Faith Works!

A woman with faith is healed

During a Wednesday night Bible service several weeks ago, a certain woman who comes to church regularly had a serious cough.  She coughed so frequently she would have to get up and go outside several times during the service to keep from disturbing everyone including our pastor. It was obvious her cough was a not getting better because she had been coughing like this for several weeks. I felt sorry for her but like everyone else I just tried with compassion to ignore the distraction her coughing was creating.

A couple of Sunday’s ago, during our morning service this same woman was again experiencing her usual coughing problem when I heard God speak to me in my spirit concerning her sickness. God said to me, “Read to her from my Word (Ezekiel 37:5).” And He gave me three reasons for her cough; filter, open toxic container and pet. God was giving her a prescription to heal her. I wrote what He gave me on a small piece of paper and after the service I gave it to her with the explanation of what God had told me concerning her illness during the service. I asked if she had faith in what God was doing for her healing her cough and she emphatically said, “Yes!” I then asked her to consider God’s suggestions, read His Scripture, and take whatever steps she could to satisfy His recommendations. I told her I believed God was going to heal her cough, she said she did too!

Last Sunday, the lady was in church as usual, but this Sunday was different. She was not coughing! Not once during our service did she cough. In fact, I hadn’t even noticed her at all as she sits somewhere back behind my wife and me. After the service though she came up to me, tugging on my arm and she declared, “He healed me! God healed my cough! I did all that you said He told you, and I read His Scripture in Ezekiel and I am healed!” I celebrated with her telling her I was so happy for her and yes, it was confirmed in my spirit she was healed! We then both praised God, and thanked Him for His wonderful healing. This woman, like the woman in the Bible had great faith and God healed her. This woman is truly a testimony that faith works. I believe, and convinced faith will heal you too.

Works are good, but without His Word nothing can be done!

Walk Of Faith

I wonder, do you think we miss God’s purpose for our lives because we are waiting to learn more of what God has planned for us? Truth is; God isn’t required to lay it all out for us. All He must do if He has a plan for our lives is to show us how and then enable us to do it. It seems when we don’t know all the particulars, life is too perplexing. We think, “ but I need to know just what God wants me to do.” Abram (later known as Abraham) probably had thoughts just like this. God asked Abram to go somewhere he wasn’t familiar with and he most likely thought of asking God, Lord, must I go somewhere I don’t know, can’t I just stay here in Haran? However, God’s plan for Abram was far greater than anything Abram could ever imagine. Our personal feelings, vision, and human reasoning will always get in the way of our walk of faith . God teaches us to have faith in Him by placing us in positions where our feelings, vision, and common knowledge don’t work for us. Haven’t you ex...

Get Out Of Your Boat

In (Matthew 14:25) Jesus had told the disciples to get into the boat and go on ahead of Him to the other side of the lake. The Bible says; He went up on a mountainside by Himself to pray. The wind was strong that night and the waves buffeted the small boat, tossing it to and fro. It would have been a frightening time to be out on the water; especially that late at night. The men in the boat trembled with fear, and when they saw Jesus walking out to them on the water they thought He was a ghost. Jesus assured them it was He and they should not be afraid. Peter, one of the disciples, said, “Lord, if it’s You, tell me to come to You on the water!” Jesus told him, “Come.” Peter stepped out of the boat, walked toward Jesus, but when he saw the wind; the Bible says, he was afraid, and beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Peter’s faith was strong, at first. He was walking on the top of the waves just as Jesus was, but the moment he allowed himself to think rationally instead of t...

Over the past few years I have been inspired by the Holy Spirit to write what He has given me; many times I was awakened in the middle of the night to write them down. I hope you will take look at these brief messages which can be found in the "sidebar" of this blog under the heading of "BLOG ARCHIVE." There may be something in these that personally speaks to you. I pray there is. Thanks for reading my blog and may God richly bless you.
