CONTINUED DISCUSSION OF SAFETY - Part II GOD HAS 3 LEVELS OF SAFETY. JUST AS HE HAS 3 LEVELS OF HEALING. A look at Healing first..

WE ARE MORE THAN CONQUERORS THROUGH HIM WHO LOVED US

HEALING HAS 3 LEVELS

Last year I wrote about how there are 3 levels of healing in the Bible All 3 can work in symphony, or independent of each other:

1. Repentance. I.e.. no medicines, no ministering.. just the healing that comes of forgiving your acknowleged sins.¹ (Repentence accounts for 90% of all my healings)

2. Laying on of Hands (ministering prayer by an elder)²

3. Godly medicines (herbs, salts, oxydative compounds etc)³

REPENTANCE

Repentance is the purest of all medical treatments. Think ‘King David’, who was called a ‘man after God’s own heart’. He got very sick after his sin of murdering Uriah and sleeping with his wife. (Psalm 38). Unlike Hezekiah however, no prophet or physician treated David’s illness. Rather, David repented as passionately as he sinned, and was totally delivered, not only from the sickness, but from the penalty of the ‘law’ concerning ‘murder’ - which demanded his death⁴.

You see how good repentance is? David not only was spared the death penalty, and was not only forgiven, he’ll still be a king in the KINGDOM

What repentance did NOT do for him is requite the consequences of his crimes. He still suffered them throughout his reign. AND HE NEVER COMPLAINED. David KNEW why he was being punished, and he accepted God’s chastisement out of thankfulness.⁵

Suffering consequences is true for all who sin. The malefactor was forgiven by the Lord on the cross, but he STILL DIED, for whatever his crime was. IF we ask God for forgiveness, we may still owe a penalty for our sins, but forgiveness is given, eternal damnation derailed, and our Kingdom position secure. Bear John 5:14 in mind.

NO REPENTANCE is exactly why the USA is going to be destroyed. (Mark my words, it’s in the Bible⁶). Because we have never repented for our national sins. In fact, they are continue unabated. We continue to drop bombs all over the world daily⁷; We continue to distribute deadly pharmaceuticals all over the world daily⁸; We continue to spread our spiritualism worldwide through media, movie, music, and magic. ⁹. (There's never a mention of these things during the so called ‘Revivals’ that are held either.. only the safe subjecs of homosexuality and abortion’.) Anyone can see with a quick look around, we are in the tailwinds of a storm that means to grow till the land is overcome and its occupants are gone. Terrible yes. So are the sins that have brought us to this point. The silence of the Church will be a point of contention on D Day.

In my lifetime, if I’ve been sick, I’ll ask the Lord - ‘Where did I miss the mark?’ He tells me, I repent, and MOST of the time, whatever was ailing me is GONE.

Here’s 1 Example where Repentance coupled with Laying on of Hands, recovered me from 9 months of pain..

In January of the year 2015, I started having lower back pain, which grew worse and worse, till I couldn’t sit up in bed in the morning. I had to roll over, to get out of bed. The pain continued through the year, and nothing seemed to help. But I watched the Calendar…

Every September - the Texas minister, Thurmond Scrivner, would come up to Baltimore and teach; After which he’d minister healing by the laying on of hands to the sick.

(In 2006 Thurmond Scrivner had healed my then-husband of Cirhossis of the liver (he was dying), by just his WORDS of prayer. No hands. We were in Texas; Andre was in Virginia.)

So I marked my calendar for early September, and when the day arrived, drove up to the Baltimore Christian Faith Center to hear Scrivner teach.

After the service, I got into his prayer line. When I stood in front of Thurmond and his wife Cheryl, I told them about my lower back pain. Cheryl looked at me and said ‘You’re worried about money’. She was spot on. We were having money troubles and our home was threatened with foreclosure.

REPENTANCE: The first thing they had me do was repent of the unbelief. I asked God to forgive me for not trusting Him (Which is a self fulfilling inevitability; Fear always brings the adverse result).

LAYING ON OF HANDS: Then they prayed for my back. 9 months of pain was gone instantly, and has never come back.

Neither did the fear. To this day, just waiting on the Lord, has brought amazing resources in JUST the right time - again and again. I am NEVER fearful about finances anymore, and have not had any back pain since that day in Baltimore!

