Did you ever go into a shoe store and say “I want those shoes, but I don’t want the tongues? Lol !! Praying in tongues is the most wonderful gift of the Holy Spirit.

So funny how some Christians fight so hard for the right to STAY sick by saying that it’s NOT God’s will to heal everyone… then they get mad at those who preach Healing as part of the Gospel…
If you read the four Gospels, you’ll see that the ONE thing that Jesus put more emphasis on than anything else by what He said, and by what He did was divine HEALING through Faith!
Jesus cares about where you’re going to live for eternity; but He also cares about how your living RIGHT NOW…. Selah.

One thing that I can’t get out of my mind is – and I am NOT a proponent of human psychology – What does clinging to this disease BUY you? What hidden psychological need does it fill? . Understand, whoever you are, even though I don’t know who you are, I love you, and I want to challenge you with this haunting question: “If you give up this dis-ease, what will it cost you?” You’ll be exposed – mostly to yourself, and you might be uncomfortable with the whole naked truth. You’ll be compelled to answer some rather disquieting questions such as “What now?”
[P.S. I have no particular person in mind except the Robin of yesteryear!]

It was the old covenant that veiled Jesus. It veiled Him when He was born, it veiled Him when He died, and it veiled Him when He was resurrected. It wasn’t until Revelation, an unveiling, that the veil was taken away. What Revelation prophesied became reality when the temple and old covenant were finally destroyed. The veil of judgment and death, through which people had seen God since the days of the vassal covenant, was finally removed. The old covenant had prevented people from seeing who God really is; all they had seen was judgment and condemnation. But on the other side of AD 70, that veil has been taken away, and we are now free to see God as the loving father He is. The first century believers would have clearly understood that this is what Revelation is about—prophesying the destruction of the old covenant, which had been veiling God, and thereby revealing fully the glory of Christ and His new covenant.

2 Corinthians 3:14-16 KJV
But their minds were blinded: for until this day remaineth the same vail untaken away in the reading of the old testament; which vail is done away in Christ. [15] But even unto this day, when Moses is read, the vail is upon their heart. [16] Nevertheless when it shall turn to the Lord, the vail shall be taken away.
Is there something in your life that is in need of healing – physical, emotional, financial or spiritual? If you said spiritual, you’re already halfway there because all of our woes can be boiled down to a lack in spiritual apprehension. Some people have a great deal of head knowledge on the subject of spiritual healing but just don’t seem to know how to appropriate it while others sense that healing is possible but could use a little more preparation. One thing I do know is that anyone who is willing to trust God with their problem can effect a healing – on their own!
The operative question is “How do I get my thinking to line up with the Holy Spirit so that I can remove my own doubt, fear and unbelief? What do I need to know in order to be on the side of healing?” If you’re asking these questions, you’re really on the right track! Healings take place in the spiritual realm before they’re manifested in the realm of the flesh. That makes sense, right? “I’ve had this problem for a very long time…” you may argue. But did you ever actually do your part to heal it? Did you – in deepest humility – petition Jesus to step in, on your behalf? God wants you well, happy, companioned, loved, prosperous and free! He told me so! Are you ready to get really serious? Then let’s see what the Word of God has to say to you personally.
Tim Heart has brought out an all-important caveat to our forgetting that in reality we don’t actually -D-O- anything:
If you can put this on the level of salvation; did you appropriate salvation or was it something Jesus did for us with no help from us at all? 1 Peter 1:3 says it was God that (caused) us to be born again and that was without us appropriating it! The Greek word Sozo means healed and so born again means we were healed! I believe we were healed body, soul and spirit at that time. From my observation the biggest hindrence to body healing is the concept of trying to receive or appropriate what God already caused to happen! Sozo was accomplished with the faith of Jesus. Eph.2:8. So Sozo was finished before time began. 2Tim.1:9 Not disagreeing but just adding to the thinking about the timing so our thinking can hopefully line up more easily with Jesus work and not constantly trying to add our work! People are in limbo because they think they can’t get the reveiving and appropriating thing down, so they think they are the problem and don’t have the faith or enough faith! If you think I am confusing the issue, sorry, just remove what I said! Bottom line_____It is Finished!

If you’re wanting to do the thing
That’s most nearly right
And your habit is to start out
With God front and center
The decision you need,
Miraculously made
Feels a wee bit scary,
All that remains is to push forward
Right now, and trust.
I think there are a lot of us out here: rescuers, wanting to love and bless people right into the kingdom! But we’ve got to heed Chuck Crisco’s wisdom and honor the God-given vehicle that will bring him all the way in. Lots of love, lots of prayer and lots of letting go on both our parts will bring the trust that is required:
“Love doesn’t mean we are required to fix others. Being a “rescuer” often short circuits the learning that other person cannot get any other way or bypasses an insight of wisdom that can only come when they get it from God.
“Lift others burdens that are in excess, but don’t feel obligated to save the world. There is already a Savior of the world and its not you.”
Have you been playing the role of judge, jury and executioner lately? If so, do you have any plan of discontinuing any time soon? Are you really sure you’ve understood the intent and purpose of your target? And where does God’s agape love fit into the picture?
May I say a few words of encouragement to the Gay community?
Please trust me when I say that I hate religion but I love God.
Please trust me when I say that this is not about preaching (as if I had some special connection that you don’t have).
The exact opposite is what I’m trying to convey.
You have every right to an intimate relation with God that any so-called straight person has.
God – that Being that we all call out to when we’ve got our back to the wall – He created you and He loves you.
Not everyone knows this. Some people think that they’re out of the loop because religion has brainwashed them into thinking so.
I am not here to moralize to you: I honestly don’t believe that the way to connect with Him who loves us more than anything else has a list of rules or morals that need to be met.
God is very, very accessible to you.
Let’s give Him a try right now, okay?
So, what do we need to do? Read? Pray? Think? Visit?
Nothing. Nothing. Nothing. Nothing.
It’s all about simply becoming aware.
Just for the sake of clarity, remember that God loves you soooo much that He sent His only Son, Jesus, to reach out to us. I only brought that up because I’m not talking about many gods, but the one God who created the universe … and … us!
So, how do we become aware?
Right here, right now, let’s connect … I mean, let’s become fully aware of God’s (Jesus’) presence.
Let everything else go right now. Be aware that the Creator of the universe is right here.
“Right where?” you ask. Sweetheart, He is within you.
Do you feel Him there? A little?
You’ll feel Him more and more with practice.
Are your eyes a little moist? Well, so are His.
That’s how much He loves you.
Inaccurate Eschatology causes believers to:
Wait for a King, who already reigns,
Wait for a kingdom, they’re already in,
Wait to become, what they already are,
Wait for power, that they already have,
Wait for an Age, that they’re already in,
Wait for victory, that has already been won,
Wait to do, what they should already be doing.
