Paul’s Unnecessary Sufferings

paulWe have all done things in our zealousness that were, what we thought, was right at the time.  Only to find out that it was our own zealous desire from our heart and not necessarily God’s desire or His perfect will for us.  But we have a loving Father who is gracious, patient and forgiving and oft well pleased and delighted that we would be so zealous for Him.

Have you ever had a loved one go out of their way to do something for you, that you did not really want them to do?  Continue reading Paul’s Unnecessary Sufferings

The Kingdom Has Come Near Unto You

motorcartI needed to pick up just a few things at the grocery store.  When I came out of one of the aisles, I bumped into a man who was riding in a motorized shopping cart.  I always look to see if there’s a walking cane in the basket and sure enough, there was.

So I approached him and said “Excuse me.  I noticed your go-cart and your cane.  I’m a minister and I pray for people and God heals them.  Can I pray for you?”   Continue reading The Kingdom Has Come Near Unto You

Physician, Heal Thyself!

physicianEdna is a lovely southern lady who I met at the local church we attend.  She was walking with a cane and naturally I offered to pray for her.  When we prayed, the pain in her back left her and she was instantly healed.  She gave me a big hug and a kiss and thanked me and praised Jesus.

I saw her again a few weeks later again with her cane and asked her why she was still using the cane.  She said that she had pain in her back again and needed her cane to be able to walk.  I offered to pray for her again and she was healed once more.

Then I did not see her use her cane for a while and she said that she was fine and had not had any more pain.

However, this past Sunday, I saw her again at church and again with that silly cane.  Continue reading Physician, Heal Thyself!

Complete Overhaul Part 2

spirit-doveWell, Charles was so thrilled with being healed that he brought three of his neighbors with him the next week.  They said that Charles was dancing in front of them to show them that he had been healed and that he had not been able to do that before.

The first woman I prayed for received a new baptism in the Holy Ghost and received the gift of speaking in tongues.

The next man was instantly healed of pain in his knees and back and his anxiety and depression were lifted.   Continue reading Complete Overhaul Part 2

Complete Overhaul

perfect-body-under-constructionCharlie was brought to our house meeting as a guest.  He was very pleasant and inquisitive with questions like “Are you saying that we have no need for doctors?” and “Well, what about Paul’s thorn in the flesh?” and “Are you saying that all sickness comes from demons?”.  No arguments, just healthy curiosity about these sacred cows he had been raised with.

We patiently answered all his questions and explained that like sacred cows, these were all doctrines of men that he had learned as the commandments of men.  When it came time for prayer, he was noticeably silent.  Then one of our regulars, no doubt prompted by the Holy Spirit as well as his continual holding and rubbing his knees, asked him “Do you need prayer for your knees?”   Continue reading Complete Overhaul

Show Of Power

power-in-the-pinesOn the 14th of May, Fort Dix Air Force Base in New Jersey held its annual air show called Power in the Pines.  The “Pines” referring to the New Jersey Pine Barrens that surround the area.  The “Power” obviously referring to the air power of the many fighter jets and aerial combat equipment on display that day.

Well, with an expected crowd of over 100,000 people, we decided to bring some real power to the pines to overcome the prince of the power of the air and set the captives free.  So we brought our team and about 200 Gospels of John to handout.

We quickly noticed that the attraction was also the distraction.  Many people we approached who were in obvious need of healing, quickly dismissed our offer because ”I’m heading to the air show.”  One woman pushing her husband in a wheelchair actually yelled at us “Leave us alone!”  I knew it wasn’t the woman who was yelling and he wasn’t yelling at us but at Jesus.   Continue reading Show Of Power

Activating A Brand New Team Member

Mall.jpgAndrew, a brand new Team Member, whom I had never met before but only over the phone, met us for one of our outreach outings at Willowbrook Mall.  He told us that he had never seen an actual healing before and that he had prayed for people but had never seen an instant healing.  As we walked around the mall he witnessed several instant healings take place by the other team members.

When it came time to go, the very last person I approached was a small Indian man who sat by the fountain in the middle of the mall while holding on to his quad cane.  He accepted my offer for prayer and told me it was his knee that was hurting.  You could see that the knee was bent outward to the side and affected his whole leg being crooked.   Continue reading Activating A Brand New Team Member

Saleem Meets Sar Shalom

prince-of-peace.jpgAfter ministering music to the men at the Goodwill Rescue Mission and after packing up my stuff, before leaving, I decided to reach out to the guys directly and just sit down and talk with them.

