"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not one of all His benefits - Who redeems your life from the pit and corruption. Who beautifies, dignifies 'and' crowns you with loving-kindness and tender mercy." Psalm 103: 2-3 "SURELY, HE has borne our griefs, our sicknesses, weaknesses, and distresses and carried our sorrows and pains, yet we considered HIM stricken, smitten and afflicted by God. But HE was wounded FOR OUR transgressions, HE was bruised for our guilt and iniquities the chastisement, peace and well-being for us, was upon HIM, and with the stripes that wounded HIM, we are healed AND made whole." Isaiah 53:4-5 "My covenant will I NOT break OR profane, nor alter the thing that is gone out of My lips." Psalm 89:34 "Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego answered the king, O Nebuchadnezzar, it is not necessary for us to answer you on this point. If our God Whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, HE WILL deliver us out of your hand, O king. BUT IF NOT, let it be known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image which you have set up! " Daniel 3:16-18

Beloved, it is MY WILL to heal. To heal every area of your life, whether it be physical, emotional, spiritual, financial - to heal all!!! I have a covenant with you, and MY covenant is a covenant of redemption, therefore it is a 'healing covenant'. I have given MY love letter to you, and from Genesis to Revelation, I have expressed My willingness AND My desire to heal MY PEOPLE !!! I AM THE HEALER, not just over your physical body, but all areas of your life. This is MY promise to you, and I keep MY promises! My Beloved Children, My Son paid sin's penalty and made you right standing with Me but He also made available your healings. HE bore your sickness AND your pain! You believe that I forgive your sins, why is it so hard to believe that I can heal any area of your life? From the very instant that "I" saved you, My purpose has been to heal you. Healing the physical, mental, emotional, financial, whatever circumstances that you are experiencing.

Many of you are asking the question that many of MY saints have asked, "Why do good people suffer bad things?" To "refine and perfect". Beloved, many are walking in integrity, and although they are not perfect, they are walking in righteousness, but still I have allowed the affliction "FOR MY PROFIT." But there is one immutable truth, I AM a loving FATHER, and MY love is UNFAILING, it CANNOT FAIL ! Even in the midst of your affliction, MY LOVE IS UPON YOU and I AM THE HEALER! Beloved, I AM a heart person, and throughout your circumstances I AM changing and perfecting you but also I AM dealing with the little gray areas, the "little sins" that you do not think matters. BUT, MY children, it matters much to ME, for it is a heart issue. Believe ME through it all, "I" WILL deliver you - "I" WILL protect you, - "I" WILL preserve you AND "I" WILL bless you!

You have suffered, suffered physically, emotionally and spiritually, even many financially - living from paycheck to paycheck, and some even having little or no money coming in ... You have been persecuted and rejected, even by the brethren, from whom the sting bites the most and it wants to fester and poison you. Did My Son experience pain on the cross? Did My Son suffer? Did My Son experience rejection and persecution while walking this earth, in obedience to HIS Father? Then why do you question this, for your walk is in obedience to your Father ... Still you ask, will I heal you? Many of you say that I don't heal much any more OR oh well, maybe someone else, but not me. You ACCEPT that it is NOT MY WILL to heal you. Are YOU aggressively seeking MY promise of healing or for that matter , any other of MY promises? NO... many of you sit back and say "Oh well, what will be, will be" in submission to that end. Am I willling to heal? YES !!!

Many of MY "faith preachers and teachers" are essentially saying "if you do this and you do that, it will happen, it will work. They have it all tied up in a neat little package with a golden bow, a formula to attain it all! A "formula" and if you follow the formula, you will be healed. Therefore, if you have not received the healing in your situation, than it must be YOU! Either you are in sin OR you do not have enough faith, SO, you are not receiving your healing. What they are inferring is that it boils down to "you", that it all depends on "you". The core word is "you." Their faith message starts off very well, for they begin with ME and MY WORD and MY PROMISES and these instill faith on "your" part and then you will receive your answer. BUT ... what is developed in you, is that every word that you speak "must" be a positive word, that there is "no" room for any negative words and if you speak negative words that you are voiding your healing. Formulas, the world is full of formulas. There is only ONE formula, ONE answer and that is ME ... I AM THE ANSWER AND I 'CAUSE' THE ANSWER. Not you, ME... Many of the faith teachers say the answers are dependent on you, on your faith, on your words and woe be it unto you if you speak any negative words. No, the answer is not you, the answer ALWAYS depends on ME. Beloved, the bottom line of the 'faith teaching' is "the answer". The real bottom line, the focus, the answer - is ME! Tremendous difference, My Beloved!!! What is MY WORD all about? Is it about the wonderful saints who you read about who lived then? NO, it's all about ME, from cover to cover, it's always about ME !!! Also, if you carefully take note, you will see that most of my men and women of faith in the bible, spoke negative confessions, 'a statement of reality,' BUT in the midst of it all, their their answer was not on what 'they' spoke or did, but that they looked to ME !!! YES, you are in need of some kind of healing. Speak your condition, that is not a negative word as many faith teachers and preachers proclaim. Speak what it is and then look TO ME to heal you, not your words or lack of same. Begin seeking, RECEIVE what I have given you, RECEIVE MY PROMISES, through faith, RECEIVE MY HEALING. FOR I DO WISH TO HEAL...

