The realm of the miraculous is the realm of the born again believer in Christ. Miracles have not been done away with in this New Testament dispensation. The Lord is steadily proving this each and every day. Here you will find miracle testimonies that add to this thesis.

How God Did Healing Miracles Through the Early Church Fathers

We see healing miracles in the Bible, a book that spans 4000 years of recorded history. From the very first book of the Bible where God healed Abimelech in response to Abraham’s prayer in Genesis 20:17 all the way through to the leaves of healing from the Tree of Life in Revelation 22: 2, we see God’s desire for man to be ‘every bit whole.’ Yet some say it’s all in the past that the age of miracles has ceased. That God waited until the last apostle’s death and then removed His miracle hand from the earth because now we have His Word. Or, at least that’s the theory of it. This ideology has a name. It is called cessationism. Cessationists believe that when the Old Testament canon closed at Malachi, the gifts had ceased for the next 400 years until John the Baptist. Similarly, when the New Testament canon closed, the gifts ceased.[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cessationism] Well, if God doesn’t do miracles anymore, then that’s bad news. But, I’m here to tell you today that the good news is, the bad news was wrong. How God Did Healing Miracles Through the Early Church Fathers, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

Do People Need Miracles to Believe Jesus Is Real?

Here’s the question that we are going to look at in today’s Light on Life Podcast. Do people need miracles to believe in Jesus? The fact that people really believe that Jesus does miracles is decidedly true. The percentage of adults who mostly agree or completely agree with the statement, “Even today, miracles are performed by the power of God” sits at 82%, according to a Princeton Religion Research Center’s PRRC Emerging Trends survey.1

What Divine Healing Is and What It Isn’t [Encore Podcast]

Divine Healing, What It Is and What It Isn't

Divine healing is better for your life, that’s not only a Bible fact, it’s an earthly fact too. 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

Why You Don't Have to Be Sick in Light of the Bible

With everything that is happening with the Corona Virus, we need to remember that the Bible teaches us that we don’t have to be sick. On January 17, 1993 Duane Miller was healed of throat condition that reduced his speech to a raspy whisper. While teaching his Sunday school class from Psalm 103 at the First Baptist Church in Brenham, Texas, Duane reaffirmed his belief in divine healing and that miracles had not ended with the Book of Acts. The miracle happened when he got to verse four, which says ‘who redeems your life from the pit’. On the word ‘pit’, his life changed. The word was completely clear. He paused, startled. 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. 1

How’s that for a healing testimony? While he read the Word, he received health. Doesn’t that match the scripture in Proverbs 4:20-22?

Proverbs 4:20–22 (KJV) — 20 My son, attend to my words; Incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.

Get ready to be healed today.  We are going to be reading some healing verses, God may choose to heal you this way this day as we discuss “Why You Don’t Have to Be Sick in Light of the Bible”.  So, hook your faith up to His Word today. All this and more on this week’s Light on Life.

As we continue the trek through John’s gospel, we come upon a beautiful deliverance in John five. Jesus ministered healing to one man at the Pool of Bethesda.  How did He do it? He did it via a manifestation of gifts of the Spirit. Jesus gave both hope and healing to a man who had been sick thirty-eight years. What Jesus did for this one man, He will do for you. And what He has done for you, you can pass on to others. How you can minster healing as Jesus did, that’s our focus on this week’s Light on Life.

The Value of Humility and Consecration in the Miracles of God

The Value of Humility and Consecration in the Miracles of God

Becoming a disciple of Jesus means becoming a committed follower. It is a learning position as Matthew 11:29 states. There is so much to learn and know about the Lord. One area where we need to go to school is the miracles of God. Yes, it’s a school, and the Holy Spirit is the teacher. Jesus said, ‘The works that I do, you will also do and greater works than these shall you do because I go unto the Father’ — John 14:12. As an aspiring disciple, it is necessary to learn about the miracles of God.

Why the Natural and the Supernatural Leads To Healthy Lives

A quote on Health and Wholeness

The will of God for your life is that you live all of your days well and whole. Sickness is not from God, that’s a Bible fact. But, there’s more than one side to living in health and wholeness. There are at least two sides. There is the natural side and there is the spiritual side. It’s not really a matter of choosing between the two. Both realms, natural and spiritual are designed to work together. One minister said these words, “The natural plus the supernatural together make an explosive force for God.” That saying is true. In today’s blog, we take a look at why you need both working in your life in order to partake of health and wholeness.

#S4-040: Why You Need to Know the Story of John Alexander Dowie [Podcast]

Why You Need to Know the Story of John Alexander Dowie

If you remember in a previous podcast, “Why You Can Expect Powerful Healing Moves of God” we briefly mentioned a man named Edward Irving. Edward Irving was a minister of the Scottish Church in London who began calling for a new expectation for the miraculous. He questioned the cessationsists thinking that the age of miracles is past. The result of that call and that questioning? By 1830, Irving’s congregation began to experience supernatural healings as well as ‘speaking with other tongues.’ That’s 1830, approximately 75 years before Azuza. But that may not have been Irving’s greatest contribution to the healing gospel of Jesus Christ. His teachings were exposed to a young ministry study attending the University of Edinburgh in Scotland. The student’s name? John Alexander Dowie. We are going to be talking about modern-day healing evangelists in this week’s Light on Life. Why You Need to Know the Story of John Alexander Dowie.

#S4-034: Why You Can Absolutely Expect Powerful Healing Moves of God [Podcast]

You Can Expect Powerful Healing Moves of God

God is in the moving business. In the very first pages of Genesis where the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters, you can see evidence that God is the God of the plan. He has one. He’s always had one. Not only does He have one but, He’s always working to bring His plan to fruition. Throughout the course of human history, God has been seen moving and stirring the hearts of His people. At times when His people have shut down and allowed themselves to be distracted from His first priority of establishing the Kingdom, in the midst of the distraction, God is still moving to work the plan. So don’t be afraid of the complacency you may see around you. It won’t stay that way for long. God is on the Throne and on the move. Do you think that everything that God has already executed in bringing Jesus into planet earth will fall flat because of few cold saints? The stirring, the reviving, the outpouring of God’s Presence, is on the horizon. Not only will God stir His people to a greater awareness of His purpose, but often times these moves are accompanied by spectacular signs, wonders, and dramatic miracles. Healing is a physical sign pointing to our Eternal on the move God. In today’s podcast, we are going to take a look at the healing connection to some of these revival type moves.

#S4-031: How You Can Know that Jesus Will Do Miracles for You [Podcast]

by

Jesus Will Do Miracles for You

The scriptures speak to us loudly about miracles. The evidence of them splashes across four-thousand years of recorded Biblical history. From Genesis to Revelation, miracles jump out from the pages filling the heart with hope and expectation. Miracles should be the norm for those who have a lifestyle in God. They are the expected thing. Yet, there are some who say we shouldn’t get our hopes up. That God’s mighty power has vanished like smoke in the wind. The question though is this, where is the evidence of that claim? Where is the evidence of a God who no longer heals or who no longer divides the seas? Recorded history tells a different tale. Not Bible history mind you, secular human history itself testifies that miracles are very much alive. And that’s good news for you because that means you can have a real live miracle by the hand of Almighty God. God loves you. God cares for you and He wants you well. And, He doesn’t play favorites. If He ever healed anybody, He will certainly heal you.
