SET THE CAPTIVES FREE!

People can be captive to all sorts of circumstances, often situations beyond their control , such as sickness, disease, blindness, deafness, paralysis, and more . Other times, such as addictions are brought upon by their own bad decisions in life. God didn’t bind people to these difficulties, nor does He desire they stay bound to these prisons. But what can people do about this? And do you have a part to play in setting the captives free? 

Jesus said of Himself in Luke 4:18 “He has sent Me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to set the oppressed free.” Why could He do these things? Because the Spirit of the Lord was upon Him and He was anointed.

And because of the redemptive work of Christ, we too have this anointing to set the captives free. In 1 John 4:17 it says concerning us “In this world we are like Jesus.” He prophesies in Acts 1:8 to all His disciples, including us “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.” And He further declares in Mark 16: 17-18 “And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; they will pick up snakes with their hands; and when they drink deadly poison, it will not hurt them at all; they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well.” Our recreated spirits have God’s design to set the captives free!

This beautiful Guatemalan woman was oppressed and imprisoned within her own body. She had been paralyzed since infancy. She never stood on her own, and was bound to a wheelchair. She believed there was no hope for her.

But when she was 28 years of age, someone dared to ask her what she wanted.  Her reply, “I want to walk!”

I then released the healing power of the Holy Spirit to flow into her spinal column. Immediately, she felt a soothing heat move slowly down her spine. I encouraged her to put her faith into action and do something she could not do before. She stood up from her wheelchair. She felt the ground beneath her feet for the first time, and started to take her first steps.

Jesus gave to us the supernatural power of the Holy Spirit to set the captives free. Will you?

A Formula for a Miracle

Did you realize that there is an actual formula for receiving a miracle? It is not based upon human understanding, but upon the supernatural power of faith in God Almighty.

My husband and I were working with a group of Bible students. The students were ministering in a church service.

A Guatemalan man with his niece stepped forward for prayer. The man shared the situation. His niece suffered from a lack of oxygen during birth, and because of it she could not stand and walk on her own.

The student released the presence of the Holy Spirit over her, but nothing happened. I saw that we were about to lose this girl’s healing, so I looked at the student and gently said, “Let me teach you.”

I looked the man in the eye and said to him, “Let go of her.” And I stepped back and held my hands out to the girl to come to me. He released his faith and let her go, and she walked to me. As soon as she grabbed my hands, I released her from my grip and continued to step backwards and she continued to step forwards.

We walked around the front of the church, in between the crowd of people that came for prayer, and then I led her back to her uncle.

Her uncle was amazed and this young 12 year old girl was filled with joy.

I teach in my book, “Dare to Believe” that the first thing we need to create a miracle is the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit, but then we need to do as Jesus does and put faith into action.

His Presence + Faith in Action = MIRACLE.

NO WEAPON SHALL PROSPER

The Word says in Isaiah 54:17, that no weapon formed against us shall prosper. I was taught to pray this as a young Christian over 30 years ago, and I have prayed this every day since then. This promise in God’s Word has protected my family from many attacks.

I was reminded of this promise recently. This past Christmas, early in the morning our son called us. I thought he was calling to wish us a Merry Christmas, but this was not the case. He called to inform us that he had just rolled the van, but he was alright. In fact, he just had a scrapped hand. The police were with him and more help was on the way.

I found myself thanking the Lord throughout the day for His promise of protection. And these words played over and over within my spirit, “No weapon formed against us shall prosper”.

Start to prophesy God’s protection over you and your family, “No weapon that is formed against you will prosper; and every tongue that accuses you in judgment you will condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,” declares the LORD. (NASB)

A WAVE OF HEALING

As I am praying and fasting I have a great sense of expectancy within my spirit. A wave of healing is about to hit the Western World like never before. No longer will people say, “Why doesn’t divine healing manifest in the United States and other parts of the Western World?” A wave of divine healing is coming. Expect to get wet!

But along with this wave will be a strong undertow of unbelief that will try to pull you away. Don’t allow satan the liberty to pull you under. Rise to the top and believe.

This wave will be different than before. It won’t be in isolated locations with pockets of people receiving. This wave will manifest in all places, and to all people.