Are you down, are you hurting, are you overwhelmed? Many of you feel condemned for feeling this way, Beloved, it is alright to feel this way. Shake off this condemnation, KNOWING, that YOUR GOD IS FAITHFUL. You see, Beloved, REAL FAITH IS FAITH WHERE YOU TRUST ME !!! In the midst of your circumstances, stop trying so hard to follow the formulas and FOLLOW ME... Have you surrendered your heart to ME? Do you believe that I AM sovereign? Are you pursuing ME? THEN you WILL walk with ME, "no matter what" - "healed OR not" - loving ME and serving ME, as spoken by MY three Hebrew children.

MY GLORIOUS BELOVED, there are many teachings and theologies out there "bombarding" MY people from all sides, BUT THE FACT REMAINS, there are things that will happen to you that will NOT fit into their nice little packaged theologies. Listen, My children, LOOK TO ME FOR THE ANSWERS and SUBMIT THE OUTCOMES TO ME - and when you submit the outcomes to ME, you ARE looking to ME for the answer. BE FREE from the condemnation that the "answer" lies with you, that you are in sin or speaking negative words or that you just plain don't have enough faith. BE FREE and submit the outcome to ME and LOOSE the enemies onslaught of condemnation against you. There is only ONE Who has the "responsibility" to heal you and that is the I AM !!! Stop looking to formulas, get rid of the formula mentality, instead SEEK ME! LET ME SHOW YOU THINGS THAT I WANT TO SHOW YOU IN THE MIDST OF YOUR SITUATION. If you continue to follow the formula mentality, and not see results, you will begin to have deaf ears for your God ... SEEK ME...

I have called you to be holy as I AM holy. I have purposed for you, MY own glory and your transformation, MY SON, being formed in you and your life. Not the formulas, not the materialist message being preached, but submission to ME, TO ME! Submit to ME, allowing ME to take care of areas in your circumstances that you are not even apparent of and 'in' your submission, believe in MY promises, BELIEVE THAT I NOT ONLY WANT TO HEAL YOU, BUT THAT I WILL HEAL YOU !!! I AM AN AWESOME GOD ! HAVE FAITH IN ME, not man's laid out formula. SEEK, SEEK TO RECEIVE AND TO POSSESS MY PROMISES, WHILE SUBMITTING YOUR LIFE AND THE OUTCOME TO ME AND MY SOVEREIGN PURPOSE. LOOK TO 'ME' FOR YOUR HEALING, THEN YOU WILL WALK VICTORIOUSLY. NO MATTER WHAT YOU ARE ENDURING, TRUST ME !!! AND AS JOB, AND AS MY THREE HEBREW CHILDREN, YOU HAVE SUBMITTED YOURSELF TO MY OUTCOME. Man's formulas did not work for Job and they won't work for you. As Job, you might not understand what is happening or why it is happening, but as Job did - TRUST ME. THAT'S FAITH ... BELOVED, one thing you can believe, I AM CONSTANT, I am the same yesterday, today and forever. I DO NOT CHANGE! If it was MY will to heal before, than it is MY will to heal now! My covenant includes healing and I WILL NOT violate MY covenant. It CANNOT be altered or broken, therefore it is "constant." BELOVED, it is just as easy for ME To heal as it is for ME to forgive! You can be as certain of healing as you can be certain of forgiveness. This is MY covenant with you and I CANNOT break it. LOOK TO ME, FOR I AM THE HEALER OF ALL !!!