One of them was a young man named Saleem which means peace similar to Shalom as in Sar Shalom or Prince of Peace.  I asked him if he believed in Jesus and I could tell he hesitated before he said yes, he did.  I said “Wait a minute.  You just hesitated before you said that.  Do you really believe in Jesus?”  “Well sometimes I do.”  He kind of avoided the question so I asked him “Hey, can I show you something?”  “Sure.” he replied.

Jesus Saves Man’s Leg From Amputation

Wally comes regularly to the Dover Outreach Mission.  One Thursday, the day we usually minister there, we were wondering where he was.

His friends told us that he had been taken up in the hospital with an infection in his leg and that they were going to amputate it.  When Wally questioned the doctors, they said it was not maybe, but that they were definitely going to cut his leg off, right below the knee.   Continue reading Jesus Saves Man’s Leg From Amputation

Super Outreach Saturday

We had scheduled an outreach to the flea market for the team on Saturday, September 24th, at the Meadowlands in Secaucus, NJ, when one of the team members brought another outreach event to my attention that was also happening the same day in Paterson, NJ.  It was scheduled by several churches and community outreach organizations and was sure to draw a crowd.

Great, I though, we can go to the flea market in the morning and hit this event in the afternoon.   Continue reading Super Outreach Saturday

Walk In Instant Healing

Well that was cool.  I just healed the pain in my foot instantly.  Here’s what happened.

pie-150x150We were out apple picking with the family and before we got to the orchard, we stopped into a farm store just to look around and see what they had to offer.

As I was moseying along looking at the fresh baked apple pies, homemade kettle corn and scented wax candles, I noticed a sudden sharp pain in my right foot as if I had misstepped.  You know, one of those annoying foot pains that comes out of nowhere and latches on to you for days, if not weeks.   Continue reading Walk In Instant Healing

Be A Thermostat

thermometer.pngAs a son of God, you have a lot of privileges. But they come with responsibilities.

For unto whomsoever much is given, of him shall be much required: and to whom men have committed much, of him they will ask the more. Luke 12:48b

You have been given the much.  Now much is required of you.  Whining is no longer a luxury you can permit yourself.

For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God.  Romans 8:19

You are expected to manifest as a son of God.  What does this mean?  It means to show the signs of being a son of God, to display His character, to act and be just like Him.  Even though Jesus was the Son of God, Jesus as the son of man was the perfect example of manifesting as a Son of God, so much so, that He was the express image of the Father.  He even said, “If you have seen me, you have seen the Father. ”

This is not just a positive pep talk. It is a way of life.  You are much more than meets the eye.   Continue reading Be A Thermostat

Red Dot Healing

Red dot.png

This is a red dot.

I have infused it with the power of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus for your healing.  The second you touch it, all diseases will depart from you and evil spirits will go out of you.  You will be healed.

Just like the woman with the issue of blood, she had faith that as soon as she would but touch the hem of Jesus’ garment, she would be made whole.  As she believed, she touched it and was instantly healed.  Jesus even commended her for her act and told her that her faith had made her whole, not Him, nor His faith, nor His prayers because He never even prayed for her.  It was all accomplished by her acting on her faith alone.   Continue reading Red Dot Healing

Who Changed The Ten Commandments?

moses-10-commandments“Somebody changed the Ten Commandments?  Impossible!”

This might be your first reaction if you did not know this yet.  But, yes, someone, or I should say, some well known, world renowned, religious institution actually dared to change the Ten Commandments.  I won’t keep you in suspense.  It was the Roman Catholic church.   Continue reading Who Changed The Ten Commandments?

How Many Apples Are In A Seed?

Nowhere in the bible does it say to go out and make converts.  It does however tell us to go out and make disciples.

apple-seedsWhat’s the difference?  A whole world of difference!

A convert in today’s definition of the modern-day church, is an individual who repeats a prayer to “accepts” Jesus into their heart.  One of the most popular sayings in today’s church culture is “Salvation is only a prayer away.”  Once this ritual has been performed, then the whole church will rally around that individual and tell them over and over again that they are saved by grace.  This too, is what they learned and “monkey see, monkey do”.

Yet, nowhere in scripture is this ritual supported.  Continue reading How Many Apples Are In A Seed?

“It Came Back!”

psalm-103So you were prayed for and were healed of your pain.  Or, you prayed for yourself and the pain left you.  You believed that you were healed.

