People often ask "Does God heal today?"

Of course I believe He does!

The question most have is this: "How does God heal, when He decides to heal us?" This is really a great question.

This question is perhaps the oldest question in the history of mankind. Even in the ancient book of JOB - we see a famous story of one great man's struggle to trust the Lord during a long period of sickness and loss.

People say "Job lost everything!"

Well, no he didn't. He didn't lose his faith in God.

And thankfully for Job, he didn't lose his wife, or his life.

But at times, his sickness was so severe, that he wished he would have died. Have you ever been so depressed about your struggles, that you hoped for a final death just to put an and to suffering?

Needless suffering it would seem?

And then to add insult to injury - Job had to put up with the cruel, judgmental comments from his best "friends" who had forgotten what it was like to be in a hard time of life.

This episode isn't just about Job, its really about Jesus and how he heals, and James who gives us a great "recipe" for instant healing.

It would seem so. But ah, there is another aspect of God's ways that sometimes comes into play here.

We all want this life to be great.

But think about it. Is THIS PRESENT LIFE all there is? if so, we could understand the panic and striving to get over all pain suffering and sickness.

Job asked God "why" many times.

But soon, Job began to realize that it isn't THIS LIFE that is really all that important... but the NEXT LIFE - ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN!

The latest film called "Cessationist" is really another amping up of the current theological debate going on between Christians, or those who may not even be Christians but have decided to join the fight against those have refused to cease the use of their spiritual gifts as Christians.

Perhaps you haven't been following this whole conflict, but you still want to hear more!

This episode is for you!

In this podcast I share both the Scriptural basis for which Cessationist's make their arguments and my rebuttal as well as personal experiences with the Holy Spirit.

I actually pray in toungues on a weekly basis. But usually I do not sense the HS leading me to do so in public ministry. I have strongly gifts in other areas.

Thanks again for listening!

No matter what church, Christian group or organization - every leadership board makes mistakes here and there.

But we want to make sure any leadership board we serve on or serve under does things from a Biblical point of view.

Recently the trials and tribulations at the IHOP (International House of Prayer) Ministry in Kansas City, Kansas have exploded into the mainstream media.

Founder and former lead pastor Mike Bickle faces numerous charges after admitting to improper relationships with several "Jane Does" Some of the claims included lies, manipulation and other kinds of covering up. The board of Directors fired him this past Spring, and then began receiving notices of lawsuits totaling multiple millions of dollars.

The church board also is dealing with scandalous reports of denial and failure to acknowledge the incidents with the Jane Does that came forward.

So what exactly went wrong with the ministry board at IHOP?

Why dod they look the other way for decades? Why did they have such a hard time keeping Mike Bickle accountable?

Why did Mike Bickle continue to mistreat women under him at IHOP?

These are the questions we will look at together in this week's podcast!

Jeff
