If This Sort of Event ISN’T Happening in Your Church Regularly, Either Make it Happen, or Find Another Fellowship Where it is

If this sort of event ISN’T happening in your church regularly, either make it happen, or find another fellowship where it is:

“I want to tell you a few testimonies from last Saturday. These stories are not unusual; we see these types of results every week. First we went to the mall to minister. At the mall, Christine met an atheist who did not want prayer. Since he wasn’t interested in receiving prayer, Christine asked him if he wanted to see a miracle. The man said he was interested. Christine asked him to find someone in the mall who was in pain. They found a man who had back pain. He said his pain was at a seven on a scale from one to ten. Christine asked the atheist to pray in the name of Jesus. The atheist pointed at the man’s back and said, “be healed in the name of Jesus.” Immediately the man’s back pain was gone.

Christine wanted him to know it wasn’t a fluke so she asked if he would like to see another miracle. He said, “Yes.” They found a lady with a knee brace and the atheist prayed again in the name of Jesus. She was instantly healed and the atheist was stunned and in awe. The woman with the knee brace was a Christian and she led the atheist to the Lord. Many other people were healed at the mall. People were led to repentance and the Gospel was explained to them. Several of them were interested in getting baptized so we invited them (to our fellowship). We don’t believe in just leading someone in a prayer. We are interested in making disciples and bringing people into the Body of Christ (meaning fellowship with other believers and discipling them). We are called to make disciples, not just evangelize.

When we were done at the mall we went to a restaurant to talk about the many amazing things God had done that day. On the way into the restaurant, Jenny felt led by the (Holy) Spirit to a group of people. One of the women was unable to see out of one of her eyes. Jenny prayed and the woman’s eyesight was restored. Then Jenny prayed for the other two women and they were healed. The restaurant staff was watching and later we used the opportunity to lead two of the restaurant staff to Jesus.”

Do you notice how this group are from a fellowship where the leaders have trained and equipped their people to exercise their spiritual gifts? Accountability is in the reporting, and those who then begin to attend with them. I know the leaders of this particular fellowship, that is their hearts for the people.

Please don’t comment that this is wonderful – of course it is.

Go and copy it. Do what these women are doing. If your pastors oppose you doing this, then find another pastor who will join you in this. Healing people is the easiest method of evangelism because people can’t ignore miracles. Time to restore the Book of Acts!

Things to Remember When Seeking Divine Healing (George Jeffreys)

On By SingaporeChristian.comIn George Jeffreys, Healing, Health, Miracle, SicknessLeave a comment

George Jeffreys (28 February 1889–26 January 1962) was one of greatest evangelists of the 20th Century, and who had a powerful healing ministry that spread across the United Kingdom. In his book Healing Rays, Jeffreys provided some points for people who are seeking divine healing to consider:

“That the state of your spiritual life can easily affect the condition of your body; therefore see that your spiritual life is nourished by prayer, and the reading of God’s Word.

Is any among you afflicted? let him pray. (James 5:13)

This is my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me. (Psalm 119:50)

That healing, like salvation, is all of grace, therefore do not consider your own worthiness.

He that spared not his own Son, but delivered him up for us all, how shall he not with him also freely give us all things? (Romans 8:32)

That you should not worry over your little faith, but consider the greatness of the Divine Physician.

And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you. (Luke 17:6)

That you must not be discouraged if not immediately healed. Yours might be a gradual recovery.

Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. (John 4:52)

That due attention must be given to the laws of health as to food, hygiene, bodily exercise, and rest.

If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes… I am the Lord that healeth thee. (Exodus 15:26)

That a cheerful heart is a tonic to yourself and to others, therefore cultivate a happy disposition.

A merry heart doeth good like a medicine. (Proverbs 17:22)

That God is glorified and His works made manifest when the supernatural is in evidence.

Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in Him. I must work the works of Him that sent Me, while it is day: the night cometh, when no man can work. (John 9:3-4)

This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believed on Him. (John 2:11)

Hindrances in the Way of Healing (George Jeffreys)

George Jeffreys (28 February 1889–26 January 1962) was one of greatest evangelists of the 20th Century, and who had a powerful healing ministry that spread across the United Kingdom. In his book Healing Rays, Jeffreys attempted to share from the Scriptures some hindrances to divine healing.

Unbelief:

But Jesus said unto them, A prophet is not without honour, but in his own country, and among his own kin, and in his own house. And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. (Mark 6:4-6)

Seeking healing for self-gratification:

Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts. (James 4:3)

Being guilty of personal sins:

If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me. (Psalm 66:18)

Why Are Not All Healed at Healing Services? Is It Due to a Lack of Faith?

On By SingaporeChristian.comIn George Jeffreys, Healing, Health, Miracle, SicknessLeave a comment

George Jeffreys (28 February 1889–26 January 1962) was one of greatest evangelists of the 20th Century, and who had a powerful healing ministry that spread across the United Kingdom. In his book Healing Rays, Jeffreys attempted to address the question of why not all people were healed at his healing services.

