3 Steps to Spiritual Readiness

Are you spiritually ready for the return of Jesus Christ? Here is a list of 3 areas that you must put in order before that glorious day when the trumpet sounds and we are called to meet Him in the air.

  1. Salvation

There is only one way to the Father in Heaven, and it is not by being a member of a congregation, or by attending a local Christian place of worship, neither is it by good works, but through the redemptive blood of Jesus Christ for salvation.

  •  Jesus answers Nicodemus, a religious Pharisees, and a ruler of the Jews, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.” John 3:3.

 

  • John writes to clarify that salvation is for whoever will believe. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved.” John 3:16 -17.

 

  • The Bible gives clear instructions on how to be saved. “If you confess with your mouth the Lord Jesus and believe in your heart that God has raised Him from the dead, you will be saved. For with the heart one believes unto righteousness, and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. Rom. 10:9-10.

 

  1. Forgiveness

With the eminent return of Christ it is of utmost importance that we activate the power of forgiveness.

 

  • Isaiah  admonishes us to not procrastinate, but to seek the Lord and His forgiveness now. “Seek the Lord while He may be found, call upon Him while He is near. Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts; let him return to the Lord, and He will have mercy on him; and to our God, for He will abundantly pardon.” Isa. 55: 6-7.

 

  • In the Book of Matthew we receive strong warning about the consequences of unforgiveness. “But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses. Matt. 6:15.

 

  1. Sin

No matter what society does we are to examine our hearts and rid it of sin issues.

  • Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.” 1 Cor. 6: 9-10.

 

These are the 3 basics steps to spiritually prepare for the blessed day of our hope in Jesus Christ.

Your Redemption Draws Near

Look up for your redemption draws near.

Do not fear, I will never leave you nor forsake you.

I am your redeemer, and I live.

I will lead all My children down the path of righteousness.

My ways are not always easy, but they are correct.

Many will turn against you. But, if I am for you, then who can stand against you?

Do not fear what they can do to the body, but instead reverence the One who can give and take away life.

I was faithful to the Israelites when they wandered in the desert. And I will be faithful to you too.

The Kingdom, My kingdom will become evident to all.

Keep your eyes fixed upon Me as many will fall.

Many who call Me Lord do not know Who or what they speak about.

The placement of the people within the seven Churches in Revelation will become evident to all.

Pray for the weak ones, many of them will fall.

Necessary Heart Changes to Activate Healing

The hearts of many people are not in right standing to activate their healings. The Lord gave me the following list in a dream concerning the attitudes of that heart that we need to cultivate. I believe it will help and bless you to heal.

  1. We Need to Be Humble

Like Jairus, we need to humble ourselves, fall down at the feet of Jesus, and make our requests known (see Luke 8:41). Acknowledging that He is our Lord and Savior and our source for healing, we must invite His healing power into our homes, just as Jairus did.

  1. We Need to Seek

We need to seek and find out, as the leprous man did, what the will of the Lord is concerning healing (see Luke 5:12-13). We need to study the Word of God for ourselves. As we read about actual healing in His Word our faith will be stirred to believe.

  1. We Need to Press Into His Presence

Just as the woman with the issue of blood pressed into Jesus’ presence and touched the very heart of Him, we need to enter into His manifested presence (see Luke 8:43-48).

  1. We Need to Be fully Persuaded

Abraham was fully persuaded, and we need to be too. We need to rid ourselves of all doubt and unbelief regarding whether or not it’s God’s will to heal us. Like Abraham, we need to call those things that are not as though they are while ignoring the realm of the five senses and all human reasoning (see Rom. 4: 13-22).

  1. We Need to Judge God Faithful

Like Sarah, we need to come to the realization that God is faithful (see Heb. 11:11). The more we allow His presence to manifest in us while we are in His Word, the more we will know Him and learn to trust Him. We too will judge Him faithful to keep His promises to us.

  1. We Need to Be Obedient

As Naaman discovered, obedience is a must (see 2 Kings 5:1-14). Whatever God instructs us to do, we must do it! And we must do it with a submissive attitude, knowing who He is and who we are in Him.

  1. We Need to Put our Faith into Action

Immediately, we need to put our faith into action, as the man with the withered hand did, and watch what happens! The healing may be instant, or it may be progressive in nature; either way, it is miraculous. But it will only start after we put our faith into action (see Luke 6:6-10).

