Good News! Why the Curse of the Law Is Powerless

You may have read through the book of Galatians and read that Christ redeemed us from the Curse of the Law. You may may have wondered at the same time what that statement means. What is the Curse of the Law and what does it mean to be redeemed from it? Well, that’s what the scripture says and it certainly has to be good news if we can understand how to act on it! The idea of redemption takes us to Calvary. But, even reading the physical account of what happened on Golgotha’s hill doesn’t uncover what happened in the spirit realm. So much just cannot be understood by looking at the physical. You know, an artist can paint the physical hands and feet of our Lord, but he cannot paint the healing power of those hands and the godly walk of those feet. This same artist can paint the outward suffering of Jesus, but not the inward cause. He can paint the cross, the cursed tree, but not the curse of the law; the bearing of the cross, but not the bearing of the sins of His people; the cup of vinegar, but not the cup of wrath—the derision of His enemies but not the forsaking of the Father. Where is the artist who can paint one hand of Christ nailed to the cross and the other hand claiming an inheritance for believers? Or who can paint our Lord bruising the serpent’s head, conquering sin, death and the grave? The artist can only portray blood and water flowing from Christ’s side, but he cannot paint what the eye of faith sees in that blood: salvation and pardon.1 He cannot paint redemption. But, I am here to tell you today that what the artist can’t do, the Holy Spirit can do. That’s why we today we will take a look at the Good News! Why the Curse of the Law Is Powerless — all on this week’s Light on Life.

The Amazing Role of Praying Elders in the Church

Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Twenty-Four

The Amazing Role of Praying Elders in the Church

James chapter five has several references to praying for others, starting with the elders of the church praying. Unfortunately, countless Christians become selfish in their prayers. They pray for themselves and their families and care little about others. The moon is a lavish giver that owes all her beauty to her habit of giving. Suppose the moon should swallow up and keep to herself all the years of light which the sun gives her and should refuse to share them with us; what would the effect be? She would stop shining. The moment she stopped shining, she would lose all her beauty. All the beauty and the brilliancy of a diamond are caused by its reflecting, or giving away, the light which it receives. It is the same way with the moon. If it should stop shining, or giving away the light it gets from the sun it would hang up in the sky like a great, black, ugly-looking ball. All its brightness and beauty would be gone. Which would we rather be, as we pray: a black ugly ball in God’s sky, or a shining light, constantly giving of the light we so abundantly receive?1 Of course, the answer is obvious and that’s why we are talking about The Amazing Role of Praying Elders in the Church on this week’s Light on Life.

How to Gain Victory Over Deadly Diseases

Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Twenty-Two

How to Gain Victory Over Deadly Diseases

In last week’s podcast, we shared a victory testimony of God’s magnificent healing power as it relates to the deadly disease of addiction. In that episode, we pointed out some lessons we can learn from God’s dealings with others. That testimony that we examined was from a medical doctor who lived in the late 19th century and early 20th century. God healed her from a severe drug addiction. We are going to follow that same MO this week of looking for valuable lessons, but from a more modern perspective, a woman healed of cancer who lived [and in fact is still alive] during our day. A. W. Tozer said that because we are the handiwork of God, it follows that all our problems and their solutions are theological.1 What does that statement mean? It means the wisdom of God holds the answers for everyone. And since the Word of God is the Wisdom of God, then, your answers, my answers, anybody’s answers are in the Bible. We just have to know where to look, and have revelation of how things operate. So, let’s get our faith pointed towards the Lord and let’s examine another testimony in the revelation light of God’s Word. How to Gain Victory Over Deadly Diseases, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Simple Keys To Touching Jesus For Miracles

Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Fifteen

Simple Keys To Touching Jesus For Miracles

Gospel writers record several incidents where Jesus touched people and other accounts where it went the other way. Now, touching Jesus is what our focal point is today. Whenever the Master touched someone, miracles followed. Physical touch is vital; studies show its absence can be life-threatening. We need human contact. Many years ago in hospital nurseries, it was standard procedure that newborns were not to be touched except in emergencies. Dr. John Holt observed an incredible proportion of infant deaths. He believed there was a link between the failure to touch and the high death rates. He reasoned that the will to live is directly related to the experience of being held and touched as an infant. Holt instructed neo-natal nurses to give “Tender Loving Care” to six infants five times a day, to hold and cuddle them, physically conveying love through touching. They rallied immediately. Now it is standard procedure that early on, within a few minutes after birth, infants are placed in the mother’s arms. They are held by the father and the attendant. Young people who grow up in homes where there is very little touching are often withdrawn in character and personality in adulthood, retreating into a world of fantasy, often expressing hostility to others and to society at large. But when young people are raised in homes with lots of touching, hugging, kissing, physical expressions of affection, they usually grow up to be open, warm, and secure. We need to be touched if our lives are to be all they ought to be. We have here a clue as to why God came and dwelt among us. He understood that we needed to be touched, not only by our mothers and fathers and those we love, but by God. We need to know His loving caress. So God became a man. He took on flesh and blood and dwelt in our midst. I believe also that God came in flesh to touch us because touch is the highest form of communication. Words are fundamental to communication. But there are times when words fail, when touch can communicate what the tongue cannot.1 I agree wholeheartedly with this point of view. Since physical connection is essential, isn’t spiritual touch equally, if not more, important? Absolutely! This week on Light on Life, join us for “Simple Keys to Touching Jesus for Miracles.”

