[ Where
you is mentioned or
names of people, such as Daniel, you
can substitute own name or name of ill person.
Scripture will
come alive for you as you
dare to
claim out loud the
Word
of God.
Do not trust what the doctors say, nor what you feel, nor what you
see.
Trust only the Word of God You have nothing to lose except your
loved one. Fight for the one you love.
Fight for yourself.
Appropriate for yourself what Jesus Christ has already procured for you 2,000
years ago.]
The New Testament is based on eye
witness accounts, which have much historical evidence for what Jesus did & what
Jesus said.
Later publications such as the Gnostic scriptures were not
eye witness accounts & were often subjective accounts, not inspired by the Holy
Spirit, but rather attempts to reconcile the religions/beliefs of the day to the
newfound Christianity, an outgrowth of Judaism.
Jesus Himself was a
Jew, what we would call a Messianic Jew. Jesus is the Messiah cited in the
Old Testament.
The New Testament (bride) is the completion (marriage) of
the Old Testament (groom); the old covenant & the new covenant become one, in the spiritual sense.

English Bible According
to the Masoretic Texts (Hebrew)
Matthew 4:23-24
- 23Jesus went throughout Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the
good news of the kingdom &
healing
EVERY
(evil) disease & sickness
among the people.
24News about Him spread all over Syria & people brought
to Him all who were will with various diseases (evils/kakos), those suffering
severe pain, the demon-possessed, those having seizures (epileptics/being
moonstruck) & the paralyzed (paralytics) & He
healed
them.
Matthew 5:4 - "Blessed are those who
mourn, for they will be comforted."
(Jesus' beatitude)
Matthew 5:22-24 "I (Jesus)
tell you that anyone who is
angry with his brother will be subject to judgment. Again, anyone who says
to his brother, Raca (damn you), is answerable to the Sanhedrin (church).
But anyone who says, 'You fool.' will be in danger of the fire of hell.
Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the alter & there remember that
your brother has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the
altar.
1st go & be reconciled to your brother; then come & offer
your gift."
(Spiritual insight:
forgiveness heals both the soul & disease, per Henry
Wright www.pleasantvalleychurch.net )

Seek 1st the kingdom of God & His righteousness
(a personal "relationship" with God)

shall be
added to you.

deliverance prayer...it is within our authority, when that authority is
exercised in the name of Jesus (Mark 16:17)." says Hampsch in
Healing Your
Family Tree.]

Matthew 8:2-3 NIV
- A man with leprosy came and knelt before Him & said, "Lord,
if You are willing, You can make me clean." Jesus reached out His
hand & touched
the man.

said. "Be clean." Immediately he was
cured of his leprosy.
Matthew 8:6-13 NIV
- "Lord," he said, "My servant lies at home paralyzed & in terrible suffering."
Jesus said to him, "I will go and
heal him."
The centurion replied, "Lord, I do not deserve to have you come
under my roof.
But just say the word,
& my servant
will be
healed.
For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me.
I tell this
one, 'Go.' & he goes; & that one, 'come,' & he comes. I say to my servant,
'do this,' & he does it."
When Jesus heard this, He was
astonished & said to those following Him, "I tell you the truth, I have not
found anyone in Israel with such great faith. I say to you that many will
come from the East & the West & will take their places at the feast with Abraham, Isaac and
Jacob in the kingdom of heaven. But the subjects (sons RSV/children
KJV/descendants who trust in the blood line of Abraham rather than in the God of
Abraham) of the kingdom will be thrown outside, into the darkness, where there
will be weeping & gnashing of teeth."
Then Jesus said to the centurion, "Go.
It
will be done just as you believed it would."
His servant was
healed at that very hour.
Matthew 8:14-15 - When Jesus came into Peter's house,
He saw Peter's mother-in-law lying in bed with a fever. He
touched her hand & the fever left her, & she got up & began to wait on Him.
Matthew 8:16-17 -
When evening came, any who were demon-possessed were brought to Him.
He drove out the spirits with a word &
healed ALL the sick.
This was to fulfill what was
spoken through the
prophet Isaiah:
"He took up our infirmities & carried our
diseases."
Matthew 8:28-32 (also Mark 5) - When He arrived at the
other side of the region of the Gadarenes, 2 demon-possessed men coming from the
tombs met Him. They were so violent that none could pass that way.
"What do You want with us, Son of God:" they (the demons) shouted.
"Have
You come here to torture us before the appointed time?"
Some distance from
them a large herd of pigs was feeding.
The demons begged Jesus, "If You
drive us out, send us into the herd of pigs."
He
said to them, "Go!"
so they came out & went into the pigs...
Matthew 9:2,6-7 -
Men brought to Him a paralytic, lying on a mat.
When Jesus saw their
faith, He said to the paralytic, "Take
heart, son; your sins are forgiven...know that the Son of Man has authority on
earth to forgive sins...Get up, take your mat & go home"...The
man got up & went home.
Matthew 9:4-6 -
Knowing their
thoughts, Jesus (God) said, "Why do you entertain evil thoughts
(from your enemy
the devil) in your hearts?
Which is easier to
say, 'Your
sins are forgiven,' or to say, 'Get up & walk'?
But so that you may know that the
Son of Man (Jesus, also son of God)
has authority on earth to forgive sins."
Then He
said
to the paralytic, "Get up, take your mat and go home."
The man got up and
went home. (Spiritual insight: Jesus forgave the sin
which caused the disease.)
Matthew 9:20-22 -
A woman who had been subject to bleeding for 12 years came up behind Him &
touched the edge of His cloak. She said to herself, "If I only touch
His cloak, I will be healed (Greek translation is sozo/ saved)." Jesus
turned & saw her. "Take heart,
daughter, " He said, "Your faith has
healed you.
(Greek translation is sozo/saved)"
(See Luke 6:19 + Mark 5:25-34)

Matthew 9:32-33 NIV -
A man who was demon-possessed and could not talk was brought to Jesus.

disease & sickness.
Matthew 10:8 -
(These 12, Jesus sent out with the
following instructions),
(You) "Heal the sick, raise
the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons."

back & report to John what you hear & see:
The blind receive sight, the lame walk, those
who have leprosy are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised, & the good news is
preached to the poor. Blessed is the man who does not fall away on account
of Me."
Matthew 11:28 -
Jesus said, "Come to
Me, all you who are weary & burdened, & I will give you rest."
Matthew 12:3 (NIV) -
Consider Him (Jesus Christ) Who endured such
opposition from sinful men, so that you will not grow weary & lose heart (KJV:
lest you be wearied & faint in
your minds)

He said
to the man, "Stretch out your hand."
So he stretched it out & it was

6:10)
Matthew 12:15 -
Many followed Him (Jesus) & He
healed ALL their sick.
Matthew 12:22
- They brought Him a demon-possessed man who was blind & mute.

healed
him, so that he could both talk & see. (see Matthew 9:32-33)
Matthew 12:28-29 -
(Jesus said), "If I
drive out
demons by the Spirit of God,
then the kingdom of God has come upon you.
Or again, how can anyone enter a strong man's house & carry off his
possessions unless he 1st ties up the strong man? Then he can rob his
house."
(Spiritual insight: The baptism of the Holy Spirit aids in overcoming demons.)
Matthew 12:43-45 -
"When
an evil spirit comes out of a man,
it goes through & places seeking rest & does not find it.
Then it
says, 'I will return to the house I left.'
When it arrives, it finds the
house unoccupied (by the Holy Spirit), swept clean & put
in order.
Then it goes & takes with it 7 other spirits more wicked
than itself & they go in & live there.
The final condition of that man is
worse than the first. That is how it will be with this wicked generation."
Matthew 13:58 -
He
(Jesus) did not do many miracles there because of their lack of
faith.
(Spiritual principle: Faith is the key that unlocks the door to
healing,)

Jesus went forth, saw a great multitude & was moved with compassion toward them.
He
healed their sick
Matthew14: 35-36 -
People brought all their sick to Him (Jesus) & begged Him to let the
sick just touch the edge of His cloak &
all who touched Him were
healed.
Matthew 15:22-28 -
A Canaanite woman from that
vicinity came to Him, crying out, "Lord, Son of David, have mercy on me.
My daughter is suffering terribly from demon-possession (King James
version says "grievously vexed with a devil")." Jesus did
not answer a word, so His disciples came to & urged Him, "Send her away, for
she keeps crying out after us." He answered, "I was sent only to the
lost sheep of Israel."
The woman
came & knelt before Him. "Lord,
help me," she said.
He replied, "It is not right to take the
children's
(Jews'/believers') bread
(healing/deliverance/covenant/spiritual rights)
& toss it to their dogs
(Gentiles/non-believers)."
"Yes Lord," she said,
"but even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters' table."
Then
Jesus answered, "Woman,
you have great faith.
Your request is granted."
Her daughter was healed from that very hour.
Matthew 15:30-31 -
30Great crowds came to Him, bringing the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute
& many others & laid them at His feet &
He
healed them. 31The people were amazed when
they saw the mute speaking, the crippled (deformed/incomplete) made well, the
lame walking and the blind seeing.
They praised God
(the author of every good thing).
Matthew 16:19 - "I
will give you the keys of the kingdom of heaven; whatever you bind on earth will
be bound in heaven & whatever you
loose on earth will be loosed in heaven."
(Spiritual insight: This power was given to Christ's disciples after they
received the Baptism of the Holy spirit.
Every spirit filled Christian
has Christ's authority to bind evil & loose good, according to God's timing &
will.)
Matthew 17:14-20
- When they came to the crowd, a man approached Jesus &
knelt before Him.
"Lord, have mercy on my son," he said.
"He has seizures & is suffering greatly. [(KJV) He is a lunatic.] He often falls into the fire or into
the water.
I brought him to Your disciples, but they could not heal him."
"O unbelieving and perverse generation," Jesus replied, "How long shall I stay
with you?
Bring the boy here to me." Jesus
rebuked the
demon, & it
came out of the boy and he was
healed from that
moment. Then
the disciples came to Jesus in private & asked, "Why couldn't we drive it
out?" He replied, "Because you
have so little faith. I tell you the
truth, if you have faith as small as a mustard seed, you can say to this
mountain (malady/disease/ insanity),
'Move from here to there.' & it will move.
Nothing will be
impossible for you."
Spiritual Insights:
[What or who do we accept? Doctors? Feelings? Satan's thoughts planted in our mind?
God's Word in scripture?
NEVER pet (ignore/accept/ nurse/feed) your wild dog
(infirmity/ sickness/curse); chase it off, in Jesus name.
Miracles frequently occur when
we tenaciously agree with God & disagree with
all other evidence.]
Matthew 17:21 (TLB) - "This
kind of demon will not leave unless you have prayed & gone without food

I tell you the truth,
whatever you bind
(forbid) on earth will be bound
(has already been
forbidden) in heaven
& whatever you loose
on earth
will be loosed in heaven. Again, I tell you that
if 2 of you on
earth agree about anything you ask for, it will be done for you by My Father in
heaven.
For there 2 or 3 come together in My name, there am I with
them.
(Spiritual insight: Do not isolate yourself from your spiritual
family.)
Matthew 19:26 -
Jesus looked
at them &
said,
"With man this is impossible, but
with God all things are possible."

