Healing Through Communion

matzahThere are two sides to celebrating communion:

  1. The bread symbolizes His body which was broken for us
  2. The wine symbolizes His blood which was shed for us

Most modern day church services rush past the bread to get to the wine because they want to recognize the salvation it represents.  However, they are completely ignorant of what Christ’s body, represented by the bread, was broken for.  In doing so they eat damnation to themselves not discerning that His sinless body was broken for their healing, represented by the unleavened bread.  This is why many are weak and sick and die.

Muslim Vendor Instantly Healed

selfie_stickWe had decided to do our first team outreach and chose our local mall.

Jamie, my daughter who is also on our team, approached a young man who worked at a selfie stick vending cart.  His name was Omar.  He said that he was Muslim but that he was open to anything.

Jamie asked him if he had any pain in his body to which he replied that his foot was hurting him.   She said “No problem.  Jesus loves you and wants to prove it to you by healing you.”   Continue reading Muslim Vendor Instantly Healed

Supernatural Childbirth

This book comes highly recommended and I have recommended it myself to couples who want to conceive or want to discover God’s supernatural childbirth promises in action.

supernatural-childbirthDescription

Pregnancy and childbirth are often depicted as a time of sickness and mood swings for women followed by twelve to twenty hours of pain and hard labor. Many women have been told they can never conceive. Others have suffered the pain of conceiving and miscarrying. Have you had enough of this picture?   Continue reading Supernatural Childbirth

Business Card Healing

handkerchiefAt a flea market, a woman who was carrying a folded up walker was walking towards me.  I just could not help myself to ask her, “Are you using that walker?”

“Oh, no, it is for my mother.  She cannot walk anymore.” she responded.  I introduced myself and she told me her name was Rose. I asked if her mother was here at the market and said that I was a minister and could I pray for her?

“No. She is at home.” she replied.  “No problem.” I said as I took out a business card, “Just hold on to this business card and we will infuse it with the power of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus,  so that as soon as she touches it, she will be healed.”  “Really?” Rosa’ s eyes were getting really big as we both held on to the card.   Continue reading Business Card Healing

Spiritual Basic Training

bootThis Tuesday I received an email from Dave, one of our newest team members.

He was writing to let me know about last Saturday’s outreach event and why he wasn’t there.  He had assured me that he would be there but I never saw him.  Here’s why:   Continue reading Spiritual Basic Training

Blessed With Every Spiritual Blessing

sbicAre you in need of blessings in your life?  How would you like to experience the blessings of God in your life right now?  Immediately!

Jesus told us that in Him we have peace.  But He also told us that in the world we shall have tribulation.  However, He encouraged us to be happy and of good cheer because He has overcome the world.

These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.  John 16:33

Jesus said this before the cross.  He overcame the world just by His presence here.  Therefore His presence in us right now overcomes the world and gives you happiness and peace.   Continue reading Blessed With Every Spiritual Blessing

Drive By Healing

walkerIt was a warm summer day and I was driving from one appointment to another for business.  The way my GPS was sending me, meandered through a suburban neighborhood of small, one family homes with a decent size yard in front of each home.

I crossed over a road and casually looked to my left when I saw her.  She was weeding her garden holding on to her walker.  It struck me odd that an older woman with a handicap, would be out in the heat of the day, weeding her garden with her walker.  As I pondered the scene, I kept driving and was about a block away when it hit me.  I should stop to pray for her.  After all, I had just started learning about being able to pray for people to heal them.

No, I can’t.  I need to get to my next appointment, I thought, when immediately my conscience smote me and spoke to me loud and clear, “No you don’t!  You have at least another hour before you need to be there!”   Continue reading Drive By Healing

Moving Mountains

We were at the flea market with our team and bumped into Fermin.

He was walking very slowly with a cane.  He was Spanish speaking but also spoke pretty good English.  When we asked him what the condition was he said he was in severe back and neck pain.  He could not even turn his head.

Margaret, one of our team members, had come for the first time to our outreach event.  She had several health issues herself which we prayed for and she was set free of them all.  She even received a vision correction to where she could suddenly read the signs posted in the office trailer window from a distance.  As a result, Margaret said she was ready to be activated (the term we use to have disciples pray for other people and see them get instantly healed).   Continue reading Moving Mountains

Prayers God Cannot Answer

You’ve heard these kind of prayers.  They are repeated over and over ad nauseam in almost every modem day church and by modern day believers, or people who claim to be believers, all over the world.  Here are a few examples:

  • praise-godO, Lord, please heal me.
  • O, Lord, please heal brother so and so.
  • God, please guide the surgeon’s hand during the operation to heal sister so and so.
  • Lord, please give the doctor wisdom to find out what is wrong with me.
  • Lord I pray that You might have mercy on my friend to heal them of their illness.
  • O, Lord, I pray that You will send your healing power to heal so and so of their cancer.
  • O, Lord, if it be Thy will to heal then please heal so and so.

