Pray Like This and Take These Steps to Get Free from Addiction

For people that are struggling with addiction, or someone you care about is struggling with addiction, there are ways to pray, and steps to take to freedom from addiction. But first, let’s look at why people get stuck in a lifestyle of addiction is that instead of calling it what it is, sin, they call it a disease and therefore do not deal with the root of the problem and try to treat addiction as you would a disease in the natural. But the root problem is not a physical problem it is a spiritual one. And needs to be addressed accordingly.

Another reason people get stuck is that they refuse to accept the responsibilities for their own bad decisions and look for others to place the blame on like Adam and Eve did in the Garden of Eden when they ate of the forbidden fruit. Adam first blamed Eve, but ultimately blamed God for giving her to him. And when Eve was asked why she ate of the forbidden fruit she blamed the devil. And you know what? God’s people still blame one another, God and the devil today.

In addition to blaming others, people blame circumstances, like their past. Why is this equally wrong? No matter how difficult your situations may be God has given you the ability to overcome. Not in your own strength, but with His strength. Zechariah 4:6 says, “’Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,’ says the LORD Almighty.” God does not expect you to overcome this addiction in your own strength.

God expects you to admit that you have a problem with an addiction. James 5:16 tells us to, “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.”

Not only are you to confess this sin of addiction to another, but you are also to pray with effectual power with others and alone. There are different ways to pray but here are 2 that will help you the most.

  1. The Prayer of Faith. Hebrews 11:6 tells us, “And without faith it is impossible to please Him, for he who comes to God must believe that He is and that He is a rewarder of those who seek Him.” When you pray to God, trust Him and in His faithfulness, believe He has your best interest in mind, and that He wills and is able to help you overcome all addiction. Remember you are to rely upon His strength, and not your own.
  2. Pray in the Holy Spirit. Many Christians have fallen from God’s grace and into sinful and addictive behavior because they no longer pray in the Spirit. They have forgotten the power of praying in tongues, and many never did as God’s Word instructs us to begin with, “Receive the Holy Spirit, Jn. 20:22. The Bible is clear when it says in Acts 1:8, “You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you.” Again, this is not human power, but supernatural power from God.

Along with praying in faith and in your supernatural language, tongues, there are initial steps to take to overcome this slavery to addiction. Here are beginning steps that must be taken.

  1. Be truthful, admit that you are struggling with an addiction.
  2. Ask the Holy Spirit to reveal the root issue for this addictive and sinful behavior in your life.
  3. Ask God to forgive you for this sin of addiction.
  4. Ask the Holy Spirit for His guidance in which plan of action you should take. Be specific, for example ask Him which program will work for you. And do what He says—be faithful and consistent and you will see results.
  5. Confess your sin of addiction to another Christian that has proven themselves to be mature in the faith, and responsible to handle life situations according to the Word of God. And set up a strict plan of accountability, whether it be a professional program, or accountability with a trusted person or a group.

And personally, I would never align myself with people that do not believe and practice the power of the Holy Spirit. If they do not actively live out this supernatural power, then they are weak in the faith and dependent upon their own strength. And you have already seen in your own life how weak your own strength can be. You need the power of the Holy Spirit to overcome this addiction in your life.

Deliverance from a Spirit of Addiction

Addiction is real, it’s like a giant size wrecking ball destroying individuals, marriages, families, businesses, ministries, communities, cities, and even nations. It’s wreaking havoc in the lives of people throughout this entire earth, including the body of Christ. We can see the suffering it causes within the soul, (the mind and emotions), and in the physical realm. But what the world, and oftentimes the Church refuses to address is the root of the problem, the spirit. And until the spiritual aspect of this widespread epidemic is attended to people will continue to be enslaved to the addiction and its destructive behaviors and results.

Addiction is more than spiritual; it’s an evil spirit–a demon that has taken control of the mind and the emotions and works it’s evil into the physical realm of the individual and all those that they come into contact with. But even though, humanly speaking, the situation looks impossible, it is not. There is hope–His name is Jesus Christ, and with Him all things are possible, including freedom from addiction.

