Healing-at-a-distance
at Plane State Prison
"Two
weeks ago My wife and I were at the Plane State Jail teaching our
regular Bible study and at the end I left room
to share just a
little bit of The Elijah Challenge. I told them that we
would ask the Lord to confirm that Jesus was the only way to the
Father by healing the sick.
We
asked the women and there were many illnesses, bad knees, backs
etc. We ministered healing at a distance [as Jesus did to the centurion's
servant in Luke 7] and asked if there were any testimonies
and one woman came forward and said her knees had been healed.
After
that I asked if there were any other knee problems and one large
woman came forward and Mary laid hands on both knees at once and
both were
healed immediately.
Then a
lady asked what about eye sight and I told her that nothing was too
big or small for my Lord to do so
Mary
ministered
to that woman she had had cataract surgery years back. We didn’t
get the results of that woman’s sight for some other women
had called attention to this woman who had an infection in her eye
and
she was at the back of the room and she could not see Mary at the
front of the room. I laid hands on her eye and commanded her eye
to be restored
and it was immediately, she said she could see my wife fine now.
I asked
the women who healed these women and they replied "Jesus did" so
I said give praise to him and to examine themselves according
to the teaching I had been sharing with them and told them that these
bodies
are going to decay and die and that they needed to bear fruit
worthy
of repentance.
I asked
if there was anyone in the room who was not absolutely sure if they
were to die today whether the were
right
with God and there was one woman that was in tears and she
was ministered to."
Then at the June 30 meeting at the prison two weeks later, the following
took place...
"I had been teaching an ongoing Bible study on the book of John
at the Plane State Jail with the help of my wife Mary. After a very
short introduction of The Elijah Challenge last week I decided to
continue with further teaching. After presenting the introduction
to the Basic Elijah Challenge Training and answering several questions,
I asked the women to tell
of their infirmities. Then we would ask the Lord to confirm the
teaching that it is generally His will to heal the sick
and cast out demons [especially when the gospel is preached to the
lost].
We commanded
with authority at a distance [as Jesus did at the beginning of
Luke 7] for various infirmities, spirit of depression,
pain,
to
be healed
etc.
We asked if there were any testimonies and everyone was quiet at
first. Then one woman spoke up. She had had an abscessed tooth
which had given her constant pain and all pain was gone. Another
had had burning
feeling
on the
bottom of her feet and she was healed. Another had had a migraine
headache which vanished. Another didn’t have full movement
of her two thumbs and now had a full range of motion. Another had
had trouble breathing
due to lung problems, but she was relieved and could breath freely.
Another had felt a peace come over her while we were praying up
front. This sums up all those who testified of being healed at
a distance.
We asked
others who had infirmities to come forward. One woman
had been
in a bad car wreck and suffered pain from the past injuries of
a broken leg, foot, and hip. Mary laid hands on her and we commanded
with authority, and
all pain
was gone. Another woman came forward with degenerative
discs and other vertebra problems also in constant pain, and she
was healed.
There was another woman who two weeks earlier had said she
questioned her salvation. At the beginning of the class I was able
to fully witness
to her and she had expressed that she was battling with evil
and was confused. During the healing at a distance she proclaimed
that the battle
she had in her mind lifted and a peace came over her.
I asked
the
women who had healed them that evening, and they reported that
Jesus Christ had. I told them to be witnesses and to testify to
others
about what
Jesus had done. What the Lord did
tonight is all overwhelming. All I can say is Hallelujah---praise
to the King."
Kurt teaches...
"The
Church has lost the keys to reaching the lost souls and ignored
God's commands and instruction given in scripture.
They have diverted
to a man centered gospel that satisfies itching ears “That
God has a wonderful plan for their life “ lacking the power
of His Holy Law (Ten Commandments) and the power of the authority
given to his disciples that accompanies the Gospel Of Jesus Christ.
No wonder
so many false converts are created when what is being preached
is a deceiving love story. Truly a person could never turn
to God
in repentance and faith toward Jesus Christ unless the spirit of
God has convinced them of their eternal consequence of Sin. They
come into the Church and are promised the fruit of the Spirit:
Galatians
5:22 But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience,
kindness, goodness, faithfulness,
They
are told they have been saved and they
fall right into the program of working and serving in the Church
including all the lavish amenities of the church country club.
Then
they see they are still going through the same problems they
always had they look to each other and compare themselves by themselves
instead of The Bible. They make excuses for their problems because
they have been told that it is just this flesh body they live
in
and it will be all better later when Jesus comes.
What
a terrible deception (powerless gospel) the Devil has sold to the
Church.
They use every method but what is given in the Bible which
has the power
to save, change, and transform those whom He has chosen before
the creation, to be Holy as he is Holy, to hate the things
He hates, to love the things He loves, and live to please The Father
as Jesus
did.
I praise
God that He has a wonderful plan for our lives but it is not the
plan that the modern church is selling. When
I look
at the Church---and when I say Church I am speaking of the
typical American liberal church---there is a whole group that is
in need
of
being captured by the true Gospel.
But
this is a harder task than reaching people who have never heard
about Jesus. They
have been
ruined by so much false teachings and traditions that they
have
become calloused to the truth---they love the world
and have put their
tent stakes in this world. But God is almighty and powerful
and I pray that he will raise up more mighty workers to plant,
water,
and
harvest, to wake up the sleeping Church to repent and turn
to Him."
