A NEW TESTIMONY
Dear Hal Weeks, Your prayers and teaching have on 2 previous occasions helped loved ones overcome serious illness and attain or prolong their life. In thanking you one day, you kept asking me what I needed. I Had not usually considered my allergies a serious enough issue to bother you with. You kept asking me the question and pulled the information out of me, we prayed and I began to say THANK YOU, JESUS for my own medical needs. IT WORKED. My allergies have consistently improved and at times disappeared. I correlate the recurrence of any alergies now, as a reminder to 'stay on track' and continue to take an active part in my own spiritual healing. Thank you for always remembering me. You (AND THE FABULOUS Ginny) are such a gift to this world and to St Paul's Methodist Church and it's members. Thank you for your teachings and I send my best regards and appreciation with love,THANK YOU JESUS for bringing you into my life.Paulette "PJ" Fennello

Pastors that are following their sheep are following the herd but not the word. They should feel sheepish.

A TESTIMONY
August, 1998 A few weeks ago, my heart went bad. I had a diagnosis of arterial fibrillation. I was in the hospital emergency twice in less than two weeks. The first time I blacked out, and was taken to the hospital emergency. I got all the treatment a heart patient gets, the machines, wires, patches, etc. The cardiologist was called in. He put me on a blood thinner and other medications. He told me, there was a 2-out-of-3 chance I would have a stroke before morning! The cardiologist came in the next morning, looked at the blood test, and checked me over. My heart was back to normal. The blood thinner was working, I could go home and continue all medication. I was warned: If there was any pain around my heart, any weakness, to get to emergency quick! He would see me in 2 weeks otherwise. I was home 3-4 days and started to bleed inside. I went back to emergency. The doctor didn't know where the blood was coming from, but they did know they couldn't stop it. The blood had to be thickened and that would take time. So they did blood test all night, like every 2 hours till the blood thickened. I was released from the hospital with warning: don't pick up a knife, don't shave your legs, don't ride in a car etc....For if I cut myself or fell and hurt myself, they could not stop the blood.I was told to stay in the house until the blood stopped. I was released from the hospital on Friday. I noticed Saturday, the blood was less.Then Sunday morning there was hardly any blood. So I said, "I'm going to church." I had to walk about 2-3 blocks, but I felt I could make it. I wore flat shoes and walked slow and I made it. I always sit in the same seat in church each Sunday, with a friend. She already knew about my heart problem and was asking me about my health, when a friend of hers stopped to say hello to her.This is when I met Becky Hitt. My friend asked me to tell Becky about my heart problem. I did. It was close to time for church services to start. Becky was going to sit in another spot. But she said to me, "I will pray for you!" (At this time I didn't know that Becky did healing prayer) I thanked her. I thought she meant she would remember me in her prayers next week. I thought what a kind nice lady she was to pray for me. I sure needed all the prayer I could get!!So I sat through the services, but began to get very tired, and little pains were all around my heart. I had been told by the doctor, that this might happen. If so, I was to get to emergency fast. I thought I was on my way. I was leaving my seat when Becky, the Prayer Lady, came and touched me on the arm. She said, "my husband Bill and I would like to pray for you." She caught me off-guard. I liked the idea of prayer very much. But I didn't know it was to be now, in the church. And too, I had this pain all around my heart like fine needles sticking in the flesh. My mind was saying, "Should I go for home and the hospital, or prayer?" I went for the prayer!! Bill & Becky prayed for me. Then Bill asked me, "How do you feel?" My mouth flew open. I said "The pain around my heart is gone!! Bill, Becky & I all said, "Praise the Lord!!" I walked home a little faster, than I had coming. I felt fine, all the next week.On Sunday, I waved to Bill & Becky that I was okay. Then the Friday of the next week I saw the cardiologist, for a follow-up visit. This would tell the story. What they would add to, take away, what medications I would take, etc. ( I did dread this visit). The nurse saw me first, she took my blood pressure. She said, "looks good." Then the doctor did what he does, checked the pulse, lungs, then moved to the front of the chest, then moved to the back. He would listen in one spot then move to another spot, move back and listen to the same spot again. (I would think he had found something). When he came around where I could see his face. There was a big smile on his face, he said "Everything is just perfect. Your heart is so in tune, I could set my watch by it." Then, he said "I'll tell you what I'm going to do. I'm going to take you off all medication, and put you on one small aspirin a day. We will try you on this, but if there's any problem, I will put you back on the other medications, but in smaller doses." I said, "Oh, no, no, the aspirin is going to be just fine. Everything will be okay!! For I am getting some very effective prayer for me at the church." The doctor looked at me and smiled. He said, "I will see you in 6 months."Praise the Lord!Ms. W.C.L.This testimony may be used as long as it is not altered or edited.

