The most interesting thing about this video is that the normal naysayers and skeptics have had to shut their mouths about Delia Knox. I have searched the Internet for skeptics and found none.. or perhaps none .. yet. Here’s the…
Actually, why would I praise God for my sickness? He obviously didn’t do it, so why praise Him for it? John 10:10 tells me that: “The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I have come that they…
We’ve all heard the adage: “Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day. Teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.” The idea is to make people self-reliant, so we don’t have…
The role of intercession has always been critical in church history. Webster’s Dictionary describes intercession as “prayer, petition, or entreaty in favor of another”. Pentecost was ushered in through prayer and intercession (Acts 2); Paul and Barnabas were also selected…
I’d like to continue in the vein of the last post for a little longer. I have seen over many years in prayer and healing ministry the tendency of most people towards skepticism of the unseen. Let me explain. We…
It must be obvious to even the casual reader that I have more than a passing interest in the matter of divine healing. It occupies a lot of my waking thoughts and I’ve been involved in many different healing or…
I shared a little while back one of the reasons we have a marked lack of healings in our churches. There are many actually, but I want to focus on one today that is significant at both the individual and…
I carved away at my steak as I simultaneously made conversation with a new friend at a restaurant. As we chatted about this and that, I noticed she would shift her position every few seconds, it seemed. After some time,…
“Healing is hard“, I once told a friend of mine. “What do you mean?“, he asked. “If it was easy, every one would be doing it,” I countered. Instead, one has to search far and wide to find churches where…
“Hi, how are you?” came the voice over the telephone. A few seconds back, I’d been sitting at my computer, trying to write a complex computer program and quite oblivious to the world. Now the voice of a friend of…
I wanted to stay on the theme of God’s will in healing for a moment. There’s a great example in Mark and an Luke 5:12. It goes as follows:
(Mark 1:40-41 NIV) A man with leprosy came to him and begged him on his knees, "If you are willing, you can make me clean." {41} Filled with compassion, Jesus reached out his hand and touched the man. "I am willing," he said. "Be clean!"
For me, God’s willingness seems quite clear, as in the other 25 instances of individual healings in the New Testament. Jesus said “I
Imagine that one day I came by your house and gave you a discount card for your local supermarket. “Use that whenever you shop,” I say. “I’d like you to get discounts when doing your groceries.” The first time you came around and asked me, “Can I use the discount card today?”, I’d be amused and puzzled, but reply “Of course, that’s what I said, go ahead and use it.”
The second time you came to my home and asked the same question, I’d be slightly irritated, and say “Listen, I told you I wanted you to
