Encouragement thread for all who are standing for their healing, etc...

Jesus is our Savior, our Healer, our Baptizer in the Holy Ghost, and our Soon Coming King!
He is our Deliverer!
Healing is about relationship. He says if we call on His Name we would be saved. i know for a fact that He is faithful and He is a Healer.
trust in Him, cry out to Him, touch the Hem of His Garment, which is all that He is (His Word, His Laws, His Holiness, His Kindness, His Love, and His goodnes). don't let go of Him, no matter what. it is God who does all things.
and...do whatever else He tells you to do. if it is surgery, any type of treatment, take it if He tells you to. pray about everything, get on your face and seek Him out until you get an answer. He is faithful. God uses doctors, he uses medicine, He uses natural means, He uses diet, whatever He tells you to do, do it! (that is what the Bible says). read the Psalms, pray them out loud. seek His face, and His will. He will not leave you without an answer, or leave you desolate.
God has not changed. He is well able to do everything He said that He would do. you have enough faith to trust God, if you feel that you don't, ask Him for more.
i know what God can do.

Here is a few of my thoughts as I wait for my healing, which may encourage some. My thoughts are not complete but some day I hope and expect to complete them.

1) Believe God! When I am sitting in my car, or at work, or at home, and I ponder myself, do I belief God is sitting on the throne of Heaven looking down at me and all of creation? Can I visualize God looking down in love towards me and my situation? Do I have doubt. Ask God to give the gift of faith like the one who asked Jesus "increase my faith". Surely faith is a gift.

2) I don't enjoy my illness, I don't like it. It is something I do not want.

3) God knows that I do not like it and do not want it.

4) God doesn't like it either. It is not good at all. He may use it for a time, to bring me closer to Him, and it is working. But I still don't like it. I don't like it one bit, and God knows it is not good. See item 3 again.

5) A promise is a promise. Believe it. God is searching the world over for people with faith. Believe Him. I read God's word and Jesus says when you pray, believe, and it will be yours (Mark 11:24). As I read those words and other healing verses do I really believe it? If I told my child his party was in 5 sleeps, he may believe me, and get excited and enjoy the thought with anticipation as the day approaches. Surely he believes it is drawing near. Although a man may fail to deliver a party for his son, surely our God will not fail. Visualize God in heaven looking down and pondering your heart as you meditate on His promises. Are you your father's excited child anticipating the fulfillment of the promise? Don't stop building your faith until your face is like the face of an Angel (like Steven in Acts 6). Does God see a heart in you anticipating daily His promises and the truth of His word? I like the illustration earlier about the concrete. Break down unbelief every day bit by bit. Search for God.

6) The 3rd day he rose again. Believe in the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The actual, real, historical resurrection that really happened. Become a student of history and archeology. Look for the truth, it is there to be found. Solidify your faith. Surely ten out of 12 apostles did not get martyred for a lie. Surely they were all eye witnesses to it and wrote it down. Surely the lame man by the "temple gate called beautiful" walked in Acts 3. Everyone in Jerusalem knew he had never walked a day in his life, but they could not deny the miracle.

Wonderful wonderful article.. Praise God \0/

SURPASSING VICTORY!!

All done through HIM... Almighty God..

Our Father

One of God's redemptive names is found in Exodus 15:26 is Jehovah-Rapha - I am the LORD who heals you.

He was, is, and will be the I AM. Who is man to change the redemptive name of God to I WAS? When exactly did the Lord ever stop being the One who heals us? Who has the authority to change His name? Jesus Christ, the same yesterday, today, and forever!

Notice, He does not say, "I'm going to heal you." It is a "now" thing with God. Just like Hebrews 11 says, "Now faith......"

When one asked a leader of a Hindu nation what would cause them to move towards Christianity he responded with great clarity and directness, “First, I would suggest all you Christians, missionaries and all, must begin to live more like Jesus Christ. Second, practice your religion without adulterating it or toning it down. Third, emphasize love and make it your working force, for love is central in Christianity. Fourth, study the non-Christian religions more sympathetically to find the good that is within them in order to have a more sympathetic approach to the people.”

Halleujah.. I praise Your name Almighty God!! Father we are hearing You!! We are hearing what the Spirit is saying to us!!

Hope you are having a nice Sunday.
Will like to share with you below verses, and I pray God bless our week ahead.


2 kings 6:15-17
And when the servant of the man of God was risen early, and gone forth, behold, an host compassed the city both with horses and chariots. And his servant said unto him, Alas, my master! how shall we do?
And he answered, Fear not: for they that be with us are more than they that be with them.
And Elisha prayed, and said, LORD, I pray thee, open his eyes, that he may see. And the LORD opened the eyes of the young man; and he saw: and, behold, the mountain was full of horses and chariots of fire round about Elisha.


Oh Lord, we pray that you open our eyes too, like the servant of Elijah, and let us see that the Greatest, the most Powerful is with us and for us, yes that God’s healing, deliverance, providence is real, more real and more powerful than our sickness, oppression, lack etc…Let us get hold of the reality of Your Power, Grace and Glory.
Yes, Lord open our eyes, let us see and behold of your Goodness and Glory!

Would like to share a beautiful poem Only a branch by By Freda Hanbury.
Hope it will encourage someone today…Have a nice Sunday!

"I am the vine, ye are the branches."--John 15:5

"Tis only a little Branch,

A thing so fragile and weak,
But that little Branch hath a message trueTo give,
could it only speak.

"I'm only a little Branch
,I live by a life not mine,
For the sap that flows through my tendrils small
Is the life-blood of the Vine.

"No power indeed have I
The fruit of myself to bear,
But since I'm part of the living Vine,
Its fruitfulness I share.

"Dost thou ask how I abide?
How this life I can maintain?—
I am bound to the Vine by life's strong band,
And I only need remain.

"Where first my life was given,
In the spot where I am set,
Upborne and upheld as the days go by,
By the stem which bears me yet.

"I fear not the days to come,
I dwell not upon the past,
As moment by moment I draw a life,
Which for evermore shall last.

"I bask in the sun's bright beams,
Which with sweetness fills my fruit,
Yet I own not the clusters hanging there,
For they all come from the root.

"A life which is not my own,
But another's life in me:
This, this is the message the Branch would speak,
A message to thee and me.

Oh, struggle not to "abide,"

Nor labor to "bring forth fruit,"
But let Jesus unite thee to Himself,
As the Vine Branch to the root.

So simple, so deep, so strong
That union with Him shall be:
His life shall forever replace thine own,
And His love shall flow through thee.

For His Spirit's fruit is love,
And love shall thy life become,
And for evermore on His heart of love
Thy spirit shall have her home.
