THE BASIC KEYS TO RELEASING THE LORD’S HEALING ANOINTING IN,
ON OTHERS, OURSELVES
Basic Statements:
1)
Focus on God, His word, his promises, Jesus, not on yourself or the
others at all, do forget everything else, worship Him, God, Jesus
alone...
(Gen 20:17
KJV) So Abraham prayed unto God: and God healed Abimelech, and his wife,
and his maidservants; and they bare children.
Take
the initial step.. start a ongoing relation with Jesus through your ongoing
personal prayer, communication with God.
It is not God's ability to heal others too that is the
key issue but clearly our own personal lack of unpracticed faith, our
own lack of prayer.. for we are firstly too secular, too worldly minded too
often to be used spiritual by God. .
(Eccl 3:11
KJV) He hath made every thing beautiful in his time: also he hath set
the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh
from the beginning to the end.
(Mat 6:24
KJV) No man can serve two masters: for either he will hate the one, and
love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye
cannot serve God and mammon.
(1 John 2:15
KJV) Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If
any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him. 16 For all that
is in the world, the lust of the flesh, and the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life, is not of the Father, but is of the world. 17 And the
world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God
abideth for ever.
(Mark 3:27
KJV) No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods,
except he will first bind the strong man; and then he will spoil his
house.
(Rev 3:8
KJV) I know thy works: behold, I have set before thee an open door, and
no man can shut it: for thou hast a little strength, and hast kept my word,
and hast not denied my name.
2) As an obedient, humble, faithful servant of God
continually daily do Ask God by faith for the Holy Spirit’s power
to be released, to see it, and do beforehand by faith thank God for it .
Promise and give God all, all of the credit for the healings, miracles, works
of God, do not take any, any of it for yourself, for it will be deadly for
your own spirituality next if you do.. Pride still is a deadly
sin.
(Psa 51:17
KJV) The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite
heart, O God, thou wilt not despise.
(Isa 8:15
KJV) And many among them shall stumble, and fall, and be broken, and be
snared, and be taken.
(Ezek 34:16
KJV) I will seek that which was lost, and bring again that which was
driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that
which was sick: but I will destroy the fat and the strong; I will feed them
with judgment
(2 Cor 4:7
KJV) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency
of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are troubled on every
side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; 9 Persecuted,
but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10 Always bearing about
in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be
made manifest in our body.
(James 4:3
KJV) Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume
it upon your lusts.4 Ye adulterers and adulteresses, know ye not that the
friendship of the world is enmity with God? whosoever therefore will be a
friend of the world is the enemy of God.5 Do ye think that the scripture saith
in vain, The spirit that dwelleth in us lusteth to envy? 6 But he giveth
more grace. Wherefore he saith, God resisteth the proud, but giveth grace unto
the humble.
3)
Rely on the direct input from the Holy Spirit, listen to him before
you do even next pray, Engage the Prayer-type that the Spirit leads you to
pray..
(John 5:19
KJV) Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto
you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for
what things soever he doeth, these also doeth the Son likewise.
(John 15:5
KJV) I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in
him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do
nothing.
(2 Cor 13:8
KJV) For we can do nothing against the truth, but for the
truth.
4) Dipstick (Check personally for the full filling of
the Oil of the Holy Spirit) and Remove the personal Blocks
(1 John 1:9
KJV) If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our
sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
The
Confession of sins, restitution might be first required by the person being
prayed for as well.
(James
5:14 KJV) Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the
church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the
Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise
him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye
may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much.
5)
Next do hold in your mind the detailed faith-picture of the
person healed as given to you by God , and do not waver, do continue to thank
God soley for it
(James 1:6
KJV) But let him ask in faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is
like a wave of the sea driven with the wind and tossed. 7 For let not that man
think that he shall receive any thing of the Lord. 8 A double minded man
is unstable in all his ways.
6)
Differentiate between a miracle and a healing.. Miracles are
instantaneously while Healing my have a time element.. but all healings,
miracles too can be certified by medical
doctors.
7)
By faith in God hold on to the healing recognizing that false symptoms
counterfeit by the devil can come next instead and cause you to doubt, even to
lose your healing.
(John 5:14
KJV) Afterward Jesus findeth him in the temple, and said unto him,
Behold, thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto
thee.
(John 5:15
KJV) The man departed, and told the Jews that it was Jesus, which had
made him whole.
(John 8:11
KJV) And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and
sin no more.
Expanded
Statement:
1) See Jesus
transfigured in God’s light (Matt. 17:1-8), forget yourself, and worship
Him in your spirit. (Bib. Found. sec. III-IV)
2) Ask for and see
Jesus’ divine healing light and power radiating onto and into the
person; see it focused on the infirmity, and thank the Lord that the
anointing is being released and coming in. (Bib. Found. sec. III,VI-VII)
3) Engage the prayer-type that the Spirit leads you
to--petition, command, or pronouncement; if led by the Spirit to use
command prayer, you may first command the pain to leave in Jesus’
name, then command the underlying disease to leave. (see Healing Prayer
Outline)
4) Ask the person how they feel (better, same,
worse), and remove any inner blocks or demonic influence, as the Lord
leads you to. (see Healing Prayer Outline and Bib. Found. sec. IX-XI)
5) Hold in
mind a detailed faith-picture of the person healed and say, "Thank you,
Lord, that that is the way it is going to be, because your power is
healing this person." (Bib. Found. sec. III, V)
Releasing the Healing Anointing of Jesus in Prayer
Methods and
procedures do not heal. Jesus does. But these are some points which help
us draw near to Jesus and discern what He wants to do through us in
prayer.
1. FOCUS ON JESUS/ FORGET ABOUT EVERYTHING ELSE
--Dial down, quiet yourself and tell the person
being prayed for to dial down, quiet themselves and focus on Jesus who
is always with us (Matt 28:20).
