Find His Peace

Jesus’ words are clear, These things I have spoken to you, that in Me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation; but be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.” See John 16:33. He speaks this way so that we can prepare for difficult times that will come to all of us.

Now, let’s be clear on one thing, God isn’t the author of difficult times, but because we live in a fallen world He gives us spiritual advice on how to overcome when we pass through these challenges.

First of all, He says, “In Me you may have peace.” And again in John 14:27 He reassures us with these words, “Peace I leave with you, My peace I give to you; not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.Jesus offers us peace that is not of this world, in fact it is found outside of this world. It is found within the bounds of an intimate relationship with Him.

How can you enter into this peace with Him?

  1. The first step to having this peace is to be Born-Again. He says to Nicodemus in John 3:3, “Verily, verily, I say unto thee, except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.This man was a ruler of the Jews, a man of the Pharisees. he was a highly respected individual in his community, yet something was missing in his life. A relationship with religion cannot bring true joy or peace, this can only come from intimate fellowship with Jesus Christ. Without being born-again you cannot find God, you cannot enter into His ways either. His way is peace. And you can’t find His way through the world.
  2. Be baptized with the Holy Spirit, pray in tongues so that we can edify, build up our spiritual being. See 1 Corinthians 14:4.
  3. You can exchange your negative thoughts for His positive ones when you renew your mind with the Word of God. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. See Romans 12:2.
  4. Let’s take this a step further, He tells us to be of good cheer and not to let our heart be troubled or full of fear. How can we accomplish this? The main way is to choose what we think about. He says in Philippians 4:8, Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things.

When we honestly make an effort to do these things, He promises us in Philippians 4:9, The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.

Be Strong in the Lord

 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord and in the power of His might. Put on the whole armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.

Stand therefore, having girded your waist with truth, having put on the breastplate of righteousness, and having shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace; above all, taking the shield of faith with which you will be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked one. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God; praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, being watchful to this end with all perseverance and supplication for all the saints”— Eph. 6:10-18.

The key to this portion of Scripture is in verse 10: “Be strong in the Lord.” How do we become strong in the Lord? By developing our relationship with the Lord—going beyond salvation and becoming His friends. We begin to develop our knowledge in the Word concerning healing. But it’s not enough to just study the Word; we need to put it into action on a daily basis. And lastly, we need to put on the whole armor of God, not just the part that we are comfortable or familiar with. Let’s learn to use them and apply them to every situation.

Gird your waist with truth. Wrap yourself in God’s truth that He is not only able, but that He also wills to heal you, see Luke 5:13.

Breastplate of Righteousness. Oftentimes, God’s people do not feel they are good enough to be healed. And they are right we will never be good enough, but the God’s healing promise is not based upon our behavior, but upon the obedience of Christ who was whipped so that we can be healed in Him, see Isaiah 53:4-5.

Shod your feet with the preparation of the gospel of peace. With extreme situations, such as death reports from incurable diseases, our mind and emotions war against the Word of God. And it can be difficult to find peace. The main reason for this is because the peace we need doesn’t come from this world. It’s not found in the emotional realm, but in the manifest presence of God, see John 14:27.

Shield of Faith. When we are in a raging battle for our health, or the health of a loved one we can’t forget about our faith. We’ve all been given a measure of faith to use in everyday life. Faith is not a feeling, it is an actual substance. It is what we stand on when there are no feelings. God created this world by faith, and He created us to be like Him and gave us supernatural weapons to use, such as faith, see Romans 12:3.

Helmet of Salvation.  Salvation is more than eternal life with Jesus, it’s for the here and now as well. This word, “salvation” comes from the Greek word, “sozo”, and includes healing for the spirit, soul, and body. See Acts 2:21.

Sword of the Spirit. This sword is supernatural, and its power is limitless. It’s the Word of God, and it is alive and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it penetrates even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow; it judges the thoughts and attitudes of the heart, see Heb. 4:12. And when we speak it out wisely we destroy the works of satan, and release the healing power of the Holy Spirit, see Prov. 18:21.

No matter how long it takes, no matter what others may say, we must persevere and move forward with God and His Word. The enemy’s grip will start to loosen up, and when it does, we must not let our guard down, but remain strong in the Lord, push all the harder and we will win! Then our desired healings will manifest in Jesus’ name.

Fear Paralyzes Words of Faith

Today, we are going to take a unique look at fear, what fear does, and how it prevents the manifestation of the healing power of the Lord.

