing healing, receiving healing and even battling unanswered prayer while receiving the gifts God has given them.

"Healing can be instant or sometimes gradual, yet in all times it is gradual." The healing Jesus offers is holistic. Sometimes there is such a focus on physical healing or deliverance as if it is the end all of things. It is bigger than that. It is about being fully restored to wellness in all areas that have been out of joint. Sometimes even after people get healed, there is still work to be done on the emotional, psychological and communal impacts of what they have gone through. This is why healing cannot be outside of the community, is not for show and is always tied to the Kingdom of God and our discipleship.

Jesus healed the sick, trained his disciples to do the same and even sent them out to do it. If God does heal today and all of us can participate, why is it Important for you, as a follower of Jesus, also practice laying hands on the sick to pray for them? It is tied to our discipleship and obedience to Jesus, it shows deep compassion for those around us and it is Spiritual Warfare. Join the conversation.

Jesus healed out of compassion and two, Jesus healed as a demonstration of the Kingdom of God. He felt people’s pain deeply and it moved him to action. And if Jesus is the same yesterday, today, and forever, he still feels the pain of the sick. The question is, will the church which is the hands and feet of Jesus be moved to action?

As God touches our lives, we get to touch others, and Healing is part of it.

Healing the sick was a significant part of the ministry of Jesus. It is a part of the presence of the Kingdom. Our discipleship to Jesus also involves doing what Jesus did. We get to not only proclaim the Good News of the Kingdom but demonstrate the Good News of the Kingdom.