Jesus had compassion on them &
touched their eyes. Immediately they received their sight.

The blind and the lame came to Him at the
temple & He healed them.

you have faith & do not doubt,
not only can you do what was done to the fig tree, but also you can cay to this
mountain, 'Go, throw yourself into the sea,' & it will be done.
If you
believe, you
will receive whatever you ask for in prayer."
Matthew 24:13 -
He who stands firm to the end will be saved
(rescued).
Matthew 26:26 - "Take and eat
(bread);
this is My body (which bears/removes the wounds/diseases/evil of the
world). (The bread at communion represents the body of Christ.)
Matthew 26:28 -
This is My blood of the
new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins.
(The wine or red grape juice at communion represents
Christ's blood.)
Mark
1:21-27 - They
went to Capernaum.
When the Sabbath came, Jesus went into the synagogue & began to teach. The people
were amazed at His teaching, because He taught them as one Who had authority,
not as the teachers of the law.
Just then a man in their synagogue who was
possessed by an evil spirit cried out, "What do You want with
us, Jesus of
Nazareth? Have You come to destroy
us? I know who You are: the Holy
One of God."
"Be quiet." said Jesus sternly.
"Come out of him."
The evil spirit
shook the man violently &
came out of him with a
shriek.
The people were all so amazed that they asked each other, "What is
this? A new teaching
& with authority.
He even gives orders to evil spirits & they obey Him."
Mark 1:40-41 A man with leprosy came to Him
& begged
Him on his knees,
"If You are willing, You can make me clean." Filled with
compassion, Jesus reached out His hand & touched the man. "I am willing,
"He said. "Be clean." Immediately the leprosy left him & he was
cured.
Mark 2:10-11 -
"But that you may know that the Son of Man has Authority to forgive sins on
earth," He said to the paralytic, "I
tell you, get up, take your mat & go
home."
He got up, took
his mat & walked...(Jesus
forgives &
heals.)
Mark 3:5 -
He (Jesus) looked around at them in anger &
deeply distressed at their stubborn hearts, said to the man,
"Stretch out your
hand." He stretched it out & his hand was completely restored.
Mark 3:10-11 - For He (Jesus) had
healed
many, so that those with diseases were pushing forward
to touch
Him. Whenever
the evil spirits saw Him, they (the ill) fell down before Him &
cried out, "You are the son of God."
Mark 3:23-27
- So Jesus called them & spoke to them in
parables: "How can Satan drive out Satan?
If a kingdom is divided against itself, that kingdom cannot stand. If
a house is divided against itself, that house cannot stand. If Satan
opposes himself & is divided, he cannot stand; his end has come.
In
fact, no one can enter a strong man's house & carry off his possessions unless he
1st ties up the strong man.
Then he can rob his house."
(Spiritual insight: If the enemy (disease or
sin) is in my family, then the family has allowed the fox to enter the hen
house. Let us tie up the fox who is Satin.)
Mark 4:15-20 NIV
- Some people are like seed along the path where the seed is sown.
As soon
as they hear it, Satan comes and takes away the word (spiritual insight/healing)
that was sown in them.
Others, like seed sown on rocky places, hear the
word & at once receive it with joy.
Since they have no root, they last
only a short time.
When trouble or persecution comes because of the word,
they quickly fall away.
Others, like seed sown among thorns, hear the
word; but he worries of this life, the deceitfulness of wealth & the desires for
other things come in & choke the word, making it unfruitful.
Others, like
seed sown on good soil, hear the word, accept it & produce a crop: 30, 60 or even a 100 times what was sown."
Mark 5:2-15 (see
Matthew 8)
When Jesus got out of
the boat, a man with an evil spirit came from the tombs to meet Him...
No one was strong enough to subdue him.
Night & day among the tombs & in the hills he would cry out & cut himself with stones....
He shouted at the top of
his voice, "What do You want with me, Jesus, Son of the Most High God:
Swear to God that You won't torture me (a demon). For Jesus had said to
Him, "Come out of the man, you evil spirit."
Then Jesus asked him, "What is your name? "My
name is Legion," He replied, "for we are may."...
The demons begged Jesus, "Send
us among the pigs; allow us to go into them." He gave them permission &
the evil spirits came out & went into the pigs....The people went out to see
what had happened.
When they came to Jesus, they saw the man who had been
possessed by the legion of demons, sitting there, dressed & in his right mind.
(Yes, Jesus does cure mental illness.)
Mark 5:25-30 TPNT -
25A woman who had a flow of blood
for 12 years,
26suffered much under many
physicians, spent everything beyond her means & was not
helped, but rather became worse.
27Having heard about Jesus, as she came from behind the
crowd she touched the fringe (longest corner tzitzit/tsitsit)
of His prayer shawl (outer cloak/tallit),
28for she was saying,
"If I
could just touch (the corners/wings of) His prayer
shawl,
I will be saved (healed)."
http://www.rbookr.com/html/the_hem_of_his_garment.html
29Immediately the flow of her blood dried & she knew that her body was healed from the
plague.
30Immediately Jesus
perceived in Himself that the power (healing virtue) left
Him.
Turning in the crowd He was saying, "Who touched My
prayer shawl?"
(Consider Acts 19:11-12 - God did extraordinary miracles
through Paul, so that even
handkerchiefs & aprons that had
touched him
were taken to the sick & their illnesses were cured
& the evil spirits left them.
Consider
Acts 5:15-16 .
People brought the sick into the streets & laid them on beds & mats so that at least Peter's
shadow might
fall on some of them as he passed by.
Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem, bringing their sick &
those tormented by evil spirits.
ALL of them were
healed.)
Mark 5:34 - He (Jesus) said to her, "Daughter,
your
faith has healed you.
Go in peace & be freed from your suffering
(plague)."
(Spiritual insight: We need to touch God's healing power. A piano
needs our touch in order to make music.
God is always there.
Tenacious BELIEVING is needed to turn on His healing power.)
Mark 5:36-42 - Jesus told the synagogue ruler, "Don't
be afraid; just believe"...
He went in & said to them, "Why
all this commotion & wailing: The child is not dead but asleep."
But
they laughed at Him. After He put them all out (because unbelief blocks healing),..
He took her by the hand & said to her, "Talitha koum (prayer shawl, rise)."
Immediately the girl stood up & walked around (She was 12 years old). (TPNT footnote explains
that the Greek translation of the Aramaic was incorrect, because Talita coum
means in Hebrew "Prayer shawl, rise", rather than "Girl, I say to you, rise"...
A
prayer shawl with healing powers in the corner tassels could have been placed
over her during prayer.)
Mark 6:5-6 He (Jesus) could not do any miracles
there, except lay His hands on a few sick people &
heal them.
He was
amazed at their lack of faith.
(Spiritual principle: In order to receive, we
need to believe.)
Mark 6:7
- Calling the 12 to Him, He (Jesus) sent them out 2 by 2 & gave them
authority over evil spirits
Mark 6:12-13 -
They went out & preached that people should repent.
They drove out
many demons & anointed many sick people with oil
and
healed them. (Spiritual insight:
It is by the power of the Holy Spirit that
people are healed. The Holy Spirit is symbolized by anointing oil.)
Mark 6:56 - Wherever He went-into villages, town or
countryside-they placed the sick
in the marketplaces.
They begged Him to let them touch even the edge
of His cloak & ALL who
touched Him were
healed (Greek
translation is sozo/saved from sickness).
Mark 7:25-30 - A
certain woman, whose young daughter had an unclean spirit, heard of Him (Jesus)
& came & fell at His feet. The woman was a Greek, a Syro-Phoenician by nation,
& she sought Him
that He would cast forth the devil our of her daughter; but Jesus said to her,
"Let the children first be filled, for it is not right to take the children's
bread and to cast it to the dogs."
She answered and said to Him,
"Yes, Lord; yet the dogs under the table eat of the children's crumbs."
He
said to her, "For this
(heart felt) saying, go your way; the devil is gone out of your
daughter."
When she came to her house, she found her daughter
lying
(peacefully) on the bed and the devil gone out
(of her daughter).
[Spiritual insight: The mother's intercession brought deliverance to her child.
Jesus honored the tenacious faith of a non Jewish female (a nobody, a nothing).]
Mark 7:32-35
- There some people brought to Him a man who was deaf and could hardly talk, &
they begged Him to place His hand on the man. After He took him aside,
away from the crowd,
(away from unbelievers,) Jesus put His fingers into the
man's ears. Then He spit
& touched the
man's tongue.
He looked up to heaven & with a deep sigh said to him, "Be opened.."
At this, the man's ears were
opened, (the bondage of) his tongue was loosened (loosed) & he began to speak plainly. (TPNT footnote states that the spittle/spit of the1st born son was
believed to have healing power.)
Mark 8:22-25 -
They came to Bethsaida & some people
brought a blind
man & begged Jesus to
touch him.
He took the blind man by the hand & led him outside the village.
When He had
spit
on the man's eyes
& put His hands on him. Jesus asked, "Do you see
anything?"
He looked up & said, "I see people; they look like trees
walking around."
Once
more Jesus put His hands on the man's
eyes.
Then his eyes were opened, his sight was restored
& he saw
everything clearly.
(Spiritual insight: Not all healings are instantaneous miracles...
According to
TPNT footnote, the spittle of a
1st-born son was known to
have healing power.)
Mark 9:17-29 - A man in the crowd answered, "Teacher,
I brought You my son, who is possessed by a spirit that has robbed him of
speech. Whenever
it seizes him,
it throws him to the ground. He
foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth and becomes rigid. I asked Your
disciples to drive out the spirit, but they could not." "O
unbelieving
generation." Jesus replied, "How long shall I stay with you?
How long
shall I put up
with you? Bring the boy to Me."
So they brought him. When the spirit saw Jesus, it immediately threw the
boy into a convulsion. He fell to the ground & rolled around, foaming at the mouth. Jesus asked the
boy's father, "How long has he been like this?"
"From childhood," he answered. "It has often thrown him into fire or water
to kill him. But if You can do anything, take pity on us & help us." "If You can?" said Jesus. "Everything is possible for him who
believes." Immediately the boy's father exclaimed, "I do
believe; help me overcome my unbelief." When Jesus saw that a crowd was
running to the scene, He rebuked the evil spirit.
"You deaf and mute spirit,"
He said,
"I command you, come out of him
& never enter him again."
The spirit shrieked,
convulsed him
violently &
came out.
The boy looked
so much like a corpse that many said, "He's dead."
But Jesus
took him by the hand & lifted him to his feet, & he stood up.
After Jesus had gone
indoors, his disciples asked him privately, "Why couldn't we drive it out?"
He replied, "This kind can come out only by prayer
(& FASTING
- KJV)."