To be free from addiction one needs to be delivered in the name of Jesus and by the power of His blood. Why does one need to be delivered in the name of Jesus? Because according to God’s Word, “That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father,” Philippians 2:10-11. And when we have the revelation that addiction is a demon, our faith can arise to the occasion and take our God-given authority in the name that is above every name and demand this evil spirit out of ourselves, and/or loved ones. 

Also, to be free from addiction one needs to be delivered by the power of the blood of Jesus. Why? According to Isaiah 53:4-5 Jesus was whipped and shed His blood so we could be healed in spirit, soul, and in body. When we spend the time and rightly divide the Word, we can determine that the translations of Isaiah 53:4-5 is holistic. That the atonement, the redemptive blood of Jesus, does in fact provide spiritual, emotional, and physical healing. (For a greater understanding see chapter 2, pages 33-41, in The Healing Creed.) This includes deliverance from demonic forces that come to steal, to kill, and to destroy us, see John 10:10.

Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5.

 

Deliverance from addictions come in all forms. It depends upon the strength and familiarity of the demon. In other words, how long has the person been walking hand-in-hand with this demon? And how far into the darkness of sinful behavior has this person willingly gone with this evil spirit?

Sometimes all it takes is a prayer of repentance and the person is free from demonic behavior, because it’s just that–ungodly behavior. But other times the demon does not want to let go of the person, because it inhabits, possesses the individual, and it’s not going to leave it’s abode without a spiritual fight.

Now you notice I said a “spiritual fight”. You cannot force a demon out of someone with physical force or physical means, it’s a spiritual battle. For example, screaming at the demon, or physically slapping the individual does nothing to the demon. In fact, the demon is enjoying your display of ignorance and it wants you to make that person suffer more. It knows at that point you do not know who you are in Christ, and you are unaware of the authority in the name and in the blood of Jesus that you have been given.

To force this demon to leave you will have to create a spiritual atmosphere that the demon cannot handle being in. This means you will have to activate spiritual weapons that are supernaturally stronger than it is.

DEMONS OBEY THE FOLLOWING:

1. The authority of the name of Jesus. “that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth,” Philippians 2:10.

2. The supernatural activation of the power of the blood of Christ. “But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; the chastisement for our peace was upon Him, and by His stripes we are healed,” Isaiah 53:5.

3. And they will obey you when they know that you clearly understand that you have dominion over them. “Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you,” Luke 10:19.

TO CREATE THE RIGHT ATMOSPHERE, YOU WILL NEED TO:

1. Spend time in prayer and fasting. “So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and it will move; and nothing will be impossible for you. However, this kind does not go out except by prayer and fasting,” Matthew 17: 20-21.

2. Activate the fruits of the Spirit. But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control. Against such there is no law,” Galatians 5:22-23.

3. Pray in the Holy Spirit.

  • You need to activate supernatural power over the enemy – But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth,” Acts 1:8.
  • The Holy Spirit will pray through you what is needed – Likewise the Spirit also helps in our weaknesses. For we do not know what we should pray for as we ought, but the Spirit Himself makes intercession for us with groanings which cannot be uttered. Now He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He makes intercession for the saints according to the will of God,” Romans 8:26-27.
  • You need to keep yourself strong throughout the entire battle. – “He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church,” 1 Corinthians 14:4.

4. And you will need to kick out the doubters and unbelievers from the place. You may actually need to leave the place that is familiar to the one possessed by the demon and bring them into your territory where hopefully is saturated with the presence of the Lord. When Jesus came into the ruler’s house, and saw the flute players and the noisy crowd wailing, He said to them, “Make room, for the girl is not dead, but sleeping.” And they ridiculed Him. But when the crowd was put outside, He went in and took her by the hand, and the girl arose. And the report of this went out into all that land,” Matthew 9:23-26.

