Mustard Seed Faith — How To Speak To Mountains and Cast Them Into The Sea

As they passed by in the morning, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. And Peter remembered and said to him, “Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered.” And Jesus answered them, “Have faith in God. Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be...

The “Secret Things Belong to the Lord” misquote

This entry might be well placed in the “classic objections to divine healing” category of my blog. I mean no disrespect to those who suggest, that somehow, in God’s sovereignty, He does things and we don’t know why–and people not getting healed, is in that ‘category’...

Faith Is Selfish

Isn’t that a catchy title? I know that messes with some of your heads and sounds pretty blasphemous to some, but I almost mentioned this in a previous entry on faith, and realized I needed to devote a whole entry to it. This is a detour on the ‘speaking’ theme, but I’ll get right back...

What Did Jesus Command The Disciples Regarding Healing?

Matthew chapter 10: “as YOU go, preach this message” They had to go do it. Simple enough, right? Imagine seeing someone standing on a street corner with their mouth open, and going up to them asking what they are doing. Imagine they tell you that God told them to go preach the Gospel, and you ask...

Why Did Jesus Heal The Way He Did?

The Gospel, and the Kingdom of God That Follows…. This entry makes the assumption that many of my previous entries have been read by the reader prior to this. For more on the subject, please click on the ‘healing’ label/tag at the end of this entry. In Luke 8, Jesus said to His disciples...

If Healing is Provided For in the Atonement, Then…

Do we have any right to believe everyone who gets saved will automatically get healed when they are saved?  Does God make a distinction between healing the inner man versus healing the outer man? Faith needs to be built up in the hearts of the hearers. Faith can only be had where the will of God is known. ...

Dream Big

I’m just chilling in North Carolina at the time of writing this. I’ve mentioned previously that I’m here for a missions conference and an alumni reunion for the Bible school I attended. The theme for the reunion event was Restoration. For the last few weeks God has done a work in my heart and removed...

If He Used Them, He can use Us

The main purpose of this entry is to stir the believing reader up into understanding that if we wait until we are perfect before doing anything for God– then we would never do anything at all. Everybody knows the mistakes the disciples made: Peter rejecting Jesus but how different He was after the Holy...

How come Jesus only healed one man at the Pool of Bethesda?

Man! This blessed my socks off when I came across it. I like reading, studying and writing my own blog entries and not just repeating what other people teach. But when I came across this I figured I best post it, since this man, Curry Blake is out there DOING this very thing. Anyway, it is based on John 5,...

How were we taught to pray?

“Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name.  Your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.  And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from...