Ministers of Healing are rising to the top of this wave, and not only will they minister healing, but they will equip the Body of Christ how to ride this wave.

The blind will see, the deaf will hear, the mute will speak, the paralytics will walk, incurable diseases will be healed and the dead will rise. Unusual types of miracles are in this wave, and it is coming to the Western World.

Don’t be afraid of the water. It’s what you have been waiting for. The power in this wave will overtake and heal all that are willing to step in and get wet.

Get ready, a wave of healing is on the way.

He Gives You Your Desires

It’s Christmas and God wants to give you the desires of your heart.  God isn’t stingy like Scrooge, withholding your needs. He doesn’t have a grumpy disposition like the Grinch, who is trying to find a way to steal your joy.  He is good and is both able and willing to bless you with good gifts. It says in the Amplified Bible in Ephesians 3:20, “Now to Him Who, by (in consequence of) the [action of His] power that is at work within us, is able to[carry out His purpose and] do superabundantly, far over and above all that we [dare] ask or think [infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams]”

These words, superabundantly, far over, and above are referring to His generosity towards us. But it says that all that we dare ask or think, infinitely beyond our highest prayers, desires, thoughts, hopes, or dreams are brought about by the power that is at work within us. What is this power that is working within us that activates his generosity towards us? It is the power of true faith.

Faith is trust, and this trust is going beyond just basic needs but being confident that He is willing to give you the desires of your heart.  1John 5:14-15 says, “Now this is the confidence that we have in Him, that if we ask anything according to His will, He hears us. And if we know that He hears us, whatever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we have asked of Him.”

Let me share a testimony how God gave me my heart’s desire.

We are missionaries living in Guatemala. We have 4 energetic young boys ages 9, 10, 11, and 12 years old. We live in a small pueblo with a yard that is about 15’ x 70’ in size. My heart’s desire is that our boys have a bigger yard with space to run and play and just be the active boys that they are.

I boldly asked God to give me my heart’s desire.  He did! In a few days, we are moving to a new home that is built in the midst of a 100 acre forest. This is, superabundantly, far over, above and 100 times bigger than my dream.

There is an actual gift for you from God with your heart’s desire. Ask in faith, dare to believe, and you will receive.

A Gift of Reconciliation

A gift of reconciliation wrapped with unconditional love, tied with a beautiful white bow of forgiveness may be the perfect gift given to the undeserving one this Christmas.

Perhaps, the receiver will be slow to open this most precious gift, but the giver needs to dare to believe and offer the gift.

And once the gift is ready to give, the giver needs to cut all ties of conditions so that the gift can be free to give to receive.

We are the receivers of such a gift, the unconditional love of the Father. Its gift wrap is flowing with crimson, adorning a bow of forgiveness and is waiting under His tree to freely receive.

Why Difficult to Receive Healing?

Liz asks, “Why do you think it is hard for Christians to receive healing? It seems most are already resigned to go the medical route because God uses doctors.” Liz this is a great question, and there is an answer.

I believe that it has been difficult for Christians, especially in the Western World, to receive healing because they have not been taught about faith for healing on a consistent basis.

People are willing to wait 7 to 10 days for an antibiotic to heal their bodies, because they have been taught for many years that if they take two tablespoons of this medicine, three times a day they will be healed. They are even willing to overlook physical symptoms of the illness, because they have been taught that the symptoms and the sickness will be healed as long as they take the medicine faithfully. So, their faith has been activated, they follow their doctor’s instructions, and they are healed by the medicine.

But God’s people are not willing to wait this amount of time for divine healing to manifest, because they have not been consistently taught that if they will be faithful to take God’s medicine, His Word concerning healing, three times a day, morning, noon and night, that their bodies will be healed. And because of the lack of faith teaching for healing, if they experience any type of symptom after prayer they doubt the power in God’s medicine, and are not healed.

When God’s people hear the message of faith for healing on a consistent basis and put faith for healing into action then they are healed. And not only are they healed, but they walk in divine health and avoid sickness all together.

Our faith to dare to believe God for healing will be activated when we are taught the Word for healing on a consistent basis.

Liz, this is why it has been difficult for Christians to receive healing.