Now, a while later, or perhaps the next day, all of a sudden you feel a pain again.  Your first reaction might be “Oh no, it came back!”

But it really didn’t.  Let me explain…   Continue reading “It Came Back!”

Growing A Leg Out & In Again

Brian, one of our team members, was checking out to see if Andrew’s legs were even.  We were out ministering at a flea market and sitting at a taco tent with some wacky music playing in the background which you can hear in the video below.

Well, it turned out that Andrew’s right leg was slightly shorter than his left leg.  No problem.  Brian commanded it to grow out in Jesus’ name.  Then he commanded it to keep growing even further to see how far it would come out.  Continue reading Growing A Leg Out & In Again

Instantly Healed From Scoliosis, Carpal Tunnel & Sciatica

This was the first time we encountered a homeless husband and wife team on the streets of New York City.

The husband Scott sat on an opposite corner of his wife Vicky and told us about his wife and that it was her birthday today.  They were both homeless and Vicky was 3 months pregnant.  We prayed for her and she was instantly healed of scoliosis but her biggest pain was emotionally that her daughter was not with her.   Continue reading Instantly Healed From Scoliosis, Carpal Tunnel & Sciatica

Healing and Spiritual Activity Captured On Video

Don’t worry.  This is not scary.  But it is amazing!

When Jamie prayed for Gail’s hip and back pain, she checked Gail’s legs and sure enough, one of them was shorter than the other.  So Jamie commanded the shorter leg to grow out in Jesus’ name and it did so until it was even with the other leg.  You can watch it grow in the video below.  This was her first time doing this and even she was amazed.

But something else happened during this miraculous healing which we did not see or realize at the time.  You see, one of our team members, Dave, had recorded the entire event.  I sent a copy of the recording to a friend who emailed me back that we had captured more on that video than I might have realized.  He gave me the marker points and told me to take another close look at it.   Continue reading Healing and Spiritual Activity Captured On Video

Instantly Healed Of Pain In Her Hip

We were in New York City ministering to people on the streets.

Walking Cane.pngA woman was walking with difficulty with a cane.  I approached her and said: “Excuse me.  I noticed your cane.  I’m a minister and I pray for people and God heals them.  Can I pray for you?”

“Okay.” was her response.  I introduced myself and she told me her name was May.  “Okay, May, what can I pray for for you?  What’s the cane for?” I inquired.  “My hip.” she responded, “I have a problem with my hip.  It hurts.” Continue reading Instantly Healed Of Pain In Her Hip

Jesus Al-Masih in the Qur’an

230px-isa_jesus1
Isa Al-Masih (PBUH) – Jesus The Messiah

The Qur’an proclaims that Allah sent down the Book (Qur’an), the Taurat (Torah or the Law of Moses) and the Injeel (Gospel of Jesus):

Surah 3:3 -It is He Who sent down to thee (step by step), in truth, the Book, confirming what went before it; and He sent down the Taurat (Torah or the Law of Moses) and the Injeel (Gospel of Jesus) before this, as a guide to mankind, and He sent down the criterion (of judgment between right and wrong).

If the Qur’an states that all of these books were given by Allah in truth, then all 3 books must be read and believed by all Muslims and not just the Qur’an only which book is to “confirm what went before it” as stated above.   Continue reading Jesus Al-Masih in the Qur’an

Back Instantly Healed

We were out ministering on the streets in New York City and had teamed up with another healing outreach team.

achingbackI met one of their team members whose name was Leo and who was suffering from back pain.  He had been prayed for by others on the team and experienced some relief but it was a stubborn demon that still gave him grief.  So we took the devil by surprise and knocked it out altogether in 5 seconds flat and Leo was set free.  Praise Jesus!  You can watch his testimony below.

Homeless But Not Hopeless

We were out on the streets of New York City, ministering to people and met Avalon and Terry.   They were homeless.

homeless-man1Avalon met her boyfriend Terry, on the streets.  We prayed for Avalon and she was healed of her asthma and Terry from pain in his mouth.  We were able to bless them with some clothes and some finances.  As we were talking with them, someone gave them a nice warm pizza .

Avalon is a real testimony of trusting God for His provision for them every single day.  Avalon became homeless when she had lost her job and could no longer afford to pay the rent for her apartment.  This could happen to anyone today.  She is just like anyone of one of us.

