Scripture for Healing

INTRODUCTION

I have seen thousands of people healed through my ministry. I had believed that Jesus could keep me well. I did not go to the doctor for twenty-seven years.

I was ministering in a church in Atlanta, Ga., in 2005 praying for the sick. Hundreds of people were swirling around while I was ministering. No one had been assigned to protect me. Suddenly, a woman grabbed me by the wrist and started running. It occurred so fast, that I couldn’t understand what was happening. She was pulling me and suddenly she let go of my wrist and I fell on the ground on my right side. She was an agent from Satan sent to kill me; I was shocked that I could not get up. The pain was the worst thing that I had ever experienced in my life. However, since I had been well and kept free from sickness, I couldn’t believe that I couldn’t get off the floor.

They took me to an emergency room. They discovered that my femme bone was broken in four places. This is very serious because the femme bone is the largest bone in the body. The doctor said the operation would take three to four hours.  The night before the operation, although heavily drugged on Morphine, I felt something moving the bones in my leg. The next morning ,the doctor told me that when he went in to do the surgery, all the bones were perfectly line up just exactly like he would have put them to  put them together for the operation.  He fixed my leg in fifteen minutes! He was amazed. The doctor told me he just slipped the rod in my leg and tightened the screws.  He cut two small holes about the size of a quarter on the upper-side of my leg. The rod ran from my pelvic to my knee.

Recovery and rehabilitation was painful and the suffering difficult but God healed me. I can walk and I do not have pain in my leg. Why did it happen? I was not accusing God or bitter. But despite of my devastating injuries, I am ministering again! Only God can bring you through these kinds of circumstances. I believe that God is still in the miracle business and my life is a testimony to that fact. God does answer prayers. So many people were praying for me. I have reason for living. I am still seeing His hand on my life. God is real and the Devil is real. The hand of God can preserve my life.

Why did it happen? It was an attack on my life by Satan. The Apostle Paul, he was attacked and left for dead.  Let’s look at the abuse that he suffered. “Are they ministers of Christ?  (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft. 24 Of the Jews five times received I forty stripes save one. 25 Thrice was I beaten with rods, once was I stoned, thrice I suffered shipwreck, a night and a day I have been in the deep; 26 In journeyings  often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils by mine own countrymen, in perils by the heathen, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 27 In weariness and painfulness, in watching’s often, in hunger and thirst, in fasting’s often, in cold and nakedness. 28 Beside those things that are without, that which cometh upon me daily, the care of all the churches…” (II Cor. 11:23-28).

Paul’s adverse circumstances that occurred in his life was properly attributed to the attacks of demonic possessed people and he certainly one of the greatest Saints. Tribulations of this kind were his constant companions. Yet, he suffered for the cause of Christ and burned with zeal to bring the Word to the gentiles. His testimony, despite what the Devil did,  Paul was to bear such hardships, and to wander about like a vagabond, hungry and almost naked, yet coming into the presence of persons of high life, and speaking in large and various assemblies on matters of the utmost importance?  Had not Paul been deeply convinced of the truth and absolute certainty of the Christian religion, he could not have continued to expose himself to such hardships.  Paul just continued his work. I believe that it is not what happens to you but your dedication to Jesus and a burning desire to obey His call will bring you through to victory...

I BELIEVE IN MIRACLES

Like Paul, I had been blessed to overcome the powers of the Devil. And like Paul, I believe that what we do here on this earth for Jesus and His people is important.

Throughout my years in my years of ministry, I’ve seen Jesus heal and deliver so many people; even after this attack happened, He’s continued to heal them. A pastor friend of mine called me and asked me if I would go to the hospital to pray for another pastor’s wife, I’ll call her Mary. She had heart trouble and she was waiting for them to find a heart for a transplant. She showed me the scars on her legs. She told me that they had removed the veins but they could not repair her heart again. She said, “I need a new heart.” I took her by the hand and prayed for her. I asked Jesus to give her a new heart. I saw Jesus give a man a new heart about twenty years ago. So, I had no doubt that Jesus could give her a new heart.

My pastor friend called me the next day to testify. He told me that Mary was going to live. He said, “Pastor Pat, after you left the hospital, about nine o’clock, the hospital received a heart from a man that had been killed in an accident. They took Mary up to the operating room and performed the operation. Mary received a miracle.”

“Oh,” I replied, discouraged because I thought Jesus was going to supernaturally put a new heart into her chest. “Why do you think that was a miracle?”

“Pastor Pat, when they cut her chest open, the doctor placed the heart on the counter. The heart suddenly started beating; before the electric shock, the heart started beating. The doctors were amazed; Jesus truly did give her a new heart!”

Truly, we have seen many miracles before and since Jesus saved my life.  My brother Chuck came to the family Christmas gathering two years ago. He told me that the doctors had found spots on his lungs. He was a smoker. He said, “They say they believe that I have cancer and have about six months to live.” My sister and I prayed with him. Jesus healed him! When he returned to the doctor, the spots were gone!

RAISED FROM THE DEAD

Another story; I got a telephone call from my sister. Shirley’s husband, Tommy, was in intensive care. When I came into the room, he had stopped breathing. I immediately placed my hand on his head and commanded the spirit of death to leave. Tommy’s eyes fluttered and he took a deep breath, he returned to life.

Tommy told me later. “I saw you when you came into the room. I was at the top of the room looking down at my body. I saw you come over and pray for me. Then I instantly felt myself go back into my body.”

VADIM HEALED OF STOMACH CANCER

My husband, Vadim was diagnosed with cancer of the stomach. The doctors operated and took seventy-five percent of his stomach out. The bad news, they told him, “Go home and get your affairs in order. The cancer has spread beyond the walls of your stomach and head for your major organs.”

My husband, Vadim, had a death sentence. When he broke the bad news to me, it just seemed like an impossible case even for God, but spoke to me and said, “I will heal him.” I laid my hands on his stomach and thanked Jesus for healing him. Of course, Vadim did not believe that Jesus would heal him, but the Lord did! Praise the Lord, my husband lived for eighteen years after that evil report. Jesus is alive!

KATHY DOD RAISED BACK TO LIFE

My daughter Kathy was in the passenger seat of a BMW. She and her friend were driving on a winding mountain road. A deer darted in front of the car. Her friend swerved to miss the deer and lost control of the car.

Kathy is tall. She is close to six feet tall. The back window of the car popped out. She came out of the front seat and went through the back window. This is impossible for a person of her size.  I believe an angel rescued her.

The car continued to uncontrollably spin out and hit a telephone pole. The pole snapped and crushed the passenger side of the car. If Kathy had been in the car, she would have instantly been killed!

She was thrown into a field that was full of tall weeds. The rescue searched for several hours but could not find her. An eighteen wheeler trucker came along and he could see her from his cab. They air airlifted her to the hospital where they pronounced dead on arrival.

They called us and told us the bad news. Kathy was DOA at the emergency room. I went into action and prayed. Jesus moved and she returned to life. God is still in the business of working miracles today. She remained in a coma for weeks. God moved again and brought her out of the coma. Kathy is alive today. She had to fight her way back. She had to teach herself to walk again. She used to have an IQ of One hundred and seventy one. However, she had brain damage. She had studied Spanish at the University, but the accident had wiped her Spanish and other things out of her mind.

She moved back home to recover. One day, I found her crying in her room. “What’s the matter honey?”

“Mom, I just want to die.” My mind feels like a deck of cards that have been thrown into air. I can’t think. I wanted to pass the real estate test, but I can’t remember the questions. I just want to die.”

“Honey, I’ll pray for you. Jesus will heal you.”

“Why would He heal me? I don’t know if I even believe in Him anymore.” “Honey, I believe in Him and He’ll heal you because He loves you.” I prayed for her head injury and her mind. Jesus healed her. She passed her test and became a realtor. Jesus healed her brain damage. He’ll do it again. He’s a God of Miracles.

Over the years of my ministry, I’ve seen many people raised up from death’s door in the intensive care.  I’ve seen five people raised from the dead. I’ve seen the blind see, the lame walk, the deaf hear, cancers healed, AIDES healed. I’ve seen the impossible happen.  Though the Devil tried to kill me, God spared me to go another round for His Body of Christ. I believe in Miracles.

Seek Jesus and He will save you!

I know that I am a sinner. I do not deserve to live with you in Heaven someday. But, I believe that you died for my sins, in my place, to make sure I have a place in Heaven. I repent from my sins. Forgive me of my sins, save me Lord Jesus.  I believe You rose from the grave and that You are now preparing a place for me in Heaven. I trust You with my salvation. I accept your free gift of eternal life. Thank You, Jesus! Help me to live a meaningful, purposeful life until You call me home to be with You in Heaven someday. I love You, Jesus. Amen

And speaking of Heaven…the Bible says the angels in heaven rejoice when one is born into the kingdom of God. If you prayed this prayer, believing the words as you said them, the angels are singing your name right now! They’re announcing that one day you will be coming to Glory to be with Jesus and all the others who have gone before us. Praise God.

There are some things you need to do now here on earth until that glorious day when you go to be with the Lord in Heaven.

Tell others about your decision with your mouth and your life.

If you just got a new car wouldn’t you want others to know? Then how much more should we want others to know about this life-changing and eternal decision? Share your faith and live for Christ so that others may see Jesus in you. (In fact, e-mail us at donpiperministires@yahoo.com and share your decision with us.)

Get involved with a local body of believers, a Bible Believing church. There is strength in the family of God: worshiping together; studying God’s Word together; serving others together. But remember, a church is composed of imperfect people. Even the most devoted congregations struggle with their own human weakness sometimes. Be patient as you search for a church and ask God to guide you.

Get a Bible and read it faithfully.

It is God’s instruction book on this life and the one to come. You will find the real Jesus in there. Learn His Word and fellowship with Him.

Pray each day. Talking with God is one of life’s greatest privileges and joys. God created us for fellowship with Him. We just can’t wait to talk to those we love. So, talking to God is a wonderful blessing.

Congratulations on your decision for Christ!