How You Can Talk Your Way Into Faith and Healing

There are some who have not realized that they can talk their way into a place of faith if they need healing for your body. There is a marvelous truth here concerning the dynamics of trusting God and understanding how His Word works in our spirits. Faith comes by hearing and it doesn’t matter whom you are hearing from. Whether you are hearing your pastor teach, or your Sunday School teacher, or a favorite faithful minister of God’s timeless Word on TV or radio, faith comes by hearing. There are so many ways you can hear the Word in this digital age. You can listen to healing scriptures on YouTube. Why, there are even Bible apps that will play the Word for your hearing. I have several audio book versions of the Word of God. I play them in my car as I am traveling hither and thither. But in this podcast, we are going to look in on a particular woman and how she schooled herself into faith. We’re going to come to know a wonderful truth that you can build yourself up in faith by hearing the Word of God come out of your own mouth. Faith comes by hearing.

Why You Are Free Because Healing Is the Children’s Bread

Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Twelve

Why You Are Free Because Healing Is the Children’s Bread

Divine healing is the children’s bread, a fact revealed to a Gentile woman one day by the mouth of our Lord Jesus Christ. That’s right, Jesus said ‘healing is the children’s bread.’ Bread, being a symbol of life-giving sustenance, gives this analogy that Jesus used great weight. There are some modern day Bible teachers who believe that this bread has been turned into stones — that is that Jesus no longer heals today. Now, I believe that most of these men who teach these things, mean well. But, I can personally tell you that it’s not so because Jesus healed me of a condition deemed incurable almost twenty years ago. Healing is still available and it is still as Jesus declared it to be, the children’s bread. When Stanley Frodsham was a young Christian, [you know Stanley wrote a biography on Smith Wigglesworth] and a member of a large Congregational church, he was often troubled with the thought—Why do we not see miracles today as of old? The Lord Jesus went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil. His apostles did the same. Why are we not having a like ministry today? One day in the year 1908 a paper came into his hands. It told of the Spirit’s being poured out in Los Angeles, Calif., just as at Pentecost. Many remarkable healings were described. As he read of this revival there came a strong witness to his spirit that this was of God. Later other papers came from Canada, England, India, South Africa, and different parts of the United States, and his eyes were opened to the fact that God was once more pouring out His Spirit in many places even as at Pentecost, that the Lord was truly with His people and confirming His Word today as He did in the beginning of this church age. This same year, the Lord filled Stanley with the Spirit, making no difference between him and those at the beginning. He was soon awakened to the fact that he was one of a large, world-wide fellowship. There were Baptists, Methodists, Presbyterians, Congregationalists, Episcopalians, Holiness people, Christians from every denomination and from no denomination, who had received a like experience. He noticed that all these Spirit-filled ones made very much of the precious blood of Jesus Christ, and that the cross of Christ had been made very real to all of them through the power of the Holy Ghost. He found that all that he came in contact with believed that the Lord healed today just as of old, and that many of them had had marvelous healings themselves. They were one and all looking eagerly for the soon coming of Christ. Everyone of them honored the Word of God, believing in every part of it, and they were all seeking to be not only hearers but doers of the Word.1 Are you in this company — a Spirit filled, Blood of Jesus partaking, divine healing believing doer of the Word of God? Well, that’s at least part of our focus today as we talk about Why You Are Free Because Healing Is the Children’s Bread all on this week’s Light on Life.