AFTER THE DELIVERANCE YOU WILL NEED TO:

After the deliverance has taken place, you must do the following as we are taught in Matthew 12:43-45 to keep the demons from returning. “When an unclean spirit goes out of a man, he goes through dry places, seeking rest, and finds none. Then he says, ‘I will return to my house from which I came.’ And when he comes, he finds it empty, swept, and put in order.  Then he goes and takes with him seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter and dwell there; and the last state of that man is worse than the first. So shall it also be with this wicked generation.”

  • Renew your mind and your ways as you read God’s Word. My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings.
    Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh. Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life,” Proverbs 4:20-23.
  • Develop relationship with God as you pray (talk to God) in your natural language and build yourself up as you pray in the Holy Spirit. “Then you will call on Me and come and pray to Me, and I will listen to you,” Jeremiah 29:12. And again in 1 Corinthians 14:4a, He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself .”
  • Keep the spiritual atmosphere clean as you listen to praise and worship music. “See then that you walk circumspectly, not as fools but as wise,  redeeming the time, because the days are evil. Therefore do not be unwise, but understand what the will of the Lord is. And do not be drunk with wine, in which is dissipation; but be filled with the Spirit,  speaking to one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord, giving thanks always for all things to God the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ,  submitting to one another in the fear of God,” Ephesians 5:15-21.

If you will work these Scriptures out to the fullest you will find the freedom from addiction that you and your loved one so desire.

Is Addiction a Disease?

Is addiction a disease? This is the first of a series about addiction of all forms. We are going to look at this difficult situation through the eyes of truth found throughout God’s Word. Today, we are going to look at this and ask ourselves what is it? Is it as the world says–a disease? Or is it something else?

Is addiction a disease? This is a good question. The world claims that it is, but what about God? What does His Word have to say about this? Let’s search out the Scriptures to find out.

Let’s begin with the basics. The dictionary definition of addiction is the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habit-forming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.1

The world of psychology believes that addiction is a disease. Here is a direct quote from the American Society of Addiction Medicine, “Addiction is a primary, chronic disease of brain reward, motivation, memory and related circuitry. Dysfunction in these circuits leads to characteristic biological, psychological, social and spiritual manifestations. This is reflected in an individual pathologically pursuing reward and/or relief by substance use and other behaviors.

Addiction is characterized by inability to consistently abstain, impairment in behavioral control, craving, diminished recognition of significant problems with one’s behaviors and interpersonal relationships, and a dysfunctional emotional response. Like other chronic diseases, addiction often involves cycles of relapse and remission. Without treatment or engagement in recovery activities, addiction is progressive and can result in disability or premature death.”2

I agree with most of this explanation except for the following words, chronic disease of brain reward, and like other chronic diseases. The world has pridefully removed God from life, except when there is a tragedy, then they remember God and place the blame on Him. Which in essence is refusing to accept responsibility for your wrong doings and placing the blame on someone or something other than yourself.

This same scenario took place back in Genesis when Adam and Eve’s lust for the forbidden fruit was manifested and found out. Neither accepted the blame for their own disobedience to God’s rules, but instead passed the blame to someone else. This is interesting and still happens today.

“And they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to Adam and said to him, “Where are you?” So he said, “I heard Your voice in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; and I hid myself.” And He said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree of which I commanded you that you should not eat?” Then the man said, “The woman whom You gave to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I ate.” And the Lord God said to the woman, “What is this you have done?” The woman said, “The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Genesis 3: 8-13.

The chain of blame holds people in bondage as we see here. Adam blames Eve for giving him the forbidden fruit, but in reality blames God for giving him the woman in the first place. And so often we will hear people jokingly blame it all on Eve, but as we study out the Scriptures Adam was there when she ate of the fruit. “So when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree desirable to make one wise, she took of its fruit and ate. She also gave to her husband with her, and he ate.” Gen. 3:6. Adam could have rebuked Eve and told her no, but he did not. He was an accomplice to this crime before he ate of the forbidden fruit for himself. And then we look at this passage again and think, “Wow! That’s very arrogant of Adam to speak so disrespectfully to God and tell Him that He’s responsible for this mess.”

