If you are not in control of your life, chances are that other forces are.  Your words and actions are duly noted in the spiritual realm as it identifies your position and authority in the spiritual realm.  You are being tested all the time!

1 Peter 5:8
Be well balanced (temperate, sober of mind), be vigilant and cautious at all times; for that enemy of yours, the devil, roams around like a lion roaring [in fierce hunger], seeking someone to seize upon and devour.

Look carefully at the meaning of the words in the scripture above:

1. You have an enemy, the Devil (a spirit) who roams around. The spiritual dimension consists of good and bad spirits. The bad ones are looking around to find a prey to devour.
2. He is seeking (testing you) to see IF he CAN devour you.  This means he cannot devour anyone, he has to SEEK for those who he can overcome (by fear).
3. He is walking around like a lion, roaring (to scare you).  Fear is the method used to test you by means of negative conversations, threats, calamities and other negative situations. He is watching your reaction and words (your spiritual knowledge).
4. He isn’t a lion, but rather a mouse with a loudspeaker.  If you get scared and don’t talk authority and faith, he will become your lion.
5. You allow him to become a devouring lion, or you can make him run away like a scared mouse.

Luke 10:19
Behold! I have given you authority and power to trample upon serpents and scorpions, and [physical and mental strength and ability] over all the power that the enemy [possesses]; and nothing shall in any way harm you.

Every spiritually empowered person knows this scripture by heart! When others are negative, this scripture should be your talk.

Sow thoughts and words of trust and dependence on God and you will reap supernatural provision and outcomes.  In the spiritual realm, your mind is the battlefield for control.  You can memorize Psalm 91 and use it as a faith affirmation whenever you face opposition.  Verse 1 of Psalm 91 contains the key to make this supernatural spiritual help available to you in the midst of negative circumstances.

The prerequisite for the Psalm 91 type of provision is to dwell in the presence of God and abide in the shadow of the Almighty.  This means that we should be walking in the Spirit.  How do we do that?  Psalm 1 gives the answer; He that meditates on the Word of God day and night, will be prosperous in all his ways.

The presence of God is activated in a special way inside of you, wherever you are, because your thoughts are constantly on His Word.

They who control your mind can do in your life as they will, using you to do their will in the earthly realm, expanding their sphere of control.  They will also control your destiny and your circumstances.  If you fear, it is a sure sign of a lack of faith and you may become an easy prey.

Look at this well-known scripture:

Proverbs 18:20-21
A man’s [moral] self shall be filled with the fruit of his mouth; and with the consequence of his words he must be satisfied [whether good or evil].
Death and life are in the power of the tongue and they who indulge in it shall eat the fruit of it [for death or life].

Don’t be surprised if the seed you sow into the spiritual realm are tested.  Once you start to visualize, confess positive thoughts and spiritual truths, expect opposition to come your way.  It is training grounds for the true believer to discover his authority and power!

Opposition to your “creative seed” will come by means of discouraging facts and reports that might oppose your idea, positive expectation and faith.  A few negative reports will arrive to try to discourage you from further “watering” your seed.  It may seem that since you have started to talk about a new idea, or might have asked for something in prayer, the situation is just deteriorating.  I have seen it many times.  Your innermost believes are being tested.  The quality of your faith determines the outcome in the face of opposition.

We can learn from this story in the Bible, a situation of life and death.  Note how Jesus controlled a desperate situation without allowing fear or negative words to contaminate the atmosphere for a miracle:

We read in Mark 5:22-42 the story of Jairus who asked Jesus to come and heal his little daughter, Talita. In this story Jesus went with this father, pushing through the crowds.

Jairus, had a clear and detailed vision.  He told Jesus exactly what he believed should be done and what the positive outcome would be.  His expectant faith was probably based on previous accounts of healing he surely have heard about – we have a Book full of these accounts from which we can learn and build our faith.

As they went along, a woman with a 12-year old ailment touched Jesus’ garment. The negative situation for Jairus was escalating…  in spite of the urgency of Jairus’ desperate situation, Jesus stopped to ask who has touched Him, and then he entered into a conversation with the woman.  What was Jairus thinking by now? Maybe he started thinking like many of us would, If these hold-ups keep on happening, it might soon be too late to save my daughter…

Isn’t it amazing that there is no indication of haste, fear or doubt in Jesus’ behavior?

Jesus’ words and actions demonstrate the virtue of true faith, the outcome (for the daughter of Jairus) in his mind (words and vision), was already achieved in the spiritual realm and there is no need for anxiety or haste. It seems that whenever Jesus was on His way to someone who was sick and even dying, He never seemed to be in a hurry (read the story of Lazarus).  If ever someone demonstrated the concept of “believing that you have already received what you have asked for”, it was Jesus!

Then came the bad news as people from Jairus’ household told him not to bother, his daughter has already died.

This seems like the final report!  What Jairus probably feared most, became a reality and a fact:  “It’s too late, she is already dead”. And of course, the encouragement to give up: “Don’t bother the Teacher any further.” Give up Jairus, give up!

What did Jesus do when the final message of her death arrived?  He ignores it!

Overhearing but ignoring what they said, Jesus said to the ruler of the synagogue, Do not be seized with alarm and struck with fear; only keep on believing.

If you live by faith, people may criticize your faith-talk and may even tell you to “rather except the facts than to live in denial”.  “The sooner you accept the facts, the quicker you will get over it.”  They will send you nice comforting messages like – “God gives you the strength to accept the things you cannot change.”

Unfortunately, acceptance of physical facts immediately limits us to the level natural laws. Accepting this as the ultimate truth will never produce a single miracle. So, what do you do when people talk to you in this way?

YOU IGNORE THEM!

