No Perishing Point

Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. (James 1:2-4) “In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have...

The Spirit and The Word

“For there are three that testify: the Spirit and the water and the blood; and these three agree.” (1 John 5:7-8) “We must work the works of him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.” (John 9:4, ESV) Before proceeding in the direction I’d like to...

The Need for Apostolic Certitude

“…. he that has seen Me has seen the Father….” -John 14.9 In the October 30th selection of My Utmost for His Highest, Oswald Chambers gives us this awesome thought: Until we know Jesus, God is a mere abstraction, we cannot have faith in Him; but immediately we hear Jesus say-...

Healing for the Follower of Jesus – Why and When?

There are many people in the body of Christ who are asking God these two questions: “WHY? Why have I been prayed for to be healed, and yet, I’m still suffering?” “WHEN? When, Lord, will I be healed?” Perhaps some of you reading this have asked these two questions. You have...

The Hidden Manna

The secret of fasting is denying yourself something you need to survive in this realm to partake of something you need to survive in the spiritual realm. Eating of that realm gives you the substance of that realm. Then you will be able to dish out here, what you have tasted of there. If you are able to...

A common reason I’ve heard that justifies not believing for miracles or divine healing, is the idea that “God wills some to be sick” or there’s some “divine purpose” behind someone’s disease or infirmity. “I prayed, and the sickness never went away, so I guess it’s God’s will for me...