Why Taking God at His Word is the Highest Faith

Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Ten

Why Taking God at His Word is the Highest Faith

During Jesus’ time on earth, He took notice of those who had the highest faith. A Centurion, who came on behalf of his servant. A Canaanite, who came on behalf of her daughter. Jesus noted their faith and the Spirit of God recorded these episodes for our benefit so that we might know what great faith looks like. We need to know. God wants us to aim high. Here us an account from a brand new Jesus follower. He said, “WHEN I was a new believer, I knew little about prayer. My understanding of it was mostly selfish. I considered prayer to be a magic way to get what I wanted. But one day a friend called. His daughter was being rushed to the hospital for emergency surgery. Her appendix had ruptured. Alone on my back porch, I cried out to God, “I’m ashamed of my selfishness in prayer. Forgive me for praying only for myself. Would you please heal that little girl?” Several hours later, my friend called back. Every symptom had evaporated on the operating table. No surgery was performed. The daughter would be held overnight for observation and released in the morning. Can you imagine what that did for my faith as a new believer? God was able to answer prayer and nothing was beyond His power. Some time after that, all the lymph nodes on one side of my body became swollen and sore. Weak and nauseated, unable to eat for days, I finally consulted a doctor. After many tests, we scheduled a biopsy. I was diagnosed as having cancer. The morning of the day we were to hear the results and prognosis from the doctor, the symptoms disappeared. Two nights before, standing in the bathroom and confessing my confusion and anger, I had yielded myself to God’s will regardless of what it might be. As God added to these experiences, those of trusting Him for employment, a place to live, finances, and a ministry of reaching others for Christ, faith grew. There were times it seemed God wasn’t there, but as my understanding and capacity for faith grew, so did experiences of the reality of His ever-present intimacy. Faith didn’t rest on the experiences; the experiences grew out of faith.”1 Your faith can grow as well. It can grow to the highest of heights. Join us on this week’s journey as we look at Why Taking God at His Word is the Highest Faith. That’s our focus on this weeks Light on Life.

Why Your Human Will Is So Vital In Receiving Help and Healing

In this week’s teaching, we focus on the importance of the ‘human will’  in receiving divine healing or any kind of help from the Lord. Some think that God wants to break a person’s will so that they would conform to His plan. God doesn’t want your will broken. He is not that kind of God. The Lord wants your will whole, complete, and entire. But He wants you to choose who will serve. Exercising the power of choice comes mightily to the forefront in gaining answers to prayer. In this podcast, we look at some steps one should take to hold on to healing once it has you have received it in Jesus’ Name.

How You Can Remarkably Experience Jesus Powerful Healing Touch

Have you experienced divine healing from the hand of God? Do you know that this blessing is available for you? In the Pentecostal Evangel church leader George-O. Wood writes: Have you ever heard a healing take place? [Listen to the word ‘heard’ — this illustration is about hearing a miracle take place not seeing one take place] I have. I listened to an audiotape of Duane Miller teaching his Sunday school class from the text of Psalm 103 at the First Baptist Church in Brenham, Texas, on January 17, 1993. Duane prematurely retired from pastoring three years earlier because of a virus which penetrated the myelin sheath around the nerves in his vocal cords, reducing his speech to a raspy whisper. Teaching his class that day with a special microphone resting on his lips, he reaffirmed his belief in divine healing and that miracles had not ended with the Book of Acts. Listening to the tape, at times, you can barely understand his weakly spoken wheezy words of faith. The miracle happened at [when he read] verse 4 [Psalm 103:4 says ‘who redeems your life from the pit, who crowns you with stedfast love and mercy] when he said, “I have had and you have had in times past ‘pit’ experiences.” [Put the word ‘pit’ in brackets or quotes — that is, you have had experiences where you needed God to get you out of the ‘pit’ of despair] On the word ‘pit’ [when he spoke the word ‘pit’] his life changed — the word was as clear as a bell, in contrast to the imperfect enunciation of the preceding word[s] past. He paused, startled; began again and stopped. He said a few more words—all in a normal clear tone — and stopped again. The class erupted with shouts of joy, astonishment, and sounds of weeping. God completely healed him as he was declaring the truth in this psalm. (You can read the full account in Miller’s book Out of the Silence, Nelson Publishers.)1 This Sunday School teacher experienced divine healing. Can I tell you that this podcaster, a former pastor and now a Sunday School teacher, experienced divine healing as well! And, here’s what you should know. You can as well. How You Can Remarkably Experience Jesus Powerful Healing Touch, that’s our focus on today’s edition of Light on Life.

God’s Love for You and Methods of Divine Healing

Podcast: Light on Life Season Twelve Episode Six

God’s Love for You and Methods of Divine Healing

God wants you well in your body to such a degree that He provided various methods where you can receive divine healing. Even doctors have faith in faith. A survey conducted by the American Academy of Family Physicians shows that ninety-nine percent of doctors believe a relationship exists between faith and physical healing. Recently, more than one thousand health-care professionals met at Harvard Medical School to examine the connection between spirituality and healing. Doctors’ faith in faith was bolstered by a California study of the effect of prayer on recovery from heart problems. About two hundred heart patients were assigned to Christians who prayed for them, while an equal number, a control group, received no known prayers. Neither group knew about the prayers, yet those who received prayer developed half the complications that were experienced by those in the control group. A similar study by the Dartmouth Medical School examined the effect of prayer on healing when the patients prayed for themselves. The death rate six months after bypass surgery was 9 percent for the general population but 5 percent for those who prayed for their own healing. And none of the deeply religious patients died during the period of the study.1 Is that amazing or what? So we’re headed out today focusing on God’s Love for You and Methods of Divine Healing — all on this week’s Light on Life.
