"He sent His word and healed them,
And delivered
them from their
destructions." |
| Isa. 55:10-11 |
"For as the rain comes down, and the
snow from
heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it
bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to
the eater,
So shall My word be that goes forth
from My mouth;
It
shall not return to Me *void (empty),
But it shall accomplish what I
please,
And it shall prosper in the thing for
which I sent it."
 Note: It is the Word
of God that gives the validity to the speaker, not the speaker that gives the
validity to the Word of God. Acts 19:11-17 confirms if you do not have the
power of the Holy Spirit behind you - you can get beat up! We need to put our
attention on the truth of God's Word, and seek Him rather than focusing
on the differences of His people. |

"Now Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in
their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all
kinds of sickness and all kinds of disease among the people." |

I could not help but wonder if the Lord was invited
to preach in this Greek synagogue.

| Matt. 8:5-13 |
"Now when Jesus had entered Capernaum, a
centurion came to Him, pleading with Him, saying, 'Lord, my servant is lying at
home paralyzed, dreadfully tormented.' And Jesus said to him, 'I will
come and heal him.' The Centurion answered and said, 'Lord, I am not
worthy that You should come under my roof. But only speak a word, and my
servant will be healed. For I also am a man under authority, having soldiers
under me. And I say to this one, "Go," and he goes; and to another, "Come," and
he comes; and to my servant, "Do this," and he does it.' When Jesus heard it,
He marveled, and said to those who followed, 'Assuredly, I say to you, I have not found such great faith, not even in Israel! And I say to you that many
will come from east and west, and sit down with Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob in
the kingdom of heaven. But the sons of the kingdom will be cast out into outer
darkness. There will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.' Then Jesus said
to the centurion, 'Go your way; and as you have believed, so let it be
done for you.' And his servant was healed that same hour." |

They entered one of the three doors in this
Capernaum synagogue, and then turned completely around to face Jerusalem
when they prayed. The basalt white foundation is the original 1st century base
from the time of Jesus.

| Mark 7:24-30 |
"And from there He arose and went to the region of
Tyre and Sidon. And He entered a house and wanted no one to know it, but He
could not be hidden. For a woman whose young daughter had an unclean spirit
heard about Him, and she came and fell at His feet. The woman was a Greek, a
Syro-Phoenician by birth, and she kept asking Him to cast the demon out of her
daughter. But Jesus said to her, 'Let the children be filled first, for it is not good to take the children's bread and throw it to the little dogs.'
And she answered and said to Him, 'Yes, Lord, yet even the little dogs
under the table eat from the children's crumbs.' Then He said to her,
'For this saying go your way; the demon has gone out of your daughter.'
And when she had come to her house, she found the demon gone out, and
her daughter lying on the bed." |
| John 4:46-53 |
"So Jesus came again to Cana of Galilee where He had
made the water wine. And there was a certain *nobleman (royal official) whose
son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into
Galilee, he went to Him and implored Him to come down and heal his son, for he
was at the point of death. Then Jesus said to him, 'Unless you people see signs and wonders, you will by no means believe.' The nobleman said to
Him, 'Sir, come down before my child dies!' Jesus said to him, 'Go your way; your son lives.' So the man believed the word that Jesus spoke to
him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him
and told him, saying, 'Your son lives!' Then he inquired of them the hour when
he got better. And they said to him 'Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever
left him.' So the father knew that it was at the same hour in which Jesus said
to him, 'Your son lives.' And he himself believed, and his whole
household." |
