TRUE OR FALSE?

No minister dares ever preach on sin or all the sinners would leave. It would not bring conviction but eviction.

PROOF TEXT?

II TIMOTHY CHAPTER 4
1 ¶ I charge thee therefore before God, and the Lord Jesus Christ, who shall judge the quick and the dead at his appearing and his kingdom; 2 Preach the word; be instant in season, out of season; reprove, rebuke, exhort with all longsuffering and doctrine. 3 For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but after their own lusts shall they heap to themselves teachers, having itching ears; 4 And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables. 5 But watch thou in all things, endure afflictions, do the work of an evangelist, make full proof of thy ministry. 6 For I am now ready to be offered, and the time of my departure is at hand. 7 I have fought a good fight, I have finished my course, I have kept the faith: 8 Henceforth there is laid up for me a crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, shall give me at that day: and not to me only, but unto all them also that love his appearing. 9 ¶ Do thy diligence to come shortly unto me: 10 For Demas hath forsaken me, having loved this present world, and is departed unto Thessalonica; Crescens to Galatia, Titus unto Dalmatia. 11 Only Luke is with me. Take Mark, and bring him with thee: for he is profitable to me for the ministry. 12 And Tychicus have I sent to Ephesus. 13 The cloke that I left at Troas with Carpus, when thou comest, bring with thee, and the books, but especially the parchments. 14 Alexander the coppersmith did me much evil: the Lord reward him according to his works: 15 Of whom be thou ware also; for he hath greatly withstood our words. 16 ¶ At my first answer no man stood with me, but all men forsook me: I pray God that it may not be laid to their charge. 17 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. 18 And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.

BIBLICAL JUDGMENTS

Since the Bible does not provide a pablum rendition of judgment it is not a suitable subject for a sermon in a comfort zone, I 'm OK, your OK and that is OK with God, church.
And it is not the fault of the minister!

TRUE OR FALSE

For most Christians to become charisatic is like switching to metric.

COMFORT ZONE CHRISTIANS

Comfort zone Christians are those that avoid God's supernatural -- it makes them uncomfortable.

PATIENCE

Patience is the gift of God that enables us to adjust our schedule to His.

REVICAL

That ever sine the birth of the church, God has found it necessary to send revival to rekindle the supernatural fire of the Holy Spirit testifies to its tendency to become apathe kn keeping it burning.
Much of the present church tends to be fie fighters when it is supposed to be spiritinual arsonists.

TRUE OR FALSE?

A the new wave of revival is needed for those churches that are merely sunbathing on the beach.

Hal, Just a note on the guy on Sid Roth that you sent. We have seen golden dust many times manifest. We even had some in our church. My good friend Alice, got 3 gold teeth at a Harvest Rock conference and she didn't know it for 2-3- days because she felt nothing. I have never seen manna appear. Dan and Sarah Shepler met onegentleman in Idaho? that gem stones have beenappearing in his yard (He is a strong Christian of course). They brought back photo of the gems. They got to hold the gems. She said the colors are different for each person who holds them. Probably his film tells about the "angel feathers" also. They are generally tiny. They appear some-times during worship services. I know a gal, Judi who does inner healing. The feathers are always showing up in her office. I finally got one when we went to prayer mt. in South Carolina last year. We had supper at the owners and one just floated down out of nowhere. We are going to Lakeland FL next week to the revival. I miss you and think of you often. I pray you and Ginnie are both in good health. love, Becky

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

iF Christ is not the only way to God, as some believe, then He went to an awful lot of trouble to add one more to the list.

