Divine healing teaching

I just wanted to share some teaching that I found a number of years ago before I started praying for the sick. This teaching is clear and simple and may help to rid you of some traditions that might have kept you as Christians from fulfilling what Jesus told the 12 (Matt. 10:7-8, Luke 9:1-6), the 70 (Luke 10:1-12, Luke 10:17-20), and ultimately us (Matt. 28:18-20, Mark 16:15-18, John 14:12-14) to do in fulfilling the Great Commission. If you read through these and look through the scriptures to confirm them, I believe you will find that it is quite different than what you may have been taught, what you may believe now, or may have believed in the past, depending on where you are in your understanding of divine healing and God's will in the matter.

I have had a lot of questions about divine healing of physical illness and I understand that I am not alone. I began to study the teachings of John G. Lake. Often, I found that I was ambivalent, wanting to believe that "Jesus heals them all" and yet observing the plight of many who seemed to believe in divine healing and yet were not healed, on this earth.   Why are only about 1 out of 20 receiving divine healing in this country, in spite of their faith?  Why were 75% healed in some other countries and under the ministry of John G. Lake?  Is it simply that they don't have any thing else to believe in but divine healing and we actually put our trust in everything but God?

Please understand that I was already commanding spirits of infirmity to go (vs. praying long prayers for healing) before I studied John G. Lake.  I saw a woman get out of a wheelchair after 37 years, dance and run.  I saw 2 other women with serious crippling arthritis healed instantly and run up and down the steps with ease. Recently, 4 out of 5 of the people I have prayed for with serious illnesses were healed instantly or that week!  I have prophesied the divine healing of a man with cancer, commanded the cancer to go and saw him healed that week.  His divine healing was documented, before - by x-ray and after - by cat scan. 

I was healed of 24 out of 26 diagnosed illnesses when I learned how to pray scripture daily. Read Carlotta's Testimony. The first divine healing that I prayed for was for my dog who needed knee surgery.  God healed him that day and surgery was cancelled.  I commanded a spirit of cancer to leave a neighbor and he was healed of Lung Cancer.  I don't claim to have all the answers. You definitely don't have to have great faith. In fact, sometimes I think that God heals unbelievers faster.  Its not really about us; its about Him.

Along with Kathryn Kuhlman and John G. Lake, I ask, "Why isn't everyone healed?"  If Jesus "healed them all," what is hindering divine healing today -- in us?  Is it important to repent, to root out the roots and to close open doors to the enemy, in order to be healed?  I thought I would ask you what you believe about divine healing.  I have a summary of many of John G. Lake's teachings on divine healing listed below. 

Are you ready to let God pinpoint your doubts about divine healing?  I have been shocked to find out that most people, who submit results, say they agree with most of these teachings from the book of St. Luke in the New Testament.

• God's will is for us to expect to receive divine healing every time.
