“While we should never walk around feeling guilty for people’s affliction (after all, it’s the devil that is oppressing them, not us!) we must nonetheless accept the responsibility to grow up into the image of Christ, so that Jesus is able to express Himself through us in fullness.”

“Adam and Eve were not in the garden lighting candles, burning incense, studying theology, and developing religious organization charts. They weren’t created for religion. They walked with God together. God walked with them. They were created for fellowship. Jesus walked with us too. Why?  Jesus did not bring us religion. He brought relationship. He loved us. He walked with us.”

“The cross of Jesus Christ, not our circumstances, is the place we must look to see God’s love for us. If you want to see how much God has blessed you, you don’t look at your wallet or bank account! You look to the Word of God that declares that in Christ you have already been blessed “every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places.” (Eph. 1:3)  Every blessing heaven has to offer is already yours and constantly at your disposal.”

“In Christ, we see clearly that the Father is always willing to heal whoever needs healing whenever they come to Him. Indeed, “Behold, now is the favorable time; behold, now is the day of salvation.” (2Cor. 6:2) This is good news indeed! God is not the cause of prolonging sickness or delaying healing.  ”

“Just as the cross reveals true value God places upon our salvation, His suffering at the whipping post reveals how much it means to God to heal us from sickness, disease, and pain. Our healing is extremely costly and extremely valuable. If Jesus suffered stripes at the whipping post to pay for our physical healing, how could it even be possible for God to refuse the healing the Son purchased for us? “He who did not spare his own Son but gave him up for us all, how will he not also with him graciously give us all things?” (Rom. 8:32)”

“We are quite comfortable with Jesus being amazing in the Bible, but we must expect Jesus Christ to be no less amazing as He lives through us. Many people will try to give you logical reasons why you can’t walk like Jesus Christ, but it’s just empty deceit.  You’ll have to break with the traditions of your denomination, your family, and your culture to walk in the fullness of Jesus Christ, but it’s worth it!”

“How many times have you heard people end their prayer for healing with the phrase, “IF it be Thy will” as if God’s will regarding healing is still in question? In many ways, they are as spiritually confused as Philip, who asked Jesus "Lord, just show us the Father, and it is enough for us." (John 14:8). Even though he had already walked with Jesus throughout His entire ministry. Jesus replied “"Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?”

“When the church realizes that she is not without power against birth defects, she will arise out of her subdued apathy. It starts by believing the gospel above your experience and above your circumstances.”

“If you have a child born with birth defect, Jesus Christ has redeemed you to be a vessel of God on the earth.  God wants to flow through you in same way that He flowed through Jesus Christ. You are the light of the World. You are called to shine forth the light and glory of God in this dark world by healing birth defects by the power and authority of God’s Kingdom!”

“Watch what happens when we keep the words exactly as they are, and simply adjust the punctuation. “Jesus answered, "It was not that this man sinned, or his parents. (Period. Jesus begins a new sentence to launch into a call to action) But that the works of God might be displayed in him, we must work the works of Him who sent me while it is day; night is coming, when no one can work.” When you read the passage with this punctuation, Jesus doesn’t offer any explanation for the cause of the man’s blindness. He simply points out the errors in the disciple’s question, “Nobody sinned. Sin wasn’t the cause of the blindness.” Instead of offering an explanation for the man’s blindness, Jesus launches into a call to action! “If you want to see the works of God displayed in this man, we must work the works of God while we have an opportunity!”

“God is raising up a worldwide army that is rallying together for a simple reason— that the Lamb of God receive the reward for which He suffered at the whipping post in the lives of every person, especially those who were born with birth defects. An avalanche of miracles is beginning to rumble through the earth as children diagnosed with down syndrome, autism, cerebral palsy, and other birth defects are being healed before our eyes.”

“All children are a blessing from the Lord, including those born with birth defect. They are wonderful blessings! They enrich our lives and bring the blessing of their love and joy into this world.  However, the disease and defect that is afflicting them is not a blessing. It’s robbing them of huge portions of their strength, their abilities, their health, and their peace. Like Jesus, we want to bless the children. Seeing them cured and walking in perfect health is a blessing. God is our help in times of trouble. He’s not our trouble.”

“If for some reason we’re not seeing the healing Jesus paid for, that’s no reason for us to start evaluating ourselves.  Why start questioning ourselves based on the work of the enemy, when God wants us to know ourselves according to the work of Jesus Christ?”

“When Jesus calls His disciples, “the light of the World” Jesus is giving us His own identity as agents called to demonstrate the Kingdom of God, which includes healing birth defect!  God wants us not only to see the light of His glory but also to receive it, be filled with it, and pour it out. God wants to put Himself on display through our lives just as He did through Jesus. For this to happen, we must embrace God’s identity for us as His image bearers on the earth and become people who heal birth defect.”
