Second in our little teaching on healing. We went thru the meaning of the Hebrew in Isaiah 53: “He took away our griefs” meaning he carried away our sickness. Now, we can hear what Matthew records as Jesus’ teaching on the subject. You will see that Jesus, too, thought that you are already healed by the Messiah’s work on the cross. Because Matthew wrote it down, you can also tell that this is what the first church understood to be Jesus’ teaching and work.

This is not just a history lesson or just an exercise in Bible exegesis. This is the basic reality of what Jesus came to do as Christ/Messiah. Healing is provided, just like forgiveness of sins. It is part of salvation. But just like we had to learn to believe and receive justification/salvation, so we have to learn to believe and receive sozo/healing . Did you know that even 150 years ago, people were not sure that God would forgive their sins? There was a “mourners’ bench” in services where people who were anxious about their salvation would sit and cry. There was great rejoicing when one finally felt the witness in his or her spirit that they were saved. John Wesley himself went through years of not knowing — which we know because he kept a journal. Then one night, when someone was reading an explanation of Romans, he felt a strange warming of the heart.” This meant that finally, what he knew was good theology he then knew and felt applied to him. He was learning about what we call salvation, but which is just that first step of salvation, knowing you are forgiven of your sins.

It has been maybe as long as 100 years or maybe not even that long that we have known that healing is in the atonement. But we individually have to come to know that it is applied to us. That is what this teaching aims at.

Of course, any parent can believe for their child. And should! It’s is not just that God wants to heal you child, but that Jesus has already done the work. What we need to do is to receive it. It is like the download is waiting. That is good news! Healing is waiting for you and your child. Understanding the Bible is part of the path toward downloading it.

We hope to offer hope and faith to mothers (and fathers and teachers and caregivers) of children who have learning problems. We preach faith. (Never give up. Reach until you have a testimony!)
We believe in healing and we will take it any way it comes. Miraculous. Healings. Innovative educational techniques. Better health. Because all truth is God’s.
The percentage of children who have some sort of learning problem is enormous. But each parent feels alone.
There ARE answers. Some of those answers are natural and pedestrian. It is important to know those. So we don’t perish. We need to know how to cook, how to teach, how to learn.
It is also important that we share factual, scientific information so we can prevent these problems in the future. God did not make this earth in this broken manner. It is not somehow holy to just submit to the brokennes.
Nor is it somehow more holy to ignore practical things that could and should be done. As long as we have bodies, we will have to do normal things. Let’s do them appropriately.
For some, it is a calling to work in occupations of wellness toward healings or politics for prevention.
Still, the miraculous power exists. A power of Resurrection. The same power that created all that is.

No one else has ever had a ministry of healing for children. For reasonable reasons. We are that. But we are a teaching ministry. Every parent must learn to pray and must learn to provide a healthful lifestyle and must choose any other help that might be needed. We will help in that first step: hope and faith.

“Zero Percent Chance of Living”

“Zero Percent Chance of Living” is what the medic said about my grandson when he took him off the icy pavement and put him into the ambulance. But we believe in healing. I called up another ministry in that town. We all prayed. He turned 5 in a coma. When he came to, the nurses celebrated with me. When my grandson went to a room and I had a moment, I called the DPS medic to thank him. He was speechless.

That is how this broadcast started. My daughter and her sons had a terrible auto accident. It was that icy Christmas of 2004. I sent her away, back to her home, so I could have a bit of a rest over the holidays. But we got that call. That one you always dread. We got on a plane to the next big city, where there was what was supposed to be the best pediatric ICU unit in the state. We set up camp. We prayed. I called for help.

This one lived. And more than lived. He was not a vegetable as the nurses assured me he would be. Oh… lots of stories along the way. About those nurses, for instance. But anyway, that grandson when on to be an honor student in the first grade. He went on to have a normal life, according to his circumstances.

And my pastor at that time ORDERED me to write a book about how I helped my grandchildren. That book is Learn at Home for Great Shalom. You don’t have to be a homes educator to use the knowledge of how to help your child, no matter what the learning need. Then God said to go on the radio. Which I did. Then I figured out that young mothers were more likely to listen to podcasts than Christian teaching and talk channels, so I was an early adopter of podcasting.

Here we are. I am just now figuring out how to offer Lioness levels. I am inviting you into faith for your child’s success. You might need a miracle like the one we got with this one. Hear the story.
