Why the Enemy Tries to Steal Healing

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?

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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

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.

Prophetic Warning: Before It’s Too Late

Dear Friends,

The following is a Word from the Lord given to me  9 / 22/ 2016 at 11:07 P.M. in Guatemala.

Do not fret, do not fear, for your redemption draws near.

The Helper is here, to help you steer clear of the enemy’s fear.

My holy angels have got you covered from the rear.

And My Word lights the pathway for this coming year.

 

Hate is the enemy’s bait,

And it opens hell’s gate at an accelerated rate.

And its fate won’t wait,

If you ate the fruit of the forbidden date.

 

I send My warning from above,

Stay under My covering of Love.

And the mighty protection of the Dove,

As the enemy will begin to push and shove.

 

He will act out the part of the aggressor,

Because He covets the place of the Successor.

He will try to reteach, like a professor,

But remember his ways are of the lesser.

 

My children need to prepare and get ready,

In order for their faith to remain steady.

The storm they are steering into is quite heavy,

Pray, as the branches are no longer leavy.

 

As we are now in the end of time,

And the fruit long since fell from the Vine.

And its seed is no longer Mine,

And the state of this earth is not fine.

 

Some think dominion is just a matter of mere opinion,

They are in error, as it is the way of My Kingdom.

Without it they miss their pinion,

And the enemy has stolen their dominion.

 

Take it back, and do not lack,

Overturn the hack.

Refill your spiritual sack,

And give that old enemy a whack.

 

I am coming soon,

The way of the wicked is doom.

My way is like a sweet perfume,

Open your mouth and declare a new tune.

 

Many of My people turned selfish and self-centered,

And because of this place they entered,

They are no longer able to be mentored.

They aligned themselves with the great tempter,

And Hell’s gate they will enter.

 

In the midst of this great battle,

Stay calm, and don’t be addled.

For the enemy will be upon the saddle,

As the earth  begins to rattle.

 

Do not grumble and mumble,

But be humble.

If you would please,

Get down upon your knees.

The heavens will rumble,

And you will see the enemy stumble.

And each of his fumbles,

Will be because you remain humble.

 

As we prepare to gather within Heaven’s gate,

And we sense the weight of the eternal fate,

Relate to those who now negate,

Before the time is too late.

Chronic Headaches Healed by Faith

On September 16, 2016, Ju Zhimomi from Nagaland, India sends the following prayer request, “I get sudden and severe unbearable headache from time to time. Please pray for me.”

I respond on September 19, 2016, “In Jesus’ name, lay your hand upon your spine. Right now, I command your spine to realign from the top of the spine down to the tip of the tail bone. I command damaged brain cells to be gone and new healthy brain cells to be recreated in Jesus’ name. We command the source of this to be healed and made whole. I renounce an accursed spirit of infirmities over you. You be free from headaches in Jesus’ name, amen.”

Ju quickly responds, “Amen, I receive healing in Jesus mighty name Amen.”

I message back, “Now, put your faith into action.

Ju writes back, “I am healed in Jesus mighty name Amen. Thank you for your prayers support. I believe that when a God fearing person pray for me, I will be healed, claiming it as written in the book of James.”

On September 22, 2016, Ju sends me the following message, “Thank you for your prayer support. I am healed in Jesus mighty name. I felt great today. God bless you and use you mightily for years to come.”

What Faith Steps Did Ju Take to Be Healed?

  1. She acknowledged Jesus as her healer.
  2. She reached out and made her request known for healing.
  3. She received by faith.
  4. Her healing then manifested.
  5. She was thankful for her healing.
  6. And she testified to others openly that she was healed in Jesus’ name.

If, you are suffering head pain from chronic headaches, you can be free today, just as Ju is.

What’s Paul’s Thorn In the Flesh?

“Becky, I’ve heard some Christians say that they are not healed, because “God has them right where he wants them.” One lady said that the Lord told her that she is to study and write about the end-times, and that she is to remain in pain with various problems, This belief that He has her right where He wants her goes against all that you seem to say in your teachings, and against Scripture. The Apostle Paul may be the only example that I can think of, but his problem was not necessarily a physical or mental issue. Can you please clarify this for me and other readers? Gail.”

