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!

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...

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.

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...
