Bishop Noel Jones - Wednesday Bible Study - July 22, 2026

Main message: After God brings healing or deliverance, the proper response is immediate, practical gratitude — returning to serve others, give testimony, and engage in discipleship — because united prayer and humble thanksgiving allow God’s power to multiply through the community.

Key points:

• The healing of Peter’s mother‑in‑law (Mark/Luke account) models an immediate response of service: she was healed and "rose and served" at once.
• Gratitude must be practiced, not merely felt; serve first at home, then in church and out in the streets.
• Corporate, intercessory prayer (many people praying together) releases God’s power; the sermon emphasized the impact of tens of thousands praying for the bishop’s recovery.
• Don’t hoard your miracle or treat blessings as owed; share your testimony so others are freed and led to Jesus.
• God heals in many ways and at different times (during worship, at home, at night); discipleship and personal relationships matter in sustaining change and spreading healing.

Scriptures mentioned: Mark 1:29-31, Luke 4:38-39, Luke 17 (ten lepers), Acts 1:8, Jeremiah 29:11, general references to Matthew/Mark/Luke accounts of the healing.
