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...

Are Any Among You Sick?

We get the sacred cow barbecue going again, this time with returning guest Joel Crumpton as we discuss healing. What is the number one stumbling block people in the Church face with regard to being healed? What ‘condemns you in your heart’ before God, causing you not to receive healing? Why is it...

Supernatural

A Unique Freedom A friend of mine stated that his hero was Superman, because he had always wanted to fly. There is something inside the heart of a man that longs for total freedom.

Paul’s Thorn In The Flesh, Part 3: Why Does It Matter?

Paul’s Thorn in The Flesh part 2: My Grace is Sufficient?

Our text we’ve been dealing with is found in 1 Corinthians 12:7-10, and today I hope to primarily focus on the second half of that passage. The purpose of this discussion is to demonstrate not only is God not against us, but that he is for us, and a word study and careful look at the word...

Paul’s Thorn in The Flesh, part 1: Messenger of Satan or God?

I have never watched people live in defeat from misunderstanding a passage as much as this one misinterpreted passage of Scripture. Of course I’m talking about how people try telling themselves that God gave them a thorn just like Paul’s, which I politely hope to show is terrible...
