What Do We Mean By “HEALING” in Our Prayer Ministry?
In the past 20 years, people have come to us for emotional, physical, and spiritual healing in our Prayer Ministry. We believe that God heals, and only God can heal. He is not only able, but He wants to save us from sin and then transform us into the image of Jesus. His character is to heal, transform, renew, and set His children free. It is why Jesus came to earth for the first time and saved humankind from sin and death. Jesus says,
“The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me (Jesus) because He (Father God) anointed (chose) Me to bring good news (Gospel) to the poor (brokenhearted). He has sent Me to proclaim release (freedom) to captives (pardon to prisoners), And recovery of sight to the blind (healing and restoration), To set free those who are oppressed (burdened and battered), To proclaim the favorable year of the Lord” (Luke 4:18, 19).
Of course, Christian healing is real. We will attempt to answer, “Does God heal instantaneously, or is it a transformation or process over time?” Our answer is yes. He can and does both, always according to His Will. God heals instantaneously; the Doctrine of Justification is a perfect example. God also heals us as a transformation process or becoming more like Jesus. The Doctrine of Sanctification is a perfect example.
Christian Healing Is Real, You Are Justified?
Christians are justified in God’s eyes as a result of Salvation. Simply put, Jesus takes on our sins and gives us His righteousness. It is a done deal. We are saved by faith in the finished work of Jesus Christ—His death, burial, and resurrection. Our debt for sins has been paid, and justice has been served. We are forgiven and now have eternal life.
“Justification is an act of God’s free grace, wherein He pardoned all our sins and accepted us as righteous in His sight, only for the righteousness of God imputed (assigned) to us and received by faith alone” (Westminster Shorter Catechism 33).
But I don’t always feel or act righteous in my brokenness and weakness. Can you relate? This is where God’s sanctifying Holy Spirit begins its work in a Christian’s journey or growth process.
Christian Healing Is Real, Progressive Sanctification
Three aspects of the Doctrine of Sanctification will help us understand the healing in our prayer ministry. First, all believers are sanctified or set apart by God (spirit). Second, we are being sanctified, called progressive sanctification (soul). Third, we will be wholly sanctified, which is God’s work of glorification and perfection for our eternal resurrected life (body). This is all done by the power, guidance, and comfort of God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. It is progressive sanctification that most apply to our healing prayer ministry.
“Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Faithful is He who calls you, and He also will do it” (1 Thessalonians 5:23-24).
"By this will, we have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ once for all. For by one offering, He has perfected for all time those who are sanctified" (Hebrews 10:10, 14).
"According to the foreknowledge of God the Father, by the sanctifying work of the Spirit, to obey Jesus Christ and be sprinkled with His blood: May grace be multiplied to you" (1 Peter 1:2).
God Is the Agent of Change
In our Christian counseling, marriage, sex therapy, and individual soul care and Prayer—ministry, we had to decide who would be the agent of change during our client's healing journey. Would we emphasize our abilities and training or believe that all healing comes from God and, ultimately, He is the only agent of change? Over the years, we have been able to do both. Each allows God to be the agent of change, thus receiving all the thanks, praise, and glory. Everything we do is to lead people to this truth, Christian healing in real.
Brokenness (relinquishing human effort) is essential to this healing process. It comes when all of our striving to fix ourselves has failed, and we’re only left with God’s intervention and loving-kindness. Therefore, our core belief is God Heals and that He alone is the agent of change. He transforms your heart into the image of Christ. He renews your mind into the mind of Christ and conforms your will to the will of Christ. He heals us emotionally, spiritually, and physically and even changes brain chemistry due to renouncing lies and believing the truth.
How Do You Respond?
Since Christian healing is real, we must examine our proper response. How does God expect you to respond in your daily walk? There are three aspects to this question. One, do you want to be healed? Two, are you willing to be vulnerable? Three, which way are you going to run? The answer to these three questions will determine the lasting effects and fruit of the Spirit offered by God. Will you continue to be changed and grow, remain stagnant, or once again give in to the temptations of the evil one?
Do You Want to Be Healed?
