LISTEN VERY CLOSELY:
God gave Himself to this world as you. He did not breathe your life into you, He breathed into you His life. It is His breath you are breathing, It is His life as your life that you are living, it is His mind you are functioning with. Your body is the temple of the living God, so even the earth suit you walk around in is not yours. It is His. The more you surrender yourself that God may function as your mind, your soul, your life, your breath, your being, your body, the more Divine Grace will be expressed as you.

TWO APPROACHES TO SPIRITUAL HEALING WHICH SEEK TO TRANSFORM NATURE AT THE QUANTUM LEVEL

(1) An occult-like power to create one’s own reality through conscious intention coupled with positive affirmations
(2) An ongoing intimacy with one’s Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.
The masses are titillated by spiritual formulas. They, like Simon the magician (see the book of Acts), would pay dearly for the ‘power’ to exact ‘signs’ and ‘wonders’ through a pseudo-scientific ‘technique’ rather than take the time and effort to cultivate a righteous relationship with their Creator.

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!]

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!

ARE YOU UPSET
About anything –
Anything at all?
Let’s get you un-upset
Would that be alright?
Okay, now don’t tell me
About what’s eating you.
That’s your big distraction.
Make an about-face
Turn 180° away
From the issue(s)
And look directly into the face
Of Jesus.
See Him smiling, beckoning
You to come to Him.
Without losing your focus, think
Isn’t He infinitely more important?
Don’t … don’t … don’t go back
You don’t need to tell Him anything.
How could He possibly not know
All that is real?
Now listen to Him.
No, use your Spiritual ears
And hear Him tell you
What’s really true
Right in the place of
All your questions.

Some people may pretend that evil spirits don’t exist while others may, like Jesus, see beyond their seeming power and apply spiritual truth to eradicate them.

In like manner, some people may pretend that sickness, pain, fear, poverty, etc. don’t exist while others may, like Jesus, deny their power and authority, thereby healing them.

Why hold on to anything that is ungodlike?

What’s to stop us from staying in the Spirit?

…….

What’s wrong with

A big, horrific problem

That causes so much

Suffering and grief

Being completely

And permanently

Healed?

…….

You don’t have to pretend that evil has no power over you. It doesn’t.

…….

Talk to God

And He’ll talk to you

Then listen

And listen

And listen.

Want to know how long?

Until there’s no longer

Two of you –

God and you –

But just One.

Water, water everywhere, but nary a drop to drink!

THERE IS A NECESSARY ELAPSE OF TIME – EVEN IF ONLY A MOMENT OR TWO – BETWEEN WHEN YOU PRAY AND WHEN YOU RECEIVE YOUR HEALING . THIS IS THE TIME YOU MUST BE MOST GUARDED IN YOUR BELIEVING . IF YOU ENTER INTO UNBELIEF , YOU WILL NULLIFY YOUR HEALING — OR , AT LEAST THAT IS WHAT YOU WILL FEEL .
Mark 11:24 KJV
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray , BELIEVE that ye receive them , and ye shall have them .
..
BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVED
WHEN YOU PRAYED
AND SIT BACK
& TRUST.
..
YOUR UNBELIEF ALONE WILL BLOCK YOU FROM RECEIVING YOUR FULL HEALING . THERE’S A PROCESS GOING ON IN THE SPIRITUAL REALM . AFTER YOU HAVE SPOKEN TO YOUR MOUNTAIN – AND REBUKED IT (in the name of Jesus!) – THANK GOD THAT YOU ALREADY HAVE YOUR COMPLETE HEALING HERE AND NOW !! . Congratulations!!!!!
..
WHEN MOST PEOPLE DON’T IMMEDIATELY GET THEIR PRAYER ANSWERED , THEY RESORT TO DILUTING THE SCRIPTURES !! . THEY IMAGINE THAT GOD SAID NO !! . RELIGION DOES A TERRIBLE DISSERVICE TO ITS FOLLOWERS , TEACHING THAT SOMETIMES GOD PUTS SICKNESS ON ITS ADHERENTS . NO ! . NO ! . NO ! . NEVER !!!!!
..
THE PROCESS IS GOING ON IN THE SPIRIT REALM .
John 4:24 KJV
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
..
ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL ALL
2 Corinthians 1:20 KJV
For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.
..
EVERY – EVERY – EVERY – EVERY
Matthew 7:8 KJV
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.
DO YOU KNOW HOW TO RECEIVE ?
..
PRAYER IS A PROCESS . DO NOT , DO NOT , DO NOT GET INTO UNBELIEF . Matthew 7:7 KJV
Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
ASK & UNDERSTAND THE PROCESS !!
..
WHEN YOU PRAY , BELIEVE. (BELIEVE NOW ; DON’T WAIT ‘TIL YOU SEE PROOF) !!
Mark 11:24 KJV
Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them , and ye shall have them .
..
GOD SAID “COMMAND YE ME” . . .
Isaiah 45:11 KJV
Thus saith the Lord , the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command ye me.
..
PETER SAID “SUCH AS I HAVE” . . .
Acts 3:6 KJV
Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
..
WE HAVE RAISING-FROM-THE-DEAD POWER ON THE INSIDE OF OURSELVES .
Ephesians 1:19-20 KJV
And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power, [20] Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places ,
..
GOD HAS GIVEN YOU HIS POWER AND AUTHORITY.
James 4:7 KJV
Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.
..
DON’T TALK TO GOD ABOUT YOUR PROBLEM.
Mark 11:23 KJV
For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.
..
On a very personal level, isn’t EFFECTIVE PRAYER of utmost importance? When we ponder the fact that God’s work IS done, we can dispense with the technique of begging and pleading with Him to take pity on us and make our case a priority. Everything we could possibly want or need has its full reward in God, but how exactly do we access it? Through prayer, of course. But let’s do it God’s way this time: let’s speak God’s language and tune in to His temperament. Did you know that God wants an intimate relationship with you even more than you want it with Him?