Jesus ignored the messengers and immediately prevented Jairus to say anything negative.  The natural fact is: she is already dead, but Jesus just held on to the original spiritual vision that Jairus brought to Him saying, “Come and lay Your hands on her, so that she may be healed and live.”

Fear could have killed the seed (the original thought and vision).  Immediately when hearing the negative report, and before Jairus could say anything negative, Jesus instructed Jairus: “DO NOT FEAR, KEEP ON BELIEVING”.

Of course, I realize that we don’t walk on water yet (last time I checked I got wet), and not all of us have raised the dead yet, but many situations in life can be changed around miraculously by applying these truths.  We all have to start practicing spiritual authority on a level where we can challenge our own level of faith.  Once you see a supernatural outcome, your faith will be strengthened to apply it to even greater challenges in future.

Knowing how people could influence faith by confessing negative thoughts, Jesus only allowed those instructed in the principles of faith, to accompany Him.  During an ordeal, substantiate yourself as much as possible from sources and people that are uniformed in the principles of faith.

Notice how Jesus never accepted or confessed the fact that the girl was dead, He knew that there is a higher plane of authority, much higher than the physical plane.  Even in the sight of physical death, He kept on confessing the spiritual truth, the final outcome of the original thought and vision based on faith in God.
Jesus didn’t see the dead child in His mind, He saw a living, sleeping child that will awake and play again, fully alive!

Important points

• Never talk about your fears or worries to anyone.  Make your needs known to God – in faith, not wavering, but with a clear concept and vision of what you require. Then be expectant!
• When you need support, connect to spiritual-minded people that understand the principles of faith and positive thought.  Never talk to people who will be happy to sympathize and build your problem into a mountain.  Talk to those who will encourage, agree and build your faith in God’s supernatural provision.
• Do not discuss in depth the details of negative facts, but always demonstrates your faith by confessing the Biblical and spiritual truths that overrules the physical fact.
• Remember that facts reside in the natural, spiritual truths are from a higher plane of authority. Speak spiritual truths, not scientific facts.
• What you believe with your heart (mind) is what will come from your mouth.  Discipline your speech, control the tongue.
• Always make sure that you keep the original vision and thought clearly in your mind.   Do not take “no” for an answer, especially when the Bible say “yes”.  Make sure you have spiritual laws (get scriptural support from the Bible) working with your vision.
• Again: believe the spiritual truths not the visible facts and reports.

(Scriptural references from The Amplified Bible)

Modern day scientists and intellectuals doubt many of the stories in the Bible about Jesus and the miracles, signs and wonders that He performed. There is however a difference between educated intellect and spiritual intellect, and many times it is our well-developed worldly intellect and understanding of physics that prevents us from performing supernatural acts.

We read about an amazing miracle in the Bible that contains a very important key to miracle-working faith that can manifest supernatural outcomes in the natural. Not only was Jesus able to perform this specific supernatural act, but also one of His disciples, and this an important key for us normal mortals to also know how to live a supernatural, spiritual life. The spiritual dimension is not limited by natural laws as Jesus has so beautifully demonstrated during His life on earth. We may ask ourselves why did God manifest in the lower form of flesh for a while to show us this kind of power? As we closely study Bible Scripture, we can clearly come to the conclusion that it was to show us the way into a higher life of spiritual authority and victory, even over natural forces:

Mat 14:24-31
…but the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. During the fourth watch of the night Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake.

When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.

But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
“Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
“Come,” he said.

Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus.

We all know that Peter started to sink after walking a certain distance on the water, but note what Jesus said to Peter in verse 31:

You of little faith, why did you doubt?

It is clear from these words that it was Peter’s faith that enabled him to walk on water, and iut was his own doubt and fear that prevented him to walk on water all the way!

What we think with our rational minds, and accept as the highest law at work in our believe system, can limit us to what we can, or can’t do. We have unlimited capabilities as demonstrated by Jesus and these words. Our minds, lack of faith and understanding of spiritual concepts, are the limitations we continuously impose on ourselves. The only barrier standing between us and supernatural ability is our lack of spiritual understanding.

But can we really have this kind of power? More than two thousand years ago, Peter had the momentary faith to get out of the boat and walk on water. A logical deduction from this is that it must then be possible for man to walk on water…. think about it! Shouldn’t we have discovered the secret after all these years?

What prevents us from walking on water or effecting other supernatural miracles? Nothing, really, according to Jesus!

You might argue that this miracle was only possible because Jesus was present and He, in His divine power commanded Peter to walk on the water. So, it was by the authority that Jesus had, that Peter walked on water… but these words of Jesus “..why did you doubt?” clearly shows that Peter actually walked on water by his own spark of faith.

Jesus also commanded us, His followers, to go and do supernatural miracles, signs and wonders:

Mark 16:17,20
And these attesting signs will accompany those who believe: in My name they will drive out demons; they will speak in new languages;They will pick up serpents; and [even] if they drink anything deadly, it will not hurt them; they will lay their hands on the sick, and they will get well.

And they went out and preached everywhere, while the Lord kept working with them and confirming the message by the attesting signs and miracles that closely accompanied [it]. Amen (so be it).

The Bible is full of examples of miracles performed by ordinary people. The following scripture makes it quite clear that we are actually empowered and commanded to demonstrate God’s kingdom power by means of supernatural signs, miracles and wonders.

John 14:12
I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

Our preconditioned, objective minds are causing doubt and unbelief. We are so scientifically educated that our rational minds overrule spiritual truths. From childhood, natural knowledge and experiences convinced us that anything heavier than water will undoubtedly sink. Subsequently, what science teaches us, we are accepting as the highest law at work on earth.

However, what the Spirit of God teaches us originates from a higher realm of authority. Spiritual power originates from the same realm from where thought and words have created the universe. It is even a higher spiritual law at work than mere mental science or the Law of Attraction.