Chains Broken & Stomach Pain Healed

We were in New York City, having a great time with the Empire State Building Ticket Sellers (see the post & video here) when Edwin and his wife Toya approached us for prayer.

brokenchainsmanThey had been observing how everyone was getting healed and baptized in the Holy Ghost and wanted in on the action.  Alright!

Edwin explained that he was a believer, baptized in the Holy Spirit and “spoke in tongues and everything”.  But he said that he had certain chains that needed to be broken.  When asked, he said he needed “consistency”, which I assumed was consistency in his spiritual walk.  He also had occasional back pain but did not have it today.

Street Healing in New York City

It was July 5th and a hot summer’s evening in NYC with temperatures in the nineties.

bryant_park_fountainWe met up with the team at Bryant Park by the fountain.  We met Johnny there who was a newcomer to the team and was full of questions.  He believed healing was true but had not seen it himself.  He had been watching several videos about healing and had prayed for several people but had not seen anyone he prayed for actually get healed.  He used as an example, the pain he had in his knee and shared that 3 people had already prayed for it but he had not been healed.   Continue reading Street Healing in New York City

Sons And Daughters Of God

First Servants

Luke 17:10

So likewise ye, when ye shall have done all those things which are commanded you, say, We are unprofitable servants: we have done that which was our duty to do.

jesus-hugThen Friends

John 15:13-16

Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends. Ye are my friends, if ye do whatsoever I command you. Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.   Continue reading Sons And Daughters Of God

Show & Tell

Ever since I was a kid in school, I loved Show & Tell.  It would be a welcome relief from all the teaching just to sit back and watch as other kids would bring in an object and then tell the class what they knew about it.  One day a boy caught every child spellbound when he told about ice cream.  Unfortunately he only brought in pictures and books and talked about how it was made and not the real thing.  But being overly familiar with the stuff, in our mind’s eye,  we could all taste it and hung on his every word.

Wooden Shoe Sailboat.pngThen one day came my turn.  So I brought in a Dutch sailboat made out of a wooden shoe with sail and all.  My parents were Dutch immigrants and had brought this fine specimen with them from their old country, Holland.  The kids loved it as I am sure they had never seen such a thing before.

Every kid loved Show & Tell and none were ever bored or looking out the window as they would with the everyday teachings.  It was a live show and a hands on demonstration that captured everyone’s attention and held it captivated every second until the show was over.   Continue reading Show & Tell

Choose You This Day Whom You Will Serve!

 “And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORD.”  Joshua 24:15

as-for-meBefore God created man, He created the angels.  He created them perfect, beautiful and without sin.  Even Lucifer was created perfect and was called son of the morning and the bright and morning star.  Until iniquity was found in him when he tried to exalt himself above God and led many angels astray with him in his rebellion against God.  That is when he fell from heaven to earth and from that moment on, he was called Satan, which literally means “Adversary.”  Continue reading Choose You This Day Whom You Will Serve!

Love Letter From A Friend

Dear Friend,

          How are you?  I just had to send you this letter to tell you how much I love you and care about you.

prince-of-peace          I saw you yesterday as you were walking with your friends.  I waited all day, hoping you would walk and talk with me also.  As evening drew near, I gave you a sunset to close your day, and a cool breeze to rest you.  Then I waited, but you never came.  O yes, it hurt me, but I still love you because I am your friend.

          I saw you fall asleep last night, and I longed to touch your brow, so I spilled moonlight upon your pillow and your face… Again I waited, wanting to rush down so we could talk.   I have so many gifts for you.   Continue reading Love Letter From A Friend

What Must I Do To Be Healed?

First of all, you must believe that you can be healed because of the price that Jesus paid by His stripes at the whipping post.

WMIDTBH.pngJust as it is forever settled that it is absolutely God’s will that none should perish because He sent His only Son that whosoever should believe in Him should not perish but have everlasting life because Jesus paid the price at the cross for the forgiveness of our sins, likewise it is forever settled that it is absolutely God’s will that none should be sick because He sent His only Son that whosoever should believe that by His stripes we are healed should not be sick because Jesus paid the price in His broken body at the whipping post for the healing of our bodies and that He is entitled to receive that which He has paid the price for in full.

There are so many unbelieving “believers”, as Smith Wigglesworth called them, that claim to believe in salvation by faith, but are unwilling to believe in healing by the same faith.   Continue reading What Must I Do To Be Healed?

By the stripes of Jesus you were already healed!
