It is He Who Opens New Doors to Heavenly Healing

Yes, Yes, Schizophrenics do get better. Some much better and some all better. Praise God.
Some get better with time.  Some get better with medications.
Some get better with nutrition and vitamins.
Some get better by attending healing services. Some get better miraculously.
Some get well, fast as a tornado and some get well, slow as a turtle.
Regardless. God is at work in all. (regardless of one's beliefs, for God is our lover, our creator) .

Daniel speaks of a Babylonian king's healing of mental illness. 

The complete healing was not year l, nor year 2, not year 3, nor year 4, not year 5, nor year 6, but year 7. God is not only in the medical business of restoring sanity in the old testament, but also in the new testament, plus today and tomorrow, for God is not dead.  Today most doctors do not come to us; we go to them.  Doctor God is waiting for us to come to Him, not begging, but trusting, without any doubt.  Only then can He help us adequately, for doubt brings hindrance like puss is to a wound. 

The Letter of Aristeas verses 312-316 in the Pseudepigrapha (written 200 BC) speaks about insanity resulting from violating holy scripture.    www.ccel.org/c/charles/otpseudepig/aristeas.htm 

"He (King Ptolemy of Egypt) said to Demetrius (President of the king's library), 'How is it that none of the historians or the poets have ever thought it worth their while to allude to such a wonderful achievement?'  He replied, 'Because the law is sacred and of divine origin.  Some of those who formed the intention of dealing with it have been smitten by God and therefore desisted from their purpose.'  He said that he had heard from Theopompus that he had been driven out of his mind for more than 30 days because he intended to insert in his history some of the incidents from the earlier and somewhat unreliable translations of the law.  When he had recovered a little, he besought God to make it clear to him why the misfortune had befallen him.  It was revealed to him in a dream, that from idle curiosity he was wishing to communicate sacred truths to common men, and that if he desisted, he would recover his health.  I have heard, too, from the lips of Theodektes, one of the tragic poets, that when he was about to adapt some of the incidents recorded in the book for one of his plays, he was affected with cataracts in both his eyes.  When he perceived the reason why the misfortune had befallen him, he prayed to God for many days and was afterwards restored."
   
Often there are spiritual doors one must open before going into full permanent recovery.
However, God can never, never be put into a box.
In Revelation 4:20 KJV God says, "Behold, I stand at the door and knock.  If any man hears My voice and opens the door, I will come in to him and will eat with him and he with Me."

            John 10:9 TNAB  "I am the gate (door).  Whoever enters through Me will be saved."
    Let us consider a few of many doors to God, to eternal life, and and to His healing:  Doors of:

                                                                    communion

One door to healing is  receiving communion: bread (body of Christ) and wine (blood of Christ) at church.  In The Hidden Power of the Believer's Touch Chavda calls receiving communion one of the keys to healing.  Scripture tells us that many become sick and die for taking communion, without first confessing our sins to God: (1st Corinthians 11:27-30)    "Therefore, whoever eats the bread or drinks the cup of the Lord (takes communion) in an unworthy manner will be guilty of sinning against the body and blood of the Lord.  A man ought to examine himself (go to confession) before he eats of the bread and drinks of the cup.  For anyone who eats and drinks without recognizing he body of the Lord eats and drinks judgment on himself.  That is why many among you are weak and sick, and a number of you have fallen asleep."

Visualization and meditation is a valuable tool during communion.  For instance, say that you have arthritis in the hip.  Then you can picture the slain Lamb of God taking  your diseased hip bone and replacing your hip bone with a new one from His parts department.  Christ became sin and diseased on the cross.  His maladies are those of ours yesterday, today, and tomorrow.  The brain can be healed the same way. 

Henry Wright's cassette tape  Teaching on Health and Disease: Relative to the Sacrament of Communion may be of value. Two Catholics have had wonderful healings in their ministries incorporating "healing mass for the living" and "Requiem mass for deceased relatives".   English psychiatrist Kenneth McAll's A Guide to Healing the Family Tree www.marianland.com, plus Father John Hampsch's Healing the Family Tree, and Healing Power of the Eucharist www.claretiantapeministry.org explain that when conventional medicine fails, Doctor Jesus does not.  They teach their congregation to forgive both the living and the deceased relatives and to then take communion, because the blood of Jesus goes backwards down the blood line to remove all curses and forward to give blessings in their own blood line. They encourage their congregation do a genealogical family tree which is to also include the family sins and diseases.  This often reveals inherited curses which need to be confessed, forgiven and put under the blood of Jesus.

Henry Wright www.pleasantvalleychurch.org  believes that a lot of our unconfessed sins stem from evil spirits, like pus  being the result of infections and illness being the result of inherited diseases.  For example, the "spirit" of fear can cause strokes, high blood pressure, stress, anxiety and paranoia.  Jesus told us in His traditional Lord's Prayer to forgive others so that our heavenly Father can forgive us.  When we forgive others, ourselves and even God, that opens the door for God to begin healing in that area, to lance the area where the pus is.  Often many curses are due to spiritual and psychological issues, even as far back as childhood.  Forgiveness is not about the other person, rather it is about allowing Doctor Jesus to begin His operation on and in our lives and allowing Dr Jesus to start the healing process in our hearts, minds and bodies.

Henry Wright believes that bitterness against dead people can be resolved by forgiving them before God.  The Lord's Prayer says, "Father, forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us."  The point being that God looks at the heart, our heart.

Second, if someone else has grudge against us, then that is his problem between him and God.  If we have done all that we can do to remedy any situation in which we are guilty, then the rest is up to God.  God looks at the heart not the sin, per Wright.

What about abuse?  If our parent or our mate abused us physically or violated us mentally or spiritually, do we have to honor them?  Wright suggests no, we do not have to keep secret their evil deeds when talking to the medical, church, or therapy community which is in place to help us heal.  We can honor them the way we would honor a friend, but not allow our family to abuse us, ever again.  When we go to the altar and forgive, we release the enemy from having to fix the sin, apologize, give us alimony, whatever we expect.  We allow the Lord to become our husband and provider.

"90% of those having evil spirits have an open door due to deep hurts in life, making it difficult to get close to Jesus.  Often they (clergy) counsel those seeking deliverance to 1st attend the (morning) Eucharist daily for a month and (stay in church) after the Eucharist to spend a half hour adoring Jesus.  This weeds out those coming only for relief and unwilling to make a deep commitment to Jesus...Those returning are often free of all spirits, because they have grown closer to Jesus...The evil one will leave easily and for good only when all wounds (invitations/incentives/legal grounds for) inviting him (the evil spirit) back are healed (gone)...Be (not) so concerned about whether or not they have (one has) an evil spirit, but rather (more importantly) whether they are (one is) growing closer to Jesus Christ."
(Remember, Jesus counseled the disciples to be joyful that their names were written in heaven, rather than joyful because demons had fled during their ministry to demonized individuals.)

