blessing blessed be the name of the Lord
his name is Jesus I have come so that
sinners may be turned from their sins to
bring people from the wrong way back
into righteousness that is why Jesus is
made manifest then now and forever
that is his purpose
Luke 5 verse 32 Luke 5 verse 32 I have
come not to get the upright but sinners
so that they may be turned from their
sins many people think that well we’re
with God we’re good and have a closed a
closed fellowship but
not what Jesus did that is not what God
did God came down meet himself low
humbled himself for God his spirit God
made himself low ruler creator of all
made himself low to come as something
created to man to come for those who
were lost the sinners the sinners so any
fellowship in my opinion any fellowship
in the opinion of the bible scripture
based on God is supposed to be open for
we are Christians we say and as our Lord
is so we must be and he came not to get
the upright not to get those who say
they are holy but sinners so that they
may be saved turned away from their sins
blessed be your Lord and I thank you
lord I thank you Lord for coming for us
so that we sinners may be turned from
our sins Paul said that to him as the
greatest of sinners the grace of God was
given he forgave him to show to the
world his purpose to show to the world
that the grace of God is for all sinners
for all sinners for all who change their
ways
thank you Lord for changing our ways for
showing us who you are for not all can
be changed by men some can only be
changed by you lord thank you lord a
faith in Christ for he came for us
sinners not for those who say they are
holy but for us sinners he came so that
we may be turned from our sin amen
Lord give us your word speak with your
voice speak unto the hearts of those
that are under the power of your voice
in Jesus mighty name amen
Luke five Luke five verse one and
remember the backdrop of Luke five he
came his words are I have come so that
sinners may be turned from their sins
Luke five verse one look fine
now it came about that while the people
came pushing to be near him and who have
knowledge of the word of God he was by a
wide stretch of water named janessa rent
and he saw two boats by the edge of the
water but the fishermen had gone out of
them and were washing their nets and he
got into one of the boats the property
of Simon and made a request to him to go
a little way out from the land
and being seated he gave the people
teaching from the boat and when his
stock was ended he said to Simon go out
into deep water and let down your nets
for fish and Simon answering said master
we were working all night and we took
nothing but at your word I will let down
the nets fate we then we made all sorts
of efforts Lord when nothing happened
but you give the word Lord for the Lord
rules by his word and I will let down
the nets and we will do it again
one more time for the Lord blessed be
your Lord Luke 5 verse 6 and when they
had done this they got such a great
number of fish that it seemed as if
their Nats would be broken and they made
signs to their friends in the other boat
to come to their help and they came and
the two boats were so full that they
were going down but Simon when he saw it
went down at the knees of Jesus and said
go away from me O Lord for I am a sinner
I am not worthy for he was full of
wonder and so were all those who were
with him and the number of fish which
they had take but the Lord came so that
sinners may be turned from their sins
first then
all those who were there were full of
wonder and so were James and John the
sons of Zebedee who were working with
Simon and Jesus said to Simon have no
fear from this time forward you will be
a Fisher of men and when they have got
their boats through the land they gave
up everything and went after him
how many have given up everything and
gone after him and when they got their
boats to the land they gave up
everything and went after him and it
came about that while he was in one of
the towns there was a leper there and
when he saw Jesus he went down on his
face and prayer to him saying Lord if it
is your pleasure
you have power to make me clean and he
put all his hand to him and said it is
my pleasure be clean and straight away
his disease went from him and he gave
him orders say nothing to any man but
let the priest see you and give an
offering so that you may be made clean
as the law of Moses says and for a
witness to them at all times when jesus
heals so you may discern the truth from
not so true the people are sent to other
people in authority to make sure to
attest to testify that the person is
cured
say nothing to any man not not saying
hey Jesus did this for me this is a
miracle say nothing to any man but let
the priest see you and give an offering
so that you may be made clean as the law
of moves a sense for a witness to them
and for a witness student so that they
may know that hey we didn’t do this but
hey look look but news of him went out
all the more in every direction and
great numbers of people came together to
give hearing to his words and to be made
well from their diseases but he went
away by himself to a waste place for
prayer and it came about that on one of
these days he was teaching and some
Pharisees and teachers of the law were
seated there who had come from every
town of Galilee and Judea and from
Jerusalem and the power of the Lord was
with him to make those who were ill free
from their diseases and some man had
with them on a bed a man who was ill
without power of moving and they made
attempts to get him in and put him
before Jesus and because of the mass of
people there was no way to get him in so
they went up on the top of the house and
let him down
through the roof on his bed into the
middle in front of Jesus and seeing
their faith here it is again all
healings the person who needs to be
healed those who bring that person who
may be out of their minds or is unable
to formulate whatever they must have
that faith and seeing their faith he
said man you have forgiveness for your
sins
and the scribes and Pharisees were
having an argument saying who is this
who has no respect for God who is able
to give forgiveness for sins but God
only and they are right only God can
give forgiveness for sin but Jesus what
they weren’t seeing is that Jesus is the
Express image of God without sin
holy God in the flesh the spirit in the
flesh blessed be your Lord who from the
beginning was gone
verse 22 but Jesus who had knowledge of
their thoughts said to them why are you
reasoning in your hearts faith does not
reason fate follows blindly which is the
simpler to say you have forgiveness for
your sins or to say get up and go but so
that you may see that on earth the Son
of man has authority for the forgiveness
of sins he said to the man who was ill I
say to you get up
take up your bed and go into your house
and straightaway he got up before them
and took up his bed and went away to his
house giving praise to God which is the
simpler to say you have forgiveness for
your sins or to mention this in an
interesting thing happening when someone
who is ill is brought before the Lord
first you need to have faith that the
Lord can do this second you can’t be in
Pride you can’t be in pride when you are
asked do you have faith you can’t be in