Tell the
person just to receive and not to strive or pray themselves or pray in
tongues, which tends to block the Holy Spirit from healing a person (Isa.
30:15 ""In repentance and rest is your salvation, in quietness and trust
is your strength"; Jesus had to take the blind man away from his friends
when his friends "begged Jesus to touch him," (Mk. 8:22) suggesting
emotionally intense fear-filled striving).
--With your
mind’s-eye (eyes of your heart) see Jesus as He is described in His
Transfiguration in Matt. 17:1-8—See Jesus’ face and clothes full of
God’s brilliant light (Heb. 1:3), surrounded by the bright cloud of
God’s Spirit. See Jesus’ light (His anointing and power) radiating onto
you and into you. Keep your focus on Him (worship the Giver not
the gifts) and praise Him in your spirit for His sacrifice on the cross
for our sins, for His love and power.
--Keep your
inner attention on Jesus always throughout the prayer time. Listen to
any specific insights or guidance Jesus may speak or bring to mind for
the prayer time or the person by tuning to the voice and vision of God
(i.e. spontaneous thoughts and spontaneous pictures—for help learning to
hear God’s voice, maybe go to http://www.cwgministries.org/Free-Christian-Books-and-Articles.htm and click on "The Four Keys to
Hearing God’s Voice"). What is the Lord doing in this person’s life and
what does He want to do through your prayers?
--Assume
God will send healing unless He has shown you otherwise ("the prayer of
faith will heal the sick person (Grk. fut. Indicative sosei "will heal"
not "may heal" or "might heal...if it’s God’s will")" Jas. 5:15).
--Keep your eyes OPEN so you don't miss the signs
of the Holy Spirit's manifestations on the person.—some typical signs:
eyelids fluttering, change in breathing, slight shaking, flush on skin,
radiant sheen on the face, visible peace:
† Possible
responses to the presence of God and the power of the Holy Spirit:
1. Shaking or trembling (Exo. 19:16; Ps. 2:11;
96:9; 114:7; 119:120; I Chron. 16:30; Ezra 9:4; Ps. 2:11; 119:20; Isa.
66:5; Jer. 5:22; 23:9; Dan. 10:10-11; Mat. 28:4; Acts 7:32; Heb. 12:21).
2. Falling over-- "resting" or "being slain"
in the Spirit (I Kgs. 8:11; Ezek. 1:28; 3:23; Dan. 8:17-18; 10:9; Mat.
28:4; Lk. 9:32; Jn. 18:6; Acts 9:4 (26:14); I Cor. 14:25; Rev. 1:17).
3. Intoxicated state of mind (Acts 2:4, 13, 15;
Eph. 5:18; cf. I Sam. 1:12-17; I Sam. 19:23f.).
4. Laughing, shouting, or crying (Gen. 17:1,
3, 17; Ezra 3:13; Neh. 8:9; 12:43; Ps. 126:2; Prov. 14:13)
5. Feeling heat, energy (Mk. 5:30; cf.
Col.1:29 energeia // dunamis ).
6. Deep peace (Rom. 15:13; I Cor. 14:33),
etc.
7. Radiance on one’s face (Acts 2:3; 6:15 and
7:55; II Cor. 3:18 (and Exo. 34:29).
2. ASK FOR
THE HOLY SPIRIT’S HEALING POWER TO BE FULLY RELEASED INTO THE PERSON
--Ask the
Lord to release His power--"Jesus, please release the healing power and
light of Your Holy Spirit on this person."/ "Come Holy Spirit,
release your healing power and light on this person." (Ezek. 37:9 Hebrew
bo’i haruakh "Come O (Holy) Spirit!" [Heb ruakh here clearly refers to the
Holy Spirit, because in Ezek. 37:6 ruakh is translated in the Greek
Septuagint as pneuma mou "My Spirit" referring to God’s Spirit and
because of the allusion to creation by the Holy Spirit in Gen. 1:2]; "O
Lord, I call to you; come quickly to me" Ps. 141:1; II Cor 3:17 "Now the
Lord is the Spirit").
† The Holy
Spirit is always with us (John 14:16-19; Psalm 139:7-10).
†† But He
comes specially and manifests special anointing for special purposes
(Luke 5:17 "the power of the Lord was present to heal" implying that
there were times when the power of the Lord was not present; I Cor. 5:4
"When . . . the power of the Lord Jesus is present"; Isa. 55:6 "Seek the
Lord while He may be found; call upon Him while He is near").
--WAIT--and
this is hard--until you see signs of the Holy Spirit's presence on the
person—often but not always eyelids fluttering, change in breathing, muscle
spasm or rippling, shaking, flush on skin, radiant sheen on the face,
visible peace, falling, laughing, crying ("And the power of the Lord was
present for him to heal the sick" Luke 5:17; "Be still before the Lord
and wait patiently for him" Ps. 37:7)
--With your
mind’s eye, see the healing power of Jesus as His radiant light entering
the person’s body. Whether you perceive the anointing as warmth,
tingling and electricity, as many do, or not, keep seeing in your mind’s-eye
the anointing entering the person and going to the place of infirmity
(while keeping your primary attention on Jesus), because unless there is
a block of some sort (sin, unforgiveness, anxiety, fear, unbelief), the
Lord’s anointing is really going into the person. Focus the healing
anointing by asking Jesus to intensify His power and healing light in
the spot of the infirmity and by seeing Jesus’ healing light penetrating
and increasing in intensity in the exact location of the infirmity.
--Thank the Lord as an expression of faith (Ps.
22:3-4; 50:23; 2 Chron. 20:21- 23, 27): "Lord, thank you that your
healing light and power is going into this person and into the place of
infirmity." Thank the Lord whether you feel or sense anything happening
or not.
3. ENGAGE
PRAYER AS THE SPIRIT LEADS—PETITION / COMMAND / PRONOUNCEMENT
--Pray as
the Lord leads you to, with Petition/intercession to God and/or words
from God spoken to a condition or demon or to the person (e.g. Mk. 1:25;
7:34; Luke 4:39; Jn. 11:41-43; Acts 28:8).
