3 Encounters and one wonderfully healed.

While working a part time sales job at a furniture store. A lady named Lucille came in she is a christian and the verse came up about healing the sick, raising the dead and casting out devils. She said the raising the dead was when we are raised from the dead. Well I didn't debate or try to make any sound Biblical points but just let her have her say and still the fellowship was good. As my attitude was not to prove I was right or the scriptures say and it would not have been a time for that

Then Another fellow came in and he had in the past been in a four square church and was now in a Baptist church. While he enjoyed the teaching there he missed seeing God move in the manifestations of the spirit and gifts in operation. We consider some records in brief from 1 Corinthians 12-14 by the time He left he was filled and blessed with God's desire for his people ot walk in who they are with the Christ in them.

Later one of the sale people Nancy who's background is a Catholic was having severe stomach pains. In the process of speaking with her I ministered simply in the name of Jesus Christ. Her pain left and she was so blessed and touched by God's goodness she came back to me later to say how good she felt. As her day went on she kept a most joyful heart and attitude.

We've got a grreat bit wonderful God.

For your blessing: Prayer of Faith and Prayer in Faith By Kenny Linhart

Until it Finally Comes
06/24/2013

Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.
—Luke 18:1

Have you ever prayed for something that didn't come about right away? I know I have. Not everything that we ask of the Lord manifests immediately. However, just because a thing takes time to come to pass doesn't mean that you are lacking faith. Don't confuse the Prayer of Faith with praying in faith. The two may sound alike, but they are different in origin and in the way they are administered. 

The Word of God explains that there are gifts of faith, which are distributed as the Lord sees fit. There are times in a person's life when God steps in and, by a breath of His Spirit, enlightens them regarding His will. I've had this gift in operation many, many times in our ministry. As I am ministering or preaching, the Holy Spirit will strongly reveal God's will regarding a healing, miracle, or sometimes even a situation that somebody is facing. This revelation creates such a belief and conviction that I know, that I know, that I know if I will pray right then and there, what I'm praying for will manifest immediately. That's the Prayer of Faith! 

This Prayer of Faith is an endowment. It's a divine interruption in the process of my increasing faith. It bolsters my developing faith to hook up with what God desires to accomplish. So what do I do? In obedience and urgency, I pray! The prayer offered in agreement with the powerful revelation from God almost always creates immediate and tangible results. Miracles are birthed into this world through the operation of this gift. It would be wonderful if I could pray this way all of the time, but that's not the way God distributes His giftings.

So how do we pray when the Prayer of Faith or the gift of faith isn't in operation? We pray in faith and in obedience. While the Prayer of Faith only has to be uttered once because it's actually inspired and initiated by God, praying in faith may come from our own desire and take time and patience to see the materialization of what we are seeking. Jesus talked about praying in faith several times. In order to teach us that we should repeatedly come to the Father about the same matter until we see results, Jesus gave the example of the widow who kept coming to the unjust judge. He also illustrated this concept when He told the story of a man who, with boldness and importunity, would not give up until he received his request. This man kept asking his neighbor to help him by providing a late night snack for his unexpected guest. The Bible says that because of his continual asking, the neighbor would give him all he needed.

If the gift of faith doesn't come on you, you simply can't pray the prayer of faith. So what do you do? You pray in faith. You pray with importunity, which means you flood the throne room of God with your request over and over. You can continually ask for the biblical thing you are seeking until it comes. This style of prayer isn't an indication of weakness. This type of insistent beseeching isn't a sign that you're not in faith. Instead, it is the evidence that you are in faith. Jesus told us to pray this way. This manner of continual asking is your obedient faith in action and it will produce results.

If it's biblical, whatever you're asking of God will come. However, it most likely will take time. Whatever you do, don't give up! So how long do we continue believing? How long do we stay in faith and expectancy? How long do we keep praying about it? Jesus explained that we should do these things continually until it finally comes!

Scriptural Context
Luke 18:1-8

Concept Reinforcement
Then he said to them, "Suppose one of you has a friend, and he goes to him at midnight and says, 'Friend, lend me three loaves of bread, because a friend of mine on a journey has come to me, and I have nothing to set before him.' "Then the one inside answers, 'Don't bother me. The door is already locked, and my children are with me in bed. I can't get up and give you anything.' I tell you, though he will not get up and give him the bread because he is his friend, yet because of the man's boldness he will get up and give him as much as he needs. "So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives; he who seeks finds; and to him who knocks, the door will be opened."
—Luke 11:5-10

We do not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith and patience inherit what has been promised.
—Hebrews 6:12

The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. He is patient with you, not wanting anyone to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.
—2 Peter 3:9

Insights, growing and yet more to come

 Today I like to share on two words of knowledge I received and the results and also two other accounts that did not go the way I expected.

