Matthew 8

14 And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.

15 And he touched her hand, and the fever left her: and she arose, and ministered unto them.




The first half of this chapter is all about healing and Who heals. The world left Matthew 8 and the Healer and went to outer darkness. We decided who is educated enough to be called healer. We left Matthew 8 when we allowed satan to set up the system of who is on our insurance plan .

I first come to an understanding about Matthew 8 in my 16 days with my brother that had the NDE, before he died . When I had say in his care, I demanded the ambulance take him to a Christian Hospital , God opened that door. My brother had went from the best care possible while his insurance paid, to the no one wanting him when it ran out. He had an aneurysm and stroke at 49, that left him paralyzed. He was not saved when it happened but God allowed all kinds of miracles to happen, in that tormented body before he finally died.

I got the Emergency Room to admit him but almost 20 hours passed that no one came to his room. His main Physician was out of town. I went to Administration and then to the prayer room. When I went back to room there was at least 10 young students standing around his bed. I ask what was going on and Administration had called the Christian college and sent interns. That is what God does if we allow.

The first thing they found was bile was back up into his stomach and if we had went home that night he would have died.

What I learned in those days was many things but the greatest is , the Lord had me ask each person that cared for him , “are you a Christian?” My brother had seen the Light and was sent back for God's purpose... The looks and answers I got is a story in it's self . I have instructed my family if something happens to me, no hands that are not followers of Jesus Christ are to touch me. I would rather die than be treated or healed by any other.

satan was clever in the Garden and Jesus worried what would happen in the dry wood times.

Matthew 8:11 And I say unto you, That many shall come from the east and west, and shall sit down with Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom of heaven. 12 But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

I have long been confused by these words of Jesus. I ask for help today as there is division on what it means.

Matthew 13:38 The field is the world; the good seed are the children of the kingdom; but the tares are the children of the wicked one.

We only have to see all the Children's Hospitals to see what Jesus meant. Matthew 13:38 is clear who the children of the Kingdom are. Outer darkness is any place God is not. Weeping is what is happening around the world everyday , we are in a sickbed. We have went to the outer darkness to seek healing and other things . there is only One that truly heals.

Luke 10:27 And he answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbour as thyself.
I do not think we really understand what that verse means...We can not teach our children to worship God on Sunday and on Monday go to the outer darkness for other needs.

It means we treat others as equals, because we love God.

Every good thing in your life ... comes from the Lord, regardless of whose hands it comes through.

We are in the world ... therefore, ... saved AND unsaved hands are used by God to supply our needs, from banking and finance, to providing employment, to producing food, to building your home, to tending to your ailments, etc.

Remember God using the world (Assyria, Egypt, Babylon, Canaan, Cyrus, Achish, etc.) to accomplish His will for His people Israel ?

Jesus said these words after healing the Roman centurion's servant.

He is, essentially, saying that people from all over the world (i.e. Gentiles) will come into the kingdom ... while many who are "children of the kingdom", through their Hebrew heritage, ... would be cast out through their refusal to believe ...

The Lord prepared me for much opposition I do not argue with people but tell people to go the Word of God and be like a child let Him teach.
If any believe we are to go in the out darkness(out side the Light) for anything then I would suggest reading from Genesis to Revelation again. If any think we are to go to a Buddhist to be healed and God will use that person, then we do not understand , not other gods...

Who do you go to for your water ? Who do you go to for your bread ?

Do they need to be believers ?

People in the world , raised in the world of darkness, think that darkness is light. This is truth all across the united states as well as the rest of the world as members/ posters here on this forum have testified ever since the forum started.
As long as they think darkness is light, why would they seek Yahweh (God) or Jesus for anything ? (hint: they wouldn't and don't).

Try reading the end of Matthew 7 - nothing to do with heritage, in context. It is about whether a person pays lip service to G_d, or not. Yeshua, Paul, Peter, Matthew, Mark, John et al were circumcised Jews living according to G_d's law, not the legalism that Yeshua and Paul raged against. There was no Christian Testament at that time, only the Tanach, which Yeshua and Paul, et al, firmly believed in, and lived by. :)

I'd have to agree with you.

Being a part of God's kingdom has nothing to do with one's physical heritage ...