Gail, this is a good topic of discussion, and one that is often misunderstood in the Christian Church. Let’s read this portion of Scripture found in 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.And lest I should be exalted above measure by the abundance of the revelations, a thorn in the flesh was given to me, a messenger of Satan to buffet me, lest I be exalted above measure.  Concerning this thing I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might depart from me.  And He said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for My strength is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  Therefore I take pleasure in infirmities, in reproaches, in needs, in persecutions, in distresses, for Christ’s sake. For when I am weak, then I am strong.

This phrase, “thorn in the flesh” is never used to represent sickness and disease. It always tells us exactly what it is in the context of the verse. In the passage above, Paul’s thorn in the flesh was a messenger of satan, a demonic spirit sent to buffet him. Buffet means “one attack after another”.

References to a thorn in the flesh, a thorn in the side, or thorns or irritants in the eye occur in several other places in Scripture as well. In each place, the passage makes clear who or what is being referred to. In Numbers 33:55, it is “the inhabitants of Canaan”; in Joshua 23:13, “the nations of their enemies”; and in 2 Samuel 23:6, “the sons of rebellion”. All of these are physical enemies, or in the case of 2 Corinthians 12, spiritual enemies. What they are not referring to is illness in any form.

Many people believe that God has given them a thorn in the flesh–by which they mean a sickness or disease intended to teach them patience and endurance and to draw them closer to God by the means of suffering. This is a works mentality, and hasn’t anything to do with the grace, the redemptive workings of Christ to redeem us from the curse. It is also a lie from satan. And this type of false belief causes these people and their loved ones to turn away from God. They blame Him for their suffering, and see Him as being cruel and unloving. And they do not want to follow after Him and His ways. And yet, we can see by viewing the above Scriptures, that the phrase a thorn in the flesh never was used in Scripture to refer to sickness and disease.

Is a Confession of Faith a Lie?

There is great confusion among believers in Christ as to whether or not a confession of faith is a lie. The ninth commandment tells us we are not to lie. Proverbs 12:22 plainly says. “Lying lips are an abomination to the Lord, but those who act faithfully are his delight.” And a lying tongue is listed as one of the 7 sins God hates the most. “There are six things the Lord hates, seven that are detestable to him: haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked schemes, feet that are quick to rush into evil, a false witness who pours out lies and a man who stirs up dissension among brothers” (Proverbs 6:16-19). From these 3 verses alone we can gather that lying is a serious sin, and God hates it, and we are to speak the truth.

But then we read verses such as Romans 4:17 that God says, “(as it is written, “I have made you a father of many nations”) in the presence of Him whom he believed—God, who gives life to the dead and calls those things which do not exist as though they did;” Proverbs 18:21 clearly teaches us,Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.Proverbs 12:18 reveals right type of words bring forth healing, “There is one whose rash words are like sword thrusts, but the tongue of the wise brings healing.”

This sets my mind to thinking that there is a huge spiritual difference in the way in which words are being spoken. Some say it is a lie to say, “By His stripes I am healed”, (Isa. 53:5) when they still have physical symptoms of sickness upon them. But, with the story of Abram, later changed to Abraham, he was to call those things that are not as though they already were. No longer was he to confess that he was fatherless with his barren wife, Sari, later changed to Sarah.

The words that one speaks are so vital, that God changes Abram’s name to Abraham. So now, every time he introduces himself, “Hi, I’m Abraham.” He is actually declaring to everyone he meets, “Hi, I’m the father of many nations.” Now, from a carnal perspective that would be telling a lie. His wife was barren. They were elderly. He had one son with his wife’s servant, Hagar. One son, with another woman other than his wife still does not make him a father of many nations.

And God also changed Sari’s name to Sarah, so she would start to declare that she would give birth to nations, kings, prominent people would come from her womb. This too with natural reasoning would be consider a lie. She didn’t even have one child, let alone be the mother of  nations and kings.

James 3: 1-11 warns about the power of the tongue, “My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgment. For we all stumble in many things. If anyone does not stumble in word, he is a perfect man, able also to bridle the whole body.  Indeed, we put bits in horses’ mouths that they may obey us, and we turn their whole body. Look also at ships: although they are so large and are driven by fierce winds, they are turned by a very small rudder wherever the pilot desires. Even so the tongue is a little member and boasts great things.