                                                             DELIVERANCE from INIQUITY
                                                           INIQUITY = INHERITED DISEASE

Another intriguing issue is that of a child's inherited disease, where the root cause is the parent's sin. Wright contends that he has seen children instantly healed when the parents acknowledge and confess to God their sin. 1st Corinthians 7:14 says, The unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband; otherwise your children would be unclean (cursed with problems), but as it is, they are holy (blessed with God's mercy and kindness)..

Henry Wright in his book A More Excellent Way further contends that some are not healed because God looks at the heart instead of the brain.  Attitude seems to be a big ticket item with God.  Judas was one of the chosen disciples, yet he did not ask for forgiveness when he sinned.  Saul was chosen, yet he did not ask for forgiveness when he sinned.  David was chosen, but he did ask for forgiveness when he sinned.  Wright goes on to say that temptation is not a sin.  Just because we think something does not make us condemned.  According to Wright, an exception would be fantasy lust, where we commit acts in our mind.  If we are married this affects our mate.

With mental illness the lines are not so clear.  This is when we need to go back to God's heart and trust His love and mercy always remembering that condemnation comes from Satan.  Second, we must always remember never to harm oneself or another individual.  For instance, if I believe that God wants me to sacrifice a child or kill an individual, I would follow a rule of "When in doubt, do not do it.", or "Thou shall not kill, murder, mercy kill, commit suicide, etc - Ever - And will sign a contract to allow temporary intervention when I have shared that I plan to harm myself or another.

Wright teaches that "Christians" often do not receive healings due to lack of "sanctification", that is daily repentance and growing spiritually in the Lord.  Matthew 6:33 explains this.  Seek first the kingdom of God and His righteousness; and all things (items on your wish list) will be added to you. 

Finally Wright notes that, as long as "Christians" do not know scripture, they will be defeated by the enemy, for they will not be able to distinguish between God's thoughts, Satin's thoughts, and human thoughts.

Perry Stone contends that we need daily communion, just as Moses and his tribe did when they daily partook of the manna. that fell from heaven into the desert.  Remember, for 40 years no one got sick, nor did their shoes or clothes wear out.  Stone believes that those who take daily communion will be healed, will keep their healings, and be protected as was the Tribe of Moses, from disease, enemies, harm, and lack of food or water. www.perrystone.org 
Stone has 3 items which may be of interest: Meal that Heals' video, book, communion set.

Even if one were to label healing of the mind as a psychosomatic cure, speaking positively and in accordance with the will of God would still trigger a spiritual law of cause and effect in the soul, in the spirit and in the invisible spiritual realm, the same way the scientific law of gravity would cause a rock to fall instead of rise on the earth. 

There is a  wonderful story told by Liardon in John G Lake, The Complete  Collection of His Life Teachings www.robertsliardon.org   It tells of lepers in South Africa who were healed at communion on Christmas eve.  Now that is no psychosomatic cure.  That is the real thing done by a real God.  A God who is not dead, but is alive, today, in this generation.

Dr John Miller has two 2003 radio broadcasts on cassette espousing the healing virtue of communion.  www.sidroth.org 

Iniquity Scripture

JOB 34:22 KJV There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

                                                                 BLOOD OF JESUS 
                                              Healing through applying the blood of Christ

Another door to healing is appropriating the Blood of Jesus.  The old testament church applied the blood of a lamb to forgive sins and the blood of a lamb to prevent death.  Jesus Christ came to fulfill the old testament requirements.  The lamb of the old testament is a symbol of the Messiah, the Lamb of God.  In communion we drink His blood and eat His body.  When we speak aloud, "Blood of Jesus", both to ourselves and to Satan, we disarm the enemy and empower the angels to assist us. Whether we drink or apply the blood of the Messiah, we tap into His forgiveness, healing and protection.  Joyce Meyer has a music CD on the blood of Jesus.  One day a lady had the urge to play that tape.  As she got out of her chair to respond to God's urging, a bullet whizzed by the place where she had been sitting, hit metal, and bounced back at the robber outside the window. www.joycemeyer.org

                                                        REPENTANCE

The front door of Christianity is confession: asking Jesus Christ for and receiving forgiveness of - our sins.      To be healed or to stay healed one needs to forgive.  (This does not mean that we allow another to harm us.)
The Lord's Prayer reads "(Lord) Forgive us our trespasses, as we (also) forgive those who trespass against us." 
(Matthew 6:12)        Jesus Christ paid the penalty for our sins on the cross.
Jesus says He is the door to God and the door to eternal life.
"I (Jesus) am the door: By Me if any man enter in, he shall be saved." (John 10:9 KJV)                        Once we have been forgiven of our sins and forgiven others, then we invite Jesus into our heart to live permanently.  He always says yes.  One can be a pastor or theologian and have head knowledge, but Jesus does not live in the head, He lives in the heart.  Heart knowledge is comparable to marriage consummation, where each mate knows each other in an experiential manner which they did they did not comprehend prior to virginity. 
Elly Matz, a holocaust survivor, tells in It Was Worth It All of a priest who had her repeat this prayer, after she had confessed her sins, and before he gave her communion, "Lord Jesus, come into my heart."  Then he gave her last rites and told her that when she died she would go to heaven.. Instead of dying she was immediately healed.  What a grand illustration of God acing in communion.

There is another confession, that of saying out loud to ourselves and others that we are a chip off the old shoulder, in other words, a child of God with God like qualities, not the former self, with the enemy's self-defeating character traits of Satan, our former father.  When we become a child of God, we become princes and princes with lots of inheritance and lots of power.  We are no longer a nobody.  We are a somebody - to God.  A family member.  Let us, as would any adopted child, begin to identify with our new value.  Let us internalize who we are - in God, lest we sabotage ourselves and others.  As we practice our new walk with God, we will blossom into the son or daughter we already are, for an adopted child is never disinherited nor divorced nor disowned.  As we learn to trust our new Dad, then we will be more able to lay claim to those healings we need so badly.  Some of those healings will sneak into our life without our immediate awareness, as we relish our relationship with our new Dad.  It is imperative that we read His word daily, so we will recognize all that we are in Him.

