In Search of God's Promises

What is the one thing we do when we feel out of control in a situation? We grasp onto something stable, something we can lean on, something that will hold us up. When the ground is shifting we want something solid to stand on. This is a journey through the Bible in search of God's promises for us today. Let's look together to see how many "boulders" He has in His quarry for us to stand on! "It is not the children of the flesh who are children of God, but the children of the promise are regarded as descendants." Rom. 9:8

Healing of stomach and head

Yesterday a young man who works in our ministry center was showing me the medicine the doctor suggested he take for his stomach, for which he has had problems with for years. After assuring him that the medicine was a good one, I suggested that the Lord's healing would be even better, so myself and a colleague prayed for him, taking authority over the pain. When I asked him if he felt anything different during prayer, he said the pain intensified. I sensed at that moment that it was a spirit of infliction, so we prayed again claiming him as God's child and Christ in him allows know authority for anything else to reside in him. When asked again if he felt anything, he said, "It was really interesting, it felt as though a bubble started blowing up inside of me, then it went away and all the pain is gone." Praise the Lord!
Also a while later, I went with a dear Kosovar believer friend to visit and pray for his sister who was diagnosed with a life threatening condition. When we arrived, she was lying down and could barely keep her eyes open, she was alert enough to agree for us to pray. So I prayed for her. Afterward she said she had pain in her head, so she allowed us to pray again. After the prayer, I left the two to be alone together. My friend asked her if she felt anything different during the prayer, she said the pain had shifted to one side. He asked if he could pray for her again, she agreed. After the prayer, she said the pain was all gone. A few days earlier, during the night she heard a voice telling her that she needed to call her brother so he could pray for her because there was healing power in his prayers. This lady follows a different faith, she has never in her life asked her brother to come to visit her by himself. It was evident that the Holy Spirit was working in her heart. After he had prayed for her she was greatly encouraged and she was much more alert, alert enough for them to converse and for her to express her appreciation and to recognise the saving work of Jesus over her life. God is sooo incredibly good!
