Well, it's time to bring it
on with the email questions
that you all have
submitted to us.
And Pat, this first one
comes from Dana, who says,
"I have to work
daily, even though I'm
very sick, so I DVR every
episode of "The 700 Club".
I pray with you on
each of the healings
although I'm not watching live.
Is it still possible for me to
receive healing when I'm not
praying for the miracle live?"
I'll tell you story, but
it's kind of a fun thing.
Somebody was watching
our program on tape.
They were in Florida.
We were in Virginia.
The show had been
taped a week before.
And I was praying.
A woman was watching.
And I said that somebody that
has a bad knee and the Lord
is healing it.
I believe it's the right knee.
This woman said to the tape,
no dummy, it's the left knee.
At that time, I said on the
tape, no, it is the left knee.
And the woman got healed.
Wow.
So listen.
And we've had things
in Africa take place,
where the spirit of God
rebuked demon spirits
and drove them out of a-- it's
unbelievable what goes on.
The power of God is not limited.
So I mean, God's infinite.
OK.
What's next?
This is Lauren, who says, "I
just recently watched your show
and you stated that yoga
was great for stretching,
but do not participate
in the mantra meditation.
I'm so glad you mentioned
it because I've always
felt uncomfortable about it.
Is feng shui complementary
or contradictory
to the word of God?"
The feng shui-- the idea is
that some kind of a chi energy
goes around.
And if you orient a building
in a particular direction--
so there's a feng shui master
that comes to tell you.
So a company I had
rented an office space,
and it was all checked
out for feng shui.
Well, the company went bankrupt.
So feng shui didn't do any good.
So, I mean, it's a
bunch of superstition.
There's nothing more or less.
But anyhow, the Chinese-- they
really believe in it big time.
All right.
This is Mary, who says,
"I've been baptized and washed
in the Blood.
I know I am blessed
but there is still
an emptiness that consumes me,
and I don't know what to do.
How do I know that God loves me?
And how do I know what He
wants from me if I am so numb?"
Read the Bible.
Read 1 John.
By this you shall know
that the Father loves you.
God is love.
Live and love.
Live and God.
If we walk in the light
as He is in the life
we have fellowship
with one another
and the blood of
Jesus Christ continue
to cleanse us from all sin.
It goes on and on.
You've got to let
the word of God--
and you've got to
believe the word of God.
In other words, what
you're saying is,
I think God is a liar.
You say, oh no, I'm
not saying that.
Yes, you are.
You're saying God is a liar,
what's in his word isn't true
and I don't believe it.
So just begin to believe
what the Lord says about it
and take it and receive it as
gospel, which is what it is.
All right.
You know what nobody
mentioned to me?
I think it's a good idea
to take those promises
and put your name in it.
Write them down.
You know how you often
talk about the spoken word.
The written word, too,
I think does that.
This is Renee, who says, "I just
recently surrendered to Jesus.
I keep the Sabbath and
the Ten Commandments,
but my husband refuses to take
the Sabbath day off from work.
He actually hates the idea
of me becoming a Christian.
I love him very much and
don't want to lose him,
but he simply will
not follow me.
Do I divorce him?"
I wouldn't think of
divorce right now.
What I would think of is pray
for the unbelieving spouse.
And listen, there's a lot
more to come into Jesus
than whether you quote,
"keep the Sabbath", or not.
I don't know what Sabbath--
Sunday or Saturday,
what day you got.
The gospel is a whole
lot more than days
of the week and rituals.
So you just pray.
What does the Bible say?
The unbelieving spouse will
be won by the godly woman who
lives with him.
So live your life
before him and--
That takes time.
Takes time.
So don't be thinking
about divorce.
Thinking of restoration
and whatever.
Go ahead.
This is Joseph,
who says, "While we
are to pray for healing, not
everyone is physically healed.
Is it because of a lack of
faith or is it because suffering
is necessary and
perhaps some of us
would fall into
sin if he healed?"
Kathryn Kuhlman said that
when she gets to heaven,
she'll ask God why
everybody isn't healed.
There's a whole lot to it.
We don't have faith.
We don't believe God.
We don't have power
that Jesus had.
We don't address
the thing properly.
Some is demonic and we don't
know we're dealing with demons,
but we think we are
dealing with a virus.
There's so many
aspects to healing.
And really, none of us
have the complete answer.
When Jesus was here, he healed
everybody who came to him.
Everybody.
There was no record of
anybody that he turned away.
He made them wait some time,
assessed them a little bit.
There was nobody
that he turned down.
So he had power to
heal everything.
But that was Jesus.
So if we get closer
and closer to him,
we can have more
and more miracles.
Well, I guess that's
all the time we've got.
Thanks so much for
being with us and we
hope you have a great weekend.
We leave you with Today's
Power Minute from Psalm 103:12.
"As far as the east
is from the west,
so far has he removed our
transgressions from us."