--Petition/Intercession ("So they took away the
stone. Then Jesus looked up and said, 'Father, I thank you that you have
heard me. . . ." Jn. 11:41; "His father was sick in bed, suffering from
fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him and, after prayer, placed
his hands on him and healed him" Acts 28:8. --Command ("Be quiet! . . .
Come out of him!" Mk. 1:25; "Be clean!" (to a leper) Mk. 1:41; "Get up!"
(to a lame man) Mk. 2:11, Jn. 5:8, Acts 9:34; "Stretch out your hand"
Mk. 3:5; "Get up" (to a dead person) Mk. 5:41, Lk. 7:14, Acts 9:40;
Jesus spoke to a deaf man's ears, "Be opened!" Mk. 7:34; Jesus "rebuked
the fever, and it left her" Lk. 4:39; "See again! (Grk. Anablepson)" (to
a blind man) Lk. 18:42; "Lazarus, come forth!" Jn. 11:43; "Walk!" (to a
lame man) Acts 3:6; "Stand up!" (to a lame man) Acts 14:10).
--The Command prayer is the most frequent type of
healing prayer in the Gospels and Acts, so expect the Lord to lead you
to use the prayer of command a lot in healing prayer.
--Maybe
First command the pain to leave the person: "Pain you leave this
person’s body (arm, leg, heart, etc.) now! Obey the body and blood of
Jesus! It is written, ‘By His wounds we are healed’ (Isa. 53:5; 1 Pet.
2:24), and we proclaim that by Jesus’ wounds this person’s body is
healed in Jesus’ name."
Don’t be afraid to command pain to leave more than
once (Jesus had to pray for the blind man more than once in Mark 8:23,
25.) Usually it leaves after 2- 3 times of command prayer.
--Then
command the underlying disease (cancer, arthritis, etc.) to leave the
person—treat it like an intruder and tell it to leave and never return in
Jesus’ name. Notice Jesus "rebuked" the fever in Lk 4:39 like He
"rebuked" (same Greek word) demons elsewhere (Matt. 17:18; Luke 9:42;
Mark 9:25 He rebuked the evil spirit: "You deaf and mute spirit . . . I
command you, come out of him and never enter him again!").
--Pronouncement ("Woman, you are set free from your
infirmity" Lk. 13:12; "Your faith has healed you" Lk. 18:42; "Take your
mat and go home" Mat. 9:6; "Go . . . wash in the Pool of Siloam" Jn.
9:7; "’Go, show yourselves to the priests.’ And as they went, they were
cleansed" Lk. 17:14).
4. DIPSTICK
(CHECK THE OIL) & REMOVE ANY INNER BLOCKS
--Ask
questions?? ("How are you feeling? Better? Worse?") during prayer to
find out what the Holy Spirit is doing, for more information or
redirection ("Do you see anything?" Jesus said to a blind man during
prayer Mk. 8:23; Elijah sent his servant to the edge of Mt. Carmel seven
times to see if the rain he was praying for had come yet, James 5:18 and
I Kings 18:41-44).
--Be sensitive to the Holy Spirit for insight about
possible blocks to the Lord’s healing in the person’s life--e.g.,
unforgiveness, anxiety and worry, fear, unbelief, demonization, sinning
which led to damaged emotions or damaged relationships, etc.
(James 5:15-16 "The prayer of faith will make the sick person well; the
Lord will raise him up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven; Therefore
confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may
be healed"; Matt. 13:58 "And he did not do many miracles there because
of their lack of faith"; 1Cor. 11:29-30 "For anyone who eats and drinks
without recognizing the body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on
himself. That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of
you have fallen asleep [died]").
5. KEEP
PRAYING AS THE LORD LEADS, PICTURING THE PERSON HEALED
--Hold a
detailed picture in your mind of the person completely healed (Heb.
11:13 shows that faith-picturing is a key element of faith). Ask the Lord to
give you a picture of the person healed as the Lord wants Him to be.
Then hold that picture of the person in your mind as you thank the Lord
that His power and healing anointing are accomplishing the healing:
"Lord, thank you that this is the way this person is going to be healed,
because that is your will for him. We thank you that your power is
working this healing in him now and bless what you are doing in him."

BIBLICAL FOUNDATIONS
I. Healing is Not Just "One of the Gifts"--Healing
Shows Non-Christians and Christians God’s Power and Love. A careful
study of the Gospels and Acts shows that one of the chief functions of
healing in the New Testament is to accompany the preaching of the gospel
and to show people God’s power and mercy. Healing is not just one of the
gifts of the Spirit. In the New Testament, healing ministry is a primary
tool alongside preaching God’s Kingdom to show those who don’t know God
as well as God’s people the power of Jesus’ cross to forgive their sins
and restore them to the life of God: Mat. 4:23; 9:35-36; 10:1, 7-8;
11:5; 12:15, 18; 15:30; 19:2 (cf. Mk. 10:1); 21:14 (cf. Lk. 21:37); Mk.
1: 38-39; 2:2, 11; 3:14-15; 6:12-13; 10:1 (cf. Mat. 19:2); Lk. 4:18;
5:17, 24; 6:6-11, 17-18; 7:22; 9:1-2; 10:9, 13; 13:10-13, 22, 32; 14:4,
7ff.; 21:37 (cf. Mat. 21:14); 16:15-18, 20; Jn. 3:2; 7:14-15, 21-23, 31,
38; 10:25, 32, 38; 12:37, 49; 14:10, 12; Acts 1:1; 2:22; 3:6, 12;
4:29-30; 5:12-16, 20-21, 28, 42; 6:8, 10; 8:4-7, 12; 9:17-18 (cf.