There is a third confession, that of always speaking aloud and in our heart those words of God found in scripture.  It encompasses NOT speaking those words and thoughts which are from our old nature and from Satan.  Such words are our enemy and will demoralize and defeat us  Beware lest we speak gossip, illness, disease, and death.  Speaking aloud such words glues them to ourselves and blocks God's healing work.  We become a danger to ourselves. Cancer, for example, multiplies under such adverse confession.  Now we know why the Bible talks about cutting out our tongue.  However, please do not do this.  It is the mind that gives permission to the mouth.  Every muscle needs exercise.  We need to exercise the muscle to shut up, when we feel like confessing our weaknesses.  Let us instead, when we go to our therapist, confess the good things that are happening in our lives plus the hopes and  goals that we have.  If our counselor asks a question, we can say yes or no, but we do not need to repeat weekly the woes we have previously shared.

                                                             POSITIVE THINKING

The Door of Positive Thinking and Not Stinking Thinking is profound.  God SPOKE the world into existence from nothing, whereas the Devil SPOKE disease and evil into existence by deceit and lies. (The greatest lie of the Devil is "that there is no Devil".) (The second greatest lie of the Devil is "that there is no God.")   Our SPEAKING positively out loud  God's (Scriptural) truth and best goals grows health.  Our speaking negatively makes the Devil happy and contributes to disease and death. Don Gossett in  What You Say Is What You Get, cites Kenneth Hagin who says that Mark 11:23 is the secret to success in obtaining miracles from God.  What is Mark 11:23?  It is Jesus Christ saying, "Whoever shall say...and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he says shall come to pass; he shall have whatever he says."   The Apostle Paul says to the Philippians, "I can do all things through Christ Who strengthens me." Gossett claims, "Now, that's the secret...Instead of saying, 'I can't receive healing.' begin to affirm: 'Through Christ Who strengthens me, I can do all things; I can receive healing; I can be made completely whole through Christ, Who is my strength and my healer; by His stripes I am healed.'"

Gossett and Kenyon in The Power of Your Words, contend that Holy Spirit filled Christians are impotent to do God's work, due to "foot in mouth disease".  They lack power due to their silence or negative speech.  The implication is that devils, disease and death cannot flee without God speaking to their ears through our mouths.  Most of us have that ability to "bite our tongue" before speaking a negative word, plus the ability to talk when we need to, so let us go for the gold.  Our best weapon for health is right in our own mouth, not the doctor's hands, not the priest's hands, our hands. An illustration is depression. Suppose I take meds for that.  As I daily exercise positive confession, regardless of how I feel, my mood improves as I am obedient. It is imperative that we speak what God speaks in scripture and that we refrain from speaking what our 5 senses dictate. We are not to repeat over and over our fears and doubts, especially not at bedtime.. There are spiritual as well as physical muscles. God is not dead, but asleep inside us.  As we exercise our spiritual muscles, God will begin to wake up in our lives.  Practice, practice, practice. Practice speaking God's word not our own word.   This is not a mind game.  It is allowing God to grow us up.  We all have weak knees. Let us be patient, both with God and ourselves.

                                                   BAPTISM IN THE HOLY SPIRIT

Water baptism  in the Name of Jesus and baptism  in the Holy Spirit are doors to healing. 
Acts 19:2-6  explains:  "Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?"  They answered, "No, we have not even heard there is a Holy Spirit." So Paul asked, "Then what baptism did you receive?"  "John's baptism," they replied.  Paul said, "John's baptism was a baptism of repentance.  He told the people to believe in the One coming after him, that is, in Jesus."  On hearing this, they were baptized into the name of the Lord Jesus.  When Paul placed his hands on them the Holy Spirit came on them, and they spoke in tongues and prophesied.  Smith Wigglesworth contends that baptism in the Holy Spirit is a  must for every human who wants to live a disease free life.  Mahesh Chavda in The Hidden Power of the Believer's Touch blesses us with a story of an insane woman who became well after going swimming near a group of people who were being baptized in the Congo River, for the Lord did not pass her by. 

R Liardon in John G Lake, The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings www.robertsliardon.org shares a wonderful story of Lake's first deliverance (immediately after God had baptized John G Lake as the early disciples had received it and after God had told Lake that he would cast out demons).  A grain elevator manager became insane while attending a religious service and was committed to an asylum. 2 and a half years later that same man was brought by a hospital staff attendant and delivered by God during Lake's service.  Not only that, the man got his old job back as manager.  Awesome.  Lake went on to say that at that time he had seen God deliver over 100 mentally ill people.  Now that was around 1898.  Oh that more people then and more people now would be aware that God is still healing the incurable. 

During a June 2003 television broadcast, Binny Hinn  www.bennyhinn.com  told  how (jewelry) a snake ring contained demonic power, but when removed the young lady was set free from male voices and violent energy.  He also told how his own father was prevented from coming to God, until he burned one of his dad's hidden books. The ring would not come off, nor would the book burn until the Name of Jesus was applied.  As the book burned, voices came out of the book.  That is a glimpse into the real world of demons, who can inhabit inanimate things and molest the owners of such ungodly possessions.  Beware of what you call a treasure, lest the treasure contain a genie begetting evil rather than good.  Thus we recommend Ed and Alice Smith's Spiritual House Cleaning

The Pentecostal or Charismatic door is asking for and receiving the supernatural gifts of healing, insight, wisdom, teaching, speaking foreign languages or speaking heavenly languages.   All are packaged in the person of the Holy Spirit.     
The main thing is that we allow God to open the door of our heart.
Then He can enter in and begin to mend the broken places and kiss the bruises.  Roberts Liardon in John G Lake, The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings astonishes us with the healing of a boy who had been mad from birth.  How utterly awesome to know that God through you and I can heal such a castaway.  www.robertsliardon.org How inspiring to once again hope for restoration to normalcy. What a hope. What a God that is not at all dead.  It is we who have been asleep all these years, like Rip van Winkle.

