My name is Scot Ashcroft and this is How Can I Be Healed Ministries
A little over ten years ago, I found myself at a crisis of faith. I had failed at so many things. My first marriage ended in divorce; I had failed as a Pastor; and my life was going nowhere fast. I had all I could take. I felt like Pop-eye “that’s all I can stands and I can’t stands no more. I prayed a dangerous prayer. I prayed “Lord, whatever you have to do to change me, just do it, just spare my life. I became extremely sick over a 10-year period. I want to emphasize that isn’t wasn’t God who made me sick but that he used and turned these things around to take a wimp and make him strong in faith.
It was a nightmare. I was in constant pain. I would tell people it was like having arthritis throughout your whole body and the stomach flu along with mono. There were many times I thought I would die. I had fifteen to twenty things wrong with me at times. I honestly think I experienced about every negative physically and mental thing that one could. I kept working and many times I would have to command my legs to go up and down the steps at work in the name of Jesus. Anyone, I will share things at times about that. If you are interested my testimony is on my website.
After 5 years I was healed, and God gave me a choice. I could either stop and have a great testimony and be healed or I could go deeper. I told him “I have come this far; it’s the Book of Acts or bust for me.” I wanted to teach others how to receive their healing. During this next five year period, there were three collapses as the roots were deep enough and I was fighting against the forces of hell itself. I don’t believe that the devil wanted anyone getting ahold of these truths about Divine Healing that had been hidden from the church.
Finally, a few months ago, the end of this trial came and I was healed and God recently told me that the roots are deep now. He opened so much truth through revelation of the Word by the Holy Spirit all I can say is it was amazing. I was a man who virtually never heard from God in thirty-five years plus as a believer, and now I hear his voice in my heart many times daily.
Why should you listen to me? I have studied this for ten years: and God opened the Book of Acts to me (Divine Healing: Biblical Teaching/Promises/Laws/Principles)
I also have practiced on myself over this ten year period and have seen God heal me 100’s of times.
I had prayed for a few others and seen some amazing results. God has anointed me to teach and wants me to share what worked for me with others. I am so grateful to him. I give him all the credit and glory. God had to strip away a great deal of pride from me. I am just a messenger. I am excited to share this with you.
-I will be doing FB Live at 7 pm every Tuesday for one hour from 7- 8 pm Central Time. -On Thursdays, I will post a Written Teaching from the same subject.
-Please tell your friends or invite them to watch with you.
-So, let me ask you this question:
DISCLAIMER
DON’T EVER GO OFF YOUR MEDICATION(S) OR TREATMENT PLAN WITHOUT YOUR DOCTOR’S CONSENT!
YOU DON’T WANT TO RISK INJURY OR DEATH TO YOURSELF! GOD’S WAY REQUIRES FAITH AND GOOD COMMON SENSE! Get your doctor’s report to agree with what you are believing for; then you go off your medications or stop your treatment with your doctor's guidance, blessing and a testimony.
James says, "faith without works (actions) is dead." We think if we just throw our medication away and trust God; we'll be fine. That is a formula for disaster! That is putting the cart before the horse. It just doesn’t work that way. Going to the doctor also prevents people who are presumptuous from hurting themselves. Hoping you are healed is not enough, you need medical confirmation.
Remember this medical intervention: treatments, surgery, medication, etc. is always better than doing nothing. I am just saying there is another option: God’s best is divine healing and then learning to walk in divine health.
-Let me also say that I will not be going into great depth answering these questions. I will do that later.
QUESTIONS THAT TROUBLE US-ABOUT DH (AND ANSWERS)
-These questions will take a few weeks to answer and if you have additional questions please go the Contact Me Form.
-Then I will move on to Divine Healing 101-The Basics; How to Defend your healing; How to Walk in Divine Health; and How to Pray for others to be Healed.
1. Do I need more faith to be healed?
“And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.” (Matthew 17:20)
-Just the size of a Mustard Seed (a kernel of salt)
2. Is unbelief and little faith the same thing?
-I believe they are. The term unbelief has been replaced in some versions of the Bible with little faith. This is very important so listen closely. It only takes a mustard seed of faith to be healed. So, little faith isn’t the problem. Everyone has the measure of faith.
“according as God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (Romans 12:3)
-Everyone has the right equipment- enough faith the measure Think of it this way if it says unbelief we get that. Little faith is a non-producing faith (too much unbelief-they are saying the same thing)
3. Can a person have faith and unbelief at the same time?
-Yes! In fact, that is usually the problem.
“Immediately the father of the child cried out and said, “I believe; help my unbelief!
(Mark 9:24)
4. What about these people who wall around saying there are healed and yet they never get healed?
-They are trying but it is in their head only and hasn’t gotten down to their hearts. If they keep going and stand on the promises they will break through! If they quit-they may become cynical-I tried that-it didn’t work. You must seek with all your heart and don’t quit until it manifests! Once you get one victory under your belt-book mark that in your mind and go for bigger victories down the road.
5. Is it wrong to pray more than once for healing?
“Truly, I say to you, whoever says to this mountain, ‘Be taken up and thrown into the sea,’ and does not doubt in his heart, but believes that what he says will come to pass, it will be done for him.
Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received[a] it, and it will be yours. (Mark 11:23,24)
-Don’t dig up your seed-the Word of God is a Seed-you plant it and water and fertilize with Thanks. “Thank you Lord that you have already healed me.” Not petitioning for it again. You can command it to manifest. But if you pray once and then again: it means that you didn’t believe the first time and you are being double-minded and a double-minded person will not receive anything from the Lord.
-I think you Scot you are being a little too legalistic or technical. God knows what I mean. Are you getting results? When it came to divine healing, I wasn’t getting any positive results, now I am getting them all the time on myself. These laws are meant to be followed, we can’t just throw it out there and hope it sticks.
-I do believe there are times that God “interprets” he sees our heart and faith and even though our words may not be expressed in accordance with his Word, he grants it.
6. Does God want everyone to be healed?
-Yes! One of my favorite movies is “God’s Not Dead.” The first one. There is a line in there which I completely disagree with. It has become such a catch phrase in the church that nobody seems to even question it. “Sometimes, God says no.” That is not true. Now if you are asking for things with impure motives “like could I have ten new cars Lord? -that is a different story.
“For all the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen” (Corinthians 1:20)
-That means yes and so be it
“Ye ask, and receive not, because ye ask amiss, that ye may consume it upon your lusts” (James 4:3)
-Healing is always Gods will!!!
7. What stops people from receiving their healing?
-Two things
1. Unbelief
2. A lack of understanding of the principles of God’s Word concerning healing.
“Then came the disciples to Jesus apart, and said, Why could not we cast him out? 20 And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you” (Matthew 17: 19, 20)
-Again, it’s not a faith problem but an unbelief problem
“according as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: 4 whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature” (II Peter 1:3,4)
-Knowledge through the Promises makes us receivers of his divine nature-His Power