Allow me to challenge you with this common response, “I will not accept the fact that the devil put this sickness upon me. I refuse to say that I was overtaken by the devil, but it was God who permitted this, and this is the reason why I am sick.” Just like Adam, people blame God for their troubles all the time.

Let’s go back to Adam’s first crime, and where did it begin? Sin begins in the mind, in the realm of our thoughts. And if we do not do as the Word instructs us, “For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ, and being ready to punish all disobedience when your obedience is fulfilled.” 2 Cor. 10:4-6. Satan planted the seed of temptation to disobey in Adam’s mind with negative words, and he dwelt on this thought and acted upon it and sinned against God.

The Bible tells us in James 1:14, “Each one is tempted when he is drawn away by his own desires and enticed.” Ponder upon the way this verse is written in the Amplified Version of the Bible, “But each one is tempted when he is dragged away, enticed and baited [to commit sin] by his own [worldly] desire (lust, passion).”

Now, let’s backtrack just a bit. It wasn’t just Adam that did not accept the blame for his sinful actions, Eve did the same. When God asked her why she had committed this sin, she blamed the serpent who tempted her. The serpent deceived me, and I ate.” Gen. 3:13. How often do we hear people say, “The devil made me do it!” No, satan did not make you sin. Yes, he tempted you, but you made the decision to sin all on your own. You are responsible for your sin.

1 Corinthians 10:13 clears this matter up of about who is responsible here, “No temptation has overtaken you except such as is common to man; but God is faithful, who will not allow you to be tempted beyond what you are able, but with the temptation will also make the way of escape, that you may be able to bear it.”

I can hear your contradicting thoughts, you argue, “That’s easy for God to say, He’s God. He’s a supernatural being. He doesn’t know what it’s like for us here on earth.” And I respond to you and say, “You are wrong. He does understand exactly what you are going through.” Hebrews 4:15 explains how Jesus was tempted when He walked this earth in human form,For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin.”

Do you think the temptations Jesus had to overcome were somehow easier than what you need to overcome? Back in Jesus day there was rebellion, lying, cheating, stealing, murder, prostitution, and other sexual sins, drunkenness… and this list goes on and on, just as it does today. Not only did He show you by personal example that it is possible to overcome temptation, He loved you so much that He took it a step further in the Garden of Gethsemane. He was about to enter into His final hours on this earth, and be slaughtered because of our sin, to redeem us from it and its consequences, such as sickness and disease and other forms of the curse. Let’s read this portion of Scripture from the Book of Luke, chapter 22, verses 41-44.

“And He was withdrawn from them about a stone’s throw, and He knelt down and prayed, saying, “Father, if it is Your will, take this cup away from Me; nevertheless not My will, but Yours, be done.” Then an angel appeared to Him from heaven, strengthening Him. And being in agony, He prayed more earnestly. Then His sweat became like great drops of blood falling down to the ground.”

As we study this out, we see that Jesus was being tempted by the enemy, satan, not to fulfill the plan of atonement for us. And I personally believe this was the greatest temptation of all time, but even though He was being tempted, He did not sin. And what I teach people with this portion of Scripture is that it was at this point-in-time that Jesus overcame the human will so that we could overcome it as well.

We are talking about biblically overcoming addiction in this series of articles, and no matter what the addiction is, whether it is an addiction to drugs, alcohol, sex, pornography, gambling, food… you have the ability with God to overcome any and all forms of addiction. But we must look at addiction through the eyes of truth. According to the Word in John 8:32, You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.” Blaming others, and bad situations in life does not help, and calling addiction a disease does not set you free either. In the natural disease needs medicine or medical treatments, you do not overcome addiction by becoming addicted to something else.  And calling addiction a disease does not set you free, it gives you an excuse to continue on in the choice of your sinful addictive behavior.

