With the current shutdown, I feel prompted to post an online school of healing, as a blog and on our website. Why not get a School of Healing Manual (free by signing up here), or buy a copy of Heal the Sick! Jesus did it: Jesus left the synagogue and went to the home of Simon. Now Simon’s mother-in-law was […]
Is the BMW in the driveway? The house larger than your neighbors’? Is it finally achieving your fitness goal—losing that weight, running that marathon, climbing that mountain, being selected for that team/job? Prosperity? Or is it, as King Solomon of Israel believed, that the Lord has prospered the nation? The message of the book of Judges in the Bible is […]
“I will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven,” Jesus said to Peter (Matthew 16:19). He went on, “Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven.” Whole books have been written about binding and loosing, which imply astonishing authority. But what are the keys? Keys […]
Guest post by Julie Young, Canterbury Evangelism Network Demons can put thoughts, songs or images in your head or give you feelings (e.g. fear). Any negative thought is usually from them. Over time you will get faster at distinguishing between what is your thinking and what is not and getting rid of it. My experience I used to think the […]
Visiting a South African mine in 1969, our guide placed a tapered ingot on a table between us. “This bar weighs 30 pounds. It’s worth US$20,000 (about $650,000 today). If anyone can pick it up, they can have it.” My fingers slipped right off as though the metal was glued to the table. The guide grinned. “It’s slippery as an […]
When we pray for the sick, if we’re honest, most of the time we’re praying in hope—hoping something will happen this time. At the back of our minds are all those occasions when nothing happened. We prayed for Aunt Elsa. She died. These memories are deadly. Deadly Experience What we’re really doing is elevating our experience above the word of […]
When Jesus healed the sick, stilled the storm, and cursed the fig tree, he didn’t pray. His relationship with Abba was closer than ours. But only three times in the New Testament did people pray before ministry, and they teach us valuable lessons. Raising Faith In Acts 28, the prisoner Paul enters the house of the chief official’s father, sick […]
Jesus said, I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father (John 14:12). Note the condition? Faith in Jesus. For the first five keys (faith in his love, sacrifice, word, power, and example,) see my earlier […]
Jesus said many crazy things, but this is right up there: I tell you the truth, anyone who has faith in me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father (John 14:12). How could we possibly do what he did, never mind even greater things? Surely, […]
Or why we sometimes don’t hear God. We blame the donkey, but in the story of Balaam and the Ass (Numbers 22), it was Balaam who wasn’t listening. The donkey knew all along. God speaks even through donkeys, which gives me great comfort. The Pride Earplug Nineteen times the Lord calls his people stiff-necked. “Today, if you hear his voice, […]