One thing that surprises us in scripture is Jesus asking people if they want to be healed. As was the case with Bartimaeus, the blind man (Luke: 18:35-43). It is an intriguing question, for sure! Why would He ask a person who has been blind/crippled/suffering/abused and seeking to get well? We have found that a cost is involved in getting well, and something will be required for the person to walk in wholeness. First, are we willing to face the “dark nights of the soul” that have caused so much pain and fear? The beautiful thing about the Lord’s question is that He never asks a person to implement changes without Him. He promises to walk beside them in the “Darkness,” and He always offers a better way: Himself!
“Now as Jesus was approaching Jericho, a man who was blind was sitting by the road, begging. But when he heard a crowd going by, he began inquiring what this was. They told him that Jesus of Nazareth was passing by. And he called out, saying, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Those who led the way were sternly telling him to be quiet; but he kept crying out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!” And Jesus stopped and commanded that he be brought to Him; and when he came near, He asked him, “What do you want Me to do for you?” And he said, “Lord, I want to regain my sight!” And Jesus said to him, “Regain your sight; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he regained his sight and began following Him, glorifying God; and when all the people saw it, they gave praise to God” (Luke 18:35-43).
Are You Willing To Be Vulnerable?
Another interesting point in scripture is after the “Fall” in the Garden of Eden, Adam covered his masculinity/genitals with fig leaves and ran and hid. When the Lord found him, He asked him why he was hiding. Adam answered, “I was afraid because I was naked (vulnerable and exposed), and so I hid!”. We all have this nature that wants to run and hide to cope with our sin, shame, and pain because we are afraid of being exposed, and we do not trust the Lord to heal us. So, are you willing to be vulnerable?
“Now they heard the sound of the Lord God walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and the man and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the Lord God among the trees of the garden. Then the Lord God called to the man, and said to him, “Where are you?” He said, “I heard the sound of You in the garden, and I was afraid because I was naked; so I hid myself” (Gen 3:8-10).
Which Way Are You Going To Run?
“For My people have committed two evils: They have forsaken Me, the fountain of living waters, to hew for themselves cisterns, broken cisterns that can hold no water” (Jer 2:13).
We either run toward the “Fountain of Living Waters,” or we run to our broken cisterns of depending on ourselves. Trying to find a new way to handle our addiction /idolatry and implementing strategies to solve our problems. Peter ran to the living waters (producing life in Christ), and Judas ran to his broken cisterns (producing death). We allow fear to take over our “darkest time,” but it's “His perfect love that casts out all fear?” The result of any addiction is death. We were never meant to carry this alone; we need Jesus, who offers more than we can imagine. We were created to be dependent on God. But Jesus is not codependent in any way. He initiates the healing, but He does require us to respond to what He is doing. Moreover, say to Him, I trust You to heal me and walk with me in my “darkest hours.” No matter how I feel, I will not give up. I will always run to You!
Back To How Does God Heal?
So, now we return to our original question. “Does God heal instantaneously, or is it a process or transformation over some time?” The answer is that God can heal instantaneously and as a transformation process. Sometimes, God doesn’t heal the body, especially how we think He should. The Apostle Paul prayed to remove a thorn in his flesh three times. God did not, but He said His grace would be sufficient and magnified in Paul’s weakness.
“Because of the extraordinary greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given to me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself. Concerning this, I pleaded with the Lord three times that it might leave me. And He has said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for power is perfected in weakness” (2 Corinthians 12:7-9).
Everything is according to His Sovereign Will and is determined by what is best for each of His children.
CHRISTIAN HEALING IS REAL
As you have read, Salvation resulting in Justification is instantaneous and eternal healing, restoration, and redemption of the soul and spirit. Even though the power of sin and death has been broken and we are set free, we can still struggle with our daily walk. Most of the healing we see is part of an all-encompassing journey to know and experience the Holy Trinity. It is a growth process that changes us into the image of Jesus. This transformation requires active participation with the Holy Spirit; we should not be passive or apathetic. We are not to be conformed by this world, the old life, but transformed by renewal and growth in Christ.
“And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect” (Romans 12:2).
This progressive sanctification process takes us from faith to faith, grace upon grace, and glory to glory.