Let’s start with the last one first because this is the one that unlocks all the others.  Continue reading Prayers God Cannot Answer

Caught Up to the Third Heaven

direction-to-heavenManny is a dear friend of mine.  I have known him for at least 20 years.  He runs an auto repair service and has serviced our family for years.

My daughter came home one day and said that Manny wanted me to call him.  She had just picked up her car and this is what Manny had asked her to tell me.

So the next time I was in the area, I made it a point to stop in and see my old friend.  As I walked into the garage, he came towards me and pulled down his collar to show me a scar that extended across his entire neck.   Continue reading Caught Up to the Third Heaven

This Day Is This Scripture Fulfilled In Your Ears

 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,  To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.  Luke 4:18-19 (fulfilling Isaiah 61:1-2a)

holyghostTogether with Jesus, and in His name, I declare unto you:

…This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.  Luke 4:21

Now before any Pharisees out there want to throw me off a cliff, let me explain.

Just as the Father had anointed Jesus to do all of these things, so has He today anointed you and me, as believers and disciples of Jesus Christ, and baptized in the Holy Spirit, to do the same.  Let me prove it to you from scripture.   Continue reading This Day Is This Scripture Fulfilled In Your Ears

Muslim Woman Instantly Healed

crutches2My wife and I were at the mall with our daughter and son-in-law and baby grandson.  Grandma had decided that she wanted to by a pair of shoes for our grandson.

As they were trying on just about every shoe in the store, I was pacing back and forth to the front of the store and back adain to see if they had finally made their selection.  When I came back to the front and stood in the entrance door looking out on the mall traffic, I spotted a Muslim family strolling by on the other side.  The mother was in the traditional Hijab and long black robe but she was struggling forth on a pair of crutches.

I crossed the walkway and approached the husband.  With Muslims I never approach the wife first as that would be inappropriate.  “Excuse me, sir.” I interrupted, “I noticed your wife’s crutches.  I am a minister and I pray for people and God heals them.  Can I pray for her?”   Continue reading Muslim Woman Instantly Healed

Slain In The Spirit And Instantly Healed

summerfest-2015

Our local church was hosting a Summerfest picnic at Modick Park in Hopatcong, New Jersey as an outreach for the community.

modick8It was a great event with live music bands, carnival games for the kids, food stands and of course a ministry table with lots of information.  I manned the ministry table with a few other folks and we offered to pray for people and would give them bibles and information about the church.

Towards the latter part of the day, one on the worship team members, Svetlana, brought a woman  over to our table who needed prayer.  Her name was Nadia and who, just like Svetlana, was from the Ukraine.   Continue reading Slain In The Spirit And Instantly Healed

Healed In Time For Her Wedding

wedding2Casey came to our home on a team meeting day to be prayed for.  She was getting married next week and could not move her back or her neck.  Not exactly how you want to go through your wedding day!

One of us prayed for her and she felt a little bit of relief, but this thing was stubborn.  It simply would not budge.  But the mountain had moved!  And if we can move the mountain just one inch then we can move it all the way!

When you minister healing and you see something move, even just the slightest bit, the demons have flinched.  They gave themselves away.  That is the proof!  They have exposed themselves and you can call them out on it.   Continue reading Healed In Time For Her Wedding

If Two Of You Shall Agree

we-agreeIf someone asks you to pray for them, what is your first reaction?

Is it something like, “O no, what do I say?  How do I pray?  What if I don’t know what to say?” Etc., etc., etc.

Instead, why not just agree with them?  That is what the word tells us to do.

Verily I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven: and whatsoever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.
Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven.
For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them.  Matthew 18:18-20

Back And Hip Pain Instantly Healed

back-painAfter ministering music to the folks at the Dover Mission, one of the workers came to get me, saying  that one of the guys needed prayer for healing for pain in his back and hips.

No problem, I thought, it is always a wonderful opportunity to stretch forth God’s hand for healing and that signs and wonders will occur in the name of His holy Son Jesus (Acts 4:30).