Man falls after receiving Spirit, sues: Claims church liable for injuries sustained during healing service
Last June, Matthew Lincoln was attending an evening service at his nondenominational Tennessee church when he approached the altar where a visiting minister was offering individual prayers for parishioners. Assigned "catchers" were present on the altar in case congregants fainted, fell, or otherwise lost control. When the minister, Robert Lavala, slightly touched his forehead, the Knoxville-area man "received the spirit and fell backwards," – except nobody was there to catch him, Lincoln charges in a $2.5 million lawsuit filed yesterday against Lakewind Church and its pastors. Lincoln, 58, claims that he fell backwards, striking his head against the "carpet-covered cement floor," according to the Circuit Court complaint, which was first reported by Courthouse News Service.…Since he already suffered from a "degenerative disc disease of his neck and back," Lincoln, a former church board member, contends the fall exacerbated the pre-existing condition and has caused him "severe and permanent" injuries. As a result of the fall, Lincoln, a recording engineer, claims that he is no longer able to care for his disabled daughter. Lincoln alleges that Lakewind and its pastors were "negligent in not supervising the catchers to be sure that they stood behind the person being prayed for...should they have a dizzying, fainting, or falling in the spirit as had occurred on many occasions before." Lincoln's lawyer, J.D. Lee, told TSG that the church's insurer, Zurich of North America, rejected an insurance claim, asserting that Lincoln should have realized that no catchers were situated behind hi

ACTOINS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS

I Cor. 4::20 For the kingdom of God is not in word, but in power.

A PERSONAL OBSERVATION

Moving from belief or faith to knowing is to move from the unexperienced to the experienced; from the natural to the supernatural; from the subjecive to the objective.

ANOHER QUWSTION

Matthew 11:11
Verily I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there hath not risen a greater than John the Baptist: notwithstanding he that is least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he.

does not this refute the belief that all are equal in the kingdom of 'god?

ANOTHER QUESTION

It seems to me that Jesus' main point was that He was the son of God. And He pointed to the signs and wonders as His proof.

When we claim we are sons ans daughters of God, what do we have to point to or is it pointless?

A QUESTION

If the death and resurrection of Jesus were necessary to make Pentecost possible, why do so many treat it as a sideshow?
See John 14 and 16

Signs of Healing: Third Christian School Dedicated in Iraq
Teresa Neumann (June 14, 2008)
"These government officials actually take their kids to that Christian school, and they perceive the school on a daily basis as a place of reconciliation, as a place for the future. And it is being led by Christians."
(Iraq)—Carlos C (name withheld for security reasons) is the vice-president of Partner's International Ministries. Recently he dedicated a third Christian school in Northern Iraq and is reportedly "amazed" by what God is doing there. (Photo: MNN) "Education in English was a huge asset," said Carlos. "These people are trusting their kids to the care and the hands of a Christian education. Adults entrusting their kids to the hands of Christian educators so that the future can be better—that is amazing. And that's only possible by God's grace."According to a report in Mission Network News (MNN) at the dedication of the school, the Iraqi minister of education representative spoke. The minister, said Carlos, said "Iraq is trying to reconcile people. And whatever you hear, this is a place where we value democracy, and everyone is welcome."While they are predominately Muslim, Carlos said, "These government officials actually take their kids to that Christian school, and they perceive the school on a daily basis as a place of reconciliation, as a place for the future. And it is being led by Christians."

A TESTIMONY

Hi Hal

I came to your group on Wed. May 31st with Elaine. I am Janice from Canada.

Thank you for awakening me to healing power that Jesus has intended for us to use for others. Your web site is very helpful and I am writing to tell you how astounded I was to read your experience. About 30 years ago I was invited to go to a Full Gospel Business Men's Fellowship in another city. I was recently baptised in the Holy Spirit and had an idea of what to expect. I believed, but was uncomfortable with the emotionalism. That afternoon I tripped and hurt my back. I could barely get to the car. As we drove my back became stiffer and more painful. I thought I would not be able to get out of the car. I said to the Lord, "if you want me at this meeting you will have to fix my back." I felt a sensation of heat and the pain left although I wondered what would happen when I moved. When we arrived at the meeting I got out of the car and walked into the meeting with no pain whatsoever. As you see my experience is very similar to yours.

