Commitment Leading Up to Healing 1

Commitment Leading up to Healing Healing 1 Jesus totally committed Himself to God! As He follow what God wanted about His Baptism. That the baptism was a dedication unto all righteousness. Matthew 3:14-15 (14)And John tried to prevent Him, saying, I have need to be baptized by You, and are You coming to me? (15)But Jesus answered and said to him, ""Permit it to be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness"" Then he allowed Him. After He committed Himself, It was His Body, His Soul, & His Spirit to God. IMMEDIATELY, after his baptism, descended upon Him, the Holy Ghost came FROM Heaven as a dove and abode upon Him. (actully the Heavens open up). There was a voice that also came from heaven saing Matthew 3:17 "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased! Jesus was a hundrefold consecrated to God". This will come upon every man who will meet the Almighty God withe the samutterance of real consecration to God, of sprit, soul, and body. And this reveals the demand of God upon the Christian's person and conscience, and the answer of God from heaven to this fullness of consecration. Jesus went into the wilderness, where after the time satan came to test Him and see if he was really consecrated to God in body, in soul, and in spirit. Would He endure satan testing. Thank God he did!! Jesus did overcome all the efforts of satan to tempt Him in those specific departments of His life. FIRST: body SECOND: soul Third: spirit Jesus overcame with the reliance on God, HIS WORD, and came forth in the power of the Spirit. HE ANNOUNCED THE CONSTRUCTIVE PLATFORM OF HIS LIFE AND MINISTRY, CONTAINING THE FOLLOWING: There are six You will find all these in Luke 4:18-19 THE SPIRIT OF THE LORD IS UPON ME BEAUSE HE HAS ANOINTED ME TO (1) PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR. (2) HE HATH SENT ME TO HEAL THE BROKEN HEARTED. (3) PREACH DELIVENANCE TO THE CAPTIVES, (4) RECOVERING OF SIGHT TO THE BLIND (5) TO SET AT LIBERITY THOSE WHO ARE OPPRESSED (6) PREACH THE ACCEPTABLE YEAR OF THE LORD The acceptable year is the of Jubilee & all the consequent of blessing. God's neverending Jubilee was at hand in Jesus Christ.
