The Hour of Healing NEWSFLASH
". . . a few days ago when the Lord spoke to me . . . He told me that at the beginning of 2006—when ORU classes are beginning again—I am to do a one-week TV telethon to raise scholarship funds for students to attend ORU. I immediately replied, 'Yes, Sir, I'll do it!' . . . The Lord told me to ask our friends and partners to plant a seed-faith gift of $100 or more to help students attend ORU . . ."

1 Kings 17
The Widow's Last Meal
"When we sow into God's work, He multiplies it back. But guess who gets the harvest? We do! Elijah didn't need the widow to feed him. The Lord had already commanded ravens to bring him bread and meat twice a day (I Kings 17:6). He went to the widow, not to take her last meal, but so God could multiply it and sustain her until the rains came. It was God's plan for the widow to give to Him first and trust Him for her needs to be met. This is how Seed-Faith works. And it will work for you and me also!"

2 Kings 4:42-44
The Miracle Power Of Seed
"One day god sent a man to Elisha to plant a seed of a sack of grain and 20 loaves of barley bread. . . But it illustrates the mighty miracle power of God. He can take a small seed of faith and provide a miracle in circumstances when there seems to be no way. . . The Word teaches that when you give-plant a seed unto God-He uses it not only for His glory, but He gives it back in the form of your need...multiplied."

2 Kings 7
A Victory Miracle
"Instead of feeling sorry for themselves, they took a stand of faith and put themselves in a position for a miracle! They got an idea to march into the enemy army's camp. But what kind of a chance did four lepers have against a well-trained army? They didn't have any chance in the natural. But when they stirred up their faith, they had more than a chance. They stepped over into the supernatural and received a victory miracle! As the lepers marched toward the camp, the bible says that the sound became so loud to the enemy soldiers that they thought it was a huge army, and they began to run for their lives.

Matthew 15:26
Healing Is Not A Luxury
"When Jesus told the woman from Canaan that healing was the children's bread (Matthew 15:26), He gave us a powerful truth. . . . So if healing is bread for God's children, that means it's not a luxury. It's a necessity."

Mark 4:14-15
Victory Is Coming
"I have often heard people say, 'When I plant my seed, something always goes wrong.' Have you experienced that? I certainly have. I can't tell you how many times I've planted a seed and the enemy came to try to steal my harvest (Mark 4:14, 15). . . . When it looks like the well has run dry, you and I have two choices: We can blame God and quit saying, 'It's over for me. I'm never going to sow seed to God again.' Or we can believe the Bible in spite of what's happening around us and continue to give—maybe even double up on our giving! . . . . If you're discouraged because you've planted seed and planted seed and you've not yet reaped the harvest, I'm telling you with all of my faith that, according to the Word of God, your harvest is on the way. Refuse to quit and give in to the pressure of the enemy because victory is coming!

Mark 16:18
Doctors Treat, But God Heals
Jesus said all believers 'will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover' (Mark 16:18 nkjv). That verse doesn't say anything about your needing a special calling. Every born again believer is to have a ministry of healing.

Mark 16:18
Somebody Needs Your Prayers
According to the Bible, every Christian has a healing ministry in a general sense. Mark 16:17, 18 says, These signs shall follow them that believe . . . they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

Luke 6:38
Why I Give
"God once faced a huge need. He had lost mankind to satan. And He came up with the plan to plant His only Son as a seed so that His creation would not perish, but they would be saved, healed, delivered and set free from the domination of the devil! . . . God gave for a reason—so that mankind could be restored to Him. Just as God gave out of His need for a desired result, He teaches us to plant seed against our needs."

Luke 18
A Promise You Can Bank On
"He asked Jesus, How can I get into the kingdom of heaven?' And Jesus answered, 'You lack one thing. I want you to give.' The young man responded, 'Wait a minute. I'm wealthy. Don't touch my money. That's mine!' He was afraid that if he became a giver like Jesus had told him, he'd lose it all. And he refused to become a seed-sower."

John 2:1-10
A Lifestyle Of Miracles
"When Jesus was ready to perform His first miracle, He asked the servants to give what they had-water. In other words, He asked them to sow out of their need and give what they had. In obedience, they poured the water into the stone jugs. When they poured out the liquid, it was wine-not just any old wine, but the richest and the best wine! This was a miracle of Seed-Faith!"

John 5
Rise Up On The Inside
"He asked the man, 'Do you want to be made well?' (v. 6). Instead of answering, the man made three excuses.
The man gave three excuses, but Jesus issued three challenges for him to be made whole. Challenges are different from excuses because they bring you to action.
The same is true for us. It's time for us to pick up the things the devil has tried to attach to our lives and say, 'You're not going to carry me anymore. I'm going to take responsibility for my life. You're not in charge. God's in charge.'
He had resigned himself to his situation, but now, for the first time in thirty-eight years he struggled to his feet. No doubt he wobbled. But then hope got under one arm and faith got under the other. And the man who had been lame and down in his attitude for thirty-eight years leaped to his feet and began to walk!
I believe God is giving the same challenge to each of us: "Rise, take up your bed and walk!" Don't let the devil hold you down. Change your attitude. Change your way of thinking and believing. As long as you remain passive, inactive, and consumed with excuses, you will never get up. It doesn't matter how long you've been down, with God's help you can get up. But it takes faith. It takes determination. Do your part. Put your hope and trust in God, and you can start walking toward a new life today!"

John 6:1-14
A Bigger Scene
"If Jesus could stretch the little boy's seed-lunch into miracle proportions to feed a crowd of 5,000, He can multiply our seeds of faith into a miracle supply."

John 10:10 — 1 John 3:8
You Belong To God!
"Sickness and disease are the work of the devil. The Bible makes this clear in John 10:10 NKJV when Jesus said, 'The thief [devil] does not come except to steal, and to kill, and to destroy. I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly.'
Jesus Came to earth so that He might destroy the devil's evil works that try to attach themselves to our lives. First John 3:8 NKJV says, The devil has sinned from the beginning. For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that He might destroy the works of the devil. . . .
So right now let's set our faith in agreement with God's Word and believe him for the miracle you need as I pray . . .
I come into agreement with you against sickness, against fear, against doubt, against whatever it is that is trying to attach itself to your life."

Acts 27, 28
Shake Off The Enemie's Attacks!
He didn't feel sorry for himself and wonder why so many trials were coming his way. Instead, he shook off that poisonous snake into the fire!
No matter what kind of struggle you may be dealing with, I believe the Lord is saying to you, 'Don't panic! Shake it off!' The Bible says that after Paul shook off that snake, everyone was watching to see what would happen to him. but the poison did him no harm! Whatever problem might be trying to cling to you today, shake it off, in Jesus' mighty Name!"
