Divine Healing

Divine Healing
Margaret D. Mitchell 
Hebrews 13:8 -Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.
One day, when I was working as a flight attendant, a male passenger stopped me and asked for a bag of ice. His face appeared distressed, and I could see that he was in pain. I asked him what was the matter, and he said that he had just had knee surgery and that he had run out of pain medicine. At that moment, I knew that God had put me in this man's path for a purpose. So I promptly walked into the galley, scooped a bunch of ice into a plastic bag, spun the top around and lifted it up to God. I asked God to take away the man's pain and to heal his knee expeditiously. Then I gave the makeshift ice pack to the man and continued to serve surrounding passengers.
I kept an eye on the man, and after I finished my service, I approached him again. I could tell from the look on his face that he was still hurting. Indeed, he confirmed that some of the pain was gone, but not all. He explained that he had experienced several injuries and surgeries on his knee from playing years of tennis.
As I stood in the aisle listening to this man's story, I felt a righteous indignation rise up in me. I simply could not stand to see him in pain. And I felt strongly compelled by the Holy Spirit to pray for this man. So I asked him if I might do so. I believe it was out of sheer desperation that he agreed. So he removed the ice pack, and I knelt in the aisle, right in first class, which was full of on looking passengers. I began to pray softly, out loud. I was uncomfortable with everyone staring, but I continued to pray because I knew I was to step up, be bold, share the heart of Jesus and do what Jesus would have done for this man according to the gospels.
When I finished praying, I looked up at the man, and I asked Him how his knee felt. He slowly opened his eyes and smiled carefully. Then a surprised look appeared across his face, and he said quietly, "All the pain is gone." He smiled big, and he asked me if it was magic. I shared with him it was the healing power of God and that the Father of the universe loved him with an everlasting love so great that He didn't want him to hurt anymore. The man's eyes began to well up with tears. And I asked him whether he knew Jesus. He replied that he was "a non-practicing Methodist." As I began to explain to him about having a personal relationship with Jesus, I wondered whether this man had anyone else to pray for him. Just the thought of the possibility that he might not broke my heart, and I was reminded, once again, that my higher purpose in my workplace was to reach out to others with the heart of Jesus.
What a perfect mission field our workplaces are! When we consider that fulltime workers spend at least 50% of their waking hours on the job, it makes sense that we Christians are to show up for more than a paycheck. The miracle of healing is one way Jesus demonstrated His love for others and boosted their faith throughout the gospels, and He still does today. Hebrews 13:8 tells us that God is the same yesterday, today and forever.
Healing opportunities abound, and they are not all physical. Sometimes they are emotional or spiritual.
Ask the Lord to show you who among you is in need of healing, and ask Him to enable you to meet that need through His healing power. You could find that the people He identifies may not have anyone else praying for them.

Grace is Always the First Word

Grace is Always the First Word
Pastor Marvin Williams 
The film Amazing Grace chronicles William Wilberforce as he endeavors to end the British transatlantic slave trade in the nineteenth century.
Wilberforce had made an earlier visit to his old pastor and friend John Newton. Newton was a former captain of a slave ship prior to his conversion to Christ, and Wilberforce was hopeful that Newton would give an account of his slave-ship days. Newton, however, refused to do so, because the experience and the "20,000 ghosts" haunted him too greatly.
Now, near success in ending the slave trade, Wilberforce visited Newton and discovered that he had recorded his account. His eyesight now gone, Newton said to Wilberforce, "You must use it. Names, records, ship records, ports, people -- everything I remember is in here. Although my memory is fading, I remember two things very clearly: I'm a great sinner, and Christ is a great Savior." It was apparent that John Newton had recognized the depth of his sin and opened the door to experience God's amazing grace in his life.
entire families, committed murder (at least with a gun or a knife), or grand larceny of the human kind. Yet when I think about what we were, we were just as far from God as Newton was before he became a follower of Jesus.
According Romans 5:12-21, we were natural born sinners. We were born in Adam, born in sin, and born condemned. We came out of the womb saying no to God and his purposes for our lives. We were dead in our sins and trespasses. We lived according to the passions of our sinful nature. We were, by nature, children of wrath.
We were liars
We were thieves
We were cheaters
We were swindlers
We were adulterers
We were idolaters
We were greedy
We were disrespectful
We thought we were God.
We lived like practical atheists
We were angry.
We were jealous and envious
We were drunkards
We were ungrateful
We were enemies of God
We were rotten to the core
There was nothing grimmer than our Pre-Christ hopelessness. But God.
In Ephesians 2:4, however, Paul uttered the greatest phrase of hope and grace in human speech: "But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, But God, . . .made us alive together with Christ-- by grace you have been saved"
God showered his grace on us, and this grace flowed from his loving heart, not based on anything we did to deserve it. When we believed in and embraced Jesus as our Savior and Lord (which was an act of grace) - God gave us new spiritual life within. Praise God!
Therefore, our response to this amazing grace is another word that is built on the word grace, "thank you." God gives us something that we don't deserve, so he can get the desired responses, which are praise and thanksgiving. Grace is always the first word and "thank you" should always be the second.
Today, spend some time thinking about God's amazing and saving grace.