TRUE OR FALSE?
Some denominational church's leadership seems to be operating on the false premise that if it not broke, don't fix it. Yet their membership is rapidly declining.
Maybe the fct is it is broken and the leadership need to be repaced since it is beynd fixing.

If you want a resume of all the things some Christians claim they are doing for God just suggest He has more for them. They quicklky ifer you are saying they have less. Then before you can hit them with a proof text they dash off.

WHAT ABOUT YOUR CHURCH?
I never cease to be amazed how ignorant society is about the work of the devil and his demons.
And I am even more amazed how ignorant most of the church is also.
Although a large part of Jesus' ministry was casting out demons, how many churches make it a part of their ministrry?
And they claim to be following Jesus!

tHE GREAT EXCHANGE
The GreatJohn 16:7-15 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, cause they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. 13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. 14 He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. 15 All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you. KJVInvitation: John 7:37-39 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.) A Promise:John 14:16-17 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever; 17 Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. KJVA Command: Acts 1:4-8 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence. 6 When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 1 Corinthians 6:19-20 19 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own?20 For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's. KJVA command:Mark 16:15-2015He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the good news to all creation. 16Whoever believes and is baptized will be saved, but whoever does not believe will be condemned. 17And these signs will accompany those who believe: In my name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new tongues; .... they will place their hands on sick people, and they will get well." 19After the Lord Jesus had spoken to them, he was taken up into heaven and he sat at the right hand of God. 20Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it. A Promise: John 14:12 Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father. KJVA command: James 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. 23 For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: 24 For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. 25 But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deeds.
A QUESTION
I have been given to understand that the reason seminaries teach Hebrew and Greek is so their students can do their own exegesis.
Although they may only know English, I have heard Christians say "that is not what that scripture says to me".
If you search what theologians say you get a multiple choice of interpretations. However, there is a more excellent way.
At Pentecost Jesus sent the Holy Spirit, the Bible Author, our Teacher, who will give those who diligently seek His indwelling presence for the truth.

EVIDENCE OF BEING A BELIEVER
Mark 16:15-20 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. 16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. 17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; 18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover. 19 ¶ So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand of God. 20 And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with signs following. Amen.
AND THAT'S AN ORDER!
Luke 11:9 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?
Here Jesus is commanding born-again children of God to dilligently seek the Holy Spirit. So to claam we alrady have this on the basis of being a Christian is nit what is being commanded. It is something more - the baptism in the Holy Spirit

MIRACLES ARE FOR TODAY
want to thank you two (a prayer and healing classmate and I) for a wonderful experience last Sunday when you ministered healing to my back ache. I truly felt in a very real sense that Jesus reached down and touched me and I could physically feel the pain being withdrawn from my back. What a powerful thing it is to feel the touch of Jesus on you. It only has happened to me once before when I first committed my life to Christ. it was a deeply moving thing then and also was the same last Sunday. I have been humming that wonderful song "He Touched Me" by Bill Gaither, ever since. We have such a great loving and caring God. Of course, my back was healed and the pain is gone and I am grateful for that, but, even more, I am grateful for the experience of being touched by God. Thank you both for developing your gift of healing and ministering to the rest of us. May God continue to bless you in many wonderful waysBob. Note: Bob is our Sunday school teacher who asked us for him prayer after class. Hal

TTHE GREAT COMMISSION
The wquipping
Acts 1:4 And, being assembled together with them, commanded them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye have heard of me. 5 For John truly baptized with water; but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Ghost not many days hence.
The sending forth
6 ¶ When they therefore were come together, they asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time restore again the kingdom to Israel? 7 And he said unto them, It is not for you to know the times or the seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power. 8 But ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth. 9 And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight.
Notice that Jesus did not send them forth until they had received the power. Alas. many go forth without it. They may have some success but they have only obeyed part of the commission.
A recent estimate is that there are now six hundred million charismatics while many denominations are declining in membership.
So?

EMOTIONAL PAIN HEALED
Christians, we are aware that the Holy Scriptures instruct us that " if anyone among us is sick, let him call the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. " James 5:14. I have known this for 17 years, and have prayed for the sick and believed with all my heart that by faith God will hear our prayers, and will heal our mind, body and spirit. In spite of this, during times of my struggle with spiritual or physical pain, I seem to forget my witness to others regarding God' s healing power through the prayers and healing touch of those He calls to carry out His mission of healing the sick, and I depend on my own resources for healing. I experienced this... again...just two months ago, when I developed persistent ,severe, pain in my mid to upper back which at times, caused nausea. After three weeks of no relief with professional help, I became ill during a Sunday morning Church Service, and called upon an elder to pray for me. In a few minutes, I was reminded of a year long problem in our family, which had caused resentment, anger, and emotional stress, thus, taking its toll on my body, and resulting in spiritual confusion. Following prayer by my friend, and God's obedient servant, the pain was gone, in body and mind. I have been pain-free since. Praise God for His goodness, His promises, His healing and for sending us His obedient servants to carry on His work; and for the saving grace of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

THE BAPTISM OF FIRE
" I indeed baptize you with water unto repentance: but he that cometh after me is mightier than I, whose shoes I am not worthy to bear: he shall baptize you with the Holy Ghost, and with fire." Matthew 3:11
It appears the vital necessity of this baptism seems to be overlooked by the modern church. That it is the birthday of the church and without it there would be no church and that Christ would have died in vain.