6 Reasons Why We Can Believe God

I want to share with you six reasons why we can believe God to keep His healing promises to us. But first, on the news, whether the source is secular or Christian we read or hear about how sickness, disease, plagues, pain and suffering are on the rise. Have we ever wondered why these devilish things are increasing? When we preach from human reasoning, instead of the truth found in Scripture, people suffer. When we put all our faith in what the doctor says, in place of the Bible, miracles cease. When we trust secular phycology, rather than heed biblical counsel, healing is hindered. We suffer from unanswered prayers when we give into the world’s system of doubt and unbelief, but we can change the situation around and learn to believe again. In order to do so, we need a reason to believe. Let’s look to the Word, find six reasons why we can believe God.

6 Reasons Why We Can Believe in God to Keep His Promises:

  • He is truthful. “God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good?” Num. 23:19.
  • He is just. “He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is” Deut. 32:4.
  • He is able. “And being fully convinced that what He had promised He was also able to perform.” Rom. 4:21.
  • He is willing. “Then Jesus put out His hand and touched him, saying, “I am willing; be cleansed.” Immediately his leprosy was cleansed.” Mt. 8:3.
  • He is faithful. “He who calls you is faithful, who also will do ” 1 Thess. 5:24.
  • His faithfulness is unconditional. “If we are faithless, He remains faithful; He cannot deny Himself.” 2 Tim. 2:13.

 Why We Can Trust God’s Word:

  • It’s alive and powerful. “For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.” Heb. 4:12.
  • It is inspired of God. “All Scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Tim. 3:16-17.

 Benefits of Trusting God’s Word:

  • God’s blessing. “More than that, blessed are those who hear the word of God and keep it!” Lk. 11:28.
  • Freedom. “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Jn. 8: 31-32.
  • Protection. “As for God, His way is perfect; the word of the Lord is proven; He is a shield to all who trust in Him.” Ps. 18:30.
  • Knowledge and Understanding. “For the Lord gives wisdom; for the Lord gives wisdom;
    From His mouth come knowledge and understanding; from His mouth come knowledge and understanding;” Prov. 2:6.
  • Life and Healing. “My son, give attention to my words; Incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh.” Prov. 4: 20-22.

 If we will spend time and meditate upon these Scriptures, we will find our reason to believe in God and His healing Word again.

Forgiveness Heals

Forgiveness has the power to heal. But as powerful as it is, it’s not something that is taught from the pulpits, even though Christianity is based upon the forgiveness Jesus extends towards us. And God’s people suffer the ill effects of unforgiveness Let’s look at the healing power in forgiveness. People suffer spiritually, emotionally, and physically from a lack of knowledge. A deficiency of knowledge, especially in God’s Word, is destructive. God says through His prophet in Hosea 4:6a, “My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.” He goes on to say that His people even reject it. They are unaware that everything that manifests in the physical world is an irrefutable result of spiritual occurrences around them. When it comes to partaking of the Word of God, many are malnourished. They do not have the substance to live victoriously. This insufficiency of the supernatural power of God causes great damage to the Body of Christ. It hinders God’s miraculous intervention to reach His people. God wants us to understand His supernatural ways. And according to John 16:13 in the Amplified Version of the Bible, He sends His Truth-giving Spirit to guide us into all truth, including the revelation knowledge of the supernatural. Jesus shares the power source of this truth in John 8:31-32. He says, “If you abide in My word, you are My disciples indeed. And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.”

A woman in Los Angeles, CA was so bound from arthritis that she could not walk, stand, sit, or lie down without non-stop intense pain. There was no doctor, medicine, treatment, or therapy that could relieve her from this pain. This woman lived a life of misery and lost her will to live.

The message of this particular healing service was about the power of forgiveness. And the truth of the Word that she heard me speak witnessed on the inside of her. Her friends carried her to the altar. When I saw her, I asked her if she was ready to forgive the person that had hurt her. She said yes, she was ready.

