Diligence Is Rewarded

October 14, 2016May 4, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, faith, testimonies

Scripture Reading: “But 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 diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6

I was teaching the Word to the Maasai people in the Serengeti Plains. After ministering in a particular village, we were invited by one of the elders to eat at their home. The other ladies and I were sitting on a log outside and chatting about how the day went. When I looked up the elder of this village, Noah was walking towards me with a tray in His hand. On the tray was a ceramic cup filled with hot water and a small can of hot chocolate mix. And he served me a cup of hot chocolate.

Everyone was amazed by this gesture. In this region of the world, women are not served, but serve men. And then I was to find out later, that our brethren were trying to guess which one told Noah how much I enjoyed sipping a cup of hot chocolate. When they realized that no one told him they tried to figure out just how this elderly man obtained a can of hot chocolate mix for me, since there were no local stores in the bush.

I do not know how he obtained this chocolate for me, but I know that he made an extra effort to bless me, and he risked his reputation and broke tradition and served me, a woman. And this sweet gesture of kindness witnessed to our brethren that God will go out of His way and reward those who faithfully and diligently seek Him.

Whatever the Lord has asked of you, do it with your whole heart, regardless of the many obstacles you will encounter.

What Would You Ask of God?

October 12, 2016May 3, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, healing, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing, testimonies, the spoken word

If you could ask for whatever you want, what would you ask of God for yourself? Do you know? I find oftentimes, Christians say they want one thing from God, but as I become involved in their situation I discover they really desire another thing.

One time I was asked to minister to a woman of God who was sick and dying. She said she wanted to be healed physically. But as I became closely involved in this woman’s situation, I realized she wanted healing, but it was not her true desire. She was not able to activate her faith to heal because she was not able to focus on the healing promise. The thing she wanted the most was to be free from her alcoholic husband and find a new man to take care of her.

I believe if we are going to activate a Biblical promise then we need to be firm in our belief, and our request needs to be backed by the Word. Also, we need to focus on Jesus, and His ability and will to meet the need.

How can you tell what you really desire from God?

Listen to your thoughts. They are quite revealing. 2 Corinthians 10:5 says, “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.”
Listen to your spoken words. What you speak the most about comes from your heart. Matthew 15:18 puts it this way, “But those things which proceed out of the mouth come from the heart, and they defile a man.“
Observe your actions. Good or bad, your actions will show you where you are activating your faith. James 2:18 explains to us about faith and actions or works, “But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.” Your actions reveal what you actually believe, and where you are activating your faith.

In the Beginning of Your Miracle

October 11, 2016May 3, 2018 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, creative power, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, healing, healing power, Jesus Christ, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” Genesis 1:1

Scripture Reading: Genesis 1

In Genesis 1 we read about the beginning of the creation of the earth, for the preparation of the start of the human race. We also learn in the first verse from this book of beginnings that the key element to the commencement of any miraculous event is God.

Again, in the New Testament in John 1:1-3, the Scriptures confirm that “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made.” Jesus is the Word of God personified the Father’s perfect revelation of Himself in the flesh. And He is present and has an active part in the creation of the earth.

Let’s take and apply the light of this truth to our situation today. In order for the creation of our miracle to begin, we first need to activate Jesus Christ, the miracle worker in our lives now. Let’s pray.

Dear Jesus,

I believe in Your redemptive power that You gave to me through Your blood at Calvary. I recognize the fact that in the beginning of my miracle I need You. And with faith-filled words, I release your miracle working power in my life, so that my miracle can begin.

In Your holy name I pray, amen.

Hope in Times of Crisis

October 9, 2016January 8, 2017 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, faith, testimonies

Our family was preparing to leave Guatemala for two months to travel in the States. It was late in the afternoon and we were running behind schedule.

I was walking home from the store and I saw a sister-in-the-Lord sitting in her car waiting for her children to leave the school building. As busy as I was I heard the Lord speak to my heart to walk over and talk to her. When I reached her car I could see that she was clearly distraught about something. I gave her a hug and asked her what was wrong.