  1. We May Need to Find Support

We may need to do as the paralytic man did and rely on friends of like-faith to support us while we obtain our healing (see Luke 5:17-26).

If we will activate these 8 changes of the heart we will see our healings manifest.

Pray Psalm 91

black and white woman Bible oceanDo you fear persecution and the uncertainty of the times we live in?  What will happen with your job? Your family? Your life? Do you sense the need for tighter security around you?  Do you sense the need for more reassurance of the Lord’s faithfulness?  If so, you are not alone, many Christians struggle with fear concerning these Last Days.

How can we overcome these overwhelming feelings of fear and insecurity?  One way to calm our hearts is to pray, and not just any prayer, but pray the Word of God.

I believe in the power of praying God’s Word over ourselves and our families. Let’s begin with Psalm 91 from the NKJV of the Bible.

  • Read it several times to familiarize yourself with it.
  • After you are familiar with it, start with verse one and personalize it for yourself.
  • Meditate upon His protection.
  • Start to memorize this portion of Scripture.
  • When fearful thoughts come to taunt you quote Psalm 91 aloud.
  • Allow the power of God’s Word to encourage you today.
  1. “He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.” It is our responsibility to choose who we will spend our time with during these turbulent times. We can spend our time with the spirit of fear, or we can make a quality decision and spend our time with the Lord. There is protection and provision when we are under the boundary of His shadow.
  2. ” I will say of the Lord, “He is my refuge and my fortress; My God, in Him I will trust.”” Declaring the attributes of the Lord is a powerful, but humble way to address the Lord. And He honors our faith in Him.
  3. “Surely He shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence.” What encouragement this can stir within us when we vocalize His greatness over our enemy, satan and all of his wicked works.
  4. “He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge;
    His truth shall be your shield and buckler.” This Scripture is visually filled with His tenderness towards us, and assures us of His divine protection.
  5. “You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day.” With God we do not need to fear what comes against us in the supernatural realm, nor do we need to be afraid of what could rise against us in the physical realm either. God is with us at all times.
  6. “Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday.” He has given us authority over things that can do us harm.
  1. “A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you.” Again, we have a boundary of protection as we abide under His shadow.”
  2. “Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked.” It is reassuring to know that we will be spared from the consequences of sin.
  3. “Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, even the Most High, your dwelling place,” This is confirmation of our security that we have in Him. And no matter what we will face in the days ahead he is our security.
  1. “No evil shall befall you, nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;” These are great statements of faith to declare over ourselves verbally every day.
  2. “For He shall give His angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.”  He sends His ministering spirits to protect us from evil.
  3. “In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone.” The angels have been signed a plan of action on our behalf.
  4. “You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot.” He gives to us authority over all of our enemies.
  5. “Because he has set his love upon Me, therefore I will deliver him; I will set him on high, because he has known My name.” This is the reason we can activate the power of His redemption.
  6. He shall call upon Me, and I will answer him; I will be with him in trouble;
    I will deliver him and honor him.” These words bring assurance to us that no matter what happens in this life, He will respond to our need.
  7. “With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.” These are promised benefits that come from personal relationship with Him.

These are trying times, and we need to take control over a spirit of fear concerning these last days. Praying the Word of God gives strength and peace to our mind and emotions, and changes our focus from fear to His faithful.

A Tsunami Wave of Healing

In a vision the Lord showed me on January 7, 2012,  a tsunami wave of supernatural healing hitting the Western world. He said, “No longer will people say, “Why doesn’t divine healing manifest here?”

A wave of divine healing is overtaking the West. Expect to get wet!

But along with this wave will be a strong undertow of unbelief that will try to pull you away. Don’t allow satan the liberty to pull you under. Rise to the top and believe.

This wave is different than before. It won’t be in isolated locations with pockets of people receiving. This wave will manifest in all places and to all people.

Ministers of healing are rising to the top of this wave. Not only will we minister healing, but we also will equip others to ride the wave.

The blind see, the deaf hear, the mute speak, the paralytics walk, incurable disease are healed and the dead rise. Unusual types of miracles are also in this wave–and it has arrived to the Western shores.

Don’t be afraid of this Living Water. It’s what you have been waiting for. This powerful tsunami wave overtakes and heals all who are willing to step in and get wet.