                                                                     INTERCESSION

Another door to healing is intercession.  One might enjoy Jim Goll's The Lost Art of Intercession www.reapernet.com

In Scripture Jesus said that where 2 or 3 are gathered together in His name, there He is also.  There is a breath taking autobiography of Lake and his congregation who together with God cured an insane woman miles away in an institution.  It compels us to enter the door of intercession and group prayer, so that God may continue to rescue. John G Lake's 9/27/14 sermon complied by Roberts Liardon  www.robertsliardon.org  is astounding:

"I have told you in this congregation on another occasion of how a friend of mine arose one Sunday morning in our tabernacle and presented a request for prayer with many tears saying, 'I have been a member of this congregation for 4 years.  I have witnessed God heal all kinds of people - the lame, the halt, the blind, deaf, dumb, insane, etc.  And this morning I am convicted of God that I have never even presented a request for prayer for a cousin of mine, who is in an insane asylum in Whales.'   Something about the man's spirit touched my own heart.  The spirit of God was deeply present.  I invited the congregation to join in prayer as I knelt on the platform to pray. 
As my heart went out to God in prayer, something transpired within and to me that I can only describe like this:  Presently, my sight and consciousness were awakened to the fact that from this one and that one, from perhaps a hundred divergent streams, faith and power was coming to my spirit and concentrating in me as shafts of light.  Indeed, it was the spirit of faith being imparted to my spirit from the hearts of those who knelt throughout the house.  An unusual consciousness of God's power and presence swept over me and presently this seemed to take place, and I believe it did take place.        
In my consciousness I observed that I was no longer in that tabernacle.  The first place I became aware of was passing the city of Kimberly. Then I became conscious that I  was at Cape Town, South Africa, 1,000 miles from Johannesburg.  Presently, I remember of the Cape Verde Lighthouse on the coast of Spain, and I remember of distinctly passing the shores of France.  I entered the hills of Wales (I had never been in Wales), but as I  went over those hills presently I came to a little village and outstanding was a building that I recognized as the asylum.
I went into that place, walked straight into the room where a woman was strapped to the sides of a cot, and as consciously as I stand here now I put my hands on the woman's head and in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ rebuked the insane spirit that possessed her and cast it out.
Her face became calk, and she smiled up into my face.  I recognized in the look of her eyes the awakened consciousness. 
All the time  I had been kneeling on the platform at Johannesburg, and my heart and my voice had been expressing my desire to God...
Throughout the word of God we read many times this expression, 'The Spirit of the Lord caught away Elijah, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Elisha, the Spirit of the Lord caught away Jeremiah.' or Amos or one of the other prophets.  Now that doesn't mean that their physical body was transported to another place in all instances, though in some I believe it does.  But it does mean that the inner man, the conscious spirit man, was transported for the time being to another place and he saw and performed acts there. 
As quickly as a letter could come from Wales, my friend received a letter saying, 'A strange thing has happened.  Our cousin who has been in the asylum was suddenly and instantly healed on the last Lord's day, and she is well.'
Beloved, I was there. I could tell you to this hour of the old-fashioned brass that was on the door and the pattern of that old Welsh knocker on the door.  There was not a detail of the room that  I  did not see, and there was not a detail of the trip from Africa to Wales that  I was not as conscious of as I  was at a later time when I came via that route on purpose, to prove whether or not it were a fact...
My person and being was in the attitude of prayer on the platform at Johannesburg, but I  was conscious.  And the woman was conscious  that out from by being something went that carried my consciousness with it, and I consciously performed acts and witnessed scenes that in the natural were impossible.  What was it that was transported or projected, for the time being, from my person, but the spiritual entity, the real me, self, or ego in such a degree that it was able to bring back to me all the consciousness that it possessed.
My thought of the Christ is exactly that thing.  All through the Word of God we see this.  The visible manifestation of God as He appeared to man at different times was in the form of Christ."

Yes, this true story is just another resurrection miracle. 
Praise to God.  What inspiration for the mentally ill.

Exciting emphasis is now being put on the fact that BY CHRIST'S STRIPES WE ARE HEALED.  Isaiah says in the Bible's Old Testament (Isaiah, Chapter 53, New International Version) "by His wounds we are healed".  Likewise, in the New testament of the Bible (I Peter, Chapter 2) Peter says, "by His wounds you have been healed."  (Jesus' apostle Peter is the rock on which the Catholic Church is said to be founded.) Based on the testimony of Isaiah (a Jew) and the testimony of Peter: CHRIST PROCURED OUR HEALING "BEFORE WE WERE BORN".

                                                             APPROPRIATION

All we need to do is take our healing. This is called the door of appropriation. Think of this as money in the bank.  If God put money in the bank with our name on the account, then all we need to do is write a check.  The money will not jump into our wallet until we acknowledge that the money (plus the interest) is there and act upon that fact. Don Gosset in What You Say is What You Get  states that "God cannot lie; we know we can believe anything God says in His Word.  If it is in God's Word, we can know it's true.  That is why Jesus said, 'If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask what you will, and it shall be done.' (John 15:7 TEV) What a promise!  It's like a blank check on the bank of heaven." God gave us the medicine to cure us 2000 years ago.  All we need to do is to take the medicine. The brand name of the medicine is Jesus Christ.

Wommack, Andrew - www.awmi.net

Henry Wright in A More Excellent Way, says "I teach something called appropriation of what was done at the cross.  It's the only thing that makes any sense.  It's called appropriation, and it was granted when Christ died.  He died for all the sins of the world.  Did He do that?  Did He pay for all sins once and for all?  Is everyone saved?  But it was finished.  If it was finished, then why isn't everyone saved?  Because you have to appropriate it by faith.  It's the same way with healing.  Just because it says by His stripes we were healed and He bore the penalty of the curse, doe not mean that you get to keep your sin and get your freedom. www.pleasantvalleychurch.net

If we accept the fact that we are healed, then we need to stop nagging God and start thanking Him.  There is a good Bible illustration that shows what happens in the invisible before the visible appears.        "Daniel, you who are highly esteemed...since the first day that you set your mind to gain understanding and to humble yourself before God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to them.  But the prince of the Persian kingdom  resisted me 21 days.  Then (the angel) Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, because I was detained there with the king of Persia...Soon I will return to fight against the (demon) prince of Persia, and when I go, the (demon) price of Greece will come...No one supports me against them except Michael, your prince." (Daniel chapter 10 NIV Bible)

Pastor Don Bryant says that the issue for Christians is "not that you believe in God, but that you believe God."  (www.coastalchurch.com)
Pastor Paul Cox says, "It is dangerous to believe God." because then you have to take Him at His word. (www.aslansplace.org)

