A Settled Fact

December 6
And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague.—MARK 5:34
A Settled Fact
While on the bed of sickness as a sixteen-year-old boy, I struggled with the subject of miracles. And every time I would have a good scripture about healing, the devil would come to my mind and say, “Healing is not for us today.” And sometimes he would say, “Now that’s not for the Church; that’s just for the
Jews.” Well, I’d listen to those words and put the light out. What
little light I had on the subject of healing would be gone.
I didn’t know how to follow my spirit. I didn’t know that I
could follow my spirit. I now know that it was my spirit that
knew about healing and miracles, because my spirit received
the life and nature of God in it when I got born again. And my
spirit was picking up things from God and trying to pass them
on to my mind. My spirit told me that there was help for me.
I had been bedfast for six months. As I was reading one day
from the Gospel of Mark, I read about the woman with the issue
of blood. I heard these words on the inside of me, in my spirit,
“Did you notice that the woman’s faith made her whole?” I said
out loud, “No, I didn’t notice that.”
Then I heard on the inside of me, “Did you ever hear anyone
say that faith has been done away with?” You see, her faith
made her whole. After thinking a little bit, I said, “No, I never
heard a preacher say that.” Then I heard that inward voice say,
“No, and you never will. For if faith has been done away with,
then there are no Christians and there’s no Church. Ephesians
2:8 says, ‘For by grace are ye saved through faith. . . .’”
Finally, I heard these words, “If faith hasn’t been done away with and her faith made her whole, then your faith can make you whole.” From that moment on, no one could talk me out of the fact that healing is for us today!
Confession:
Faith hasn’t been done away with. If faith made the woman with the issue of blood whole, then MY faith can make ME whole!

STERLING LEADERSHIP

Image
D.C.L.M. DAILY   MANNA WEDNESDAY 9TH MAY, 2018 STERLING LEADERSHIP TEXT: GENESIS 47:13-31 KEY VERSE: “And they said, Thou hast saved our lives: let us find grace in the sight of my lord, and we shall be Pharaoh’s servants” (GENESIS 47:25). “No one needs aspire to leadership in the work of God who is not willing to pay the price greater than his/her contemporaries and colleagues are willing to pay. The more effective the leader is, the higher the price to be paid”, said J Oswald. Joseph stands out as an enduring proof of what the grace of God can do for a perfect, upright and diligent child of God. The expected season of the lean kine finally came. Pharaoh was prepared only because of Joseph’s astuteness in the management of the trust conferred upon him. He started to alleviate the suffering of masses by exchanging corn for money, then corn for land. In an uncanny display of shrewdness, he ultimately transferred the national wealth and citizens to the crown and saved ...

WELL OF LIFE

March 3 WELL OF LIFE The mouth of a righteous man is a well of life . . . . — PROVERBS 10:11 Immediately after the birth of our son and daughter, I took those little ones into my hands and said, “Lord, I thank You for this child. Because I know the Bible, I realize it is my responsibility to train up this child in the way it should go, and when it is old, it will not depart from it. “I realize Your Word says to bring our children up in the nurture and admonition of the Lord, and I’m going to do that. I know that children are taught in two ways: By precept and by example. So I’m going to live right in front of this child. I will set the right example. Then, too, I know that you can have what you say, so I say over this child that it will grow up strong physically, without sickness and without disease; it will be alert mentally; and stalwart spiritually.” Our children grew up without sickness and disease. I never prayed a prayer that they would be saved. I never prayed a prayer that they...

PARALYZED

April 15 PARALYZED Forasmuch then as the children are partakers of flesh and blood, he also himself likewise took part of the same; that through death he might destroy him that had the power of death, that is, the devil. — HEBREWS 2:14 . . . That He might paralyse him that held the dominion of death, That is the Adversary. — HEBREWS 2:14 (Rotherham) Jesus put to naught the hosts of darkness! He paralyzed their deathdealing power! And when Jesus met John the Revelator on the Isle of Patmos, Jesus said, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death” (Rev. 1:18). Keys represent authority. Jesus conquered Satan and stripped him of his authority. Jesus was the Master of all hell! But Jesus did not conquer Satan for Himself. He conquered him for us. It was as though you and I personally had met Satan and had conquered him, stripped him of his authority, and stood as master over him. Confession: Jesus is my Head. Jesus i...