I followed her and she introduced me to Dennis.  I asked him what I could pray for and he told me that he had pain in his back and in both of his hips.  “Okay.  Let’s pray.” I said as I placed my hand on his back, “Father I thank You for Dennis and Jesus, I thank You that You love him and that You are going to prove to him right now how much You love him by setting him free of this condition.”   Continue reading Back And Hip Pain Instantly Healed

Who Wants To Go To Purgatory?

ladyofmtcarmelwithsufferingsouls
Statue of Mary and baby Jesus with suffering souls in purgatory begging for mercy

Biblical Christians believe that to be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord as Paul tells us in 2 Corinthians 5:8.  Therefor when we die in Christ, having been born again, confessed and repented of our sins, the next face we will see is that of Jesus, our Lord and our Savior.

The most basic tenet of the Christian faith is that Jesus paid the price for our sins by the shedding of His perfect, sinless blood on the cross as the Son of God, hereby being the sacrificial lamb that takes away the sins of the world.  This is what John the Baptist by the Holy Spirit confirmed when he saw Jesus coming to him.

The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.  John 1:29

Paul confirms that only the shedding of blood can remit sins.  Therefore the only efficacy for the remission of sin is blood and nothing else.   Continue reading Who Wants To Go To Purgatory?

Scoliosis Instantly Healed

scoliosisWe were at the Goodwill Rescue Mission in Newark and had just concluded our ministry session.  Many souls came to the Lord that night and we had a plentiful harvest.

I was cleaning up my music gear and started heading to the side door exit when I noticed a man walking noticeably crooked heading towards the backdoor of the room.  He was literally leaning to the right as he walked.

“Hey, that’s not right!” I thought to myself.  It reminded me of that part in the Lord’s prayer where Jesus says, “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.”  Nobody in heaven is walking crooked like that!  So why should anybody on earth be walking this way while there are believers around?   Continue reading Scoliosis Instantly Healed

Was Samuel Raised From The Dead?

And Samuel said to Saul, Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up?…  1 Samuel 28:15

saulAfter Saul had been rejected by God for his unfaithfulness and rebellion, God withdrew His Spirit from Saul.  The guidance he had been receiving from Samuel speaking to him by the word of Yehovah, was also gone because Samuel had died.  Saul was so distressed about the oncoming  battle with the Philistines the next day, that in desperation he sought a witch to bring up the spirit of Samuel to tell him what would happen and what he should do.

Many people believe that this is what happened and that God allowed the witch to bring up the sleeping spirit of Samuel to bring a word to Saul and prophecy to him what would happen.

Well, there are several problems with this theology.  Continue reading Was Samuel Raised From The Dead?

At The Sound Of The Trumpet

24jer0421the-sound-of-the-trumpetThe greatest event that will occur in the believer’s lifetime is either a) we will die and immediately be with the Lord or, b) the Lord will come for us as His church to take us home.

The word tells us that before Jesus’ triumphant return at His second coming to rule over all the world, He will first come to gather His church in the air to take us home.

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.  1 Thessalonians 4:17

Notice that He does not touch down on the earth as He will do at His second coming when he will stand on Mount Moriah.  At that time “every eye will see Him” (Revelation 1:7).  At this time only believers will see Him because He is coming for us only.  Also notice that it says that we will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet Him in the air.  Further notice that once we meet Him in the air, we will be with Him forever.

Who will we be together with when this happens?  Who is the “them” in this verse?  Continue reading At The Sound Of The Trumpet

All Pain Knocked Out!

Pow.pngWe were at the flea market with Anand, one of our team members, and came across a lady in a wheelchair.

Anand offered to pray for her and she accepted.  She had pain in her knees.  Anand prayed several times for this lady but the demon was stubborn and would not release her from the pain in her legs.  But it had to go.  It had not choice!   Continue reading All Pain Knocked Out!

Instantly Healed, Saved and Baptized

It was a rainy overcast Saturday morning.  All night it had rained, even with lightning and thunderstorms early in the morning.  But we had scheduled an outing to the Meadowlands Flea Market and I was determined to go.

umbrella-dancingintherainOn the way it started pouring buckets.  I commanded the rain to stop by the time I got there.  It was relentless and actually started coming down even heavier.  I looked up and said “That’s okay.  I’ll give you some more time to do what you want as long as you stop by the time I get there.”

As I drove onto the parking lot of the flea market, the rain had died down to a drizzle.  Thank you, Lord!  Well, I was here but not many people were.  Even the vendors were only a handful compared to how many there usually are.  Well, at least I’m here, I thought to myself, Lord, the rest is up to you.   Continue reading Instantly Healed, Saved and Baptized

Supernatural Activity On Video

From of old, people have always wondered what the spiritual world looks like.

