It should also be understood that, although one may have full understanding and faith in our Covenant healing, that sometimes God has His appointed time to manifest it. Meantime He refines us in the fires of affliction, purging out impatience while teaching us patience, replacing fear and dread with faith filled courage thru daily sustaining miracles, and causing His Word to become flesh in our lives in our wilderness experience, as we embrace with overcoming faith and endurance whatever pain and suffering or privations we encounter. It's called the furnace of affliction. But when those trials and testings of the enemy have done their worst, we come forth as gold. We never fear or doubt, nor do we quit trusting and declaring His Covenant truths, which is our birthright.
There are, however, occasions when spiritual blockages need to be dealt with to break the hold of the enemy. Unforgiveness, bitterness, etc. Repentance may be required to loosen and break free from a legal hindrance that the enemy may be using. Good message.
I once witnessed a man who the doctors said was on his deathbed get raised up and healed when I went to the hospital to visit him and pray over him. I went there in obedience to the Lord. I felt no anointing, no power at all. Yet the next day this man had fully recovered and would go home shortly. The doctors were mystified. I now know that the Lord did this miracle for the benefit of my 18 year old daughter who had accompanied me. This miracle taught her that God will move when we pray, even with mustard grain sized faith. She loved this family very much, so the impact was truly great. It was the grace of God, pure and simple.
One of my favourites. This is so cool and I'll be putting this into practise for sure. My prayer life was so boring and missing something but now...oh man alive!
Thank you so very much for this prayer model Dr. Jim. This is a great help indeed to finally put everything aside about what I learned in the past about prayer, and go back to the beginning and learn from my teacher, the Holy Spirit how to truly pray for the first time ever 🙏🏻❤ A very wonderful blessing indeed.👍🏻
Amazing 😇 ‼ Dr Jim Richards is amazing ‼Only one dislike - must be Big Pharma 🤣 Praise Jesus for Dr Jim Richards. I have been listening to him for maybe almost 20 years. I have listened to literally hundreds of different preachers and there is almost no one that teaches such deep truths with such simplicity, love, and understanding. Be prepared for truth bombs! Dr Jim said something like this once: "I am always happy when I find out I am wrong, so I don't have to live under that deception anymore." WOW ‼If you let it, his story will encourage you, empower you, and inspire you. He has such a wealth of knowledge of so many different fields, and combines them for your benefit. Thank you Dr Jim. ✝🙏
WOW! This is so good, and so useful. Thank you for your love and your passion to help us. You are so kind. Your teachings opened my eyes and changed my life. I am so grateful to the Lord who led me to you in 2016. Don't forget to take care of you and your family. Blessings to you from France. 🤗🦾💚🙌💥🙏🦾💛😍✝
Thank you Jim. That was the best statement you've ever said on that subject, that God is the healer, he's not the maker sicker! I was busy cleaning my air fryer and was so into that, when I heard you say that, I burst out laughing and was so very intrigued at how easy it is to see that now more than ever before.
Getting off the roller coaster is a true step of faith pursuing the stable road of blessing. It's a terrifying thing on an emotional level, but if we don't get off this roller coaster it's a futile life of recycling the same ol same ol. When I first heard this teaching it sounded so new age to me, but the way I was going wasn't helping at all... Now with ears that hear outside of a religious mindset I am willing to turn around and go a different route. Thank you.
The kingdom was at hand. It never was fulfilled because the Jews rejected their king and put him to death. All according to God's plan, however. The Jews were to be a light to the gentiles but the Jews never saw the light to begin with. God revealed a mystery to Paul, which we see in his epistles Romans through Philemon. It's a mystery because it was never prophesied about, but it was in God's mind before the foundations of the earth. He revealed his plan of salvation by grace through faith. We are the body of Christ, with Christ as the head. We are saved by believing in Jesus's atonement for our sins by his death on the cross, his burial and his resurrection. 1 Cor 15: 1-4. The Jews, in Jesus's earthly ministry were saved by believing Jesus was the messiah. And they had to repent, be baptized AND follow the law. That is the kingdom gospel. It was taught by Jesus, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. That was the rock upon Christ was to build his church. That church, and the body of Christ which was revealed to Paul, are two completely different entities.
Paul began teaching the gospel of the kingdom - repentance, baptism, then filling by Holy Spirit. To the Jews only.. In the synagogues. As Jesus did, and the other apostles. The kingdom was at hand.But that kingdom never happened because it was rejected, and Jesus was put to death. That kingdom having ended, Paul was chosen to preach the gospel of grace to the gentiles. That's us. We are saved not by repenting, and being baptized, but by believing that Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and raised from the dead. That is our salvation. 1 Cor 15: 1-4.
Love all of your teachings Dr. Richard’s and this one is another classic! I would love to hear your insights on the Roman centurion and how HIS faith healed his servant. Also, what Jesus meant when he said (vs. 13) “as you have believed, so be it done unto you”…but he was believing for his servant to be healed, not himself? If you have a teaching on this, please point me to it.
This leveled me. SO good. Thank you, Jim. I'm so grateful for you, and so blessed that your ministry's origin is my hometown (Huntsville). This teaching is a game changer. Blessings and shalom! ✝️❤️🔥
Constant awareness of Holy Spirit is to pray without ceasing.. Jesus didn’t use long wordy prayers. People need to know what is coming and this world is coming to an end and why you leave out the prophetic , which is a third of scripture, is leaving people in the dark. 🙏👆🏼🔥✝️
Give me strength Heavenly Father, I come to you today asking for your blessings as a single mom. My husband is in heaven with you. I’m raising my children with strength and courage, despite the challenges I face with my sons both being autistic. Lord as I struggle to pay my rent every month and as I struggle to buy groceries for my children. I ask that you bless me with your wisdom and guidance, as I navigate parenthood on my own heal my lupus and heart disease and continue to give me strength to keep going so I may watch my sons grow into men. ❤
Love this message, met too many judges in Christian disquise. Not less myself. But I work on it, realized God will not just take my inner defects away like a quickfix ferry, but Gives me power and support to handle it. It’s getting better which encourage me to NeXT step. Even though I step backwards sometimes. God bless us all!😇❤️❤️❤️
We just lost our kitty Nov .2nd and it was so sorrowful for us .We loved her she brought love and laughter in to our home and took our minds off our problems so many times .We really miss her so much .
Although I enjoyed the Passion of the Christ and the Chosen, I always feel uneasy seeing someone portray Jesus. Even when approaching the role with reverence it is still blasphemous. “You shall not make for yourself a carved image, or any likeness of anything that is in heaven above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth." Exodus 20:4
I found this yesterday and said I would listen today. I had to put my cat Blanna down 11/03/23. He had lung cancer that metastasize to his face and I I did not want to put him down but he got worse I was giving him holistic medicine, eye drops, cleaning him up putting glass door on him everyday and praying over him I got a prayer cloth for him you name it including reading the word to him. Yes I had him 19 years long time but for me it's like losing a child. I needs prayers I miss him so much. My first pet never thought I could love an animal so much. I'm so shattered I can barely breathe. But I thank God and I'm grateful for the time I had. God will get me through
We see the reflections of Jesus whenever we encounter Christians whose words and deeds are the result of being filled with the Holy Spirit, which is why it is so important for his disciples to walk in the truth.