I believe the Lord is leading me to a ministery in our church (even though it is Baptist). I know two women who believe that we can heal in Jesus' Name and we already have a powerful prayer group. I will keep you posted

Thank you to you and Ginny for your gracious hospitality.

THE CHARISMATIC MOVEMENT STORY

http://mb-soft.com/believe/text/charisma.htm

A TESTIMONY

I'm Sureshni, from Sri Lanka. About two years ago, I found your site 'Land of Miracles' and asked you and your group to kindly pray for my healing.It was a tear in my body which bled and actually needed suturing. But as I prayed and asked the Lord to please heal me, I read the scripture " I will heal the breach" - from the Old Testament.I knew the Lord was telling me He WILL heal me.It took about 2 months for the total healing, but I was TOTALLY healed, Praise God.I didn't have to see a doctor at all! Neither, did I take any medication - except that I kept that part very clean and used the gel from an aloe vera plant - I felt the Lord led me to usethis. Now, again I need healing. This time, for my teeth which the Dentist says are 'wasted'.The teeth at the back that I use to chew my food. The Dentist also says there are 'spaces' between my teeth, due to the 'wasting'.One tooth in particular is very sensitive when I bite.I have always kept my teeth clean, so I've done all I can. Again, I've asked the LORD to please heal me. I felt He pointed out a scripture in Isaiah that said" I will RAISE UP the decayed places thereof" I am convinced that my God can and will heal in answer to the prayers of many. I LOVE to see people healed and also to personally experience Divine healing. Hal, would you please pray for me that the LORD would heal my teeth? my Dentist is a Budhist lady. I would so LOVE to experience this healing by our Lord. I had written down your email address as well as the address - 'hittpink', the last time. So I thought I'd send a copy to her/him also. Hoping to hear from you Hal. Thank you so much and God bless you! Sureshni, from Colombo, Sri Lanka.

Man Who was Written Off by Doctors at Birth Now Shares How His Second Birth in Christ Revolutionized His Life
Teresa Neumann (June 10, 2008)
"Christopher Coleman—becoming the first in his family to graduate from college—likens his life in a wheelchair to the blind man in Chapter 9 of the book of John" in that he was "born with such challenges, so that the works of God be demonstrated in him."
(Atlanta, Georgia)—A report in The Atlanta Journal-Constitution chronicles the life of Christopher Coleman, from doctors "writing him off" after his premature birth to his second birth in Christ years later.According to the article, shortly after Coleman's birth doctors said he would never walk, talk, or even think for himself. His father abandoned his mother the day he was born and throughout his subsequent years in school people treated him as a non-entity as he sat in the back of class in a wheel-chair. (Photo: Empowered Ministries) "No one talked to me," he said, wondering why he'd ever been born. "No one even wiped my nose."
Meanwhile, he taught himself how to read and his mother "passed on her faith" of God to him and ultimately he graduated among the top five in his high school class of 1993. A short time later he moved to Georgia to go to school at Southern Polytechnic State University. One day in 1998, Coleman sneezed, spraying the personal assistant assigned to help him with his daily tasks. The assistant didn't get frustrated or annoyed with Coleman like so many others had in the past. "It's OK," the man told him.
"I didn't hear him," Coleman said. "I heard God say, 'It's OK.' "
That, notes reporter Gracie Bonds Staples, was Coleman's second birth and in that moment, realizing that he was not a burden to the world, his life changed forever. Coleman has spent the last ten years taking this message of hope to others, and will do so again June 19 when he speaks before a performance by TobyMac in Atlanta.
Adds Staples: "Christopher Coleman—becoming the first in his family to graduate from college—likens his life in a wheelchair to the blind man in Chapter 9 of the book of John" in that he was "born with such challenges, so that the works of God be demonstrated in him."
"I don't live my life in a wheelchair,'' he said. "I live my life from a wheelchair."

