I Want To Be Healed

Healing is the children’s bread. God has provided healing through the sufferings and death of HIs Son Jesus Christ. The apostle Peter writes “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED” (IPeter 2:24). Even though healing is provided for those who are saved, we have a biblical account of God healing an unsaved woman’s daughter because of her faith.

Even though our healing has been bought and paid for by Jesus sufferings, stripes, and death, it does not come automatically. Some people believe and are instantly healed. That’s what we’d all like, however, many have to battle their way through to their healing, even though it has been paid for. Some have to battle doubt, and build their faith. If that is you find several Scriptures that pertain to healing and stand firmly on them, quoting them to God, yourself, and the devil. The devil will do everything he can to make you doubt, including causing your pain and symptoms to be worse than before you prayed. The battle is won when you can hold your faith, and it’s confession consistent and persistent until you are healed. Two blind men came to Jesus to be healed. He asked them, “Do you believe I am able to do this? And they answered, “Yes Lord.” Then Jesus touched their eyes and said, “ACCORDING TO YOUR FAITH BE IT UNTO YOU.” Faith in God and His promises wins the battle and brings your healing.

It’s Time to Fight

The Church has been asleep too long. The enemy, Satan, has been storming the gates and wickedness has been flooding our society, our families, and our churches with it’s deceptive philosophies, agenda, and destructive power. We can be passive no longer. Church, we must commit our lives in it’s totality to be holy, and faithful to the Lord in service, love, and worship. We must individually and corporately enter into a depth of prayer virtually unknown to the church heretofore. We must repent of our sins of pride, prayerlessness, and unholy living. We must become mighty in prayer and in Spirit and rise up to fight the enemy with the Word, prayer, example, and truth. Our society, and families have lost their way, and we as believers must stand in the broken places and see to it that the enemy proceede no further. We must through united prayer and perseverance push back the enemy who wants to destroy our country, our communties, our families, and our churches. We must not lose any more time sleeping. We must follow our Commander and Chief, Jesus Christ, and be daring and courageous for the sake of God’s kingdom. Brothers and sisters, ‘IT’S TIME TO FIGHT’.

The Spirit of Prayer

Prayer is our spiritual oxygen. Without it we cannot survive. The Western Church has been declining for quite some time now, and puts the salvation of souls at great risk. Where are the miracles, the healings, the deliverances? Where can we find a godly man or woman who is totally devoted to the Lord, and will not sell out to some self-centered fleshly or worldly pursuit? God is moving mightily in many nations around the world such as Colombia, India, Guatemala, Russia, countries in Africa and others.
Who will stand up among us and declare “God you can count on me. I will be a prayer warrior for you and your kingdom. We need to determine today that we will join hands with others in the church and form a powerful bond together in prayer that will shake our church, and community, and promote the kingdom of God where we live and around the world.