Is Healing For All?

Is Healing For All?
Dr. Frederick K.C. Price 

There are seven scriptural methods whereby you can receive your healing.
I believe the prayer of faith is the highest form of prayer to receive healing.
In Mark 11:24 Jesus said,
Therefore, I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray,
Believe that you receive them, and you will have them.
Well, is Jesus a liar or does He tells the truth? He tells the truth!
He says, "Whatever things you ask...."
Wouldn't that have to include healing? Yes, it does.
Therefore, it must be God's will to heal. Otherwise
He could not make that kind of bold declaration.
"Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray"
-not after you pray, not a month later, not when you see something,
not when you understand it, but "when you pray,
believe that you receive them, and you will have them."
If you believe you receive them you will confess that,
"Bless the Lord-I believe I am healed,
I believe I have received my healing."
Now, once you make a faith confession
you are going to get opposite from the enemy.
His motive is to move you off your faith confession.
Someone might say...
"Yes, but you don't look like you are healed."
I didn't say, "I look like I'm healed," I said, "
I believe that I received my healing."
"Yes, but how do you feel?"

"Bless God, I am not going by how I feel-
I am going by what I believe-and I believe
I am healed, in Jesus' Name."
"Yes, but that doesn't make sense."
"That's right; it is not sense, it's faith."
"Yes, but that's illogical."
"You're right again; it's not logic, it's faith."
"Yes, but I just don't understand that."
"I don't understand how it works either,
 but I believe it is true because God said it in His Word."
Listen friend, I don't understand how television works,
 but I believe if I turn it on, I can watch a movie.
The fact that I don't understand
how it works does not stop me from enjoying
the benefits of watching my favorite TV programs in living color.
I don't understand how a gasoline engine works.
I don't understand how it works inside without blowing up
the whole thing. Instead of blowing up it pushes
a piston down that drives a crank-shaft that turns
 a drive-shaft to the rear wheels that turns the wheels
when you put it in gear that moves the car forward.
I don't understand it, but I could care less-all
I want to know is that when I turn that thing on and put it in gear,
it is going and that is all that I'm concerned about. How about you?
I don't know how an airplane stays up in the sky,
as big as a 747 is-that thing is gigantic. How does it stay up in the air?
 The good news is that I don't have to understand it to
get on the plane and fly from Los Angeles to Hawaii or
somewhere else. All I have to do is believe the plane can fly me there,
get on board and go. After all, that is what you want anyway-the results-right?
Praise God! You don't have to do any more than believe that
you receive your healing based on the Word of God and you shall have it!
Is healing for all? I believe that it is so.
I believe that I can walk in divine health all the days of my life.
I believe and confess that I will never be sick and I'm not being presumptuous.
 The Bible says in Psalm 91:1, "
He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall
abide under the shadow of the Almighty."
I believe I'm right in there under His right wing-right up under that wing.
 God Himself said in verse 10, "...
No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling."
 Whose dwelling place is God talking about?
My dwelling place because I am under His shadow of protection.
What is a plague? Isn't that sickness and disease?
God said, ""...No evil shall befall you,
nor shall any plague come near your dwelling."
Well, I guess God lied. No, He is not a man that
He should lie. He went on to say, in verse 16,
 "With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.
" Praise God! Healing is for all.
Oh, that's not to say I'm not attacked. I'm attacked.
The devil just sits like a blood hound-every morning
I wake up he's sitting right on the foot of the bed.
Sometimes he throws that dart the right way,
but it doesn't stop me and it won't stop me because
 I'm being strong-not in Fred Price-but I'm being "
strong in the Lord and in the power of His might."

