Healing . healing . healing . healing

HEALING IS A STEPPING STONE TO GREATER AND GREATER MANIFESTATIONS OF GOD’S LOVE !!
John 10:37-38 KJV
If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. [38] But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him.

“ALL” . “EVERY” . “BELIEVE” . “SIGNS”
Mark 16:15-18 KJV
And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. [16] He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. [17] And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; [18] They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

VICTORY EVERYWHERE !!!!!
Mark 16:19-20 KJV
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. [20] And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them , and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.

JESUS DID INFINITELY MORE THAN IS WRITTEN IN THE GOSPELS.
John 21:25 KJV
And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

A provocative comparison

We’ve pretty much established that begging and pleading with God for a much-needed healing is an exercise in futility, right? And we know that it’s not our works that bring the coveted reward.

We’ve come to realize that hearing God – through His Word (in the Bible) and through His Holy Spirit (indwelling us) – is very greatly to be desired. But how can we do so with any degree of consistency? And what about that nagging need?

I want to try to relate something that was put in my spirit which could easily be misconstrued, so please give me a little leeway! I’m feeling a profound sense of gratitude for Peter, John and Paul right now. I know I’m not a baby Christian anymore when I say that I don’t wonder how they, or anyone else, could love Jesus more than their very lives: from deep within the recesses of my soul I can say “I get it!”

When spreading the gospel and the kingdom are more important than anything the world would hurl at us – even from our own doctor’s report, when hearing and adhering to His Word thrills us more than our very life in this body, when we no longer give a darn about whatever we thought was an absolute necessity and we feel that nothing of this life means anything anymore, then are we ready to LOSE THIS LIFE.

The world will try to throw you a curve ball by saying that it’s over and you’re not ready to step into a new realm of Spiritual living and blessedness. Paul, John and Peter – and scores of other followers of Jesus – were not fazed by these worldly pursuits in their, or anyone else’s minds – so steadfastly focused were they on the Lord. They seemed to know that when you aren’t looking for ANY human reward whatsoever, that’s when life really begins.

Jumpstart listening like Samuel did!

When the Lord called him, Samuel said “Speak, Lord, for thy servant heareth!”
He didn’t say, “Listen, Lord, for thy servant speaketh!!

We can “JUMPSTART” our listening to God by merely supplying the obvious, such as “Okay, Robin, now this is God speaking to you from within you (where I reside) and I want you to know that ….”
(The Bible is replete with His messages to you. This is where you can draw from until His voice takes over completely and speaks intimately to you.)

ONENESS is what we’re really striving to experience. It’s a matter of conscious awareness and is immediately attainable by pondering deeply the very nature and essence of our awesome God…

Immediate response required!

WHEN THE “THOUGHT” COMES TO YOU THAT YOU MUST PRAY about a certain issue, be aware of the need for an IMMEDIATE response! The world – your own fleshly leaning away from God – is at the core when you decide
(1) “I’ll set aside some quality time to take care of that tonight!”
(2) “I’ll just finish what I’m doing here and then I’ll get to it!”
(3) “Just a minute, and I’ll do it!”
(4) “Okay, let’s see now, what do I need to do to get started?”

No! No! No! And, No! The call upon you was for immediacy. An instantaneous response – almost like a knee-jerk reaction is what was called for. Why? TO INTERCEPT AND OBLITERATE ANY WORLDLY MOTIVATION AT THE OUTSET !!

It was crucial that you respond instantaneously – without a second thought (you’ve already given the matter more than its share of second thoughts and third thoughts ad nauseum!)

A BETTER REACTION for future reference is to f-r-e-e-z-e-!! Stop everything dead in its tracks and listen. The Lord has a perfect message, tailor-made just for you! It may take Him a matter of seconds (or less) to impart what He wants you to know and then you’re on your way!

This is a glorious training you can agree with Jesus on. The moment you hear or feel His urging, just freeze and listen. He will tell you whether a sit-down for an hour or two in the near future are indicated. “Chances” are that won’t be necessary at all!