Orbs.pngWe get an idea of this when we read the bible especially Isaiah, Ezekiel and Revelations.  Heaven is described in colorful, majestic and glorious terms.  Hell is also described as a fiery place with torment to its inhabitants.  Lucifer is described as a beautiful angel of light.  Demons are not really described at all, neither their origin nor their definition.  However, their character and nature is described to us by Jesus.

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first. Even so shall it be also unto this wicked generation.  Matthew 12:43-45

When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest; and finding none, he saith, I will return unto my house whence I came out. 25 And when he cometh, he findeth it swept and garnished. 26 Then goeth he, and taketh to him seven other spirits more wicked than himself; and they enter in, and dwell there: and the last state of that man is worse than the first.  Luke 11:24-26

The word demon and devil is used interchangeably in the bible and describes the same thing which are basically unclean spirits.

In our age of technology, a new revelation of the spirit world is emerging.   Continue reading Supernatural Activity On Video

God Heals Birth Defects

god-heals-birth-defectsToday I would like to share with you an excellent book from the ministry of Andy Hayner.  Andy has his own ministry called Full Speed Impact Ministries and he is also a fellow Life Team Servant with John G. Lake Ministries.

Contrary to popular belief, Andy proves from personal experience that God does not cause birth defects.  Rather, He is the healer of them.  In his book God Heals Birth Defects, co-authored with  Margaret Weishuhn, you will read first hand testimonies written by parents from around the world who are seeing God heal their children from diagnoses such as cerebral palsy, autism, down syndrome and other birth defects.

Finally, here is a book that has been a great source of comfort and answers to parents of children who are suffering with these conditions.  This book explains in full detail how to correct their child’s condition, heal them and miraculously transform their lives.  If you are looking to minister to children with these conditions, then this book will empower you to minister healing to those afflicted with birth defects.  As Andy says: “We want to give parents and grandparents the book that we wish someone would have given to us the moment our child was born diagnosed with a birth defect.”   Continue reading God Heals Birth Defects

Nature Itself Disproves Evolution

 

peacockWhat many pro-evolution advocates call evolution is really only what is called “adaption” or “adaptation”.

Adaptation refers to the growth process of a natural being to adapt to its environment.  Even Wikipedia defines it as follows: “Adaptation is the evolutionary process whereby an organism becomes better able to live in its habitat or habitats.”

Animals, as well as, human beings may show physical changes to better adapt to their environments.  This is natural adaptation of the species within the species and not evolution from one species to another.   Continue reading Nature Itself Disproves Evolution

Impossible With Man

This was on the worldwide Life Team Skype chat: (roughly translated from Russian)

[12/29/2015 11:37:18 AM] Tatyana Matyash:

Keys.pngA young man serving in the army, was constantly humiliated because he believed in God.

One day the Captain wanted to humiliate this soldier before the entire army.  He called the soldier and said “Soldier, come here to pick up your keys and go to the car park.  There is a Jeep.  Sit behind the wheel and drive it to the Commandant’s Office and park my car there.”

The soldiers replied “I can’t drive!”  The captain said “Well then ask for help from your God!  Show us that He exists!”   Continue reading Impossible With Man

Spiritual Fireworks

My wife and I were invited to come watch the fireworks over the lake at our friends’ house for the fourth of July.  It turned out to be a fellowship of believers of a local church we attend.

We came to find out that unfortunately the fireworks were canceled due to the weather conditions.  Thunder and lightning storms were in the forecast and sure enough, as we sat on the porch enjoying the vista of the lake, it started pouring and we all quickly retreated indoors.

My wife was chatting up a storm inside with some of the women and I just happened to be standing by two other ladies I had never met before, Gayle and Elizabeth.  We started talking about dogs and cats and showing each other pictures of our pets.  Then we switched to discussing different religions when Gayle asked if we could sit down because her back was hurting her.  I asked her where it hurt and she said “Right here.” while she took my hand and pressed it right onto the spot after I had offered to pray for her.   Continue reading Spiritual Fireworks

Jesus Heals Jains

jainAnand, one of our team members, called me on a Monday and asked me if he could bring over his neighbor and parents for healing.  He explained that they were Jains who practice Jainism, a religion that to us appears similar to Hinduism but yet is very different and quite popular in India.  I told him that would be fine and he brought them over the next day.

They were extremely nice and polite people and we had a wonderful time in conversation.  However, after talking a bit, I noticed that the mother was restless and in discomfort.  So I suggested we pray for her and relieve her of her pain first, then we could continue our discussion.  They agreed and I asked her what her condition was.   Continue reading Jesus Heals Jains
