Pastor Ernest Anderson (age 86!) on 15 July 2018 preaches on the Gifts of Healing at City Life International Sheffield Church.

Christ instruction was for the believer to be endued with the power of the Holy Spirit.

“And now I will send the Holy Spirit, just as my Father promised. But stay here in the city until the Holy Spirit comes and fills you with power from heaven.”

Luke 24:49.

Some points of personal note from the video:

• If you are powerless you have nothing to give! That’s why you should prioritise attending Prayer Meetings (personally I loved that one!).
• The healing power of the Holy Sprit is for every believer not something only to be administered by the big evangelists, pastors, leaders etc.
• Jesus Christ did not usher people into Solomon’s Temple for Healing (the modern day church of the time), rather no, he by divine power healed the sick person on the spot wherever he went. This lead to crowds following him because he had something to give unto them.
• We are called to perform the Miracles of Christ and even greater things which means surely that the Gospel should be preached and demonstrated on the streets not just in churches or large crusades. After all that’s how Jesus Christ performed his earthly ministry.
• Its imperative the believer has a soft and kind nature, especially to those in need as without that how is the believer to extend the love and power of God through there own life’s? It is not possible to make a radical difference without the love of God.

Finally, Ernest said “When I come to an end then I come to an end; but Jesus Christ never comes to an end!” (27m:14s). Ernest amongst many other gifts practically and spiritually had a prophetic anointing upon his life.

“Heaven and earth will disappear, but my words will never disappear.”

Matthew 24:35
