Topic: Give God the Glory
Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; so shall ye be my disciples. – John 15:8
There’s an old Full Gospel tradition that says God gets glory from the beautiful way His children bear pain and agony and that the world is impressed by that. What a lie! That’s simply a tool of the devil to keep God’s children in bondage.
People of the world already have all the pain and agony they want. They need to look for a way into it. They are looking for a way out. They don’t care what you preach. It’s the religious people who get worried about that. The world, the sinners, are more intelligent than that. All they care about are the results.
That’s why they’ll come to your church when they hear people are getting healed, delivered, and set free from suffering. That’s what they’re looking for. That’s what God wants them to receive.
The Bible says that God gets glory when they see the lame walk and the blind see (Matthew 15:31). Jesus said, “Herein is My Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit” (John 15:8). What is that fruit? Lives are being restored and healed by the power of God.
There was a man who came to one of our healing meetings who was so far gone with cancer he had almost no energy or life about him. He didn’t even know the L, but he came expecting a miracle. During the miracle service, the Lord told Ken someone was being healed of cancer in the glands, in the throat, and in the chest. When the man came up and received his healing, he said, “I left the hospital this morning with cancer, and I’m healed.” He returned to the hospital that afternoon; the doctors checked and dismissed him. As a result, the man received Jesus as his Lord, and later that day he was restored to his wife from whom he’d been separated. He was born again, and his marriage was put back together in one day!
Now that’s fruit! That brings God glory. When we minister healing and deliverance like Jesus on the earth, that brings God glory. Let’s do away with religious tradition and follow the Word. Let’s impress the world with Jesus and give God the credit today!