“For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and also to the Greek. For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith; as it is written: “But the righteous one will live by faith” (Romans 1:16, 17). “For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace” (John 1:16). “But we all, with unveiled faces, looking as in a mirror at the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from glory to glory, just as from the Lord, the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18).
Healing Similar To Salvation
We believe that the Christian healing that is real is similar to what happens at Salvation. We have concluded that God heals broken people, similar to how He saves them. The cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ were sufficient to save the entire human race. Is everyone saved? No! Why? Because God requires everyone to appropriate this Salvation by responding to what God has sovereignly done, in this case, believing by faith in Jesus Christ. The Theological Foundation for this is called “the Proveniences of God,” or God going before us.
“No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him, and I will raise him up on the last day” (John 6:44).
A.W. Tozer, in his book The Pursuit of God, states,
“We pursue God because, and only because, He has first put an urge within us that spurs us to the pursuit . . . and it is by this prevenient drawing that God takes from us every vestige of credit for the act of coming (in our context healing and transformation).”
The critical Biblical truth here is God initiates.
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we would be holy and blameless before Him. In love, He predestined us to adoption as sons and daughters through Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will, to the praise of the glory of His grace, with which He favored us in the Beloved. In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of our wrongdoings, according to the riches of His grace which He lavished on us. In all wisdom and insight” (Ephesians 1:3-9).
He is the One who draws you to Jesus and chooses you, “You did not choose me, but I chose you” (John 15:16). Then His children respond.
“In Him, we also have obtained an inheritance, having been predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things in accordance with the plan of His will, to the end, that we who were the first to hope in the Christ would be to the praise of His glory. In Him, you also, after listening to the message of truth, the gospel of your salvation—having also believed, you were sealed in Him with the Holy Spirit of the promise, who is a first installment of our inheritance, in regard to the redemption of God’s own possession, to the praise of His glory” (Ephesians 1:13-14).
God changes your heart so that your will (the core of your being) chooses Him. Here are three Scriptures demonstrating God’s initiation and a believer’s response.
“For God so loved the world (He initiates by loving), that He gave His only begotten Son (He initiates by giving), that whoever believes in Him (we respond by believing) should not perish but have eternal life (God fulfills His promise)” (John 3:16).
“For by grace (God initiates grace) you have been saved through faith (we respond by faith); and that not of yourselves, it is a gift of God (He initiates the gift of salvation); not as a result of works, that no one should boast (works and boasting is an inappropriate response)” (Ephesians 2:8, 9).
“We love Him (we respond by loving) because He first loved us (God initiated loving us first)” (1 John 4:19).
We see God initiating, loving, giving His Son and grace, and fulfilling His promise of salvation/eternal life. We see people responding or appropriating what God is doing in them by belief, faith, and love. This same concept of God initiating and people responding applies to emotional, physical, and spiritual healing. God initiates healing through His love, grace, and son—Jesus; therefore, we appropriate or receive His healing by responding to Him by believing with faith in love. He allows temptation to provide the crisis or disruption that demands movement a response toward God or away from Him.
What are the reactions to God’s initiation that do not bear fruit or the appearance of healing? According to the preceding scriptures, inappropriate reactions to God are works, self-effort, unbelief, doubt, and boasting or pride. Therefore, we believe God heals (instantaneous or a transformative process); how we respond to God’s gift of healing determines what it looks like and how it plays out in our personalities, behaviors, intimacy, and relationships. Therefore, God calls you to take all temptations, sins, and brokenness to Him. The following will help you see where you are at this present moment and how you respond to God after healing with CHP and/or GIP.
Online Courses for Intimate Lives
We have used our education, spiritual gifts, and the guidance of the Holy Spirit to develop in-home protocols through online courses. They are designed to teach, show, and guide our clients on how to be intimate with God and each other. They reinforce the underlying concept that Christian healing is real and is a part of God's loving-kindness. All require healing or restoration in the body and soul (mind, heart, will) and even some fine-tuning in our spirit. In this way, individuals and couples grow through intimate experiences with the Holy Trinity. These allow you to practice and experience intimacy. The following is a list of our online courses that utilize His Word and Presence as the source for transformation and healing: Christian (Body-Soul-Spirit) Healing Prayer (CHP) (personal ministry), God’s Intimacy Prayer (GIP), Spirituality and Sexuality, Seven Christian Being Disciplines, Identity “IN” Christ (40-day meditation).