See how great a forest a little fire kindles!  And the tongue is a fire, a world of iniquity. The tongue is so set among our members that it defiles the whole body, and sets on fire the course of nature; and it is set on fire by hell. For every kind of beast and bird, of reptile and creature of the sea, is tamed and has been tamed by mankind. But no man can tame the tongue. It is an unruly evil, full of deadly poison. With it we bless our God and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in the similitude of God.  Out of the same mouth proceed blessing and cursing. My brethren, these things ought not to be so.  Does a spring send forth fresh water and bitter from the same opening”

The power of the tongue either blesses or curses, creates or destroys ourselves, others, hopes, dreams, and future plans. So, what is a confession of faith for a healing or a miracle? Is it an arrogant lie? Is it a form of manipulation we use against God to try to get our way? No, it isn’t any of these explanations. What it is then?

A confession of faith for a healing or miracle is faith talk. It’s God’s form of speech. It’s supernatural vocabulary that produces what it declares. And it’s based on faith, and comes from the heart, it believes what it is saying. And I’ll take this deeper, and make it clearer. When we speak a confession of faith for a healing or miracle we are actually prophesying into the situation.

We read of this in Genesis 1: 3a, “And God said, Let there be light.” Another example of this is found in  Ezekiel 37:4, “Again he said unto me, Prophesy to these bones, and say unto them, O you dry bones, hear the word of the LORD.” Jesus prophesies in John 11:43, “And when He thus had spoken, He cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.

What happened when God prophesied in Genesis 1:3? Light manifested. And this is what happened when Ezekiel prophesied to the dry bones, So I prophesied as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, there was a noise, and suddenly a rattling; and the bones came together, bone to bone. Indeed, as I looked, the sinews and the flesh came upon them, and the skin covered them over; but there was no breath in them.” (Ezekiel. 37:7-8).  And when Jesus prophesied with a loud voice over Lazarus’ dead body it came back to life and walked out from the tomb.

We are not speaking out a lie when we declare a confession of faith for a healing or a miracle. We are activating the gift of prophesy. And according to 1 Corinthians 14:3, the purpose of prophesy is, But he who prophesies speaks edification and exhortation and comfort to men.

Today, make a quality decision that you will use the power of your words wisely, bless not curse yourself and others, create, build up, not destroy your body in the name of Jesus, and declare those things that are not as though they already are, “In Jesus’ name, I am healed.”

A Word of Restitution

While I was being introduced to a governor and his vice governor I heard the Spirit of the Lord speak into my ear a word for them. It was, “Restitution”. They both held back tears as I spoke this word and the others that flowed with them. God heard their petitions, and wanted them to know that He was moving on their behalf.

Restitution is the act of restoring to the rightful owner something, such as property or rights that have been taken away, lost, or surrendered.

Our enemy, satan, the thief who comes to steal, to kill and to destroy is working overtime against the body of Christ. (See John 10:10a.) Many of you reading this have received great blows from him recently. But regardless of his wicked schemes against you, the Lord wants to give you the following word of encouragement.

“The battle belongs to Me. I will not leave thee, nor forsake thee. Those precious gems that have been stolen from thee, will be restored. The enemy will bow on bended knee in shame before Me and thee, and he will give back unharmed and undamaged promises, visions, ministries, properties and rights that I have given to thee.

I have released troops of warring angels on your behalf. The reinforcements have already arrived on the front line of these battles. Your hour of restitution is at hand, and  it is being delivered by My righteous right hand.

Now is not the time for you to lay down your weapons in defeat. No, now is the time to stand to your feet. Put your armor back on. Pick up your shield of faith, boldly raise it up as I did My Son at Calvary. His blood is your banner of victory. Lift up His banner with your voice, and boldly declare your victory before the throne of My grace.

Many of you will receive your restitution within 3 days of reading this word , just as My Son restored you back to Me. Others will see the process of restitution begin within 3 days. I have spoken, and I have promised. Come before Me on bended knee and proclaim your victory in Me.” Thus says the Lord of Hosts.

Signs and Wonders Win the Lost

Jesus promises to equip us with signs and wonders. “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.” After He rises from the dead He commands them in Acts 1:8, “But you shall receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you: you shall be witnesses to Me in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea and Samaria, and to the end of the earth.” Peter brings clarity to who this gift of the Holy Spirit is for in Acts 2:39: “For the promise is to you and to your children, and to all who are afar off, as many as the Lord our God will call.” The Word of God is clear: He gives to us the power of His Spirit to work miracles to win the lost.

