Dear Family in Christ,
Please read the below verses over you as a medication you administer into your body, take this into your heart. You will see the healing miracles unfold in your life! Stay blessed
Thanks to Pastor.Michele Cambric for compiling the list for all of us. May the LORD bless Pastor Michele abundantly
Jesus is Lord of my life; sickness and disease have no power over me. I am forgiven and free from sin & guilt.
I am dead to sin and alive unto righteousness (Col. 1:21,
22).
• Jesus bore my sins in His Body on the tree, therefore
I am dead to sin and alive unto God, and by His stripes
I am healed and made whole. (1 Pet. 2:24, Rom. 6:11, 2
Cor. 5:21). Jesus bore my sickness and carried my pain.
Therefore, I give no place to sickness or pain. For God
sent His word and healed me (Ps. 107:20).
• You have given me abundant life; I receive that life
through Your Word and it flows to every organ of my
body, bringing healing and health (John 10:10, John
6:63).
• Heavenly Father, I attend to Your Word. I incline my ear
to Your sayings. I will not let them depart from my eyes. I
keep them in the midst of my heart, for they are life and
healing to all my flesh (Prov. 4:20-22).
• As God was with Moses, so He is with me. My eyes are not
dim and neither are my natural forces abated. Blessed are
my eyes for they see and my ears for they hear (Deut.34:7).
• No evil will befall me, neither shall any plague come near
my dwelling. For You have given your angels charge over
me. They keep me in all my ways. In my pathway is life,
healing and health (Ps. 91:10-11, Prov. 12:28).
• Jesus took my infirmities and bore my sickness. Therefore,
I refuse to allow sickness or pain to dominate my body.
The Life of God flows within me bringing healing to every
fiber of my being (Matt. 8:17, John 6:63).
• I am redeemed from the curse. Gal. 3:13 is flowing in my
blood stream. It flows to every cell of my body, restoring
life and health.
• The life of I Peter 2:24 is a reality in my flesh, restoring
every cell of my body.
• I present my body to God, for it is the temple of the Living
God. God dwells in me and His Life permeates my spirit,
soul, and body so that I am filled with the fullness of God
daily (Rom. 12:1-2, John 14:20).
• My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost. I make a
demand on my body to release the right chemicals.
My body is in perfect chemical balance. My pancreas
secretes the proper amount of insulin for life and health
(I Cor. 6:19).
• Heavenly Father, through Your Word You have imparted
Your life to me. That life restores my body with every
breath I breathe and every word I speak (John 6:63,
Mark 11:23).
• That which God has not planted is dissolved and
rooted out of my body in Jesus Name. 1st Peter 2:24
is engrafted into every fiber of my being, and I am alive
with the life of God (Mark 11:23, John 6:63).
• Jesus bore the curse for me; therefore I forbid growths
and tumors to inhabit my body. The life of God within
me dissolves growths and tumors, and my strength and
health is restored.
• Growths and tumors have no right in my body. They are
a thing of the past for I am delivered from the authority
of darkness (Col. 1:13,14).
• Every organ and tissue of my body functions in the
perfection that God created it to function. I forbid any
malfunction in my body in Jesus Name (Gen. 1:28-31).
• Your Word is manifest in my body, causing growths
to disappear. Arthritis is a thing of the past. I make
demands on my bones and joints to function properly
in Jesus Name (Mark 11:23).
• Thank You, Father, that I have a strong heart and lungs.
My heart and lungs beat with the rhythm of life. My
blood flows to every cell of my body restoring life and
health abundantly (Prov. 12:14).
• I have a strong heart. Every heartbeat floods my body
with life and cleanses me of disease and pain (Ex. 23:25,
Mark 11:23)
• I command my blood cells to destroy every disease
germ and virus that tries to inhabit my body. I command
every cell of my body to be normal in Jesus Name (Rom.
5:17, Luke 17:6).
• I am redeemed from the curse of the law and my heart
and lungs beat with the rhythm of life. The Spirit and life
of God's Words flow in me, cleansing my blood of every
disease and impurity (Prov. 4:20-23).
• In Jesus Name, my arteries will not shrink or become
clogged. Arteries, you are clean, elastic, and function
as God created you to function (Luke 17:6, Mark 11:23,
Isaiah 55:11, James 3:2-5).
