Beloved, in continuance of our theme, “The Glory of the Son of Man” – Conditions in our time have gone from bad to worse. Medical science has failed, in many instances, to cure some of the worst diseases faced by men and women today. The Christian world is beginning to realize that it is possible for health to be restored by the prayer of faith. I say “beginning to realize” because it was once taught that God healed based on moral merit, but today we understand that God has mercy on all of us – including the saints – despite the fact that we are not perfect! The word “mercy” is translated “eleos” in Greek, meaning sympathy (the willingness to feel what another person feels). That is why we are the “Glory of God” – because He feels what we feel. Even though we do not deserve that kind of attention from Him, He gives it to us anyway.
Precious Ones, certain nominal church persuasions have begun to host “weekly healing missions,” preaching healing by the prayer of faith in third world countries and other overlooked areas of the world. Beloved, now is the time for the “Glory of the Son of Man” to shine in this misguided era. How easy it is in this time for God to raise up His people in authority over this generation through a manifestation of His power in us. I am talking about spiritual authority – the kind of which Jesus spoke when He said, “as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him [us] authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man” (John 5:26-27). We, too, can say what Joseph said to His brothers – “I [am] in the place of God” (Genesis 50:19). Beloved, “now are we the sons of God” (I John 3:2) – the “Glory of the Son of Man.” That means we have the same authority!
I will write more later on this subject.
I love you all SO very much.
In His Love,
Pastor William L. McCoy
