Winning the War for Healing

Jericho's walls were brought down, not by physical force, but by belief in God's instructions to them.

When bodies are living in the kingdom of darkness they become a breeding ground for all kinds of evil and darkness. When we are born again into the kingdom of God we transfer kingdoms from darkness to light, and our spirits become brand new. but it is our responsibility to kick the darkness out of our SOUL REALM and our PHYSICAL BODIES through the Holy Spirit. To do this, we must allow the Holy Spirit to first reveal it to us and then to give us the power to be cleansed of it. His light will show us what's going on if we will ask him.

That's what I did when I didn't receive healing in my body for nine years. I got desperate enough that I cried out to him in a week long liquid fast and asked Him to show me where I was missing it. He did. I saw the ugliness of the self hatred I had allowed to eat me up from the inside. I saw several other mindsets that were twisting the powerful, righteous, holy daughter of God that I was. In other words, my problem came down to identity and self-perception. But for you, it may be something different. I've seen many people bound by unforgiveness, hurt, victim mentality, hopelessness and fear. They can't receive their healing because those things are the predominant thought in their life. You can't reach for the crystal vase on the top shelf in your kitchen when your hands are full of garbage that you've picked up from the floor. You've got to throw away the garbage, get out the step stool (something that boosts you to the level you need to be), and reach for that precious crystal vase.

We must not allow darkness to continue to multiply in our thoughts, in our actions, or in our bodies. When we host things like stress in our bodies we are hosting darkness. That darkness can multiply in our bodies in the forms of illness and cancer and disease. Stress and fear and worry are proven factors in many many illnesses. Satan is the author of fear, and fear is the opposite of faith. When we are operating in fear and stress, we are operating in the kingdom of darkness, using his playbook and his rules. It's not a fair game! But when we turn to the kingdom of light and start playing by God's rules, using His playbook, satan might as well give up, because it's now HIS losing fight. When you play by his rules he is going to win the game every time. He is the author of lies and cannot tell the truth, so we must stop operating in his form of living. We must stop playing by the rules of darkness. We must start walking by faith.

The Bible says to capture every thought and make it obedient to Christ, and I believe that when we do that we are taking hostages—prisoners of war. Those evil, dark, tormenting thoughts do not belong in your territory. They are hostages that you must take and put to death. They are foreign entities, and if you internalize them and allow them to settle in your mind like an illegal foreigner, you will start to lose who you are. Your identity will start to be shaken. It is like when a Country allows floods of illegal immigrants in from other countries. The country starts to lose their own identity as a nation because they are hosting so many foreign entities. You can lose God's culture of healing in your life when you host too many foreign thoughts of illness and death.

You are creating a culture around your life, whether you know it or not. Is the culture you are allowing around your life (and propagating in others' lives) one of darkness or light? From a secular standpoint there is a profound difference in those who survive something like cancer and those who succumb to it, based solely on their will to live. The will to live is nothing more than a positive hope for the future. It is faith. People don't even realize they are operating in faith sometimes when they have that will to live—but basically they have just decided not to allow their life force to be given over and taken hostage by fear. How much more powerful is it to put your faith in the Life Giver? Have faith not only in yourself, but in the life that God intended for you to live, and in the God who makes all things possible.

We must take captive every foreign entity and spirit of darkness that would try to invade our territory, our bodies, and ask the Holy Spirit to reveal them to use when they try to cross the borders of our minds. Our bodies are the temples of the Holy Spirit, and the only thing that the enemy can truly do to stop us is to quietly and secretly invade our bodies so that we start to give up some of our territory. He does this in a sneaky way through our thoughts. We internalize those thoughts because we don't realize they are not our own thoughts—they are from Satan. I know that I used to think, "That's just me. I'm just dumb." But I had to realize those thoughts were NOT ME. They were coming from a demonic spirit sent on assignment to harass me and destroy me. When I realized that, I took a strong stand against every thought that disobeyed God's way of living. I started commanding the spirits of sickness, fear, self-hatred, and pain to leave me forever, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ! You see, satan doesn't show up with a pitchfork at your door, like my dad says. He sneaks in and we start to believe his lies, accepting them as part of who we are. Pretty soon, those lies of darkness start to manifest in the physical realm. Thoughts create beliefs, and beliefs create the words we speak, and words create our world.

