Grace be to you and peace from God, our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ.
I bring you encouragement in knowing that there is a God who is able to do just what His word says. Do you need healing? He hath already provided it. Isaiah 53:5 declares that Jesus “was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities”. Let us define the word bruise. It means to become injured by means of a blow and without breaking the skin; to offend or hurt as with an insult; to damage; and a discolored area caused by bleeding beneath the skin. Yes, he took the cruel punishment for us so that we will experience healing in every area of our lives because God loves us.
Do we have any idea of the blows that were put upon his back from the whip lashes that symbolized healing for every disease there is so that you and I today shall be healed? Psalm 107:20 states “He sent his word, and healed them (you and I), and delivered them from their destructions”. There is no place in your life that God can't heal so let's bring our mind in line with the word of God which says, “Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust in the Lord forever.” Isaiah 26:3-4
He has already promised it to you. Let not your mind rob you of what's already yours. Exodus 15:26 declares that God is who he says he is – “the Lord that healeth thee”.
Mind you, there are instructions to follow. You must believe the gospel of Jesus Christ, ask him to heal you, and receive his healing by faith. (Heb. 11:6; Matt. 21:22) Most of all, if you are not saved, give your heart to Jesus. Let him be your savior. Become born again. God wants the whole of you (John 3:3) It is God's will that you repent and turn to him. “And do works meet for repentance.” (Acts 26:20)
God loves you and wants his healing to be alive within your life. (John 3:16)

Earth and the Word of God
Message 18In relation to the EARTH message I sent earlier I would like to add more to it. Genesis 1:10 God called the "dry land" EARTH. Dry is from the Hebrew word [yabesh']which means to be ashamed, confused; to dry up or wither as herbage. And if the natural earth does not get rain, the herbage or vegetation will dry up; the land will crack. If we don't drink water, we will thirst or dehydrate. As we need physical water, we need the spiritual water, or the "water of life" which is the WORD OF GOD! Why did God call the EARTH "dry"? Because He is referring to people that do not have or are not drinking from the rivers of the water of Life! They have been and are being given "poison" water from the doctrines of men and not CHRIST! That's why Jesus said in St.John 7:38 "He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water!" The enemy has lied to the people of God and blinded them with traditional order, "philosophy, and vain deceit, after the traditions of men, after the rudiment of the world, and not after CHRIST!" (Colossians 2:8). Because of this, people have been denied their rights of having the fulness of God in them now! You don't have to die to get it; you must live to have His fulness! To get an inheritance, you must be alive to receive and enjoy it!!! Our testator has died and rose, and all the Father has for us is ours now!! The shame and confusion the "dry land" brings is being naked because you have been stripped of your robe of righteousness you are entitled to NOW! NOT WHEN YOU GET UP YONDER!! Isaiah 61:10 I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he hath CLOTHED ME with the GARMENTS of salvation, he hath COVERED ME with the ROBE OF RIGHTEOUSNESS! GLORY TO GOD!!! In Revelation chapter 19 John is hearing a "great voice of much people in heaven" (elevated places in the spirit) praising God and saying, vs 8, "And to her (the church)was granted that she should be arrayed (clothed or covered) in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is THE RIGHTEOUSNESS OF SAINTS." WE are the righteousness of God! And are CLOTHED OR COVERED with HIS RIGHTEOUSNESS! 2 Corinthians 5:21 "For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that WE might be made the RIGHTEOUSNESS of God in him." That's why Revelation 3:18 states, "I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white RAIMENT (clothing, covering), that thou MAYEST BE CLOTHED, and that the SHAME of thy NAKEDNESS do not appear; and anoint thine eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see"!! Which means in greek, (blep'o) [look at; take heed; beware of or have spiritual insight to discern Jesus Christ in His fulness]! Now you can better understand what God meant in Genesis 1:9 when He said "let the waters (people) UNDER the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the "dry land" appear, and it was so." This is speaking of those that have not made it INTO THE HEAVENS yet. They are still lower than or beneath the place that God has already prepared for them to be through Jesus Christ! Anyone that does not believe that they can have the fulness of God, the total of the Kingdom of God in them now (dominion; authority; health; peace; joy; victory; righteousness; eternal life; much more), are in a DRY PLACE (UNDER HEAVEN) and you're sipping on "poison water" which will bring about a slow death. When Jesus HAS COME that we might have ETERNAL LIFE, NOW!!! But God HATH saved us, and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which WAS given us in Christ Jesus before the world began. But IS NOW made manifest by the APPEARING of our Saviour Jesus Christ, who HATH ABOLISHED death, and HATH brought LIFE and IMMORTALITY to LIGHT through the GOSPEL!!! GREAT GOD FROM ZION!!! HALLELUJAH!!! I'm going to send an explanation of "heaven" later. GOD BLESS YOU!

We are Nothing without God
Greetings people of God, in the name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!
When we look at the earth, it is the third planet from the sun and the planet on which there is life. It is also ground, soil, or dirt. In the Hebrew and Greek, earth is defined as ground, land, nations, country, a region including the occupants. We all know that there is a physical or natural earth we live in and walk around on. But your body is also referred to as earth. Genesis 1:24 God said, "Let the earth bring forth the living creature after his kind, . . and it was so." This living creature was man. (Ezekiel 1:5) "Out of the midst thereof came the likeness of four iving creatures. And this was their appearance; they had the likeness of a man. They had the hands of a man and as for the likeness of their faces, they four had the face of a man, a lion, an ox, and an eagle (vss 5-10).
These are all in reference to the four areas out of which man functions - heart(face as a man); soul(emotions or lion), mind (eagle), and strength or body(ox). These are the areas Jesus said in Mark 12:30 that we are to love God with. When the earth brought forth, it brought forth the black man (male & female); the white man (male & female); the Asian [male & female]. This covers the three kinds of dirt we know of: black, white, and red. When God said "Let the earth bring forth the living creature," it brought forth these different races of people in male and female form.
All the different races of people we see did not come from one man and one woman called Adam and Eve. If Adam and Eve were white, how did the blacks and Asians get here? If they were black, how did the whites and Asians get here? Or if they were Asian, how did the blacks and whites get here? It was humanly impossible for two blacks to produce a caucasian child and visa versa for the whites and asians. Every seed reproduces after its own kind. Adam was a group of people - not just "one man" - which consisted of male and female. (Genesis 5:1-2)
This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him; male and female created he THEM; and blessed them, and called THEIR name ADAM, in the day when THEY were created. Adam was a people out of a people that God made in his image and after his likeness and gave them (male and female) his divine authority and power!! When the scripture speaks of earth, many times it is in reference to people, and the state or condition they are in. (1Corinthians 15:47) The first man is of the earth, earthy. This is from the greek word choikos, meaning he was of the dirt, dust, rubbish, a chasm or prison, or vacancy; to gape or yawn which is in reference to "sleep" [a natural state of rest]. Spiritually it is a state of UNAWARENESS, blindness, ignorance to the things of God.
That's why in Genesis 1:2 the earth "was without form and void [empty] and darkness [misery, destruction, death, sorrow, ignorance, wickedness] was upon the FACE of the deep (an abyss, a place or state of chaos!). All this was going on in people who were without the mind, the knowledge, or the very life of God! We are nothing without God! It is in Him we live, move and have our being! This is why the Lord God had to form man from the dust (the state of chaos he was in; ignorance, wickedness, death misery) and breathe into man the breath of life in order for him to become a living soul! (Genesis 2:7). The Lord God breathed the very mind, the blood, the life of God into them (male and female! I'll share more later. Keep your focus on God!