22:13), 34-35; 10:38; 14:3, 8-10, 15ff.; 15:12, 36; 18:5, 11 (cf. II
Cor. 12:12; I Cor. 2:4-5); 19:8-12; Rom. 15:18-19; I Cor. 2:4- 5; 11:1;
12:1-11, 28-31; 14:22-25; II Cor. 12:12; Gal. 3:5; Phil. 4:9; I Thes.
1:5-6; Heb. 2:3-4; 6:1-2; Jas. 5:13-16.
II. Embracing God's General and Specific Will
concerning Healing Scripture clearly shows that as a general rule it is
God's will to heal the sick. James 5:15 says "the prayer of faith will
heal (Greek future indicative) the sick" not "the prayer of faith may or
may not heal the sick." And the overall witness of the New Testament
regarding God's attitude toward healing shows that God desires to heal.
Any reader of the Gospels knows that God’s Son healed the sick. Acts and
the Epistles show that the apostles and Early Church laity healed the
sick (Stephen, Philip, Ananias, the Corinthians, Galatians, Jewish
Christian churches, etc.; E.g., Acts 3:6, 12; 4:29-30; 5:12- 16, 20-21,
28, 42; 6:8, 10; 8:4-7, 12; 9:17-18 (cf. 22:13), 34-35; 14:3, 8-10,
15ff.; 15:12, 36; 18:5, 11(cf. II Cor. 12:12; I Cor. 2:4-5); 19:8-12. Rom.
15:18- 19; I Cor. 2:4-5; 11:1; 12:1-11, 28-31; II Cor. 12:12; Gal. 3:5;
Phil. 4:9; I Thes. 1:5-6; Heb. 2:3-4; 6:1-2; Jas. 5:13-16.). God gave
the church gifts of healing (I Cor. 12:9). As well, He commands the
church to pray for the sick in James 5:14-16. So we know from all this
evidence that as a rule, God desires to heal the sick. Scripture also
makes it clear that in a minority of cases for various reasons the early
church did not always see all the sick healed (2 Tim. 4:20; Phil.
2:26-27; 1 Tim. 5:23; Gal. 4:13-14). If we read about the prayer of
faith that makes the sick person well in James 5:14-18, we find that the
way that Elijah listened to God's immediate word and then prayed in 1
Kings 18, is an example of the prayer of faith that will make the sick
person well. Elijah first heard the prophetic word of God in 1 Kings
18:1 that God was going to send rain, and then in 1 Kings 18:41-45
Elijah actually prayed for the rain that God said He was going to send. So
the faith that heals the sick involves hearing what God wants to do in
prayer for the sick person and praying that out over the sick person
until we see the fullness of healing manifested in their body, just as
Elijah prayed until he saw the rain finally begin to come.
DIVINE HEALING TOOLBOX
JAMES
5:14-18 1. Remove blockages by confessing your sins one to another
(Jas. 5:14-18): Each person in the group (prayer ministers and person
being prayed for) is to focus on Jesus with the eyes of your heart. Fix
your eyes on Jesus and ask Him if there is anything that is blocking
His healing power from flowing to you. Receive His response back by
tuning to spontaneous thoughts and pictures (For help learning to hear
God’s voice, go to http://www.cwgministries.org/Free-Christian-Books-and-Articles.htm and click on "The Four Keys to
Hearing God’s Voice."). Make sure you are living a healthy lifestyle,
which includes a nutritious diet, regular exercise, fasting/cleansing
and stress-free living. Confess your sins based on what you receive.
Learn to confess your sins moment by moment so you stand clean before
the Lord. This group stance of humility and holiness releases God’s
power.
2. The foundation
for healing is entering God’s presence: The Lord said to one Christian
colleague of Dr. Virkler’s, "First you must practice My presence. Then
we'll talk. My presence is really more important than My words. The
healing takes place while in My presence." Become Christ-conscious by
worshipping Christ in your spirit. See Jesus transfigured in God’s light
(Matt. 17:1-8). Ask for, see and release His healing power, which can be
seen as light, and felt as heat and tingling. His power to heal is
released through His presence.
3. Discover and
deal with the root cause of the infirmity: Have the sick person, pray,
"Holy Spirit, please show me the root cause of this sickness in my
body." (His body, his memory and the Holy Spirit within him know exactly
what the root of the sickness is.) Then instruct him to quiet himself
and tune to the voice and vision of God (i.e., spontaneous
thoughts and spontaneous pictures) and share with you what
comes to him. Apply the appropriate prayer.
4. Assume three
parts to healing prayer: (removing pain, casting out demons, restoring
body parts) Speak to the pain to be removed. It is easy, builds faith
once the person being prayed for feels some pain leave, and removes this
distraction from the person being prayed for. Firmly command the
specific afflicting demons to be loosed. Assume demons in most/all
situations. Demons were frequently involved in the conditions Jesus
healed, as is suggested by comparing the summary description in Mark
1:39 with the parallel summary statement of Matt. 4:23: Mark 1:39
"So he traveled throughout Galilee, preaching in their synagogues and
driving out demons." Matt. 4:23 "Jesus went throughout Galilee,
teaching in their synagogues, preaching the good news of the kingdom,
and healing every disease and sickness among the people." Speak
lovingly and specifically to the damaged body parts to be restored to
their normal function.
5. Receive divine
revelation: As you see Jesus and watch His healing power and light pour
into a person, ask Him to show you exactly what needs to be healed and
how He wants to heal it. Receive His answer by tuning to spontaneous
thoughts and pictures, and act in obedience on what He is telling you.
Engage the prayer-type that the Spirit leads you to--petition, command,
or pronouncement.
6. Team up for greater
revelation: Two or three prayer ministers who are all open to God
showing them any keys to removing blocks and sharing what they are
receiving with the group which then acts upon it, will generally widen
the reception of divine revelation and very quickly break the yoke of
the infirmity, restoring the person to health.
