Resources For Spiritual Warfare

     If you are like me, you have been on this quest for the truths of God's word for a while. I know that I have search far and wide, high and low to find resources on the Supernatural of God. Don't get me wrong, there is a lot of "stuff" out there but weeding through it to get to the solid teachings is hard. You cannot just pick up the first book or audio you come across and take that alone as your sole source. Believe me, there is a lot of junk out there too. To be lagit the work must line up with God's Word. I know that I have not found all the resources by any means but I have uncovered quite a bit and I would like to share that with you today. I know that early in my quest I was frustrated because it seemed that you could find no information out there other than the modern practitioners of faith healing and the such and all of them had a price for this and a price for that. Now, I am not opposed for paying for good information but I felt like there were some resources out there that were legitimate and at the same time free to the public.
     Well, I have gathered a few that I will share with you today and in the near future will share more as I organize my resources and find new ones. I hope that these books and audios will help you in your own quest for the Supernatural of God. God is the same yesterday, today, and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He still desires for His people to operate with the Supernatural Power that He has made available through the Holy Spirit. I hope that the accounts of these men of women will inspire you to begin to seek the fullness of God's Spirit in your life.

May God richly bless you,

Pastor Ken

Believe!

Through my studies on the Supernatural of God, "I have asked many questions like; why do we not see divine healing on the scale that we see in the New Testament or in by-gone eras?" "Why are some people healed and others are not?" In searching for answers for these and other questions I uncovered the secret, what I have found is that Jesus spoke to these questions in scripture and as hard as the answers may be to swallow, if we want to see God working in us and through us as He did in the first century Church and as He has with other faithful few since those early days then we must embrace His answers to these questions and begin to do what is necessary to transform us from "little faith" to "GREAT FAITH!" The following is an article, which I have copied in its entirety, that talks about what I believe is the first step in beginning to Walk In The Power and Manifestation of the Holy Spirit. If, like me, you yearn to "have faith to move mountains," desire to see the sick healed, the blinded eyes opened, hearing restored to deaf ears, etc., then I invite you to join me on this journey to Walk In The Power and Manifestation of the Holy Spirit. Please enjoy this first work titled "Believe!" (resources are cited at the end of this article).

Blessing,
Ken

According To Your Faith

You will receive from God according
to your faith.

EPHESIANS 3:20 NKJV
20 Now to Him who is able to do exceedingly
abundantly above all that we ask or think,
according to the power that works in us,

This verse says two things. God can do
more than it is possible for us to even imagine. 
Second, what He will do in our lives, is
dependent on the power at work within us.
What is that power? It is the power of His
Word, activated by the Holy Spirit.

ROMANS 1:16-17 NKJV
16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of
Christ, for it is the power of God to salvation
for everyone who believes, for the Jew first
and also for the Greek.
17 For in it the righteousness of God is 
revealed from faith to faith; as it is written,
“The just shall live by faith.”

The Gospel is the power of God. It will
bring faith. It will bring freedom.

MARK 9:23 NKJV
23 Jesus said to him, “If you can believe, all
things are possible to him who believes.”
Anything is possible — if you have faith.

Faith comes from receiving the Word of God.
God’s Word is faith food; if you eat it, it will
produce faith in your life.

ROMANS 10:17 NKJV
17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

In English New Testaments, the words translated faith and believe are the same word in
the Greek. Faith is the noun form and believe
is the verb form of the same Greek word.
If You Have Faith...

MATTHEW 17:20 NKJV
20 So Jesus said to them, “Because of your
unbelief; for assuredly, I say to you, if you
have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to
this mountain, ‘Move from here to there,’ and
it will move; and nothing will be impossible
for you.

...Nothing is impossible — if you have faith.

MARK 11:22-25 NKJV
22 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Have
faith in God.
23 “For assuredly, I say to you, whoever says
to this mountain, ‘Be removed and be cast
into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart,
but believes that those things he says will
come to pass, he will have whatever he says.
24 “Therefore I say to you, whatever things
you ask when you pray, believe that you
receive them, and you will have them.
25 “And whenever you stand praying, if you
have anything against anyone, forgive him,
that your Father in heaven may also forgive
you your trespasses.MATTHEW 21:21 NKJV
21 So Jesus answered and said to them, “Assuredly, 
I say to you, if you have faith and do
not doubt, you will not only do what was done
to the fig tree, but also if you say to this mountain, 
‘Be removed and be cast into the sea,’ it will be done.

LUKE 17:6 NKJV
6 So the Lord said, “If you have faith as a
mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree,
‘Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the
sea,’ and it would obey you.

According To Your Faith

MATTHEW 9:29 NKJV
29 Then He touched their eyes, saying, “According to your faith let it be to you.”

Jesus is no respecter of persons. He would not
tell these people they would receive according
to their faith — then let you receive according
to something else.