God’s Intimacy Prayer
Spirituality & Sexuality
7 Christian Disciplines
40-Day Meditation On Identity
Divine Desire-Married Edition
These are the ultimate Christian online courses on learning to be intimate with God, and your spouse if you’re married. Not just knowing about Him, but experiencing Him, allowing Him to influence and transform your heart, marriage, family, church, and world. Any of these can be used daily to bring intimacy, experience God’s presence, and transformation that brings about His REST, PEACE, and GRACE.
“Come to Me, all who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is comfortable, and My burden is light” (Matthew 11:28-30).
“Rejoice in the Lord always; again I will say, rejoice! Let your gentle spirit be known to all people. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and pleading with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus” (Philippians 4:4-7).
“Therefore let’s approach the throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace for help at the time of our need” (Hebrews 4:16).
More specifically, they are pathways or guides that help you run to God during pain and disappointment, even when you don’t trust or like Him. Let’s be honest; we have all felt that God has let us down somehow. In these times, the last thing we want to do is humble ourselves or be vulnerable.
I am not suggesting these are the only ways to run to God; there is no formula; God cannot be put in a box. They are not to be followed to get God to move on your behalf but more of a response to God’s calling, “Come to Me, and I will give you rest.” They allow you to be in God’s presence and hear His Voice even when you’re in pain, feel shame, depressed, wounded, angry, or fearful, and want to run away from Him. It has assured me that God is trustworthy and willing to heal my pain and carry me in my brokenness. Every time I have run to the Holy Trinity, I have been welcomed with open arms, and hope arises within me. Another aspect of our ministry is hands-on healing Prayer.

Christian (Body/Soul/Spirit) Healing Prayer
In our second method of ministry, the goal is to let God heal trauma, deep pains, and fear that make it difficult to trust or even run to God. We call this Christian (Body/Soul/Spirit) Healing Prayer (CHP). We asked the Lord; how can we be used to participate in and reinforce the truth that Christian healing is real, and all Glory be given to You?
"Our need for our clients was to find a method of healing that would deal with the physical, emotional, and spiritual aspects of their dysfunctions and traumas. Therefore, we use a protocol we call Christian (Mind-Body-Soul) Healing Prayer (CHP). It incorporates God’s Word (Biblical), healing prayer (Biblical), anointing with essential oils (Biblical), laying on of hands (Biblical), Thought Field Therapy (psychology), Bi-lateral Brain Hemisphere (EMDR-psychiatric), Neuro-Emotional Technique (chiropractic), muscle testing (applied kinesiology), forgiveness-cleansing-beliefs (Biblical), listening prayer (Biblical), spiritual gifts (Biblical), and releasing strongholds (Biblical spiritual warfare). This allows God to replace all lies, coping strategies, and darkness and replace them with His presence, truth (Word), and light. We have found this to be the most effective way to deal with sexual, physical, emotional, spiritual, psychological, abandonment, abuse, trauma issues, dissociation, identity disorders, post-traumatic stress, and memory recovery. Also, all of these protocols allow God to be the agent of change. He is the One who heals according to His perfect will and we by faith respond to what He has so mercifully done."
We use this method when clients are stuck and frozen in destructive patterns, coping strategies, compulsions, and addictions. Simply, when they have built up walls that keep pain in and God out. Or when they have not resolved past trauma, which has now raised its ugly head in their intimacy. When we believe the lies of the enemy, strongholds are formed. Strongholds or fortresses allow evil to exploit, deceive, harass, and torment. As you might expect, this would harm any couple's relationship in their marriage, especially their intimacy, and distorts masculine and feminine souls. Believing lies also destroys your intimacy with God.
When traumas, abuses, and addictions occur our lives become unmanageable. The enemy attempts to capitalize on our innocence, vulnerability, and sin by offering deals or bargains. It is similar to his style of tempting Jesus in the desert (Matthew 4:1-11).