7. Powerful prayers which detach demons: Person
being prayed for and prayer counselors stay tuned to flow and act upon
impressions to pray in any of the following ways:
1. Forgiving anyone God brings to mind;
2. Confessing any sins God brings to mind;
3. Breaking generational sins and curses;
4. Severing ungodly soul ties;
5. Replacing negative beliefs;
6. Renouncing inner vows; 7. Breaking word curses;
8. Receiving
inner healing through seeing visions of Jesus in the memory;
9. Casting out demons.
All of these can be covered systematically with a "Contributing Strands
Worksheet" found at www.cwgministries.org/Freebooks. htm and see
Dr. Mark Virkler and Dr. Patti Virkler’s book, Prayers
that Heal the Heart (Bridge-Logos, 2001), for full
discussion of these issues.
10 . Anoint with
oil: Use oil that has been prayed over for an impartation of divine
healing power (James 5:14-15).
11. Intensify the flow of healing power by seeing: Ask for
and see Jesus’ divine healing light and power radiating onto and into
the person; see it focused on the infirmity, and thank the Lord that the
anointing is being released and entering the body.
12. Give a divine radiation treatment: Have a group of two
to five people keep their hands (both hands – so an spiritual circuit is
completed) on a sick person for 10-20 minutes releasing God’s
power/light into him.
13. Get feedback
regularly: Ask the person how he or she feels (better, same, worse), and
respond as necessary. Learn again from your own personal past experiences
too.
14. See it done:
Hold in your mind a detailed faith-picture of the person healed and say,
"Thank You, Lord. That is the way it is going to be, because Your power
is healing this person.
(1 Tim 5:22 KJV) Lay hands suddenly on no man,
Additional Notes
Some of the distorted preachers, even pentecostals
do too often do teach that any Christian should not be sick at all
and that we can always immediately claim our sickness healing by faith and God
will always heal us. They seem too easily to forget that a
temporary human sickness can temporary serve God's purposes. But also yet
the Fundamentals Evangelcials too now also go overboard denying that healing
tend to exist today as well.
A too common Pentecostal Word Faith teaching is that it
is solely, always your own personal fault for being sick. This false
teaching can be found in Hinduism as well. They teach that it is
because of your own lack of faith and/or knowledge, unconfessed sins if
you are sick or poor. This unloving, cruel and unbiblical
teaching does not come from God but from Satan who distorted God's basic
truths on healing. Can you imagine the gall of anyone, even a false
elder, pastor, unlovingly trying to tell a person to their face that the
reason their daughter sick is because of their lack of faith? or that
God is punishing them of their own sin? Can you imagine the cruelty in telling
a person bound to a wheelchair that if they had enough "faith" they
would surely "Rise and be healed?" But what does the Bible say
about it, teach.
Most of the problem with the clear Christian teaching
discrepancies on Healing and Sickness is due firstly to the real personal ignorance of what the
Bible teaches even about Healing. Most Christian people wrongfully rely mainly
on some famous preacher who is pro or con to healing and Not on God and his
Word firstly. Many people have their mind made up beforehand anyway and are
not honestly open to the subjects and they thus tend use out of context bible
verses, the preachers quotations to try to suit, substantiate their own
pet views.. they need to read these verses..
(Mat 8:7 KJV) And Jesus saith unto him, I will come
and heal him.
(Mat 10:1 KJV) And when he had called unto him his
twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast them
out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
disease.
(Mat 10:8 KJV) Heal
the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely
ye have received, freely give.
(Mat 12:10 KJV) And, behold, there was a man which
had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the
sabbath days? that they might accuse him.
(Mat 13:15 KJV) For this people's heart is waxed
gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed;
lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and
should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal
them.
(Mark 3:2 KJV) And they watched him, whether he
would heal him on the sabbath day; that they might accuse him.
(Mark 3:15 KJV) And to have power to heal
sicknesses, and to cast out devils:
(Luke 4:18 KJV) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me,
because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me
to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and
recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised,
(Luke 7:3 KJV) And when he heard of Jesus, he sent
unto him the elders of the Jews, beseeching him that he would come and heal
his servant.
(Luke 9:2 KJV) And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God,
and to heal the
sick.
(Luke 10:9 KJV) And heal the sick that are therein,
and say unto them, The kingdom of God is come nigh unto you.
(Luke 14:3 KJV) And Jesus answering spake unto the
lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath
day?
(John 4:47 KJV) When he heard that Jesus was come
out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would
come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death.
(Acts 4:30 KJV) By stretching forth thine hand to
heal; and that signs and wonders may be done by the name of
thy holy child Jesus.
Just cause some preacher does not have the faith to heal,
has never been used by God in healing does that now wrongfully mean the Holy
spirit gift o healing has ceased? no! Of course not. So what if there
any instances of believers in the Bible that asked God for a
healing and were refused? Do we next make the false general statement
wrongfully that God refuses all request for healing thus? Did Jesus
automatically heal all those who came to him? no? or there were conditions to
be met to be healed by Jesus in the New Testament too. Now what were the
conditions of healing? And why were some refused their healings? just
Unconfessed sins? Does the fact that a sickness may return nullify the first
healing? No of course not.. I prayed for a person and he was healed.. years
later the sickness return and I wanted to pray for them again but God said no,
I will not hear your prayer, he is an unrepentant evil person.
Are there any instances of believers in the
Bible that remained sick or died from a sickness and does the death of any
believer now supposedly nullify any possible healing of others? of
course not! ? Is it not a fact that all healing are
temporary anway for we all do die?
Now let us all look at the common quotation of
Apostle Paul supposedly applicable on Healings
"For this thing I besought the Lord thrice, that it might
depart from me. And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my
strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather
glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.
Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in necessities, in
persecutions, in distresses for Christ's sake: for when I am weak, then am I
strong," 2 Corinthians
12:8-10.