This woman was married to a very famous and successful man in Guatemala, but it was just discovered that he was involved with another woman and would not repent. He immediately lost his prestigious position in the Church, no one in their circle reached out to her and the children. She was overwhelmed by the situation, and felt abandoned. She had no money and the next day she and the children did not have a place to stay. She wanted to leave the country with her children for a time of restoration, but needed time to put things in order. She didn’t know what to do, and she didn’t know where to go for help. I looked at her and invited her to stop by our home to pick up the keys to our house where she and the children could stay rent free for the next two months.

This woman was in a very serious situation, she felt abandoned, afraid, alone, and didn’t have anyone around her to turn to, except for her Savior, Jesus Christ. Psalm 18:6 says, “In my distress I called to the LORD; I cried to my God for help. From his temple he heard my voice; my cry came before him, into his ears.“

I walked down a small detour that was off my planned path for the day and offered this woman a gift of hope. And she knew that despite what life had thrown at her, God had not abandoned her and he was faithful, and cared and met the immediate present needs for her and her children. Hebrews 4:15-16 describes the character of Jesus towards us in times of crisis, “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.”

The Bible says in Proverbs 13:12, “Hope deferred makes the heart sick, but a longing fulfilled is a tree of life.“ I wasn’t able to take away her pain and hurt, but I was able to offer a little hope.

Are you willing to take a detour today from your plans and offer someone in need a little hope?

Do What God Says, Believe

October 3, 2016January 8, 2017 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, divine healing, faith, healing, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

So often, our Lord tells people if they believe a certain thing will happen. But then why do people get upset when they are told they need to believe?

The Old Testament prophet Elisha told Naaman to go and dip seven times in the Jordan River so that he would be healed of leprosy. At first Naaman was furious, but then he did as he was told, and he came up healed of a non curable disease after he obeyed and did what he was told to do. (See 2 Kings 5:1-14).

What is the main requirement for us to be healed? We are told we are to believe. And this request makes many Christians mad. This too, like Naaman is a pride issue. How dare anyone suggest that we might not believe as we ought to. Well, this is the main issue that prevents healing from coming forth, a lack of faith to believe for it.

Let’s get this point straight, just because we believe Jesus is our Savior doesn’t automatically mean we believe Him for healing. Just like we need to be fully convinced that we need a Savior who can forgive us of our sins, we also need to be completely convinced that Jesus is our healer and He is able and wills to heal us too.

Over and over again as we read God’s Word we see the same theme of faith rise up in every situation. Romans 10:9-10 says, “If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes and is justified, and with the mouth one confesses and is saved.” Mark 16:16-18 tells us, “And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Matthew 21:22 declares, “If you believe, you will receive whatever you ask in prayer.” Luke 8:48, Jesus says to the woman with the issue of blood, “And He said to her, “Daughter, be of good cheer; your faith has made you well. Go in peace.” Luke 17:19, Jesus says to the one of the ten lepers that came back to thank Him for his healing, “Arise, go your way. Your faith has made you well.” Again and again, we read it is our faith, our belief that brings forth the miraculous.

So, let us not be offended when the Spirit of the Lord tells us that we need to have faith, or believe again.

Whose Report Will You Choose to Believe?

October 2, 2016January 8, 2017 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, divine healing, faith, healing power, Power of the Holy Spirit, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

When faced with difficulties whose report will you choose to believe? Will you choose to believe the human report that states there is no hope when My word declares, “Fear thou not; for I [am] with thee: be not dismayed; for I [am] thy God: I will strengthen thee; yea, I will help thee; yea, I will uphold thee with the right hand of my righteousness.” Isaiah 41:10. Will you continue to degrade yourself with negative thoughts when you can see in Psalm 139: 17-18, “How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand; When I awake, I am still with You.” Do you fear being alone when I impart my intentions concerning this matter to you, “Be strong and of good courage, do not fear nor be afraid of them; for the Lord your God, He is the One who goes with you. He will not leave you nor forsake you.” Deuteronomy 31:6. Will you trust My promise when I say, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.” Mark 19:26. Or will you continue to lean on your own understanding when I tell you not too. See Proverbs 3:5-6.

Life is filled with many choices, You can choose to trust or doubt Me. I give you the freedom to do so. But please remember, “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.“ Isaiah 55:8. Do not confuse My ways with the enemy’s nature, “I make it plain when I say in John 10:10, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.“ And lastly, “I have loved you with an everlasting love; I have drawn you with unfailing kindness.” Jeremiah 31:3.