Jesus demonstrated this kind of powerful living all the time and the Bible kept record of it as an example for our spiritual development.

What do you believe – natural fact or spiritual truth?

Where do you limit yourself? Do you limit yourself on the level of the natural, or are you willing to leap out of the boat into the supernatural dimension of authority and power?

At first, Peter didn’t reason about the water and scientific facts, but acted on a higher authority, this “blind” faith enabled him to actually walk on the water for a while. Then a second thought, on the level of physics started to contradict his act of faith. As soon as he started lowering his level of thought to consider the natural environment and the lower laws of physics, accepting this as the controlling level of authority, he sank. He became subject to a lower level of authority limited by physical laws.

Now you know why there are educated intellectuals who will forever doubt and argue the possibility of miracles and they will never see or believe in miracles. It just goes beyond their rational understanding. They are specialists within the lower physical plane of existence. The lower level cannot explain or understand the higher spiritual level of the supernatural. Many people’s level of spiritual power is based on the knowledge from the lower physical level of science, which has become their controlling law. For many people, entering into the higher level of spiritual power is very difficult, as it requires that the rational mind must accept concepts that are in contradiction to the laws of physics that can be explained by logic and mathematical equations.

There are many examples of this battle inside our minds:

• The physical proven fact is: Man can’t walk on water.
  The spiritually proven truth is: Man can walk on water.

• The medically proven fact and the prognosis might be that someone is terminally sick, and there is no medical cure for the specific illness.
  The spiritual truth is: “By His stripes we were healed” (1 Peter 2:24), and Jesus and His disciples demonstrated this power by healing the blind, those with leprosy and every other ”incurable” sickness, they even Many of us have seen and experienced these miracles in our lifetime.

• The natural situation is that there might be a recession and a lack of jobs and finances, or you have lost your source of income.
  The Biblical spiritual truth is that you can become rich in the midst of famine and create opportunities from a supernatural dimension. Jesus demonstrated this by withdrawing money from the mouth of a fish and increases a few pieces of bread and fish to feed five thousand men and their families. He said that He came to preach the ”good news” to the poor. You don’t have to stay in poverty!

Was this only possible in Biblical times?
Not at all, I tested each and every principle described above in my own life and you can read these testimonies in my book – Entrance to Power. In this book I describe the exact circumstances, the exact thoughts of doubt or faith that were going through my mind at the time when I saw these miracles manifesting before my own eyes. I tell it just as it was, the words I spoke and the acts that brought about the most amazing miracles, and these are only a few examples.

Yes, people might have thought I was blasphemous and trying to exalt myself to the level of Jesus. One day, I was standing listening to the family members of a man that was already being declared brain-dead, he was litterally taking his last breaths of life and was only kept alive by machines. While they were standing there waiting to bid this dying man farewell, and discussing the funeral arrangements, I chipped in and said: “You know what? Garry is not not that sick all! “.

You could hear a pin drop…
Then I said: “He is still breathing, Lazarus was in the grave for three days, and lived…” Well, it is a long story, but this man and a few other critical cases are alive and well today because I refused to accept the natural facts. It was a lesson for me, what would have happened if I conformed to everyone else’s idea of what is going to happen?  And I had the priviledge to witness this a number of times.  Yes, I consider myself extremely priviledged and I am humbled by these experiences.  But the fact is, if I can see these miracles, so should everyone else.  And what a place this world would be if we all step into this realm spirit power?

What are you going to accept and believe as the highest authority in your life, natural fact or spiritual truth?

Are you constantly feeding your mind with natural facts and negative talk, or are you meditating and prophesying spiritual truths over your own future?

What you believe is what you will create in your own life. What you believe will also come out in your words. Do you speak life and act on spiritual truths, or do you accepts the symptoms of sickness to be the final outcome in your life?

Initially, Peter probably never thought that he could walk on water because everyone knows as a natural and scientific fact that it is impossible. Peter and the disciples have never seen such a thing accomplished by any man. However, hearing the calm and commanding voice of his Teacher and witnessing the example Jesus was setting before them, Peter at once believed in his inner most being that it must be possible. For a moment he silenced his rational mind and really believed that he can also do it. For a moment he accepted the Words of Jesus as the higher level of authority.

True to his impulsive character and without a second thought, he jumped out of the boat. It was only a distance away from the boat that his rational mind awakened to the fact that he is actually doing the impossible, he is walking on water!

His rational mind, the logically reasoning mind, started to contradict his “blind” faith. Doubt and fear then started to overrule the principle of “supernatural faith”, fear gripped his heart and his abilities were limited to the laws of physics, he started to sink. Nevertheless, he walked on water back to the boat together with Jesus. Not too bad for walking on water for the first time, I would say!

When you are having second thoughts about anything you believe, you will start losing faith and the creation of the supernatural outcome that was already on its way to you is compromised. Never accept the physical facts as final! Do not accept that God is saying “no” to your prayers, not if His Word says “YES”.

Just like Peter listened to the voice of Jesus, commanding him to get out of the boat, we should not attempt the supernatural without first seeking the knowledge, guidance and instructions from God, and apply it for the right purpose – to establish or expand the kingdom of God in people’s lives.

How do we know what God’s instructions are?

The first level of instruction and guidance can be found in the Bible. The better you know God’s will and instructions by studying and meditating the Word of God, the more faith you will have to perform supernatural miracles. From studying the Word with the right attitude, we know that physical healing is God’s will, and we can perform healing miracles without doubting if it is God’s will. Why? Jesus never turned anyone away that came to Him for healing. It is written – “He healed them all!”

