The power that shook the meeting place and prison then, is available to us today. If we want to shake our world for Jesus today as they did then, we must return to the basics of prayer, passion and proclamation, so that great power and great grace rest upon us as it did them!

When addressing the topic of healing, we must go back to the Master’s teaching of sowing the seed of God’s Word. The message of healing never changes, the methods of healing are numerous, and the moment of healing is determined by the believer - receiving by faith what God has spoken in His Word!

We have many advantages over the early church, but they outdo us in accomplishments. How? They stuck to the basics and allowed God to demonstrate His power through them. That same power is available today. We must return to the basics of prayer, passion and proclamation if we want to shake our world for Jesus.

The life of faith is walked out not by what our senses tell us, but based on the unseen things of God. Our foundation of faith is based on what God has said. When we release our faith, we can be tempted to fear or waiver. But by feeding our faith on God’s Word and by fellowshipping with those of like-precious-faith, we can inherit the promise.

Is the manifestation of God’s power affected by one’s belief? Does God’s power save someone who views preaching the cross as foolishness? God wants us to understand that the greatness of His power was used to benefit us. Now, we are to use it to benefit mankind.

Our God is a mountain leveler. He wants to reduce our mountains to molehills. It’s up to us to cooperate with Him by speaking His Word to the mountains of adversity in our lives, until they become level plains we can walk on.

The Prophet Samuel learned early in his life to identify the voice of God. His mentor Eli eventually instructed him in hearing and responding to God’s voice. Like Samuel, many struggle with knowing God’s voice and discerning where our thoughts and impressions are coming from: God, ourselves, or even the devil. Knowing the difference can mean the difference between life and death!

We can look at the testimony of Gertrude Ticer as an example of standing on the promises of God to receive healing. Regarded as one of the greatest healing miracles of the 20th century, a blind and disabled Ticer waited in her hospital room insisting that Jesus would be by to heal and restore her of the debilitating condition of MS. Today we will look at scriptures which support the process that Ms. Ticer took to receive her healing from Jesus.

We need saved because of what Adam did. In Adam, the entire world is on a crash course with eternal torture. There’s nothing we can do to escape it on our own. God made a way of escape for everyone in Christ. By calling upon His Name, one can become a new creation and be saved.

God has provided everything we need in order to experience abundant life. In Christ, He has given us all things that pertain to life and godliness. What God has provided must be taken by force; salvation must be received or taken by force, and healing is also received by faith.