Question:

Why are some of the people who seek healing at your revival and healing campaigns not healed?

Answer:

There are many reasons such as are mentioned in the next answer. All were not healed in the days of the Lord.

And he could there do no mighty work, save that he laid his hands upon a few sick folk, and healed them. And he marvelled because of their unbelief. And he went round about the villages, teaching. (Mark 6:5-6)

Question:

Do you attribute failure on the part of those who are not healed to lack of faith?

Answer:

We do not attribute all failures to the lack of faith. There might be other reasons why people are not healed. Hindrances in the lives of seekers, and unwillingness to obey the commandments of the Lord, can hinder the work of healing. Again some are allowed to suffer for disciplinary and other purposes.

God Heals Instantaneously As Well As Gradually

George Jeffreys (28 February 1889–26 January 1962) was one of greatest evangelists of the 20th Century, and who had a powerful healing ministry that spread across the United Kingdom. In his book Healing Rays, Jeffreys attempted to address the question of whether God heals instantaneously as well as gradually.

Question:

Are we correct in concluding that God heals gradually as well as instantaneously?

Answer:

The gifts of healing are amongst the nine miraculous gifts that are distributed to the Church of the Holy Spirit. The word healing suggests a gradual recovery, and many are restored in this way. Another among the nine gifts is the working of miracles, which suggests and immediate Divine interposition, so that a person is instantaneously healed. In our Lord’s own ministry there were these two kinds of healings.

Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house. (John 4:50-53)

And when he saw them, he said unto them, Go shew yourselves unto the priests. And it came to pass, that, as they went, they were cleansed. (Luke 17:14)

And it came to pass, when he was in a certain city, behold a man full of leprosy: who seeing Jesus fell on his face, and besought him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make me clean. And he put forth his hand, and touched him, saying, I will: be thou clean. And immediately the leprosy departed from him. (Luke 5:12-13)

Physician Prays and Anoints His Patient with Oil – Tumour Disappears!

On By SingaporeChristian.comIn Cancer, George Jeffreys, Healing, Health, Miracle, SicknessLeave a comment

One remarkable case of healing was shared by Dr A.J. Gordon in his book Ministry of Healing (and recounted by the late evangelist George Jeffreys in his book Healing Rays), involving a renowned physician anointing one of his patients with oil according to James 5, and in answers to his prayer, she was healed of tumour.

“I had under my professional care a Christian lady, with a tumour which confined her almost continuously to her bed in severe suffering. All remedies were unavailing, and the only human hope was the knife: but, feeling in my heart the power of the promise, I one morning sat down by her bedside, and taking up the Bible, I read aloud God’s promise to His believing children: ‘And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him’. I then asked her if she would trust the Lord to remove this tumour and to restore her to health, and to her missionary work. She replied, ‘I have no particular faith about it, but am willing to trust the Lord for it’. I then knelt and anointed her with oil in the Name of the Lord, asking Him to fulfil His own word. Soon after I left, she got up and walked three miles. From that time the tumour rapidly lessened, until all trace of it at length disappeared.”

The Purpose of Miracles and Healings (George Jeffreys)

George Jeffreys (28 February 1889–26 January 1962) was one of greatest evangelists of the 20th Century, and who had a powerful healing ministry that spread across the United Kingdom. In his book Healing Rays, Jeffreys attempted to provide an explanation for the purpose of miracles and healings.

It is evident to the careful reader of the Gospels that miracles and healings served more than one purpose. They were not only given to attest the ministry of our Lord and those He had appointed, but they were instrumental in attracting people to Christ and in encouraging faith. Let us take some instances in the Gospel of John. In chapter 2, verse 11, we read, “This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of galilee, and manifested forth His glory; and His disciples believe on Him”. In verse 23 of the same chapter we read, “Now when He was in Jerusalem at the Passover, in the feast day, many believed in His name, when they saw the miracles which He did”. Nicodemus, in chapter 3, referred to our Lord’s miracles and the inference is that they were partly the means of bringing him to Christ. In chapter 6, verse 2, we are told, “And a great multitude followed Him, because they saw His miracles which He did on them that were diseased”. It was the miracles of the loaves and fishes that drew forth the following testimony from those who stood near, “This is of a truth that prophet that should come into the world”. It was the miracles that made people conclude that Jesus was the Christ, for they said, in chapter 7, verse 31, “When Christ cometh, will He do more miracles that these which this Man hath done?” In chapter 11, verse 45, we read of many Jews believing, after seeing the things which Jesus did. It was the miracle of the raising of Lazarus from the dead that made the Jews of chapter 12, verse 11, believe on Jesus, and again it was the miracle that brought more people into contact with Him according to the 18th verse.