• The law of the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus has made me
free from the law of sin and death; therefore, I will notallow sin, sickness, or death to lord it over me (Rom. 8:2,
6:13, 14).
• In Jesus Name, I forbid my body to be deceived in any
manner. Body, you will not be deceived by any virus
or disease germ. Neither will you work against life or
health in any way. Every cell of my body supports life
and health (Matt. 12:25, 35).
• I speak to the bones and joints of my body. I call you
normal in Jesus Name. My bones and joints will not
respond to any disease; for the Spirit of life of 1st Peter
2:24 permeates every bone and joint in my body with
life and health.
• Father, I make a demand on my bones to produce perfect
marrow. I make a demand on my marrow to produce
pure blood that will ward off sickness and disease. My
bones refuse any off ense of the curse (Prov.16:24, Gal.
3:13).
• I make a demand on my joints to function perfectly.
There will be no pain or swelling in my joints. My joints
refuse to allow anything that will hurt or destroy their
normal function (Prov. 17:22).
• Body, I speak the Word of Faith to you. I demand that
every internal organ perform a perfect work, for you are
the temple of the Holy Ghost. Therefore, I charge you in
the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the authority
of His Holy Word to be healed and made whole in Jesus'
name (Prov 12:18).
• I will not die, but live and declare the works of God
(Psalms 118:17).

I will not lie to David!
I
happened to hear a stand-up comedian say in TV few days ago.
"Guys
in middle east are RICH when they say they are Rich. Anywhere in this world a
man with 10 Million dollars is rich. But there 10 Million is a pocket money for
a man considered rich"
As
I hear it, I can’t help my mind going thru the pages of the Book of Genesis. My
mind kept wondering about destitute Hagar in the wilderness looking for water
to save her dying son. Her tears dried up cheeks, sweaty brow, sandal less feet
in that scorching heat and a frantic heart beating 1000 beats a minute, running
around in despair and crying for help.
It
was not in vain. Her wails and tears were watched & heard by the GOD of this Universe.
HE sent HIS angel
1.
To encourage the Slave woman from the country (Egypt) where HE is not revered
2.
To provide for the child who was not HIS plan.
He
keeps HIS word HE had promised to her before.
"“Behold, you are with child,
And you will bear a son;
And you shall call his name Ishmael,
Because the Lord has
given heed to your affliction.
“He will be a wild donkey of a
man,
His hand will be against everyone,
And everyone’s hand will be against him;
And he will live to the east of all his brothers.”
Genesis 16:11-12
For many, many years, tales of finding treasures were told
& retold in that arid desert as people awaited the time of prosperity.
Knowingly or unknowingly these tales were told based on this promise. As
they were telling these stories around the fire at cold night to keep them
awake to watch the cattle or to keep them encouraged they were actually
prophesying over them and over their generation this promise and abundance the
LORD has promised to Ishmael’s mother, Hagar.
In fact, the stories tell about them looking for treasures
and chests of gold coins and silver hidden underground. But Jehovah's plans and
wisdom is in comprehensible. Hallelujah! It took 1000 some years to know it is “Petroleum”
that will be bringing that prosperity, the treasure that they have
been dreaming and waiting all along for generations. How neat!
Today scientists can support many theories about how &
when the Petroleum is formed in that area. Fossilology can suggest various
cause and reasons for such enrichment of soil below. But, how can they explain
the Promise to Hagar and correlate the LORD's faithfulness to it. They will not
be able to it unless they remove their knowledge goggles and see with their
eyes of faith.
It is not coincidence or a fluke. It is just that we have a GOD
who never lies. He is El Roi (as Hagar exalts) who sees our tears, He is
Immanuel who GOD himself is with us, He is Jehovah the Almighty who answers and
most of all HE is faithful to HIS promise to us.
“So God has given both his promise and
his oath. These two things are unchangeable because it is impossible for God to
lie. Therefore, we who have fled to him for refuge can have great confidence as
we hold to the hope that lies before us." - Hebrews 6:18
Below Verse Psalm 89:26-35 pretty much encapsulates
the blessings on HIS believers and descendants.
He will call out to me,
‘You are my Father,
my God, the Rock my
Savior.’
And I will appoint him to
be my firstborn,
the most exalted of the
kings of the earth.
I will maintain my love
to him forever,
and my covenant with
him will never fail.
I will establish his line
forever,
his throne as long as the
heavens endure.
