Has salvation been preached the wrong way around? Brendan Mc Crossan
Has salvation been preached the wrong way around?
When asking God for a particular word for a healing service that I done in Belfast on Saturday the 8 9 2018, I got a word that said we are preaching the word wrong, and I was asked the question ‘’what did Jesus do first for mankind,’’ and I thought about it and thought salvation and the answer I got was no = healing is what Jesus attained first for man before he went to the crosstosufferforoursins,andtotakethemonhimselfonthecross,andthen killthemashedied,andrising,togiveusNewLifeinhim.

Copyright@9 09 2018 One Who do you think you are I asked myself the other day to even think that salvation hasbeenpreachedthewrongwayaroundforcenturies,orisitjust inthechurcheshereinNorthernIreland,IdonotknowhowotherBornagain churches approach the word of God when they are talking about what Jesus did for everyone. Here in Derry where I live the churches preach salvation only, Jesus dying for their sins, and then they give an altar call, and that’s tremendous,butformetheyleaveoutwhatelseJesusdoneformankind.
And that is healing. Healing in church is only mentioned when someone needs a ‘’wee’’ prayer, and not expecting a miracle, just a nice comforting prayer and it is usually ended by ‘’Lord if it be thy will!’’ a ‘’get-out’’ clause fortheir ‘’unbelief’’ inwhatJesusoursaviordoneforallofus.
ThinkaboutthisasyoureadthewordforyourselfinJohn19.
John 19 King James Version (KJV) 19 Then Pilate therefore took Jesus, and scourged him. 2 And the soldiers platted a crown of thorns, and put it on his head, and they put on him a purple robe, 3 and said, Hail, King of the Jews! And they smote {hit} him with their hands.
10 But it was the Lord’s good plan to bruise him and fill him with grief However, when his soul has been made an offering for sin, then he shall have a multitude of children, many heirs. He shall live again, and God’s program shall prosper in his hands. 11 And when he sees all that is accomplished by the anguish of his soul, he shall be satisfied; and because of what he has experienced, my righteous Servant shall make ‘’many’’ to be ‘’counted righteous’’ before God,’’ for he shall bear ‘’all their sins. ‘’12 Therefore, I will give him the honors of one who is mighty and great because he has poured out his soul unto death. He was counted as a sinner, and ‘’he bore ‘’the sins of many’’, and he ‘’pled with God for sinners.’’
Scourging meant that he was lashed with a whip consisting of nine leaded andcurvedwiretocausetheskintobebrokenthrough,sothatgreatlumpsof fleshandnervesweretornoutofhisbody,andthesoldiersdidthiswithglee. And they whipped him till his body was unrecognizable, till his entire body was just a bloody mess, then they put a crown of thorns on him which tore into his scalp bleeding profusely, now he was covered from head to toe with bloodcoveringeveryporeofhisflesh,andhe ‘’allowed’’ allthistobedone for us. Thisfulfilledtheprophecyof Isaiah 53 intheOldTestamenttellingwhat Jesuswouldsufferformankind. Isaiah 53 Living Bible (TLB) 53 But, oh, how few believe it! Who will listen? To whom will God reveal his saving power? 2 In God’s eyes he was like a tender green shoot, sprouting from a root in dry and sterile ground. But in our eyes there was no attractiveness at all, nothing to make us want him. 3 We despised him and rejected him a man of sorrows, acquainted with bitterest grief. We turned our backs on him and looked the other way when he went by. He was despised, and we didn’t care. 4 Yet it was ‘’our’’ grief [‘’our’’ heartache, anguish, pain, misery, unhappiness] he bore, ‘’our’’ sorrows [‘’our’’ mourning, sadness, distress, regret, trouble.] that weighed him down. And we thought his troubles were a punishment from God, for his own sins! 5 But he was wounded and bruised for ‘’our’’ sins. He was beaten that ‘’we’’ might have peace; he was ‘’lashed’’ and ‘’we’’ ‘’were’’ healed!’’ 6 ‘’we’’ every one of us have strayed away like sheep! ‘’We,’’ who left God’s paths to follow our own, Yet God, laid on him the guilt and sins of ‘’every ‘one’ of us!’’
7 He was oppressed and he was afflicted, yet he never said a word He was brought as a lamb to the slaughter; and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he stood silent before the ones condemning him. 8 From prison and trial they led him away to his death. But who among the people of that day realized it was ‘’their sins’’ that he was dying for that he was suffering ‘’their punishment?’’ 9 He was buried like a criminal, but in a rich man’s grave; but he had done no wrong and had never spoken an evil word.
The cross was the altar for the sacrificial lamb; it was here where Jesus soul wasmadeanofferingforsin; {however, when his soul has been made an offering for sin, then he shall have a multitude of children, many heirs.} This was the last place where Jesus woulddoanythingforman,thoughmanhasnoideawhatGodhasdoneforus through Jesus sacrifice. When Jesus rose into heaven he gave ‘’generous gifts tomen;’’HowmanyChristiansknowwhatgiftshegavethem?
Most Christians know nothing of what Jesus done for them except salvation, and I’m afraid there are very little pastors or leaders teaching them, which leavesthemblindandempty.Whenscripturesays’’Jesusgavegenerousgifts tomen,’’weknowofonegiftandweknowthatwastheHolySpirit,thethird personintheHolyTrinity,andthatsadtosayistheonlygiftthatGodgaveus throughJesusasfarastheyknowandbelieve. It was after Jesus died and rose again, and then later he rose up into heaven after defeating the devil, {Satan} for us, he chained them all up and then draggedthemupandintoheavenandparadedthemallaroundheavennaked. That he gave gifts to men. Jesus didn’t have to give gifts to men, he done enough giving to men, salvation, healing etc to them and they don’t even appreciatethatatall. Two Lashed beyond description 5 But ‘’he’’ was wounded and bruised for ‘’our sins.’’ ‘’He’’ was beaten that we might have peace; ‘’he’’ was ‘’lashed’’—and ‘’we’’ ‘’were’’ healed!’’ Which tookplacefirst, oursinsforgivenandcarriedbyJesus onthecross,or our healing through his lashing? ‘’He’’ was ‘wounded and bruised’ for our sins; then after that ‘’he’’ was beaten that we might have ‘peace’ ‘’then lashed,’’ andwewerehealedthrough ‘’his’’ lashing.

