Chapter One – The Gift of Faith Released
The Spirit of the Lord declares: The Gift of Faith was not only given, but received by all! This is the hour where faith is no longer reserved for the few, nor hidden behind veils of tradition, but poured out upon every hungry heart. The Lord does not call you to lean upon imaginations, which are fleeting shadows, but upon faith-vision, which anchors itself in the unshakable Word of God. Imagination may deceive, but faith brings answers from heaven into the dust of earth.
Consider the leper who cried out in Matthew 8: “Lord, if You will, You can make me clean.” Jesus did not hesitate, nor did He debate. He touched him and declared, “I will; be clean!” Faith moved into action, and healing manifested. Beloved, understand this—Jesus never once prayed, “if it be Thy will” when ministering deliverance or healing. He revealed the will of the Father: compassion, mercy, restoration. Why then do so many build theologies that contradict His living Word? It is not faith to doubt; it is faith to act.
The laying on of hands was not meant as ritual, but as channel of divine power. In Mark 16:17–18, the Lord decreed that signs follow those who believe—casting out demons, speaking in new tongues, and healing the sick through touch. This promise is not for apostles only, nor prophets alone, but for every blood-bought believer. When hands are laid in faith, and when faith is joined with obedience, the miraculous bursts forth. Healing often arrives at that very instant, for faith refuses delay.
Do not be distracted by theatrics, the outward falling or the show of power. The true question is this: when they rise from the ground, are they healed? The Kingdom of God is not word only, but power. Mercy is the heartbeat of that power. Compassion is the fragrance of Christ’s anointing. The psalmist declared: “The Lord is good to all; His mercy is over all He has made” (Ps. 145:9). Mercy heals because mercy restores.
I speak to those who feel as though all hope is gone, who cry, “What more can I do?” The answer remains the same: believe the Word, not the circumstance. When the centurion pleaded for his servant, Jesus said, “As you have believed, so let it be done for you.” That very hour, healing came. Do not wait for another moment, another place, another sign. The soil of your heart was created to receive His Word, and His Word never fails. Decide to be well, even as you once decided to be saved.
Thus says the Lord: This is the era of immediate miracles, sudden breakthroughs, and unstoppable testimonies. The faith of Jesus Christ is being poured into the Church—not to admire, not to imagine, but to act and to manifest His Kingdom upon the earth.
Chapter Two – Authority Over Darkness
The Spirit speaks: Do you not know that at the Cross, Christ stripped every principality, spoiled every power, and triumphed openly over them? The authority that shook hell now rests upon His saints. You are not victims of circumstance but participants in His victory. Even the smallest believer, hidden and unknown, carries authority over the mightiest demon because they stand in the triumph of Christ the General.
Sickness, torment, cancer, paralysis—these are but manifestations of spirits that seek to destroy. But the Spirit of Life in Christ Jesus sets men and women free. A demon may attempt to lay disease upon a body, but he cannot touch the redeemed spirit. When the spirit of death is cast out, the flow of life returns. Muscles revive, tongues loosen, limbs obey. Healing begins not in imagination but in action—stretch forth the hand, bend the knee, declare the Word, and the body responds to the signals of faith.
This is why Jesus said, “Stretch forth your hand,” and it was restored. Faith commands action, and action unlocks the miracle. Many ask, “What if healing does not come?” Yet I tell you, healing is the child of mercy, and mercy is never withheld from the broken. There are times when God moves despite man’s failures—such is His sovereignty. But the pattern remains: faith, obedience, action, and the compassion of Christ.
The devil trembles at three things: the Blood of Jesus, the bold testimony of believers, and the authority of Christ manifested through His saints. Do not fight in your own strength, for the battle has already been won. You are but a soldier carrying the banner of His triumph. When you resist, Satan flees. When you declare, demons bow. When you lay hands, the sick recover. The electricity of heaven flows through the wire of faith until the lamp of healing shines.
Do not idolize methods, for healing is not in technique but in the Person of Jesus. Do not chase signs; let signs follow you. Jesus is the Healer, and the Spirit of the Lord still proclaims Isaiah 61: “The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, because He has anointed Me to bring good news to the poor… to bind up the brokenhearted… to proclaim liberty to the captives… to comfort those who mourn.” That same anointing rests upon His body today.
The Lord says: Decide now that you shall not die but live, and declare the works of the Lord. The time is short, the age is closing, and the Spirit is being poured out in greater measure than ever before. The Church must rise in purity of heart, wielding authority with humility, compassion, and boldness. The sick are waiting, the broken are longing, and creation groans for the sons and daughters of God to be revealed. Go forth, for God is ready—anywhere, anytime, in you.
How This Relates to a Woman in Brisbane
Several years ago in Brisbane, a woman named Margaret faced what doctors called an “impossible” condition. A sudden blood clot had left her partially paralyzed and bedridden in the Royal Brisbane and Women’s Hospital. Doctors gave her little hope for recovery. Her daughter, desperate and weary, phoned a local pastor asking, “Do you believe God would heal her?” The pastor simply replied, “All I know is what the Bible says—‘As you have believed, so be it done unto you.’”
Margaret chose to believe. She asked the pastor to come, and he laid hands on her, not with long prayers of uncertainty, but with the simple authority of Mark 16: “They shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” As he prayed, Margaret felt warmth surge through her body. The paralysis did not instantly vanish, but something shifted. The pastor encouraged her, “Begin to move what you could not move. Faith acts.” With effort, she bent her fingers. Slowly, she lifted her arm. By the end of that week, she was walking with assistance. Within a month, she returned to her home, able to cook and care for herself again.
This Brisbane miracle reflects the prophetic word: healing flows when faith acts. Margaret’s recovery was not imagination but the fruit of faith joined to action. She stretched forth her hand, and it was restored. Her testimony spread among her neighbors, many of whom had given up hope in God. But through her healing, they saw that Christ’s mercy is alive. Just as the chapters declare, God is ready anywhere, anytime—even in a Brisbane hospital room. Margaret’s story is living proof that the Gift of Faith belongs to all who will believe.