WHEN I WAS A SMALL CHILD IN SUNDAY SCHOOL, THE TEACHER SAID THAT WE MUST MAGNIFY GOD. “IS GOD SO SMALL?” I WONDERED IN MY UNDEVELOPED MIND AS I IMAGINED HOLDING UP A MAGNIFYING GLASS . . . !
Psalm 69:30 KJV
I will praise the name of God with a song, and will MAGNIFY him with thanksgiving.

LITTLE DID I KNOW THAT IT WAS IN MY OWN MIND THAT I WAS RELEGATING GOD TO A LOW POSITION COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER CONCERNS I WAS HARBORING.
Romans 1:21 KJV
Because that, when they knew God, they glorified ( MAGNIFIED ) him NOT as God, neither were thankful; but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened.

OUT OF THE DARKNESS GOD SPOKE TO THE CHILD [ME] AND SAID THAT I NEEDED TO BE MORE THANKFUL FOR OUR SPECIAL RELATIONSHIP…
Acts 10:46 KJV
For they heard them speak with tongues, and MAGNIFY God…

I HAD NO IDEA THAT SOMEDAY I, LIKE BELOVED PAUL, WOULD LONG TO JOIN JESUS, BUT WOULD CHOOSE TO STAY BECAUSE THERE WAS A LITTLE MORE WORK FOR ME HERE.
Philippians 1:22-24 KJV
But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. [23] For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: [24] Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you.

EVEN AS A CHILD – I LEARNED TO MAGNIFY GOD AT MIDNIGHT WHEN LIFE SEEMED SO DARK.
Acts 16:25 KJV
And at midnight Paul and Silas prayed, and sang praises unto God: and the prisoners heard them.
Romans 8:18 KJV
For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.
AND THERE WAS MY (the child’s) REAL REWARD !!

But thou art holy, O thou that inhabitest the praises ( MAGNIFY ) of Israel.
Psalm 22:3 KJV
AS I GOT MORE AND MORE GLIMPSES OF THE POWER OF MAGNIFYING GOD THROUGH HEARTFELT THANKFULNESS, I BEGAN TO REALIZE PEOPLE BECAME DRAWN TO ME – FIRST AS A CHILD AND AGAIN AS A MORE SEASONED WOMAN OF GOD. I USED TO WONDER WHY TOTAL STRANGERS WERE SMILING AT ME BUT THEN I CAUGHT A GLIMPSE OF MYSELF IN A WINDOW, BEAMING WITH INESTIMABLE JOY !!
Revelation 4:11 KJV
Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory ( MAGNIFY ) and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created.

Can you imagine your own mind . . . completely free, completely healed? No more hateful thoughts! At all! No more battles in your mind – just pure love! CAN YOU IMAGINE?
I don’t ever want to get preachy – like I know it all – coz I don’t! But I can say this without reservation:

▪ Go deeper
▪ Stay longer
▪ Think ONLY of Jesus
▪ Let Him talk to you
…. Help yourself to hear Him by starting the sentence (from God): “Now (your name), what I’ve been wanting to tell you is _______________ .”
▪ Ignore ALL dastardly distractions
▪ Listen to God more
▪ And more
▪ Help yourself to hear Him more clearly
▪ And
▪ more!

ARE YOU IN TROUBLE ? . IS THERE SOMETHING YOU NEED ? . ARE YOU – NOT – OKAY ?
BUT YOU DON’T WANT ANY OF THIS JESUS STUFF, RIGHT ? . WELL, NOBODY’S GONNA KNOW NOTHIN’ IF YOU DO A LITTLE EXPERIMENT, OKAY ? . . JUST TAKE YOUR NEED TO HIM IN A HUMBLE, HEARTFELT PRAYER AND LEAVE IT THERE. . THEN – ASK – IF HE REALLY IS ALIVE AND AWARE AND INTERESTED . . FORGET ABOUT THE NEED AND FOCUS ON THE POSSIBILITIES . . THEY WILL BLOW YOU AWAY !!
