DIVINE HEALING is 4U!

MARK 16:17-18 AND THESE SIGNS SHALL FOLLOW THEM THAT BELIEVE; …; 18…; THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK, AND THEY SHALL RECOVER.

THE ABC’S OF A DIVINE HEALING MINISTRY

A – AVAILABILITY

2 CHRON 16:9 FOR THE EYES OF THE LORD RUN TO AND FRO THROUGHOUT THE WHOLE EARTH, TO SHEW HIMSELF STRONG IN THE BEHALF OF THEM WHOSE HEART IS PERFECT TOWARD HIM.

JAMES 4:17 THEREFORE TO HIM THAT KNOWETH TO DO GOOD AND DOETH IT NOT, TO HIM IT IS SIN.

B – BOLD BELIEVING

PROV 28:1 THE WICKED FLEE WHEN NO MAN PURSUETH: BUT THE RIGHTEOUS ARE BOLD AS A LION.

EPH 3:11B-12 …CHRIST JESUS OUR LORD: IN WHOM WE HAVE BOLDNESS AND ACCESS WITH CONFIDENCE BY THE FAITH OF HIM.

C – COMPASSION

MATT 14:14 AND JESUS WENT FORTH, AND SAW A GREAT MULTITUDE, AND WAS MOVED WITH COMPASSION TOWARD THEM, AND HE HEALED THEIR SICK.

MATT 20:34 SO JESUS HAD COMPASSION ON THEM, AND TOUCHED THEIR EYES: AND IMMEDIATELY THEIR EYES RECEIVED SIGHT, AND THEY FOLLOWED HIM.

HEALING 101

  • GET TENACIOUS AND GET FED UP WITH THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL. Understand that all sickness, torment, pain, etc. is from the devil and is illegal when you encounter it because of Christ in you. JOHN 10:10 (ESV) THE THIEF COMES ONLY TO STEAL AND KILL AND DESTROY. I CAME THAT THEY MAY HAVE LIFE AND HAVE IT ABUNDANTLY. The Word says that the devil came to steal, kill, and destroy, and that Jesus came to give abundant life. WE ARE THE DISPENSERS OF THAT ABUNDANT LIFE IF WE WILL CHOOSE TO BE!
  • NEVER TELL SOMEONE THAT GOD MIGHT BE TRYING TO TEACH THEM A LESSON IN THEIR SUFFERING. Jesus NEVER did this. Think about it like this: If you had a child, would you throw them onto a highway to teach them not to play in traffic? Of course not. So why would a good God give someone cancer to teach them to be humble? You can’t give someone something you don’t have. There is no cancer or sickness or pain or torment or suffering in heaven. How can God give us something He does not have?
  • GOD IS GOOD AND IN A GOOD MOOD, ALL THE TIME. Emphasize this to the person receiving prayer. GOD = GOOD. DEVIL = BAD. LET’S NOT GET CONFUSED HERE.
  • DON’T ASK GOD IF IT’S HIS WILL TO HEAL SOMEONE. One of His names is JEHOVAH-ROPHE, the God who heals you. It’s His name, it’s His nature, it’s His will. Jesus healed everybody
  • ACTS 10:38 (ESV) HOW GOD ANOINTED JESUS OF NAZARETH WITH THE HOLY SPIRIT AND WITH POWER. HE WENT ABOUT DOING GOOD AND HEALING ALL WHO WERE OPPRESSED BY THE DEVIL, FOR GOD WAS WITH HIM.
  • We get to partner with Him to release what He already loves to do!
  • DON’T ASK HIM TO HEAL THE PERSON…He told you to do it! How awesome is our God?!
  • MATT 10:8 (ESV) HEAL THE SICK, RAISE THE DEAD, CLEANSE LEPERS, CAST OUT DEMONS. YOU RECEIVED WITHOUT PAYING; GIVE WITHOUT PAY.
  • COMMAND THE SICKNESS OR PAIN TO LEAVE IN JESUS’ NAME AND CONTINUE TO DO SO UNTIL IT DOES. DO NOT BACK DOWN! The devil is very patient and is much more willing to stick it out in a fight with us if he knows that we’ll give up before he does.
  • RELEASE THE PRESENCE OF GOD AND HIS GOODNESS INTO THE PERSON’S BODY. (i.e. “I command all sickness/pain to leave this body in Jesus’ name and in it’s place I release the goodness of God and His Kingdom.”)
  • ASK THE PERSON AFTER YOU TELL THE SICKNESS OR PAIN TO LEAVE HOW THEY ARE FEELING. I usually ask, “On a scale from 1-10, if 10 is 100% better, how are you feeling now?”
  • ALWAYS THANK GOD FOR WHAT HE HAS BEGUN TO DO, even if the person is only feeling a little better. Thankfulness releases more of God’s presence into the situation and in most cases will unlock further breakthrough. Pray again after verbally thanking God for what He has started and that He never left anybody half-way healed.
  • NEVER BLAME THE PERSON FOR NOT HAVING ENOUGH FAITH TO BE HEALED IF NOTHING HAPPENS. Lazarus didn’t have any faith to be healed—Jesus had enough faith for Him, so should we! Jesus always acknowledged faith in the other person but it was NEVER necessary. Jesus knew who He was–a man who was not under the curse of sin (just like us because of His blood) who was in right relationship with the Father (just like us because of Jesus).
  • HAVE FUN! God is good and loves when His children believe His Word! WE NEED TO STOP READING WHAT WE BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE AND START BELIEVING WHAT WE READ! ”BELIEVERS WILL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK AND THEY…SHALL RECOVER!” It’s His reputation on the line…not yours. So start laying hands on people and destroy the works of the evil. (knock the devil out of them!)