This is why, when I minister to people for healing, I will never pray “If it is Your will God, please heal this sick person? ” This is what I have done for many years, trying to get people healed, and nothing I can really describe as a supernatural miracle ever happened. There is another kind of faith that can produce instant results, or results that are unexplainable by science. It was only when I blindly “jumped out of the boat” and started commanding sickness and pain to leave. This authority, backed by many hours of meditating and studying to understand and believe, caused that first miracle to manifest. There was no turn-around after this, I have witnessed my first miracle!

If you are a believer in the God revealed to us in Bible scripture, you are supposed to be God’s appointed ruler on earth (Rev 5:10, Luke 10:19). Just accept your God-given right (by grace) and take up the responsibility. We should start doing the things God expects from us as His sons and daughters, people that should start coming forth in the very same image of His dear Son, Jesus Christ (Ephesians 4:13).

Jesus commanded His disciples to go and heal the sick. God is on your side! It is your inheritance. We should rule on this earth as God’s appointed kings (Rev 5:10, Luke 10:19), not sickness or calamity! Train yourself then in this faith, grow in it, and start to practice your authority over natural things from the supernatural dimension of the Spirit.

By studying the Word of God, we also know that prosperity and abundance is God’s will for everyone. One of the main reasons Jesus mentioned that he came to earth, is to “proclaim the gospel (good news) to the poor”. The promise for provision and prosperity is one of the most repeated promises to be found in the Bible. It is the one promise directly associated with the Way of the Spirit in Mathew 6:33. Mathew 6:33 is about material blessings. We should know who we are in the spiritual realm and we should know our position of authority on this earth.

Therefore, we can freely ask God for anything we need, as long as our purpose is to support us in demonstrating and advancing His kingdom on earth. This is one of the basic rules for wealth creation. Work for the kingdom of God by performing the miracles and the signs identified with His kingdom of power, and everything “shall be added unto you” .

God’s kingdom is one of giving to receive. To serve is one of the most important factors that will bring supernatural provision into your life. Giving away demonstrates our faith in God’s supernatural provision and abundance.

God’s kingdom is on earth, and it is a kingdom marked by miracles, signs and wonders as Jesus has demonstrated. God is waiting for us to heal the sick, raise the dead and speak abundance into existence. Get the knowledge!

(Scriptural references from The Amplified Bible unless specified)

This is an article based on the contents of my eBook – Entrance to Power

let’s say you trust God for something specific in your life and you know that it is something good and positive and in accordance to the Bible.

For example: You might trust God for financial provision, a good job or independence, and it doesn’t happen. The question then comes to you “Is it God’s will for my life?”

Someone recently asked me this question: “I know that God wants to bless us all the time, in our finances, in our health and in everything we do. But the problem is that very often people talk about God’s will and how a lot of people in the bible were poor and suffering and they were people that loved God, for example Lazarus in Luke 16:19-31. Was it God’s plan for Lazarus to be poor and sick?”

First let me say that we are encouraged to pray and believe for anything, whether it is something we want or need:

Mark 11:23-24
Truly I tell you, whoever says to this mountain, Be lifted up and thrown into the sea! and does not doubt at all in his heart but believes that what he says will take place, it will be done for him. For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

Philippians 4:6
Do not fret or have any anxiety about anything, but in every circumstance and in everything, by prayer and petition (definite requests), with thanksgiving, continue to make your wants known to God.

Mathew 6:8
… for your Father knows what you need before you ask Him.

We have been created by God as co-creators on earth. This means that we will have the natural desire to always seek increase in our lives. One of the most common causes for depression is the fact that people have lost their vision for the future. They have accepted as fact in their minds the idea that their future holds no increase or change of circumstances for them. They have lost hope and feel stuck in what see and experience around them.

Sometimes, we might not receive what we ask for immediately. The reason is that we are on earth for the purpose of learning, growing and maturing our soul lives. We need to work on our motives and soul growth first to qualify and be ready for some of the things we ask for, but eventually, we will receive what we have asked for if we keep on believing and working in the natural to develop the opportunities presented to us from a higher Influence in order to make it happen. Many believe they can ask for anything and God will just supply it while they are sitting back and passively watching the horizon for the thing to appear from nowhere out of heaven, and if it doesn’t happen, they will say “It was not God’s will that I should not receive it” or “God said ‘No’”.

As we grow in soul maturity, spirit knowledge, and faith, we will find that our needs and wants become Kingdom directed. In other words, our motives, ideals and what we desire or have obtained by materialistic means, become subservient to our higher calling as co-creative souls with the creative Spirit of God. As we get attuned to God and come in line with God’s will, we then start to see provision, healing and blessings flow into your life as we adhere to one principle that is the most important pivotal spiritual key to a life of increase and success.

Everything you do in life, your work, your riches, independence, all should be directed to bring you into the right circumstances so that you can best utilize your God-given talents and abilities to expand and co-create with the Spirit of God with the purpose to expand the Kingdom of God on earth. The kingdom of God is first established and increased in your own life, your family and then in the lives of others that come in contact with you.
This is the ultimate key to success and increase, and specifically on a materialistic level if you objectively read this scripture within context:

Mathew 6:33 But seek (aim at and strive after) first of all His kingdom and His righteousness His way of doing and being right), and then all these things taken together will be given you besides.

These are incredible powerful verses we find in the Bible, and if it doesn’t work in your life, the fault is not with God or His promises, it is to be found within your own mind, your attitudes, your believes, your words and your actions. For any miracle or supernatural interference to manifest in the physical, our thoughts, words and actions must be in agreement. This is how faith for the supernatural is released to produce miracles.

The presence of God in you will increase in your life in all aspects and you become a co-creator with God, empowered to ultimately manifest His kingdom in this three-dimensional realm by means of the spiritual gifts resulting in miracles, signs and wonders as Jesus has demonstrated so wonderfully.