Matthew 11:12
If Johh the Baptist and the Old Testaments prophets are less than the least that are in the KIngdom of God, can they still be in it?
Matthew 11:12
If Johh the Baptist and the Old Testaments prophets are less than the least that are in the KIngdom of God, can they still be in it?
HAD YOU CONSIDERED?
¶ When they had heard the king, they departed; and, lo, the star, which they saw in the east, went before them, till it came and stood over where the young child was. 10 When they saw the star, they rejoiced with exceeding great joy. Mathew 2:9-10
The wise men never visited the manger.
The "star" was not a star since a star could not pinpoint a house.
If they came from the east the star was not in the east.
The "star" did not appear in the east at the time of Juesus' birth unless it took them two years to get to the house. It is generally believed Jesus was about two years old at the time of their visit.
There is not evidence there were only three becase there were three gifts.

FOLLOWING JESUS
If we want to follow Jesus we need a ticket. And Pentecost is the ticket. And it is free for the asking. See Luke 11:9-13.

A WARNING
being rich can delude us into thinking we can afford to put God on the back burner or it can enable us to minister to those in need. Our decision has eternal consequences.

fIREPROOF DENOMINATIONALISM
If you want the fire and power of the Holy Spirit in your church, turn off the spiritual sprinkler system of denominational tradionalism.
FOLLOWING JSUUS
If you intend to follow Jesus don't delude yourself that good intentions or "working on it" will be an acceptable substitute for obedience.

GOD'S REORDS
There are those who believe that to do what God rewards for the rewards themselves has the wrong motives. They believe our motive should be because we love God. But the question is are we even doing the things that God rewards whatever our motives?
A QUESTION
Could it be that the reason there are so many denoninations is that their leaders are unablele to hear God?

A BIG QUESTION
There are those who believe and teach we receive all of the Holy Spirit when we are born-again.
There are those who teach that there is a second blessing called the baptism in the Holy Spirit.
For me - apart from my personal experience- there is a proof text where we find the answer. It is Luke 11:9-13. Here we see Christ exhorting children of God - Spirit filled believers - to ask, seek, and knock for their Heavenly Father to give them the Holy Spirit. It certainly must be something in addition to what they already have.
What do you think?

A CREATIVE IRACLE
My name is Taunya Dowell and I'm 31 years old. I would like to share my testimony with you on the Miraculous Power of my Lord Jesus Christ.When I was eleven years old, I was playing football with some boys and I was tackled. As a result, I fractured my left hip. I went through three surgeries and was in a cast from the waist down for a year and a half. My hip did not heal as the doctors had expected and over the years my left leg did not grow normally, and it ended up being one inch shorter than the right. I had MRI's done that determined the discrepancy in the length of my legs and one inch build-ups were made for all my left shoes. However, I continued to suffer from constant pain. Until one day in June, 1996. I met Hal, who shared with me his healing ministry. My faith in Jesus was strong and I believed in the Bible and what it said. And when he shared with me the miracles he had seen through the power of prayer and calling on the power of Jesus, I wanted this for myself, and believed it was possible.It was a beautiful sunny day in Coronado, CA. When I crawled out of bed that morning, I was totally unprepared for a miracle. What happened changed my life forever. But God works his wonders in mysterious ways. Hal and I were sitting outside at a restaurant when he asked me if I would like to receive prayer. I was a little shy at first since we were out in public but then I said "Let's do it". So he sat across from me and took both my ankles in his hands, with my legs stretched out, and started praying and invoking the power of the Holy Spirit in the name of Jesus and commanded my leg to grow. My left leg started getting very hot right above my knee and my bone started growing. My bone grew a whole inch right before our very eyes. I was so filled with the awesome power of the Holy Spirit I could barely think straight. I was awe-struck for hours. I had to go barefoot because my shoes were of no use any more. I've been checked out by doctors and they are at a loss for words. I has been over two years and I still don't need to have a lift in my shoe. I give all the Glory to Jesus and now I have also learned how to pray for others to be healed. Based on Mark 16;17-18, I feel we are called to pray for others for healing. Besides, it's not me nor anybody else who does the healing -- it's the power of the Holy Spirit. The Lord just needs laborers to deliver the blessing.Hal's comment:As of of now, Taunya still has her healing.
The approach Taunya refers to is taught by the Hunter's Ministery* and the one we teach and practice . It can be observed and experienced by attending the class and using the resources we have available..

a quetion
Although it required Jesus to die on the cross and be resurrected to enable us to receive the baptism in the Holy Spirit, why are there so many Christians who do not wnt it?