LAYING ON OF HANDS

It is amazing how the ‘GIFT’ of ‘healings’ has been so overlooked, and underrated by the Church in America. Some of the most vibrant and successful deliverance ministries (T L Osborne comes to mind), operate exclusively overseas - Africa a favored place; India also has many ministers operating Christ’s power to heal. Why not America? Because of a lack of faith here to be healed. Unbelief kept men from receiving their healing from Jesus too. (Matthew 13:58)

What’s with America?

As one indian minister put it, ‘In America you think Indians are poor. But in India, we think Americans are ‘spiritually poor’. And indeed it is so. The Baptist, Methodist, Lutheran, Catholic and many other mainstream churches have eviscerated 2/3rds of the ministry of Jesus Christ - throwing out his healings, his wonders and miracles, all of the 9 manifestations of holy spirit. They offer instead the doctrine’s of man such as crowd prayer for the sick (which is not Scriptural); water baptism¹⁰ which does not confer any spiritual thing - not salvation - not power.. nothing really - it was a ceremonial ‘repentance for sins’, in the Hebrew faith.

Ministers in America who have had genuine deliverance ministries such as Norvel Hayes, Thurmond Scrivner, John Lake, Curry Blake,. had to leave the mainstream churches behind, which balked at their miracles,.. not unlike the Pharisees in Christ’s day, which envied his followers - but rejected his power.

What I love about the aforementioned ministers in particular, (this may actually be the key to their success).. is that they never pretended to be especially annointed. They taught correctly that we ALL should be laying hands on the sick; They taught the Biblical truth that the ministering of healings is a manifestation of holy spirit¹¹ that ALL Christians who have had the ‘Baptism in the holy spirit’, can do. (A manifestation is the outward evidence of the internal GIFT of holy spirit.¹²)

ITS A TRAGEDY THAT THE CHURCHES IGNORE THIS VITAL PART OF THE MINISTRY OF JESUS CHRIST - THEY DENY THE POWER HE GAVE TO HIS DISCIPLES¹³. FOR IT IS THE MIRACLES OF HEALING THE SICK THAT DREW PEOPLE TO CHRIST FOR SALVATION, AND STILL DOES. IT IS THE MIRACLES AND HEALINGS, THAT PROVES THERE IS POWER IN CHRISTIANITY.

WITHOUT POWER, CHRISTIANITY IS JUST ANOTHER RELIGION.

Not to mention that so many saints suffer, and die - needlessly - who might have been healed.

There would undoubtely be more Christians ministering healing, if it weren’t for the many ministries that teach their followers - ‘Come to us when you have a need’.

Consider how they send out ‘letters’ to their followers, that have a card in them. The ‘card’ is where the people are to ‘post their prayer requests’ ..for healing, ..for a job,.. The back of the card is where they ‘PLANT their BEST SEED!’ (A euphamism for pay us for praying for you) ..and then fill out their credit card information...

The tacit message being ‘if you need something COME TO US! Jesus’ll hear us.. But not you.

This Christ did NOT DO. This is no more than ‘PRAYER FOR SALE’.

(He sent out first 12 then 70 then commissioned his whole church saying…

“The works that I do shall yell ye do also, and greater works than these because I go unto my Father!”)

It’s not just that this is just the Catholic Church’s indulgences and Pew Rents repackaged. It’s that the saints are NEVER TAUGHT the POWER that THEY have in the Gift of Holy Spirit. These ministries never talk about the Baptism of the Spirit, the event that LAUNCHED the Church of GOD and RELEASED the POWER of God in all believers.

THESE MINISTERS ARE LIKE DOCTORS THAT WANT US TO BELIEVE WE NEED THEIR MINISTERING IF EVER WE ARE ILL; AND CAN DO NOTHING FOR OURSELVES.

The question is asked (even in the Bible) But can ALL saints do these things? Can all speak in tongues.. Can all heal? The answer is given in the same passage -

But covet earnestly the best gifts:

and yet shew I unto you a more excellent way.’ I Corinthians 12:31

We are told straight out to PURSUE THE BEST GIFTS!

The manifestations here are referred to as ‘Charisma’ .. something given ‘FREELY’. Thus Clearly pointing to our right to ATTAIN to them.

What is the ‘BEST GIFT’? Obviously, whatever the need is.