TRUE OR FALSE?

In my view, there are three steps to becoming a complete Christian.
Step one is knowing about Jesus.
Step two is knowing Jesus through the indwelling presence and power of the Holy Spirit.
Step three is doing what we are commanded to do by Scripture.
See acts 1:8

ANOTHER BIG QUESTION

9 And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you. 10 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened. 11 If a son shall ask bread of any of you that is a father, will he give him a stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a fish give him a serpent? 12 Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer him a scorpion? 13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him?

http://69.6.236.221/baptism2.htm


But how many are obeying Him?

A BIG QUESTION

37 ¶ In the last day, that great day of the feast, Jesus stood and cried, saying, If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and drink. 38 He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water. 39 (But this spake he of the Spirit, which they that believe on him should receive: for the Holy Ghost was not yet given; because that Jesus was not yet glorified.

Jesus died to provide living water to the thirsty but how many are dying to have it?

A QUESTION

John the Baptist first introduced Jesus as the baptizer in the Holy Spirit. This is what happened at Pentecost and it was the birthday of the church and it was the power of the Holy Spirit that and enabled the early church to spread the gospel. Without it the church would have gone out of existence. Yet many Christians today regard it as a perk perhaps but not necessarily important for them. yet, in Luke 11:9-13 the children of God are told to ask, seek, and knock until they get the Holy Spirit. Since the children of God are already spirit - fill obviously this refer to something more. Therefore, it must refer to the been true in the power of the baptism in the power of the Holy Spirit.
Of course Satan doesn’t want us to have this power. Is it possible that those who resist the are under the influence of Satan who doesn’t want us to have this power? Unfortunately this possibility rarely is mentioned in the modern church so very few Christians are aware of it. So what is the answer?

PRAISE THE LORD!