A friend of mine was stung 7 times by a scorpion. The first thing that happened to her was that her tongue became swollen and paralyzed. Then this venom worked its way down her arm and side, and both were paralyzed and her body was in extreme pain.

Fear is like this venomous scorpion sting that stung my friend. Fear first paralyzes the tongue, and then it affects the rest of the body. Why?

In Proverbs18:21 it says that LIFE and DEATH are in the POWER of the tongue. Your tongue possesses a power. What is this power? It is the power of the spoken word. Words have the power to create or to destroy.

This is why fear, first and foremost, paralyzes the creative power of the tongue. If you receive the injection of its venomous poison into your spirit, you will begin to speak failure, destruction and even death. And by the power of your own tongue, that which you speak will be produced.

In the incident with my friend, her tongue was paralyzed, she needed someone to come and speak words of healing over her body. I did this, and immediately she was set free from extreme pain and the swelling and the paralysis left her body.

Another testimony about a young man that became very ill and was in a lot of pain. It was discovered that he had a cancerous tumor. He shared what happened to him when the doctors came into his hospital room to give him the bad report. He said that as he heard the death report, he could not speak. It was as if he had swallowed poison. What did he really swallow? He swallowed fear. He accepted this death report into his spirit and immediately started meditating and speaking death.  It took others to speak words of healing into his life in order for his faith to be encouraged to the point that he accepted the words of faith and started to speak them for himself.  And once he started to speak faith-filled words of healing, health and life his miracle manifested and the cancerous tumor disappeared.

It is of utmost importance that we refuse to accept the venomous poison of fear into our spirit, that we do not allow fear to paralyze the power of our tongue and that we choose our words wisely and speak faith-filled words of life and healing.

Spiritual Ways to Combat Depression

I received a letter the other day from a woman asking for help to overcome depression, especially during the summer months coming up when she is not working outside of the home. Let’s look to God’s Word for spiritual help to combat depression.

Ephesians 5: 18-19 warns us, “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,” and again in Colossians 3:16 again admonishes us, “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.”

First of all, it says in Ephesians 5:18, “be not drunk with wine”. Oftentimes, when people are suffering from depression they turn to alcohol, drugs, anti-depressants, food, pornography… These and other things are temporary highs, but they cannot fix the problem causing the depression. God is your only answer.

Here are 6 spiritual ways to combat depression that can help you.

  1. Become Born-Again. This is where we are to begin. If you are not already a Christian, it is time to become born-again. John 3:3 tells us, “Jesus answered and said to him, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” God and His kingdom ways are filled with hope, new beginnings, and victory in Christ.
  1. Look to Jesus. Therefore we also, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which so easily ensnares us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, looking unto Jesus, the author and finisher of our faith, who for the joy that was set before Him endured the cross, despising the shame, and has sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.” Joy will come when we keep our eyes on Jesus.

This word, “look” means to turn the eyes away from other things and fix them on something, and in this case it means to fix our eyes on Jesus. (Strong’s G872 – aphoraō). When we focus on Jesus, the things of this world lose their grip on us, and Jesus becomes our stronghold.

  1. Be baptized with the Holy Spirit. 1 Corinthians 4:4 shows us how to encourage ourselves, He who speaks in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the church.” When we pray in tongues, it edifies and builds us up. This is a very important tool that needs to be taught to the whole body of Christ. Imagine how a spirit of depression would flee from the Church!
  1. Think godly thoughts. It says in Philippians 4: 9-10, Finally, brethren, whatever things are true, whatever things are noble, whatever things are just, whatever things are pure, whatever things are lovely, whatever things are of good report, if there is any virtue and if there is anything praiseworthy—meditate on these things. The things which you learned and received and heard and saw in me, these do, and the God of peace will be with you.” The next time you hear yourself thinking negative thoughts ask yourself, “Is this thought pure, lovely, good news, virtuous, or praiseworthy?” If not, purposefully change the theme going on in your mind.
  1. Renew your mind. In order to think godly thoughts you are going to have to renew your mind with God’s thoughts. Romans 12:2 puts it this way, And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.”

  6. Singing psalms, hymns, and spiritual songs. Our opening Scriptures from Ephesians 5:18-19 and from Colossians 3:16 talk about singing psalms, hymns and spiritual songs. And this is our last point we will cover in today’s message.

The Bible has a lot to say about the power of songs, words put to music, for example a psalm of praise sung by Moses and the Israelites after they passed through the Red Sea, and then Miriam and the women continued on with song and dance.

