Amen to that... ...and I am trying to gently encourage others to join in praying for others simple faith and obedience.

Here we go again... I had to take a German backpacker to hospital with acute tonsillitis. He had a roaring fever, hot and cold sweats, raging sore throat, dizzyness. They gave him paracelomol and brufen and a script for antibiotics. But... I prayed for his healing in the Hospital waiting...

And one in the last 12 months. This was a first for me - a member of the Christian forum in the US asked me for prayer - PSA 70+ I am just telling it as it is... I wandered out on the back lawn and prayed earnestly to God and cursed the cancer and asked for healing in God's mercy. Over the...

Here is a more recent example of prayer being answered. Dear friend of 33 diagnosed with cancer. Several Tumours in her thyroid. She confessed sins. We prayed with oil for healing. Pre op biopsy, cells extracted Malignancy confirmed... Initially facing a wait of several months for...

Hello Auntie Jane, I was relieved to read that what you offer is just an opinion. :) If you would like to ask me any particular questions, no problem. You might notice I don't emphasise the issue of gifts. My Church has a long history of healing in fact has a healing order as part of the...

No Problem - good question...

Of course - God works on a variety of levels. However in this age we need to be wise about when and why we seek help about what. Also in any event we should put the matter before God first. This said I will expand on that comment you quoted. I had a friend that became quite ill. He was in...

Thanks for the responses - something to pray about... There are a variety of truth's intersecting and differences in definition. However the object of the exercise is effective ministry empowered and directed by Him.

This is a reference to being born again - first birth in water, second birth in the Spirit when receiving the indwelling presence. Empowering for ministry usually comes later and is receiving a permanent empowering for ministry exactly as Jesus did at His Baptism.

No not at all - sorry for any misunderstanding.

Are you sure? John 21 24 This is the disciple who is testifying to these things and wrote these things, and we know that his testimony is true. 25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, which if they *were written in detail, I suppose that even the world itself *would not...

Another testimony... About 37 years ago I was engaged to my Wife Sandi and we attended church one evening together. At the end of the service I got a call from a friend - he sounded excited and invited us to share in fellowship with him and a few friends at his home. immediately I felt uneasy...

I trust that there are some who need the word I bring. When Jesus sent out the 12 and the 72 he particularly selected untrained folk who followed Him in simple obedience. In His name they saw Satans strongholds broken over folk - they has no formal training. They had no theological bias to get...

OK... let's consider another testimony concerning a dear brother now with Jesus. This man left for Colombia with his wife and family from New Zealand in the early eighties. I have never forgotten this message that I heard from him first hand. His ministry was substantial, working in districts...

You remind me of a very good friend who has now passed on... He said "I dont have many answers but my questions are very well organised..." I digress... Here are a couple of scriptures that are pivotal. Mark 16: 16 He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has...

Sure... I assume you know your bible so I shouldn't have to quote verses.

If you first see the Father healing, then all you do is declare it and it is... The issue of what realm or cause is at that point insignificant. But you must learn to hear Him first.

Yes, however anyone seriously being used in this way can only go where directed. So that is an issue you will have to take up with Him. My partner in ministry was led specifically into a hospital waiting room and prayed for a gang member with a broken nose who was healed on the spot. I can...

Yes we do try to treat conditions that at times can be spiritual, but Jesus healed all three realms - spiritual, physical and mental. Jesus has authority over all realms so the condition has to respond to His authority as did the waves. I was in rebellion for 11 years and picked up several...

We don't know that He was brief and He certainly inspired the Apostles to present the BHS as central to evangelism.
