JESUS CALLED THE CROOKED STRAIGHT !

JESUS CALLED THE CROOKED STRAIGHT ! When Isaiah prophesied that virgin would conceive and bear a child, that was 750 years before Jesus was born in the earth. It was prophesied. God always prophesies it before it happens. Jesus operating in the same kingdom principle. He walked up to that little woman and said, "you are loose from your infirmity." But when He said that, she wasn't loosed. He was calling for the thing that was not manifest. "And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God." (Luke 13:13). First, Jesus called her the way He wanted her to be. Faith always looks through the storm not at the storm. Faith always sees the in results. When Jesus walked up to this woman, He could see the in results by His faith, so He just called her the way He saw her by faith, loose from that infirmity. Well, many of you are looking at yourselves from a natural standpoint, and you're saying my sickness is this cancer, or mental illness, and as long as you have that attitude of calling it what is yours you'll never get rid of it ! Let's look at the story of Lazarus of Bethany in John 11. "Therefore, saying, Lord, behold, he whom thou lovest is sick. When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the son of God might be glorified thereby. (John 11:3-4). Jesus said, "This sickness is not unto death." What are you going to do with that statement ? For as you read further, you find that Lazarus died. JESUS CALLED THE DEAD LIVING ! Jesus said that this sickness was not unto death but for the glory of God, that the son of God might be glorified thereby. Some say, "Jesus said that Lazarus was sick and did so God will be glorified." It wasn't God's will for Lazarus to be sick. Neither is it God's will for you to be sick. Neither was it God's will for Lazarus to God. Let me show you why you cannot interpret it the Scripture to men this sickness or death was for God's glory. One of the rooms of interpretation is to always take a Scripture literally if you can. But you cannot take verse four literally. If you do, you make Jesus a liar. But there is a difference between a lie and a confession, or calling things that are not. If you interpreted this verse literally, then you would have to say Jesus lied. But a lie is sin, and the Bible says there was no sin in Him. So we have to look at it from a different angle.