Songs of praise to our God have a way of lifting our spirits that puts smiles on our faces, joy in our hearts, and even sets our feet to dancing.

When joy is always difficult to find in life, then it is more than disappointing or hurtful circumstances causing the depression. And would be a spirit of depression over you. One way for deliverance from a demon of depression is by prayer and fasting that I have discussed in other blog posts. See “Do You Need a Breakthrough?” I would also recommend that you see a Christian counselor nearest you.

Fasting for 40 Days

We’ve discussed the supernatural power that is released by prayer and fasting when we are in need of a breakthrough. Please see, “Do You Need a Breakthrough?” And then we studied, “Which Type of Fast is Best for You?” And now this is the third part in this series about fasting for 40 days.

First of all, there are only 3 people recorded in the Bible that fasted for 40 days. They are Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. You can read in Exodus 34:28-29, about Moses’ supernatural encounter on Mount Sinai with God. It was such a powerful encounter that the glory of the Lord shown on his face, and the people would actually cover his face with a veil because he shown so brightly.

In 1 Kings 19:7-9, during Elijah’s 40 day fast on God’s mountain, Mount Horeb which is also the same mountain that Moses was on, Mount Sinai, the downtrodden prophet Elijah is restored from fear, failure and depression.

In both these accounts, Moses and Elijah, powerful men of God are being led up the mountain of God without basic provision for 40 days. This fact speaks volumes to me. Near the top of the mountain there is a wilderness to pass through. There is a test of obedience and discipline that leaders must be willing to walk. They must overcome pride and entitlement, and the only way seems to be by humbling themselves before God by prayer and fasting.

Then we have our wonderful Lord and Savior, Jesus who was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness, where satan first tempts Him to break His fast early by turning stones into bread to eat. Then He is tempted to test Father God’s faithfulness if He deliberately does something foolish that could perhaps end His physical life before His destiny at Calvary. And then He is tempted with false power and position if He will bow down to satan. And our faithful Jesus overcomes every form of temptation by speaking the Word of God. See Matthew 4:1-11.

And we should take note that during this time of temptation, satan is also trying to cause Jesus to question His true identity, and fall into the sin of entitlement. Be aware of the enemy’s tactics during this time of prayer and fasting.

And isn’t it interesting that satan first tempts Jesus to break His fast. This shows us that fasting must be very powerful if he will try to tempt Jesus and us to give up and quit. Be like Jesus, don’t give in. Use the Word of God during this time to overcome the temptation to break your fast.

Amazingly, years later, these three men, Moses, Elijah and Jesus meet up with each other on the Mount of Transfiguration. See Matthew 17.  Again, this proves that supernatural power is released during times of prayer and fasting. And our destinies are forever altered when we obey.

The difficulties that you will encounter during a 40 day fast are as follows.

o   You will be led into a spiritual wilderness. God does not promise that prayer and fasting will or should be easy.

o   God will test your faithfulness. He will try the motives of your heart.

o   When you are physically weak and worn down, the devil will make his move and attack.

o   The enemy will cause you to question your identity in Christ.

o   The enemy will fight against you in the arena of your calling.

o   With his lying tongue he will make false promises if you will give into his temptations.

Years ago, the Lord required of me to go on three 40 day fasts in one year. It was hard on the flesh. It was preparation for the healing ministry, and I am still harvesting the fruit that was planted back then.

I began with drinking a non-salted clear broth made from boiled vegetables that was strained. I drank this 3 times a day, along with lots of water throughout the day. Then, eventually the only thing my system could handle was warm water.

Along with drinking the clear vegetable broth and water, I would spend most of my days and nights reading and studying the Word of God. Actually, I read through the entire Bible during each of these 3 fasts. And I spent much time in prayer and worship.

Personally, I do not recommend this fast for those that are struggling with eating disorders, or are fighting sickness and disease. If, this is you, there are other types of fasting that would be better for you. And I highly recommend that you ask your physician how you can participate in a type of biblical fasting.

I know of a woman that struggled with an eating disorder in her past, and she knew her weakness in this area and instead of fasting from food, she fasted sugar and salt, and from entertainment, and in their place she read and studied her Bible more, and spent personal time in worship.

As I shared in an earlier post, during times of prayer and fasting, I purchase a new notebook. I purchase the biggest one I can find, and I journal throughout the day. On the first page, I write down the start and end dates of the fast. I add to this page Scripture verses that I will stand on, and specific prayer requests or reasons for the fast.