Meditate for a moment on these verses in the Bible:

Mathew 18:19 Again I tell you, if two of you on earth agree (harmonize together, make a symphony together) about whatever [anything and everything] they may ask, it will come to pass and be done for them by My Father in heaven.

Mark 11:24 For this reason I am telling you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe (trust and be confident) that it is granted to you, and you will [get it].

John 14:12-14 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father

And I will do [I Myself will grant] whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], so that the Father may be glorified and extolled in (through) the Son.

[Yes] I will grant [I Myself will do for you] whatever you shall ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].

John 15:7 If you live in Me [abide vitally united to Me] and My words remain in you and continue to live in your hearts, ask whatever you will, and it shall be done for you.

John 16:23 … I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that My Father will grant you whatever you ask in My Name [as presenting all that I AM].

1John 3:22 And we receive from Him whatever we ask, because we [watchfully] obey His orders [observe His suggestions and injunctions, follow His plan for us] and [habitually] practice what is pleasing to Him.

1John 5:15 And if (since) we [positively] know that He listens to us in whatever we ask, we also know [with settled and absolute knowledge] that we have [granted us as our present possessions] the requests made of Him.

This spiritual power will not be released into your life before your soul (conscious mind) has not adapted and accepted as the highest law, the principles of the law of the Spirit (the highest law of the Spirit of God is love). Spiritual “head knowledge” or even knowing and practicing religious doctrine, is powerless if spiritual revelation is not meditated upon (Psalm 1) until it is the ruling and controlling knowledge in our higher, spiritual mind (the subconscious) and you are constantly progressing into greater harmony and “in tune” with God’s “mind and thoughts” (God’s will). Meditation and prayer brings us into oneness with the Father Spirit.

People who claim that it is God’s will for some to be rich and others not, or some to be healed and others not, should then explain if all these Bible passages are lies. If God lies, then He is not divine and He cannot be trusted at all.

Jesus said: “ I only do the will of my Father” – John 5:30

Did Jesus heal all the sick that came to him in faith – YES

Jesus said: “I came that they may have and enjoy life, and have it in abundance (to the full, till it overflows).” John 10:10

Do you believe it for all aspects of your life, spirit, soul and body?
You can take the following scripture to your heart for provision in spirit, soul and body:

2Corinthians 8:9
For you are becoming progressively acquainted with and recognizing more strongly and clearly the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ (His kindness, His gracious generosity, His undeserved favor and spiritual blessing), [in] that though He was [so very] rich, yet for your sakes He became [so very] poor, in order that by His poverty you might become enriched (abundantly supplied).

Let us look at the case of Lazarus, the poor beggar, lying at the entrance of a rich man’s house in Luke 16:19-31

In this passage the story is told to contrast between the rich and healthy man, and the poor, sick Lazarus. Now what is the actual message of this passage of scripture?

1. To tell us that all rich men go to hell and all poor fellows go to heaven? No, Jesus is teaching the people that the condition of the heart, your spirit, and soul determines where you will end up. This is in contrast with what many on earth might view as success. Jesus is using this contrast between the false security in earthly riches and the meek and humble true nature of a man’s heart to bring the message over. The message is not against riches, but the fallen state of a man’s heart in contrast with his seemingly successful earthly life.
2. To tell us that it is God’s will for some to be rich and others to be poor and sick?
   This is even more ridiculous as nothing is mentioned in this passage that Jesus might have walked passed this sick man who was asking for healing, and then Jesus would have said: “No, it’s not the Father’s will for you to be healed, stay sick so that God can use your story to show that people who are sick and poor should be contempt with their situation”

So why was Lazarus sick and poor all his life? The Bible doesn’t say because Jesus told this story to emphasize the fact that we are saved, not by earthly status and splendour, but by the ways of our hearts, by faith and living for His kingdom by demonstrating God’s love towards others. What I do know is that there are other scriptures that directly address the issues of healing and abundant living. We don’t have to refer to a scriptural piece that in essence has nothing to do with the concept of poverty, riches or health, to try and prove something that contradicts the rest of scripture.

There are numerous other Bible scriptures that clearly and directly spells out God’s will for us to be healed and to increase in abundance, in fact, Jesus clearly states that this is the reason He came to earth; to show us the way into victory and abundant living by God’s grace while on earth. Grace is what we can obtain by faith. Math 6:33, John 10:10, Isa: 61:1, Luke 4:18, 1 Peter 2:24

If you have ever wondered what God’s will is, look at what Jesus did and taught. He demonstrated the perfect will of the Father. He healed all the sick and never lacked to pay for anything. He even increased food and withdraw money from the mouth of a fish when the money bag was not at hand. He also walked on water, calmed the storm and made wine from water and performed many other supernatural miracles.

Why are some good folks sick and/or poor in this life? Well, one passage states the following: So that God’s glory and love can be demonstrated through the miracles of healing and/or blessings. One example is the story of a man born blind, the disciples suggested all sorts of reasons for the man’s blindness, but Jesus said something very important:

John 9:3-4
Jesus answered, It was not that this man or his parents sinned, but he was born blind in order that the workings of God should be manifested (displayed and illustrated) in him.
We must work the works of Him Who sent Me and be busy with His business while it is daylight; night is coming on, when no man can work.

This is a clear example that it is God’s will to demonstrate His love through healing miracles. Shouldn’t we also demonstrate the same deeds of love and power in the lives of those in need?

John 15:16 You have not chosen Me, but I have chosen you and I have appointed you [I have planted you], that you might go and bear fruit and keep on bearing, and that your fruit may be lasting [that it may remain, abide], so that whatever you ask the Father in My Name [as presenting all that I AM], He may give it to you.

Well, to do that we also need to get ourselves healed and blessed in the process, don’t we?

So why are not all our prayers answered to heal the sick or receive what we want?

