WHAT YOU DON’T KNOW ABOUT DIVINE HEALNG                                                                  CAN KILL YOU???

            The MORE the BETTER or the MORE the MERRIER-
when it comes to people praying for you for Divine Healing! Right???      ------------------------------------------------------------------

                              ---WRONG! WRONG! WRONG!---

          I am in the middle of teaching on perhaps four of the Greatest Revelations that God has very given me. Last week I taught on YOU ARE REVIVAL! You don’t have to wait-Take It-It’s Yours Now!

        This week I will be sharing about the Greatest Mistake that the Church has made when it comes to getting Divine Healing. I want to emphasize that I am not talking about Divine Help but Divine Healing as a stand-alone-by itself! When you or a loved one are going through medical treatments and asking God for his help:  that is a completely different thing than I am discussing. I am going to show you from the Bible and from my own experience what works and what doesn’t when it comes to Divine Healing!

        Next Week, I am going to talk to you about Unlimited Power. Did you know that there is a way to have a hotline to God? That’s right a protected line! This kind of prayer is more powerful than anything that has or will ever be known to mankind!
 
      The following week I will be talking about OVEROCMING DEPRESSION. I use this Biblical Method. It works for me and will work for anyone!

YOU NEED THE SEED:  No more Naked Prayers

7/12/2017

0 Comments

 
           I don’t know about you but I like my popcorn with some seasoning sprinkled on it. I used to get this popcorn seasoning named “No more Naked Popcorn.” I want to point out a Spiritual Truth that God has been impressing on me the last few days. I wrote a blog on this some time ago. This is something that I practice myself daily.
 
          So, what am I getting at? What is this “No more naked prayers all about? Prayer is our communication with God. I have found in my own life if I try to overcome a situation by prayer alone it rarely if ever works. I HAVE FOUND A WAY THAT WORKS THE BEST! I NEED THE SEED! NO MORE NAKED PRAYERS! To me prayer is mainly hanging out and spending time with Jesus. It’s awesome! It isn’t religious and formal like it was for years in my life. I am very grateful for that. But when I am praying for a need for others or myself: prayer is water and fertilizer. It helps keep the conditions right for the seed to thrive and grow and produce something. 

          So, what is the Seed? The seed is the Word of God. If you think about it seeds are everywhere: from plants to animals to humans. God made it this way. The most important parable in the Bible is the parable of the sower. Why? The Bible says if we understand this parable; it’s is the key to unlock all other parables. 
 
And he said to them, “Do you not understand this parable? How then will you understand all the parables” (Mark 4:13)
 
          The Word of God is Alive! It is powerful!
 
“For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart.” (Hebrews 4:12)
 
          It’s more than words on a page. It’s God’s love letter to us and it is the SWORD OF THE SPIRIT. It is a spiritual weapon. Nothing is equal to it!!!
 
“the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God” 
(Ephesians 6:17)
 
          I find if I try to win a battle by prayer alone; I usually lose. Because it turns into a mental battle and an emotional roller coaster. But if I stand on the Promises and keep standing on them and keep watering and fertilizing that seed they always produce a harvest. Always!
 
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us.” (II Corinthians 1:20)
 
          The Bible tell us that we will reap in due season if we don’t give up(Quit).
 
“And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” (Galatians 6:9) 
 
          Let me leave you with this thought. What did Jesus do when he was tempted by the devil? He said, “It is written.” He quoted the Bible-the Word of God. That’s is how he won he battles; he took out his Sword (the Bible) and beat the stuffing out of the devil. He gave us his authority; in Mark 16 to do the same “In my name.”
 
       SO, NO MORE NAKED PRAYERS-YOU NEED THE SEED!!!

Where’s Your Faith at? Is it Growing? How do I Tell? The 3 Stages of Faith!

7/4/2017

0 Comments

 
         So where is your faith at? Is it developing properly? Is it developing at all? How can you tell? Are you like I was? I was the 99-pound weakling and the 200-lb. guy with the big muscles was always beating me up. At least when it came to faith. Faith for the Christian is that confidence that when we pray it happens (period).  God’s Word is alive but I used to treat it like it was just mere words.