Chapter 1
What Is the Answer for Stevie? (edited)
'Early in my walk with Christ, I went to work at a
hospital for mentally handicapped children in Lubbock, Texas.
Just like
Jesus was driven or impelled by the Holy Spirit to go to the wilderness, I was
impelled to enter my own wilderness: this state school for profoundly
handicapped children.
1 of the most tragic places I could have chosen. My days
there were filled with heartbreaking hours of interaction with broken and
hurting children in an atmosphere filled with some of the most foul smells you
can imagine.
The children I worked with didn’t have control over their
bowel functions.
Many times they would smear excrement all over
themselves, over the doors, and over you.
I often asked, “Lord, is this
You? Did You really guide me here?”
Before long I came to understand that the Lord had brought me there by sovereign
appointment to teach me about Himself.
That place in Lubbock, Texas, was my own personal
school of the Holy Spirit. In fact, most of the key principles I use in my
ministry today I learned in that place. There were hundreds of little
children there, basically “thrown away” or discarded by their parents,
officially “wards of the state,” little pieces of broken humanity whom nobody
wanted &
nobody claimed. The Lord said to me, “My Word says if your
father and mother forsake
you,
I will take you up.
I want you to go & love these
little ones & be My
ambassador of love.”1 -
So I went. For the 1st 9 hours, I would work with the children who could walk. Then I would go to the non-ambulatory
wards to work with little brain-damaged babies. Many had been born to
mothers on heroin.
Others landed there after their alcoholic parents had
brutally attacked and injured them in fits of rage or alcohol-induced delirium.
These babies would stay in the little cribs until they were too big to fit in
them.
I would just hold them in my arms and gently rock them in a rocking
chair while I prayed in tongues (my
prayer language of the Spirit).
I just knew Jesus loved them.
I knew that I loved them too. It was as if
Jesus broke off a little piece of His heart & put it
in me.
I truly loved those little children. The Lord Started Healing
them. Suddenly I found that these little ones who were never supposed to
walk were walking. 1 little girl whose official medical
file stated that she had been born blind,
started seeing & responding. Every time I came into the room, even though I
made no noise, she would turn around & look at me while putting her hands out.
It’s true: The Lord started healing these children.
It was during that time that I was assigned to what
was called a “psychology task force” to administer behavior modification
techniques to some of the children. These techniques were designed to teach
selected 15, 16 &
20-year-old children how to tie their shoelaces or go to the bathroom
unassisted.
The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting -
I’ll never forget the day I met a 16-year-old boy in that group of children whom
I’ll call “Stevie.”2 Stevie was a victim of
Down’s syndrome,
a moderate to severe form of mental retardation often characterized by reduced
mental capacity and certain physical deformities.
Stevie was afflicted
with something even worse.
He was a self-mutilator who was driven to cry out and
beat himself in the face constantly.
The staff
psychologist at the school had secured permission from state officials in
Austin, Texas, to administer electric shock therapy to Stevie for a 6-month
period. This “negative operant conditioning,” as they called it, was meant
to modify Stevie’s behavior by administering electric shocks any time he beat
himself. They graphed his behavior over that period of time. I saw the
graph. He just got worse & worse instead of better. By the time I was
there, his face felt like dry alligator skin because he beat himself
continuously. Finally, the attendants tied Stevie’s hands in splints so
that he couldn’t bend his arms to reach his face. The only problem was that the
other children in his dormitory ward developed a new game once they figured out
that Stevie’s hands were bound at his sides. They liked to run up behind
him & push him so
hard that he would lose his balance and fall down.
Since Stevie could no
longer instinctively shield his face with his arms because of the splints, every
time the kids on the ward played their game and pushed him, Stevie would land
facedown on the floor without any way to protect himself or soften the landing.
Most of the time we would find him with blood streaming from his nose, lips, &
mouth. Whenever I would
come, Stevie could sense God’s love coming from me.
He would put his head on
my shoulder and just weep.
What Is the Answer for Stevie? -
Finally I said, “Lord, You told me that You sent me here to love these children. What is the answer for Stevie?”
Very clearly I heard the voice of the
Holy
Spirit say, “This
kind goes not out but by prayer &
fasting.”
Although this may be a very familiar Scripture to you, it
sounded totally foreign to me. I had attended a Bible university for 4
years and had earned my bachelor’s degree there, but I
didn’t even know that the Spirit was quoting a Scripture passage to me from
Matthew 17:21.
Another thing I’d failed to learn about during my 4 years of Bible school
training was the subject of fasting. I said, “Fasting. Doesn’t that mean
no food & no water?” So I didn’t eat & didn’t drink water, Coke or
anything else for that matter. I didn’t realize that when I fasted from food
that I would have dreams about fried chicken, baked potatoes & steaks.
I was also unaware
of the fact that when you
do without water, your priorities will change. By the 3rd day of my fast
without water,
I began to get jealous every time I heard someone washing his
hands in a bathroom sink.
Now Pray for Stevie -
On the 4th day the Lord spoke to me, “You can
drink,” so I started drinking water.
But I did not break the fast
until the 14th day. The Lord said, “Now pray for Stevie.”
When I arrived for my shift at the school that day, I took Stevie into my little
office cubicle & said, “Stevie, I know your mind may not understand what
I’m saying, but
your spirit is eternal.
I want to tell you that I am
a servant of the Lord Jesus Christ.
I’ve come to preach good news to you. I want
you to know that Jesus Christ came to set the captives free.”
Then I said,
“In the name of Jesus, you evil spirit of mutilation, you let him go now in the
name of Jesus.”
Suddenly Stevie’s body was flung about 8 feet away from me and
hit the other wall of the cubicle.
When Stevie hit the wall, his body was
elevated about 3 feet above the floor.
Then he slid down to the floor
& let out a long sigh.
Immediately I smelled an incredibly foul smell of
rotten eggs & burning sulfur in the room, which gradually faded away.
I quickly went to Stevie, cradled him in my arms & removed his splints while he watched with wide eyes.
Then Stevie began to bend his arms and gently feel his face. I watched him
softly touch his eyes, nose & ears; then he started sobbing. He had realized that for
the 1st time he was not being driven to beat himself.
He was gently
touching his face. He had been delivered...
In that unforgettable
moment, the Lord revealed to me what a powerful weapon He has given to us to
pull down strongholds & set the captives free. Within a few months, all the scabs had fallen off of
Stevie’s face.
He had begun to heal because he had stopped beating himself.
Frankly, you are reading this book because of Stevie. I thank God for this
young man & for the way the Lord used my compassion for his desperate
situation to impart to me the divine truth that I am about to impart to you.
The
miracle that brings you and me together in the pages of this book really began
even earlier, in my 16th year, in Kenya, East Africa, in 1962.
I was raised in a devout Hindu home.
My destiny was already set according
to time-honored East Indian tradition:
As the son of a Hindu from a high
military caste, I was being trained to become a leader in the Hindu community.
I was well-versed in the sacred Hindu writings. Since 1 of the chief
principles I had been taught from infancy was, “You are a searcher for the
truth,” I obediently searched for the truth. My parents were from India,
though I was born & raised in Kenya. I had won a number of
awards. Though my father died when I was 5 years old, I was still a
member of a privileged class and a high warrior caste in the Hindu world.
My diligent search for the truth took a sudden turn in a new direction on a hot
day in 1962 when a Baptist missionary’s wife came to our neighborhood to work
with some little children. For reasons known only to God, this petite woman from
West Texas was led to knock on the front door of a particular home where a
devout Hindu family was living to ask for a cup of cold water.
I happened to
be there & to be the one who answered the door, so I gave her a
cup of water & she gave me a Bible. (Little did either
one of us know at the time that our simple exchange of water for the Word would
result in the conversion of more than 700,000 people to Jesus Christ in the
years to come.
Sometimes even our most insignificant works of obedience
are destined for far greater purposes than we can imagine.) I started reading the Bible because, of course, I was searching for truth.
That
was how I came across the
strangest figure I’d ever read about. His name was Jesus Christ.
As a
searcher for the truth, I was captivated by this holy man’s incredible
statement: “You shall know the truth
& the truth shall make you free.”3 I
said, “Yes, that’s right,” and read further in the Book of John.
When I
read the passage where Jesus said, “I am the way,
the truth,
and the life.
No one comes to the Father except
through Me”
in John 14:6,
the blinding scales fell from the eyes of this committed Hindu of the warrior
caste who was so proud of his traditions. I was searching for the truth.
Suddenly I saw that Jesus Christ was & is the Truth. Even then I didn’t
receive Him as Lord & Savior immediately.
The Price Was Too Great
- Despite what I had read in the Bible, I was debating over whether I should
become a Christian because the price seemed to be too great to pay. If I dared
to confess Christ, I knew I would be rejected by my family, including my mother,
brothers & sisters. I would lose any status I had in the Hindu
world. In fact, to my knowledge, I would be the 1st in my caste ever to turn
his back on the Hindu faith.
Finally, I said, “I’m not going to read the
Bible anymore. I’m not even going to think about Jesus anymore.”
Suddenly I went to sleep. I wasn’t knocked on the head, nor did I drift off to
sleep.
This was something out of the ordinary. All of a sudden my head
dropped down on the table. I was instantly taken to a place where I’d
never been before. I was walking on streets of gold & heard the most beautiful voices
rising up in harmonies, singing songs I’d never heard before. I saw colors I’d
never seen before.
I was in perfect ecstasy (which means a lot to a Hindu.).
There was perfection all around me, but suddenly it all faded into
insignificance when I saw the Source of perfection walking toward me.
I saw a
light brighter than 10,000 suns put together, yet it did not hurt my eyes.
He came toward me. Somehow I knew that He was the person of Jesus.
I’ll never forget His eyes. When I looked into their depths, it was as if
He had felt every pain in the world & had shed every tear that had ever been
shed on earth. Pure love shone from His eyes in perfect combination with victory
& triumph. Then He came and put His hands on my
shoulders and said,
“My little brother….”
Suddenly I woke up & discovered that the Bible I’d received from the little
Baptist lady lay open to the Gospel of Matthew, where Jesus spoke to the rich
young ruler: Jesus said to him, “If you want to be perfect,
go,
sell what you have and
give to the poor, & you will have treasure in
heaven;
and come,
follow Me.” But when the young man heard that saying, he went away
sorrowful, for he had great possessions.
Then Jesus said to His disciples, “Assuredly,
I say to you that it is hard for a rich man to enter the
kingdom of heaven” (Matthew 19:21-23).
I read the passage and realized that the rich young man who had come to the Lord
ended up walking away because he thought the price was too great to pay. Then
the Lord spoke to my heart, 'Are you going to be
the same way?'
I said, 'No, Sir,' and
immediately received the Lord Jesus as my Savior, breaking untold generations of
strict family tradition and devotion to Hinduism. I moved closer to my
experience with Stevie when I moved from East Africa to the United States and
attended Bible school at a Christian university. I earned my bachelor’s degree
there & then went on to graduate school. I have to confess that I was
proud of my intellect.
I was intent on earning my Ph.D. in literature. I liked
being “an intellectual.”
I was faithfully learning to make simple things
complicated.
In the midst of my diligent pursuit of intellectual
achievement and self-worth through graduate studies, I received the news that my
mother was dying of terminal bone cancer in London, where the rest of my family
had moved from East Africa. My mother’s doctors said that she was going to
die in just a few weeks because she had a fast-moving & untreatable form of bone cancer that was
eating up her body.
I Had Come to the End of Myself
- I didn’t have answers for myself or my mother, but she was dying & asking
for me. I was just a poor graduate student in Texas. I didn’t have money to
go to England. It just broke me.
I had come to the end of myself.
All I could do was weep uncontrollably. Finally, after 3 days of tears & sorrow,
I had an unusual experience on the 3rd night. Again I went to sleep & was
taken to that same place I had seen years before, when I saw streets of gold.
This time I found myself in a grassy place kneeling before the feet of Jesus. I
was looking into His face with my hands clasped before me. I was singing to Him.
Jesus had laid His hands on my shoulders. I was surprised to
realize that I was singing to Him in a language I could not understand.
Then I woke up and knew something had happened. When I felt the urge to
pray, I obeyed & said, 'Jesus.' In that moment, a wind came into my room & took
my breath away. Then I felt something bubbling up inside me. When I tried
to open my mouth, a song suddenly came out in a language I could not understand.
The intellectual part of me said, 'This is weird,' but the rest of me said,
“This may be weird, but this is the most wonderful thing I’ve ever felt.”
I just kept singing in this strange language for an hour & a half.
The only
spiritual person I knew at that time was a Catholic nun
I’d met in graduate school.
I just couldn’t wait to talk to somebody about what
had happened to me, so I ran to find Sister Marsha.
I said, 'Sister Marsha, let
me tell you what happened to me today.' After I told her about my
experience, I asked, 'Am I going crazy?' I’ll never forget her answer. She put
her books down & looked at me with joy & said, 'Praise the Lord, brother. You’ve been baptized in the Holy Ghost.' The Holy Ghost
became very real to me from that day on. He started speaking to me. I quickly realized that He
is a Person. He started telling me about Jesus.
He said, 'Jesus
is the same yesterday,
today,
& forever.' I hadn’t read these words in
Hebrews 13:8 yet, so I said, 'Huh?'
He said, 'Jesus
is the same yesterday,
today & forever.'
Pray for Your Mother! -
This time I said, 'Yes.' Once again He said, 'Jesus is the
same yesterday, today,
& forever.' Finally I said, 'Lord, what are You trying to tell me?'
He said, 'Jesus healed 2,000 years ago.
He still heals today.' When
I asked, 'What do You mean, Lord?'
He said, 'Pray
for your mother.'
Since I didn’t know any better (I hadn’t been
taught yet that healing isn’t for today), I prayed for her as I was told. A few days later I received the news that my mother had been totally healed of
her terminal disease.
My mother lived another 24 years after that
healing & received Jesus Christ before she died."
Mark 10: 52 - Said Jesus, "Your
faith
has healed you." Immediately he received his sight.
Mark 16:17-18 -
"These signs will accompany
those who believe:
In My Name they
will drive out demons.
They will speak in new tongues; they will pick up
snakes with their hands. When they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt
them at all.
They will place their hands on sick people, and
they will
get well." (They: you & I)

sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners [KJV deliverance to the captives]
&
recovery of
sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of
the Lord's favor'
...Today this scripture is fulfilled in your hearing."
(See Isaiah 61.)
Luke 4:33,35 - In the synagogue there was a man

hear and to be healed by Him of their infirmities.
Luke 5:17-25 - The
power of the Lord was present to
heal them.
Behold, men brought in a bed a man who was taken with
palsy.
They sought means to bring him in and to hay him before him
(Jesus). When they could not find by what way they
might bring him in because of the multitude, they went upon the housetop and let
him down through the tiling with his couch into the midst before Jesus.
When He
(Jesus) saw their faith, He said to him, "Man,
your sins
are forgiven."
(Spiritual insight: Many diseases have a root issue of sin.

)"
The scribes & Pharisees began to reason, saying, "Who
is This that speaks blasphemies?
Who can forgives sins, but God alone?" Jesus perceived their thoughts.
Answering, He said, "What do you
reason in your hearts? What is easier to say, 'Your sins are forgiven
you.' or 'Rise up and walk?' That you may know that the
Son of man has
power on earth to forgive sins,
I say to you (man with palsy), 'Arise, take up your
couch, & go to your house." Immediately he rose up.

That is why I did not even consider myself
worthy to come to you. But say the word
& my servant
will be
healed...When Jesus heard this, He was

crowd following Him, He said, "I tell you, I have not found
such great faith
even in Israel."
hen the
men who had been sent returned to the house &
found the servant well.
Luke 7:14-15 - Then He went up and

were with Him & also some women

diseases:
Mary (called Magdalene) from whom 7 demons had come out...& many
others.
(Spiritual insight: The diseases & their root causes, the 7 evil
spirits, left.)
Luke 8:11-15 NIV -
"This is the meaning of
the parable. The seed is the word of God. Those along the path are
the ones who hear.
Then the devil comes & takes away the word from
their hearts, so that they many not believe & be saved (rescued/healed).
Those on the rock are the ones
who receive the word with joy when they hear it, but they have no root.
The believe for awhile, but in the time of testing they fall away. the
seed that fell among thorns stands for those who hear; but as they go their way,
they are choked by life's worries, riches and pleasures.
They do not
mature. The seed on the good soil stands for those with a noble & good
heart, who hear the word, retain it, & by
persevering produce a crop (fruit/retained healing).
Luke 8:43-48 NIV - A woman was there who had been subject
to bleeding for 12 years, but no one could heal her. She came up behind Him & touched the edge of His cloak
(corner tassle of his prayer shawl).

Hem of His Garment http://www.rbooker.com/html/the_hem_of_his_garment.html
Immediately her bleeding stopped. "Who touched Me?" Jesus asked.
When they all denied
it, Peter said, "Master, the people are crowding and pressing against You."
But Jesus said, "Someone touched Me; I know that power has gone out from Me."
Then the woman, seeing that she could not go unnoticed, came trembling and fell
at His feet. In the presence of all the people, she told why she had
touched Him and how she had been instantly healed (Greek translation is sozo/saved).
Then He said to
her, "Daughter, your faith has healed
(Greek translation is sozo/saved)
you. Go in peace."

to look at my son, for he is my only child. A(n evil)
spirit seizes him.
He suddenly screams; it throws him into convulsions so
that he foams at the mouth. It scarcely ever leaves him & is destroying
him. I begged Your disciples to drive it out, but they could not." Jesus
replied, "O
unbelieving & perverse
generation,
how long shall I stay with you & put up with you(r unbelief).
Bring
your son here."
Even while the boy
was coming, the demon threw him to the ground in a convulsion. But Jesus
rebuked the evil spirit, healed the boy & gave him back to his father.
They were all amazed at the greatness
of God.
(Spiritual insight: Before the Baptism of the Holy Spirit, even the
apostles were cowed by demons.
However, after one receives the Holy Spirit
Baptism, he receives both courage & authority to cast out demons.)
Luke 10:1-2,9 -
After this, the Lord appointed 70 others & sent them 2x2 ahead of Him to every
town & place where He was
about to go.

who are there & tell
them, 'The kingdom of God is near you.'"
Luke 10:17-20 -
The 70 returned with joy & said, "Lord, even the demons submit to us in Your
name."
He replied, "I
saw Satan fall like lightning from heaven. I have given you authority to
trample on snakes & scorpions & to
overcome all the power of the enemy; nothing will harm you.
However, do
not rejoice that the
(evil) spirits submit to you, but rejoice that your names are
written in heaven."
Luke 11:9 -
Ask and it will be given to
you.
Luke 13:11-13 -
A woman was there who had been
crippled by a(n evil) spirit
(of
infirmity) for 18 years.
She was bent over & could not
straighten up at all.