The Spiritual Test

The Spiritual Test
Dr. Michael Youssef

We can all remember our school days when we were faced with exams.
We spent all day in school-and still we panicked when it came to test time.
Why? Perhaps it's because our time in the classroom was only one part of the learning process. The other part was time at home engaging with the material through homework, worksheets, and flashcards-all designed to prepare us for exams and to make sure we had a grasp of the material and were headed in the right direction.
The exam brought panic because it was the culmination of all of our hard work and the measure of our direction and mastery of the material.
These exams and tests were for our benefit.
They measured our growth, highlighted our strengths and weaknesses, and guided us to the paths we should take.
The same is true of our spiritual lives. We face tests and exams on a spiritual level, but they count for greater consequences because the results of these tests are indicators of our eternal future.
We must examine ourselves with the guidance of the Holy Spirit and always be ready to be tested. Always being ready for exams is foundational to a positive life in Christ. Throughout 2 Corinthians, the Apostle Paul wrote about all that God taught him and what gave him power to live positively in Christ in the midst of fear, trepidation, imprisonment, and flogging.
In his conclusion to this letter he says, "Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves!" (2 Corinthians 13:5, NASB).
The Corinthians of old fell into the trap that some of our modern educators have fallen into today. If students are not keeping up and succeeding in school, some believe that the standards must be too high-so they lower the standards. The problem is that lowering the standards and changing the curriculum doesn't insist on accountability.
When we refuse to examine ourselves on a regular basis we are taking God's grace and salvation for granted. But don't miss the fabulous news: In this test that the Bible talks about, we can be always a success. Even those who fail the test can succeed.
If you examine yourself on a daily basis and find that you are in the faith, then you will be overjoyed by His grace and mercy and will give God the glory. But if you examine yourself and find that you have moved away from the truth, then God has given you an engraved invitation to repent and to return to the truth.
God promised in His Word to receive anyone who turns to Him. The moment you come face to face with the reality that you have departed from the faith by sinning gravely and you repent, God in His grace and mercy receives you. He embraces you. He forgives you. He restores you. You are, again, overjoyed by His grace and mercy and give God the glory.
Either way, God is glorified. Examine yourself.

Consider Your Ways

 Consider Your Ways
Pastor Paula White 

When something bad happens to us,we are often quick to ask,

"Why me, God?" Or, when somethinggood happens to someone else,
we may ask, "Why not me, God?"
In God's Word, we are instructed to ask questions of
Ourselves about ourselves when things are not going as
We had planned or desired. Haggai 1:5 - 6, tells us to
"Consider your ways" to find the root of many problems:
Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts;Consider your ways.
Ye have sown much, and bring in little;ye eat, but ye have not enough;
ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink;ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and
he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
In other words - if you feel like you're trying and trying,
 but still not succeeding, it might be time to "consider your ways!"
It's time to consider what you are thinking...
what you're saying...and what you're doing.
Although asking tough questions of ourselves can be painful,
 it is also often the key to breaking the mindsets,
belief systems, and behaviors that keep us from truly achieving our goals in life.
It's true that you might get uncomfortable
looking at yourself with such deep, introspective consideration.
 You might not like all that you see when you stare long andhard into the depths of your own soul.
But you must be willing to identify, and then confront,
those things inside of you that continue to keep you from victory.
 Remember: you can't conquer what you don't confront!
A man once told me it took him two years to venture into
his basement after he'd moved into a new home.
When he finally descended the staircase,he didn't like what he saw!
"I found evidence of critters that had made their way through
a broken window screen; there was rust onthe water heater that was troublesome;
there was debris everywhere, and the critters had made
their way into boxes of old clothing andpaperwork I'd put there when I first moved in. It was a mess!"
It took the man four weekends and two trips to thecity dump to get the basement in good order;
but after he'd accomplished the job, he said,"I felt like I'd moved a mountain.
Nobody else was aware of the work I'd done,
but I certainly slept better at night knowing thatI had a reliable water heater, and
a clean organized basement I could actually use."
Cleaning out, sorting, or repairing the damage in
your inner self is very much like the work thatman had to do to clean out his wreck of a basement.
It's hard work - and nobody else may see orappreciate what you're doing. But it's incredibly beneficial,
and may be the key to restoring order to things inyour life that are out of order.
So take the first step and "consider your ways" to break through to victory, God's way!
Transform Lives, Heal Hearts and Win Souls.