Chapter One

Marked for Illness

LEPER LIKE THE SINNER WAS UNCLEAN

(Lev.13:44).

General Naaman is shown as a man who had climbed to the height of his profession in the Syrian Army. Yet, he is at the same time revealed as a man who has fallen into serious trouble, he was a leper. Leprosy was considered a curse that was caused by sin. Then too because he was considered unclean; he had to be isolated from the people. Being defiled, his only hope was for the mercy and forgiveness of God to overcome. Else, he would have to live alone for the rest of his days. His high position could not save him. His worldly authority could not protect him. His political connections could not deliver him. He was trapped in a body that was full of rottenness and depravity.  He was spiritually poverty-struck. His false gods could not deliver him.

The Bible says (Lev. 13:44-46), “He is a leprous man, he is unclean: the priest shall pronounce him utterly unclean; his plague is in his head. 45 And the leper in whom the plague is, his clothes shall be rent, and his head bare, and he shall put a covering upon his upper lip, and shall cry, Unclean, unclean. 46 All the days wherein the plague shall be in him he shall be defiled; he is unclean: he shall dwell alone; without the camp shall his habitation be.”

The Scripture clearly brings out that the leper was a living parable in the world of the sin of which death was the wages and not the less so because his suffering might have been in no degree due to his own personal deserts. He bore about with him at once the deadly fruit and the symbol of the sin of his race, (Exod. 20:5). As his body slowly perished, first the skin, then the flesh, then the bone, fell to pieces while yet the creatures life survived, he was a terrible picture of the gradual corruption of the spirit worked by sin. 1

The sin factor must be isolated and repented of before the hand of God can move. In the Bible they were segregated from the community. Concerning the phrase, [Dwell alone] more properly, dwell apart; that is, separated from the people, (Lev 13:45). Though this excluded from general contact with society, it is not likely that lepers ceased to be objects of sympathy and kindness, such as they now are in those

Christian and Moslem countries in which the leprosy prevails

That they associated together in the holy land, as they do at present, is evident from (II Kin. 7:3; Lk. 17:12).2 It was considered contagious spiritually and physically. However, today, sin is not usually regarded as an ingredient for healing. It is absolutely, nevertheless, the person make amends to God by repenting for committing the offence. “Have mercy upon me, O LORD; consider my trouble which I suffer of them that hate me, thou that liftest me up from the gates of death: 14 that I may shew forth all thy praise in the gates of the daughter of Zion: I will rejoice in thy salvation,” (Rom. 9:13-14).

GENERAL NAAMAN WAS ALSO MARKED FOR DEATH

It was hopeless. There was no cure. The only remedy was God’s mercy.  He was an awakened leper. Like many awakened sinners, he wanted to live but he was facing death. “Behold, all souls are mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die,” (Ezek. 18:4).

General Naaman was a Syrian who was living under a heathen system of different gods other than the Law of Jehovah Notice that this curse was still enforced upon him. His solution, as you will see, came from God’s prophet.

Some of you have been awakened to the fact that you are a sinner. When you hear the Word you have been awakened to the fact that you are lost, (Jn. 15:22-24). Before becoming awakened, you too were still under the curse of the law. Your sin life will also work in the very same way that General Naaman’s sin did. The Bible says, “For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord,” (Rom. 6:23).

HE WAS MISERABLE IN HIS CONDITION

His past had caught up with him leaving him hopeless. He was soon to be shut out of his home away from his loved ones. Forced to cry "unclean -unclean," (Lev. 13:45) if another person approached him.

Every sinner is miserable when he really sees himself as God sees him. Note (Prov. 13:15), “Good understanding giveth favour: but the way of transgressors is hard.” Also their ignorance of the temporal blessings shown in the Word,”

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God,” (Deut. 28:2). But, this is a solution. He is ignorant of the Living God. How can he repent, commit and have hope?

He had HEAR the truth and REACT UPON THE WORD and so that he could make a decision. He had to humble himself before the God of the universe before he could receive God’s blessing of healing. The Bible shows that though he was captain of the host of the king of Syria he was a great man with his master, God used a simple captive, maid to tell him about where to find help.

“And the Syrians had gone out by companies, and had brought away captive out of the land of Israel a little maid; and she waited on Naaman's wife. 3 And she said unto her mistress, Would God my lord were with the prophet that is in Samaria! For he would recover him of his leprosy. 4 And one went in, and told his lord, saying, Thus and thus said the maid that is of the land of Israel,” (II Kin. 5:2-4).

Although she was a captive, or a slave, her spiritual condition was greater than his. He submitted himself to her words concerning her God and His prophet. Desperation became his equalizer. It was a matter of life and death. Her knowledge of God and her words became powerful. They were life-saving.

SO IT IS WITH THE CONVICTED SINNER

Million needs to hear the same message that General Naaman heard; that message being, “My God saves and heals!” The benefits of God’s mercy concerns people humbling themselves to His Son’s blood sacrifice and accepting Him as Savior. "Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under-foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” (Hebr. 10:29).

New Testament obedience is receiving Jesus! There are millions who know Jesus and see unbelievers in sickness and pain. These Christians never open their mouths to witness to the grace that they have found in Jesus. Christians no longer see the need to express their faith to people that have no hope and are in spiritual darkness. People are on the highway to hell, eternally damned. No one cares.

Evil and misfortunes are enforced on everyone by the Satan. The good news is Jesus Christ came to save that which is lost. (Jn. 10:10), “The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly.”

You must be on guard. The Bible warns, ". . . lest Satan should take advantage of us; for we are not ignorant of his devices," (II Cor. 2:11). It is a device for Satan to whisper in a believer’s ear. “Don’t talk about Jesus; who are you? Don’t tell that person about your healing, he won’t believe you anyway. Don’t share that your minister has a miracle ministry; this person is an unbeliever. And so on and so on. When you keep your mouth shut, you are simply obeying Satan’s will to keep the lid on God’s mercy and power to love, save and heal.

General Namaan still wanted to take control of his life and do it in his own way. When the prophet told him a simple thing, he became angry. It was a simple instruction, “go and wash seven time in the Jordan river, and thy flesh shall come again to thee and thou shall be made clean,” (II Kin. 5:10).

Think about this. General Naaman had traveled a far distance to be healed. Yet, he got angry when the prophet of God told him what to do! General Naaman was thinking that the physical river back home where he worshipped the water gods was also connected to the prophet of God to heal his body. He noted that “the Abana is the Barada, or true river of Damascus, which, rising in the anti-Libanus,” flows westward from its foot and forms the oasis within which Damascus is placed. The river Pharpar is usually identified with the Awaaj. Naaman thinks that if washing in the river is used by the man of to heal him, then his own rivers may serve the purpose. Their water was brighter, clearer, and colder than that of Jordan. 3 However, it was not the natural waters that this prophet needed, it was the rivers of living water and his obedience to humble himself before God’s man and be obedient to his word. God wanted to teach him that it was not the river gods nor the particular river that healed him. His healing would come through his subjection to the Living God. Remember, Jesus spoke of the rivers of living waters to the woman by the well.

People act exactly like General Naaman today

They want God to heal them without obedience to God. They want to keep their old ways but they want to be healed to continue those ways. They will actually come to a miracle ministry church for healing and deliverance but want to return to play-time Christianity church. They are not hungry for God or His Word, they just want to return to sin and live. As Frank Sinatra used to sing, “I Did it My Way.” However, when you do it your way, God will not keep you in His blessings.

In his anger, General Naaman, devised a solution to his dilemma

“And Elisha sent a messenger unto him, saying, Go and wash in Jordan seven times, and thy flesh shall come again to thee, and thou shalt be clean.

11 But Naaman was wroth, and went away, and said, Behold, I thought, He will surely come out to me, and stand, and call on the name of the Lord his God, and strike his hand over the place, and recover the leper.

12 Are not Abana and Pharpar, rivers of Damascus, better than all the waters of Israel? may I not wash in them, and be clean? So he turned and went away in a rage,” (II Kin. 5:10-12).

OBEDIENCE IS BETTER THAN SACRIFICE

Your thoughts are not God’s thoughts. Obedience is better than sacrifice.  The fact is God can still heal today. His Word is alive. (Heb. 4:12), “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

Like General Naaman, people will do everything AND DO MUCH TO BE CURED, but obey the Word and God,” (II Kin.5:5).

THE BLOOD OF JESUS IS OUR EQUALIZER

Another area, that modern people think that they have an advantage, is having important positions; or money; gated community; designer clothes; their own knowledge. There are false prophets that will spiritually play and gouge with these kinds of people. They will promise them the moon and charm them for money. Also they will bewitch the poor and collect their money, promising them wealth if they give to their ministry.

General Namaan came prepared to buy his healing. He brought a letter from the king and 10 talents of silver - $19,400.00 and 6000 pieces of gold. He brought 10 suits of clothes for the prophet. Like every sinner, he is willing to do penance, good works in order to ride to heaven in the chariot of his own making.

Note: (Tit. 3:5). Salvation by works is impossibility. (See Rom. 4:3, 4, 13, 17-24. Rom. 10:10-13).

HE WAS DISSATISFIED WITH THE REMEDY PROPOSED

In (II Kin. 5:10-12), the great general was wroth because he was humiliated. (He despised the muddy waters of Jordan, (Matt. 18:3); “God's way is the only way,” (Jn. 14: 6).

When you are seeking a miracle, You are not favoring God, you are being favored. God's way to salvation by Grace. His way, strips the sinner of self-righteousness, lays bare his wicked heart, forces him to side with God, against himself. “How can ye believe, which receive honour one of another, and seek not the honour that cometh from God only?”  (Jn. 5:44).HE WAS SHUT UP TO ONE REMEDY.

It was dip in the Jordan or die

(II Kin. 5:10). “Truthfully, the sinner it is believe or perish,” (Jn. 3:18). Others could plead with him but could not dip for him. (II Kin. 5:13). HE SUBMITTED TO GOD'S WAY, (II Kin. 5:14).