The Holy Spirit is intentionally seeking people (see 2 Chron. 16:9a) like ourselves through whom can flow a display of His mighty, supernatural wonders to the world, so that they may know that Jesus Christ is Lord. Knowing this, we ought to make ourselves highly visible to the Holy Spirit and ask Him to move through us with miraculous signs and wonders for His glory.

He realizes the limits in our natural strength, but He never intends for us to do His bidding in our own strength. In fact, He says in Zechariah 4:6, “Not by might nor by power, but by My Spirit.” We read in Luke 5: 1-11 how Jesus teaches Simon this very lesson. In the New American Standard Bible, Jesus says to Simon in verse 4, “Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.” And in verse 5 we see how Simon replies to the Lord’s bidding:”Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but I will do as You say and let down the nets.” By the power of their natural strength their nets are empty. But this time Jesus goes with them and He instructs them to go out into the deep waters and cast their nets.

In this portion of Scriptures Jesus teaches us how to effectively win the lost. First, He tells us to try it again. Let’s go out into the world again. And this time with Him onboard we are to launch out into the deep things of the Spirit, cast our spiritual nets and activate the supernatural power of His Spirit. When we evangelize the lost His way, according to the great commission, we will supernaturally draw in an abundant catch. Our nets will be so full that they will bulge and be on the brink of breaking with souls for Jesus. Isaiah 60:5 says that the abundance of the sea will be turned to us. This is the inheritance that we are promised in Psalm 2:8, the Nations.

Time and time again, I have seen the eternal results of supernatural signs and wonders; I have seen how just one person’s miracle can win countless others to the Lord Jesus Christ. I ministered divine healing to a young boy in Tanzania who could not walk, and he was miraculously delivered and healed. Because of this amazing wonder the people in his village and surrounding villages came to know Jesus as their Lord and Savior. They said they saw the finger of God. Moving in the power of the Holy Spirit is the smart way to evangelize. And apparently from the point of the Scriptures, it is God’s way.

The Progression of a Healing

One of my readers, Jean writes and sends me the following prayer request. I believe this will encourage you and help you to believe for your healing and miracle.
 

“Dear Becky, I would very much appreciate your prayers for healing for my gum disease and bone loss, and lower teeth. I have an appointment on Friday at 2:30 with my dentist. I don’t have the money for false teeth, I am 67 years old, and I don’t want false teeth. I am totally by myself and have no one to help me except the Lord. Thank you for your prayers, Jean”

I respond. (Wednesday, September 14, 2016 10:39 P.M.).

“Dear Jean, I join my faith with your faith for this situation. Right now, I renounce gum disease in your mouth. I release the healing power of the Holy Spirit to flow into your jaws, gums and teeth. I command all pain, swelling, pressure and head and jaw aches to cease in Jesus’ name. I speak into the roots of your teeth to be healed from the inside to the outside of your teeth, your gums and jaws to be healed from the inside to the outside as well. I declare that you are healed. Put your faith into action, open and close your jaws… Be healed in Jesus’ name, amen.”

 Jean’s response back to me. (Thursday, September 15, 2016 8:52 A.M.).
 
 

“Dear Becky, I just checked my email now. Thank you so much! Praise God!! All is well. Thank you for standing with me on this!! God bless you for this, Becky. Thank you, thank you!!! Jean”

I write back to Jean straight away. “Please share your healing testimony with me.”
 
 
Later on this morning, Jean writes back. (September 15, 2016 at 11:09 A.M.)
 
“Yes, I will!  Can tell you now there is no more pain or tenderness around the “offending” tooth on lower left!!  No tenderness when I press on the gum portion where it was!  PRAISE GOD!!  Yesterday before writing you, I canceled the dental appointment for Friday at 2:30 this week CT, telling them I’d reschedule.  (I just felt like I should, then a couple of hours later felt I should ask you for prayer.) I will write and let you know what the dentist says. Next Thursday at 3:00 P.M.. on 9/22 is the appointment.  The Lord is the BEST dentist, and I thank the Lord for sending you to pray.  All’s well.
 