 

This Word of the Lord can be found in Greater Than Magic, Chapter 15, page 164.

Commissioned to Heal

I was walking down the street and a woman from the Church stopped to ask me if God would heal and unbeliever too. I answered, “Yes!” Let’s look to the Scriptures for proof.

When the sun was setting, all those who had any that were sick with various diseases brought them to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of them and healed them. And demons also came out of many, crying out and saying, “You are the Christ, the Son of God!” Luke 4:40-41.

It says that Jesus laid hand on every one of them, and healed them—not just those that professed to believe in Jesus, but every one of them!

I have visited numerous hospitals filled with sick and dying people. As I went from bed to bed praying for the patients, I never denied healing from people because they didn’t profess Jesus. In fact, I have seen the compassion of the God move very powerfully over the lost, and after they receive their healing, they have been ready to confess their sins and receive Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

One time, after ministering to the sick in Malawi, the pastors traveling with us were saying to each other, “She even asks the Muslims to renounce Mohammed!” As Christians, we should desire that people receive salvation as well as healing for their physical bodies. Healing is a tool that the Holy Spirit uses to prove the realness of Jesus to the Lost. This is how Jesus evangelized and the instructions He gave to us before He ascended into Heaven.

And He said to them, “Go into all the world and preach the gospel to every creature. He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned. And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” Mark 16: 15-18.

My husband and I were walking down a nature trail with some friends along the Cahabon River in Champuey National Park, in Guatemala. We happened to stop and chat with a man that had been hired to guard and tend the trail. He shared with us about a terrible accident that he had had while swinging on a rope into the river. His hands slipped off the rope before he swung out into the water, and he came crashing down upon the large rocks below him. He was seriously injured. He broke his leg in several places, and it did not heal correctly. As he was telling us his story, I heard the voice of the Lord say to me, “Pray for him.”

After he finished telling us about the accident, I asked him if we could pray for him for healing. He agreed, and we laid our hands on him to release the healing power of the Holy Spirit into his body. I told him to put his faith into action and do something he was not able to do before. He began to put his weight on his leg and squatted down low to the ground with no pain. His strength and mobility returned. With tears in his eyes he thanked the Lord for his healing and agreed to receive Jesus Christ as his Savior.

Our Identity and Authority in Christ

If God created the world to be so good and perfect, then why is it imperfect today? Let’s look to the Book of Genesis to find out just what went wrong. Most of us have heard about the fall of humanity, when Eve was tempted by the serpent (satan) to eat the fruit of the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil (see Gen. 3). She ate the fruit and gave it to Adam, and he ate of it too. Let’s look closer at what really happened here. This account in Scripture is more than just disobeying Daddy’s rules and stealing apples!

I find it interesting that the serpent of old cowardly avoided the governor, Adam, and went instead to the vise-governor, the helper, Eve, in order to set in motion his plan of deception. Let’s observe what the serpent (satan) said to Eve and find out why he tempted her.

 

Then the serpent said to the woman, “You will not surely die. For God knows that in the day you eat of it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Genesis 3:4-5).

Satan lied to Eve when he said that she would be like God. He was playing with her identity by twisting words. She was already like God. She was created in the mirror image of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, (see Gen. 1: 26-28). But satan was deceiving her into thinking that the knowledge of evil was something to be desired. However, he didn’t tell her the end result. I wonder why? She knew what good was, but she did not know evil. As she meditated on what he had said to her, she convinced herself that it would be satisfying to her body and that it would make her wise. She ate of the forbidden fruit and gave it to Adam. Adam could have refused to eat the forbidden fruit, but he didn’t. He was just as guilty as Eve (see Gen.2).

If we want to breakthrough in healing, we need to understand the answers to some important questions. Why did satan tempt Adam and Eve? Why does he bother tempting us today? Who exactly is satan? And what does all of this have to do with being redeemed from the curse of sickness and disease? We need to know more than just the fact that we are redeemed from the curse. We need a deeper understanding of where the curse originated. When we understand who is behind the curse and what the curse really is, it will be easier for us to receive divine healing into our physical bodies.

Who is satan?