Likewise,  Jesus procured our eternal life in heaven before we were born, at the same moment He procured our healing.  Oswald Chambers in Grow Up Into Him, Talks on Christian Habits explains, "Jesus Christ's last command to His disciples was not to go and save the world, the saving is done; He told them to go and make disciples.  Our work is to 'open men's eyes, to turn them from darkness to light, from the power of Satan unto God, that they may receive forgiveness of sin.' ie. that they may receive the Redemption which is complete but which is incredible to a man until he does receive it."  Whether it is salvation or healing, either is available for free. Only believe. Jesus said, "Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11:24 Bible NIV)   Famous Smith Wigglesworth even goes so far as to insist that any Bible promise (such as healing) is not even to be prayed about, but is to be received and acted upon. www.aliveword.com                                                                                        
In Africa more Muslims than Christians receive healings "according to their faith".  www.cfan.org.
                                                                   BELIEVE
Only trust.  Take God at His word.  A gentleman's handshake.  A promise to keep. Perhaps you have been hurt by life or by your earthly dad, so it is difficult to trust our heavenly dad.  Do not depend on your feelings.  Feelings are human.  God our Father created us in the womb.  He is our parent, too.  Dare to trust Him.  Don't quit when you do not see the evidence right away.  Abraham waited years (not days) after God promised him a son.  Both physical and spiritual muscle takes time to build.  What infant would ever learn to walk if he quit on the first fall?  Be patient with yourself and with God.  He loves you.   Each time we trust in our feelings or trust what we see with our eyes, then we are defeated, until we claim the Words of God once again.  The Apostle Peter walked on water until he became afraid.  Jesus Christ cried out on the cross, "Why have You forsaken Me?"  God saved His own Son's victory until 3 days after the suffering and trial of Jesus Christ.  God allows many to go through a baptism of fire for our purification, testing, and subsequent great use.  There is a saying, 'No Pain, No Gain.'  An unrefined diamond is not beautiful.  Suffering can be a gift from God for those He knows have great value for mankind.    There is no better school than the school of hard knocks.  Even for Christ, suffering produced forgiveness for sins (past, present and future), plus the death of death for those who believe in the resurrection of the body, and death of disease (yes even now in the present).  While we (who are ill) and we (who love those who are ill) wait and suffer, we learn lessons we would never have had the opportunity to learn.

                                                      SPEAK IN THE NAME OF JESUS

Another door to healing is speaking the Name of Jesus.  Acts 19:11-17   illustrates the power of the name of Jesus:  "God did  extraordinary miracles through Paul, so that even handkerchiefs and aprons that had touched him were taken to the sick, and their illnesses were cured and the evil spirits left them.  Some Jews who went around driving out evil spirits tried to invoke the name of the Lord Jesus over those who were demon-possessed.  They would say, 'In the name of Jesus, whom Paul preaches, I command you to come out.'  7 sons of  Sceva, a Jewish chief priest, were doing this.  One day the evil spirit answered them, "Jesus I know, and I know about Paul, but who are you?"  Then the man   who had the evil spirit jumped on them and overpowered them all.  He gave them such a beating that they ran out of the house naked and bleeding.  When this became known to the Jews and Greeks living in Ephesus, they were all seized with fear, and the name of the Lord Jesus was held in high honor."                                                

Peter Gammons wrote The Powerful Name Of Jesus.  His Orlando ministry is near Disneyworld.  www.pgmi.org   Scripture (John 16:23-24 NIV) instructs those who believe in Jesus Christ: "I tell you the truth, My Father will give you whatever you ask in My name. Until now you have not asked for anything in My name. Ask and you will receive, and your joy will be complete."

Joyce  Meyer wrote  Be Healed In Jesus Name
                            + Battlefield of the Mind: Winning the Battle in Your Mind .  
She touches on the subject of spirits, which is NOT necessarily the usual cause of mental illness,
but may contribute to the harassment of the mind (oppression/torment) of a person who loves the Lord....
Joyce, on page 56, encourages us "to pray in Jesus' name.  By the power of His blood, come against 'mind-binding spirits.'  Pray this way not just one time but any time you experience difficulty."... 
On page 96, Joyce shows the importance of persistent Scripture quoting:

God often gives us spiritual understanding for "invisible" warfare.  In the Bible (2 Kings 6: 16-17) God opened the spiritual eyes of a servant:  "'Don't be afraid,' Elisha told him, 'for our army is bigger than theirs.'  Then Elisha prayed, 'Lord, open his eyes and let him see.'  And the Lord opened the young man's eyes so that he could see horses of fire and chariots of fire everywhere upon the mountain.'" 

Another area that Joyce stresses is the area of human nature where it is easier and more comfortable to take care of "me".  Nobody is going to tell me what to do, attitude.  Often when the Holy Spirit is mentoring us, He will nudge us to obey our superiors or signs.  When our boss or our mate orders us to do something, do we pout, grimace, scowl, talk back or do we smile without an inward grumble?  Do we park in handicapped spaces, throw or drop trash on the ground and not in the garbage barrel,  drop cigarette buts anywhere except in ash tray containers, keep lights on in hotel rooms, etc? The voice of the Holy Spirit is usually silent, but those who have asked Jesus to come into their heart can recognize His voice. Usually we do not want to listen.  We are too busy.  We are too important.  It is too inconvenient.  When we are not too busy and not too important for God, then He will be able to fine tune the violin or piano that we are so that we can begin to make music for Him that sounds like an instrument rather than a pan and pot in the kitchen.   

Sometimes infirmity is due to inherited disease, the underlining cause being demonic activity. Dr Paul L Cox expounds on how laypeople and pastors can sever generational curses.  www.aslansplace.org     aslanplace@earthlink.net   Chapter 12 of Cox's Heaven Trek delves into heavenly doors leading to heavenly rooms + heavenly gates leading into heavenly dimensions. "Lord, remove the walls"...open the gates, and open the doors, so that You can accomplish in me what You want to do.            
Another unique confirmation of this can be heard on Ceasar Paul's 9/15/02 audio tape from www.cornerstone-aog.org info@cornerstone-aog.org  One may want to take a look at Cal Pierce's Healing Rooms Ministries. www.healingrooms.com or (Thomaston, Georgia, USA) Rev Henry Wright's book A More Excellent Way www.theherbsplace.com/excellent.html    Wright encourages us to resist (refuse to accept) illness and disease, often we have allowed evil spirits to become tenants..    Liardon in John G Lake, The Complete Collection of His Life Teachings  www.robertsliardon.org gives a biography of a lady with violent insanity  who was healed by Lake casting demons out of her.  Not only was her insanity gone, but a 15 year old abscess and rheumatism as well.  God is not on vacation, it is us who are on vacation.  Let us take back what the enemy has stolen, now that we realize "who" the cause of many of our diseases is, whereas before we did not know "what" the cause was.

                                                                           FAST
                                                                      Healing Fast

Another door to full recovery is the door of  fasting and prayer according to Jesus (Bible: TLB version, book of Matthew, chapter 17, verse 14-22).

One might appreciate Mahesh Chavda's book The Hidden Power of Prayer and Fasting. www.watchofthelord.com   In The Hidden Power of the Believer's Touch Chavda tells of a 40 year old mentally ill patient being delivered.  How awesome.  What hope.

