A love song for heaven

My best friend, Denise, passed away the week I was traveling and I never got to say goodbye to her.  I was heartbroken that she left so soon despite the Lord having touched her and held her pain back from cancer.  But she got her wish.  She passed her 62nd birthday.  On the long 5 hour drive home, I was teary, but also more determined than ever before to lay hands on every cancer patient that I meet and pray for them.  For the last two hours of the drive, I couldn’t stop humming the song, Ain’t No Mountain High Enough by Diana Ross.  Ever since a young age, I loved this song for its high crescendo and lyrics.  Unlike the song, I Will Follow Him by Little  Peggy March which also describes a love where  “There isn’t an ocean too deep, A mountain so high it can keep me away”, but totally a song just for my husband, I believe Diana Ross’ song was written for God and me.  When I was young, I always wondered if there is a love that

Ain’t no mountain high enough
Ain’t no valley low enough
Ain’t no river wide enough
To keep me from you.

That day as I drove back, I understood finally.  I am coming after you, God.  I’m not going to stop until I see you face to face and get everything I could from you, to save these poor suffering fellow souls down here on earth. It’s unnecessarily that we are sick.  It’s unnecessary that we die of cancer.  It’s unnecessary that we spend eternity elsewhere other than heaven.  I am coming after you to get all the gifts, all the strength and all the stamina I could to bring as many as I could to you.  It hurts.  It really hurts, to see my friends all dying off like flies one by one afflicted with cancer, 6 within the last 6 months.

I read from a book that a musician once had a heavenly experience and he heard one of his songs being sung in heaven.  He asked why his song was up there and the answer was that heaven gave it to him in the first place.  And while this song might be a secular love song, the love described between Jesus and his bride (the church, the followers, believers) is a two way street and is exactly how I feel.  I would not be surprised to hear this song when I get to heaven.

So I encourage everyone to find your own love song between you and God and sing it often, make it your own.  Don’t worry if the artist has been in drugs, has a doubtful lifestyle and fall badly.  Look at the Old Testament and see how even King David, King Solomon, Gideon fell, not to mention Samson.  But in between, their one time faith and obedience were noteworthy.  And none of us is a fallen case until the last breath.  God is very patient.  He waits patiently for everyone to ask for his forgiveness and rejoin him, even a murderer on death row.

[Book Review] The Veil by Blake K. Healy

This book was recommended by Praying Medic and Bill and Beni Johnson at the Bethel Church, Redding.  I wanted to explore the spirit realm and how does one deal with demonic forces but this book focused on what Healy could see since he was a little kid, that everyone of us has an angel unless we are afflicted by a bad spirit when we are in agreement with the lies it spews.  Only a chapter or two is a bit more graphic but the rest of the book is extremely uplifting.  It is reassuring to know that prophesies given to us has to relate back to our relationship with God and relationship to his people or it is not from God.  In one experience at a conference, the author could feel the immense love that Jesus has for everyone of us that it could even burst him.  While I started off this book with the hope of learning how to see in the spiritual realm, at the end of the book, I don’t need to anymore.  All I care is that God loves us so intensely that nothing matters.  Demons are not that influential and not worth our time.  Just call out the name of Jesus and work on what is most important, “Love our neighbor.”  This is a must read book for those curious about the types of angels there are and what they do, but more, to understand how Jesus, by his sacrifice, has linked us back to our Heavenly Father already and you have access to him more so than you realize.  You’ll get a lot closer to God even more after reading this book.

[Book Review] Street Healer’s Guide: Revised Edition by Luke T. Jones

Luke T. Jones studied at the Bethel School of Supernatural Discipleship and has a facebook page where he posts word of knowledge whereby upon reading the condition that you are in i.e. pain in lower back, lymph nodes swelling, cataract and etc., your faith alone will spur you to believe that you are going to be healed that moment and it works.  I have read his page and got rid of swelling and pain underarm and every since then, every time I prayed on it again, it would disappear.

This book is available in Kindle version and Jones tells us how he does it.  Fascinating read.  You get to understand the etiquette of street healing, how to introduce yourself and how you always want the person to experience the love of Jesus.

Edit: May 27, 2014: Luke T. Jones has deactivated his facebook page for the moment while he focuses on writing his screenplay.  But he promises to be back.  So stay tuned to his Twitter account.

[Book Review] Divine Healing Made Simple by Praying Medic

Praying Medic is an EMT who transports patients in ambulances in the Pacific Northwest and he has been anointed by God to heal people when he prays.  He wrote this book to share his journey along with other testimonies from other healers he met over this time as his website popularity grew.  An absolutely amazing book!!

“Divine Healing Made Simple: Simplifying the supernatural to make healing and miracles a part of your everyday life” starts with how God showed him through visions and dreams how to pray for patients.  Because of his medical knowledge, God pinpointed on the areas to pray for. Absolutely mind-boggling to know that God is so precise!! I love his testimony of how his first 6 months, no one got healed but once he changed the way he prayed, the success rate increases and now around 80% of those he prays for gets healed.

His books deals with faith, why God heals some and why not others, format of praying and the most exciting of all chapters, spiritual warfare.  Demons aka spirits are real in some diseases/ailments. He also fleshed out the dreams that God gave him and interpreted them and I could not get over the last dream he has of the future of divine healing.  It’s going to go mainstream one day!  Go buy this book!  Everyone needs to know there is another option other than man-made medicine!!!

[Book Review] The Longest Bridge Across Water by Jeremy Mangerchine

This book was recommended by Praying Medic on his Twitter account when the Kindle version was $0.99.  I started reading it yesterday and couldn’t stop.  I am at a point where I could hear the Holy Spirit in me but I keep looking for more, for even closer contact with God and Jesus and for the last few weeks have been wondering how far I could go.  Then came this revealing book of how God intensely pursues those of us who are willing and obedient to Him, to let Him do the driving and the subsequent blessings He showers on us.  It’s not just your normal blessing of finances and employment.  It includes the gift of healing, prophesy, visions, peeks of God’s feelings and perspectives, and His immense love for everyone of us open to Him. As I read, I looked up each bible verse and the context especially from Paul’s epistles and for the first time, I understand how constrained Paul was in his replies to the churches.  If only he didn’t have to deal with the spiritual immaturity and the church matters, he could have expounded so much more on what God wanted to bestow on us – the mystery of the Kingdom of God.  Oh how I wished the bible was longer.  But on the other hand, after reading this book, I now know that all we need to do is ask the Holy Spirit, Jesus and God to show us.

This book comes at a most opportune time.  If you are searching how faith works, Jeremy wrote an explosive chapter on it.  I’m buying a hardcopy for my new born-again Christian son.  I want him to bypass all the sin and brokenness talk and go straight to the source – God – who lives in us now.

I suggest an alternative online store if you are buying the hardbacks.  Alibris sends out their books almost immediately and has way faster service than the other big online store and at times, Alibris sends $1 to $3 coupons for you to redeem.  I’m switching.  Or you could buy directly from the author.

Incredible testimonies of healing

This is such a powerful testimony of Nate posted in the Praying Medic website.  He was 25 when he was given 6 months to live from terminal cancer.  I would encourage everyone to watch this video whether you have arthritis, back pain, MS or any ailments.

This is how I feel when I could jog 2 rounds at marsh for an hour without coughing or losing breath.  I want to scream and scream to anyone who wants to hear how God could heal. Watch this lady healed of Myalgic Encephalomyelitis just through love.