MATTHEW 8:13 NKJV
13 Then Jesus said to the centurion, “Go your
way; and as you have believed, so let it be
done for you.” And his servant was healed that
same hour.

What the centurion believed determined what
he received from God. It is still the same today
— for God never changes.

GALATIANS 3:9 NKJV
9 So then those who are of faith are blessed
with believing Abraham.

Only those who are of faith are blessed. God
can do a lot — but only does what we believe.

GALATIANS 6:9 NKJV
9 And let us not grow weary while doing good,
for in due season we shall reap if we do not
lose heart.

We reap only if we do not give up and quit.

ROMANS 5:2 NKJV
2 through whom also we have access by faith
into this grace in which we stand, and rejoice in
hope of the glory of God.

All that we receive from God is by His grace.
We do not deserve God’s blessing. However,
we receive it by faith. We have access to God’s
grace only by faith. Without faith we will not
receive any blessing from God.
(You may say that some people receive who
seemingly have no faith. They are receiving
based on someone else’s faith.)

EPHESIANS 2:8 NKJV
8 For by grace you have been saved through
faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the gift of
God,

We are saved, or delivered, only through
faith. Everything we receive is a gift from God
— we do not earn it, or deserve it. Without
faith we will not receive it.

ROMANS 4:16 NKJV
16 Therefore it is of faith that it might be
according to grace, so that the promise might
be sure to all the seed, not only to those who
are of the law, but also to those who are of the
faith of Abraham, who is the father of us all.

By blessing people on the basis of faith, God
can freely give to all people, by His grace. No
matter what anyone has done, God can bless
them if they will believe Him.

ROMANS 10:11 NKJV
11 For the Scripture says, “Whoever believes
on Him will not be put to shame.”

If we do not believe — we will be put to
shame.

These scriptures should make the importance
of faith in receiving from God clear to you.
Because faith comes from the Word of God,
you should realize the great importance of
feeding on God’s Word, the Bible.
If your faith is weak — feed it God’s Word.
You do that by reading, by hearing, and especially by speaking the Word.

The Power of Words

I would like to repost an article that I read several years ago written by Todd Bentley. Todd's ministry was based in Canada but has moved to the US. You may recall that he recently (4 years or so years ago) lead a break out revival in Lakeland, FL that lasted almost four months. Many signs and wonders were recorded during this revival. He has gone through some set backs in his ministry but is on his way back up. This article is Biblically sound which is why I wanted to post it just as it was. You can check Todd out for yourself at www.freshfireusa.com. He is the article: "Restoring The Voice of Healing"

Restoring the Voice of Healing
by Todd Bentley

Just over a year ago in several prophetic experiences the Lord began to reveal to me a coming Healing revival and spoke to me about a "transferable healing anointing" those articles can be found on the prophetic page of our website. Since that time we have seen a tremendous release of healing in the nations and an impartation of the anointing for signs and wonders to other pastors, churches and
ministries.

I want to share with you several things that the Lord is looking for in restoring the Voice of healing and a healing revival. I believe God is about to release three things the voice, a movement and the creative word!!!

1. The voice: The Lord showed me that the "eyes of the Lord" run to and fro throughout the earth to show himself strong on behalf of the heart contrite before him. God is looking for a John the Baptist, one to show himself strong in power, The voice of one crying out the truth about divine healing without compromise and the fear of the controversy that can come with a ministry of healing. We need preachers of faith, power and the uncompromising gospel!!

We as a north American church are in a famine of power {wilderness] God is looking for those who will resurrect the pure word about healing, regardless of what there experience with healing has been, good or bad. We need a restoration of the word faith. I am not talking about the full movement but the heart and spirit behind teachings from men like TJ Osborn and John G Lake. We have a diluted
message. We are afraid of the controversy of really believing the lord for healing and preaching the full gospel of miracles, signs and wonders. We are too concerned about those who don't get healed and what about my experience with healing?

It is time to open the truth of redemption again and commit our lives to preaching the word of power, even in the midst of little fruit and a label that can come if you really practice "Faith". When I made a decision to believe Jesus for Miracles I decided in my heart that if I prayed for hundreds and no one was healed I would pray for hundreds more, and if all my experience said the message of healing was not for all but some "I would say all" and hold fast to the confession of my faith, though all are not "yet" healed.

Who will preach divine healing? There is a huge price with it. Victory and defeat. When John the Baptist was beheaded, Jesus continued to heal the sick. When my mother died of a stroke, we have seen many healed of stroke, I refused to have to understand it, I refused discouragement, failure and hopelessness and the question -
why Lord? All the more I made a commitment to hate disease. My message will never change. I may never have all the absolute answers on why all are not healed but I will fight on "bound to the word of truth" movement.