Church Leaders Need to Believe

September 29, 2016January 8, 2017 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christianity, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, healing, healing power, Holy Spirit, Power of the Holy Spirit, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

You would be surprised how many Churches I have been to where I find that the leadership does not believe in the healing power of the Lord as they ought to. I find this disheartening. How can they teach their congregations to believe in God’s promises if they themselves do not?

James 5:14-16 tells us, “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Confess your trespasses to one another, and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.”

The people are to call for the elders so they can pray a prayer of faith over them and be healed. But more-times-then-not, the elders do not believe in healing for themselves, let alone for others. They have not taught themselves what the Word of God says concerning healing, the pastors are not teaching healing from the pulpits like they use to, and they don’t bother to bring in the teachers or healing evangelists to equip the people in God’s healing power, and oftentimes, the people are not encouraged to study the Word for themselves about healing. And therefore, many are sick and dying before their appointed time.

How can this situation be ratified?

There is godly criteria for choosing Church leadership. Let’s look at what it says in Acts 6:1-4 about finding the right people to fill the positions to wait on the people. “Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was multiplying, there arose a complaint against the Hebrews by the Hellenists, because their widows were neglected in the daily distribution. Then the twelve summoned the multitude of the disciples and said, “It is not desirable that we should leave the word of God and serve tables. Therefore, brethren, seek out from among you seven men of good reputation, full of the Holy Spirit and wisdom, whom we may appoint over this business; but we will give ourselves continually to prayer and to the ministry of the word.”

It was not God’s intent that the leaders do all the work of the ministry. They were to dedicate themselves to continual prayer and ministry of the word. Oftentimes, you will find that Church leadership nowadays spend very little time in either. Two common reasons for this weakness are:

The established Church has become all business and no ministry.
Church leadership is elected for carnal reasons, rather then spiritual ones.

So, when the sick ask the elders of the Church to minister healing over them they are not spiritually equipped to do so, because they lack the faith to believe for healing.

As with the early Church it was so important that the ministry of helps was to meet a high standard of faith, how much more the elders should today? The 7 men they chose were to fulfill the following:

They were to have a good reputation.
Be full of the Holy Spirit.
And be full of wisdom.

Too few Churches even consider the spiritual side when choosing people to serve the body of Christ, and the people suffer because of this. The elders are suppose to be able to pray a prayer of faith over the sick with healing results, but how can they do this when they themselves don’t believe.

The Church needs to revamp the way they select elders.

They need to go back to the biblical basics and elect according to God’s guidelines.
If their present leadership does not believe as they should they need to train them in, bring in the teachers and healing evangelists and equip their leadership to believe.
If the leadership is unteachable, refuses to comply with the list of 3 spiritual requirements above, then they need to be replaced by others that will comply.

Church leadership, for the glory of our Lord, and for the well-being of the people need to believe in the healing power of the Lord.

Are We to Bear a Cross of Sickness?

September 28, 2016January 8, 2017 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, creative power, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, healing, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing

Many people believe God has given them a “cross of infirmity or sickness” to bear. But is this kind of belief biblical? We read in the book of Mark about taking up a cross. Let’s read this portion of Scripture and see what it says.

“When He had called the people to Himself, with His disciples also, He said to them, “Whoever desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow Me. For whoever desires to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for My sake and the gospel’s will save it.” Mark 8:34-35.

The definition of the phrase “take up his cross” in this Scripture is not referring to bearing sickness and disease in our physical bodies, but rather to self-denial of fleshly wants and desires in exchange for His will and plan for our lives.

This belief that God gives us a cross of infirmity to bear is a false doctrine. And it is a dangerous one too. It turns people away from believing in Him as Lord and Savior. He does not put sickness and disease in our bodies for any reason, especially not to teach us patience and endurance. Nor does He cause us to become sick so we can land in the hospital and testify of His glory to the other patients and to the medical staff. There is no glory in sickness, and it is a terrible witness to say this to people. To put it plainly, this type of belief is based upon our works to earn acceptance, rewards, salvation from our God. It devalues the plan of atonement that Jesus willing suffered to redeem us.