Hi Hal,
This is thanks to your website.I am not new to healing but I did not know about healing in the name of Jesus. I now have totally changed my way.Here are some testimonials I had received over the years (from my old way of healing). I intend to do better .... My goal is to heal physical ailments so that people discover Jesus, and finally improve the world... What a program !!!Thank you so much,MicheleMichele,I told you I have had mono for about 3 months. Today was the first day that I felt a whole day of energy. I think it’s the healing, I really do. I have been so exhausted. I really appreciate what you are doing and know you are helping big time. So, on the feedback, you have a woman who has mono and after a week of healing is feeling almost normal. That's something to say. Really! S.D., Seattle(After the first session)My session with you was incredible. I felt as though someone put a nice warm heat pack on my right knee and also on my lower back right side where the pain is. Thank you so much, I look forward to tomorrow.LVH, Cleveland(after two weeks of remote healing) : I have experienced a 40% decrease in the pain in my knees and a 30% decrease in the pain in the rib cage under my right breast. There has been a 70% decrease in the arthritic pain in my hands. I have not had a migraine headache since my sessions began with you. I am extremely grateful to you for what you have done. I would indeed like to continue the sessions with you.LVH, Cleveland(After four weeks):I would like to inform you, Michele, that, as of today, I have NO PAIN under my right breast or in either of my hands. I have more good news. I have also experienced a 80% decrease in the pain in both of my knees. Hallelujah!!!!!!!Love,LVH, ClevelandMy hip is feeling quite relaxed right now. I can't thank you enough for your help….I also had just finished the physical therapy exercise of hanging the right hip over the side of the bed, to stretch the sore joint. So it was hurting before 8 p.m., but now it is not hurting any more. Michele, you are wonderful.M. Z., Los Angeles. After one week of healing to S.(4 years old) who is autistic and non verbal.S. has had a couple of things happen at school. One day, his teacher told me that, for the first time, he followed along to some of the songs (not the words, but the actions) such as, HEAD, SHOULDERS, KNEES AND TOES, using his hand to point along with the song. He has never done that before.Then, on another day, S. tried to say APPLE and used the sign for apple. The teacher’s assistant was so happy, she said she started to cry!! Thanks so much, Michele. I have told a few of my friends about you. I will be in touch soon. M. A., Houston,Texas(after 4 days): Hi Michele, Thanks for sending me healing energy. I have not had a migraine this week! Also, Monday, during the first healing session, I felt a tingling on the left leg where I had been having some muscle pain and the pain went away. I then felt the tingling travel down my right leg to my right foot where I had been having pain for the last few days. The foot had been throbbing with pain and after I felt the tingling the pain gradually subsided. When I got up after the healing session, the pain in the foot was gone completely. Thank you very much E.N., Arizona(after one week)Hi Michele, I have been feeling good since the start of your healing sessions. I have not had a migraine headache all week. Also the pain in my legs has not returned. Once again, I thank you very much for the healing energy you have sent me. E.N., ArizonaThank you sooo much. I was having a pretty intense emotional week, when we started the sessions. However, I feel much more calm altogether and my urges to smoke cigarettes have subsided. D. M.Hi Michele,Yes, I have noticed a difference. When I'm relaxing & receiving the healing I feel much better. When the sessions are over, I feel pretty good & I've been sleeping much better.I don't know what I actually feel during the sessions It's hard to explain. But I know I feel much better. ThanksV.Yes, I do get the energy. Really up my arms. My shoulder is feeling a lot better. It is amazing how you do it remotely.Really felt wonderful!!!Thanks so much. I am feeling much better. It is amazing!!! I have told friends, but they can't believe it. I will keep in touch. God Bless You, J. B. Downey(After two weeks)Michele,You've been a great help. I can really feel my scalp healing. I feel this warm feeling, especially when I put my hand on my scalp. And it is so relaxing. I am truly grateful for your time and your help. I am also feeling a lot more relaxed and calm. Thank you once again.Kind regards,J. M., England(second eMail after the two week treatment)Thanks for the second week of healing Michele. I washed my hair today, and normally I would feel the stinging of the back of my scalp, but today I felt nothing. It has healed a lot. I also feel a lot calmer and relaxed. And I am worrying less. It has been really soothing.Thank you once again, I really appreciate your time and help.With loveJ. M., EnglandMichele,Thank you again for your voluntary remote healing. To be honest, I don't know that I was able to actually "feel" the energy during those times. However, perhaps more important, I lost SIX POUNDS during those two weeks, which is a HUGE amount. My appetite was less keen, easier to fill or ignore. I do feel I benefited from this, and feel like I'm still benefiting in terms of dieting.S. B., GlendaleThank you Michele.I would like to report that again, when a migraine almost certainly would have been expected this week I did not have one. I am very excited by the work we have done so far and have spoken of you glowingly to many of my friends and colleagues.Once again, thank you, Michele.A. Toronto Hi Michele,Yes, I did benefit quite a bit from the sessions. My stomach pain is totally healed and I have been eating whatever I want and have been much clearer in asserting myself!Y. E., New York, N. Y.Hi Michele,My headaches are definitely improved even when now that I'm walking about 10 miles per week. Appreciate your help... K. C., Los Angeles(After a week of remote healing)Dear Michele,My sessions are definitely working! My headaches are gone. I feel so relaxed and my energy finally feels balanced. I just can't thank you enough. Bless you.Love and Light,H.R., Salt Lake City(one week after the healing)Hi Michele,I am sorry it has taken me longer to get back to you than I had planned. But it has given me the time to know that my headaches are gone! I can't thank you enough! I believe my headaches were caused by my energy being blocked. Any way my daily sessions from you have completely changed that. Every session felt like it was working on a different area and in places I did not know needed it. After months of almost daily headaches I feel so wonderful! You are an angel. Thank you again so much. Love and light,H. R., Salt Lake CityHi Michele,Thank you so much for the week of Healing Energy, it has been amazing! A couple of times I could honestly feel hands resting on my shoulders, it was wonderful. Thank you again for this week. What a wonderful experience.L. J., Canada

PRESUPOSITIONS

Presuppositions that we have arrived at based on our likes, what is comfortable and what is not convicting will not be subject to reason, logic, nor what Scripture teaches.