A Gift of Hope for Christmas

Miguel nearly choked when he received the doctor’s diagnosis of cancer. He was sent home for the month of December to spend his last Christmas with his family.

We were invited to their home to pray for him. We encouraged him in the Word, anointed him with oil and ministered healing to him, but most important of all we gave him the gift of hope for Christmas. He dared to believe and was miraculously healed of cancer.

His family rejoices and now share with others what they were given years ago, a gift of hope for Christmas.

Avoid Spiritual Fruitcake

During the Christmas season many share and enjoy a rich, traditional delight called fruitcake. A fruitcake consists of a variety of textures, colors and flavors. Generally, fruitcake is a mixture of fruits and nuts with just enough batter to hold them together, and if kept in a tightly closed tin, a fruitcake may be kept for months or even years.

But fruitcake is also a negative label given to individuals whose ideas, speech, and actions are wacky, and unappealing to others around them. As Christians, we want to avoid becoming a spiritual fruitcake.

A spiritual fruitcake is one who lacks balance between the Word of God and the Holy Spirit. They are filled with zeal for the moves of the Spirit, but have not developed understanding and wisdom that come from the Word.

In this post I am going to give a simple recipe to follow so that we can preserve our witness for life.

Ingredients:

1. Word of God – Add a generous amount daily.

It says in Joshua 1:8-9,  “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth; but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.  (9)  Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.”

2. Living Waters  – Mix with the Word of God.

Jesus says in John 7:37-39,  “In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.)”

3. Redemption – We must carefully follow the instructions listed in Romans 10:9-13.

There is only one way to add this ingredient. “That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Because in Ephesians 1:7  it clearly tells us, “In whom we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, according to the riches of his grace;”

4. Relationship – This ingredient takes time to cultivate.

David cried out in Psalm 42:1-2,  “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God. My soul thirsteth for God, for the living God: when shall I come and appear before God?”

5. Revelation  – As the other ingredients listed above are cultivated this special ingredient will naturally supernaturally come.

This truth is revealed to us in 1Corinthians 2:14, “But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.”

6. Living Word  – If above ingredients are mixed well, your batter will come alive.

It says in Hebrews 4:12, “For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.”

7. Consistency – You need to double check your batter on a regular basis to see if it is right.

2Corinthians 13:5a instructs us to, “Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.”

8. Balance – We must take the time to weigh the batter to see if we have balance.

Ecclesiastes 3:1 encourages us that, “To every thing there is a season, and a time to every purpose under the heaven:”

9. Fruits of the Spirit – It is very important to carefully add all the Fruits of the Spirit into the batter.

These fruits are listed in Galatians 5:22-23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance: against such there is no law.”

10. Gifts of the Spirit – These are added as the Holy Spirit wills for the benefit of all.

1Corinthians 12:8-10 lists the gifts that the Holy Spirit will be adding, “For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:”

The batter is the base of the recipe and it holds the other ingredients in their place. The Word of God is our spiritual batter and it holds every area of life together. In order to have a good batter we need to read and study the Word of God 365 days / year.

A batter needs to have the right consistency, so we need to carefully measure our ingredients. The amount of liquid determines the consistency of the batter. A runny batter has too much liquid and not enough solids and can’t hold other ingredients together. A thick batter has too much solid and lacks sufficient liquid and is difficult to work with.

We need the Living Waters, the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ and His power, the Holy Spirit freely flowing in our lives. If we have the Word of God only, then we have religion. But when we have relationship with our Redeemer, Jesus Christ and the revelation of the Holy Spirit, the Word of God becomes the Living Word.

The Fruits of the Spirit, love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness and temperance add the balance that is needed to preserve a good witness throughout our lifetime.

And added at the right time a mixture of the Gifts of the Spirit, a word of wisdom, a word of knowledge, faith, gifts of healings, working of miracles, prophecy, discerning of spirits, diverse kinds of tongues, and the interpretation of tongues, will add the variety of textures, colors and flavors needed to draw others to Christ and His ways through us.

Working with this recipe will prevent us from becoming spiritual fruitcakes and will enhance the variety of textures, colors and flavors that we’ve been given that will preserve our testimony of God’s grace upon our lives.