1 Corinthians 1:30
ThefirstthingthatJesusaccomplishedwasbeing wounded for our sins;ashe stood before pilot, Pilot ordered him beaten and bruised and then lashed till an inch from his life; he ordered him scourged; he was beaten for our peace; our peace with God. Then he was lashed for our healing. You cannot separatethegospeljusttosuitachurchwithunbeliefinit;thesethreethings thatJesusdidwasdoneoutofloveofus.

For it is from God alone that you have your life through Christ Jesus. He showed us God’s plan of salvation; he was the one who made us acceptable to God; ‘’he made us pure and holy and gave himself to purchase our salvation.* WhendidJesusmakeuspureandholy?Beforehediedorafterhedied?Itwas after he died; he then gave souls the chance to come and receive ‘’righteousness’’ throughhim,thewordrighteousmeans ‘’to be right before God at all times,’’ virtuous, moral, good, just, upright, blameless, honorable, honest, as well as being made righteous Jesus made us good and pure and holy, and gave us salvation, and this is astounding that we can receivesuchgiftsfromadeadman;butthismandiedforonlya limitedtime, for he went down into hell, when he died on that cross he gave us salvation thatgiftgiventothosewhowouldacceptitafterrepentingoftheirsins.
Satan’skingdomSaintPaulteachesusin Ephesians 4:9 that Christ our Lord descended into Hell after He offered His life on the cross. “Now that He ascended, what is it, but because He also descended first into the lower parts of the earth?” Note here that Hell is described as having “parts” that is the four parts of Hell.’