A QUESTION

Isn't it convenient that Mother's Day falls on Pentecost Sunday so that non-charismatic ministers can dodge preacihng to their comfort-zone congregationon on the power to make disciples?+++
However, since the season of Pentecost is the longest one on the church calender, who knows?

ISN'T IT FUNNY?

Received from a reader in Ireland:

There was a professor of philosophy there who was a deeply committed atheist. His primary goal for one required class was to spend the entire semester to prove that God couldn't exist. His students were always afraid to argue with him because of his impeccable logic.Sure, some had argued in class at times, but no one had ever really gone against him because of his reputation. At the end of every semester on the last day, he would say to his class of 300 students, 'If there is anyone here who still believes in Jesus, stand up!' In twenty years, no one had ever stood up. They knew what he was going to do next. He would say, 'Because anyone who believes in God is a fool'.If God existed, he could stop this piece of chalk from hitting the ground and brea king S uch a simple task to prove that He is God, and yet He can't do it.' And every year, he would drop the chalk onto the tile floor of the classroom and it would shatter into a hundred pieces. All of the students would do nothing but stop and stare. M ost of the students thought that God couldn't exist. Certainly, a number of Christians had slipped through, but! For 20 years, they had been too afraid to stand up.Well, a few years ago there was a freshman who happened to enroll. He was a Christian, and had heard the stories about his professor. He was required to take the class for his major, and he was afraid. But for three months that semester, he prayed every morning that he would have the courage to stand up no matter what the professor said, or what the class thought.Nothing they said could ever shatter his faith...he hoped. Finally, the day came. ! The professor said, 'If there is anyone here who still believes in God, stand up!' The professor and the class of 300 people looked at him, shocked, as he stood up at the back of the classroom.The professor shouted, 'You FOOL!!! If God existed, he would keep this piece of chalk from breaking when it hit the ground!' He proceeded to drop the chalk, but as he did, it slipped out of his fingers, off his shirt cuff, onto the pleat of his pants, down hi s &nbs p;leg, and off his shoe. As it hit the ground, it simply rolled away unbroken. The professor's jaw dropped as he stared at the chalk. He looked up at the young man, and then ran out of the lecture hall.The young man who had stood, proceeded to walk to the front of the room and shared his faith in Jesus for the next half hour. 300 students stayed and listened as he told of God's love for them and of His power through Jesus.You have 2 choices: 1. Delete this and never look at it again. 2. Pass this along to your Christian and non-Christian friends, giving them encouragement we all need every day When you choose option 2, you have chosen to STAND UP In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is a little different: This is not intended to be a joke, it's not funny, it's intended to get you thinking.............. Isn't it funny how simple it is for people to trash God and then wonder why the world's going to hell.Isn't it funny how we believe what the newspapers say, but question what the Bible says. Isn't it funny how everyone wants to go to heaven provided they do not have to believe, think, say, or do anything the Bible says. Or is it scary?Isn't it funny how someone can say 'I believe in God' but still follow Satan (who, by the way, also 'believes' in God ). Isn't it funny how you can send a thousand jokes through e-mail and they spread like wildfire, But when you start sending messages regarding the Lord, people think twice about sharing.Isn't it funny how the lewd, crude, vulgar and obscene pass freely through cyberspace, but the public discussion of Jesus is suppressed in the school and workplace. Isn't it funny how someone can be so fired up for Christ on Sunday, but be an invisible Christian the rest of the week. Are you laughing? ! Isn't it funny how when you go to forward this message, you wi ll not send it to many on your address list because you're not sure what they believe, or what they will think of you for sending it to them.Isn't it funny how I can be more worried about what other people think of me than what God thinks of me. Will YOU pa ss this on? . I did .