BELIEVE IT OR NOT
Belief is just a claim unless we act on what we profess.
James says that if we believe in God we do well. But the demons also believe and tremble.

WOMAN DELIVERED FROM NICOTINE ADDCTION
I decided to quit smoking by August 18th -- my 50th birthday. I told Hal Weeks I would be coming to his Wednesday night Prayer and Healing class at St. Paul's United Methodist Church in Coronado, CA. One week led to another and pretty soon almost two years had gone by. I kept putting it off because I really did not want to quit smoking. Hal would approach me at Sunday services and ask me when I would attend his class. I always had a lame excuse, but we both knew Satan had a hold on me. In August of 1999 my daughter, Michele, announced she was expecting her first child in April 2000. Her husband, William, quit smoking in December, 1999. I decided I needed to quit so I wouldn't smell like a chimney around my new grandchild. I finally made it to Hal's class on March 22, 2000 and was healed by the Holy Spirit of my desire to smoke. It was instantaneous (as I knew it would be). The next two days I could feel the smoke being purged from my lungs. I believe that if it were visible people could have seen smoke coming out of my mouth. Thanks to the healing power of God, I have not smoked since. There were times when I wanted to smoke, but I called on God to help me and the desire was instantly gone. My daughter once asked me if I had cheated at all. I told her I couldn't because what would that say about the Holy Spirit and His Power!! Now I can smell cigarette smoke on people ten feet away and I realize I used to smell like that to other non-smokers!! The day after my healing I called Michele to share my good news. It was then she told me that she and William didn't want me around the new baby smelling of cigarette smoke, and they weren't sure how to tell me. God answered two prayers at once!! I am now a new grandma to a precious little boy, Liam Matthew, born May 1st, and I can hold him to my hearts content, God is so good. P.S. Now I have gained weight so I will be back at Hal's class on May 17th to be healed from my overeating addiction. You can be sure I won't put this off for two years!!June 11, 2000 On May 11th and June 7th I had my physical at Kaiser. The doctor told me I am a very healthy woman, He said my lung capacity was the second highest he had seen in his six years at Kaiser. PRAISE GOD! For only He could have healed me so completely from the damage I did to myself when smoking cigarettes.Ann Rebuffattee

SELF-SUFFICIENCY
Self-sufficiency is a firewall to God's sufficiency. When we come to the end of our rope, H says, "catch mine."

Evangelism, when practiced, in the modern
church has indeed added to its numbers.Evangelism, when it includes the signs and wonders
of the early church multiplies the numbers.Why then are the igms and wonders not practiced?

CHRIST
To be prepared for the coming of our Lord is to be longing for it, to be looking forward to it, and to be living accordingly.Whether it is the public debt, the population explosion, the pollution of our environment, AIDS, or any other catastrophe facing our society, human effort is limited to merely slowing the trend -- not reversing it. The sin and greed that have caused these things are still present. God is long-suffering but He has foreordained a military coup when Christ returns to rule with a rod of iron.Following Christ will cost us everything, and a bill comes due each day as we take up our cross and follow Him.Without Jesus Christ man is damned if he does, and he is damned if does not. He is irrelevant.The only person whose reputation means anything is Jesus Christ. Even the Holy Spirit has elected to subordinate his reputation to that of Jesus. Then shouldn't we?

HEALING CLASS STUDENT HEALS
I want to thank you two (a prayer and healing classmate and I) for a wonderful experience last Sunday when you ministered healing to my back ache. I truly felt in a very real sense that Jesus reached down and touched me and I could physically feel the pain being withdrawn from my back. What a powerful thing it is to feel the touch of Jesus on you. It only has happened to me once before when I first committed my life to Christ. it was a deeply moving thing then and also was the same last Sunday. I have been humming that wonderful song "He Touched Me" by Bill Gaither, ever since. We have such a great loving and caring God. Of course, my back was healed and the pain is gone and I am grateful for that, but, even more, I am grateful for the experience of being touched by God. Thank you both for developing your gift of healing and ministering to the rest of us. May God continue to bless you in many wonderful ways.
Bob.

CHANGE
Any church that does not preach, teach, and employ thepower of the Holy Spirit to heal the sick, and cast out demons is short changing itself. Ywt, in short, don't they say, "Lord. you keep the change Lord since ce we don't want it and wouldn't use it anyway."