Even though, 40 day fasts are difficult on the flesh, they are very powerful spiritually. Through personal experience I have found that the benefits outweigh the difficulties. And these are some of the benefits that you can expect during a 40 day clear liquid fast.

o   You will encounter the Spirit of God in a greater manner then before.

o   Your spiritual senses will be empowered.

o   The gifts of the Spirit become highly activated.

o   You will see and hear God clearly.

 

Seven Scriptural Reasons for Prayer and Fasting

  1. Divine Protection. Ezra proclaims a corporate time of prayer and fasting for God’s divine protection. Ezra 8: 21-23.
  2. Physical Healing. Paul fasts for 3 days and nights from food and water and his blind eyes open via the obedience of Ananias. Acts 9:1-19.
  3. Deliverance from evil spirits. In Matthew 17:14-21 Jesus teaches His disciples that the only way certain evil spirits will leave is by prayer and fasting.
  4. Restoration from failure and depression. 1 Kings 19, the well-trained prophet Elijah is restored from failure and depression.
  5. Victory over temptation. In Matthew 4: 1-11, we read how Jesus fasted 40 days and nights, and victory over very strong temptations.
  6. Repentance and revival. In 1 Samuel 7:6, God uses Samuel to revive the people that were enslaved to idol worship and lead them to repentance and deliverance.
  7. Release into ministry. Again in Matthew 4:1-11, after 40 days and nights of fasting Jesus is released into 3 years of faithful ministry.

So, let me repeat myself from the previous post, choose your type of fast, set your dates, purchase your journals, and let the breakthroughs and the miracles begin!

Why AM I Getting Worse and Not Better?

Someone writes and asks, “I have prayed for healing for several people for years. I have learned to quit asking and thank God for working in their bodies. I quote “healing is the children’s bread” and I ask God to give us this day our daily bread, healing. It is difficult when these people appear to get worse and not better. What are your thoughts about this?”

The first words I hear when I read this question are; “The Bread and the Wine have already been served.” It isn’t that God is withholding healing. Jesus already broke bread, (His Body) for us when He bowed down and gave His back to be brutally whipped for our healing. And He also poured the Wine, (His Blood) when He shed His blood at Calvary so that we could walk in a new blood covenant called grace.

When healing is not manifesting, I have learned to stop blaming God, and to start searching within myself to find out what is happening in my life that is hindering the healing power of God from manifesting. Why does it appear that I am getting worse and not better? If I don’t know the answer, I ask the Holy Spirit to show me what’s in my heart. And I can do this without feeling condemned, because I know that His grace is for me and not against me. And He willingly gives the revelation so that I can be healed.

Take the time to examine your heart and ask yourself the following questions:

  • Am I struggling with past hurts and unforgiveness? Matthew 6:14-15 tells us, “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.”
  • Is there willful sin in my life? Proverbs 66:18 makes it plain, “If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear.”
  • Am I speaking the blessings of God or the curses of satan over my life? Proverbs 18:21teaches us that, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”
  • Have I surrendered my 5 senses and human reasoning over to God? Or do I trust them more than the Word of God concerning my healing? We can learn from our spiritual father, Abraham in Romans 4:19, “And not being weak in faith, he did not consider his own body, already dead (since he was about a hundred years old), and the deadness of Sarah’s womb.”
  • Are my eyes fixed on Jesus? Or have I lost my focus and they are centered on the illness? Hebrews 12:2a tells us where our eyes should be focusing, “fixing our eyes on Jesus, the pioneer and perfecter of faith.”
  • Have I given into confusion and doubt? Am I being controlled by a spirit of fear? Or am I walking by faith? 2 Timothy says, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”
  • Do I really believe that God is for me, and not against me? Romans 8:31 says, “What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us?”

If the Spirit of God is speaking to your heart, stop what you are doing, start praying and seeking God for His forgiveness and guidance and start the healing process again.

Healing Confessions

The Good News in Proverbs 18:21 teaches us that there is the power of life and death in our tongues. Essentially this means that the condition of our health is in the words that we speak. In-other-words, we have control over our health and lives. Let us learn how to speak words of faith that will produce healing in our mortal bodies.

You see, according to God our words either create or destroy. We can learn to use the power of the spoken word wisely. We need to destroy the work of the enemy, satan in our lives. We need to renounce sickness, disease, and death attacking our bodies. And then we release the healing power of the Holy Spirit and receive it into sick body parts.

Jesus said, “Have faith in God. If you say to this mountain, be removed and cast into the sea, and don’t doubt in your heart, but believe the things you say will happen, then you will have whatever you say. So, with a believing heart, declare the promises of God, and receive your miracles. Mk. 11:22-24.