“If his sons forsake my law
and do not follow my statutes,
if they violate my decrees
and fail to keep my commands,
I will punish their sin with the rod,
their iniquity with flogging;
but I will not take my love from him,
nor will I ever betray my faithfulness.
I will not violate my covenant
or alter what my lips have uttered.
Once for all, I have sworn by my holiness—
and I will not lie to David—
that his line will
continue forever
and his throne endure
before me like the sun;
it will be established
forever like the moon,
the faithful witness in
the sky.”
HE is what HE is! Amen! Amen! Amen!

Let us see Miracles!
Luke 18:38
He called out, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Another translation says
Then, at the top of his voice, he cried out, "Jesus, son of David, take pity on me."
Mark 10:47
When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout, "Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!"
Few things about this Blind man Bartimaues
1. He is a beggar. He is poor and homeless.
2. He is blind. He needs physical healing
3. He is an outcast. He wears the cloak in those days to differentiate from other beggars i.e. he is blind.
But He has kept his ears sharp. His spiritual being is high. So when he knew Jesus Christ who heals lepers and rise dead is on his way to Jerusalem, He calls out to him for deliverance without hesitation. In fact, He gives a shout with all his might to Jesus to get his attention from the side of the road. He had people around him shushing him to be quiet.
48 Then many warned him to be quiet; but he cried out all the more, “Son of David, have mercy on me!”
You can see the urge of the Bartimaues in ignoring them by calling out all the more coz he didnt care about what the disciples/followers around Jesus has to say. He cared about what Savior has to say! He calls HIS name very well, he calls out Jesus name with his genealogy elaborate. He is a believer.
50 And throwing aside his garment, he rose and came to Jesus.
51 So Jesus answered and said to him, “What do you want Me to do for you?”
The blind man said to Him, “Rabboni, that I may receive my sight.”
52 Then Jesus said to him, “Go your way; your faith has made you well.” And immediately he received his sight and followed Jesus on the road.
What a powerful miracle there!!!
- An OUTCAST invited to HIS presence
- A Conversation with the LORD
- A Physical Healing
- A Spiritual encouragement!
Today, we are blind to the plans, blessings and promises the LORD has for us. We are engulfed with the fear of unknown. We feel like an outcast.
But, let us not sit on the side of the road and cry in despair. Let us not be taken back by the situations, diagnosis, results, comprehension.
Let us just Call out to him "Oh! Jesus, Son of David! Have mercy on me" from wherever we are. (Yes, if we have to cry, let us cry to HIM)
JESUS is on HIS way to invite you to HIS presence. He is to deliver you, heal you and make you witness miracles and to make your life a witness for HIS glory!
Micah 7:15
"As in the days when you came out from the land of Egypt, I will show you miracles."
Amen!

Matthew 11:28 -30
Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.
At different points of life we face different situations. Sometimes we are in such trails and a difficult situation. We are pressed against a corner and feel like there is no situations out. We don't know where to turn to. Have you ever felt it. Even breathing gets difficult. We are burdened, we feel we cannot take another step. This is the point we need to tun to our father who is waiting for us instead of trying to do everything by ourselves. We need to give up trying to do it by ourselves. I have realized how difficult that is, to completely give control. When I did that, I could feel the comfort. The situation did not change but I am not anxious, I did not feel burdened anymore. Just as he said he will give rest. Just then I could see the situation
start dissolving, help comes from different place. I realized the situation I was in was just a learning process for me that God wanted me to learn to lean on him and experience his rest.
When we take his Yoke, and walk with him, we start learning to be like him. Gentle and humble in situations where we have not been. we would learn his patience, gentleness. In midst of a storm, to keep our eyes fixed on him and not at the storm, we would only receive peace and rest. If we yoke with him and go in our own ways, it is very difficult to walk. This is what many christians face. Let us just walk with him and find rest for our souls.
His burden is light. Once we are aligned with him, we do not feel the burden. Let's stay focused on him, walk with him, meditate his words and find the rest we need. A calmness in the storm.
Praise God!

Storms of Life
Last night an angel of the God to whom I belong and whom I serve stood beside me and said, ‘Do not be afraid, Paul. You must stand trial before Caesar; and God has graciously given you the lives of all who sail with you.’ So keep up your courage, men, for I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. Act 27: 23 – 25
On his journey to Rome as a prisoner, Paul and his crew were in the middle of a storm. He used the above verse during that storm, to encourage others.