In the 1940s - 60's there was a incredible release of healing, evangelism and power. Hundreds were raised up and began to blaze across America with signs and wonders, including Jack Coe, Oral Roberts, William Branham and Gordon Lindsay and many more. This was a healing revival and I believe few if any are walking in the anointing the Holy Spirit released in that time. It was said at one time that 126 wheelchairs were emptied in one service and in another service every sickness, crippled body, blind and deaf were healed in one service without the laying on of hands. I believe that God is about to open up that well. The key to mass evangelism is healing, signs and wonders. The Lord showed me two things about this coming movement.

1. The release of the John 5: Pools of Bethesda. The name Bethesda means outpouring, I see such an outpouring of the healing anointing that there would be Spokane Washington's across the nations, cities of refuge, whole cities known for healing and the ministry of Jesus. For those who do not know about Spokane in the early 1900s John G Lake started the healing rooms. In 5 years people came from all over the world to be healed and they declared Spokane wash, the healthiest city
in America. They documented over 100,000 healings and miracles.

2. The module of John Lake: Teams of healers and a tangible transferable healing anointing resting even on the children. It is time to train and equip the body of Christ to function as the body of Jesus and Preach the gospel, Heal the sick, Cleanse the Leper and Raise the dead, cast out demons. The John Lake module is a Healing team!!!

Creative word: There are two things about the creative word. One God is about to release the healing "spoken" word and two he is about to bring us back to the revelation of the healing connected to what we say with our mouth (confession).

It is time that we believe that "he sent his word and delivered them from their destruction's, just say the word and my servant will be healed. Jesus commands us to heal the sick!!! The Lord really challenged me to make open opportunity to command those that are sick and not even physically present in a service to be made whole. The Lord said the more I had people "stand in the gap" and bring aprons and prayer clothes according to Acts 19:11 to our services, the more he would touch the sick who were not present in a service.

We need to prophesy to the sick, speak to the bodies about the change that is coming and how the body will respond to the word of the Lord. We pray too much for God to do what he told us to do, We need to pray until we are full of the Holy Ghost and then go and say cancer leave, deaf hear and blind see in the name of Jesus. It is time to be who God told us we were and stop praying for the sick, oh God do something, do you want to heal Lord, please heal her Jesus. We need to take more of an authoritative role and command miracles and speak to the dead rise in the name of Jesus!!!!!

One time I was asked to pray for a man who was in the USA and I was in Canada. This young girl had asked me to pray for her grandfather who had just had a stroke and was paralyzed down one side of his body and mute. I had just finished preaching on radical faith for the impossible. She stood in the gap and I began to pray the old courtesy prayer, I really did not believe a miracle would happen thousands of miles away. As I began to pray the Lord spoke to me "What are you going to do about this?" You just preached on radical faith for the impossible, now only believe. Immediately I repented and then I was taken in a vision into the hospital room where I laid hands on this man. This man leaped up out of his hospital bed and ran down the hall. Within a few hours the phone in Canada rang and on the other end was grandpa-praising Jesus he had been healed.

Confession: Proverbs 18:21 Death and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the fruit thereof. We need life words, Faith words, and God's word.

Proverbs 12:14 A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth. So if we are filled with good we can be filled with bad based on what we say.

Proverbs 12:18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health.

Proverbs 23:7 For as he thinketh in his heart, so is he: It is time to overcome our negative thinking and words of unbelief and sickness, death and defeat. We need to start to refuses to believe we are anything but what the bible declares and be careful to talk that talk even though you may not have the full manifestation of what God is saying about you "By his stripes we are healed"

We too, understand a fresh revelation of the power of our words and what we say is what we are. In Joshua ch 1 the bible tells us to meditate in the word day and night, then we would be successful and prosper. There are two things about meditating, one to think upon again and again, and to confess out loud again and again the promise of God.

Something begins to happen in our heart and spirit when we line ourselves up with what God says and that is what we say. I am what he says I am, and I can do what he says I can.

Proverbs 23:7 "For as a man thinketh in his heart, so is he:"

We need to change our mindset and make a decision to renew our minds, hold fast to the confession of our faith in the midst of opposite experience and circumstances. The bible is true!!!!

God is looking for a Voice. A men and women who will commit their lives to believing for healing, preach the word the truth about divine healing. God is also going to bring a fresh movement to the body of Christ beyond what we have ever experienced in the ministry of Jesus. In this Healing revival God will release the creative word and bring back healing as we have a fresh revelation of the power of what we say.

If you need a miracle or you want to ask God for a transfer of the anointing for healing ...