She prayed, “Father God, forgive me for not dealing with my anger properly, and allowing it to turn into bitterness. I forgive my husband for his unfaithfulness, and I release him from my vengeance. And in doing so, I am free from the sin of bitterness and the physical effects it has on my body, and I can now boldly stand before Your throne of grace and make my petition for healing made known. I am free to receive Your healing power in me, in Jesus’ name I pray, amen.”

Instantly, she was released from the hideous results of bitterness, and her body was healed and made whole. In that moment as she stood before His throne of grace, her body straightened out, all the pain and swelling were gone, and her strength was returned.

She looked up at me and said, “The message is true, and I am free!”

The truth that this woman needed to hear was that of forgiveness. It was the key to unlock her healing and deliverance from arthritis that was destroying her body from the inside to the outside.

The Word of God says that bitterness dries up the bones, (see Prov. 17:22.)

What’s inside the bones? Marrow. What is bone marrow? According to Medical News Today, “Bone marrow is soft, gelatinous tissue that fills the medullary cavities – the centers of bones. There are two types of bone marrow: red bone marrow (also known as myeloid tissue) and yellow bone marrow (fatty tissue).

Both types of bone marrow are highly vascular and enriched with numerous blood vessels and capillaries.

The bone marrow makes more than 200 billion new blood cells every day. Most blood cells in the body develop from cells in the bone marrow. 1

In simpler terms, marrow is a gelatin like fluid, and it produces red and yellow bone marrow. The red bone marrow helps your body produce blood, by making red blood cells. What’s in the blood? Life is in the blood.

The Bible tells us that bitterness dries up the bones. It zaps the very life out of a person. I have seen in healing line after healing line when people suffering from arthritis will forgive those that have done them wrong and release them from their bitterness that they are most often instantly healed and made whole.

This is no coincidence, the Word of God is truth, and it clearly says concerning forgiveness.

  • A merry heart does good, like medicine, but a broken spirit dries the bones.” Prov. 17:22.
  • “For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses.” Matt. 6:14-15.
  • “Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you.” Eph. 4:31-32.
  • “For we do not have a High Priest who cannot sympathize with our weaknesses, but was in all points tempted as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need. Heb.4:15-16.

Steps to Forgiveness

  1. Make a quality decision today to forgive by faith.
  2. Repent from bitterness.
  3. Release the person that hurt you from your vengeance.
  4. And stand boldly before the throne of grace and ask the Father for what you have need of in Jesus’ name.

Activate these steps in your life and witness how forgiveness heals.

Faith Comes by Hearing God’s Word

Many years ago, when I first started fulfilling my calling as a healing evangelist, the Lord gave me clear instructions. I was to first teach the people because they need faith to believe and receive their healing. And that’s exactly what I do, teach and then minister.

I am a firm believer that we need to give the people a reason to believe, a foundation for their faith. And this foundation is found only in the Word of God. His Word tells us that So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God,” Romans 10:17.  And it is this hearing by the word of God that I want to focus on in this devotional.

It says that faith comes by hearing. This word hearing in Greek means the act of hearing, listening with our physical ears, (G189, Strong’s). Faith comes when we hear the word of the Lord. And it goes on to say, “and hearing by the word of God”. The meaning of this word, “word” is rhēma, and it is a supernatural understanding of a topic. And in this situation, it is a supernatural understanding of the healing word that I am imparting to the participants at these healing seminars. But first the attendees must be willing to come and sit under the healing word and hear with their physical ears. And when they fully surrender their physical ears to the word of God, then their spiritual ears open up and the things that were hidden are made known and their faith arises to the occasion. As with the following case.

I remember a few years ago I was in Newfoundland, Canada teaching about healing and ministering it to the people. One particular night there was a definite anointing for the healing of deaf ears. Whether the person was deaf since birth, or by nerve damage or some other event, by the power of the Holy Spirit deaf ears were being opened.  There must have been about 10-12 people standing next to each other in the healing line suffering from deafness. And one-by-one, all but one received immediately and their ears were opened, and they were hearing with delight.