When the SINNER will do as GOD BIDS HIM DO He will be SAVED, (Jn. 3:14, 15; Acts 16:30, 31, 34). He (Jesus) is the One who will present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy (Jude 24). It is the Spirit who changes us (II Cor. 3-18). We are His workmanship-created in Christ Jesus, (Eph. 2:10).

Chapter Two

The God of Medicine

HEALING

"In Roman mythology, Aesculapius was the god of medicine. His symbol was a staff with a snake coiled about it. According to the legend, he had received a healing herb (drug) from a serpent's mouth.  The connection between the serpent and sorcery pharmakia in the Greek New Testament) has continued to the present day. Aesculapius' staff now has not one but two serpents coiled around it in the familiar and honored emblem of modern medicine. The tradition behind this symbol is kept alive by the medical profession. Though the name of Jesus Christ and prayers to God the Father has been excluded from our schools, at the time the doctors receive their M. D.  Degrees of medical colleges, graduates still repeat in unison the ancient Hippocratic Oath which begins: "I swear by Apollo the Physician, by Aesculapius, by Hygeia, Panacea, AND ALL THE GODS AND GODDESSES."

GOD OF HEALING

"The blessing of the Lord be upon you." (Psa. 129:8).

Sickness a blessing or a curse?”

God says “I am the Lord that health thee,” (Exod. 15:26). That word of promise will endure forever!

“(Blessed [be] the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly [places] in Christ :), (benefits concerning people that have obeyed God by choosing Jesus Christ's Blood Sacrifice).

THE CENTRAL MESSAGE OF THE CHURCH

The Church was purchased with the precious blood of the Eternal Son of God, therefore, like Him is eternal. Jesus said, “upon this rock” (Petra) “I will build my church.” The Church is not built upon Peter, but it is built upon Christ. Every born again member of the church shares mutual citizenship and each belongs to the household of God, “Now, therefore, ye are no more strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God,” (Eph. 2:19).

There is a divine person living in the Church. Each member of the church is indwelt by the Spirit of God, “Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (Cor. 3:16).

The members indwelt by the Holy Spirit form a glorious temple where God dwells in a special way by His Holy Spirit, “In whom ye also are builded together for an habitation of God through the Spirit,” (Eph. 2:22). The Holy Spirit indwells permanently each Christian and the corporate body of Christians in the church. The church is the dwelling place of God. 4

The Christian has a unique relationship with Jesus.

Jesus is shown as the Head of the church and the members are called His Body. He has given his believers a power of attorney to act against the power of Satan. It is essential to believe the gospel and everything it teaches for believers.

“All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: 17 That the man of God may be perfect thoroughly furnished unto all good works,” (II Tim. 3:16-17).

Repentance and renunciation of all sin and wrong doing is another requirement (Acts 26:18; II Cor.  6:17); a Christian’s obedience to the gospel and seeking to be endued with power (Lk. 11:13; 24:49; 5:32.); surrender to God, walk and live in the Spirit, (Rom. 8:1-2, 8:10, 13-16; Gal. 6:26; Col. 3:17); learn to pray in faith, (Jam.1:5-8; Hebr.11:6.); believe in your mission in life as a representative of God, (Acts 1:8.); know your position in Christ, (Eph.2:6); learn to use the name of Jesus in accordance with the Word of God, (Acts 3:16; 4:12; Jn.14:12-15; 16; 23-26; Col. 3:17; Jn.15: 7-16; 13:35)  5

DOES GOD WANT YOU SICK?

Some Christians say, "Perhaps God has seen this disease on my body. Maybe it is God's will for me to be sick. Possibly it is His blessing in disguise. It may be one of the mysterious ways in which He works out good things in my life. The Lord is trying to teach me something through this illness." The Bible says, "For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them," (Lk. 9:56). Satan is your adversary. Demons are your enemies, not God! “They are jealous of your heritage and will seek to impede your process and cheat you out of your legacy.

Demons have no legal right to continue to oppress and afflict those who are saved with disease and infirmities, "He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil," (I Jn. 3:8).

Demons take advantage of many Christians who do not know that Satan has made a complete surrender and has been defeated by Jesus' cross, "(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds)," (II Cor. 10:4).

Through biblical ignorance when Christians do not know about Satan's legal defeat, he operates unhindered. (Eph. 6:12), "For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places."

The Word of God declares Satan's absolute destruction. Christians must recognize their enemy's tactics of warfare and be skilled in ability and faith to drive him out.

"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases,” (Lk. 9:1),

Jesus conferred upon every believer the right to use His Name against devil! "And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues," (Mk. 16:17).

God designates sickness captivity, (Job 42:10; 2-7).

The Scripture show that the healing of Job as deliverance from captivity. Jesus came to set the captives free! (Lk. 4:18), "The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and  recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"

Jesus calls sickness bondage!

"And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day," (Lk. 13:16),

,

"And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity."  Satan had this woman bound by the power of placing an infirmity upon her body. Bondage is never the will of God because he sent Jesus to set the captive free. "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed,” (Jn. 8:36).

Believers are promised victory over Satan and every demon power.

God does his part. He gives us the power to do our part. Believers are taught to engage aggressively in spiritual warfare, (Eph. 6:10-18). We have been raised with Christ (Eph. 1:19-21); seated with Christ in heavenly places (Eph. 2:6); and empowered to reign for Christ on earth (Rom. 5:17) The spiritual armour (also known as the armour of light, (Rom. 13:12), is highly effective against every onslaught of the enemy, and victory is promised (Eph.  6:13).Through the victory of Jesus, our victory is also assured.  The authority Adam and Eve forfeited in Eden was regained at Calvary when Jesus Christ became our ransom (Eph. 1:7; I Tim. 2:60). Satan has no legal claim over the believer living in discipleship, (Jam. 4:7), "Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you".

The Doctrine of Healing The Sick

"For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. Old Testament: (Jer. 30:17).

It is God's will for His people to be healed.

The doctrine of healing is shown in both Old and New Testaments Israel had received forty years of miracle food, miracle water, a miracle cloud by day, miracle fire by night, miracle protection, miracle clothes that never wore out.

Moses told them: ". . . These forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing," (Deut. 2:7). And yet still they doubted Him. All but two of those who had witnessed these miracles died in the wilderness--in total unbelief.  We are like Israel.

We want God to speak a word, grant us a miraculous deliverance, quickly meet our needs, remove all our pain and suffering.  "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise healing in his wings,” (Mal. 4:2). "Old Lord, my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me," (Psa. 30:2). "Who forgiveth all thing iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases," (Psa. 103:3).

"He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds," (Psa. 143).

“With his Stripes are we healed, But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed,” (Isa. 53:5).

[But he was wounded] Margin, 'Tormented.' Jerome and the Septuagint also render this, 'He was wounded.' Junius and Tremellius, 'He was affected with grief.' The Chaldee has given a singular paraphrase of it, showing how confused was the view of the whole passage in the mind of that interpreter. 'And he shall build the house of the sanctuary which was defiled on account of our sins, and which was delivered on account of our iniquities. And in his doctrine, peace shall be multiplied to us. And when we obey his words, our sins shall be remitted to us.' The Syriac renders it in a remarkable manner, 'He is slain on account of our sins,' thus showing that it was a common belief that the Messiah would be violently put to death. The word rendered 'wounded' mªcholaal, is a Pual participle, from chaalal, to bore through, to perforate, to pierce; hence, to wound (I Sam 31:3; I Chron. 10:3; Ezek. 28:9).

There is probably the idea of painful piercing, and it refers to some infliction of positive wounds on the body, and not to mere mental sorrows, or to general humiliation. The obvious idea would be that there would be some act of piercing, some penetrating wound that would endanger or take life. Applied to the actual sufferings of the Messiah, it refers undoubtedly to the piercing of his hands, his feet, and his side. The word 'tormented,' in the margin, was added by our translators because the Hebrew word might be regarded as derived from chuwl, to writhe, to be tormented, to be pained-a word not unfrequently applied to the pains of parturition. But it is probable that it is rather to be regarded as derived from chaalal, "to pierce, or to wound." 6 (Isa. 53:5).

[For our transgressions] The prophet here places himself among the people for whom the Messiah suffered these things, and says that he was not suffering for his own sins, but on account of theirs. The preposition 'for' min here answers to the Greek dia, on account of, and denotes the cause for which he suffered and means, even according to Gesenius (Lex.), here, 'the ground or motive on account of, or because of which anything is done.' Compare (Deut. 7:7; Judg. 5:11; Est. 5:9; Psa. 68:30; Song 3:8). It is strikingly parallel to the passage in (Rom. 4:25), 'Who was delivered for dia our offences.' Compare (II Cor. 5:21; Heb. 9:28; I Pet.  2:24). Here the sense is, that the reason why he thus suffered was that we were transgressors. All along the prophet keeps up the idea that it was not on account of any sin of which he was guilty that he thus suffered, but it was for the sins of others-an idea which is everywhere exhibited in the New Testament.

[He was bruised] The word used here daakaa' means properly to be broken to pieces, to be bruised, to be crushed (Job 6:9; Psa. 72:4). Applied to mind, it means to break down or crush by calamities and trials; and by the use of the word here, no doubt, the most severe inward and outward sufferings are designated. The Septuagint renders it, [memalakista]-`He was rendered languid,' or feeble. The same idea occurs in the Syriac translation. The meaning is that he was under such a weight of sorrows on account of our sins, that he was, as it were, crushed to the earth. How true this was of the Lord Jesus it is not necessary here to pause to show.

[The chastisement of our peace] That is, the chastisement by which our peace is effected or secured was laid upon him; or, he took it upon himself,' and bore it, in order that we might have peace. Each word here is exceedingly important, in order to a proper estimate of the nature of the work performed by the Redeemer. The word 'chastisement' muwcaar, properly denotes the correction, chastisement, or punishment inflicted by parents on their children, designed to amend their faults (Prov.22:15; 23:13). It is applied also to the discipline and authority of kings (Job 22:18); and to the discipline or correction of God (Job 5:17; Hos.5:2). Sometimes it means admonition or instruction, such as parents give to children, or God to human beings. It is well rendered by the Septuagint by paideia; by Jerome, Disciplina. The word does not of necessity denote punishment, though it is often used in that sense. 7 “But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed,” (Isa. 53:5).