The first two were at Sam's club but at different times.

 While I was in line to check out I was seeing an angel behind and above a woman working at the register touching, ministering to her neck. When reaching the front of the line I asked her what was going on with her neck. She stated she had severe arthritis there. Then I offered to pray, minister to her neck which I did. God touched her but because of the line we did not get to speak much a afterward, next time I see her I will need to ask the full results.

 The second there was a lady who was promoting a product at the store and what I perceived was a dark cloud over her and as I pondered the meaning and kept shopping then I was given three words to share with her of specific encouragement. Later I did not want to go speak to her as there was a man selling with her (I didn't want to make a scene or embarrass myself). I figured so what! and went up and shared with her what was I was given to share. She had been going through some trying things in life and God blessed her in a wonderful way. She took quite a bit of time telling me about her life and how what I shared related to her.

Two other accounts.
 Last week there was a fellow missing half of his right arm so I went and spoke with him and found out he had lost it in a piece of machinery. The door opened for me to minister to him. I commanded his arm to grow out. Well you know what, it didn't happen but he opened some of his life and heart to me, he was so glad I took time for him. I encouraged him and we went my ways.
 This reminded me of a similar incident about a year ago with a lady who was missing the same part of her arm but her her case it was from birth she did not have it. I remember holding her stub in my left hand and having my right hand out ready to hold her hand at the moment it appeared, grew out. After speaking to her arm to grow, nothing happened. But again as in the more recent event she was very blessed with the time I took for her and opened her heart to me on some of her life.

From these last two accounts I know I will see body parts grow so that is not the issue for me at the moment. The issue for me was how they responded, how receptive they were to someone taking the time, blessing them, caring about them and telling them they were greatly loved by their God and Father.

More to come.

Blessings in Christ Jesus our risen Lord and Savior.

What I'm learning or relearning.

A couple of basic things have impacted me deeply and in an increasing way.

Man's utter depravity and need for God w/o God we are totally lost. Therefore our need for complete dependence on our Father.
That He has a supply that covers every need, every lack, every shortcoming.
To continually humble oneself, not something others necessarily see as it is not before men.
Its not about you (me).
As He reveals things about yourself, shortcoming, sins and so forth don't run from Him but towards Him. (Jn 3:20, 21)
As he reveals the greatness of who He is in you, give thanks.
To keep seeking our Father at all times.
When God opens a door walk in receiving what He has realizing on my own strength, ability or that I deserved it are in no way related to what He is doing or has done. (on my own I deserved death).
God's supply is often like manna in the Old Testament He supplies what is needed for today. Tomorrows supply will come then.

When He gives insight (words of knowledge) on someones life have a heart to minister in love. Minister as opportunity presents itself to all those in need as the situation arises and presents itself before you. Signs, miracles and wonders are normal for the Christian. The lack of them is not normal.
Every need is an opportunity to see God's handiwork in motion.

Be an encourager
Be a lover of good things
Pray for God's people
Don't judge men like the world does.

Thank you for your prayers and support

The Canvas of God's Presence

Our lives are the canvas on which God is painting the brushstrokes of His life upon (1). He is the master artist who fills our life with the color, sound, voice that is distinctly Him. Being in the image of God. He places His glory in us. It is the Father imparting who He is to us, in us and for us. with the end result we look like Him and we shine as the stars of heaven.

The study of His Word gives us the truth concerning our God and Father who He is, what He has done and His desire to live in us. In one sense the written Word is linear. We see the aspect, the plane, the angle of His life. It is not something we read and it ends there why? Because it is a Living Word it has the life of God in in it. Being a Living Word it must produce the same results today as it did then. God did not nor does He change and His son is the same yesterday, today and forever. Therefore He must produce through us by His son who lives in us the same results today as we read about in Scripture. Signs, miracles and wonders will follow when we have right doctrine and believing (2). If they are not following us then we have experienced the God who was not the God who is.

Yet God is not the God of our understanding for He is the God of the impossible. It is like the Word is a two dimensional aspect it is vital and foundational. Yet He speaks of greater then we can comprehend, understand, apprehend or perceive, beyond human dimension. Everything about God is greater, better, more magnificent then our minds can perceive.