Why is this? It is because the rhēma word was being taught and they surrendered unbelief, their lack of knowledge concerning healing to the Father in the name of Jesus. They opened up their physical ears and the revelation of the healing word entered in as I spoke, into their spiritual ear, and it took root within the spiritual heart, and they began to speak and believe, act out faith for their deliverance and healing from deafness.

I believe the same is true in reverse. When we become spiritually dry, dead within our spirits, and we stop inclining our physical ear to hear the Word of the Lord, then our spiritual ear dries up. We become spiritually deaf, and we no longer hear God’s word, our faith becomes weak, and we can become sick, even deaf in our physical ears, if we stop listening and believing the promises of God in the Bible for our healing. But these people in the testimony above heard the Good News, believed, received, and were delivered and healed from deafness.

My son, give attention to my words; incline your ear to my sayings. Do not let them depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart; for they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh, Prov. 4: 20-22.

Coronary Artery / Heart Disease Prayer and Confession of Faith

For those that are suffering from Coronary Artery / Heart Disease here is a prayer and confession of faith for you to pray over your loved ones and to confess words of faith over yourself.

Prayer of Faith

By the grace of God (Rom. 4:16), I stand in faith without wavering with doubt and unbelief (James 1:6) for your deliverance from coronary artery / heart disease. By the redemptive power of the blood of Jesus, you are healed because He has loosed you from this infirmity (Luke 12:13), the curse, when He suffered and died on the Cross (Gal. 3:13). By faith in His healing power, the walls of your arteries are supernaturally cleansed from plaque buildup, restrictions of the blood flow to the heart’s muscle are removed, and the coronary arteries are re-created in Jesus’ name, amen.

Confession of Faith

I give You praise for You are faithful (1 Thess. 5:24) and just (Deut. 32:4) and both willing (Matt. 8:3) and able (Rom. 4:21) to heal me from this coronary artery / heart disease (Ps. 103:2-3). By the power of faith-filled words (Gen. 1), I declare that this buildup of plaque in the walls of my arteries supernaturally melts away and is eliminated from my body with no residue of this plaque remaining. By the law of grace (Rom. 4:16), the past limitations of the blood flow to my heart’s muscle are removed, and I am loosed from the bondage of this infirmity (Luke 12:13) with the re-creation of my coronary arteries intact. Amen.

Three Gifts Jesus Wants From You

Did you know that there are three gifts Jesus wants from you? Let’s look at these three gifts. As we look to the Scritpures concerning these gifts I pray this Christmas season that you will give Jesus the gifts due Him. We read in the story of Jesus about the gifts of the Magi and how they honored Him with these costly gifts, but we too need to honor our Lord with these same gifts. Let’s read on.

Just as the Wisemen gave many gifts to Him, God considers three most important to Him. What are these gifts? The answer is found in Matthew 2:11, “And after they came into the house, they saw the Child with His mother Mary; and they fell down and worshiped Him. Then they opened their treasures and presented to Him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.”

Gold was a gift given to a king, and the Magi had the revelation that this child was the King of kings, and the Lord of lords. And we are to present to Him a golden gift, our pure belief that He is who He says that He is.

That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen. 1 Timothy 6:14-16, (KJV).

The next gift they gave was frankincense. And this was a gift for a priest. And these wisemen knew that He was the High Priest, and like them we are to give a very costly gift with a sweet-smelling aroma, our prayers of faith. Hebrews 4:14-16, (KJV) says it this way, Seeing then that we have a great high priest, that is passed into the heavens, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold fast our profession. For we have not a high priest which cannot be touched with the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points tempted like as we are, yet without sin. Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need.” Revelation 8:3-4 from the Amplified version of the Bible describes our prayers of faith in this manner, And another angel came and stood over the altar. He had a golden censer, and he was given very much incense (fragrant spices and gums which exhale perfume when burned), that he might mingle it with the prayers of all the people of God (the saints) upon the golden altar before the throne. And the smoke of the incense (the perfume) arose in the presence of God, with the prayers of the people of God (the saints), from the hand of the angel.” So, while in prayer, keep these Scriptures in your mind and pray from your heart to Jesus our High Priest, and offer up to Him your spiritual gift of frankincense and boldly pray those prayers of faith and bless Him, and create that sweet-smelling aroma that He so craves from His people. 