God Mission Possible: Turn Your Devastation Into Regeneration

Empower Your Tongue With The Word Of God

Empower Your Tongue With The Word Of God
Pastor Paula White 
There are literally hundreds of Bible verses dealing with "the tongue" ...about what we should or shouldn't say or speak...and the power of words over our lives. 
One of the bluntest statements on this topic is found in Proverbs 18:21: 
Death and life are in the power of the tongue...
God's Word encourages us to give expression to our noblest and highest thoughts. Thoughts give rise to spoken words. When we "speak life" we are thinking and expressing out of our faith in God's Word, in obedience to His will, 
and in appreciation of His blessing over our lives. 

Proverbs 21:23: Whosoever keepeth his mouth and 
his tongue keepeth his soul from troubles.
To empower our tongue to speak blessing over our lives and the lives of others,
 one of the best things we can do is learn to speak God's Word spontaneously in response to life situations. Speaking God's Word is also how we encourage and motivate ourselves. It's how we activate our faith. 
Philippians 4:13: I can do all things through Christ which strengthens me.
At some point in our past, perhaps words were spoken to us, at us, or over us that didn't match up with what God intends for our lives. Rather than replaying "old tapes" in your head -- of the "negative talk" that's been said to you or about you -- it's important to start making new tapes. Fill your mind -- and your mouth! -- with positive statements that you can speak and affirm over your life...that match up with what God has decreed for you. 
Psalm 40:3: And he hath put a new song in my mouth, even praise unto our God...
Remind yourself of God's desire to bless you. Speak words of truth to yourself about His plans for you! Just as you speak and write affirmations to yourself, admonish yourself, too. To admonish is to advise - and sometimes, insist! Think of admonition as "preaching to yourself." When you admonish yourself, you are preaching what you know you need to hear! Speak to yourself what you know to be the truth of God's Word, and His commandments given to bless your life.
Here are some possible suggestions:
"God wants me to have good health - physically, emotionally, and spiritually."
"God wants me to have good relationships - with family and friends who will love and value me."
"God wants me to have peace in my heart - calm assurance that He will always protect me and provide for me in personal and eternal ways."
Speaking words like these, and repeating Bible verses that inspire you throughout the day, will strengthen your faith, draw you closer to God in intimate and abiding relationship, and empower you to lead a life of victory through Christ.
So watch your mouth, and empower your tongue -- with the Word of God!

The Power Of The Tongue

The Power Of The Tongue
Dr. Zachary Tims, Jr. 

No matter what the world may say, life is NOT short. 
It is a long journey of experience as we strive to navigate through life's cycles. 
Even the best of us hit the curbs, the bumps, the pits, and struggle in the valleys.
 "Many are the afflictions of the righteous, but the Lord delivers us from them all." 
God in His divine foreknowledge, purpose, and 
plan has made provisions for us to get through the hard places in life. 
This is a message on the Valley of Dry Bones that will set you free.
In Ezekiel 37, there were a lot of problems going on in the Valley of Dry Bones. 
The children of Israel were a mess. They were scattered, disconnected, disjointed and dead. God asked Ezekiel if the dry bones could live, and Ezekiel told God, "You know."
Then God commanded Ezekiel to speak to the dry bones, "hear the word of the Lord." With the power of God in his tongue, Ezekiel spoke the word to the dry bones, "...and you shall live!" and they came back to life. 
The power of the tongue can heal and deliver. Your problems will respond when you start speaking the right things to them. God will turn it around in your favor. He will resolve your problems when you receive the Word of the Lord, and start speaking it over your life...."Weeping may last for a night, but joy comes in the morning." "...for this too shall pass."
"God is going to make a way for me, for with God nothing is impossible." 
"I can do all things through Christ who gives me the strength." 
"I've never seen the righteous forsaken or his seed begging for bread." 
Yes, the power of the tongue will send a message to hell, "devil, I'm coming back and the gates of hell cannot prevail against me!" 
What do you say to the scattered bones of your dreams, and the dried up promises in your valley? "What say ye?" You use the power of your tongue to speak to your situation, "Live!" You have to resolve to make life happen. The issues of cancer, violent relationships, failures, employment challenges, financial problems, and every adversity the devil tries to put on you in your negative cycles are subject to the power of the tongue. It must go! 
Use your tongue to bring others out of the valley. Remember to sow the seed of encouragement into other people's lives, even if you too are going through the valley. 
Life is not short, the journey is long and problems may keep coming. Yet, the power of the tongue must say, "Hear ye the Word of the Lord, these dry bones shall live!"