said to her, "Woman, you are set free from your infirmity."
Then He
put
his hands on her. Immediately she
straightened up & praised God.
Luke 13:15-16 - The Lord answered...'Should not this
woman, a (physical or spiritual)
daughter
(descendant) of Abraham, whom Satan has kept bound for 18 long years,
be
set free
(loosed)?'
(Spiritual insight: If this is a daughter by faith in God/Jesus, then
scripture shows us that born again Christians/Jews can be molested by Satan/evil spirit(s) to the degree of having an infirmity.)
Luke 17:6 -
He (Jesus) replied, 'If you
have faith
as small as a mustard seed, you can say
to this mulberry tree, 'Be uprooted and planted in the sea,' & it will obey you.'
Luke 17:11-14
Now on His way to Jerusalem, Jesus traveled along the border between Samaria &
Galilee.
As He was going into a village, 10 men who had leprosy met Him.
They stood at a distance & called out in a loud voice:"Jesus, Master, have pity on us."
When He
saw them, He said, 'Go, show yourselves to the priests.'
As they
went, they were healed.
(Spiritual
insight: They experienced the cure after the healing service & after they obeyed.
Luke 17:15-19 -
One of them, when he saw he was healed, came back, praising God in a loud voice.
He threw himself at Jesus' feet & thanked Him - and he was a Samaritan. Jesus asked, "Were
not all 10 cleansed? Where are the other 9? Was no one found to
return & give
praise to God except this foreigner?"
Then He said to him, "Rise
& go;
your faith has
made you well."
(Spiritual insight: We
need to Believe before we can Receive)
Luke 18:1 -
Jesus told His disciples...that they should always pray & not give up.
Luke 21:26 (KJV) - Men's heart failing them for
fear...
(Spiritual insight: A root cause of heart failure might be fear.)
Luke 24:49 -
I
(Jesus)
am going to send you what My
Father (God)
has promised; but stay in the city until you have been clothed with
(Holy Spirit) power from on high.
(Spiritual insight:
I + God operate
well with the baptism of water, but best with the baptism of the Holy Spirit.)
John 3:14-18 - Jesus
said, "Just as Moses lifted up the
snake in the desert (so that those bitten by a snake could be healed by looking
at Moses' brass snake),
so the Son
of Man must be lifted up, that everyone who believes in Him may have eternal life
(& healing/deliverance),
for God so loved
the world that He gave His one and only Son, that whoever
believes in Him
shall not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send His Son
into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through Him."
(Spiritual insight: Satin condemns. The Holy Spirit convicts.)
(The
snake usually represents evil & sin. Jesus took my sin & disease into
his body. God cannot look upon sin. That is why Jesus cried out, "Father,
why has Thou forsaken Me." For a moment, Jesus was separated from God,
until my sin offering was completed, 2000 years before I was born.)
(See Numbers 21:4-9 This old testament story shows us that God is willing
to forgive & heal all.)
John 4:46-54 - There
was a certain royal official whose son lay sick at Capernaum. When this man
heard that Jesus had arrived in Galilee from Judea, he went to Him & begged
Him to come & heal his son, who was close to death... Jesus replied,
"You may go. Your son will live." The
man took Jesus at His word
& departed.
While he was still on the way, his servants met him with the
news that his boy was living.
When he inquired as to the time when his son
got better, they said to him.
"The fever left him yesterday at the 7th hour."
Then the father realized that this was the exact time at which Jesus had said to
him, "Your son will live."
(Spiritual insight:
As Jesus is still
alive, we can take Him at His word now for our healing & also for the healing of our
children.)
John 5:4-9,14 -
An angel went down at a certain season into the
pool & troubled the water. Whoever who 1st stepped in after the
troubling of the water was made whole of whatever disease he had. A
certain man was there who had an infirmity 38 years. When Jesus saw him lying
there &
learned that he had been in this condition for a long time, He asked him, "Do
you want to get well?" The invalid answered Him, "Sir I have no man
to put me into the pool when the water is troubled; while I am coming another
steps down before me." Then Jesus said to him, "Get
up. Pick up your mat & walk."
At once the man was cured;
he picked up his mat & walked...
Later Jesus found him at the temple & said to him, "See, you
are well again.
Stop sinning or something worse may happen to you."
(Spiritual insight = Jesus Himself connected disease to sin, here in this
instance.)
www.merlincarothers.com
11/04 newsletter reminds us that the invalid waited 38 years for his healing &
admonishes us not to lose hope.
John 5:24,28 - "I
(Jesus)
tell you the truth,
whoever hears My word
&
believes Him
Who sent Me has eternal life & will not be condemned
(by Me)...
Do
not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves
will hear His voice & come out."
(Spiritual insight: We can say, " I do not receive you condemnation.")
John 6:28,29 -
They asked Him, "What must we do to do the works God requires?"
Jesus
answered, "The work of God is this: to
believe in the one He has sent."
John 8:15 - "I (Jesus)
judge no man,
but if I do judge, My decisions are right, because I stand with the Father, Who
sent Me. In your own Law it is written that the testimony of 2 men is
valid.."
(Spiritual insight: It is satin who
condemns.
It is the Holy
Spirit Who
convicts of sin unto repentance.)
John 8:36 -
If the Son makes you free,
you shall be free indeed.
John 8:44 -
(Jesus said,) He (Satan)
was a murderer
from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for there is no truth in him.
When he lies, he speaks his native language, for he is a liar and the father of
lies.
(Spiritual insight: There is a spirit of murder)
John 9:1-7 -
He saw a man
blind from birth. His
disciples asked Him, "Rabbi, who sinned, this man or his parents, that he was
born blind?" "Neither this man nor his parents sinned,' said Jesus, "but
this happened so that the work of God might be displayed in his
life. As long as it is day, we must do the work of Him who sent Me.
Night is coming, when no one can work. While I am in the world, I am the
light of the world."
Having said this, He spit on the ground, made
some mud with the saliva, and put it on the man's eyes.
"Go," He
told him, "wash in the Pool of Siloam", so the man
went, washed
& came home seeing.
("The cause of the suffering was
to manifest divine providence." per Hampsch in
Healing Your Family Tree)
(The disciples speak of a spiritual principle of generational sin as well
as person sin that causes illness.)
John 10:10 -
"The Thief
(Satan)
comes only to steal and kill and
destroy (the body, mind/soul,
spirit).
I
(Jesus) have come that
they may have life, & have it to the
full (today on earth, not just in heaven)."
John 11:22 NIV - Martha said to Jesus, "Lord, if You had
been here, my brother would not have died.
I know that even now
God
will give You (Jesus) whatever You ask."
John 11:39-43 - "Lord," said Martha,
the sister of the dead man, "By this time there is a bad odor, for he has been
there for 4 days." Then Jesus said, "Did I not tell you that
if you
believed, you would see the glory of God?"
So they took away the stone.
Then Jesus looked up & said, 'Father, I thank You that You
have heard Me. I knew that You always hear Me, but I said this for the
benefit of the people standing here,
that they may believe that You sent
Me.'
When He had said this, Jesus called in a loud voice, "Lazarus,
come
out.'
The dead man came out,
his hands & feet wrapped with strips of linen & a cloth around his face.
John 14:6-14 -
Jesus answered, 'I
am the way, the truth & the life (which includes health).
No one comes to the Father
except through Me. If you really knew Me, you would know My Father as
well... Anyone who has seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show
us the Father? Don't you believe that I am in the Father & that the
Father is in Me. The words I say to you are not just My own. Rather,
it is the Father, living in Me, Who is doing His work.
Believe Me when I say that I am in the Father & the Father is in Me; or at least believe the evidence of the
miracles themselves. I tell you the truth,
anyone who
has faith in Me
will do what I have been doing.
He
will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the
Father. I will do whatever you ask
in My name, so that
the
Son (Jesus) may bring glory to the Father
(God).
You may ask
Me
for anything
in My Name,
&
I
will do it.' (Spiritual insight: every one who BELIEVES in Jesus the son of God has
available to him the same Holy Spirit power of Christ to heal.)
John 14:18 (KJV) -
I will not leave you
comfortless; I will come to you.
John 14:30 - "The prince of this world
(Satan)
is coming. He has no hold on Me (Jesus)." (This scripture "should be called upon to cleanse the bloodlines of the family
tree." says Hampsch in Healing Your Family Tree.)
John 15:7 -
If you abide in Me (Jesus)
and My words
(scripture)
abide in you, you shall ask what
you will & it shall be done for you.
(Scriptural insight = Weekly church attendance is not enough.
We
need to read our Bibles daily & then to meditate on what we read, for scripture is
spiritual food for our souls .)
John 16:7 -
"Unless I
(Jesus)
go away, the Counselor
(Holy
Spirit) will not come to you; but if I go, I will send Him to
you."
John 16:23,24 - "I
tell you the truth, My Father will give you whatever you
ask in My
name. Until now you have not asked for anything
in My name.
Ask & you will receive, & your joy will be complete."

(Jesus)
have overcome the world (evil & disease)."
John 19:30 NIV - Jesus said, "It is finished!"
With that He bowed His head & gave up His (human) spirit (life/He died).
(Spiritual insight: Other Greek synonyms/translations are heart, mind, breath & Holy Spirit.
Lower case spirit means human spirit & upper case Spirit means Holy Spirit.)
(Forgiveness of sins is finished. Healing of the body is finished.
Healing of the mind is finished. Overcoming Satan is finished.
Deliverance from demons is finished.)
John 20:21-24 - Jesus said, "Peace be with you!
As the Father has sent Me, I am sending you."
With that He breathed on them & said, "Receive the Holy Spirit.
If you forgive anyone his
sins, they are forgiven; if you do not forgive them, they are not forgiven."
(God, forgive us, as
we forgive others.) (Spiritual insight: When His Holy Spirit enters us we
become His disciples/priests/mouth & can forgive, His hands & can heal/deliver.)
John 20:26-28 -
Jesus came & stood among them & said,
"Peace be with you!"
Then He said to Thomas, "Put
your finger here; see My hands. Reach out your hand & put it into My side.
Stop doubting & believe." (Spiritual insight: The world
existed in God's mind first, before creation.)
John 20:30-31 -
Jesus did many other miraculous signs in the presence of His disciples, which
are not recorded in this book. But these are written that you may believe
that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God & that
by believing you may have
(a healthy & eternal) life in His Name.
Acts
1:8 -
(Jesus said,) "You will receive power (to
do miracles/heal/deliver/preach salvation)
when the Holy Spirit comes on
you & you will be My witnesses...
Acts 2:38-39 -
Peter replied, "Repent and be baptized, every
one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins & you will receive the gift of
the Holy Spirit. The promise is for you and your children
and for all who are far off - for all whom the Lord our God will call.
(Spiritual insight= We all have been called, but all have not recognized His
call...Let us claim with tenacity God's promises, both for ourselves & for
those on our hearts. Jesus is the boat to eternal life, but it is His Holy
Spirit that is the sail in the boat.)
Acts 3:6-7 - Peter
said, "Silver or gold I do not have, but what I have I give you.
In the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, walk."
Taking him by the right hand, he helped him up, and instantly the man's feet
and ankles became strong.
He jumped to his feet & began to walk.
Acts 3:16 - By faith in
the name of Jesus, this
man whom you see and know was made strong.
It is Jesus'
name and the
faith
that comes through Him that has given this complete
healing to him, as you can
all see.
Acts 3:19 -
Repent therefore, and be converted, that your sins (and diseases)
may be blotted out.
Acts 4:7-12 NIV -
They had Peter and John brought before
them and began to question them. "By what power or what Name did you do this?"
Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them, "Rulers and elders of the
people, if we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to
a cripple and are asked how he was healed, then know this...
It is
by the
name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth (whom you crucified but whom God raised
from the dead) that this (crippled) man stands before you
healed
(Greek translation is sozo or saved.) He is the
stone you builders rejected, which has become the capstone. Salvation
(healing/deliverance) is found in no one else, for
there is no other name under heaven given to men by Whom we must be saved
(in mind, body, spirit)
(Spiritual insight: We too have crucified Christ, for
He died for the sins of generations past, present & future.)
Acts 5:15-16 -
People brought the sick into the streets & laid them on beds and mats so that at least Peter's
shadow might
fall on some of them
as he passed by. Crowds gathered also from the towns around Jerusalem,

healed.
Acts 8:7 - With shrieks, evil spirits came out of
many, and many paralytics and cripples were

spirits and illness.)
Act 8:14-17 -
When the apostles in Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the Word of God,
they sent Peter & John to them.
When they arrived, they prayed for
them that they might receive the Holy Spirit, because the Holy Spirit had not
yet come upon any of them; they had simply been baptized into the name of the
Lord Jesus.
Then Peter & John placed their
hands on them, and they received the Holy Spirit.
(Spiritual insight: Baptism of water for forgiveness of sins + Baptism of Holy
Spirit for power over evil.)
(Spiritual insight: It is
the Holy Spirit that heals others through us, so we need to receive the Holy
Spirit.)
Acts 9:17-18 - Ananias went to the house and entered
it. Placing his hands on Saul, he
said,
"Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, Who appeared to you on the road as you were
coming here has sent me so that you may see again and be filled with the Holy
Spirit." Immediately, something like scales fell from Saul's eyes, & he
could see again. He got up & was baptized (in the name of Jesus Christ for
the forgiveness of his sins).
Acts 9:34 - "Aeneas,"
Peter said to him, "Jesus Christ heals you.
Get up & take care
of your mat." Immediately Aeneas (a paralytic) got
up.