Walters, Kathie  Macon, Georgia, USA  Living in the Supernatural    www.goodnews.netministries.org
Chapter 3 Our Inheritance  tells of a diabetic being healed and subsequently relapsing due to unforgiveness, the door she opened for this sickness to return.  Repentance solved this issue.
Chapter 6 The Holy Spirit's Visitation  "A guest minister suddenly spoke a word by the Spirit, 'Are you going to push through the crowd like the woman who touched the hem of Jesus' garment?'"
"Each one of us has our own personal 'crowd.'  That crowd consists of things that keep you from touching Jesus.  My crowd may not be the same as yours, although some things may be similar."

Henry Wright, who heads up a Georgia, USA healing/deliverance mininsty, has a cassette called Insights into Fasting which can be obtained at www.pleasantvalleychurch.net. Wright believes that most stubborn diseases and negative thoughts/emotions have evil spirits as their root cause.  He teaches discernment/insight/recognition need to come prior to binding and casting out.  

Mel & Desiree Ayres have a Hollywood ministry based on fasting.  An autobiography 7/28-8/1/03 or teachings may be obtained on cassette.  www.sidroth.org/radiobroadcasts.htm

In 2002 John W. Carver, Jr and Timothy Enloe obtained permission from Dr. Price's family to republish two books of Dr. Charles S. Price called The Meaning of Faith & The Sick are Healed (Resolving the Mysteries of Faith).                   
Chapter 12 Faith is the Victory expounds on the merits of the stripes of Christ:

    Dr. Price' s Chapter 16, What Is Divine Healing?, section Healing is Your Inheritance, reminds Christians and Messianic Jews:

An awesome concept is that God has given us the power of attorney for Jesus Christ.  As lay people, we have the legal right with the full authority to speak or to act on behalf of the Name of Jesus Christ and heal the sick.  This is explained in The Wonderful Name of Jesus by E W Kenyon, who states, "for the healing of a sick one...we take Jesus' place and use Jesus' Name just as though Jesus Himself were here.  The only difference is that, instead of Jesus doing it, we are doing it for Him; we are doing it at His command.  He has given to us the same authority He had when He was here, and the believer's position in Christ gives him the same standing with the Father that Christ had when He was here." (see: www.kenyons.org)  Don Gossett (and Kenyon) mention the power of attorney application of God's words to our situation in The Power of Your Words      www.dongossett.com   
Also check out Peter Gammons Ministry International  www.pgmi.org

As a child of God one has the privileges and responsibilities of a son.  As a brother or sister of Jesus, one shares in the family inheritance and the present spiritual powers. These powers are not personally owned nor are they even human powers but God's power, including the power to heal and be healed.  Jesus is here, and though we cannot see Him, He is working through the power of His Name and His Holy Spirit, because Jesus is not dead.  He rose from the dead to give us heavenly power, but most of all to give us a relationship with Himself, for He desires us as a groom desires a bride.  Satan says, "Bull."  Jesus says He loves us.  It is safe to ask Jesus to be our lover.  It is safe to ask Jesus to heal our wounds.  "...With his stripes we are healed (Bible: NKJ Version, Isaiah 53:5)."  It is safe to trust Him.  It is good to be nothing.  Then Jesus can be our everything.  Then He can begin to grow us up into a treasure that gives Him much pleasure.  It is not what we do or say.  It is what He does in and through us.

If you have not invited Him to be your mate, your lover, your God, your friend, your healer, your comforter, then dare to speak out loud these few words:

                                                                       GRATITUDE

A frequent door missed by many is the attitude of gratitude, so much so that we tithe at least 10% of our time, money and talent to the Lord for the benefit of others.  Malachi 4:8-11 admonishes us:    
"You are cursed with a curse, for you have robbed Me; even this whole nation.  Bring all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in My house.  Prove Me now, says the Lord of hosts, and see if I will open the window of heaven and pour out a blessing that, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.  I will rebuke the devourer for your sakes and he shall not destroy."

                                                                          PRAISE

Praise is another door to healing.  An amazing true story about praise causing deliverance and healing is published by the Foundation of Praise. Contact www.merlincarothers.com  for this free brochure of Marilyn Foglio's biography A Most Amazing Story of a mentally ill patient locked up in a hospital -  until her father began to praise God.  Scripture tells us that God inhabits the praise of His people.
Praise is a shortcut to healing

Be reminded.  Healing is NOT obtained by a charitable contribution, bribe, purchase or cunning.  Neither is it obtained by education, a seminary degree, works or a magic formula.  Ana Mendez-Ferrell reminds us that it is only found in our "position in Christ". www.anamendez.org  In other words, God looks at our heart attitude.  We can be sincere, but sincerely wrong, so we need to know God's heart.  Usually that is by reading, listening to, speaking aloud, meditating on, and standing on God's word in scripture.  In order to receive, we need first to BELIEVE.  If we cannot believe, then someone needs to stand in the gap for us.  Do not faint, until you have received the prize.  But may the real prize be Jesus, our mate, not just our date.  Let us not look just for the presents but the giver of the presents, Santa Clause.   Not just the mender of our bodies, minds and hearts, but the doctor Himself, Jesus. http://www.voiceofthelight.com/vision.html
Ana's book Seated in Heavenly Places shares that there are many doors to/from heaven, some predetermined and some opened by prayer.  In addition, there are roads for God's angels to travel between earth and heaven.  Chapter 10 continues to say that the Blood of Jesus Christ made available "frequent flyer" access to heavenly realms for Christians desperate enough to pursue intimacy with God.
2nd Corinthians 5:6  I (Paul) say, "We are confident and willing to be absent from the body and to be present with the Lord."
One of Ana's bi-lingual DVDs Fundamentals of Toma Territory  #D4003-1 shares that there are high centers of cities and doors facing west that are demonic doors/gates through which evil enters at sunset when darkness begins.  Likewise there are certain places/open doors on earth where/when angelic activity is highest at sunrise.  Since the kingdom of God is in us, we can be anywhere to do God's work to close demonic doors and to open heavenly doors. (Alzheimer's and other seniors may experience sunset disorientation as "sundowning" http://www.caregiver.on.ca/cgcihidmsd.html     http://www.everything2.com/index.pl?node_id=1433428 ) [Many expect the returning Christ to set His foot on the Temple Mount (guarded by the Muslims) and enter Jerusalem through the abandoned eastern gate of the temple.]
An aside: (Ana and Emerson Ferrel's book and English/Spanish DVD Regions of Captivity mention that sometimes opening a door to evil is blamed as a cause of evil or relapse.  However, sometimes problems arise when the spiritual prison door has NOT been locked after one has left captivity.  Sometimes problems arise because an invisible root issue has NOT been taken care of.  An overview of one major cause and cure of problems, especially psychiatric problems is found at  HEART_MIND_WILL .)