It is agreed that the Apostle Paul had a thorn in the
flesh that was particularly troublesome. Now
was this thorn specifically a sickness and so what specific sickness?
Partial Blindness? Why does God in
his word define it as a "thorn", a specific abusive messenger of Satan,
and not rather a specific sickness. Paul he had asked the
Lord three times to take it the thorn, not to some it only means the
supposed sickness away but God said, "no." So despite God's refusal to
heal him? Paul rejoiced because of his infirmities? and where is such a
reference in the Bible it is a sickness still?.. there is no such
reference the bad preachers imply the thorn was a sickness cause it is
convenient for them to do so.
Here is the undeniable reality
God rather promised the Apostle Paul that he would next suffer
physically for Christ sake cause he persecuted Christians..
this suffering included the physical persecutions he received while
preaching the Gospel. (Acts 9:15 KJV) But the Lord said unto him, Go thy
way: for he is a chosen vessel unto me, to bear my name before the Gentiles,
and kings, and the children of Israel:16 For I will show him how great things
he must suffer for my name's sake. (1 Cor 4:11 KJV) Even unto this present hour we both
hunger, and thirst, and are naked, and are buffeted, and have no
certain dwelling place; (1 Pet 2:20 KJV) For what glory is it, if, when ye
be buffeted for your
faults, ye shall take it patiently? but if, when ye do well, and suffer
for it, ye take it patiently, this is acceptable with God. if you have doubts
what it means to be buffeted see (Mat 26:67 KJV) Then did they spit in
his face, and buffeted
him; and others smote him with the palms of their
hands,)
"Ye know how through
infirmity of the flesh I preached the gospel unto you at the
first. And my
temptation which was in my flesh ye despised not, nor rejected; but received
me as an angel of God, even as Christ Jesus," Galatians
4:13-14.
(2 Cor 4:7 KJV) But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the
excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us. 8 We are
troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in
despair; 9 Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed; 10
Always bearing about in the body
the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made
manifest in our body. 11 For we which live are always delivered
unto death for Jesus' sake, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest
in our mortal flesh.
Now in
the Old Testament King David said this about his own afflictions: "It was good for me to be afflicted so that I might learn your decrees...I know, O Lord, that
your laws are righteous, and in faithfulness
you have afflicted me," Psalm 119:71,
75. "The LORD hath chastened me sore: but he hath not given me
over unto death," Psalm 118:18.
"Before I was afflicted
I went astray: but now have I kept thy word," Psalm
119:67.
The lying bad
Preachers here too try to tell you this affliction was a sickness of
David .Yet we have no mention at all in the Bible that these
afflictions were any specific sickness, rather David clearly was persecuted by
his son, and others.. and all as a direct result of his adulterous sin with
Bathsheba and the murder by David of her husband now as well. What
the preachers too do not know the Bible well enough to share the truth? it
sure seems so.
Let us all refer also to the case of Job and his
sickness.. who said " Naked came I out of
my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the
LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD...Then said his wife
unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Curse God, and
die. But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women
speaketh. What? Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and
shall we not receive evil (Calamity)? In all this did not Job sin with
his lips...Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain
mine own ways before him," Job 1:21, 2:9-10,
13:15.
Clearly note that Job was eventually healed and lived to
an old age.. this is undeniable too. (Job 42:10 KJV) And
the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the
LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
(Job
42:11 KJV) Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his
sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat
bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all
the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece
of money, and every one an earring of gold.
(Job
42:12 KJV) So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his
beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a
thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
(Job
42:16 KJV) After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his
sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.17 So Job died, being old and
full of days.
Some people are sick due to their
own fault.. but not all persons. We need spiritual discernment on how to deal
with the sick..
(1 Cor
10:21 KJV) Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of devils:
ye cannot be partakers of the Lord's table, and of the table of
devils.
(1 Cor
11:29 KJV) For he that eateth and drinketh unworthily, eateth and
drinketh damnation to himself, not discerning the Lord's body.30 For
this cause many are weak and sickly among you, and many sleep.31 For if
we would judge ourselves, we should not be judged.
(James
5:14 KJV) Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the
church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the
Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall
raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.16
Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye
may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth
much.
I rightfully suggest all
person themselves now really go back to the Bible.. even on the subjects of
healing and sickness.. I believe in going to see a doctor after we
prayed about it.. still God has promised for his children he would do
for them what the Doctors cannot do. We as Christian operate also under
a higher law than the earthly laws of medicine.
(Eccl 3:11 KJV) He hath made every thing
beautiful in his time: also he hath set the world in their heart, so that no
man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the
end.
(1 John 2:15 KJV) Love not the world,
neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love
of the Father is not in him.
(Prov 23:4
KJV) Labour not to be rich: cease from thine own wisdom.
(Prov 28:20
KJV) A faithful man shall abound with blessings: but he that maketh
haste to be rich shall not be innocent.
(Prov 28:22
KJV) He that hasteth to be rich hath an evil eye, and considereth not
that poverty shall come upon him.
(Mat 6:24 KJV) No man can serve two
masters: for either he will hate the one, and love the other; or else he will
hold to the one, and despise the other. Ye cannot serve God and
mammon.
(1 Cor 16:22 KJV) If any man love not the
Lord Jesus Christ, let him be Anathema Maranatha.
(Mat 7:16 KJV) Ye shall know them by
their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of
thistles?
(Mat 7:20 KJV) Wherefore by their fruits
ye shall know them.
Being filled with the fruits
of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God.
Phil. 1:11
The perverse prosperity
prostitutes, adulterers. It has been my too many years of personal experiences
that the perverse prosperity prostitutes, adulterers, idolterers persons,
who mainly tithe to get richer and not rather to help the poor
persons, for they do generally as well despise the poor and
needy persons, covet to be rich they can be found in both the secular and
religious camps, and their behaviors tend to be very similar. Even the
religious persons, the rather still carnal persons, the Judas followers,
while they now even do profess to be moral good living
persons still when it comes to making more money they clearly bend their
rules on morality, ethics, honesty, and they will even cheat, lie steal to
acquire more wealth... they mainly still also do see other people as slave
objects, slaves that can be used to help them increase their personal
acquisitions and they will cast out, sell out their poor relatives,
relationships still too.. but they still will even profess to be good
persons now too... and try to by their way into heaven.
