One time my former pastor, the late John Osteen, was reading the Gospels. He read where Jesus said to make things right with men before we offered a gift to God. He read where Jesus spoke powerfully about us forgiving one another, repeatedly and daily, if necessary. He read Jesus' instructions for us to love our enemies and pray for people who mistreated us. He read Jesus' warning that when we hold anger or malice in our hearts towards another person, it puts us on dangerous spiritual ground. Then he read where Jesus healed multitudes of people of all kinds of sicknesses and diseases. After contemplating all that he read that day Pastor Osteen said, "Lord, I don't see where you preached on the subject of healing. I do see where you healed a lot of people, but I want to read your healing sermons." Pastor Osteen then said that God answered him by saying, "All of those things you read about treating other people right, and forgiving people, not being angry with others, and not harboring malice in your heart towards others who have treated you wrong, THOSE WERE MY HEALING SERMONS!"