Johnson, Bill    The Supernatural Power of a Transformed Mind - Access to a Life of Miracles    www.ibethel.org
Redding, California, USA    Chapter 8 Enduring Uncertainty reminds us that "many people have NO gate (door) because they  won't PRAISE Him...That gate - that place of praise in the midst of conflict is where His presence rests...The gate is formed when we move above human explanation and into a place of trust."

Doug Jones in Understanding the Healing Power of God compares healing to electricity.  In generations past electricity existed, but was only tapped into when people learned about and then applied what they learned to their benefit.  So it is with healing.  Ignorance is NOT bliss.  www.doubjonesministries.org

Tikkun, YM (pseudonym)       Whispers of the Shepherd     publisher    www.destinyimage.com 
Spiritual impressions/insights
Locked Doors  "There are doors to the mind, the spirit, and the body...Undeserved pain and suffering can open doors...
The experience of rejection, for example, causes an imprint of pain to be left upon one's body, soul, and spirit....
Not expelling the pain and its companions first would mean the pain of rejection would stay within you.  The 'flies' of it would buzz about, bringing destruction and disease...
See Me.  I am the One Who expels all manifestations of personal pain from your life.  I am your Deliverer and the Healer. 
Do not seek to slay the flies individually, by your own efforts.  Instead, allow Me...Give Me the keys to your doors.  I am your Guardian.  Let Me do the deep work of airing out the 'rooms of infestation' within you.  Allow Me the honor of exposing your gifts."

JEWISH FEASTS

Herzog, David    The Ancient Portals of Heaven - Glory, Favor and Blessings    www.thegloryzone.org
Herzog has found from literature (especially in the Old and New Testament) plus from personal experience that God visits us more readily and in greater manifestation on holy places plus holy feasts installed/initiated by Himself to be observed perpetually/forever!  Such days would be Jewish feasts and Sabbaths (between Friday midnight and Saturday midnight).  Places would be those sacred to the rabbis, especially Jerusalem and Israel.
"Experience being in both a geographical portal (Israel) and a seasonal portal (such as the Feast of Tabernacles) all at the same time, while standing in these open heavens" if/while vacationing in Israel, perhaps at a Messianic conference (during any of the Jewish feast days).  

Many consider one's observation of the Jewish feast days as being portals/doors/gates/windows to heaven.

                                                       CLOSING THE DOOR to heaven

Genesis 3:24 Alexander Harkavy  He drove out the man; and He placed at the east of the garden of Eden the Cherubim and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of life.  (When an evil spirit is driven out of our lives, we need to close and lock the gate.  We can enlist an angel to guard that gate, so no evil will return.  Daily we need to nurture our minds/bodies/spirits with and speak aloud the Word of God, which is the 2 edged sword of the Holy Spirit.)

Herzog, David    The Ancient Portals of Heaven - Glory, Favor and Blessings    www.thegloryzone.org
Chapter 4 Ancient Geographical Portals
Herzog believes that the Garden of Eden may have been or contained the front door to heaven, where one could freely go through the veil (to heaven).
Chapter 5 Seasonal Portals
Herzog clarifies for us the role of ruler Constantine, who after converting to Christianity, threw out the baby with the bathwater, that is, the Jews for killing Christ, according to his misunderstanding.  Constantine at his Council of Nicaea in AD 325 separated the Jews and Christians, plus eliminated the Jewish feasts and holy days in the Catholic/Christian liturgy, contradicting what God ordered to be implemented in perpetuity and thus closed many heavenly doors between heaven and earth! However, Theodosius (another anti-Semite) put teeth into Constantine's edicts by decreeing death to those celebrating Jewish feast days.

CLOSING THE DOOR to hell

JOB 38:17 KJV   Have the gates of death been opened unto thee, or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
Job 38:18 Messianic TLB    Has the location of the gates of Death been revealed to you?

Dickerman, Don                   When Pigs Move In                              http://www.dondickerman.net
Dickerman in Appendix lists 37 Biblical Curses, Grouping of Various Evil Spirits by function/assignment, and 60 Symptoms of Demonic Attack.
Chapter 4  How Do Demons Access Believers?  "Gateways to our life are often controlled by other people and other circumstances prior to birth and in our early childhood."
"Could evil spirits gain access to a believer's life through surgery?
...When a person is under anesthesia, there is a brief window, a transfer state where they are neither conscious nor unconscious...similar to a hypnotic state as they go from consciousness to unconsciousness, and the same thing happens when they come back out.  Maybe that's when it happens."
"Children...have received demons from cartoons...They fantasize.  This can invite demons."
Chapter 17 What Exactly Is Scriptural Deliverance?  "Some of the demons in the internal kingdom (of our flesh or mind) are assigned the duty of gatekeeper. 
It is their function to bring other demons...In...deliverance, I will address these spirits and command that when they leave, every gate is closed and locked!"
Chapter 22 Keeping Gates Closed shares clues or symptoms of demon activity: Ancestry, Lying, Unforgiveness, Negativity sins, Rejection issues, Trauma, Abuse, Sexual impurity, Dishonoring one's body, Occult activity, Pride, Blasphemy, Unholy objects.

Ferrell, Ana Mendez - Regions of Captivity  book/CD/DVDs - www.voiceofthelight.com
share with us that the shadow of death is a demonic PLACE under the earth where fractured/broken hearts (soul pieces) are held captive.  She mentors us how to stand in the gap for others and how to rescue them from Satan's hold.  [This is especially true for those who are (physically/mentally/spiritually) imprisoned in/by psychiatric illnesses.]
Houston, Texas, USA 2009 Regions of Captivity DVD#2 and book's chapter #2 share how God explained this concept to Ana in relation to her twin sister Mercedes' soul and how it was necessary for Ana to rescue Mercedes broken soul pieces from the place of imprisonment in the shadow of death.
God said, "Mercedes is trapped in the gate of the shadow of death.  You must go for her and bring her back." 
Job 38:17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death? God asks Job.
John 11:43  He (Jesus) called loudly, "Lazarus, come out!" (from the place of captivity, the prison in the shadow of death)
Psalm 142:8 Harkavy (Father God, You) Bring my soul out of prison, that I (David) may praise Thy name.
Psalm 147:3 Harkavy He (Father God, You) healeth the broken in heart and bindeth up their wounds.

