Brag #2 Bragging on Jesus Again
Heb 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
The reason for writing this is to give glory, honor and praise to Jesus Christ.
To encourage the sick to believe on His Name.
To encourage God’s people to step out in faith and expect the same things in your life and ministry.
When I say ministry, I am not speaking only to preachers or pastors. Everyone born from above has a ministry and a calling from God.

I was teaching a bible study in a very bad part of town. There were only 7 of us that met in a home there every week. One evening after we got started we heard a knock on the door. It was a Chinese lady. She owned a laundromat and we knew who she was, but nobody knew her personally.
As we let her in, she said she was very sick and she heard that there were people in this bible study that would pray for her healing.
This even to this day amazes me! All of the big churches in that city of over 100,000 people in that area and she was knocking on our door. Go figure!
She told us that she had inoperable tumors behind her eyes and attached to the brain. She also had tumors in her reproductive organs. This could be operated on. They told her if they operated on the tumors in her head she would lose her sight and could easily die.
Her doctor had been trying all forms of treatments and she still grew worse.
Time to consult Doctor Jesus!
I always carried a small bottle of anointing oil. There is nothing special about the oil, but it is always special and powerful to do what God’s Word says.
Jas 5:14 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Jas 5:15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.
We anointed her with oil and prayed a prayer of faith.
Whether you believe this part, it is up to you. I assure you it is scriptural and I will list the Bible verses
While we were praying, God gave me a Word of knowledge and prophecy.
So as we were praying the Holy Spirit dropped this into my spirit and I spoke it to her. “You have bitterness in your heart. You have someone in your family that you hate and that person also hates you. You wish harm on this person and would be happy if something bad would happen to them. And they wish the same on you.”
Then, “Thus says the Lord. The day you reconcile this relationship, I will heal you.”
About two months after this I got a call on the phone. It was Regina! She said, “I am healed! The person you told me about was my sister inlaw. She is here with me in my house right now. We have forgiven each other and I am healed!”
Praise Jesus!
Her doctor came to her church and testified of a bonafide miracle. No other explanation! One day she was very sick, the very next day, no sickness, no tumor. Healed by the Name above all Names. Jesus Christ!
It is at least 12 years since this miracle and she is still completely healthy.
The gifts of the Spirit
1Co 12:7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal.
1Co 12:8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit;
1Co 12:10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues:
The Words of Jesus.
Mar 16:17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
Mar 16:18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
We started a bible study in her home. It was unusual because we had to have two translators. One from English to Cantonese and one from English to Mandarin. Many came to the saving knoledge of Jesus Christ.
“Ordinary people walking with an Extraordinary God”.
Amen! He is a miracle working GOD!
He is and always has been!
Amen!