(Mat 25:34 KJV) Then shall the King
say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the
kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: 35 For I was
an hungered, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a
stranger, and ye took me in: 36 Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick,
and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me. 37 Then shall
the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, and fed
thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? 38 When saw we thee a stranger,
and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? 39 Or when saw we thee
sick, or in prison, and came unto thee? 40 And the King shall answer and
say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of
the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. 41 Then shall
he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into
everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels: 42 For I was an
hungered, and ye gave me no meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me no drink:
43 I was a stranger, and ye took me not in: naked, and ye clothed me
not: sick, and in prison, and ye visited me not. 44 Then shall they also
answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungered, or athirst, or a
stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not minister unto thee?
45 Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as
ye did it not to one of the least of these, ye did it not to me. 46 And
these shall go away into everlasting punishment:
(James 2:1 KJV) My brethren, have not the
faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory, with respect of persons.
2 For if there come unto your assembly a man with a gold ring, in goodly
apparel, and there come in also a poor man in vile raiment; 3 And ye
have respect to him that weareth the gay clothing, and say unto him, Sit thou
here in a good place; and say to the poor, Stand thou there, or sit here under
my footstool: 4 Are ye not then partial in yourselves, and are become
judges of evil thoughts? 5 Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God
chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he
hath promised to them that love him? 6 But ye have despised the poor. Do
not rich men oppress you, and draw you before the judgment seats? 7 Do
not they blaspheme that worthy name by the which ye are called? 8 If ye
fulfil the royal law according to the scripture, Thou shalt love thy neighbour
as thyself, ye do well: 9 But if ye have respect to persons, ye commit
sin, and are convinced of the law as transgressors. 10 For whosoever
shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
11 For he that said, Do not commit adultery, said also, Do not kill. Now
if thou commit no adultery, yet if thou kill, thou art become a transgressor
of the law.
(1 Tim 5:8 KJV) But if any provide not
for his own, and specially for those of his own house, he hath denied the
faith, and is worse than an infidel.
(1 John 1:9 KJV) If we confess our sins,
he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all
unrighteousness.10 If we say that we have not sinned, we make him a liar, and
his word is not in us.
(Jer 2:20 KJV) For of old time I have broken thy
yoke, and burst thy bands; and thou saidst, I will not transgress; when upon
every high hill and under every green tree thou wanderest, playing the
harlot.
(Jer 3:6 KJV) The LORD said also unto me
in the days of Josiah the king, Hast thou seen that which backsliding Israel
hath done? she is gone up upon every high mountain and under every green tree,
and there hath played the harlot.
(Jer 3:13 KJV) Only acknowledge thine
iniquity, that thou hast transgressed against the LORD thy God, and hast
scattered thy ways to the strangers under every green tree, and ye have not
obeyed my voice, saith the LORD.
(Mat 23:37 KJV) O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how
often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her
chickens under her wings, and ye would not!
(Prov 23:5 KJV) Wilt thou set thine eyes
upon that which is not? for riches certainly make themselves wings; they fly
away as an eagle toward heaven.
(Ezek 6:13 KJV) Then shall ye know that I
am the LORD, when their slain men shall be among their idols round about their
altars, upon every high hill, in all the tops of the mountains, and under
every green tree, and under every thick oak, the place where they did offer
sweet savour to all their idols.
(Psa 35:13 KJV) But as for me, when they
were sick, my clothing was sackcloth: I humbled my soul with fasting; and my
prayer returned into mine own bosom.
(Psa 69:13 KJV) But as for me, my prayer
is unto thee, O LORD, in an acceptable time: O God, in the multitude of thy
mercy hear me, in the truth of thy salvation.
(Psa 9:9 KJV) The LORD also will be a
refuge for the oppressed, a refuge in times of trouble. 10 And they that
know thy name will put their trust in thee: for thou, LORD, hast not forsaken
them that seek thee. 11 Sing praises to the LORD, which dwelleth in
Zion: declare among the people his doings. 12 When he maketh inquisition
for blood, he remembereth them: he forgetteth not the cry of the humble.
(Psa 48:1 KJV) Great is the LORD, and
greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of his holiness.
2 Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on
the sides of the north, the city of the great King. 3 God is known in
her palaces for a refuge.
(Psa 62:5 KJV) My soul, wait thou only
upon God; for my expectation is from him. 6 He only is my rock and my
salvation: he is my defence; I shall not be moved. 7 In God is my
salvation and my glory: the rock of my strength, and my refuge, is in God.
8 Trust in him at all times; ye people, pour out your heart before him:
God is a refuge for us. Selah. 9 Surely men of low degree are vanity,
and men of high degree are a lie: to be laid in the balance, they are
altogether lighter than vanity. 10 Trust not in oppression, and become
not vain in robbery: if riches increase, set not your heart upon them.
11 God hath spoken once; twice have I heard this; that power belongeth
unto God. 12 Also unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest
to every man according to his work.
(Psa 104:16 KJV) The trees of the LORD are full
of sap; the cedars of Lebanon, which he hath planted; 17 Where the birds
make their nests: as for the stork, the fir trees are her house. 18 The
high hills are a refuge for the wild goats; and the rocks for the conies.
19 He appointed the moon for seasons: the sun knoweth his going down.
20 Thou makest darkness, and it is night: wherein all the beasts of the
forest do creep forth. 21 The young lions roar after their prey, and
seek their meat from God. 22 The sun ariseth, they gather themselves
together, and lay them down in their dens. 23 Man goeth forth unto his
work and to his labour until the evening. 24 O LORD, how manifold are
thy works! in wisdom hast thou made them all: the earth is full of thy
riches.