          Some have pressed through in this in areas like: witnessing; gifts of the Holy Spirit; financial blessing; preaching, etc. But to be honest, I think few have in the area of Divine Healing and that’s what we are talking about here and that is what I am teaching on.
 
          Don’t wait until the storm comes. I heard a person say this and I completely agree. There are two ways for the believer to learn:  one: just begin to believe the Bible and ask God to help you and take steps of faith (not foolishness) or you can learn through the school of hard knocks. In case you are wondering the first part is the correct answer. With Divine healing, the school of hard knocks can be devastating or deadly. I went through the school of hard knocks for ten years and acquired the knowledge and experience to help others. Save yourself some future pain and learn from me if you are willing. I want to pay this forward. Many are skeptical but some have ears to hear like Jesus said. Which is just another way of saying: teachable.
 
          I am going to be teaching on the Three Different People in the New Testament who were at three different levels (stages) of faith.
I hope you will join me. I love and care about you even if I don’t know you. God has sent me to help restore Divine Healing through the Promises in God’s Word.

Today is my Independence Day: Victim or Victor: I chose Victor!!!

7/4/2017

           I was told in 1994, by a prominent marriage counseling organization that I had no creativity. They told me they were surprised I was a pastor because of my scores on their tests. They were right! This was the last-ditch effort to try and save my first marriage. It didn’t work. The marriage ended, and my ministry was over and my life was as far as I could tell.
 
          God began to do something special in my life. I chose to never bad mouth my boy’s mother. I never did! I had been a child of divorce and knew how that hurt; being in the middle. I chose to take the high road.
 
           A year later, I met the Love of my Life, here on earth. Her name was and is Ginelle. She is the most amazing woman in the world for two reasons. She loves God with all her heart and she loves me unconditionally. That kind of love is hard to find.
 
          Ten plus years ago, many of you know I prayed and asked God to change me, “to do whatever he had to do to change me.” I went through 10 years of hell on earth and came out a changed man with a Divine Healing Teaching Ministry and the goods to back it up. I once heard Lowell Lundstrom say “people are tired of empty promises they want someone who can deliver the freight.” I can humble and confidently say “I can deliver the freight now.” I give all the glory to God.

          When I became deathly sick in 2005, I started to remember those words “you have no creativity. So, I thought let’s show them Lord. Not in a prideful way, but in a going from wimp to warrior way. So, I started writing songs. I wrote 40 in 6 months. I wrote every kind of song that you can imagine. I sent them to record producers, and finally one lady said you have songwriting talent. Those words affirmed me. Then amazingly the songwriting talent turned into a teaching gift and is still developing.
 
           I am writing this to tell anyone who is struggling with health, mental, confidence or any kind of issue(s) that God can change you. I have the same basic personality that I always have had, but in Christ, I am totally different: from wimp to warrior. If he did it for me, he will do it for you. He doesn’t play favorites. YOU MUST GO AFTER HIM WITH YOUR WHOLE HEART AND YOU WILL NOT BE DISAPOINTED!
 
“For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end. Then shall ye call upon me, and ye shall go and pray unto me, and I will hearken unto you. And ye shall seek me, and find me, when ye shall search for me with all your heart.” (
Jeremiah 29:11-13) “
 
           I can tell you one thing you have a choice to be a victim or a victor.  You can’t be both: it’s one or the other. Please choose Life!
 
“I call heaven and earth to record this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life, that both thou and thy seed may live” (Deuteronomy 30:19)

          Let me leave you with this. Here is a song I wrote for Independence Day about nine years ago. This is my first healthy fourth of July since 2005. I look forward to many more! 
 