And then they prophetically honored Him with a gift of myrrh. This rare and costly gift was given to a king to use at his death and burial to embalm his body. How can we spiritually gift Him with myrrh? Jesus came to this earth to redeem people from their sins, and in order to do so, He had to offer up His physical body as a supreme sacrifice for our sins. He had to die to in our place, and He did. And to honor Him with this precious gift of myrrh we need to recognize Him as our Savior, our Redeemer. Romans 10:9, (NKJV) instructs us like this, If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved.” Let’s do this now.

Dearest Jesus, I do believe that You are who You say that You are. I believe that You came to this earth to save me from my sins. I believe that You suffered and died and rose again from the dead for me. I ask You to forgive me of all my sins, all my sinful thoughts, words and deeds. I thank You for loving and accepting me just as I am. I ask You to be my Savior, to save me from all my sins. In Your precious name I pray, amen. 

Blessed and Highly Favored

Today we will read about the amazing favor that a young teenage girl, Mary found with her Lord, and how you also have the favor of God resting upon you. We read in Luke 1: 28-30, “And coming in, he said to her, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.” But she was very perplexed at this statement, and kept pondering what kind of salutation this was. The angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; for you have found favor with God.”

The angel Gabriel comes down to Earth, appears to a young virgin girl named Mary to deliver an astounding message from God in Heaven. The message that he has to give is so amazing, even the greeting itself is perplexing to the young girl. And it’s this greeting that we are going to look at today.

How would you react if the angel Gabriel suddenly appeared to you and said, “Greetings, favored one! The Lord is with you.”? And while you are trying to absorb what is happening, he speaks again and say, “Do not be afraid, for you have found favor with God.” I would render to guess that most would be speechless.

Maybe you have not had Gabriel, or any other angel appear to you, but did you know that you do have the unmerited favor of God upon you? This unmerited favor is called grace. And it is a free gift given to those who will simply believe and receive.

The Greek word for grace is Charis. And the Greek word for gift is Charisma. The root meaning of the word grace is gift.

It says in Ephesians 2:8-9 in the Amplified Version of the Bible, “For it is by free grace (God’s unmerited favor) that you are saved (delivered from judgment and made partakers of Christ’s salvation) through [your] faith. And this [salvation] is not of yourselves [of your own doing, it came not through your own striving], but it is the gift of God; Not because of works [not the fulfillment of the Law’s demands], lest any man should boast. [It is not the result of what anyone can possibly do, so no one can pride himself in it or take glory to himself.]

This unmerited favor of God upon your life is what Christmas is all about. This is why God sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to earth. To gift to you His grace, that was purchased for you by the redemptive work of Jesus at Calvary.

It says in John 3:16, “For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten (unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life.” AMP

You can receive this unmerited favor today. Let’s pray.

Abba Father, I believe that Your Son, Jesus came to save the Lost, like myself. Jesus, I believe You are who You say that You are. I ask You to forgive me of my sins. I thank You for forgiving me, and for loving and accepting me just as I am. I surrender to You and ask You to come into my life and be my Savior. Today, I receive your unmerited favor and grace for a fresh start with You at my side. Your saving grace towards me is truly Your favor shining upon me. Thank You.

And for others, Jesus is your Savior, but you are struggling with life. It seems like the enemy is blocking God’s blessings in your life. If this is you, let’s pray this simple prayer together.

Father God, in the precious name of Your Son, Jesus I reach out to You, and by faith I command this spiritual block to fall away. And I thank You for the manifestation of Your grace in my life. When they see me, they see You, they sense Your goodness, and I receive the job offer, the promotion, the raise in pay not because of me, but because Your favor rests upon me. And this favor calls the blessings to shower on me. I declare that I am blessed and highly favored. Amen.