[And with his stripes] Margin, 'Bruise.' The word used here in Hebrew chabuwraah means properly stripe, weal, bruise, that is, the mark or print of blows on the skin. Greek mooloopi; Vulgate, Livore. On the meaning of the Hebrew word, see the notes at (Isa. 1:6). It occurs in the following places, and is translated by stripe, and stripes (Exod. 21:25, bis); bruises (Isa. 1:6); hurt (Gen. 4:23); blueness (Prov. 20:30); wounds (Psa. 38:5); and spots, as of a leopard (Jer. 13:23).

The proper idea is the weal or wound made by bruising; the mark designated by us when we speak of its being 'black and blue.' It is not a flesh wound; it does not draw blood; but the blood and other humors are collected under the skin. The obvious and natural idea conveyed by the word here is, that the individual referred to would be subjected to some treatment that would cause such a weal or stripe; that is, that he would be beaten, or scourged. How literally this was applicable to the Lord Jesus, it is unnecessary to attempt to prove (see Matt. 37: 26). It may be remarked here, that this could not be mere conjecture

How could Isaiah, seven hundred years before it occurred, conjecture that the Messiah would be scourged and bruised? It is this particularity of prediction, compared with the literal fulfillment, which furnishes the fullest demonstration that the prophet was inspired. In the prediction nothing is vague and general. All is particular and minute, as if he saw what was done, and the description is as minutely accurate as if he was describing what was actually occurring before his eyes.

[We are healed] literally, it is healed to us; or healing has happened to us. The healing here referred to, is spiritual healing, or healing from sin. Pardon of sin, and restoration to the favor of God, are not unfrequently represented as an act of healing. The figure is derived from the fact that awakened and convicted sinners are often represented as crushed, broken, bruised by the weight of their transgressions, and the removal of the load of sin is represented as an act of healing. 'I said, O Lord, be merciful unto me; heal my soul, for I have sinned against thee' (Psa. 41:4). “Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed' (Psa. 6:2). 'Who forgiveth all thine, iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases (Psa. 103:3). The idea here is, that the Messiah would be scourged; and that it would be by that scourging that health would be imparted to our souls.

It would be in our place, and in our stead; and it would be designed to have the same effect in recovering us, as though it had been inflicted on ourselves. And will it not do it? Is it not a fact that it has such an effect? Is not a man as likely to be recovered from a course of sin and folly, who sees another suffer in his place what he ought himself to suffer, as though he was punished himself? Is not a wayward and dissipated son quite as likely to be recovered to a course of virtue by seeing the sufferings which his career of vice causes to a father, a mother, or a sister, as though he himself When subjected to severe punishment? When such a son sees that he is bringing down the gray hairs of his father with sorrow to the grave; when he sees that he is breaking the heart of the mother that bore him; when he sees a sister bathed in tears, or in danger of being reduced to poverty or shame by his course, it will be far more likely to reclaim him than would be personal suffering, or the prospect of poverty, want, and an early death. And it is on this principle that the plan of salvation is founded. We shall be more certainly reclaimed by the voluntary sufferings of the innocent in our behalf, than we should be by being personally punished. Punishment would make no atonement, and would bring back no sinner to God. But the suffering of the Redeemer in behalf of mankind is adapted to save the world, and will in fact arrest, reclaim, and redeem all who shall ever enter into heaven, (Isa. 53:5).

SIN IS A CRIME

(Sin is not only a crime for which we were condemned to die, and which Christ purchased for us the pardon of, but it is a disease which tends directly to the death of our souls, and which Christ provided for the cure of. By his stripes, that is, the sufferings he underwent, he purchased for us the Spirit and grace of God, to mortify our corruptions, which are the distempers of our souls; and to put our souls in a good state of health, that they may be fit to serve God, and prepare to enjoy him. And by the doctrine of Christ's cross, and the powerful arguments it furnisheth us with against sin, the dominion of sin is broken in us, anal we are fortified against that which feeds the disease-Henry). 8

Chapter Three

God Heals Today

PROSPER AS THY SOUL PROSPERETH

"I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth," (III Jn. 2).

GOD HEALS TODAY

The author has been blessed to see Jesus raise many people from the dead. Tillie, was a lady who had been deeply involved in witchcraft. She came looking for deliverance. This lady was having seizures. She jumped out of her seat one day at one of our meetings. She ran to the back of the church and fell down. She began to have a severe seizure. Her eyes sunk to the back of her head and she stopped breathing and she died. We prayed over her for forty five minutes. She came back alive! Dr. Julie Burke, of Jacksonville, Florida witnessed this resurrection from death back to life. This author has seen five people raised from the dead and untold numbers raised in the intensive care units.

I’ve seen all kinds of incredible miracles such as, incurable deceases get healthy again. The blind see, lame walk, cancer, hearts, livers, diabetes, muscular dystrophy, Aides, etc. healed. I believe that Jesus can do anything. I once was called to the hospital to pray for a woman. She told me that she needed a new heart. She had been operated several times. She showed me her legs where veins had been removed. I prayed that Jesus would give her a new heart.

The Next day, I received a call from Pastor Hernandez. He told me that she received a new heart at nine o’clock. “The heart came in from someone that had died in an automobile accident. They took her up to the operation room and cut her chest open. Someone had laid the heart on the table. It suddenly started beating before the doctors had given it the electro shock treatment. The doctors were shocked.  I told Pastor Hernandez, “I guess that Jesus wanted her to know that He truly did give her a new heart! Hallelujah!

Over the years, I’ve seen the Lord heal AIDES many times. Kevin has been healed of AIDES.  He was in the intensive care in May 1998. His mother was told by the doctor that all hope was over and advised her that all the machines should be turned off. Marilyn asked for time to pray. The Hindu doctor reinforced his diagnosis but she insisted. God gave Kevin the strength to recover enough to come to Miracle Outreach Ministries. Jesus did the rest. Kevin was instantly delivered from the infirmity in June. He received a clear blood test without a trace of the disease and August 2, Kevin returned to work driving an 18-wheeler truck! He is doing well, to God be the glory.

Kevin got married and a little girl was born. The child is about five years old now. Jesus Christ can do anything!

A former minister came to us. She had stopped preaching for several years. However, she had an eye that was stuck in the corner of her left eye. It was frozen. When I prayed for her, I laid my hand over the eye and ask Jesus to heal her. Suddenly, her eye began to move. I seemed to circle around and around. It was the most amazing thing. Then the eye came to the center and stopped. She returned the name week and told us that she could see!

Annette was healed of cancer in July. She shouts it from the rooftops that Jesus Christ is still alive and cares about her.

TURRETS SYNDROME

Barry was delivered from Turrets Syndrome. He had been afflicted with this illness since he was thirteen-years-old. He twenty-five now and his face is lit up with God’s glory.

Nancy has been sick with a strange decease called Torticollis Syndrome. This terrible infirmity had affected the muscles in her face and would throw her upper body into uncontrollable spasms. She had been living with this disorder since the seventies. She was instantly delivered. The praise goes to Jesus Christ.

Nancy told a strange story of an infiltration of her home prayer meeting. She was working for a Catholic College. She said a nun began coming to her prayer meeting.  She didn’t think anything about it because she’d seen nuns where she was working. However, this nun began to bring mixtures of oil with other things. She’d rub the mixture on the bodies of Nancy’s children. Then the nun would take her veil off and rub the concoction on her head. Soon mushrooms began to grow out of Nancy’s carpet.

Then one day a friend came to Nancy’s home and pointed out that all the crucifixes in the house were bound by cords. “Only the eyes were not bound.” Nancy’s friend told her that the nun was practicing Hoodoo.” The binding of the cross was to keep the family from serving Jesus Christ!”

Nancy’s house was destroyed. Divorce, and then the children fell away from Christ. Nancy has been able to hang onto Jesus since these strange phenomenons began. She was a captive of Torticollis which distorted her face and she was bound by devils in every area of her life.  All her finances were drained by doctors and medications.

Jesus Christ, through the anointing of the miracle-deliverance ministry, set Nancy totally free from the powers of witchcraft. This is glorious, but at the same time, it is very sad that Nancy suffered these ungodly torments .

ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMICAL POISONING

Another woman, whom I will call Jesse, received deliverance from environmental chemical poisoning was healed. This woman also has walked through many years of violent demonic bondage and torment because the American Church does not want to set the captives free.

Jesse was bound to the point that she could hardly leave her home. She could not even read the Bible because of the allergies of the ink. During her deliverance she was screaming with great pain in her head. Evil spirits were seen walking around her house. She could see them. They were tormenting her day and night. Jesse was radiant when Jesus delivered her. She was ecstatic when the kingdom of God came upon her.

Another young man came and he was in the choir. He was being tormented by a spirit of homosexuality. After being set free, his face was beaming. ‘Only Jesus Christ could do this,’ he said.

Jesus wants to awaken His people spiritually and stretch our faith to walk in the signs that accompany those who believe. Carlos Anaconda says in his book, Listen to.  Me, Satan  “When we assume our rights by faith, we are equipped to exercise authority over all the demonic powers of this world. If Satan is controlling a person or situation, we have the power to cast him out, since we have recovered all the divine power of the cross of Jesus Christ.

It is our desire to enlighten those who are born again Christians who want to follow the Lord Jesus Christ and be “peculiar and separated people,” (I Pet. 2:9), pleasing the Father.

Yes, the Lord Jesus Christ does heal and deliver people today and the Bible shows that the nations will be healed when He returns. “...the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations," (Rev. 22:4).

LOOK TO YOUR HEALTH

Izaak Walton writes: "Look to your health; and if you have it, praise God, and value it next to a good conscience; for health is the second blessing that we mortals are capable of; a blessing that money cannot buy.”