“Then Jesus was led up by the Spirit into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil. And after He had fasted for forty days and forty nights, He then became hungry. And the tempter came and said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, command that these stones become bread.” But He answered and said, “It is written: ‘Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes out of the mouth of God.’ ”Then the devil took Him along into the holy city and had Him stand on the pinnacle of the temple, and he said to Him, “If You are the Son of God, throw Yourself down; for it is written: ‘He will give His angels orders concerning You’; and ‘On their hands, they will lift You up, So that You do not strike Your foot against a stone.’” Jesus said to him, “On the other hand, it is written: ‘You shall not put the Lord your God to the test.’” Again, the devil took Him along to a very high mountain and showed Him all the kingdoms of the world and their glory; and he said to Him, “All these things I will give You, if You fall down and worship me.” Then Jesus said to him, “Go away, Satan! For it is written: ‘You shall worship the Lord your God, and serve Him only.’” Then the devil left Him; and behold, angels came and began to serve Him” (Matthew 4:1-11).
In our moments of fear, pain, or anger, the enemy offers coping strategies, and he makes false promises to us. Our hearts and minds can be deceived. We believe in lies and make vows or even formal agreements with Him. They end up supporting negative thoughts, false belief systems, and damaging behaviors in our lives through enemy strongholds used to harass and keep us deceived. Every person is susceptible to this temptation, especially when faced with abusive or traumatic life events. For more information, go to the website below.

Two Intimacy Experiences
I would like to challenge you to do the following two intimacy experiences. They will help you look at your motives, responses, attitudes, behaviors, and belief systems toward healing.
One, What Is Your Response?
Get out your journal and answer the following questions. Pray before you start and ask God to lead you. Write down your answers to the following nine (9) questions. After you write down your thoughts, ask the Lord what He wants to say. Don’t be in a hurry; contemplate what's in your heart and mind. If you can’t hear from the Lord, the course on God’s Intimacy Prayer would greatly benefit you. Write it all down in a journal.
1. One, do you want to be healed? Are willing to take on your new responsibilities and respond to God in your new-found freedom.
2. Two, are you willing to be vulnerable or exposed? God can only heal you when you allow
yourself to be broken and see your total dependence on Him.
3. Three, which way are you going to run? Will you begin to run to God (fountains of living waters), not away from Him (broken cisterns) (Jer 2:13)? Are you willing to learn how to run to God by using God’s Intimacy Prayer?
4. Four, as God shows up to comfort and transforms you, see He becomes more important than the actual healing or circumstances, you are trying to change (Heb 12:3).
“For consider Him who has endured such hostility by sinners against Himself, so that you will not grow weary and lose heart (Hebrews 12:3).
5. Five, you begin to practice hearing God’s voice of love and grace and responding to it becomes your heart's desire (Jn 10:14-18).
“I am the good shepherd, and I know My own, and My own know Me,
6. Six, you begin looking for the movement of God’s Spirit and desire to become a part of what He is doing; you stop asking God to become a part of what you are doing.
“In Him (Jesus) we live and move and have our being (very existence)” (Acts 17:28)
7. Seven, you begin to remember and rest in what God has already done with a thankful heart and stop trying to get Him to do more according to your needs, wants, or desires.
“How long, Lord? Will You forget me forever? How long will You hide Your face from me How long am I to feel anxious in my soul, With grief in my heart all day? How long will my enemy be exalted over me? Consider and answer me, O Lord my God; Enlighten my eyes, or I will sleep the sleep of death, And my enemy will say, “I have overcome him,” And my adversaries will rejoice when I am shaken. But I have trusted in Your faithfulness; My heart shall rejoice in Your salvation. I will sing to the Lord Because He has looked after me” (Psalm 13).
8. Eight, you learn to rejoice that He is faithful even when you are not.
“If we are faithless, He remains faithful, for He cannot deny Himself” (2 Timothy 2:13).
and that He has already given you everything you need for life and godliness.
“Grace and peace be multiplied to you in the knowledge of God and of Jesus Lord, for His divine power has granted to us everything pertaining to life and godliness, through the true knowledge of Him who called us by His own glory and excellence. Through these, He has granted to us His precious and magnificent promises, so that by them you may become partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world on account of lust” (2 Peter 1:2-4).
9. Nine, putting others first becomes more important than self; you become God-centered and others-centered—not self-centered.