Paul had incredible faith on God's promises. When man makes a promise, nothing is a guarantee, until he fulfills it. But with God, when he makes a promise, it is as good as done. Remember, that God is not human to lie nor a human being to change his mind (Num 23:19). In Isa 55 we read that God's word will not return void. God's promise is our anchor in the midst of the storms of this life. An anchor does not remove us from the storm, but it places us firmly in the midst of the storm.
Any other anchor or support system will fail. Only God's word will never fail. Cling on to the promises God has given you. If he has not given any specific promise, all the promises in the bible are yeah and amen in Christ Jesus. Like Paul we must boldly declare that I have faith in God that it will happen just as he told me. When God gives us a promise, we expect everything will fall into place or everything will become smooth. But not so. Most of the time, the opposite seems to happen. Nevertheless his promises will prevail. No one can thwart his plans. Heb 10:23 He who promised is faithful.
Paul is seen encouraging others to be of courage right in the middle of the storm. When a storm of sickness or financial loss has passed by and we experience calmness, we can easily be of encouragement to others. But God is calling us to be encouragers in the midst of the storm. We can't sit and wait till the storm passes by. Rise up, my sister and my brother.
Because of Paul's faith, God graciously gave him the lives of all the people who sailed with him. So it will be with you as well. People around you may be sad and discouraged due to the storm. But you rise up above the storm and soar. Be an encourager today. People do not look at you seeing if you have got it all together. But they look on to you when things fall apart. Stand on His word and be an encourager.

Just Obey!
Partial obedience to LORD is Disobedience! Commandments from LORD is "Commandments" not "suggestions". They are directions to HIS plan in your life. Your directions would let you to closed or abandoned or broken Roads. So for HIS plan to prevail, Just OBEY!
Job 36:11
"If they obey and serve him,they will spend the rest of their days in prosperity
and their years in contentment." (NIV)
Romans 2:13
"For it is not those who hear the law who are righteous in God's sight, but it is those who obey the law who will be declared righteous." (NIV)
Jeremiah 7:24-26
24 But they did not listen or pay attention; instead, they followed the stubborn inclinations of their evil hearts. They went backward and not forward. 25 From the time your ancestors left Egypt until now, day after day, again and again I sent you my servants the prophets. 26 But they did not listen to me or pay attention. They were stiff-necked and did more evil than their ancestors.’ (NIV)

May Month Promise - Jeremiah 31:10-14
Hear the word of the Lord, you nations;
proclaim it in distant coastlands:
‘He who scattered Israel will gather them
and will watch over his flock like a shepherd.’
For the Lord will deliver Jacob
and redeem them from the hand of those stronger than they.
They will come and shout for joy on the heights of Zion;
they will rejoice in the bounty of the Lord—
the grain, the new wine and the olive oil,
the young of the flocks and herds.
They will be like a well-watered garden,
and they will sorrow no more.
Then young women will dance and be glad,
young men and old as well.
I will turn their mourning into gladness;
I will give them comfort and joy instead of sorrow.
I will satisfy the priests with abundance,
and my people will be filled with my bounty,”
declares the Lord.
Jeremiah 31:10-14

LOST & FOUND!
Book of Luke offers parables with an incredible wealth of truth
about salvation and LORD’s varied responses.
The
Parable of the Lost Sheep
Luke 15 (NIV)
3 Then Jesus told them this
parable: 4 “Suppose one of you has a hundred sheep and loses one of
them. Doesn’t he leave the ninety-nine in the open country and go after the
lost sheep until he finds it? 5 And when he finds it, he joyfully puts it on his shoulders 6 and
goes home. Then he calls his friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice
with me; I have found my lost sheep.’ 7 I tell
you that in the same way there will be more rejoicing in heaven over one sinner
who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who do not need to repent.
Points to note:
·
Sheeps. They are naïve, meek, generally in
groups. They need a Leader. They cant work on their own.
·
There is One out of those 100 sheeps that gets
lost. Stats: 1% loss.
·
There is an able Shepherd to care for the Sheeps.
The Parable of the Lost Coin
8 “Or
suppose a woman has ten silver coins[a] and loses one. Doesn’t she light a lamp, sweep the house and
search carefully until she finds it? 9 And when
she finds it, she calls her friends and neighbors together and says, ‘Rejoice
with me; I have found my lost coin.’ 10 In the
same way, I tell you, there is rejoicing in the presence of the angels of God
over one sinner who repents.”