must rise and you must immediately take care of your own pallet." He

helped her to her feet.
Then he called the believers & widows &
presented her to them alive.
Acts 10:38 -
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit & power...
He went around
doing good &
healing
all who were [(KJV) oppressed by] under the power of the devil, because God was with Him.
(Insight: Christ is a synonym of anointed.)
Acts 14:3 - They (Paul and Barnabas)...granted signs
and wonders to be done by their hands.
(Spiritual insight: We too as disciples have opportunity to do signs and
wonders, by the power of Jesus Christ.)
Acts 13:39 (NIV) -
I want you to know that through Jesus the forgiveness of sins in proclaimed to
you. Through Him everyone who believes is justified from everything you
could not be justified from the law of Moses. Take care that what the
prophets have said does not happen to you:
"Look, you scoffers, wonder &
perish, for I am going to do something in your days that you would never
believe, even if someone told you."
(regarding: miracles, wonders & healings
for those who do believe, do receive & do
not scoff)
Acts 14:8-10 -
In Lystra there sat a man crippled in his
feet, who was lame from birth
& had never walked. He listened to Paul as
he was speaking (God's word).
Paul looked directly at him, saw that
he had faith to be
healed & called out, "Stand up on your feet."
At that, the man jumped up and began to walk. (Spiritual insight: Faith comes by hearing God's word.)
Acts 16:16-18 -
We were met by a slave girl who had a spirit by which she predicted the future.
She earned a great deal of money for her owners by fortune-telling. This
girl followed Paul & the rest of
us, shouting, "These men are servants of the Most High God, who are telling you
the way to be saved. She kept this up for many days. Finally Paul
became so troubled that he turned around and said to the spirit, "In the
name of Jesus Christ I command you to come out of her." At that moment
the spirit left her.
(Spiritual insight: Satin can counterfeit the
gifts of Holy Spirit.)
Acts 18:2-3 TPNT -
2Paul came to them,
3Because they they were in the
same trade he was staying with them & working; for they all were
prayer shawl makers by trade.
(TPNT footnote "Prayer shawl making required rabbinic training that all 3
had...Jewish men referred to the prayer shawl as a "tent or prayer closet",
because it was placed over the head to shield the eyes while
praying.) (Additional insight: Paul was a "tent maker"...Jesus said to go into
your prayer closet; for the Jews this meant to go under your prayer shawl/tent!)
Matthew 6:6 TPNT - "When you would
pray, you must go into your secret room; after you lock your door, pray to your
Father, to the One in secret; then your Father, the One Who sees in secret, will
reward you."
Acts 19:11-12 - God did extraordinary miracles
through Paul, so that even
handkerchiefs and aprons that had
touched
him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured
& the evil spirits left them.
Acts 20:9-10,12 -
When he was sound asleep, he fell to the ground from the third story and was
picked up dead. Paul went down, threw himself on the young man and put his
arms around him.
"Don't be alarmed," he said, "He's alive."
The people took the young man home alive.
(In Jesus' name, you & I who have the Holy Spirit can raise the dead,
even today.)
Acts 28:8-9 -
His father was sick in bed, suffering
from fever and dysentery. Paul went in to see him.
After prayer,
placed his hands on him
& healed
him.
When this had happened, the rest of the sick on the island came & were
cured.
Romans 1:16 -
I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the
power of God for the
salvation
of everyone who
believes; 1st for
the Jews, then for the Gentiles. (The New Testament original Greek word soteria tanslates as
salvation, deliverance,
health,
rescue & safety)
Romans 4:13,17 - It was not through law that Abraham and
his (spiritual) offspring received the promise that he would be heir of
the world, but through the righteousness that comes by faith...He
(Abraham) is our father in the sight of God, in whom he believed, the
God
Who gives life to the dead and calls (speaks) things that are not as
though they were...The words "it was credited to him" were
written not for him alone, but also for us, to whom God will credit
righteousness - for us who believe
in Him who raised Jesus our Lord
from the dead. He was delivered over to death for our sins and was raised
to life for our justification.
(Spiritual Principle: I am a spiritual son of Abraham if I believe what God
says in the scripture.
If I am a spiritual son of God, having accepted Jesus
as my savior & Holy Spirit as my baptizer, then I can speak out loud
things that are not as though they were and see God fulfill His promises in the
scripture.)
Romans 7:21-25 - When I want
to do good, evil is right there with me.
For in my inner being I delight
in God's law; but I see another law at work in the members of my body, waging
war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at
work within my members.
What a wretched man I am. Who will rescue me
from this body of death.
Thanks be to God, through Jesus Christ our Lord.
(Spiritual insight: The human struggle with evil is that we often fail to
recognize that it is the evil spirit not self that is at war with the Holy
Spirit. Once we recognize who the enemy is we can better defeat him,
through Jesus Christ's power.)
Romans 8:1 - Therefore, there is now
no
condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus.
Romans 8:11 - If
the Spirit of Him that raised up Jesus from the dead is in you, He that raised
up Christ from the dead shall also quicken (heal/raise up) your mortal bodies
(from their sicknesses & from death)
by His Spirit that dwells in you. (Spiritual insight: Holy Spirit can heal us now, before death.)
Romans 8:15 - You
have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but you have received the
Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father (God/daddy).
Romans 8:25-27 - Hope that is seen is no hope at all.
Who hopes for what he already has? But if we hope for what we do not yet
have, we wait for it patiently. In the same way, the Spirit helps us in
our weakness.
We do not know what we ought to pray for, but the Spirit
Himself intercedes for us with groans that words cannot express. He
Who searches our hearts knows the mind of the Spirit, because the Spirit
intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will.
Romans 8:31-34 - If God is for us, who can be
against us? He Who did not spare His own Son, but gave Him up for us all -
how will He not also,. along with Him, graciously give us all things? Who
will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God Who
justifies. Who is he that condemns? (Not God).
Jesus
Christ, Who died, more than that, Who was raised to life, is at the right hand
of God & is also interceding for us. Who shall separate us from the love
of Christ. Shall trouble or hardship, demons...or anything
else in all creation?
Romans 10:9-17 - If you
confess with your mouth,
"Jesus is Lord," & believe in your heart
that God raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. for it is with your heart
that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you confess
and are saved. As the Scripture says, "Anyone who trusts in Him will never
be put to shame." For there is no difference between Jew and Gentile-the
same Lord is Lord of all & richly blesses all who call on Him, for. "Everyone who calls on the Name of
the Lord will be saved." How, then, can they call on the One they have not
believed in? How can they believe in the One of Whom they have not
heard... Consequently, faith
(for forgiveness, salvation and healing) comes
from hearing...the Word of
God (Scripture)."
Romans 12:2 - Be transformed by the (Holy Spirit's) renewing of your mind.
Romans 12:21 - Where
evil (sickness, disease, & weakness) abounds, let (God's) grace (mercy & goodness) abound
all the more.
Romans 14:23 -
Whatsoever is not of faith is sin (Unbelief in Jesus the son of God is a sin leading to death of the soul.
In addition, unbelief in Jesus the healer blocks healing.)

under your feet.
The blessings from our Lord Jesus Christ be upon you.

- (Paul said,) "My message & preaching were not with wise and
persuasive words, but with a demonstration of the Spirit's power, so that your
faith might not rest on men's wisdom, but on God's power."
1st Corinthians 2:16 -
We have the mind of Christ. (Let us claim this daily.)
1st Corinthians 3:9-10 - It is written: "No eye has
seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those
who love Him.", but God has revealed it to us by His spirit.
1st Corinthians 4:9,13 -
We have been made a spectacle to
the whole universe, to angels as well as to men...
Up to this moment we have
become the scum of the earth, the refuse of the world.
1st Corinthians 6:3 -
Know you not that we (who have been forgiven by
God & also have
forgiven those who trespassed against us) shall judge angels?
1st Corinthians 10:10-11 -
Neither
murmur you, as
some of them also murmured, & were destroyed by the
destroyer (serpents). Now all these things
happened to them as examples for us (not to murmur/complain/grumble).
(Spiritual insight: Bitterness is our enemy.)
1st Corinthians 10:21 -
You cannot drink
the cup of the Lord & the cup of demons too; you cannot have a part in the
Lord's table & the table of demons. (Spiritual insight: Satan will flee in
the presence of the blood & bread of communion.
However, we need to appropriate this power when we receive. Refer to Hampsch in
Healing Your Family Tree.)
1st Corinthians 11:27-30 -
Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord (takes
communion) in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body &
blood of the Lord.
A man ought to examine himself (go to confession)
before he eats of the bread & drinks of the cup.
For anyone who
eats & drinks without recognizing he body of the Lord eats & drinks judgment
on himself.
That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number
of you have fallen asleep.
1st Corinthians 10:10
- Do not grumble as some of them did & were killed by the destroying angel.
1st Corinthians 11:27-31 Whoever eats the bread or drinks
the cup of the Lord (takes communion)
in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body & blood of the Lord.
A man ought
to examine himself before he eats of the bread
& drinks of the cup.
For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing the body of he Lord eats and
drinks judgment on himself. That is why
many among you are weak &
sick, & a number of you have fallen asleep (died
prematurely).
1st Corinthians 12:3 - Therefore I tell you that no
one who is speaking by the Spirit of God says, "Jesus is Lord," except by the
Holy Spirit.
1st Corinthians 12:7-10 KJVer -
The manifestation of the Spirit is given to every
man, to profit all.
To one is given the word of wisdom, the word of
knowledge, the gifts of healing, the working of miracles, prophecy, discerning
of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, (or) the interpretation of tongues.
All these works are from the same (Holy) Spirit,
distributed to each man as He will.
2nd Corinthians 1:20, 21 -
No matter how many promises God has made, they
are "Yes" in Christ...
Now it is God Who makes both us and you stand firm in
Christ. He anointed us, set His seal of ownership on us, &
put His Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
(Spiritual insight = Our house in heaven is paid for as is our healing.
Let us claim it.)
2nd Corinthians 2:10-11 -
I have forgiven in the sight of Christ for your sake, in order that Satan might
not outwit us, for we are not unaware of his schemes.
2nd Corinthians 5:19 (KJV)
God was in Christ, reconciling the world to Himself, not imputing
their trespasses to them, and has committed to us His word of reconciliation.
2nd Corinthians 5:21 -
God made Him Who had NO sin to be Sin for us so that in Him we might become the
righteousness of God (become right with God
and become
right/healed in body, mind and soul).
2nd Corinthians 6:2 -
He (God) says, "In the time of My favor I heard you and
in the day of salvation I helped you." I (Paul)
tell you, now is the time of God's favor; now is the day of salvation.
2nd Corinthians 10:3-5 - The weapons we fight with are
not weapons of the world.
On the contrary, they have divine power to
demolish (demonic) strongholds (of disease, death, etc) .
We demolish arguments
and every pretension that sets itself up against the knowledge of God, and
we
take captive every thought to make it obedient to Christ. (Spiritual
principle: Many thoughts are not from us, nor God, but from Satan. Once
we recognize this, we then can exercise our NO muscle to reject such unhealthy
and dangerous thoughts.)
Galatians 3:13 -
Christ has redeemed (paid the bail for) us from the curse
(consequences) of
(breaking) the law, being made a curse
(trade/substitute) for us:
for it is written, cursed
(evil/despised/diseased) is every one who hangs on a tree.
Galatians 3:29 -
If you belong to
Christ, then you are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to the promise.

Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Who has blessed us in the heavenly realms with
every spiritual blessing in Christ.
For He chose us in Him before the
creation of the world to be holy & blameless in His sight.
In love
He predestined us to be adopted as His sons
through Jesus Christ, in accordance with His pleasure & will, to the praise of
His glorious grace, which He has freely given us in the One He loves.
In
Him we have redemption (of both soul & body from disease) through
His blood, the forgiveness of sins (by confession & communion)
Ephesians 1:11, 13-15
- In Him we were also chosen...
Having
believed, you were marked in Him with a seal, the promised Holy Spirit, Who
is a deposit guaranteeing our inheritance until the redemption of those who are
God's possession, to the praise of His glory.
Ephesians 1:20-23 - He (God)
raised Him (Christ) from the dead and seated Him at
His right hand in the heavenly realms far (up) above
all rule & authority, power and dominion, and every title that can be given, not only
in the present age abut also in the one to come.
God placed all things
under His feet & appointed Him to be head over everything for the church,
which is His body (of believers), the fullness of Him Who
fills everything in every way.
Ephesians 2:6 - God raised us (me)
up with Him in heavenly realms in Christ Jesus.

in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do.

with might by His Spirit in the inner man.

immeasurably more than all we ask

(our) captivity captive.
Ephesians 4:26 - Do not let the sun go down while you
are still angry,
and do not give the devil a foothold.
Ephesians 4:31-32 -
Get rid of all (evil spirit) bitterness, rage and anger,
brawling and slander, along with every for of malice. Be kind and
compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God
forgave you.
Ephesians 6:11-17 (KJV) - Put on the whole armour of
God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For
we wrestle not against flesh
(man) and blood
(disease), but
against (spiritual) principalities, against (spiritual) powers, against
(spiritual) rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness
in high places. Wherefore take the whole armour of God that you may be
able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.
Ephesians 17-19 - Stand firm then, with the
belt of truth buckled around your waist, with
the
breastplate of righteousness in place, and with your feet fitted with the
readiness that comes from the gospel of peace.
In addition to all
this, take up the shield of faith, with which you can extinguish all the flaming
arrows of the evil one. Take the
helmet of salvation and the
sword of the
Spirit on all occasions with all kinds
of prayers & requests. With this
in mind, be alert and always keep on praying...
Philippians 1:6 -
Be..confident..that
He Who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion
Philippians 2:9 (KJV) -
Let this mind
be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus.
Philippians 2:27 -
He (Epaphroditus) was sick unto death, but God had mercy on him; &
not on him only, but on me (Paul) also, lest I should have
sorrow upon sorrow.
Philippians 3:10 -
I want to know
Christ and the power of His resurrection and
the fellowship of sharing in His sufferings. (Spiritual Principle = The
Holy Spirit is the power of Christ's resurrection & the power of our own resurrection from the grave.
The Holy Spirit is the power that Jesus used to heal & the power that heals us
now.)
Philippians 3:20-21 NIV -
Our
citizenship is in heaven and we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord
Jesus Christ, Who by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His
control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious
body, (beginning TODAY).
Philippians 4:4 - Rejoice in the Lord always. I
will say it again: Rejoice!
Philippians 4: 5-9
- The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything,
by prayer & petition, with
thanksgiving, present your requests to God.
The peace of God which
transcends all understanding, will guard
your hearts and your minds in Christ
Jesus.
Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is
right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable, if anything
is excellent or praiseworthy - think about such things.
Colossians 2:13-16 -
Christ, He forgave us all our sins,
having cancelled the written code with its regulations (curses), that was
against us and that stood opposed to us;
He took it away, nailing it to the
cross.
Having disarmed the (evil) powers & authorities,
He made a public
spectacle of them (demons), triumphing over them by the cross.
Therefore do not let anyone judge you (rock your boat/internalize, accept,
receive or take criticism personally, especially regarding past sins nailed to
the cross, thus under the blood of Jesus).
1st Thessalonians 5:16-19 - Be joyful always, pray
continually.
Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God's will for you in
Christ Jesus.
1st Thessalonians
5:23-24 - The very God of peace sanctify you wholly. I pray God your whole spirit
& soul
(mind) & body be
preserved blameless
(without defilement, corruption) unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful
is He Who calls you, Who also will do it.
2nd Thessalonians
1stTimothy2:8 -
I want met everywhere to pray with holy hands lifted
up to God, free from sin, anger & resentment/disputing/doubting.
1stTimothy 4:1-5 - The Spirit speaks expressly, that in
later times some shall depart from the faith, giving in to seducing
spirits & doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy, having their
conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry; & commanding to
abstain from meat, which God created to be received with thanksgiving. for them
which believe
and know the truth. Every creature of God is good &
nothing is to be refused, if it is received with thanksgiving; for
it is sanctified
by the work of God &
prayer
(grace before
meals).
(Proper nutrition requires a balanced diet. 2nd,
grace before
eating food, detoxifies
it, as will be needed more & more due to pollution, food sprays, animal
diseases, food engineering & germ warfare.)
2nd Timothy 1:7 KJV - God has not given us a
spirit of
fear, but of power and of love & of a sound mind.
2nd Timothy 2:25 -
Those who oppose Him, He must gently instruct,
in the hope that God will grant them repentance leading them to a knowledge of
the truth, & that they will come to their senses
&
escape from the trap of the Devil, who has taken them captive to do his will.
Titus
Philemon
Hebrews 1:14
-
Are not all
angels, ministering spirits, sent to serve those who will inherit salvation (of
soul, mind & body)?
Hebrews 2:13 -
I
will put my trust in Him (God).
Hebrews 3:12 - See to it that none of you
has a sinful, unbelieving heart that turns away from the living God.
(Spiritual insight: Perhaps the unforgivable sin is the sin of
unbelief that separates us from God and His mercy.)
Hebrews 3:19 KJV -
They could not enter in
(to God's promises/blessings) because of
unbelief.
Hebrews 4:1-3 -
1Although God's promise still stands-His promise
that all may enter His place of
(spiritual + mental + physical) rest
(healing) we ought to
tremble with fear because some of you may be on the verge of failing to get
there after all.
2For this wonderful news-the message that God wants to
save us-has been given to us just as it was to those who lived in the time of
Moses.
But it didn't do them any good because they didn't
believe it.
They didn't mix it with faith.
3For
only we who believe
God can enter into
His place of rest.
He has said, "I have sworn in My anger that those who
don't believe Me will never get in," (Psalm 95:11)
even though He has been ready
& waiting for them since the world began.
Hebrews 4:12 -
The
Word of God is living
& active,
sharper than any double edged sword.
It penetrates even to dividing soul & spirit,
joints & marrow.
It judges the thoughts & attitudes of the
heart. (Note, the spirit of man & soul of man are 2 separate entities.
Spiritual insight: Christ rebuked Satan with the Word of God, so that Satan
fled &
did not gain victory.
We can rebuke evil "thoughts", in the name of Jesus, so that they will flee.)
Hebrews 4:13 KJV -
Neither is there any creature
(evil spirit) that is not manifest (revealed)
in His sight.
All things are naked & opened to the eyes of Him.
Hebrews 4:14 - Let us hold firmly to the
faith we profess.
Hebrews 4:16 - Let us then approach the throne of grace
with confidence.
Hebrews 5:8 - He (Jesus) was a son.
He learned obedience from what He suffered.
Once made perfect, He became
the source of eternal salvation (of spirit, soul/mind, body)
for all.
Hebrews 6:11-12 -
We want each of you to show this same
diligence to the very end, in order to make your your hope sure.
We do
not want you to become lazy, but to imitate those who through faith & patience
inherit what has been promised.
Hebrews 7:25 -
He (Jesus) is able
to save completely those who come to God through Him, because He always lives to
intercede for them.
Hebrews 9:22 -
Almost all things are by the law (of Moses) purged with blood; & without shedding
of blood is no remission (of sin). (In church
communion our Messiah's blood is represented by wine or red grape juice.)
Hebrews 10:10,15-19 - We have been made holy through
the sacrifice of the body of Jesus Christ once for all...The Holy Spirit also
testifies to us about this. 1st He says, "This is the covenant I will
make with them after that time," says the Lord. "I will put My laws in
their hearts and I will write them on their minds."
Then He adds, "Their
sins and lawless acts I will remember no more."
Where these sins have been
forgiven, there is no longer any sacrifice for sin.
Hebrews 11:1 (KJV) - Faith is the substance of things
hoped for,
the evidence of things not seen.
Hebrews 11:3 - By faith we understand that the
universe was formed at God's command, so that what is seen was not made
out of what was visible.
(Spiritual principle: We need to speak aloud most everything we desire
to materialize. Likewise we need to zip our lip to those things that would
become curses in our lives: doubt/gossip/drugs/liquor/sweets)
Hebrews 11:1,6 - Now
faith is being sure of
what we hope for and certain of what
we do not see.
Without faith it is
impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He
exists & that He rewards those who earnestly
seek Him. (Spiritual idiom: faith is a muscle that increases with use.)
Hebrews 12 1-3 -
Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses (of
faith), let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily
entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us.
Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author & perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before Him endured the cross,
scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.
Consider Him Who endured such opposition from sinful men, so that you will
not grow weary & lose heart.
Hebrews 12:12 (KJV) - Look(ing)
diligently...lest any "root of bitterness"
springing up trouble you and thereby
many be defiled (diseased/bitter/sick)
Hebrews 12:13 NIV -
Make level paths for your feet, that the lame may not be disabled, but rather
healed.
Hebrews 12:15 (KJV) - Look diligently lest any man
fail of (miss) the grace of God;
lest any "root of bitterness" spring up and
trouble you, and thereby many are defiled.
(Bitterness is a principality; under it are 7
spirits: unforgiveness, resentment, retaliation, anger, hatred, violence & murder per Henry Wright.