Lozano, Neal - Resisting the Devil - A Catholic Perspective on Deliverance - www.heartofthefather.com   
Chapter 2 Do I Need an Exorcism? -
"Demonic possession means a door has been opened to a fallen angel, a demonic force, and...he is no longer (independently) able to resist the devil's lies and torturous activities."
Can a Believer Be Controlled by Evil Spirits?
"When a (Catholic) believer (in Jesus) experiences demonic harassment, the devil might feed him thoughts, such as 'The devil is in control' or 'I have committed the unforgivable sin; I am lost' or 'God cannot save me' or 'I must be possessed'...
(Accepting and/or obsessing on these demonic lies) "opens the door" (to delusion, which can be remediated by Catholic lay deliverance and/or professional exorcism, and other methods where God's Holy Spirit intervenes on one's behalf because of His great awesome love for each of His children, without exception.)

Linda reminds us that after evicting any evil spirit, one needs to close and seal the door to prevent re-entry.  Additionally one needs to invite the Holy Spirit to occupy the vacancy and then to heal any wounds, rehab the hurts/injuries, and grow our personalities up into the character of Christ.

http://www.goldengatesofgloryministry.org/Article7.htm      http://www.etpv.org/2005/od2ro.html
"'The Lord says there are walls around you that must come down so that He can accomplish in you what He wants.'
That was all I needed. I prayed, 'Lord, remove the walls.' Immediately the being stepped from the door and poured an anointing of the Lord on me. He then moved back through the door and the door closed. The Lord had just taught me to discern doors in heavenly places."
"There are many doors and they lead to many rooms designed to hold many things. Now, when I discerned the door, I invited each person to go through it. Their reports are amazing. Each person sees the door in a different way and they do go into rooms unique for them.  What takes place in the rooms is not just an unverifiable spiritual transaction, but many experience physical and emotional healings, or miraculous encounters with the Lord which manifest in their everyday life...

Jackson, John Paul - Heavenly Portals - http://www.etpv.org/2006/heport.html
Our heavenly portal is the blood of Jesus.
"Divine portals into the heavenly realm exist around the Earth today. The city of Jerusalem is a portal. In fact, it is the major portal on the face of the Earth. That's why both David and Isaiah said that Jerusalem is the center of the earth. Why do you suppose the enemy is trying to capture Jerusalem? He is trying to block or close off this portal.
In Moravian Falls, North Carolina, Rick Joyner has shared that he and his staff have had numerous angelic visitations on their property that was once owned by Count von Zinzendorf and the Moravian community of faith. Several portals exist on this land which had been prayed over by the Moravian brethren for over 100 years...
Many in the New Age movement recognize the existence of portals, the portals they recognize are those of the second Heaven."

Pierce, Chuck D. www.glory-of-zion.org I AM OPENING YOUR WAY: New Wars for New Blessings! 
via 6/4/2008 e-mail from kathiewalters@mindspring.com
"Dear Radiant Ones, you might want to print the following word from the Lord. I would encourage you to read it each day for a week. I believe the Lord is really attempting to encourage us with this revelation.
On a previous Sunday, I saw sovereign openings and opportunities coming to God's people. However,
I saw many leaning on their own understanding and mixing in their own desires, which brought leanness
in their souls. I then heard the Lord say,
'I am opening up a way for you. I'm causing that which was closed yesterday to be opened today.
Watch carefully for your opening! You won't see all that I have for you in the beginning, but I am calling you to the other side. You must go through the opening when you see it form before you. You must make
a move to go through! I have brought you to this hard place to make a move of faith. Today is your day of salvation. Move by faith and I will change the complexion of the other side where I'm sending you.
We must work together at this time. I've been working to get the place open for you to go through,
so step through and I will come and meet you on the other side. I sent the disciples forth at the right time and said, 'You cross over.' Then I came out on the water and walked to the boat. Today I say to you,
'You make the move and I'll meet you in days ahead, even in the times that seem rugged.'
Watch for the sovereign opening that I am creating on your behalf. Be ready. Don't make a list of what you are looking for on the other side. Just step through the opening! Your present demands are hindering the development of your future. Step through by faith! You are waiting in your own strength. Step out and mount up when I send the wind. Even adverse winds can cause you to rise through and into new places of victory.
I AM not working to give you strength for where you've been. I AM working to give you strength to step through and into a place that you cannot understand. Let My place open up, and step through into it.
You will be offered an opportunity.'
You Are Becoming My Weapon for Days Ahead.'
Some of you are trying to stay in the old war you've been in instead of hunting for your next war to get into. You're trying to make sure you are healed up from the wounds of the old war instead of taking all that junk you learned in the last one and say, 'Let it become my weapon in the future!' Make a shift! Make a shift! Make a shift! For you are becoming My weapon for days ahead.
Quit looking at the wars behind and start looking at what is ahead of you. Do not be afraid of the war ahead. Most of you will not be going back the way you've come. You keep trying to find your way back even when I am saying step through and into. When the way opens up, step through it. Don't worry about going back.
Many have even warred on the wrong side of My plan in the past season, but I am going to breathe on you and you will be transformed. Go through and into the new. You will forget the errors of the past and allegiance to the wrong side, and immediately find yourself on the correct side.
You are anticipating the war ahead and it is creating a fear within you. What you have been through has already built within you the ability to go in and gain My victory. You are watching the resources on this side but you have not stepped into that which I have in days ahead. I will give you eyes to see how to take one and make a hundred, but I'm going to use different skills in you and I'm going to be creative with things that I have stored up.
So step through! You are calculating with what you know you have, but I will multiply you with what you do not yet know of when you step through."
I Have Made Your Wounds From the Last Season Your Battle Ax for the Next Season.'
The evil eye has been stalking you in the last season. My eye will be guiding you as you go forth into this new season. Your wounds from the last season are causing you to stop short of the best I have ahead for you. These wounds are stopping you from warring for your promises in the new season. I have made your wounds from the last season your battle ax for the next season. You go and I will subdue! You go through and I will subdue! This is a redeeming window.
I am going to buy back all of what you did wrong. I am going to buy back where you've been held captive. I am going to open up a way, and when you step through you'll be hidden even from that past mess you were in. What is ahead might not be pretty or seem glorious in the beginning, but take advantage of this new opportunity and you can create the glory in the realm that I am calling you to experience.
You've been marching in one army but I am transferring you to another. You've been marching to one beat and one drum but I am bringing a different sound and saying, "Now MARCH!" Make your shift, and when you see the opening, go! You will be marching in a new way and I will set the course for your victory.
I will be with you to open up supply. Let go of the supply storages from the past season that had to be sacrificed. Nothing that was sacrificed by a heart set on Me will be lost. Let go and watch a new plan for your storehouse arise. March on! New supply is on your road ahead.' Blessings."   www.glory-of-zion.org

"Numerous magnetic gates are located at equal distances around the world. Are these gates possible entrances to the underworld? Are you aware of the five main words used in scripture to identify the chambers under the earth where fallen angels are bound and where the spirits of sinners are confined
after death?"