MY CHINESE VIsITORS

Greetings!
I am getting thousands of visitors to my website from China. I would like to hear from you by email or comments. God bless you, Hal

If you do not believe casting out demons and healing the sick is for today, what in the world is your definition of evidence?

THE NUMBER ONE EXCORIST

http://www.boblarson.org/

THE GREAT COMMISSION

Many churches think they are doing great but they are out of commission.

A TESTIMONY

Blind from birth, Jane simply requested, "I want to see!"
We had spent the day hearing from the Linn Brothers teach us about healing. Now it was time to put the teaching into practice. Those who needed prayer for healing were instructed to rise from their theatre like seats and stand signifying their need.

The rest of the people were asked to gather around anyone near by, ask what the prayer need was and then lay their hands on the person and pray silently for 5 minutes for that person. “Be Jesus to the person,” was the instruction. What that meant I had no idea. In fact in some way I thought it was a bit presumptuous. 3 of us lined ourselves up around Jane, a tall 40ish woman near us- one each side of her in her row and myself reaching out over the seats in front of her.

On one side of her a short elderly priest, somewhat patronizingly, said, “Well dearie what can we do for you? Her reply was quiet and simple- “I want to see.” The priest was quite taken aback and the woman on the other side almost faded out of the picture. My scientific medical nurses mind said, “Impossible” Then I asked, “Do you just need to see better without glasses?” “No”, she said, “I have been blind since birth”. Then breaking through the sense of overwhelming helplessness came the leader's instructions again, “Get on with your praying and just be Jesus to whoever needs His healing”. In obedience we began.

In silence. 5 minutes at first seems like a long time! It was in that time that I heard God tell me how to pray. It was also in that time that I struggled and reasoned with God about why I couldn’t or shouldn’t do what I heard Him saying. Very clearly I heard Him say “Lay your hands upon her eyes”. “I can’t Lord! You know as an Anglican I’m not to do the Laying on of Hands and especially on the head.” “Lay your hands on her eyes”, came the persistent charge over and over again.

After what seemed like an eternity (in actual fact only a couple of minutes) I gave in and laid my right hand across her eyes. That moment for me was a profound experience of God - a real theophany! Then breaking through the awe came some more instructions from the front of the room - “Check with the person with whom you are praying and see where she or he is at”. We all opened our eyes and to our amazement Jane read my first name which was in larger print on my name tag. She said, “I can only read your first name. Your last name reminds me of the story of how the blind man Jesus was in the process of healing saw trees walking!” We were awe struck to put it mildly!

Jane continued speaking directly to me, “You know when you put your hand on my eyes, it was not your hands I SAW but I SAW the hands of Jesus. I saw Him as soon as you touched me.” At this point further instructions were given- “If the healing isn’t complete pray more, continue to be Jesus - another 5 minutes.

We went back to silent prayer! With expectation this time! No hesitation about laying hands on her eyes! At the end of the 5 minutes Jane opened her eyes and read what she said was a clear first name and a slightly blurred last name. God had not only opened her eyes but had also taught her to read! Awesome!

STANDING IN FOR JESUS

Jesus said, Those that Believe SHALL cast out demons (Mark 16:17). If you obey this COMMAND, you become a Demonbuster. Are you a Believer? Yes or no? If you have a Christian Ministry, why are you not obeying this command of Jesus?
Acts 5:32 - And we are His witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost who God hath given to them THAT OBEY HIM. Matthew 28:19 - Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost: Matthew 28:20 - Teaching them to observe ALL things whatsoever I have COMMANDED you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen. Jesus commanded ALL Believers to cast out demons.

IN MY HUMBLLE OPINION

The largest blind spot of most modern churches is that the activity and influence of demons can be ignored.

TRUE OR FALSE?

Our beliefs are only a claim unless we act on them.