Chapter Four

Healing is Body, Soul and Spirit

MAN IS A THREE - PART BEING

He has a spirit, soul and body.

God's will for our being is found, (I Thess. 5:23).  "And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul  and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ."

"A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you," (Ezek. 36:26).

“The spirit indeed is willing, but the flesh is weak,"(Matt. 26:41).

William Shakespeare "Heaven take my soul, and England keep my bones!"

God is interested in all parts of your being and personality.9

"How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with  him," (Acts 10:38).

- Parts must be sanctified, (I Cor. 6:19, 20).

- The blessings and curses work in all three parts of your being

- The prophet Isaiah told Hezekiah to set his house in order

- We must get our house (Temple-body) in order.

CURSES AND BLESSINGS

The Bible shows numerous curses and blessings. The curses are enforced upon a person who disobeys God's commandments and laws.

“Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is. For he shall be as a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out her roots by the river, and shall not see when heat cometh, but her leaf shall be green; and shall not be careful in the year of drought, neither shall cease from yielding fruit.” (Jer. 17:7-8).

The famous evangelist, C.H. Spurgeon expressed by writing, “The first clause of the high priests’ benediction is substantially a promise from God says,  The Lord bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The Lord make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The Lord lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace.” (Num. 6:24-26). The blessing which our great High Priest, Jesus, pronounces upon us is sure to come, for He speaks the mind of God,” [1]

What a joy to abide under the divine blessing! This puts a gracious flavor into all things. If we are blessed, then all our possession and enjoyments are blessed, yea, our losses and crosses, and even our disappointments are blessed. God’s blessing is deep, emphatic, and effectual. A man’s blessing may begin and end in words, but the blessing of the Lord makes rich and sanctifies. The best wish we can have for our dearest friend is not “May prosperity attend thee, but The Lord bless thee.”[2]

It is equally a delightful thing to be kept of God kept by him, kept near Him. They are kept indeed whom God keeps, they are preserved from evil, and they are reserved unto boundless happiness. God’s keeping goes with His blessing to establish it and cause it to endure.

Spurgeon finishes by saying, “It is my desire that the rich blessing and sure keeping here pronounced may come upon every reader who may at this moment be looking at these lines. Please breathe the text to God as a prayer for His servants.”

“And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, 23 Speak unto Aaron and unto his sons, saying, On this wise ye shall bless the children of Israel, saying unto them, 24 The LORD bless thee, and keep thee: 25 The LORD make his face shine upon thee, and be gracious unto thee: 26 The LORDS lift up his countenance upon thee, and give thee peace. 27 And they shall put my name upon the children of Israel; and I will bless them,” (Num. 6:22, 27, 22).

“The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto,” (Deut. 28:8).

If we obey the Lord our God, He will bless that which He gives us. Riches are not curses when blessed of the Lord. When men have more than they require for their immediate need and begin to lay up in storehouses, the dry rot of covetousness of the blight of hand-heartedness is apt to follow the accumulation; but with God’s blessing it is not so. Providence prepares the saving, liberality directs the spending, appreciation maintains consecration and praise placates enjoyment. It is a great mercy to have God’s blessing in one’s iron safe and on one’s banking account. What favor is made our by the last clause?

“Thou shalt surely give him, and thine heart shall not be grieved when thou givest unto him: because that for this thing the LORD thy God shall bless thee in all thy works, and in all that thou puttest thine hand unto,” (Deut. 15:10).

We would not put our hand to anything upon which we dare not ask God’s blessing, neither would we go about it without prayer and faith, but what a privilege to be able to for the Lord’s help in every undertaking. Some talk of a lucky man, the blessing of the Lord is better than luck. The backing of the great is nothing to the favor of God. Self-confidence is all very well; the Lord’s blessing is amazingly more than all the fruit of talent, genus, or fact.

And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the Lord thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:

2 And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God.

3 Blessed shalt thou be in the city, and blessed shalt thou be in the field.

4 Blessed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy ground, and the fruit of thy cattle, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

5 Blessed shall be thy basket and thy store.

6 Blessed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and blessed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

7 The Lord shall cause thine enemies that rise up against thee to be smitten before thy face: they shall come out against thee one way, and flee before thee seven ways.

8 The Lord shall command the blessing upon thee in thy storehouses, and in all that thou settest thine hand unto; and he shall bless thee in the land which the Lord thy God giveth thee.

9 The Lord shall establish thee an holy people unto himself, as he hath sworn unto thee, if thou shalt keep the commandments of the Lord thy God, and walk in his ways.

10 And all people of the earth shall see that thou art called by the name of the Lord; and they shall be afraid of thee.

11 And the Lord shall make thee plenteous in goods, in the fruit of thy body, and in the fruit of thy cattle, and in the fruit of thy ground, in the land which the Lord sware unto thy fathers to give thee.

12 The Lord shall open unto thee his good treasure, the heaven to give the rain unto thy land in his season, and to bless all the work of thine hand: and thou shalt lend unto many nations, and thou shalt not borrow.

13 And the Lord shall make thee the head, and not the tail; and thou shalt be above only, and thou shalt not be beneath; if that thou hearken unto the commandments of the Lord thy God, which I command thee this day, to observe and to do them:

14 And thou shalt not go aside from any of the words which I command thee this day, to the right hand, or to the left, to go after other gods to serve them,” (Deut. 28:1-15-28).

You must understand that Jesus Christ wants you walk under His divine blessings.

"And God said unto Balsam, Thou shalt not go with them; thou shalt not curse the people: for they are blessed, " (Num. 22:12).

"And Balak's anger was kindled against Balsam, and he smote his hands together: and Balak said unto Balsam, I called thee to curse mine enemies, and, behold, thou hast altogether blessed them these three times," (Num. 24:10).

Notice that Balsam could not curse God's people.

"How shall I curse, whom God hath not cursed? or how shall I defy, whom the LORD hath not defied?” (Num. 23:8).

"As the bird by wandering, as the swallow by lying, so the curse causeless shall not come,” (Prov. 26:2),

We must take away the advantages given the enemy through unable to forgive and bitterness by closing these doors .

"To whom ye forgive anything, I forgive also. For if I forgive anything to whom I forgave it  for your  sakes forgave I it in the person of Christ. Lest Satan should get an advantage of us for we are not ignorant of his devices," (II Cor. 2:10-11).

He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has needed to be forgiven,10

The consequences of not forgiving is being delivered into the hands of tormenting spirits.

- It affects your relationship with God.

- Your relationship with people.

- Your relationship with yourself.

- "The narrow soul knows not the godlike glory of forgiving,"11

Failing to appropriate grace into your life can lead to a root of bitterness springing up within.

- You turn on everyone.

- It tears the spirit.

- Poisons the soul.

- Brings in deception.

- Leads to immorality.

- Builds walls of isolation.

- Leaves a trail of broken relations.

CURSES WILL COME

Curses and blessings are shown in (Deut. 28: 15).

Born again Christians have every right to claim freedom from these curses that are shown in the Old Testament.

“But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee:

16 Cursed shalt thou be in the city, and cursed shalt thou be in the field.

17 Cursed shall be thy basket and thy store.

18 Cursed shall be the fruit of thy body, and the fruit of thy land, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep.

19 Cursed shalt thou be when thou comest in, and cursed shalt thou be when thou goest out.

20 The Lord shall send upon thee cursing, vexation, and rebuke, in all that thou settest thine hand unto for to do, until thou be destroyed, and until thou perish quickly; because of the wickedness of thy doings, whereby thou hast forsaken me.

21 The Lord shall make the pestilence cleave unto thee, until he have consumed thee from off the land, whither thou goest to possess it.

22 The Lord shall smite thee with a consumption, and with a fever, and with an inflammation, and with an extreme burning, and with the sword, and with blasting, and with mildew; and they shall pursue thee until thou perish.

23 And thy heaven that is over thy head shall be brass, and the earth that is under thee shall be iron.

24 The Lord shall make the rain of thy land powder and dust: from heaven shall it come down upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

25 The Lord shall cause thee to be smitten before thine enemies: thou shalt go out one way against them, and flee seven ways before them: and shalt be removed into all the kingdoms of the earth.

26 And thy carcase shall be meat unto all fowls of the air, and unto the beasts of the earth, and no man shall fray them away.

27 The Lord will smite thee with the botch of Egypt, and with the emerods, and with the scab, and with the itch, whereof thou canst not be healed.

28 The Lord shall smite thee with madness, and blindness, and astonishment of heart:

29 And thou shalt grope at noonday, as the blind gropeth in darkness, and thou shalt not prosper in thy ways: and thou shalt be only oppressed and spoiled evermore, and no man shall save thee.

30 Thou shalt betroth a wife, and another man shall lie with her: thou shalt build an house, and thou shalt not dwell therein: thou shalt plant a vineyard, and shalt not gather the grapes thereof.

31 Thine ox shall be slain before thine eyes, and thou shalt not eat thereof: thine ass shall be violently taken away from before thy face, and shall not be restored to thee: thy sheep shall be given unto thine enemies, and thou shalt have none to rescue them.

32 Thy sons and thy daughters shall be given unto another people, and thine eyes shall look, and fail with longing for them all the day long; and there shall be no might in thine hand.

33 The fruit of thy land, and all thy labours, shall a nation which thou knowest not eat up; and thou shalt be only oppressed and crushed alway:

34 So that thou shalt be mad for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

35 The Lord shall smite thee in the knees, and in the legs, with a sore botch that cannot be healed, from the sole of thy foot unto the top of thy head.

36 The Lord shall bring thee, and thy king which thou shalt set over thee, unto a nation which neither thou nor thy fathers have known; and there shalt thou serve other gods, wood and stone.

37 And thou shalt become an astonishment, a proverb, and a byword, among all nations whither the Lord shall lead thee.

38 Thou shalt carry much seed out into the field, and shalt gather but little in; for the locust shall consume it.

39 Thou shalt plant vineyards, and dress them, but shalt neither drink of the wine, nor gather the grapes; for the worms shall eat them.