His love is higher, His believing is greater, His forgiveness everlasting, his patience enduring, His expectation unrelenting. His compassion boundless.

His handprint, His impression, and expression of Himself is in us and on us. We are to go forth producing, revealing who the Father is to the world around us.

He is The God of might and miracles it is normal for a believer living the life of God to produce, to evidence the miraculous in their life.

(1) Ephesians 2:10 For we are His workmanship (maerpiece), created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.
(2) Hebrews 4:2 For indeed the gospel was preached to us as well as to them; but the word which they heard did not profit them, not being mixed with faith in those who heard it.

Greatly humbled - no other resource, dying to self, alive in Christ.

Now that my job ends in a week, I find myself asking this, have I really ever fully submitted myself to my God and Father the one who is the lover of my soul. Have I completely trusted Him to take care of me. Now at the end of my rope (my own strength and ability), it is required to completely die to self and live for Him the One who is the Father of my lord and savior Jesus Christ. If He does not come in swiftly as rider on a horse then I would fail and my family would suffer.

Yet I will trust in Him the lover of my soul, my life. I will enter His presence with thanksgiving and trust in His redeeming care. My heart and soul fully bared to Him. My heart cries out to Him, He is the one I look to, to direct my heart.


Jeremiah 10: 21, 23
For the shepherds are stupid
and do not inquire of the Lord;
therefore they have not prospered,
and all their flock is scattered.
I know, O Lord, that the way of man is not in himself,
that it is not in man who walks to direct his steps.

Day of Miracles

When the afternoon session started the minister started to teach and decided to go for miracles first was people with missing cartilage. Then he had people near the person needing the miracle minister over them. One person had been missing cartilage for about 40 years and others for months and years many were restored (this is not healing this is a creative miracle). They testified of how they were delivered and some doing things they could not do before because of joint pain in the past.

Then he went for head trauma, epilepsy and other such things one girl testified how she was healed of (didn't get the whole disease name) 5 months ago from a systemic lupus she was to be dead by 24. It caused fainting spells where she would go into a coma like state for a few minutes to the longest was 2 months she had been totally delivered (only about 100-200 people in the US are diagnosed with this. He testimony was incredible how God had delivered her.

The he had those near those with head trauma and similar things get ministered to. The testimonies of how the incident happened and how they had been in a fog for a year or lost the ability to read and other things, they were in a moment completely delivered. One lady who was delivered the person said you are all sweaty. They were not hot at all it was some (for lack of a better word) heavenly oil that was poured over them their hands and head were covered with this oil? While they were up front testifying a couple of people saw the oil in their hands and head, smelled it and one stated it had the most beautiful fragrance...

There was a woman who testified of having had a tumor in in heart that was removed. But the surgery was botched and they had to take part of the sac around the heart to patch where the tumor was to repair where they took the tumor out. (she used medical terms that I don't know) She said she could always feel her heart beating in her chest after this. She was prescribed over a dozen medicines for her heart. Drs. aid she could not get excited or be involved in any kind of activity that would raise her heart rate. Now her heart had constant flutters and the Drs. said there was nothing else that could be done for her. She was not able to worship near the music as just the sound would cause her heart to flutter.

She came up for prayer Tuesday night and because we had to be out of the auditorium by a certain time, she had tried to get through the 'press' but it was announced we were closing for the night. She had cried out to God said tonight is my night and God make it so clear so obvious to me I'm healed as I wouldn't want to take those medicines and damage my new heart. (Her request was God I don't need a heart repair I need a new heart). Well she pushed ahead and received ministry. She said it was painful like she was being cut open and the heart taken out and replaced. But the heart flutters were gone she had stopped the medicines (since this happened the day before). All the symptoms were gone of her previous condition. She danced and may other things she was not able to do before.

Testimonies also were of a war vet who was delivered from Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome. He woke every night in terrifying dreams and in hot/cold sweats. He wanted to get out of he building even for the fear he had. While he was being ministered to the person ministering said commanded him to look in his eyes (the man wouldn't look at him). His testimony were of many things he suffered from this PTSS and he was delivered from them all.

Healing and miracles of all types and manners occurred. Many testimonies of being cured, delivered.

At during the night at one point the crowd was asked to stand if the had been healed over the last few days more the than 400 people stood testifying to the deliverance from whatever they had, had.
