You should know that God wants you to have all the good things in life. He wants you to
prosper in health. He wants you to prosper in areas of finance. He wants you to prosper in
Spirit. Furthermore, it IS His will that you walk in total health! Sickness is not of God.

1 John 1: 7 – 9 (NKJV)
“But if we walk in the light as He is in the light, we have fellowship with one
another, and the blood of Jesus Christ His Son cleanses us from all sin. If we say
that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we
confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us
from all unrighteousness."

If you have a need in your life, there are some things that need to be addressed before God
can meet your needs. First, before you ask God for anything, you need to search your
heart and if there is ANY sin in your life, you need to acknowledge those sins before God
and confess them unto Him.  Then ask for His forgiveness. Cleansing comes through the
blood of Jesus as a result of our admission and confession of sin. So when we come to God,
we should ask Him for forgiveness for anything we even think would be sin in our life.

Psalm 66: 18
“If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me.”

After you have received cleansing from any and all sins that may have been in your life
you should consider yourself completely cleansed. You should not to carry any feelings of
guilt for sins that you once committed. Guilt is not of God! Once you receive forgiveness
and have gotten all sins under the blood of Jesus, at that moment you are the
Righteousness of God and you have no sin in your life! Remember, NO SIN CAN ENTER
INTO GOD’S PRESENCE!

2 Cor. 5: 21 (NKJV)
“For He made Him who knew no sin to be sin for us, that we might become the
righteousness of God in Him.”

Heb. 4: 16 (KJV)
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace in time of need.”

After you have asked for and received forgiveness for any sin in your life; after you have
received cleansing through the blood of Jesus, you can now consider yourself prepared
and ready to enter God’s presence and come boldly before Him with your request.
Remember, in approaching God, always understand that you are coming before Him
because of the righteousness of Jesus rather than your own righteousness. In other words,
you are coming before God cleansed of your sins and made right before God through the
work of Jesus. So by this means are we given the right to come boldly before the throne of
grace! It is your faith in the shed blood of Jesus that makes you the righteousness of God!
By faith you can now come boldly before God and talk to Him face to face!  By faith you
can now “find grace in time of need!”

Psalm 100: 4a
“Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, ….”

Now that you have received forgiveness of any sins that may have been your life and
have received cleansing through the blood of Jesus, you can begin entering into God’s
presence. We are told to enter His gates with thanksgiving. Begin to worship God and offer
to Him thanksgivings for who He is! Give Him thanksgiving for what He has done for
you. Thank Him for everything you can think of that He has done in your life.

Psalm 100: 1
“Make a joyful shout to the Lord,”

Psalm 100: 4b
“…And into His courts with praise. Be thankful to Him, and bless His name.”

Now that you have offered thanksgivings unto God, begin to praise Him. God loves to
hear loud praises from us! He wants us to forget about everything about us or anyone
around us.. He wants us to focus our full attention on Him and offer loud praises unto
Him. Become bold and shout praises unto Him! We are told that God is “Enthroned in the
praises of Israel.” (Psalm 22: 3 NKJV)

Heb. 4: 16 (KJV)
“Let us therefore come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain
mercy, and find grace in time of need.”

Philippians 4: 6 (NKJV)
“Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication, with
thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.”

Finally, now that you have entered His gates with thanksgiving and His courts with
praise, you are now in the presence of Almighty God! It is at this time that you should
talk to God and let Him know what your need is. Let Him know if you have need of
healing in your body. If your need is a financial need, tell Him about it. Whatever your
need may be, this is the time to let it become known to God.

St. Mark 11: 24 (NKJV)
“Therefore I say to you, whatever things you ask when you pray, believe that
you receive them, and you will have them.”

When you ask God for whatever your need is, believe that you have already received it
and it will be yours! As I said earlier, God wants you to have the good things in your life.
He wants you to live free from sickness and disease. He wants you to have financial
success. He wants you to have Spiritual maturity.

Do you want to receive healing from God? Do you desire a financial blessing or Spiritual
awakening in your life? Whatever your need may be, God is willing to give you the
answer you need. If you need healing in your body please pray the following prayer of
faith with me and agree with me in the Spirit.

"Most Holy and Righteous Father, I boldly come before You in behalf of my dear brother or
sister who desires his or her need to be met by You. A lady needs healing in her body. A man
needs healing in his body. I cannot physically put my hands upon these people and touch
them as a point of contact, but I ask that this message become that point of contact instead.
Father, I ask that You touch my brother or sister!  By the power and authority Jesus gave to
me, I speak complete healing into his or her body this moment as we pray! I speak health
into this body of my brother or sister! I speak to you brother; I speak to you sister, receive
healing now, in the name of Jesus!

Thank You, Father! I call it done now because You said that Your Word will not return unto
You void, but that it will do the thing which You have sent it to do. I give You all the glory,
honor and praise! Thank you, Father! Amen."

Now you need to begin to do the things you could not do before. Also, begin to speak
positive words of healing. DO NOT SPEAK NEGATIVE WORDS!! Do not allow the enemy to
steal your healing by trying to tell you that you were not healed. Speak words of life and
truth. Quote or read the Bible every time you begin to even think negative thoughts.

Please contact me and let me know what God has done for you. I would like to rejoice with
you! You may contact me by going to the ministry website and use the Contact Us page.