This came from smoking, which we know where that comes from.  Jesus delivered me completely from smoking December 31, 2014 when I got very sick with pneumonia, and was coughing up blood, here alone in my house. I haven’t wanted another cigarette since then, and I do not have withdrawals, nothing.  I took care of my teeth, I ‘t drink or do drugs at all, but I did smoke.  There is a price to pay for sin.  Sometimes even after one quits it.  But now I just want to be right with Him no matter what.  Smoking was very selfish of me, and it truly grieved the Holy Spirit, and I’m so sorry for that.  When He let me see how much (in a very gentle way) it broke my heart.  Am so sorry for all those years of selfishness and going my own way.  I will continue loving him no matter what.
 
Thanks so much for your post on faith this morning.  I read it several times.  I am going to read it everyday.  I have been going through continual “stuff” for five years now, ever since my mom died, one thing after another, bizarre things beyond my control, lots of stress, sorrows, etc.  But it always works out well.
 
 I am so glad He was there through it all for you and yours! Thank you so much for your post this morning. Thank you for praying for me too.”
 
Take note of a few faith principles that are activated during this healing process.
1. Jean repents of sin and is delivered from addiction. Repent, then, and turn to God, so that your sins may be wiped out, that times of refreshing may come from the Lord.” Acts 3:19.
2. She confesses her sin to another believer.Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. James 5:16.
3. She doesn’t blame God for this attack, but is mature in faith and realizes that there are consequences to bad behaviors. “For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord” Romans 6:23.
4. Just as she goes to God for forgiveness, she now turns to Him for healing too. “When Jesus heard it, He said to them, “Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick. I did not come to call the righteous, but sinners, to repentance.” Mark 2:17.
5. She has been feeding her faith with the healing word. So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. Romans 10:17.
6. She puts her faith into action reaches out and requests ministry for healing. Even so faith, if it hath not works, is dead, being alone. James 2:17.
7. I respond with faith-filled words. Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. Proverbs 18:21.
8. She again activates her faith and does something she could not do before without pain, she opens and closes her mouth, and bites down on her jaw. “Then he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” So he stretched it out and it was completely restored, just as sound as the other.” Matthew 12:13.
9. She gives thanks to God for her healing. “When one of them saw that he was healed, he came back. He praised God in a loud voice. He threw himself at Jesus’ feet and thanked Him.” Luke 17:15.
10. She testifies of the manifested healing power in her life.And they overcame him by the blood of the Lamb, and by the word of their testimony; and they loved not their lives unto the death. Revelation 12:11.
Be encouraged by this delightful testimony, and trust God for your healing too.

What Is the Gift of Faith?

The Gift of Faith is a special kind of faith that is given as the Holy Spirit wills or desires in order for an individual to receive a miracle from God. We’ve all been given a measure of faith to use in our everyday lives (see Rom. 12:3), but the Gift of Faith is an extraordinary, supernatural type of faith.

Let’s look at a biblical example. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego were given the Gift of Faith. Though they were thrown into the fiery furnace they did not burn to death, and they did not even have the smell of smoke on them (see Dan. 3). It took a divine gift of the Holy Spirit, a gift of supernatural and extraordinary faith, to overcome the fear of death and the spirit of death in order to overcome this deadly situation. Even the guards outside of the fiery furnace died instantly from the heat of the flames, but not Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego. They first put their natural faith in God, and then they turned the situation over to Him. Thus they were given a Gift of Faith to overcome death. Even those outside the fiery furnace could see from a distance that Jesus Christ was with them. One truth that I pray will resound in my writings is that God honors faith.

Another example of the Gift of Faith in operation is from my own life. After our son, Marcos was raised from the dead and while we were battling one impossible situation after another, our faith remained unshakable. We could look death in the eye everyday and not be moved. This was a special kind of faith that the Holy Spirit gave to us so that we could receive our series of miracles from God for Marcos. Just like Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego in the beginning of the battle we exercised our everyday faith in Jesus Christ at first. God honored our faith, and at some point in time, we were given a supernatural kind of faith to do what we did. Everyone who was looking from the outside of our fiery furnace could see that Jesus was walking with us in the midst of the flames.

And I encourage you with this teaching and testimony today, that regardless of the situation you face activate your natural everyday faith, and continue to exercise your faith in the redemptive power of the blood of Christ until the Holy Spirit releases the supernatural Gift of Faith.