Points to note:
·
A Silver coin. So valuable. It helps to live
this earthly life. Yet if invested right can produce more such Silver coins of
its value or coins more valuable than the invested Silver coin itself. Silver Coin
plays a role in both believers and non-believers life.
·
One out of 10 Silver coins is lost. Stats: 10%
loss.
·
It is managed by a woman/man with a keen
attention.
The Parable of the Lost Son
11 Jesus
continued: “There
was a man who had two sons. 12 The
younger one said to his father, ‘Father, give me my share of the estate.’ So he divided his property between them.
13 “Not long after that,
the younger son got together all he had, set off for a distant country and
there squandered his wealth in wild
living. 14 After he
had spent everything, there was a severe famine in that whole country, and he
began to be in need. 15 So he
went and hired himself out to a citizen of that country, who sent him to his
fields to feed pigs. 16 He
longed to fill his stomach with the pods that the pigs were eating, but no one
gave him anything.
17 “When he came to his
senses, he said, ‘How many of my father’s hired servants have food to spare,
and here I am starving to death! 18 I will
set out and go back to my father and say to him: Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. 19 I am no
longer worthy to be called your son; make me like one of your hired servants.’ 20 So he
got up and went to his father.
“But while he was still
a long way off, his father saw him and was filled with compassion for him; he
ran to his son, threw his arms around him and kissed him.
21 “The son said to him,
‘Father, I have sinned against heaven and against you. I am no longer worthy to be called your son.’
22 “But the father said to
his servants, ‘Quick! Bring the best robe and put it on him. Put a ring on his finger and sandals on his feet. 23 Bring
the fattened calf and kill it. Let’s have a feast and celebrate.24 For this
son of mine was dead and is alive again; he was lost and is found.’ So they began to celebrate.
Points to note:
·
A Son. A human being. Man who was created in the
image of GOD. Epitome of GOD’s creation. One who can tame and rule the other
beings walking on the surface of the world.
·
One out of 2 is lost. Stats 50% loss.
·
Father who is compassionate, forgiving, loving
and rich is the care taker of this Son.
See the response of the LORD in each instance.
1.
Shepherd goes in search of that lost sheep and
bring him back in his shoulder
2.
Woman lights up the lamp and searches without
waiting for dawn to break up. She wants to make sure she finds this coin before
she goes to bed. This is her priority and first order of business.
3.
A Father who waits patiently.
Our LORD’s thought are not same as ours. He works in
mysterious ways when it comes to saving (salvation).
At least we can find 3
kinds of work here:
When there is a soul lost in ignorance, lost in its
brilliance, in its own understanding. The Shepherd sets out for a journey in
search of that drifted away sheep. The sheep is so worried and confused to
follow the lead. Sheep lacks comprehension. So the Shepherd carries the sheep. Young
Sheep must be at 25 pounds. But the Shepherd happily lifts him and carries home
on the shoulder.
Then there is this Valuable coin. There are souls who are so
talented, so valuable and they are lost. Like the Woman, the LORD lights up and
find him. Isn’t he the one who keep sweeping his eyes all over the world in
search of the souls. As he sweeps and find that Coin, he puts them in his vault
along with the other talented souls.
The last(lost? J
) but not the least, the Son. HIS son. HIS image. HIS Heir. HIS torch. HE gives
away what he wants. HE let his rejoice the world. HE let him lose. HE let him
suffer. HE waits for his return. For HE knows the plan. HE sees the “action” of
son returning home. HE doesn’t listen to what son has to say. HE is fine with
HIS son’s action of coming back. That’s what matters to him. HE orders HIS
servants/angel to “quickly’ change
his son’s situation, because that is HIS son. Yes, there are certainly people who
he view as HIS Sons/daughters. HIS response to their loss is different.
Every soul is so special, so unique and so different. LORD’s
approach to their salvation is that unique and special as well. You could have
been drifted away sheep, a lost coin and a son in a far away land. Take heart,
all is well with our LORD Christ Jesus who is our savior, redeemer and
advocate!
What a GREAT LORD we serve! A Caring Shepherd, A Perseverant
Woman, A Compassionate Father!
Praise the LORD!
