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!

Apostates Predicted

Sensual persons who cause divisions   I quote from the Book of Jude, a bondservant of Jesus Christ, and brother of James, who was addressing those who were called , sanctified by God the Father, and preserved in Jesus Christ. In verses 16 through 19, Jude warned of apostates who would come around and make themselves known. He described them as grumblers, complainers, walking according to their own lusts , to use Jude’s own words. He went on to describe them as those who would be mouthing swelling words, flattering to gain advantage . Jude continued saying, “But you beloved, remember the words which were spoken before the apostles of our Lord Jesus Christ: how they told you there would be mockers in the last time who would walk according to their own ungodly lusts. Fast-forward now to today; to our present time, the year 2012. How is this book (Jude) of very few words; the little book which precedes the last book of the Bible; Revelation relevant to our (contemporary...

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...

Two Kinds of Wisdom

That which is earthly, and that which is heavenly The Bible speaks of us being exposed to two kinds of wisdom; one that subjects us to bitterness, envy and selfish ambition, e.g. earthly wisdom , and that which comes from heaven which is first of all pure; peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. In (James 3:13) this servant of God, asked , “Who is wise and understanding among you? Let him show it by his good life, by deeds done in the humility that comes from wisdom.” Which form of wisdom will you profess; that which is earthly, unspiritual, of the devil or that which is of heaven? At the time of Jesus’ birth, three wise men from the east came to Jerusalem seeking the one who was now born King of the Jews . King Herod called upon these three to “Go and make a careful search for the child. As soon as you find him, report to me, so that I too may go and worship him.” he said in; (Matthew 2:8) -- the three wise men were told by He...