Darkness multiplies darkness. But light multiplies light. if we allow the light of God's Word into our lives, it starts to literally destroy darkness, creating new pathways in the brain, sparking new beliefs in the heart. It starts to break apart the enemy's strongholds. Sending the Scriptures into your spirit is like sending ammunition into a war. You can't just make yourself believe God, but sending scripture into your spirit builds a stronghold against satan and shoots down his lies, one by one. It may take time to see the full results of this spiritual warfare, depending on the strength and height of the strongholds (beliefs) that satan has gotten you to build in your heart. But I promise you, if you will attack those lies with every force of the Lord and promise He gave you, it WILL cause victory to come!

Are Miracles Real?

In my new book "Healed Overnight," I recount the story of my journey to a miracle. Above, pictures showing before and after the morning I woke up with a brand new body...OVERNIGHT.

That's a question a lot of people are asking right now, perhaps due to the uncertainty and unrest in our nation and world, or maybe due to a personal need for divine intervention in an impossible situation, or maybe due to movies such as "Miracles From Heaven" hitting the box office.

Well, let me introduce you to a miracle: me! Every morning that I wake up and look in the mirror, I know miracles are real. I would love to tell you my story, as told in my new book, "Healed Overnight: My Encounter with the Supernatural."

If you're at all curious, I thought I would share the Introduction from my book to give you an idea of what happened. So here it is! Let me know what you think, and make sure you download my new book from Amazon or iBooks!

INTRODUCTION: HEALED OVERNIGHT

     All teenagers have a certain feeling of invincibility. I was no exception. But at age 18 I found myself in a downhill physical battle that lasted nine years.
     A growth in my abdomen had grown to the size of 13 pounds, the equivalent weight of 15 cans of soda or a large bowling ball. I looked six months pregnant. My spine had so much pressure on it that it was straight in the lower part and the vertebrae stuck out. My lower abdomen often ached, and I could not lay on my stomach. The muscles in my legs always hurt. I had digestion issues. Eating often made me feel nauseous. My organs were displaced by the growth. I suffered several infections. People who didn’t know me were constantly asking if I were pregnant.  I struggled with symptoms for so long, they became the lens through which I viewed myself.  I hated my body because of it.
     But the morning I woke up totally and completely healed, all that changed! I lost 13 pounds and 9 inches in my waist.  Gone.
     I remember themorning I woke up healed just like it were yesterday. The shock. The relief. The almost numb feeling of not being in any pain or discomfort. I sat up in bed and knew something felt strange. But my husband was the one who looked at me and said, “Go look in the mirror.”
     All the pain was over. All the heartache ceased in an instant. My body was healed overnight in a divine encounter with the supernatural realm. The healing was made possible, however, by months of lessons learned that I want to share with you.   

In this book you will learn:
­—Supernatural principles to receiving your healing
—Practical examples of how to apply these principles to your life
—Other people’s real stories of supernatural healings
—Healing scriptures and confessions for meditation
—Answers to big questions concerning miracles and healing

     There were many lessons I learned through my journey that I can’t wait to share with you in this book, woven into the incredible story of how I was healed overnight. I wanted this book to be small enough that you can keep it in your briefcase, purse, or car and pull it out again and again. I also encourage you to keep extra copies to hand out to others who may be facing illness.  
     The thing is, anyone can be healed using the supernatural principles I learned. That’s right, I said everyone, and that includes you. I don’t know your situation, and I don’t know what doctors, family members, friends, or co-workers have told you. I don’t know the name of your diagnosis, but I know a Name that trumps every other name. And I do know that for every problem you face in your life, there is an Answer. There is hope.
     Let me share my experience, my failures, my lessons, and my perspective on how I was healed overnight. I am also excited to tell you other real life stories from others who experienced miraculous healings confirmed by doctors.
     Miracles are real. The supernatural world is real. Scientific studies are confirming this! So I invite you into my story—and into the supernatural realm where nothing is impossible.  
     My story could be your story. Get ready for an encounter with miracles.