Pride when the Lord says you have
forgiveness for your sins when the word
of the Lord
is brought upon you saying you have
forgiveness for your sins you can’t be
in Pride for pride is not of God and
shows where you are
whoever is in Pride does not have faith
it is simple the Lord says which is
simpler to say you have forgiveness for
your sins or get-up-and-go you have
forgiveness for your sins I pray in
Jesus mighty name amen but so that you
may know and see that on earth in the
flesh the Son of Man the Son of Man the
Son of man has authority for the
forgiveness of sins I say to you get up
whatever your illness may be are you
paraplegic get up
do you have MS get up stand firm you
have control
the Spirit is in control over every
illness are you blind
you can’t speak speak get up and speak
get up and see the great mercy of the
Lord towards you in your faith blessed
be your Lord you have an ailment of an
organ
up turn away from your sin if you are a
diabetic let me give an example if you
are a diabetic turn away from your sin
stop eating what you are eating if you
are pre-diabetic stop eating what you
are eating turn away from it eat the
things that God has told us to eat and
remember remember that the things that
we eat today and call Brad and all of
that these are not really bread in the
beginning the Lord said take grass for
your food remember that remember that
turn away from your sin I’m trying to
make clear what the sin is that gives
certain diseases you have heart disease
turn away from your sin turn away from
doing the things that give you that
disease or make that disease worse you
have a skin condition
eczema rosacea pimples whatever it may
be most likely if you change your ways
if you stop eating what you are eating
you will be he’ll do it in faith not how
I’ll do it but once in a while I need to
have that chocolate I need to have that
oil I need to have this I need to have
that turn away there the connection
between the spirit
and the world get up take up your bed
and go into your house and straight away
straight away the word of the Lord says
he got up before them and took up his
bed and went away to his house giving
praise to God now when you see what in
your lifestyle is causing your disease
the Lord wants to forgive you from going
astray in to that behavior but you must
have faith and just deny it and turn to
the new things to the things of the Lord
blessed be your Lord for giving us
inside wonder will come over all and all
will give glory to God we have seen
strange things to go today Luke 5 verse
26 and wonder overcame them all when the
man stood up when you stand up and he
gave glory to God and they were full of
fear saying we have seen strange things
today
for our Lord came so that sinners people
who were on the wrong way by their own
misguided choices may be turned from
that wrong way back to the right way of
doing things
and the Bible is clear about what the
right way of doing things is Luke 5
verse 27 and after these things he went
out and saw Levi a tax farmer seated at
the place where taxes were taken and
said to him come after me a tax farmer
in ur of tax in those days was the most
despised thing you could do why because
you are taking money from people and
most times they were taking more money
than was necessary for what to improve
their place no to give to the Roman
oppressor so he saw Levi a tax farmer a
sinner seated at the place where taxes
were taken and said to him come after me
come after me
and giving up his business giving up his
business he got up and went after him
and Levi made a great feast for him in
his house
now let’s double back a little Levi had
a lucrative business getting taxes for
the oppressor getting taxes for their
own King and getting some of that tax
for himself for himself but at the call
of Jesus who came so that sinners may be
turned from their sins
Levi turned from his sin and giving up
his business he got up and went after
him and Levi made a great feast for him
in his house and a great number of tax
farmers and others were seated at table
with them and the Pharisees and their
scribes made protest against his
disciples saying why do you take food
and drink with tax farmers and sinners
and those who say they are holy a lot of
times bring railing accusations against
those whom the Lord has saved has
forgiven or wants to save and wants to
forgive if that is your point of view
and Jesus answering said to them those
who are well have no need of a medical
man but those who are ill I have come
not to get the upright but sinners so
that they may be turned
from their sins and they said to him
still not understanding the disciples of
John frequently go without food and make
prayers and so do the disciples of the
Pharisees but your disciples take food
and drink and Jesus said are you able to
make the friends of the newly married
man go without food when he is with them
but the days will come when he will be
taken away from them and then they will
go without food and he said to them in a
story no man takes a bit of cloth from a
new coat and puts it on to an old coat
for so the new coat would be damaged and
a bit from the new would not go well
with the old and no man puts new wine
into old wineskins for fear that the
skins will be burst by the new wine and
the wine will be let out and the skins
come to destruction but new wine has to
be put in new wineskins when you are
turned from your sin if you say you have
fate and turned away from your sin you
can’t keep on doing those old things
many of our illnesses are all
food-related environment-related
once you see that and know that you
can’t go on doing those things you will
only make yourself sicker many of our
mental illnesses are related to pride
greed money money money money once you
see that and you step away from it you
can’t go back to it because when you go
back
to it be it an illness agreed a pride
what will happen the same thing that
happened before it will end badly
and no man verse 39
had having had old wine has any desire
for new for he says the old is better
many who are way into their into what
they’re doing saying they are holy they
are good for doing it for they take care
of this and that they can’t go into the
new thing they can’t go into Christ into
God with us spiritually they can’t
change their old habit that was given
down to them by their forefather they
can’t the Word of God says God wants all
to be saved but not all will be saved I
pray that all may be saved by faith in
Christ Jesus the Express image of God
God with us so that we could see him and
see his example on how to be a person
created but still full with the glory of
God blessed be your Lord who came so
that we sinners for all have gone astray
may be turned from our sins in Jesus
mighty name amen
be turned from your sin whatever it may
be search it out search it out let every
man examine himself and you will see and
if you can’t see go find someone who is
searching it out whom you think may help
you pray to God to send that person on
your way and turn from your sin for
death is what God wants for all of us
that all of us sinners may be turned
from our sins whatever they may be
blessed be your Lord whose purpose is
stated made manifest all you have to do
is receive it in your life
amen amen
