- Boy, you just rejoicewith him, don't you?

As you listen to the storyof what James went through,

I mean, that was a lot.

I love the part of hisvision where he said,

God was reaching down toward me,

and all I could do wasbow down before Him,

because the power of God,

is beyond our understanding, really.

But he has the power to touchus right at our point of need.

He has the power, scripturesays He reaches down,

He lifts us up, sets our feet on a rock,

pulls us out of the miry pit,

gives us hope in thefuture, gives us life.

In James' scenario, youknow, we all have needs,

and I know many of you watch this program

specifically for this point in time.

Where we pray together,

where we commit to you to stand with you

and whatever your need is,

and where we ask God to hearus all as we come before Him

and as we bow down and worship who He is.

So we wanna take sometime to pray for you today

and to encourage you in your faith.

If James' story hasn't done it,

we've got a couple of othershere to share with you.

Gordon, this is Duncan, wholives in Bellevue, Nebraska,

clearly remembers the day in 1965

when he seriously injured his shoulder.

More than 50 years later, hewas still in agonizing pain.

He was watching this program,

and he heard you Gordondescribe his injury

and proclaim God's healing during prayer.

So Duncan, stood with you in that,

claimed his healing today after 50 years,

he's pain free, andgiving God all the glory.

- [Gordon] Praise God.

Here's Linda from North Carolina,

she had two very seriousconditions which brought her

tremendous pain, discomfort.

Her doctors did all they could,

but they couldn't healer.

And so, Linda learned tolive with chronic symptoms.

She was watching the 700 Club.

Terry, you said, someone namedLinda called her by name.

I don't know your condition,

but this is what I feel you are to know.

You've been diagnosedwith some serious things,

and you have accepted it as part of life.

God is healing your condition right now.

You are being made completely whole,

and everything botheringyou is healed now.

Well, Linda believed, was healed,

and her doctor has confirmed her healing.

- [Terry] Praise God.

- Wow, wow, these are wonderful miracles,

because it's a wonderful God.

Now, ask yourself this question.

How does faith work?

How does it work?

Well, the Bible is veryclear, it works through love.

And you saw in James' story,how much he dwelt on love,

how he sang about it,

how his church communitysurrounded him with love,

to let them know thatthey were there with him.

They were going to go through it with him.

You heard it from the doctors,

from all the medicalprofessionals who surrounded,

they surrounded him with love.

In that environment, faith works.

Faith works through love.

So, right now ask for thelove of God to surround you.

When you have that, you knowhow much He cares for you.

And faith becomes veryeasy in that environment.

You know that you don't have to bargain,

you don't have to beg youknow, you just have to receive.

You have to receivewhat he's already done.

Now this is love thatwhile we were yet sinners,

Christ died for us.

That means he died for you,

even when you were alienatedfrom Him in your own heart.

Leave all that alienation,

turn your thinking to the love of God,

how His love was poured out for you,

as His blood was poured out for you.

His love is all aroundyou, let it be in you.

Let it be into your everybreath, your every thought,

Jesus loves me, this I know,for the Bible tells me so.

Let's pray, let's believe,

and let's let God's love do all the rest.

Lord, we just come toyou, and we thank you.

We thank you for your sacrifice.

We thank you that you took all our sin.

You've forgiven all our transgressions,

while we were alienated fromyou, you made a way back.

So we turn and we're reconciled to you,

we want to be in your presence.

We want to feel your love.

Your overwhelming, overflowing love,

pour it out on us Lord God.

Let us dwell in it, let us knowthat greatness of your love.

Be with us now.

And now in your love, we reach out,

we ask for those who are injured.

We ask for those who have chronic illness.

We ask for all those whohave difficulty breathing.

We ask for everyone who is sick,

who has any kind of infirmity,we bring them to you,

and we lay them at your feet.

And we ask for them to be healed.

Stretch forth your handto do miracles now,

for we ask it, in Jesus' name Amen.

Terry, God's given us.

- Yes, someone you have I don't know

if hemorrhaging has started,

or there's a fear of hemorrhagingin the back of your eye

and the loss of your eyesight.

God is stopping that right now,

whatever the condition is,

that's causing all of this concern,

and the potential diagnosisGod is stopping that.

Your sight is being restored to you,

receive it in Jesus' name.

- There's someone a Mary,you've been praying for a child

and the picture I have isthat you have your left hand

under the child's head and shoulders,

and the other hand, under their legs,

and you've been literallylifting them to God

asking for healing for your baby.

God is healing right now.

He's answering that prayerright now in Jesus' name,

your child will be restoredwill be completely healed.

Just receive it, believeit, in Jesus' name.

But someone else you'vesustained an unusual fracture

above your eye and itgoes into your forehead,

God's going to knit thatbone together properly.

And, all the pain, all the discomfort

is gonna be leaving you right now,

in Jesus' name, just receive that,

believe that, receive it.

And experience Hishealing touch right now,

that pain's leaving you it'sgoing away now, in Jesus' name.

- There's someone else who'sexperiencing for a long time

hostility in your family.

You'll know this as youbecause earlier this week,

you came across thescripture where it says,

before we come to Him for anything,

if we have ought against anygo back and resolve that.

God is going to open some doors for you

to walk through to resolvethe hostility in your family.

Don't be afraid to walk through that door,

He's gonna give you allthe wisdom, all the words,

all the peace of heart and peace of mind,

do what he leads you to do in Jesus' name.

- Lord, we thank you.

We thank you that you are thehealer, you are the savior,

you are our peace.

And Lord, let your love dwell in us.

Let it be in us, let everyword that comes from us,

be spoken in love, in youranointing, in your Spirit.

For we ask it in Jesus'name, amen, and amen.

If you've been healed, let us know.