A QUESTION

John 3:34 For he whom God hath sent speaketh the words of God: for God giveth not the Spirit by measure unto him.

This says to me that Jesusr eceived the whole nine yards. So, wouldn't that include speaking in tongues?

HITS FROM CHINA

I have discovered the additional hits are from China.
As of the last two days it is over five thousand.

GREAT PROGRAM

Here is a program that I have discovered that allows me to dictate text with the accuracy is it's amazing. I would highly recommend it to anybody does not have great typing skills.

Dragon Natural Speaking.

THANKS A MILLION!!!

The page hits to my website suddenly jumped from about 120 by an average per day to 2500 yesterday and is on the way up 600 today. Someones has posted my website to a large constituency for which I am very grateful I would appreciate it if they would let me know who they are.

BRGGING

here are times that God must foreclose on those things that we have bought into beyond what He has afforded us to pay for. Walking along the brink of bankruptcy on a presumed faith that results in begging for financial support is not stepping out in God's faith. It is ambition. If God ordains something to be done, He may not provide the means up front, but He will never be late in supplying it. God's provision does not require begging. If we find it necessary to beg, we have gotten ahead of God. Having to beg is the evidence that we have stepped out in presumption -- not faith.

PRAYER

prayer without testimonis of them being answered discourages their practice and reduces them to an empty ritual.

DRIVING OUT DEMONS

A COMMENT

thanks for the wonderful site! I have working my way through it over the coming days.Reading the "thoughts.htm" page I read,"Because our understanding if finite, sooner or later, we must put our trust in God."was that supposed to be "is" instead of "if"? Really it works either way, but I was just checking with you ;)Some of those sayings are quite thought provoking while a a few really made me chuckle. Thanks again!Rocky Moore

A REMINDER

SPIRITUAL GROWTH

If we can never admit we are wrong we will never get it right .

A QUESTION

John the baptist introduced Jesus as the Baptizer in\with the Holy Spirit. This happened on the day of Pentecost -- the birthday of the church. it was the proof that Jesus was resurrected and had ascended to Heaven. Without this "birthday" there would be no church and Jesus' death and resurrection would have been in vain.
Yet, many churches, although they may give lip-service to the Holy Spirit, regard it as past, or not 'their "thing."
It seems natural for them to avoid the supernatural.
What is your church's excuse?

A QUESTION

If we claim the Holy Spirit is our Teacher, Helper, Councelorr, and Guide,
should not it be normal to have Him communicate with us? Yet if we were to say that the Holy Spirit said this to me we would be regarded as being presumptious?

A QUESTION

Many churches may be a source of food for thought but is it a menu that does not offer
Convictionn
Repenrtance
Miracles
Deliverance from evils spirits
The HolY Spirit baptism?

ALAS

A church that never has an altar call is doing little to fix the fall.

A PRAISE REPORT

Hi Hal,
I don't know if you remember praying for me right after the superbowl back in February. At that time I asked you to pray for my lower back. It is doing a lot better now. I am believing God to do an even deeper work to the point of restoration. One thing I did notice is that when I receive prayer it seems to take a while to receive my healing. I haven't figured out if that means anything or not. I also noticed that on your website when you were believing God to heal you of cancer that you had to stand for quite a while before you started to see results. I wanted to thank you for making yourself available to people to call you for prayer. I have read many books on the subject of healing and it is one of my desires that God would use me to pray for others also.
May God bless your faithfulness,
Best Regards
Gary

BELIEVE IT OR NOT

Dear Hal, The lady you prayed for six months ago is ......whose name is confidential since she wishes that her name not be used in your testimonial. She is a seventy-year old lady who was diagnosed with cancer by her doctor and given six to nine months to live. You prayed for her when her sister called you up on the phone. After your prayer, she felt totally different. Her test results came out negative. The cancer was gone! She even went on a cruise. She now can live a normal life now. No one would know she had been so sick before. Her friend, Susan