It certainly is true that when someone is very ill and facing death that they will cross-examine their lives and discover what is and is not important, and they start to get their lives in order. And in these situations people will start to talk to others about things most important to their hearts. But the fact remains the same: Goes does not put sickness and disease in our bodies. According to the Word of God, sickness is part of the curse, and God is not the source of the curse, but the solution for it.

Jesus Christ bore all sin, sickness and disease upon His own body so that we could be free form it while on this earth. Isaiah 53:4-5 shares with us what Jesus suffered so we could be forgiven and healed, “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.” Salvation, which includes healing is God’s free gift to us. It is not won by works, good deeds, or by acts of suffering. Rather, deliverance and healing, like salvation are acquired by faith in Him alone.

Why the Enemy Tries to Steal Healing

September 27, 2016January 8, 2017 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christianity, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, fear, healing, healing power, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing, the spoken word

It’s true the enemy, the devil will try to steal your healing if he can.In John 10:10a, Jesus has this to say this about him, “The thief does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy.” Sometimes when people seem to lose their healings, it is not necessarily because of sin issues in their lives, but because satan is trying to steal their healing. He is trying to discredit their testimony. And he can if you let him.

He will go wholeheartedly after those who have been healed. Why? Because he fears the power of their living testimony. He knows that a shared healing testimony is a supernatural weapon against him and his darkness. He is fully aware of the lost souls at stake. He doesn’t want to lose those lost souls to Jesus. So, he tries to silence those who obtain their healing with weapons of taunting fear and doubt. He even puts physical symptoms back on those who were healed to see if they will bow to him and accept the sickness or disease back into their body. We must not allow him to do this to us.

In John 12:10-11, we read how after Lazarus was miraculously raised from the dead, satan moved through the chief priests to try and have him put to death because he feared his living testimony. The news of Lazarus being raised from the dead was spreading like wildfire, and many people were turning to Jesus because of it. The devil wanted to snuff out the flames.

And he is no different today, then he was back then. He is afraid of the impact that your living testimony will have on his kingdom of darkness. But we do not need to fear his attacks. According to 1 John 4:4 we have the Greater One living within us. And after we have received our healings we do not need to receive his lying symptoms back into our body.

How do you keep your healing?

According to Revelation 12:11, we overcome the enemy by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of our testimony. To keep our healing we need to testify of it, tell people about how the Lord healed us. This gives strength to the healing, and weakens the power of the enemy over us.
We also need to live like we are healed. James 2:14-26 teaches us that faith without works is dead. And in the case of healing, we need to live like we are healed.
The last, but not least point that I want to share in regards to keeping your healing, we need to overcome fear. The Bible is clear the thing we fear the most will come upon us, see Job 3:25. In my experience in the healing ministry, I have seen over and over again, that a spirit of fear precedes the spirit of death. Subdue fear, cast it far from you and live.

Change Satan’s Negative To God’s Positive

September 26, 2016January 8, 2017 Becky Dvorak bible, Charismatic, Christian Living, Christianity, creative power, divine healing, Divine Healings and Miracles, faith, fear, healing, healing power, Power of the Holy Spirit, Supernatural, Supernatural Healing, the spoken word

When the enemy says you can’t, profess that you can do all things through Christ who strengthens you. When your mind thinks this is impossible, verbalize the truth that with God all things are possible. And if the medical report reveals death, with faith insist I will not die, but live, and declare the works of the Lord. (Phil. 4:13, Matt. 19:26, PS. 118:17).

You see, our enemy, satan and even human knowledge and reasoning is bent on the negative against the wisdom and promise of God. When I hear the enemy whisper negative thoughts filled with fear and failure I know he’s the one who is afraid of the success of My God in my life. And even negative human knowledge and reasoning goes against the grain of my spirit. When I hear it its like someone scratching their fingernails down a chalkboard. It make me cringe, and from deep within me faith arises and rejects the negative lies, and declares the truth of God’s Word that produces positive changes into every situation.

What you may not have understood before is that as child of the King you possess supernatural power to change the negative report or situation into a positive witness that glorifies the Lord Jesus Christ.

What’s the first step to changing the devil’s negative into God’s positive? Use the power of the spoken word and start to speak life into death, bold success in place of fearful failure, instead of confessing that the situation is impossible, broadcast with words of faith, “I am possible!”

This is the first step to transform satan’s negative lie into Jesus’ positive promise.
