This was edifying. In the past week or so, the Holy Spirit has been ‘breathing’, constantly showing me many who are sick in many various ways (physical, emotional, etc.). As I looked at these people, what I saw more than their physical state was the intense pain within them. Some sick or handicapped people (especially Christians) have learned to ‘rejoice in the Lord always’ and sometimes berate themselves for being depressed with their state. This sorrow (that’s the word: sorrow) is what the Spirit primarily used (still uses as He works on my own unbelief and doubts) to CONVINCE me that healing (and deliverance, etc.) is indeed still His will. I hear many Christian leaders give trite answers as to why people aren’t [healed], and sometimes, being a young Christian, I hold to what they say. Then the Holy Spirit again takes me to look at people who are sick, handicapped, and just plain BROKEN. He may as well say, “The things those people say, are they true?” Only in looking on the sorrow and MISERY of the broken am I able to FEEL God’s heart on the matter, and I must respond, “It isn’t true. You say in Your Word that You are WILLING to [heal us]. Only Your Word is Truth.” I love what God asked Ezekiel in the valley of dry bones. When He had made sure that Ezekiel had ‘walked about’ among the bones, observing the multitude of ‘broken ones’ and the fact that the bones were very dry (all hope of restoration was lost), THEN He said to Ezekiel, “Son of man, CAN THESE BONES LIVE?” Ezekiel chose his answer very wisely; but I pray that in these times, God’s People will be bolder than Ezekiel when He comes asking and will reply to that question with a simple, “Yes.”

Absolutely, Wanda! This reminds me of an interesting explanation I heard concerning the NT story of the disciples trying to cast out a demon from a little boy. (See Mt 17, Mark 9, Luke 9.) They were unable to deliver him, but when Jesus showed up, He cast the evil spirit out. The disciples asked Jesus about their own inability, and Jesus responded, “This kind comes not out but by prayer and fasting.” We usually assume that “this kind” means “this kind of demonic spirit”. However, it has been suggested that Jesus meant “this kind of unbelief.” This would mean that the disciples were hindered by their lack of faith and expectation, and the only way to increase their faith and expectancy of the supernatural would be to spend time in prayer, time with the God of the supernatural!

I agree. The problem is not with God or His word but in our expectency (i.e. faith level) in that particular area. Our lack of faith makes its it to be ineffective in our lives.

Tom I agree, there is no verse that says God does not heal anymore. The passage most use is found in 1 Corinthians 13:10.

I have written an article on it here: http://www.fireonyourhead.org/2009/01/10/eying-the-perfect/

Part of our heart for this site is to encourage believers who are not experiencing these things and start a fire in their hearts to see the power and miracles of God. Our heart needs to be here to see them expand their visions. Just because they are not here yet, does not mean that they are “so called believers.” So let us work together to share with them the fire of God!

So called believers say that God does not heal anymore.
Yet they can’t point to a single verse in their bible that supports that statement.
That’s because there is no such verse.
I would ask them, when was the last time they ever heard a teaching on healing?
Remember Faith comes from hearing…..No hearing….NO FAITH….
WAKE UP PEOPLE….Jesus Christ is the SAME, yesterday, today and FOREVER.

Prayer and the Power of His Forgiveness. This glory that God is pouring out is more than this earthen vessel can contain. There will be an overflow of His anointing in your life that will cause the blessings of God to pour out upon his people and through out this nation. You will find that this place is too small too restricting. I must increase my dwelling place, I must expand my habitation. Extend the cords, the outreach of the Lords ministry in and through us. He shall cause His breath and His life, the very presence of God to reach all Nations that will yield to His Holy Spirit at this time. Greater works shall ye do in my Name. more to follow…
