This episode features Dr. Michael Karlfeldt as he is hosting Deena Shoemaker. They delve into Deena’s remarkable journey of faith-based healing and her experiences chronicled in her book, "Encounters with God." Deena recounts her background as a lifelong Christian and shares how her faith played a pivotal role in her recovery from severe nerve pain. She describes attending a Christian healing conference, where, after persistent prayer and a powerful encounter with a woman possessing a deliverance anointing, she experienced a miraculous and complete healing from chronic pain and dystrophy in her ankle. 

Throughout the conversation, Deena and Dr. Karlfeldt discuss the importance of incorporating God’s healing power into therapeutic practices, especially for patients facing serious illnesses like cancer. Deena emphasizes that healing is not just a phenomenon of biblical times but is accessible today through faith, prayer, and a deep relationship with God. She shares practical steps for seeking healing, such as gratitude, worship, and rebuking the enemy, and highlights the need to listen to the Holy Spirit to discern the root causes of sickness and disease. Deena explains that illness can stem from various sources, including natural causes, lack of proper nutrition, or spiritual attacks from the enemy. She stresses the importance of spiritual discernment and using different types of prayer depending on the source of the ailment. 

The discussion also touches on the historical context of the church’s teachings about sickness, noting a shift in perspective around 400 AD that began to view illness as God’s will, a notion Deena challenges through her testimony and scriptural references. A significant portion of the episode is dedicated to understanding how God communicates with individuals. Deena shares her experiences of hearing God’s voice, receiving visions, and feeling the Holy Spirit’s presence. She offers advice on discerning God’s voice, using scriptural tests, and maintaining a posture of gratitude and worship to draw closer to God. Both Deena and Dr. Karlfeldt underscore the importance of knowing one’s identity in Christ and recognizing the authority believers have to seek and maintain healing. 

The episode concludes with Deena offering a heartfelt prayer for listeners, asking for healing and the removal of sickness in the name of Jesus Christ. She encourages listeners to pursue a deeper relationship with God, embrace their authority in Christ, and expect healing as a manifestation of God’s love and goodness. The conversation serves as an inspiring testament to the power of faith, the reality of modern-day miracles, and the enduring hope found in spiritual community and belief.