40 Thou shalt have olive trees throughout all thy coasts, but thou shalt not anoint thyself with the oil; for thine olive shall cast his fruit.

41 Thou shalt beget sons and daughters, but thou shalt not enjoy them; for they shall go into captivity.

42 All thy trees and fruit of thy land shall the locust consume.

43 The stranger that is within thee shall get up above thee very high; and thou shalt come down very low.

44 He shall lend to thee, and thou shalt not lend to him: he shall be the head, and thou shalt be the tail.

45 Moreover all these curses shall come upon thee, and shall pursue thee, and overtake thee, till thou be destroyed; because thou hearkenedst not unto the voice of the Lord thy God, to keep his commandments and his statutes which he commanded thee:

46 And they shall be upon thee for a sign and for a wonder, and upon thy seed for ever.

47 Because thou servedst not the Lord thy God with joyfulness, and with gladness of heart, for the abundance of all things;

48 Therefore shalt thou serve thine enemies which the Lord shall send against thee, in hunger, and in thirst, and in nakedness, and in want of all things: and he shall put a yoke of iron upon thy neck, until he have destroyed thee.

49 The Lord shall bring a nation against thee from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flieth; a nation whose tongue thou shalt not understand;

50 A nation of fierce countenance, which shall not regard the person of the old, nor shew favour to the young:

51 And he shall eat the fruit of thy cattle, and the fruit of thy land, until thou be destroyed: which also shall not leave thee either corn, wine, or oil, or the increase of thy kine, or flocks of thy sheep, until he have destroyed thee.

52 And he shall besiege thee in all thy gates, until thy high and fenced walls come down, wherein thou trustedst, throughout all thy land: and he shall besiege thee in all thy gates throughout all thy land, which the Lord thy God hath given thee.

53 And thou shalt eat the fruit of thine own body, the flesh of thy sons and of thy daughters, which the Lord thy God hath given thee, in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee:

54 So that the man that is tender among you, and very delicate, his eye shall be evil toward his brother, and toward the wife of his bosom, and toward the remnant of his children which he shall leave:

55 So that he will not give to any of them of the flesh of his children whom he shall eat: because he hath nothing left him in the siege, and in the straitness, wherewith thine enemies shall distress thee in all thy gates.

56 The tender and delicate woman among you, which would not adventure to set the sole of her foot upon the ground for delicateness and tenderness, her eye shall be evil toward the husband of her bosom, and toward her son, and toward her daughter,

57 And toward her young one that cometh out from between her feet, and toward her children which she shall bear: for she shall eat them for want of all things secretly in the siege and straitness, wherewith thine enemy shall distress thee in thy gates.

58 If thou wilt not observe to do all the words of this law that are written in this book, that thou mayest fear this glorious and fearful name, The Lord Thy God;

59 Then the Lord will make thy plagues wonderful, and the plagues of thy seed, even great plagues, and of long continuance, and sore sicknesses, and of long continuance.

60 Moreover he will bring upon thee all the diseases of Egypt, which thou wast afraid of; and they shall cleave unto thee.

61 Also every sickness, and every plague, which is not written in the book of this law, them will the Lord bring upon thee, until thou be destroyed.

62 And ye shall be left few in number, whereas ye were as the stars of heaven for multitude; because thou wouldest not obey the voice of the Lord thy God.

63 And it shall come to pass, that as the Lord rejoiced over you to do you good, and to multiply you; so the Lord will rejoice over you to destroy you, and to bring you to nought; and ye shall be plucked from off the land whither thou goest to possess it.

64 And the Lord shall scatter thee among all people, from the one end of the earth even unto the other; and there thou shalt serve other gods, which neither thou nor thy fathers have known, even wood and stone.

65 And among these nations shalt thou find no ease, neither shall the sole of thy foot have rest: but the Lord shall give thee there a trembling heart, and failing of eyes, and sorrow of mind:

66 And thy life shall hang in doubt before thee; and thou shalt fear day and night, and shalt have none assurance of thy life:

67 In the morning thou shalt say, Would God it were even! and at even thou shalt say, Would God it were morning! for the fear of thine heart wherewith thou shalt fear, and for the sight of thine eyes which thou shalt see.

68 And the Lord shall bring thee into Egypt again with ships, by the way whereof I spake unto thee, Thou shalt see it no more again: and there ye shall be sold unto your enemies for bondmen and bondwomen, and no man shall buy you,” (Deut. 28: 15-68).

RELEASE THE BLESSINGS

"And he sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick,” (Lk. 9:2 )

“And heal the sick that are therein, and say unto them, the kingdom of God is come nigh unto you,” (Lk. 10:9).

Chapter Five

Obedience

RECEIVING JESUS

New Testament obedience is receiving Jesus!

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ:” (Eph. 1:3).

Benefits concerning people that have obeyed God by choosing Jesus Christ’s Blood Sacrifice

"Of how much sorer punishment, suppose  ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under-foot the Son of God, and hath  counted the blood of  the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?” (Hebr. 10:29).

Evil and misfortunes are enforced on everyone by the Satan.

God says: "Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you," (Jam. 4:7).

"Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all,”  (Psa. 34:19).

"He keepeth all his bones: not one  of them is broken,” (Psa. 34:20).

“God wrought special miracles by the hand of Paul," (Acts 19:11-12).

The Christian ministry should duplicate Jesus Christ's work!

PREACH THE GOSPEL TO THE POOR

“Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith, and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that  love him? " (Jam. 2:5).

To heal the brokenhearted!

"The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound," (Isa. 61:1).

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor, me to heal the  deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"(Lk. 4:18).

CAPTIVES

To preach deliverance to the captives!

"And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe  themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations," (Ezek. 6:9).

Deliverance produces two things:

- Deeper love for the Lord in every aspect of life.

- Love for your neighbor as yourself.

Evan H. Hopkins: Wesleyan Methodist, wrote, "While faith makes all things possible, it is love that makes all things easy,"

- Without agape love it is immaterial:

- How much faith you have.

- How many gifts you possess.

- What kind of miracle your may perform, (I Cor. 13).

"Wherefore he saith, When ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men,”  (Eph. 4:8).

Recovering of sight to the blind!

"Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable and poor, and blind, and naked,”  (Rev. 3:17).

To set at liberty them that are bruised!

"So speak ye, and so do, as they that shall be judged by the law of liberty," (Jam. 2:12).

The above is the work of the ministry.

Diseases mentioned in the Bible:

Barrenness, blindness, boils, leprosy, lameness, blemishes, flat nose, broken bones, crooked back, dwarfed, eczema, broken stones, scurvy, consumption, fever, inflammation burning acne, itch, madness, botch, emerods, sunstroke, dysentery, atrophy, sores, bruises, venereal disease, palsy, epilepsy, impediment of speech,  ulcers, infirmity, worms, impotency -39 of them. Jesus took 39 strips!(Isa 53:4, 5; Matt 8:16, 17; I Pet. 2:24).

Chapter Six

Sickness is of Satan

SOURCE OF ILLNESS

(Acts10:38)

Temporal and Spiritual blessings promised TO THOSE WHO BELIEVE.

"An ye shall serve the Lord your God, and he  shall bless thy bread, and thy  water; and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee," (Lev. 26, 4; Deut. 28:2).

"But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness;  and all these things shall be added unto you,” (Lk.18:30).

BREAKING CURSES

Jesus saw a fig tree in (Mk. 11) that was bare.

He said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again."

Then (Mk. 11: 20-21): "In the morning as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots."

"Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"

By speaking against the fig tree, Jesus had brought a curse upon it.

CURSES ARE VERY REAL

Many Christians are having serious problems today because of their lack of spiritual knowledge concerning curses and blessings.

- A curse has been defined as:

- Uttering a wish of evil against one: to cause evil:

- To call for mischief or injury to fall upon:

- To execrate.

- To bring evil upon.

- Blast, vex harrass or torment with great calamities.

In ministry when an impasse is reached, prayer, the Word, resistance, commanding, the blood, faith, and nothing happens:

Pray! Get into an attitude of seeking the Holy Spirit.

Pray!

He will reveal the problem through a Word of Knowledge.

- If it is a curse, break it in Jesus' name.

- The breakthrough will come!

- Prayer for breaking of curses:

Father, I have been obedient to Your Word. I have received Jesus Christ as  My Personal Savior. He has purchased me with His own blood. I am You  child. The transgressor, the Devil, is trying to enforce his curses upon me. Satan has no power over me because of Your precious Blood Covenant. I place all my sins under the Blood of Jesus Christ. Show me if I have any unconfessed sins. Pause.

Father I confess these sins to You and Ask You to forgive me. I not only confess my own sin, but I confess the sins of my ancestors. You know those sins that were committed by my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents - sins which introduced curses into my family line. I confess those sins to you that the power of the curse will be broken through the shed blood of the My Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Father, In the name of Jesus Christ, I now rebuke, break and loose  myself and my family from my own sins, the sins of my ancestors or from any other person. I am redeemed by the blood of Christ and redeemed from the curse of the law. I break the power of every  spoken  curse - of every evil that came out of my own  mouth.

Father I take back the ground that Satan has taken from myself and my family and establish myself and my family in the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I claim the blessings of Your Word rather than the curses. I break the power of every evil word that was knowingly or unknowingly spoken against me by another person. I cancel that spoken word and the power of that curse in the authority of Jesus' name.

Father I am a believer in Your power, redemptions. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is my Savior. He is my Deliverer Who came to set me free. I accept His power to deliver me and my family according to (Acts 2: 28-39) .

I confess You with my mouth and I confess that the power of every curse is now broken in the authority of your Holy Name.

Thank You Father, in Jesus' name.

I command ever evil spirit which is come in through the door of curse to leave me and my family NOW, in  the Name of Jesus.

You evil curse, your have no power and I rebuke you in the name of Jesus. I break the power of the strongman.

I command all curses TO GO AND NEVER RETURN!

Now just let them go. If any specific name or thing comes to your mind speak it out and rebuke it to leave you. It will in the name of Jesus.

