A Place of HEALING by Joni Eareckson Tada

Is good meditation for those dealing with a medical condition for decades from someone who has been doing it in the public eye. I like a brief story Joni shares of a young man who felt a strong ambition to pray for her. Approaching her in a parking lot … “Have you ever considered that it might be sin standing in the way of your healing? That you’ve disobeyed in some way? He then told the story of the friends lowering the paralytic through the roof of the house who was healed when Jesus prayed for him. “You too could be healed if you confess your sin and have faith to believe.” He added “Joni, there must be sin in your life that you haven’t dealt with yet.” Joni said well my conscience is clear and thanked him for his concern. The guy just didn’t get it. He had prayed she should be healed. Finally she drew his attention to the rest of the verse, “Jesus saw the faith of the four friends and the man was made well” God didn’t require faith of the paralyzed man. But he could require yours.”
I love this and appreciate her perspective in many ways and will continue to believe in "the prayer of faith" (AMAZON will let you read the 1st chapter)

The Survivors Club--Ben Sherwood

"The secrets and science that could change your life"

"...discover how some people are born with a Resilience Gene that actually protects them in the worst knocks in life." The research is great with many stories
I watched the drama of the Chilean mine workers with the rest of the world. FOX news did an interview with Mr Sherwood, they discussed the most important survivor tool in crisis is faith.
The US Navy survivor manual also teaches Faith in God as the number one survivor tool. "Faith is a force multiplier" Praise God for prayer, for verses memorized in Sunday School, for hope-realistic optimism & His grace.

Bethany's Worship CD










http://www.wix.com/bethanyabrah/bethany-abrah

Music she produced when pursuing Hillsong, Australia. Not raising enough funds wasn't all bad, this CD is great consolation. It is a gift that leads you into the secret place and is wonderful meditation.
What makes this appropriate to 'A Clearinghouse for Healing' is it lets me talk about worship and just how wonderful worship is to the body & soul.


I began to realize after bouts with paralysis because of the MS, that I could stand, walk, dance, raise my arms, simply had more endurance while participating in a worship service. So why not take that presence-anointing with you in and through everything? He is present while we worship because "He inhabits the praises of His people" & "in His presence is fullness of joy" then it's "the joy of the Lord that is my strength" Loving the Word and Fellowship with the Lord is what has kept me these over 30 years with multiple sclerosis

Bodily Healing and the Atonement

By Dr T.J. Mc Crossan The first book I studied after my diagnosis in 1977 part of Kenneth Hagin's Faith Library. 98 pages published in 1930.
"God used to heal the sick, and He is an unchangeable God"
This book is great meditation.

Billy Burke came to Christian Retreat last week.
‘Healed of Terminal Brain CancerAt the early age of 9 Billy met the Healing Jesus!Stricken with this disease and just days to live, Billy through his grandmother, was introduced to the ministry of Kathryn Kuhlman. Miss Kuhlman called Billy out of the crowd and asked him, “Do you believe?” Then she touched him and in a moment, all the cancer was gone.
http://www.billyburke.org/lifestory.html

I purchased a CD series 'Empowered to keep your Healing Miracle'
Haven't gotten to it yet, but I shared with the women at the table that I'd heard Billy many times and had been walking with MS for over 30 years, that I'd had several God Encounters and wanted something for a healing atmosphere and meditation. I think she was Billy's wife.
She came up to me later and escorted me front for prayer.
I don’t go chasing every “faith healer” but believe there are those with the gift of healing.

There is the temptation of seeking the healing above seeking The Healer.

I have been prayed for often. Benny Hinn called me out of the audience and prayed for me on TV once. Charles, Frances & Joan Hunter have prayed for me, Norvel Hayes & Harold Bredesen Faith teachers while I was in Bible College in the late 70's, Ken Sumrall my pastor when I was first diagnosed, Phil Derstine my pastor today have all prayed. I’ve called on the elders of the church and agreed in prayer with my husband and family.

Often the Lord will heal someone instantly. Then there seem to be those like the man born blind, that the Lord wants to use to manifest Himself in using their weaknesses.
I still have pain and often use a walker or cane. Do I think I have sin in my life or for some reason am not right with God? NO

I’ve felt His touched. I’ve heard His voice. I’ve known His presence in all of this.
I will continue to pray and be prayed for. The Word says ‘pray for one another that you might be healed’ and ‘the Lord restored the fortunes of Job when he prayed for his friends’

I believe in healing. Read the scriptures, say them, hear yourself saying them.

Victorious Ministry Through Christ

http://www.vmtc.org/

"The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because He has anointed me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed..."Luke 4:18

In my 30+ years of growing in intimacy with the Healer this ministry has meant the most to me. I have been healed and received deliverance of strongholds that bound me for years. An evening in prayer counseling is like surgery of the soul... confessing, cleansing, crying, claiming wholeness.

Victorious Ministry Through Christ VMTC Prayer Ministry is a means God uses to bring His gifts of the Spirit to bear in a person's life in a deeper fashion, while he/she is surrounded by the Love of God. This frees the Fruit of the Spirit to grow and mature in the person receiving ministry. (Ephesians 4: 22-24

The VMTC Experience Here is a safe island away from your surroundings... hidden in the Victory of the Cross. Here we participate in loving, listening, and believing prayer through which the wounded soldier is healed by the Lord.

Spiritual Roots of Disease

A More Excellent Way by Pastor Henry Wright
http://www.beinhealth.com/public/?theme=bih_r1

In my wanting to make reference to those I have learned from in my healing adventure this is an excellent book to research and study on the roots of diseases, designed to sow seed of knowledge of our problems being spiritual, psychological and biological.

Pastor Wright discusses many specific diseases, generational blessings and curses, fear, stresses & physiology, Teaching on Romans 7 and Spiritual Blocks to Healing.

For example what he has to say about MS;
Physically- it's when the white corpuscles decide that the myelin sheath of the nerve is the enemy and so like a modern day Pac-Man take a bite out of the coating around the nerve damaging not only the coating but the nerve itself. (Damage to the nerve itself is a recent claim, for years it was only thought to be the myelin sheath.)
Spiritually- "MS is rooted in deep, deep self hatred and guilt, and involves a fathers rejection" The father not the mother, is responsible for the daughters value system and her self-esteem
www.mindsync.com/lam/root.htm is another site listing specific diseases and their spiritual roots

I also like how Louise Hay says in 'Heal your body: the mental causes for physical illness.'
You will find a picture of the probable cause for a specific health issue and the information you need to overcome it by creating a new thought pattern.
To me this is all part of taking steps towards "putting on:
'the spiritual mind, the mind of Christ, the spiritual armour, whatsoever is true'"

I am believing for a creative miracle to damaged nerves where the sheath has been destroyed. In Jesus name.