(Isa 25:1 KJV) O LORD, thou art my God; I will
exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy
counsels of old are faithfulness and truth. 2 For thou hast made of a
city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city;
it shall never be built. 3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify
thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee. 4 For thou hast
been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge
from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is
as a storm against the wall. 5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of
strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a
cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low. 6 And in
this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat
things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines
on the lees well refined. 7 And he will destroy in this mountain the
face of the covering cast over all people, and the veil that is spread over
all nations. 8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD
will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he
take away from off all the earth: for the LORD hath spoken it. 9 And it
shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he
will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and
rejoice in his salvation. 10 For in this mountain shall the hand of the
LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden
down for the dunghill. 11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the
midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he
shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands. 12
And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low,
and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
I have had some very
dramatic, real VALID personal experiences with Healing.. they were
mostly unexpected ones
It all started mostly when my 6 month daughter
was diagnosed as being seriously ill, likely to die a vegetable within 3
years. I had no experiences in healings. I had also just gone to a new church,
the Christian Missionary Alliance church, and I had read their church
doctrines on healing. She was diagnosed with hydrocephalus, which is derived from two Greek
words, hydro, meaning water, and cephalus, meaning head, and once was called "water on
the brain." Hydrocephalus is the condition caused by the accumulation of an
abnormally large amount of cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) in the skull, or cranium.
Normally, CSF flows continually from the interior cavities in the brain
(ventricles) to the thin subarachnoid space that surrounds the brain and
spinal chord. 1/10000 babies are born that way.
My wife who was also a nurse was very very
depressed about it.. so I suggested we separately read the Bible and ask God
what to do about it
God next told us three things in our Bible
reading-
1 She our daughter was not sick for our sin, or
our fault
2: She will be healed God had needed her for
his glory
3: I now was to ask the local church elders to
pray for her healing.
(James 5:14
KJV) Is any sick among you? let him call for
the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil
in the name of the Lord:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick,
and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be
forgiven him.16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for
another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous
man availeth much.
When I approached the local Alliance Church
pastor to have the elders to pray for my daughter he was hesitant, the local
Church had really never done it before but eventually they agreed to come to
our home two days later to pray for our daughter
About 6 elders came and prayed for her and next
day God had told me she was healed, but physically there was no evidence of
it.. her head swelling had not gone down... that was what I was expecting to
happen.. I was really expecting a miracle, not a gradual healing.
I was dismayed next also that I got a phone
call that two church elders who prayed for my daughter undeniably rather
clearly got immiediately healed, one of a neck problem and one of an arm
problem too.
Next the local Shriner's children
Hospital called and wanted us to bring our daughter for medical testing
and surgery. When I prayed God had replied that the doctors had told me she
was sick, and the doctors would tell me she was well. When we went to the
Hospital, I told the attending nurse that my daughter was healed but she of
copurse did not believe me. I als had told her no operation would be
needed. On the next day at 8:30 am they took her for a brain scan, and hours
later it became very quiet on the floor, the nurses were whispering. and 3
doctors dressed in white came to see me and my wife and said.. we have
no explanation for it but she has healed herself, there will need no need for
surgery and I can take her home the next day.
My story did not end there, for the next
day at 3:30 pm ,when my wife and I got in the family car to take our daughter
home, and when I went to start the car, the gas accelerator got stuck and the
car started to race down the street at rapidly accelerating speed on it's own.
it was a dead end street too. And all I could do was cry Jesus help me.. and
next the car stalled and stopped immediately.
God told me that the devil was mad, mad
that we had robbed him of a sick child and that he the devil was
going to punish another child next, and that I was to pray for the child and
the father. So I did right there I prayed for the unknown to me Child's
protection and healing.
We next took our daughter home and the doctors
told us that she would have headaches for a few days cause of the medical
testing, and you could see her in pain, her eyes were rolling.. but I said if
God could heal her of brain problems he can deal with a headache and I prayed
for my daughter immediately at home and clearly her headaches
stopped.
The next day we got a phone call that the
visiting Church football evangelist daughter was born that day at the same
Shriner's hopistal with the same sickness my daughter had, she had hydrocephalus and spinal Biff. The very
next day I divinely met the same football player on the street on the
way to work unexpectedly and we both went for coffee. I told him that God had
told me that he God would hear my prayer and his daughter too would be
healed.. even though he may not believe me.. and she evntually was
too.
It was not all personally rosy for me
after my own daughter's healing for too many local Christian people
got mad, jealous, bitter over the miraculous healing.. some even lied and said
the devil healed her, and sadly eventually I had to leave this local church
because of the too many unpleasantness. but a doctor in the same church was
converted, he had recognized personally what sickness my daughter had being a
doctor, and he next said only God could heal her and he accepted Jesus as his
savior. And while God still heals the devil also still tries to rob it, to
destroy it, to discredit it.. and he will even uses some professing Christians
to do so.. sad isn't it.
(Psa 34:18 KJV) The LORD is
nigh unto them that are of a broken heart; and saveth such as be of a contrite
spirit.
(Psa 51:17 KJV)
The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit: a broken and a contrite heart, O
God, thou wilt not despise.
(Isa 57:15 KJV) For thus saith the high and lofty
One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy
place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the
spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
(Isa 66:2 KJV) For all those
things hath mine hand made, and all those things have been, saith the LORD:
but to this man will I look, even to him that is poor and of a contrite
spirit, and trembleth at my word.
(Isa
40:31 KJV) But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary;
and they shall walk, and not faint.
(Luke 18:1 KJV) And he spake a parable unto them to
this end, that men ought always to pray, and not to faint;
(Heb 13:5 KJV) Let your
conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye
have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.6 So
that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man
shall do unto me.