Chapter Seven

The God Of Miracles

MIRACLES, WONDERS AND SIGNS

“The men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by MIRACLES and WONDERS and SIGNS, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also." (Acts 2 :22).

CHRISTIAN FAITH MIRACULOUS

People today want to see what they are getting. They want the facts before their eyes. We now have truth in lending facts, product content facts, nutrition facts, service estimate facts, consumer facts, and on and on.  In religion, too, people want to see the facts of faith. Either Christianity is miracle or it is nothing.

Jesus intended that the Christian faith be both miraculous and demonstrative. The things which Jesus did on earth, like the resurrection of Lazarus, healing the blind, restoring the maniac, could not have been done through human power, and required supernatural power. Moreover, he performed these miracles, not in secret, but before fault-finders, enemies, and friends alike. His works were such that those about could not deny the facts. And He freely welcomed examination of His miracles.

As the Holy Ghost, the Author of the Scriptures is He who alone can enlighten us rightly to understand them, we should constantly ask His teaching, and His guidance into all truth. When the prophet Daniel would interpret Nebuchadnezzar's dream, what did he do? He set himself to earnest prayer that God would open up the vision.

Moreover, he performed these miracles, not in secret, but before fault-finders, enemies, and friends alike. His works were such that those about could not deny the acts. And He freely welcomed examination of His miracles.

Peter recorded: "We have not followed cunningly devised fables, but were eyewitnesses of His majesty" and John said: "We have seen with our eyes...and our hands have handled, of the Word of Life." (II Pet. 1:6).

There were some who failed to see the mighty works of Jesus the disinterested and unbelieving: "He could not do many works there because of their unbelief." Multitudes were not healed, because they had not faith in Him as the Son of God. Jesus ministered by: "according to your faith be it unto you." Faith is the main ingredient in receiving the blessings and miracles of God.

Jesus sent out His followers with the same Divine miracle-working power that worked in Him. The authority of their Gospel was to be substantiated with "power to heal the sick and to cast out devils". The writer of Hebrews confirms that they did just that: "God also bearing them witness, both with signs and wonders and with diver’s miracles and gifts of the Holy Ghost, according to his own will." God's ministers enjoy the same privilege and power today. We can and will work the works of God if we will believe.

“The men of Israel, hear these words; Jesus of Nazareth, a man APPROVED of God among you by MIRACLES and WONDERS and SIGNS, which God did by Him in the midst of you, as ye yourselves also," (Acts 22:2).

Chapter Eight

Curses, And Blessings Healing

"Our prayers should be for a sound mind in a healthy body.   Juvenal: Satires, Satire, X

BLESSINGS AND CURSES

"The blessing of the Lord be upon you ..." (Psa. 129:8).

Sickness -- A blessing or a curse?

“God says I am the Lord that health thee,” (Exod. 15:26); that word of promise will endure forever!

Some Christians say, "Perhaps God has seen this disease on my body. Maybe it is God's will for me to be sick.  Possibly it is His blessing in disguise. It may be one of the mysterious ways in which He works out good things in my life. The Lord is trying to teach me something through this illness."

"For the Son of man is not come to destroy men's lives, but to save them." Satan is your adversary. Demons are your enemies, not God!” (Lk. 9:56),

They are jealous of your hesitance and will seek to impede your progress and cheat you out of your legacy.

I read a question asking why Atheists hate God when they don't believe in God. The most common answer was "I don't hate God, it's the followers I can't stand" and variations of that sentence.[3]

Demons have no legal right to continue to oppress and afflict those who are saved with disease and infirmities.

"He that committeth sin is of the devil; for the devil sinneth from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil," (I Jn. 3:8).

Demons take advantage of many Christians who do not know that Satan has made a complete surrender and has been defeated by Jesus' cross.

“(For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;)," (II Cor. 10:4).

Through biblical ignorance, when Christians do not know about Satan's legal defeat, he operates unhindered.

"For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places." (Eph. 6:12).

The Word of God declares Satan's absolute destruction. Christians must recognize their enemy's tactics of warfare and be skilled in ability and faith to drive him out.

"Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases.  Jesus conferred upon every believer the right to use His Name against devil,” (Lk. 9:1).

"And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;"

God designates sickness captivity, (Job 42:10; 2-7).

The Scripture show that the healing of Job as deliverance from captivity.

Jesus came to set the captives free! (Lk. 4:18),"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and  recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,"

“And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;”(Mk. 16:17).

SICKNESS IS BONDAGE

Jesus calls Sickness bondage!

“And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, to be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath day." (Lk. 13:16).

"And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity."  (Lk.13:12).

Satan had this woman bound by the power of placing an infirmity upon her body.

Bondage is never the will of God because he sent Jesus to set the captive free. "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed,” (Jn. 8:36).

VICTORY OVER SATAN

Believers are promised victory over Satan and every demon power. God does his part.

Jesus gives us the power to do our part. Believers are taught to engage aggressively in spiritual warfare (Eph. 6:10-18). We have been raised with Christ (Eph. 1:19-21), seated with Christ (Eph. 2:6), and empowered to reign for Christ on earth (Rom. 5:17), the spiritual armor (also known as the armour of light- (Rom. 13:12), is highly effective against every onslaught of the enemy, and victory is promised (Eph.  6:13),through the victory of Jesus, our victory is also assured.  The authority Adam and Eve forfeited in Eden was regained at Calvary when Jesus Christ became our ransom (Eph. 1:7; I Tim. 2:60). Satan has no legal claim over the believer living in discipleship, (Jam. 4:7),"Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you".

The doctrine of healing the Sick Old Testament

"For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, smith the Lord. (Jer. 30:17).

It is God's will for His people to be healed.

The doctrine of healing is shown in both Old and New Testaments. Israel had received forty years of miracle food, miracle water, a miracle cloud by day, miracle fire by night, miracle protection, miracle clothes that never wore out.

Moses told them: ". . .these forty years the Lord thy God hath been with thee; thou hast lacked nothing," (Deut. 2:7). And yet still they doubted Him. All but two of those who had witnessed these miracle died in the wilderness--in total unbelief. We are like Israel.

We want God to speak a word, grant us a miraculous deliverance, quickly meet our needs, remove all our pain and suffering. "But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise healing in his wings”. (Mal. 4:2).

"Old Lord, my God, I cried unto thee, and thou hast healed me," (Psa.30:2). “ Who forgiveth all thing iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases, " (Psa. 103:3).  "He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds," (Psa. 143).

“With his stripes are we healed” (Isa. 53:5).

Chapter Nine

Be in Health

ACCURSED

In the New Testament "accursed" is the King James rendering of "anathema", which, in addition to the meaning given above, came to connote moral worthlessness.

Accursed, (Anathema)

[a kurs'ed, a kurst'] This word, as used in the King James Version of the Bible, usually refers to something which belongs wholly to God and must not be touched or used by men. In the wars of Israel, the enemies of God were "accursed" in this sense; therefore, the Israelites utterly destroyed their opposition—men, women, children, and goods. (See Josh. 6 and 7; -II Sam. 15).  Most revised versions translate this word "devoted."

SALVATION AND DELIVERANCE ARE INTERCHANGEABLE.

"If thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shall be saved,” (Rom. 10: 9-10).

Meaning of Greek words -

Sozo to save, i.e., deliver or protect -heal, preserve, BE MADE WHOLE.

Soteria Rescue or safety health, salvation saving, delivery, save.

Sotare, a deliverer, i.e., God or Christ.

To be saved means to be set free body, soul, and spirit.

Salvation includes deliverance from evil spirits.

"For he hath made him to be sin for us who knew no sin that we might be made the righteousness of God in Him," (II Cor.  5:21).

Views on healing in the Atonement

"The atoning death of Jesus Christ secured for us not only physical healing but the resurrection and perfecting and glorifying of our bodies.

The Gospel of Christ has salvation for the body as well as for the soul.

Just as one gets the first-fruits of his spiritual salvation in the life that now is, so we get the first-fruits of our physical salvation in the life that now is.

Individual believers, whether elders or not, have the privilege and the duty to 'pray for one another' in case of sickness with the expectation that God will hear and heal."1

Dr. R. A. Torrey, Divine Healing

"It is my aim to show that the Atonement of Christ lays the foundation equally for deliverance from sin and for deliverance from disease.  That complete provision has been made for both; that in the exercise of faith under the conditions prescribed, we have the same reason to believe that the body may be delivered from sickness that we have that the soul shall be delivered from sin; in short, that both branches of the deliverance stand on the same ground, and that and that it is necessary to include both in any true conception of what the gospel offers to mankind.

The atoning sacrifice of Christ covers the physical as well as the spiritual needs of the race Healing of the body is not, therefore, a 'side-issue, ' they as some represent it. It is no more this than the healing of the soul is a 'side-issue.'  They are both but parts of the same Gospel, based equally upon the same great Atonement."2

Dr. R. E.Stanton, Former moderator of the General Assembly of the Presbyterian Church. Gospel Parallelisms. " The healing of the body is an essential element of the Gospel, and must be preached and practiced.

God wills our health, that the Church, the Body of Christ,' has the same commission and the same power as The Head,' that we churchmen, with this true conception of God as Creative Love, must now give a sinning and suffering world this full Gospel of salvation from sin and its inevitable consequences.."3

Report of the Commission on Spiritual Healing appointed by the Episcopal Church, Sponsored by Bishop Reese, who for many years has practiced the healing ministry, and who was Chairman of the Commission

"A living Church is one in which the Living Christ lives and walks, doing through its members what He did in the days of His flesh.

It must therefore, be a healing Church as well as a soul-saving Church... Spiritual healing is sacramental. It is the extension through the members of His mystical body of His own incarnate life," 12

James Moore Hickson the late able writers, Dr. A. B. Simpson, Andrew Murray, A.T. Pierson, Dr. A. J. Gordon and many present writers whom we might quote, have been teachers of healing in the Atonement. 13

An unknown writer has said, "On the cross of Calvary Jesus has nailed the proclamation, 'Deliver from going down to the pit (grave) for I have found an Atonement,'" (Job 33:24).5

Isaiah begins the Redemption Chapter with the question, "Who hath believed our report, and to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed,” (Isa. 5: 1)? And the report follows that He bore our sins and sicknesses.