Scripture talks about the fall of Lucifer. He was a beautiful angel that God created. Be he deceived himself and became full of pride because of his beauty, and he thought he was greater than God. He even deceived a third of the angels to believe his deceitful lie and convinced them to rebel against God with him. Scripture says that he fell from Heaven (see Isa. 14:12), but before he fell, it says that he was the anointed cherub who covered and that he was in Eden, the Garden of God, as well as on God’s holy mountain (see Ezek. 28: 13-15). But lucifer was evicted from these places and, more importantly, from God’s presence, and his name was changed to satan (the devil). The angels who fell with him are now called demonic spirits. And God has a place prepared for them called hell, the worst part of which is separation from God, Himself. His foolish pride cost him everything; he lost it all (see Isa. 14:12-21; Ezek. 28: 12-19; Rev. 12: 4, 9; 20:10).

Why Did Satan Go after Adam and Eve?

He was jealous over what he had lost, and he was even more envious of these beings who were created in the mirror image of God. Before lucifer fell, he was created as a beautiful angel (see Ezek. 28:12-19), but he had not been created in the mirror of God. The first man, Adam, was so special. He was so different from the rest of creation. Not only was he created in the mirror image of God, but he was created to have authority and dominion over all things on this Earth (see Ps. 8:6), and that included satan. Satan wanted Adam’s authority and dominion on this Earth, and that’s why he tempted Adam and Even in the Garden of Eden. And as soon as they ate of that forbidden fruit they handed over their authority and dominion on this Earth to satan. That’s what he coveted and pursued, and that’s how he got it (see Luke 4:6).

Why Does Satan Go After Us Today?

He is venomously envious of us because he knows that we are created in the mirror image of God. He knows that we, as believers in Jesus Christ, have been given back that authority and dominion on this Earth that he stole from Adam and Eve back in the Garden of Eden. When Jesus Christ took our place at Calvary, He restored humanity’s original authority on the Earth.

For You have made him a little lower than the angels, and You have crowned him with glory and honor. You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet (Psalm 8:5-6).

In Psalm 8:5, the Hebrew word translated in some versions as angels is Elohim. Elohim is a Hebrew name for God. There is a big difference between angels and God. Let’s read from another translations of Psalm 8:5-6.

Yet You have made him a little lower than God, and You crown him with glory and majesty!
You make him to rule over the works of Your hands; You have put all things under his feet (NASB).

In Psalm 8, the angels are conversing with God concerning humanity and the position that people have been given by God in the realm of all of His creation. I believe Psalm 8:5-6 is a confirmation of Genesis 1:26-28—that God created people in His mirror image and gave them authority and dominion over all things on the Earth.

In searching the word Elohim, I have found several definitions. Elohim is plural and could be referring to God (God the Father; God the Son, Jesus Christ; and God the Holy Spirit), gods, angels, or heavenly beings. I believe, in this portion of Scripture, Elohim is referring to God the Father; God the Son, Jesus Christ; and God the Holy Spirit.

As Christians, we agree that we have not been made a little lower than false gods. But, what about the possibility that people were created a little lower than angels or heavenly beings? If we were created a little lower than angels or heavenly beings, then satan would have authority over us because satan (lucifer) is a fallen angel. And that would not line up with the Scripture in the New Testament that says we have been given authority over satan and all of his wicked works, including sickness and disease, (see Luke 10:19). I personally refuse to be beneath satan!

Our true identity is probably the most important truth that satan tries to conceal from us because he knows that once we start to unveil the truth about who we really are in Christ and who Christ is in us, we become lethal to satan and his kingdom of darkness. Once we start to recognize who we are in Christ, we start to seize our authority over satan, the temptation of sin, and the consequences of living in a fallen world, such as sickness, disease, and every other foul curse that comes our way. In other words we start to dominate satan and his evil works, instead of him dominating us. It is amazing that he can identify those who start to comprehend their identity and operate in their authority in Christ.

I remember traveling to the Maasailand in Northern Tanzania for the first time. Before an evening evangelistic campaign, a demon-possessed man that I had never seen before ran up to me and knelt before me. The demons within him started to cry out to me in English (for I did not understand the Maasai language), “Why have you come to torment us?” I was astounded. How can they perceive when we know who we are in Christ? I believe it is partly by watching how we start to speak and act. And there is also an actual unveiling of the glory of God that takes place in the spirit realm that they identify and that requires them to yield to and admit defeat.

It is of utmost importance during these last days, that we recognize who we are in Christ and activate the authority given to us over satan and all of his wicked works.
