Make The Switch

One prayer we are taught to pray is "not my will your will"....

We can look in the scripture and SEE what God's will is.

Large crowds came and brought many people who were paralyzed or blind or lame or unable to talk. They placed them, and many others, in front of Jesus, and he healed them all.

Matthew 15:30 CEV

Make the switch from "if" to "I know"

When it comes to addictions a lot of the time people will say they are willing to bear "that cross" when they are really giving in to their carnal nature.

He suffered and endured great pain for us, but we thought his suffering was punishment from God.    He was wounded and crushed because of our sins; by taking our punishment, he made us completely well.

Isaiah 53:4‭-‬5 CEV

After being in the wilderness for all of those years no one was sick.

He also brought them out with silver and gold, And there  was none feeble among His tribes.

Psalms 105:37 NKJV

Jehovah Rapha

No one wants you as a friend or cares what happens to you. But I will heal your injuries, and you will get well.

Jeremiah 30:17 CEV

Pray from a place of faith and victory. It's difficult to have faith if you don't think it's something God wants to do.

Let us therefore come boldly to the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.

Hebrews 4:16 NKJV

Remind God of what he said.

A man with leprosy came to Jesus and knelt down. He begged, “You have the power to make me well, if only you wanted to.”  Jesus felt sorry for the man. So he put his hand on him and said, “I want to! Now you are well.” At once the man's leprosy disappeared, and he was well.

Mark 1:40‭-‬42 CEV

When you know He is an "I want to God" you'll pray bold prayers

Leprosy was contagious, lepers were supposed to walk around yelling "unclean" so that others won't touch them...but Jesus put his hand on him!

God may use sickness but he doesn't send it.

If you then, being evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father who is in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!

Matthew 7:11 NKJV

Don't take possession of sickness. It's not yours...there is no sickness in Heaven for the Lord to hand out.

Or do you not know that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit who  is in you, whom you have from God, and you are not your own? For you were bought at a price; therefore glorify God in your body and in your spirit, which are God’s.

I Corinthians 6:19‭-‬20 NKJV

You are not a sick person trying to get well; you are a well person fighting off sickness. You are not an addicted person, trying to break free; You are a free person fighting addiction.

So ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan has bound—think of it—for eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the Sabbath?”

Luke 13:16 NKJV

She was called a daughter of Abraham because that meant she had special privileges, likewise we are children of the most high God

Lakewood was born out of Pastor John and Mama Dodie's switch as they believed Lisa would be healed from a birth injury. Until then Pastor John believed sickness was the will of God then he read this:

Pray for us; for we are confident that we have a good conscience, in all things desiring to live honorably.

Hebrews 13:18 NKJV

John's sister Mary.

Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is across from Jericho. And the Lord showed him all the land of Gilead as far as Dan,

Deuteronomy 34:1 NKJV

God told moses to climb a mountain to die. You would think that Moses might not have been able to do that at 120 but he was not frail or failing in sight.

Moses was one hundred and twenty years old when he died. His eyes were not dim nor his natural vigor diminished.

Deuteronomy 34:7 NKJV

We can go out still climbing mountains.

-Jeniro on the go!