The source of Jesus' healing power was His deep personal relationship with His Father.  Those who sought His ministry were healed, not because He applied right techniques, but because they came into real, personal Scripture.

SCRIPTURE

"His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accused of God); that thy land be not defiled, which the lord thy God giveth thee for an inheritance,” (Deut. 21).

“And the city shall be accursed, even it, and all that are therein, to the lord: only Rahab the harlot shall live, she and all that are with her in the house, because she hid the messengers that we sent? (Josh. 6:6).

Chapter Ten

Satan Will Enforce Curses

IGNORANCE OF THE WORD

Galatians 5 tells us:

Satan will enforce curses upon New Testament Saints because of their ignorance of the Word of God.

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge:  because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children," (Hos. 4:6).

Also their ignorance of the temporal blessings shown in the Word

"And all these blessings shall come on thee, and overtake thee, if thou shalt hearken unto the voice  of the LORD thy God,” (Deut. 28:2).

New Testament obedience is receiving Jesus!

"Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ,” (Eph. 1:3).

Benefits concerning people that have obeyed God by choosing Jesus Christ's  Blood Sacrifice.

"Of how much sorer punishment, suppose ye, shall he be thought worthy, who hath trodden under-foot the Son of God, and hath counted the blood of  the covenant, wherewith he was sanctified, an unholy thing, and hath done despite unto the Spirit of grace?”

Evil and misfortunes

Enforced on everyone by the Satan

"Submit yourselves therefore to God.  Resist the devil, and he will flee from you," (Jam. 4:7).

“Many are the afflictions of the righteous: but the LORD delivereth him out of them all,” (Psa. 34:19).

"He keepeth all his bones: not one of them is broken,” (Psa. 34:20).

"God wrought special miracles by the hand of Paul," (Act 19:11).

The Christian ministry should duplicate Jesus Christ's work!

Preach the gospel to the poor!

"Hearken, my beloved brethren, Hath not God chosen the poor of this world rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which he hath promised to them that love him," (Jam. 2:5)?

To heal the brokenhearted!

"The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound," (Isa. 61:1).

"The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor , me to heal the  deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised," (Lk. 4.:18).

To preach deliverance to the captives!

"And they that escape of you shall remember me among the nations whither they shall be carried captives, because I am broken with their whorish heart, which hath departed from me, and with their eyes, which go a whoring after their idols: and they shall loathe themselves for the evils which they have committed in all their abominations,"(Ezek. 6:9).

Deliverance produces two things

"Because thou sayest, I am rich, and increased with goods, and have need of nothing; and knowest not that thou art wretched, and miserable and poor, and blind, and naked,” (Rev. 3:17).

- To set at liberty them that are bruised!

- The above is the work of the ministry.

Chapter Eleven

Breaking Curses

DISCONTINUING CURSES

The blessing of God rests upon his people, (Deut. 23: 5; II Sam. 7:29; Psa. 3:8; 24-5; 133: 3; Psa. 10:22).

Pronounced upon persons by the Lord

(Gen. 27:27; 28:1; 48:16; Jos. 14:13; 22:6; I Sam. 2:20; 2 Sam. 13:25; I Kin. 8:14; Lk. 2:34).

Pronounced upon Person by men.

(Gen. 27: 27; 28:1; 48:16; Jos. 14:13; 22:6; I Sam. 2:20; 2 Sam. 13: 25; 1 King 8:14; Lk.. 2:34).

Jesus saw a fig tree in (Mk .11), that was bare

He said to the tree, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again."

Then (Mk. 11: 20-21), "In the morning as they went along, they saw the fig tree withered from the roots."

"Peter remembered and said to Jesus, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree you cursed has withered!"

By speaking against the fig tree, Jesus had brought a curse upon it.

CYRSES ARE VERT REAL

Many Christians are having serious problems today because of their lack of spiritual knowledge concerning curses and blessings.

- A curse has been defined as:

- Uttering a wish of evil against one: to cause evil:

- To call for mischief or injury to fall upon:

- To execrate.

- To bring evil upon.

- Blast, vex harass or torment with great calamities.

- In ministry when an impasse is reached, prayer, the Word, resistance, commanding, the blood, faith, and nothing happens:

- Pray! Get into an attitude of seeking the Holy Spirit.

Pray!

- He will reveal the problem through a Word of Knowledge.

- If it is a curse, break it in Jesus' name.

- The breakthrough will come!

- Prayer for breaking of curses:

Father, I have been obedient to Your Word. I have received Jesus Christ as My Personal Savior. He has purchased me with His own blood. I am Your child. The transgressor, the Devil, is trying to enforce his curses upon me. Satan has no power over me because of Your precious Blood Covenant. I place all my sins under the Blood of Jesus Christ. Show me if I have any unconfessed sins. Pause. . .

Father I confess these sins to You and Ask You to forgive me. I not only confess my own sin, but I confess the sins of my ancestors. You know those sins that were committed by my parents, grandparents and great-grandparents - sins which introduced curses into my family line,

I confess those sins to you that the power of the curse will be broken through the shed blood of the My Lord Jesus Christ.

Dear Father, In the name of Jesus Christ, I now rebuke, break and loose myself and my family from my own sins, the sins of my ancestors or from any other person. I am redeemed by the blood of Christ and redeemed from the curse of the law. I break the power of every spoken  curse - of every evil that came out of my own  mouth.

Father I take back the ground that Satan has taken from me and my family and establish myself and my family in the faith in the Lord Jesus Christ. I claim the blessings of Your Word rather than the curses. I break the power of every evil word that was knowingly or unknowingly spoken against me by another person. I cancel that spoken word and the power of that curse in the authority of Jesus' name.

Father I am a believer in Your power, redemptions. I believe in my heart that Jesus Christ is my Savior. He is my Deliverer Who came to set me free. I accept His power to deliver me and my family according to (Acts 2: 28-39). I confess You with my mouth and I confess that the power of every curse is now broken in the authority of your Holy Name.

Thank You Father, in Jesus' name.

I command ever evil spirit which is come in through the door of curse to leave me and my family NOW, in the Name of Jesus.

You evil curse, your have no power and I rebuke you in the name of Jesus.

I command all curses TO GO AND NEVER RETURN!

Now just let them go. If any specific name or thing comes to your mind speak it out and rebuke it to leave you. It will in the name of Jesus.

Chapter Twelve

Healing and Deliverance

JESUS IS THE HEALER AND DELIVERER

There are three passages in Mark which provide general summaries of Jesus' ministry of deliverance.

(Mk. 1: 32-34) summarizes the healing and Deliverance side by side.

“They brought to him all the sick and the demon possessed. And he healed many who were sick with various diseases and drove out many demons and he did not permit the demons to speak, for they knew him,”

Sickness and demon possession are here closely associated, yet kept distinct.

- The same is true of (Mk.3: 10-12).

- Jesus calls sickness BONDAGE!

- "Ought not this woman' whom Satan Hath bound . . . be loosed from this BOND?  (Lk. 13:16).

- "Woman thou art loosed from thine infirmity,” (Lk. 13:12: 12).

- He said that SATAN had BOUND her.

God does not bind people.

- He frees them.

Jesus never said that this condition existed in this woman to keep her humble, or that it was a mysterious way God had of working out His will in her life.

JESUS SAID SATAN HAD BOUND HER.

Such bondage could never be the will of God for man now, because it is recorded that Jesus' ministry was designed to "set at LIBERTY THEM THAT ARE BRUISED," (Lk. 4:18).              Also it is prophesied of His great ministry that it would "loose the bands . . . undo heavy burdens . . . and . . . break every yoke.” (Isa. 58:6) So we see that Jesus called sickness BONDAGE. And every BOUND PERSON is commanded to be loosed to be set free.

Jesus came as "...  the way the TRUTH AND THE  LIFE,' and he said, Ye shall know the TRUTH, AND  THE TRUTH SHALL  MAKE YOU FREE,"  (Jn. 8:32).

Chapter Thirteen

SCRIPTURES

"Hast thou utterly rejected Judah? hath thy soul lathed Zion? Why hast thou smitten us, and there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, and there is no good; and for the time of healing, and behold trouble!” (Jer. 14:19).

“There is none to plead thy cause, that thou gayest be bound up: thou hast no healing medicines. 14 All thy lovers have forgotten thee; they seek thee not; for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with the chastisement of a cruel one, for the multitude of thine iniquity; because thy sins were increased. 15 Why cried thou for thine affliction? thy sorrow is incurable for the multitude of thine iniquity: because thy sins were increased, I have done these things unto thee. 16 Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured; and all thine adversaries, every one of them, shall go into captivity; and they that spoil thee shall be a spoil, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey. 17 For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD; because they called thee an Outcast, saying, This is Zion, whom no man sukkoth after,” (Jer. 30:13-17).

“There is no healing of thy bruise; thy wound is grievous: all that hear the bruit of thee shall clap the hands over thee: for upon whom hath not thy wickedness passed continually?” (Hab. 1:1).

“But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall,” (Mal 4:2).“And Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness and all manner of disease among the people. 24 And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatick, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them,” (Matt 9:35).

“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people,” (Matt 4:23-24).

“And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing everywhere…” (Lk. 9:6).

“And the people, when they knew it, followed him: and he received them, and spake unto them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing,” (Lk. 9:11).

“For the man was above forty years old, on whom this miracle of healing was shewed,” (Acts 4:22).

“How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him,” (Acts 10:38).

“To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit…” (I Cor. 12:9).

“Have all the gifts of healing? do all speak with tongues? do all interpret,” (1 Cor. 12:3031)?.

“But covet earnestly the best gifts: and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way, 2 In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations. 3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him,” (Rev 22:2-3).