A Donkey’s Biography

A Donkey’s Biography

One day I got a Prophecy that 
“One Righteous King will Ride on you”. 
I was waiting for the King. While I was waiting for a King,

a man whose name is Balaam took me as his servant.

I was with him many days. 
He was a prophet.
Many times God said to him “don’t go with the princess of Moab”

I also heard it. Because he was greedy of money,he went there.

God’s anger was aroused and He sent an Angel and took

His Stand in the way as an adversary against him. 
The princess of Moab and others were saying 
He was a prophet, but he did not see the 
Angel of Lord Standing in the way with 
His drawn sword in His hand.
By His Grace He showed me His Angel 
And Fear of The Lord came on me and 
I turned aside out of the way and went into the field.

I was under His guidance,
However, the man name Balaam could not see the Angel and he struck me. 
Again, Angel of The Lord stood in a narrow path between the vineyards,
There were two walls; one on this side and one on the other side.

I saw the Angel of The Lord again 
I crushed Balaam’s foot against the wall,
 However, he struck me again. 
“Then the angel of the LORD moved on ahead 
And stood in a narrow place 
Where there was no room to turn,

either to the right or to the left”Numbers: 22:26. 

 
Then I lay down under Balaam.  
He struck me with his staff.
 I was in obedience to the Lord. He thought 
I had abused him. He planned to kill me.
 At last, God revealed Himself before him.
He saw the Angel of The Lord standing in the way 
with His drawn sword in hand.
 
Again, I was waiting for the fulfillment of His prophecy,

which God said to me 
“One Righteous King will Ride on you”.

Again, 
I waited! Waited! Waited
 for the Great Day.

Now I was in this situation like Jawbone.

Then a man; name Samson took me in his hand and killed a thousand men.

“Then Samson said, 
"With a donkey's jawbone 
I have made donkeys of them.  
With a donkey's jawbone 
I have killed a thousand men”Judges: 15:16.

Again, 
I waited! Waited! Waited 
for the Great Day.

Then The Spirit of The Lord came upon me
 And said 
“O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD!

Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: 
“Surely I will cause breath to enter into you, 
And you shall live.
I will put sinews on you and bring flesh upon you, cover you with skin and 
Put breath in you; and you shall live.

Then you shall know that I am the LORD.”Ezk: 37:4-6.
 while the Prophecy was coming upon me I heard a Noise and

I heard a Prophecy to the winds that 
“Come from the four winds,
 O breathes, and breathes on these slain, 
That they may live.”’Ezk: 37:10. 
After that, I stood on the feet and got Great strength. 
Then I stayed there near to Bethpage and

Bethany at the mountain called Olivet. 
I forgot about the Prophecy that
 “One Righteous King will Ride on you”. 
But He did not forget the Prophecy, 
which He said to me.
While I was simply staying there like Moses:
 “Moses was tending the flock of Jethro his father-in-law,

the priest of Midian, 
And saw that though the bush was on fire 
It did not burn up”
 I also heard a sound like Moses heard.

It was Jesus’ Two disciples Sound. 

 

Jesus said to them about me that 
“You will find a colt tied. Loose it and bring it here. While they were loosing me, 
Some persons asked to them 
“Why are You loosing the Colt ?. They said, 
“The Lord has Need of him” 
I was Amazed that There were many chariots, horses and Big Angels also with Him
 And for Him, but He is asking me for Himself. 

I had a question in my mind;
 “Why He is asking for me? 

 

Then they brought me to Jesus and they threw
 Their own Good Clothing on me and 
They set Jesus on me.

Not only that many spread their clothes on the road.
Then I heard a sound. 
“When he came near the place where the road 
Goes down the Mount of Olives, 
The whole crowd of disciples 
Began joyfully to praise God in 
Loud voices for all the miracles they had seen: 

 

"Blessed is the King who comes in the 
Name of the Lord!"
"Peace in Heaven and Glory in the Highest!"
Luke: 19:37, 38. 
Now I am remembering the Prophecy, 
which God said to me years before. 
“One Righteous King will Ride on you”.
He is fulfilling His prophecy in 
His Own Way.
 
Thank God.

Lord 
You are Worthy 
I am unworthy 

I worshiped Him and He gave me His Joy in me.
"Blessed is the King who comes in the 
Name of the Lord!"
"Peace in Heaven and Glory in the Highest!"