)
Hebrews 13:5-6 -
God has said, "Never will I
leave you; never will I forsake you,
so we say with confidence, "The Lord is my
helper, I will not be afraid."
James
1:1-5 -
Consider it pure joy, my brothers,
whenever you face trials of many kinds,
because you know that the testing of your faith develops perseverance.
Perseverance must finish its work so that you may be mature & complete, not lacking anything.
James 1:5-8 -
If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God,
Who gives generously to all without finding fault & it will be given to him.
When he asks, he must
believe & not
doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of
the sea, blown & tossed by
the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the
Lord; he is a double-minded (soul/personality) man, unstable in all he does. (Schizo means split or division.)
(God explained schizophrenia to Ida Mae Hammond.
www.thechildren'sbread.net )
James 1:13 - Let no man say when he is tempted, I am
tempted of God, for God cannot be tempted with evil; either tempts He any man.
James 1:6-8 - But
when he asks, he must believe &
not doubt, because he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed
by the wind. That man should not think he will receive anything from the
Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all he does.
James 4:2 - You have not, because you ask not.
James 4:7 - Submit yourselves, then, to God.
Resist the devil & he will flee from you.
Come near to God & He
will come near to you. (paraphrased: Resist disease & it will flee; also,
Resist sin & it will flee)
James 5:14-16 Is any one of you sick? He should
call the elders of the church to pray over him and anoint him
with oil in the Name of the Lord. The
prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well; the Lord will raise him
up. If he has sinned, he will be forgiven.
Therefore confess your sins to each other & pray for each
other so that you may be healed.
The prayer of a righteous man is powerful & effective. (Spiritual principles #1.
the need for confession, #2. the role of church elders, #3. the medicinal
value of oil which represents the Holy Spirit, & #4. the connection between disease and sin)
1st Peter 1:13(KJV) -
Gird up the loins of your mind, be sober & hope to the end
for the grace that is to be brought
to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ.
1st Peter 1:18-21
-You were redeemed from the empty way of life handed down to you from your
forefathers...with the precious blood of Christ, a lamb without blemish or
defect (as required by Jewish law).
He (Jesus) was chosen before the
creation of the world, but was revealed in these last times for your sake.
Through Him you believe in God. (Spiritual insight:
Our belief in the Messiah
makes available to us the healing of inherited family dysfunctions, diseases & maladies.)
1st Peter 2:9 - But
you are a chosen people, a
royal priesthood, a holy nation, a people belonging to God, that you may
declare the praises of Him Who called you out of darkness into His wonderful
light.
Once you were not a people, but now you are the people of God.
Once
you had not received mercy, but now you have received mercy.
1st Peter 3:7 -
Husbands, in
the same way be considerate as you live with your wives & treat them with
respect as the weaker partner & as heirs with you of the gracious gift of life,
so that
nothing will hinder your prayers.
1st Peter 4:8 (KJV) -
Above all things have fervent charity (mercy/forgiveness/love)
among yourselves:
for charity shall cover the multitude of sins.
1st Peter 5:6-11 - Humble yourselves, therefore, under
God's mighty hand, that He may lift you up in due time. Cast all
your anxiety on Him because He cares for you. Be self-controlled and
alert.
Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for
someone to devour.
Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you
know that your brothers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of
sufferings.
The God of all grace, Who called you to His eternal glory
in Christ, after you have suffered a little while,
will Himself restore you
& make you strong, firm and steadfast.
To Him be the power for ever & ever. Amen.
(Our enemy is not our illness, our medicine, our doctor, our situation,
but Satan.)
2nd Peter 1:3 - His divine power has given to us all things.
1st John 1:9 -
If we confess our sins, He is faithful & just to
forgive us our sins, & to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1st John 3:8 - The reason the
Son of God
appeared was to destroy the devil's work
(disease/infirmity/illness/death).
1st John 3:14-15 - We
know that we have passed from death to life, because we love our brothers.
Anyone who does not love remains in death.
Anyone who hates his
brother is a murderer & you know that no murderer has eternal life in him.
(Spiritual insight: Murder in my heart contributes to my death by
disease,
not just my spiritual death.)
1st John 4:3-4 -
Every spirit that does not
acknowledge Jesus is not from God.
This is the spirit of the antichrist, which you have
heard is coming and even now is already in the world. You dear children
are from God & have overcome them,
because the One who is in you is
greater than (Satan) the one who is in the world.
(Asking God the Father, Jesus the son & the Holy Spirit to take up residence in
our hearts, provides the help & protection we need for the rest of our lives.)
1st John 4:18 - There is no fear in
love.
(God is love.) but perfect love
(God) casts out fear, because fear has torment. He
that fears is not made perfect.
1st John 5:4-5 (KJV) -
This is the
victory that overcomes the world, even our faith.
Who is he that overcomes
the world, but he that believes that Jesus is the Son of God.
1st John 5:13-15 - I write these things to you who
believe in the Name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal
life.
This is the confidence we have in approaching God: that if we ask
anything according to His will, He hears us.
If we know that He
hears us
(then) whatever we ask, we know that we have what we asked of Him.
1st John 5:16-18 -
If anyone sees his brother commit a sin that does
not lead
to death, he should pray and God will give him life.
I refer to those
whose sin does not lead to death. There is a sin that leads to
death.
I am not saying that he should pray about that.
All
wrongdoing is sin, and there is sin that does
not lead to death
(terminal illness).
2nd John
3rd John 2 (KJV) "Beloved, I wish above all things that
you
may
prosper.
Be in health, even as your soul prospers.
(A major cause of poor health is due to soul wounds, needing healing.)
Jude 9 - The
archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses,
did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord
rebuke you!"
(Spiritual insight: It is God who judges & brings about justice.)
Revelation 3:18 (TLB) -
Get medicine from Me to heal your eyes & give you back your sight.
Revelation 12:10-11 - For the accuser (Satan) of our
brothers, who accuses them before our God day and night, has been hurled down.
They overcame him by the blood of the Lamb & by (speaking out loud)
the word of their testimony.
Revelation 12:17 -
The dragon (Satan) was enraged at the woman (Mary
mother of Jesus) & went off to make war against the rest of her (spiritual)
offspring. Those who obey God's commandments & hold to the
testimony of Jesus.
(Spiritual insight:
We are not at war with disease & evil
but with evil spirits who are out to destroy mind, body & soul.)

There Was No Jesus, There Is No God: A
Scholarly Examination of the Scientific, Historical & Philosophical Evidence
& Arguments for Monotheism
Part
1 reveals
the spurious nature of the sources used to establish the truth of Christianity &
the existence of Jesus & the equally spurious methods employed by many
Biblical scholars.
A brief interlude then leaves no doubt that the existence of
the Christ of Faith is virtually impossible &
concludes that even the existence of a stripped-down Historical Jesus is
uncertain.
Bayesian reasoning is shown to justify skeptical views on many
topics, including the existence of God.
Part 2
shifts the focus to the God of classical theism and monotheism, examining the
evidence & arguments from scientific, historical & philosophical perspectives.
The inadequacy of the case for God is found to easily justify non-belief
(atheism). Furthermore, considerations of alternative gods & conceptions of God,
lead to game-changing concerns for Christians, Muslims &
Jews.

Louis
Klopsch
Originator of red letter edition of Bible -
Originated from recognition of pathos of Jesus
red blood.
-
Klopsch, Louis -
http://www.squidoo.com/red-letter-bible
- "Klopsch conceived the idea of printing some of the Biblical text with red ink
while he was reading Jesus' words himself, 'This cup is the new covenant in my
blood, which is poured out for you.' (Luke 22:20), he thought printing all of
Jesus' words in red; the color of his blood, might be a novel & useful idea."
[3]
Klopsch, Louis -
http://www.deepershopping.com/red-letter-bible/2323/storepage.html
In Modern Christianity, Klopsch wrote in an explanatory note on his
red-letter
Bible,
"striving zealously to draw nearer to the great
Founder of the Faith. Setting aside mere human doctrines & theories regarding
Him, it presses close to the Divine Presence, to gather from His own lips the
definition of His mission to the world & His own revelation of the Father… The
Red Letter Bible has been prepared & issued in the full conviction that it
will meet the needs of the student, worker & searchers after truth
everywhere." [4]

“BRIAN:
Jesus Christ came into
my room. He breathed on & commissioned me.
SID:
When he breathed on you, I
have to ask you this, what did it feel like?
BRIAN:
It felt like a kiss from
Heaven. It felt like Heaven's wind.
The rock, the breath, the wind of God came
upon me. He spoke to me & said,
"I'm commissioning you to translate the
Bible into the translation project that I'm giving you to do."
He promised
that he would help me & he promised me that he would give me secrets
of the Hebrew language.
SID: Do you
believe that when he blew on you it was an impartation for revelation?
BRIAN: I
do. I believe the spirit of revelation was given. I have to say, when he
breathed on me in no way would I want to compare that to the writers of the New
Testament, the original writers, you know, Moses & the Torah, & Ezekiel. He breathed on
me so that I would do the project.
I felt downloads coming,
instantly.
I received downloads. It was like, I got a chip put inside of me.
I got a
connection inside of me to hear him better, to understand the scriptures better
& hopefully to translate.
SID: Are you
finding that when people read this translation that it almost does a mind bypass
& goes directly into the heart?
BRIAN: I think
that's a brilliant way to say it. The poetic language of Hebrew & Aramaic
released something inside of us. It's Divine. It is full of revelation.
There's
flavor. It's not, it's like thinking with your heart.
It's like heart level to
heart level, spirit to spirit, deep calling out to deep.
SID:
Passion is
the operative word. This translation will give you that passion back.”