The answer is a simple one in my opinion:
Because we don’t walk on water yet like Jesus.

Why don’t we walk on water yet?
Because of our lack faith as Jesus has so many times pointed out to His disciples.

Why are we lacking in faith?

Because we don’t spent the time Jesus has spent in the presence of His Father every day and from youth to meditate and learn about the things of the Spirit (See also Psalm 1). We don’t enter into the “Secret Place of the Most High” (Psalm 91) where we can receive this faith, provision, blessings and protection and live a supernatural life as promised in this most powerful Psalm describing the supernatural life. On a soul level, we are not fully developed yet, we are trying to accomplish things in our own power and by our earthly intellect instead of believing we can walk on water, heal the sick, calm the storm, increase food, change water into wine etc. etc.

Our spirits can be perfectly saved through spiritual re-birth and becomes perfect and one with God’s Spirit. Our souls are saved through the process of the washing by the Word of God that we obtain be reading and meditating God’s Word. Only then can we start to apply these principles in our daily lives. We should buy out time in God’s presence to receive revelation and spiritual impartation.

To hide our own lack of spiritual power and shortcomings on a soul level, many would say that it is God’s will for this person not to be healed, or its God’s will that I am poor, or it is God’s will that this calamity has killed so many people.

Whenever I pray for someone and that person is not healed, I look into my own soul, and I can clearly see many reasons why I have failed… for if everyone was instantly healed, I would probably stop learning and developing on a soul level, I might even become boastful and my own ego might be become too big for me and others to handle. But thank God for the miracles I do experience so many times!

Every time I fail on a spiritual level, I go back to God, dissatisfied with myself and my lack of spiritual development, and then I try again, I seek for more revelation, I learn… and I grow in spiritual power.

Jesus said: I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father. (John 14:12)

This is God’s will, for you and I; to grow in spiritual power and to live the same powerful life that Jesus was able to live on earth!

Ask, seek and knock to enter into God’s presence!

To help you in your soul journey to grow in God’s power, I have written this very comprehensive study based on the revelations and practical examples whereby I have tested and proved for myself, each and every principle over the span of more than twenty years. This is a book about miracles, signs and wonders and how to make them happen – Entrance to Power.

Entrance to Power

When I receive these requests, I realize that if there is one thing we all need, it is a miracle every now and then. The good news is that God is absolutely in the business of doing miracles and I have seen and experienced His miraculous interference in earthly matters on a daily basis. That is why He is called God, because He is supernatural in abilities. If you are not experiencing the supernatural interference of God in your life, it might be because you have never discovered the spiritual pathway to God’s supernatural realm.

The God I believe in has proved Himself to be a Supernatural Spiritual Creator who loves doing good things for His children.

I will share with you the straight forward basic principles that has manifested many supernatural miracles in my life as I have shared with you on this web site and in my book – Entrance to Power.  Of course, this article is just an overwiew that touches on one practical aspect of spirituality.  If you believe differently, but you are not seeing any supernatural manifestations, maybe you are on the wrong track and your religious ideas, your efforts to make the Law of Attraction or “The Secret” work for you isn’t working, because many of these theories, however nobly intended, does not recognise the higher laws of the Spirit.

In short, this is how I have been able to manifest supernatural miracles in my life and circumstances on a regular basis, but again, these practical points are based on years of meditation, prayer, seeking and testing spiritual revelations that have become spiritual knowledge, fact and faith in my life.

Once we have established in our minds that God is God, and He has inspired the Bible, then everything we read in the Bible must of course be true for us, because God is not a man that He should lie. This is the first two requirements if you would like to experience miracles. But there are more requirements, I will list the basic steps below as a starting point, and they are not difficult to implement at all.

• First requirement: Decide for yourself that God is God, and therefore supernatural in abilities. He has also created us so He can love us and do good things for us to lead us closer into relationship with Him. God wants us to discover Him through faith and to follow and love Him by our own free will.

• Second requirement: God inspired people to write a Book, wherein He explains and inspires us to believe in Him. Now settle it once and for all in your mind that the Bible is complete in truth, just accept it in faith if you would like to see real true supernatural miracles and interference in your earthly matters.

• Third requirement: If the Bible is true, then we must follow God’s given path to His provision. This path has been opened for us by God, manifesting Himself in human form on earth to demonstrate this type of faith and supernatural abilities. It is His will that we should all be able to operate in this kind of creative faith. Jesus said:

John 14:12 I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, if anyone steadfastly believes in Me, he will himself be able to do the things that I do; and he will do even greater things than these, because I go to the Father.

• Fourth requirement: You must know how to pray. To pray for a miracle means that you must know who you are in God’s kingdom. Many believers do not see miracles because they haven’t been taught that they have the God-given right to command and rule over sickness, financial lack and negative circumstances. Many believers don’t realize that God is waiting for them to discover who they are in this universe. We are supposed to be God’s kings and rulers on earth and our life’s should be marked by miracles, signs and wonders. (Revelation 5:10, Luke 10:17-19, Mark 16:17-20 etc)

The Two Types of Prayer

In the Bible we read that there are two types of prayer; The seeking type of prayer and the prayer of faith.

Jesus taught His disciples how to seek the Father’s presence in secret and how to pray for His provision in their lives.  We read about this framework of prayer in Mathew 6.  Let me highlight an important point here in relation to the subject of this article:

Mat 6:10 – Your kingdom come, Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.

From this scripture, we can clearly see what is God’s will for us.  God’s will for us on earth is nothing less than how things are in heaven.  We can ask ourselves:  Is their sickness in heaven? Is there any lack or poverty in heaven?  If not, then we can logically deduct that sickness and poverty is not God’s will for us on earth.  Jesus instructed His disciples to pray that heaven be manifested on earth.  Not only was this His isntruction how we should pray according to God’s will, but He always demonstrated His Father’s will by performing miracles signs and wonders, thereby manifesting heaven on earth wherever He went.

