The choices we make today determine our tomorrows. If we knew what the consequences were, we would never have made some of our past decisions.   Dr. Stanley poses some questions we should ask ourselves before choosing a path. Jesus says there are only two ways to live. We can walk the godly and righteous path or the path that leads to disappointment and destruction. It all depends on where we want to end up in life and what rules, if any, we want to live by.   Jesus said, “I am the Light of the world; he who follows me will not walk in the darkness, but will have the Light of life” (John 8:12).   If we want to get on the right path, we have to place our trust in Christ as the crucified Savior, ask God to forgive us of our sins, and surrender our lives to Him.

Many of us go through life in bondage to feelings of inadequacy, inferiority, and insecurity. But God doesn’t want us to trust our feelings: He desires that we live by the Truth. Dr. Stanley explains that if we will focus on our position, person, and possessions in Christ, we’ll be set free to fulfill God’s plan for our lives.

First John 1:9 teaches, 'If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.' Yet, we need to consider whether or not we really understand what it means to genuinely confess our sins. Are we confident that God has truly forgiven us? Dr. Stanley shows you how there is much more to confession than simply telling God what you've done. He also instructs you how to be sure that all of your transgressions have been forgiven once and for all.

The human body is a marvelous creation designed to house the Spirit of God. But how should believers respond when their bodies fail to work properly? All too often, Christians react by immediately turning to modern medicine for answers. While there is nothing wrong with using the resources available to us, our trust and hope needs to be firmly placed in the Lord, not doctors or medical treatment. Dr. Stanley teaches about healing from a biblical perspective. He answers common questions such as: - Is sickness a result of sin? - Is it God’s will to heal everyone? - Where do physicians fit in the Lord’s plan for our healing? - Can a lost person expect God to hear his prayers for healing? - Can sickness be profitable in the life of a believer? In addition to tackling these issues, Dr. Stanley reveals the Bible’s teaching on how to handle illness. Using James 5:14, he challenges Christians with health concerns to ask church elders ton anoint them with oil and pray for them in the name of the Lord. Dr. Stanley finishes his message by challenging all believers to consider themselves healing agents of the living God, ready and willing to be used by Him to intercede for others.

For many reasons, it can be difficult for us believe the Bible’s promises regarding physical healing. Maybe we’ve been disappointed in the past or misunderstood biblical teaching on the subject. Or perhaps we simply don’t believe God will perform miracles today as He did in biblical times. Dr. Stanley teaches that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Just as physical healing played a significant role in Jesus’ earthly ministry, it is still important to Him today. Dr. Stanley uses personal examples of modern-day miracles and points to numerous biblical passages that emphasize God’s willingness to supply physical restoration. Dr. Stanley also addresses: - The role of faith in healing - The importance of responding correctly to illness in our lives - How fellow believers should be an integral part of our healing - How God sometimes uses affliction to capture our attention - Why we don’t experience healing every time we ask for it - How to respond when God doesn’t answer our prayers for healing This well-balanced, thoughtful sermon will not only increase your faith for healing but also motivate you to continue to seek the Lord when He doesn’t choose to heal.