This is one of the greatest awareness things that Jesus done, for his greatest desirewastobringsoulstoheaven,andnothell,forheneversentanyoneto hell they done all this by themselves. This scripture is making us aware that Jesusfirstdesireinhisheartwas,thattheseangelsorpeoplearebeinggivena second chance, and hopefully they all repented and followed after him, for these souls now knew what hell is like and only a bitter defeated champion would refuse to get into heaven.

Think clearly about this for it is not preached in the churches in Ireland for thereisrarelyanyhealingtakingplaceinthechurcheshere,thoughthereare now some healings taking place in the Catholic churches as God is moving thereamongthem,praiseGod.Butforthemajorityofchurchesespeciallythe born again ones there is little healing taking place, and there should be signs and wonders happening if the church would only obey the word of Jesus in Mark 16 15 if there are no signs and wonders happening, then there is no spiritoperatinginthatchurch,itismainlymanmade.
And the disciples went everywhere preaching, and the Lord was with them and confirmed what they said by the ‘’miracles’’ that followed their messages.’’ Another translation says the signs and wonders will follow believers.

Still later he appeared to the eleven disciples as they were eating together. He rebuked them for their unbelief their stubborn refusal to believe those who had seen him alive from the dead.
Hosea13:14KingJamesVersion(KJV)
“And those who believe shall use my authority to cast out demons, and they shall speak new languages.[c]18 They will be able even to handle snakes with safety, and if they drink anything poisonous, it won’t hurt them; and they will be able to place their hands on the sick and heal them.”
19 When the Lord Jesus had finished talking with them, he was taken up into heaven and sat down at God’s right hand.
14 I will ransom them from the power of the grave; I will redeem them from death:
Three Jesus rebuked his disciples for their stubborn refusal to believe Mark 16 Living Bible (TLB)
15 And then he told them, “You are to go into the entire world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere.16 Those who believe and are baptized will be saved. But those who refuse to believe will be condemned.
If it was you laying there with a disease like leprosy what would excite you moresalvationorhealing?Ipreachboth,andsometimesIwouldlayhandson some sick people especially those in bad pain; and then I would explain how Jesus took their sickness and bore all their diseases, and carried them on his body,andthenofferhissalvation,andpeoplebeinghealedwouldknowthere wasasaviorastheyexperiencedtheirdiseasesdisappear,andthosewatching could see there was a God healing them and for the first time in their lives they would see that God exists, for no one can explain away a sick persons painordiseasedisappearingaway.

Well the large difference means that ‘Jesus first thought’ was for those suffering pain and disease, causing terrible suffering in them and with their familieslookingafterthem.Jesusheartwasforthesickamongthepeoplefor many a time he healed the multitudes before he preached and sometimes he didn’tevenpreach,hejusthealedthemall.
What difference doesitmaketouswhetherJesuswasscourgedfirstornot?

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord was working with them and confirming the word by the ‘’signs’’ that followed.]
So the apostles wentoutpreachingthegoodnewsto everyone everywhere; and ‘’healing the sick’’. How did the sick know that healing was there’s to have? Because the apostles explained that Jesus not only died for their sins, but that he took onto his body before that, in the scourging at the pillar, he Jesustook‘’theirsicknessanddiseases!’’‘Whatisthemostimportantmessage thatapersonwhoissickwithterriblediseases;’{andinthosedaystherewasalmost no cure for any sickness or disease, and in fact scripture says a lot of those diseases were from demonicpower,}‘wanttohear?’
What Jesus done for us is equally important, for it was all for us that he allowed his suffering to be, and he could have stopped this at any time by callingontheFathertochangehismind,andavoidthisterriblesuffering.
There is no difference between the one who plants and the one who waters; God will rewardeachoneaccordingtotheworkeachhasdone. I gave then the gospel just as Jesus gave it to me. One day as I was walking through the local shopping centre the Holy Spirit spoke to me one word and

Why am I saying wehaveitwrong?Wellhealingisnotusuallytakingplacein churchesexceptforafewhereandthere.Thereisnofaithinthedivine word that Jesus would suffer at the scourging at the pillar, so that first those sick and suffering could be healed. Have you ever suffered so much pain that you couldn’t care less what someone is saying, have you suffered cancer, and listened to someone preach salvation.