We also read in James 5:14 about the “prayer of faith”.

James 5:15 And the prayer [that is] of faith will save him who is sick, and the Lord will restore him; and if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven.

This type of prayer is not the same prayer that we pray in secret when we seek God’s presence on a personal level.  This is the type of prayer that Jesus always prayed when He was manifesting miracles.  In fact, there is no asking in this type of prayer.  This is the prayer that can “move mountains”.

This is an example of how we should practice faith to manifest a miracle:

Mathew 8:8-10 The centurion replied, “Lord, I do not deserve to have you come under my roof. But just say the word, and my servant will be healed.

For I myself am a man under authority, with soldiers under me. I tell this one, ‘Go,’ and he goes; and that one, ‘Come,’ and he comes. I say to my servant, ‘Do this,’ and he does it.”

When Jesus heard this, he was astonished and said to those following him, “I tell you the truth, I have not found anyone in Israel with such great faith.

The prayer that will move mountains are founded on a personal relationship with God.  It follows the prayers you have prayed in God’s presence in the “secret place”, where only you and God are present.  The prayer of faith are the words that you speak in the face of calamity, sickness and disaster. According the Word of God, this is the kind of faith that will draw God’s attention!  No wonder that Hebrews 11:6 states “Without faith, it is impossible to please God.”

This means that this kind of faith is pleasing to God, and we can demonstrate this kind of faith, not by speaking to God about our problems, but standing next to God in heavenly authority and speaking words of faith into the negative circumstance on earth.

The prayer of faith doesn’t petition or ask God to do something for us all the time.  I have tried this for many years without seeing one miracle.  The prayer of faith is our responsibility and spiritual effort of faith to change things from a spiritual realm of authority.

Many who have read my book and this blog, have asked me to send them an example of the prayer of faith. I have decided to write a prayer of faith here that you can adapt for your circumstances, personlize and pray to change your circumstances.  We can pray the same prayer for sickness, situations and financial problems.

You are welcome to print this prayer, adapt it in any way to make it personal and to add specific details to it.

Pray this prayer with conviction of heart and faith in every word:

Our Father in heaven (place of authority, provision and abundance),

I come to you in faith, spirit and truth in the name of Your dear Son, Jesus Christ of Nazareth.

I confess that I am Your Child and that I have been redeemed by the complete work of Jesus Christ. I declare that I accept Jesus as Lord and Saviour.

I thank you Father, that Your will is for me to have life, and have it more abundantly, as it is written in John 10:10

According to Your promise Father, I now call a good job and financial outcome into reality in my life. I COMMAND debt and financial lack to leave my life right now in Jesus name!

Poverty, I COMMAND you to go!  Debt, I COMMAND you to go!

I thank you Father that I can leave my finances in Your hands, while I will do what your Word requires of me according to Mathew 6:33.

I will proclaim your kingdom, and I thank You that I am the righteousness of God in Christ Jesus. (2Corinthians 5:21)

I praise You, because by the stripes of Jesus, I were healed. (1 Peter 2:24)

I now take authority as a believer and child of God, over all sickness and calamity.

By the authority you gave me as a child of God, I bind Satan and his works, knowing that he is not allowed to do me any harm. (Luke 10:19)

Therefore, I COMMAND sickness, pain and suffering to go!
I COMMAND all harmful viruses in my body to DIE in Jesus name!

I speak death into all forms of sickness present in my body. I now speak life, and life abundantly into my body.

I thank you Father that you have healed me now. I can see myself normal and full of life again, doing the things I have always done.

In Jesus name,

amen.

With this prayer, always visualize yourself healed and full of life, take
time to meditate on God’s Word and your healing, use your creative ability
to imagine yourself healed and prosperous every day for 30 minutes. Enter
into God’s kingdom inside of your spirit, spend time with Jesus and the
Father, and thank God for your miracle.

When you pray this prayer for healing and/or provision, be aggressive towards the sickness and financial
lack. You are appointed on earth to rule as a king of a King, use that authority to destroy the works of the enemy.

Then I saw Him approaching from the opposite direction.  Our eyes met, He smiled at me. He was dressed in a white robe laced with blue and gold.  Those deep blue, piercing eyes were looking into my very soul, touching me with an intense love and unconditional acceptance.

My excitement, expectation and appreciation for Him were nothing matched against His acceptance of me.  He turned around and started walking with me in the direction I was going.

We started talking and I asked a few questions.  We walked together, sometimes talking, sometimes just enjoying each other’s presence.  I remember how I placed my hand on Jesus’ shoulder and how He has put His arm around my shoulders.  For me, it would be a strange thing in this life, being hugged by another man like this while walking on the beach, the intimate feelings on a soul level, but being hugged by Him was just something that cannot be explained.

I was enjoying His presence, trying to match His feelings towards me, but it is impossible! The more I tried projecting my appreciation towards Him, the more He would engulf me with His love and acceptance.  After another period of silence, I decided to mention another apointment that was scheduled for the next day.

I talked to Him about my friend Andries, who would be visiting me the next day.  Andries was 29, and he weighed 36kg.  Twenty years of suffering from the after-effects of the brain tumours he had developed at age 9, the operations, several strokes and heart failures had finally worn him out.

His health was taking a turn for the worst during 2007.   I could sense Jesus’ compassion for our brother.  I must have been lost in His presence, not noticing that we are not on the beach anymore, we entered into a clearing from the dense bushes into a heavenly scene!   I was not on a beach somewhere on earth anymore.