Use the following list of healing confessions and speak them out loud several times a day, just as if you were taking a dose of medicine for yourself or for someone else. Personalize these Scriptures, use your name or the name of a loved one and declare God’s healing power.

Marcos Raised From the Dead

I walked into the bedroom and saw something was wrong with our baby. I called out to my husband, “David!” He came immediately and swept Marcos up into his arms and ran to the car to rush him to a hospital.

I was not able to go with him because we lived in our children’s home with 17 children, and 5 were babies. It all happened so fast, and I did not have someone that could take care of the babies for me.

The first hospital he went to did not have oxygen. He was recommended to try another private hospital. He quickly found it. They saw Marcos and grabbed him from David’s arms and ran to save him.

In the natural they did everything they knew to do, but too much time had lapsed and there was no hope. Our adopted son, Marcos died from Sudden Infant Death Syndrome when he was 1 month old. His heart didn’t just stop, but exploded within him, and along with his blood pieces of his lungs came up out of his nose. And the doctor pronounced Marcos dead.

But we dare to believe in the redemptive work of Jesus Christ, and with Him all things are possible!

During this time in Guatemala communication systems were not very good. We did not have land lines, and cell phones were brand new and we owned one. But with only one cell phone we were not able to communicate with one another. So, I did not know what was happening with David and Marcos, nor did he know what was happening with me and the Holy Spirit.

As soon as David and Marcos fled the house, I called all the children to pray with me for Marcos. They prayed the best they knew how, but then I went into our bedroom, shut the door and prayed in tongues fervently.

While interceding in the Spirit for Marcos, the Lord broke into my natural realm and spoke to me in an audible voice. He called me by name and whispered, “Becky.” I answered Him and said, “What?” He said to me, “You need to command the spirit of death to come out of Marcos now.” I did not question or even fear what I heard. I immediately said aloud, “I renounce the spirit of death over Marcos and I release the Spirit of Life to flow into him in Jesus’ name.” The Lord then spoke to me again and said, “Now Becky, you need to speak to his spirit directly.”

No one had ever taught me this except that during the past two years the Lord had instructed me to study healing and nothing else during this time. And I saw in the Gospels that Jesus sent His Word and it healed them.

I immediately heard myself say, “Marcos, I know in the natural there is a distance between us, but in the spirit realm there is no distance between us. Marcos, I need you to start breathing on your own now. Breathe, breathe, breathe!” And then I had a peace that surpasses all understanding.

David had already heard the news that Marcos was dead, and was signing the necessary paperwork. When all of a sudden they heard Marcos grasp for breath. They all turned around and ran to attend him.

In the natural Marcos was not able to breathe on his own. What was upon him? The Spirit of Life.

For the next month, we stood in the gap for his very life, because when he died everything within him died as well. But by the true power of faith we believed and received a new heart, a new set of lungs, a new set of kidneys and a new brain, because they were all dead, but now they are alive.

We celebrated Marcos’ 13th birthday for the glory of our Lord.

Is Healing Power Just for Healers?

Is healing power just for healers? This is a good question, and one that I get asked often. The answer is no. Healing power is for everyone that believes.

According to 1 Corinthians 12 there is a ministry gift called, gifts of healings. This is a gift of the Holy Spirit given as He wills to give to an individual. This person may or may not end up behind a pulpit. But regardless, wherever they go healing follows them.

1 Corinthians 12:4-11 tells us concerning the gifts of the Spirit, “There are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. There are differences of ministries, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of activities, but it is the same God who works all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to each one for the profit of all:  for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit,  to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.”

I see some frequent errors in the body of Christ that need to be clarified concerning the administering of healing.

1. These 9 gifts of the Holy Spirit, including the gifts of healings are given to individuals as the Spirit wills. In other words, we cannot just decide that we are going to have a healing ministry. This is a specific calling of God on an individual’s life. This calling is irrevocable, and is for the benefit of others.

2. Not everyone is called to have a healing ministry, but all believers in Christ Jesus are called to exercise their everyday faith and lay hands on the sick for healing.

Mark 16: 17-18 says, “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.”

Our physical well-being is so important to the Lord that He provided more than one way for us  to be supernaturally healed.

1. By an individual called by the Holy Spirit to operate in the ministry of healing.

2. Or through our own faith to believe for our own healing or for the healing of another by the laying on of hands.

The healing power of the Holy Spirit is for both the healing minister, and for the individual who will exercise their faith and believe in His power to heal.