Stuck In A Rut

At times in our lives we find ourselves stuck in a rut. If you've ever spent time in the country or in a place that gets a lot of snow and ice then you know what I'm talking about when I refer to a rut. Some ruts are so deep that once your tires get into them you can't get out, you can't turn to the right or left, your only option is to keep going hoping you will eventually "drive out" of them. When we find ourselves in life's ruts we have to make ourselves continue, if you ever stop in the ruts you're stuck. Sometimes we don't even realize we are in a rut until it's too late. If you find yourself in a rut don't give up. Maybe you are feel that you are stuck or just don't know what to do. If this is you, don't despair, call on the name of Jesus. First of all, turn your life completely over to Him, realize that you can't do it on your own, then ask God to send people into your life that can help guide you out of the "rut" and back onto "solid ground". Get plugged into a Bible believing church with a leader who can speak into your life and begin to grow in the Grace and Knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.

You may be a Christian but you have become ineffective in you ministry or Christian walk... now is the time for Spiritual renewal for your life. Here are some symptoms of Soul Neglect. If any of these apply to you I want to encourage you to find some quiet time, slow down and take a few moments to reestablish the communication lines with God and let Him begin to heal your heart and soul and turn the reins of your life back over to Him. Here are 10 symptoms of soul neglect:

1. Low-Grade "Depression Fever"
    A spiritual depression in which a person, feeling fine in most other ways, feels distant and cut off from God.

2. Busy but bored
    We have a calendar that is full but a heart that is withering, shrinking, unable to care deeply or to experience pleasure fully.

3. Loss of control over life's routine
    We are not questioning the meaning of what we are doing but we are unable to keep all the fires that
    we've started fueled. Life has become overwhelming.

4. Loss of responsiveness to others
    We find it difficult to be with people we used to enjoy. Comments or actions you used to overlook now
     provoke a negative reaction.

5. Withdrawal from responsibility and leadership
     When the inner lake has been drained, it's too low to support the weights of life. When our reservoirs are
     drained we have all we can do just too manage our own lives.

6. Preoccupation with projects of lesser importance
    We keep doing things, but we turn to those things that are less demanding, Your lack of energy and
    motivation may be a signal that your inner life needs more attention.

7. Restlessness and dissatisfaction
    The loss of contentment is a spiritual problem. Restlessness is a symptom of an unmet need. Discontent
    and envy drain our joy, leaving us with bitterness and dissatisfaction.

8. Resurgence of unhealthy habits
    When our souls need attention, we may try to satisfy the wrong appetite. We may misread the inner
    discomfort we feel and do exactly the opposite of what we really need to do.

9. Guilt and shame
    Deliberate sin shrinks the soul, wringing vitality from it. Shame is the lingering echo of a guilty conscience.

10. A hard heart
     The most frightening symptom of soul neglect. We knowingly refuse to do what we know is right or are
     unwilling to stop doing what we know is wrong.(from "Soul Shaping" by Douglas J. Rumford)

Admit to yourself and God where you are right now then ask Him to come in and Change You. Until next time,  
Numbers 6:24-26 (AMP) 
²⁴ The Lord bless you and watch, guard, and keep you;
²⁵ The Lord make His face to shine upon and enlighten you and be gracious (kind, merciful, and giving favor) to you;
²⁶ The Lord lift up His [approving] countenance upon you and give you peace (tranquility of heart and life continually).

How Will You Finish?

I don't know who the coach is/was but check this awesome speech out...

Whether or not you win this thing, you got to decide how your gonna walk out of here when it’s all said and done.
Because the game is going to go on, and there’s only one rule you’re going to need to know about.
There are no second chances. There is only this moment, and the next one. Every one of those moments is a test that you get to take one time, and only one time. So if you see an opening tear into it.
If you get a shot at victory make DARN sure you take it.
SEIZE that moment!
That moment is a cross roads, where everything you want will collide with everything standing in your way. You got momentum at your back, fear and doubt are thundering like a freight train straight at you.
And all you got, the only difference between making history and being history.
The only thing, the ONLY thing you can count on at any given moment is YOU.
It’s you versus them.
You versus no.
You versus can’t.
You versus next year, last year, statistics, excuses.
You versus history.
You versus the odds.
It’s you versus second place.
The clock is ticking; let’s see what you got…
~Unknown Olympic Coach~

I started a quest a few years ago to learn all I could about the miraculous power of Jesus and how that power is made available to Christians today. I made great strides in my quest throughout that year (2005). Through a culmination of events I was side tracked for seven years, I know you're thinking; how could you have allowed that to happen, but it is what it is. The important thing is that God has gotten me back on track and I am reviewing what I researched and discovered seven or so years ago and am in the process of compiling that information, along with fresh research, and will be posting the results of my studies over the next few months. I hope to be able to make available information that I had searched so long to find. Topics will be Spiritual Warfare, Divine Healing, Prayer, Generational Curses, Freedom from Bondage, etc. Please bookmark this blog and check back often to stay updated. Visit my "Store" link on the right to find many resources (books, CD's, DVD's, etc.) that will help you on your journey to discovering the full power of the Spirit of God.

God Bless,
Ken