I stood before a building with huge doors, it swung open as we got near and Jesus stood back, indicating that I should enter in.  I stepped forward into an amazing environment illuminated with soft and subdued hue.  The building stretched almost as far as the eye could see.  I looked at the uncountable number of objects on the row upon row of racks that stretched into the far end of the building.  Some of the objects were glowing with soft neon blue or green colours.  There were instruments and machinery connected to some of the objects.  Limbs, body parts and organs were neatly aligned as far as the eye could see.  Jesus was standing behind me, watching me and smiling at my astonished look.

I looked into the subdued, far end of the building, noticing an object glowing against the wall to our right.  I knew that I was supposed to go there and have a closer look.  I walked down one of the long corridors with racks on both sides towards the object I saw glowing.  As I came near to it, I recognised a complete brain, both lobes, the brain stem connected to the long strings of nerves hanging from it.  It was glowing and pulsating with life…

“It is glowing because it has been activated by the prayers of people that were praying for Andries’ healing, it is ready to be utilized now”.  Jesus’ spoke to me without audible words, His thoughts and mine were connected.

“Can I take it along then?” I thought of asking.

“No, tomorrow is the time, when they visit you.”

“Thank you Jesus, I’m so glad you will be there to heal him, I know I couldn’t do anything without You”, I remarked with feelings of utmost relief, gladness and gratitude.

“No, I’m not going to come and heal him……, you will have to come here, with Andries, and collect his healing…”

Jesus explained: “Many times, healings are manifested because of the Father’s love and grace.  The miracles you see is glimpses of heaven manifested on earth and it demonstrates the Fathers’ will and love for you. What the Father really desire, is for His children to learn to come into heaven and seek a relationship with Him.   I have already done everything I could on earth to open the way for everyone to enter in and take hold of all that is already theirs by inheritance.”

I understood now, why everyone is not healed when we pray for them on earth, God wants us there!  He is keeping the best for when we will grow up spiritually to meet with Him in the “Secret Place”.  All of a sudden, I understood fully what Psalm 91 means. In addition, Psalm63 is an awesome revelation of this kind of experience.  There in the sanctuary, the Holy of Hollies, everything is available – there! Supernatural protection, healing and provision. We want God to bring it to us all the time, but He is there, waiting for us to enter in and lay hold of every spiritual blessing in the heavens!

As we walked back to the beach, I promised Jesus that I would bring my brother into heaven the next day.  I made an appointment with Him.

The previous three months or so, I  had been listening to quite unorthodox teachings by Ian Clayton, a series called “Supernatural Encounters“. His teachings regarding his encounters with God in heavenly places opened up a new level of spirituality to me.  I was also practising deeper meditation based on these teachings during prayer time.  The object of this prayerful meditation is to enter into the twilight zone between being consciously awake or asleep, and to allow the sub-conscious mind to come into a higher state of “super-consciousness”.  I believe the sub-conscious mind’s ability to connect to the spiritual ream, was what we lost with Adam’s fall.  If we can eliminate our SELF-awareness, get it totally out of the way and bring our spirit and subconscious to a more conscious level, we can actually (after much practice to crucify the flesh and the natural mind), be transfigured into heavenly realms where we can actually meet and talk to God, Jesus, angels and other good spirits from the kingdom of Light.  Far-fetched?  Well, this miracle was exactly the proof and confirmation I was looking for, that what I was getting involved in, was truth and a higher level of spirituality mostly undiscovered by believers in general.

I am not yet able to consciously enter into God’s presence in such a super-conscious state where my senses could actually perceive God in absolute conscious reality. However, I know that by faith we can obtain what is not yet seen.

The Friday evening before Andries, his mother Rykie and his sister Juanita arrived, I got the feeling that this is not going to be just another praying and “laying on of hands”-session to get this healing manifested.  I decided to spend my time in deeper prayerful meditation and visualization, talking to God about Andries.  I wanted to make an appointment with God for the next evening when they would be visiting. A great part of my writings is about defining the correlation and explaining the powerful principles of visualisation when combined with faith.  I have come a long way, yet I know I am spiritually underdeveloped (as I believe humanity in general still is).  In my book Entrance to Power, I am trying to bridge this void, to enable people to find the entrance into a higher spiritual dimension.

The next day, I asked Andries and his family members to accept the fact that this session is going to be different from what they might be used to.  I briefly told them about my experience and they understood right away. I was glad their spirituality and faith was on a level that could make this miracle possible.

We entered into prayerful meditation. I spoke, briefly describing in simple words the experience we were having, again on the beach, meeting with Jesus, walking and talking with him.  In the vision, I took my brother on the same path with me and Jesus and to the building. We arrived at God’s store room. We entered into the building through the large doors and we went straight to the far end with the glowing brain.  I took the brain and nervous system off the instruments and the hooks.  We walked back to the beach with Jesus, thanking Him for this precious time with Him.  In my lounge, Andries was sitting on the chair in front of me.  I was standing behind him, and I took the new brain (virtually by visualization and by physical demonstration) and I lowered it into His body from the top of his head.  I told him that from now on, all pain and migraines would disappear, all nausea and lack of appetite.  He will gain weight again, and all damaged parts of the old brain where they operated on him, the scars in his brain from the strokes, everything was now healed.

Afterwards, for the first time, Andries was his own self again, talking to us.  We sat and listened as he told us about his life, the traumas, the victories, the faith and his visions of heaven.

This healing was a miracle and a blessing from God and I have to pass all gratitude, glory and praise on to my heavenly Father.  I believe that in this specific case, it was God’s intention to manifest a little piece of heaven in the lives of a few people and a this family in a very special way.  I also believe that the way we were led to approach this miracle was quite unique (for me at least) and an invitation from God to seek His face and presence in the “secret place of the Most High” (Psalm 91).

We touched heaven and the garment of Jesus!

If only we would seek God’s face, and not only His miracles, we could have it all!