IN GOD WE TRUST
BY SCOT ASHCROFT 
 
(CHORUS)
 
THERE’ ONE THING I KNOW
WHEN I SEE THAT FLAG BLOW
I’M AN AMERICAN PROUD
AND THIS IS A MUST
THAT IN GOD, IN GOD I TRUST 
 
AREN’T YOU GLAD YOU LIVE HERE
YOUR FREEDOMS AND LIBERTIES DEAR
IF YOU’RE AN AMERICAN PROUD
THEN THIS IS A MUST
THAT IN GOD, IN GOD YOU TRUST 
 
UNITED WE STAND,
WON’T YOU PLEASE TAKE MY HAND?
IF WE’RE AMERICANS PROUD
THEN THIS IS A MUST
TOGETHER, IN GOD, IN GOD WE TRUST 
 
They took prayer out of school
What happened to the golden rule?
Now violence abounds
On our kids’ school grounds
We’re a country that’s free
But we’re losing our liberty
 
What can we do?
Now let me ask you?
Our money says this
That in God we do trust
But is this the truth?
I think it’s a must
 
Do we still believe?
Or have we lost that dream?
It almost seems
We’re too jaded for hope now to beam
 
(CHORUS)
 
Our sons and our daughters
Have shed their own blood
For freedom to reign
Don’t let it be now in vain
 
We honor them now
As they served us and how
They laid down their lives
The greatest of all sacrifice
 
Ask what can I do?
To serve my fellow man too
To make this land
A better place for me and for you
Why not now pray?
Stand up on this day
Say give me liberty now
Before they take it away
 
(CHORUS)
 
(ENDING)
 
WE’RE DIFFERENT IT’S TRUE
BUT AS LONG AS WE’RE RED, WHITE AND BLUE
THEN THIS IS A MUST
THAT TOGETHER IN GOD, IN GOD WE TRUST

It Pays to Be Honest: especially with God and Wal-Mart

7/3/2017

0 Comments

 
          About six months ago, I found a $20 bill laying on the floor at Wal-Mart. Nobody was in the area. I could have put it in my wallet and nobody would have known. Well almost nobody: God would have known and I would have known. Then two thoughts quickly ran through my head; “some random person will come up and claim it was theirs and get it even though it wasn’t.” Then this thought “nobody will claim it and Wal-Mart will just keep it and they don’t really need the money.” Then three thoughts got traction in my mind. “This may belong to some person who doesn’t have a lot of money and they will need it.” “This money doesn’t belong to me.” “God would want me to turn it in.” I did that and felt good about that.
 
          Today, as I am writing this I had quite an experience. I go every week to get my dad’s groceries and other items at Wal-Mart. He writes me a check and I cash it and put the bank envelope in my pocket to keep it separate from my other money. I learned the hard way today that this system needed an upgrade. I pulled out his list out of the same pocket and must have pulled out his money too without realizing it. I have gotten much stronger at these things but there was a moment of panic. I looked in the cart, in the area and checked my pants pockets a couple of times. You see this wasn’t $20 but $400.
 
          Part of my mind was still riled up but part began to think about that $20 six months ago. I asked the Lord to have me find it or have someone return it.

          I was directed to customer service. I waited in line and then was a lady asked me how she could help me. I told her what had happened and she said there had been some money turned in but she thought it was a lesser amount. She called the customer service manager over. They had locked it in the safe. She asked me how much it was and if I knew what kind of bills were in there. It was the $400 that I had lost. An area manager had found it and turned it in. I asked if I could give him a reward. She said that was against policy but she would give him a big shout out at the manager’s meeting tomorrow and a thank-you from me.
 
          So, what is the moral of this true story. Honesty is always a good policy. The golden rule: do unto others as you would have them do unto you. But I do believe there was a greater force at work here. I believe from the Bible and its promises that because I did the right thing 6 months ago that he protected my dad’s money and returned it to me. Several people from my church work at Wal-Mart and they are good, honest hard-working people. This area manager was an honest man and did the right think. I believe some others would have done the right think too; but let’s face it $400 is a lot of money and I think a lot of people would have just kept it.
 
          So, my hat is off to Wal-Mart and its honest employees. My thanks are to God!!!

“Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap” (Galatians 6:7)