If the immediate need is for information, we covet the ‘revelation manifestations - Word of Knowledge, Word of Wisdom, Discerning of Spirits.`

If the immediate need is for healing - we covet the ‘gifts of healings’ - the manifestation enabling us to ‘heal’ as many as need it, as many times as they need it.

HEALING THE CRACKED SKULL

I’ll tell you one short story. One Thursday afternoon, July 2014, I went into my local dry cleaners in Alexandria, Virginia, near my house. It was a hot day, and the owner behind the counter, a Korean lady- was running back and forth between the counter and the clothes racks.. all by herself. She seemed extremely flustered.

I asked where her husband was. (They normally both work together) She looked at me and said quietly, ‘He’s in the hospital. He’s going to have surgery on Saturday. He fell and hit his head, and cracked open his skull.” She was obviously very worried.

There was a large Korean Church 2 blocks away. I guessed she was a Christian; and took a chance to ask her - ‘Would you like me to pray for him’. She immediately said ‘Yes!’ I took her hands, allowing her to stand in proxy for her husband, and said - ‘In the name of Jesus Christ - I command your head, David, to close’.

That’s it. I left my clothing for cleaning and went home.

When I returned on the Saturday to retrieve my shirts, the lady was still alone, but she rushed up to me, her eyes tearing up.. ‘My husband is home. They said they didn’t know how, but his skull closed! They sent him home yesterday’.

FRIEND, THIS IS HOW IN MY SON’S LIFETIME (25 YEARS) WE HAVE ZERO DOCTOR BILLS. WE DO ALL OUR HEALING AT HOME. We minister healing to each other, AND each pray for forgiveness of sins.

NB: When you pray for the sick, seek to remove the cause. (See John 5:14) If they repent for the sin behind the problem, they stand a much better chance of being healed.

GODLY MEDICINES

I am not going to spend a lot of time talking about the many Godly medicines. Let the Lord lead you to valid information in books, and the internet; and the wonderful Substack posts about the Godly medicines, which medicines include:

• SALTS: Such as Sodium Citrate (a natural medicine) ; Sodium Chlorite, (that makes the oxidative medicine - Chlorine Dioxide), Calcium Hypochlorite (that makes the oxidative medicine hypochlorous acid) Etc..

• HERBS - Garlic, Tumeric, Capsicum, Aloe, Cilantro, Ginger, Cardamon, Anise, Chamomile, Dandelion roots, Comfrey, Ginseng, Etc..

• FOODS that heal, or chelate, or both - Garlic, Cilantro, Charcoal, Borage, Dandelion leaves, Blueberries, Etc..

• OXIDATIVE compounds - (OXYGEN is the LIFE that is ‘IN THE FLESH’.) - (Leviticus 17:11) Chlorine Dioxide, Hypochlorous Acid, Hydrogen Peroxide, Etc..

The wonderful thing about God’s medicines is that they work in harmony with each other; and have a long list of benefits. Unlike pharma’s petroleum based products which have a long list of side effects and do not work in harmony with each other and are known to cause disease, and even kill (look up ‘Iotragenic disease’).

God’s medicines are also generally low cost, readily available, and more effective than man’s medicines. Which is why Allopathic medicine hates them.

TOMORROW WE WILL LOOK AT THE 3 TIERS OF SAFETY IN SCRIPTURE. STAY WITH US.

1. Isaiah 38:21; Ezekiel 47:1;2; Revelation 22:2; John 9:6; James 5:14 (oil)

2. Luke 9:2; Luke 10:9; Mark 16:18; James 5:14

3. Psalm 51; John 5:14

4. an eye for an eye..

5. II Samuel 16:11; Psalm 51

6. Isaiah 13, Jeremiah 50, & 51, Nahum 3, Revelation 17 & 18 etc.

7. Jeremiah 50:23

8. Jeremiah 51:25 and Nahum 3

9. Revelation 18:3 and 23

10. Water baptism was the ‘Baptism of Repentance’ of John. (Luke 3:3) It was REPLACED by the Baptism by Fire of Jesus Christ, that confers POWER to the saints. (Acts 1:5) (John 1:33)

11. I Corinthians 12:7

12. I often wonder what Christians think the Lord meant when he said the apostles would be ‘clothed with power from on high’, if they would ‘wait for the promise of the Father’. What is power, except that it is put to use.?

13. Mark 16:18, Luke 9:1, Luke 10:1, Luke 10:19; John 14:12 etc.
