BIBLE TEACHINGS

This document was prepared and printed as a
Bible teaching reference help for preachers and
teachers of the Liberia Inland Church, and other
interested English-speaking Christians. It is now
made freely available on the Internet because of the
warm welcome and wide use it has received.

Note that the context is clearly Liberian-African and
the studies take more or less account of African realities.

The authors, June Jackson assisted by her husband Tom, 
WEC missionaries, were killed in 1990 when attacked 
during the war in Liberia.

When Jesus died and rose again,
He showed His power over all other powers.

Those who are in Jesus are above all other powers.
Eph. 2.1-6
They are saved from other power.

How can we know whether the power in a person is from God?

• Not all the power people say comes from God is really from God.

What should a Christian do if he gets sick?
David prayed for God to heal him.
Ps. 6.2

Hezekiah prayed for God to heal him.
2 Kings 20.2-3, 5
James said that the sick man should
call for the elders of the church.

What should the elders do?
They should pray for the man.
They should put oil on the man
in the name of the Lord.
The prayer of faith will heal the man.
Jas. 5.14-15

Should we pray over the oil?
No. James said we should pray for the man.

Should we use water to help us?
The Bible does not tell us to use water
to heal people, or to drink it to help us.

Should we make special oil?
The Bible does not tell us to do that.
The oil James talked about was the oil
the people used in their homes all the time.
God told the people of Israel to make a
special oil to put on the tabernacle, and to
anoint the priests. He did not tell them to
use it to heal people.
Ex. 30.25-30
Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit.
Acts 10.38
When Jesus was anointed with the Holy Spirit,
He went around healing people.
Acts 10.38

Does God put power in the oil?
No. James says the thing that heals
the man is the prayer of faith.

If they do not put oil on a sick man,
does it mean he cannot be healed?
That is not so.
A sick man can be healed without using oil.
The Bible does not say that Jesus
used oil when He healed people.
The disciples did not always use
oil when they healed the sick.
Oil and water do not heal people.
The prayer of faith heals people.

they said it was faith in the name of Jesus that made the man well.
Acts 3.16

No. James did not say that.
When Jesus sent His disciples to the towns
to preach and heal people, He said to them,
"Freely you have received; freely give." Matt. 10.8
It does not cost anything to put oil on a person,
so we should not tell them to pay anything.
The thing that God gives freely cannot be bought with money.
Acts 8.20

Should we drink the oil?
No. The Bible says we must put the oil on the person.

Should we keep a bottle of oil in the house to help us?
No. There is no power in the oil at all.
God does not put His power in things.
All of God's power is in His Son Jesus.
Matt. 28.18
If we put our faith in a bottle of oil or a bottle of water, we are putting something
in the place of God. He wants us to put our faith in Him.
Mark 11.22
When we put our faith in something else, that thing is an idol to us.
When we keep a bottle of oil or a bottle of water in our homes,
it is like keeping an idol there.
God says we not to have anything to do with idols.
Ex. 20.4; 1 John 5.21

Will God always heal us?
The Bible says there is a time to heal.

when they turned back to Him.

One time God's people asked Him to show His power in this way.

Sometimes God allows His people to be sick.
Job was sick.
Job 2.7
God used Paul to heal people, and
at one time did special miracles by his hands.

But another time, one who was
with Paul was sick, and he did not heal him.
2 Tim. 4.20
Paul himself had trouble in his body.
2 Cor. 12.7

Should we call people to come and be healed?
The Bible does not say that.

and sick people will come to them, or be brought to them,
or people will come and call them.
Matt. 9.26; Luke 5.15

Should we tell people to go and heal the sick?
Jesus is the one who tells people to go and heal the sick.
He told His disciples to go and heal the sick.
Matt. 10.7-8; Luke 9.2; 10.3, 9
He gave them power to heal the sick before they went.
Matt. 10.1; Luke 9.1
Through His Spirit, He gives gifts of healing to some.
1 Cor. 12.9
He is the one who gives the power
to those whom He chooses to do that work.

Should we look for people to heal?
Jesus healed people as He went about serving God.

What do we need to remember?
In all these things, let us be careful not to add anything to God's Word.
Rev. 22.18
Everything else will pass away -- God's Word will never pass away.
Matt. 24.35