“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. (Philippians 2:3-4).
Two, Examine Your Motives
I now want you to examine your motives, longings, and desires and go deeper into your heart, mind, soul, and spirit. The following seven (7) questions are about why you choose healing, restoration, and redemption rather than how you respond. These will help you to transition from “self-focus” to “God-focus,” which leads to Christian formation and proper responses and restores the true character of the Holy Trinity living in and through you. You can’t do anything of lasting value without the movement of the Holy Spirit in your own lives. You are created in His image (imago Dei) to represent God as either a masculine or feminine soul. God is committed to guiding you through your healing and progressive sanctification.
1. Am I more concerned with or excited about God’s healing and blessings than I am about
His presence and intimacy—a love relation?
2. Do I run to God only to fix my problems or struggles or help me to feel better, or am I
open to embracing what the Spirit of God is doing in me as a new creation in Christ?
3. Am I committed to eliminating discomfort and crisis (pain), or do I embrace it as the first
step of knowing God intimately, leading to heart recovery, healing, and Christian formation (sanctification)?
4. Ask yourself, is there anything else I can do to help myself (self-effort, coping mechanisms, trying harder, another formula or strategy)? Or am I completely at the end
of my rope and broken before God leading to complete dependency on the sufficiency of Jesus?
5. What is more necessary or essential:
a. obedience FOR God’s approval or faith FROM God’s blessing,
b. healing or intimacy,
c. being right and exercising my free will, or being genuinely free?
6. Do I believe:
a. that “nothing can separate me from the love of God,”
b. and that I am secure in my Salvation, restoration, and redemption,
c. what is the foundation for physical, emotional, and spiritual healing?
“Now, in the same way, the Spirit also helps our weakness; for we do not know what to pray for as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us with groanings too deep for words; and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God. And we know that God causes all things to work together for good to those who love God, to those who are called according to His purpose. For those whom He foreknew, He also predestined to become conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many brothers and sisters; and these whom He predestined, He also called; and these whom He called, He also justified; and these whom He justified, He also glorified. What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who is against us? He who did not spare His own Son, but delivered Him over for us all, how will He not also with Him freely give us all things? Who will bring charges against God’s elect? God is the one who justifies; who is the one who condemns? Christ Jesus is He who died, but rather, was raised, who is at the right hand of God, who also intercedes for us. Who will separate us from the love of Christ? Will tribulation, or trouble, or persecution, or famine, or nakedness, or danger, or sword? Just as it is written: “For Your sake we are killed all day long; We were regarded as sheep to be slaughtered.” But in all these things we overwhelmingly conquer through Him who loved us. For I am convinced that neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor principalities, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord” (Romans 8:26-39)
7. Do I manage and control my life, or do I embrace life “adventurously expectant, greeting God with a childlike ‘What’s next, Papa?’”?
"For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons and daughters of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons and daughters by which we cry out, “Abba! Father!” The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him” (Romans 8:14-17).
8. Will I allow God to disciple, guide, and control my journey toward wholeness?
In conclusion, God is the only One who can heal. He does so according to His sovereign will and purposes.
He calls His children to run to the living waters and drink freely.
He offers Salvation and healing as a free gift of His choosing.
He calls us to respond to His initiation of grace through believing by faith and trusting in the Holy Trinity.
God the Father draws you to Jesus.
Jesus sets you free. God, the Holy Spirit, gives you life.
All praise and glory to God Almighty Bill & Janean Fuller
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW GOD INTIMATELY AND FEEL HIS LOVING PRESENCE?
This is the ultimate Christian online course on learning how to be intimate with God, not just knowing about Him, but to experience Him so He influences your heart, your marriage, family, church, and world.
JESUS PLUS NOTHING SAVES YOU
This is a detailed discussion on who Jesus is and how you get saved!
We All Have the Same Dilemma, We're Dead in Sin
Every human being, ethnic group, race, or gender finds themselves in this same dilemma. Therefore, there are three questions you would be wise to ask yourself and extremely prudent to answer.
One, why do I need to be saved?
Two, what does it mean for me to be saved?
Three, how am I saved?
I believe Only Jesus plus nothing not only saves you but answers these three questions.