BE A DOER OF THE WORD. READ THE SCRIPTURE AND START HEALING THE PEOPLE YOU GET IN CONTACT WITH. HAVE FUN! God is good and loves when His children believe His Word!

God our Place of Safety

Image
  Psalms 62:8 CEV‬ Trust God, my friends, and always tell him each of your concerns. God is our place of safety. Let's delve deeper into Psalm 62:8: 1. Trust God: This phrase emphasizes the importance of faith and reliance on God. Trusting God means acknowledging His sovereignty, wisdom, and goodness. It involves surrendering our worries and fears to Him, knowing that He is in control. 2. Always tell Him each of your concerns: God invites us to share our hearts with Him openly. We can pour out our worries, anxieties, and joys before Him. Prayer becomes a powerful way to communicate with God, expressing our deepest feelings and seeking His guidance. 3. God is our place of safety: Here, God is portrayed as our refuge, a safe haven where we find protection, comfort, and peace. When life feels chaotic or uncertain, we can run to Him for shelter. He shields us from harm and provides security. In summary, Psalm 62:8 encourages us to trust God wholeheartedly, communicate with Him h

Our fears are kept in a bottle

Image
  Psalms 56:8 CEV‬ You have kept record of my days of wandering. You have stored my tears in your bottle and counted each of them. In this psalm, David is facing adversity and persecution. He pleads to God for mercy and protection from his enemies. Despite the challenges he faces, David maintains his trust in God. Here are some key points from Psalm 56:8: 1. God's Care and Compassion: The imagery of God collecting tears in a bottle highlights His deep concern for His people. Tears represent our pain, sorrow, and vulnerability. God not only sees our tears but also treasures them. He doesn't ignore our suffering; instead, He collects and remembers every tear shed. 2. Days of Wandering: David acknowledges that life can be like wandering—a journey filled with uncertainty, trials, and hardships. Yet, even during these wandering days, God is attentive to our struggles. He keeps a record of our experiences, both joyful and painful. 3. Counting Each Tear: The idea that God counts

Keys to being useful to God

Image
Psalms 57:10-11 CEV‬ Your love reaches higher than the heavens; your loyalty extends beyond the clouds. 1. Know you are loved by God. Worship Him steadfastly: God uses you because He loves you greatly, as David says "For great is your love, reaching to the heavens; your faithfulness reaches to the skies" (Psalm 57:10). Worship Him steadfastly with your gifts publicly and privately, in good times and bad (Psalm 57:7-9). 2. Honor God in your life. Desire His glory: Make it your ultimate desire to exalt God and let His glory be over all the earth (Psalm 57:11), just as Jesus taught to pray "hallowed be your name" (Matthew 6:9). 3. Do what the Father is doing, not your own plans: Like Jesus who could do nothing by Himself but only what He saw the Father doing (John 5:19), try to discern God's plans and join in rather than initiating your own.  4. Do good works as evidence of faith, but don't earn salvation by them: Those who have done good will rise to
