nesses and diseases in their bodies. Make the
little, deformed babies whole. We know you
can do anything because you are Lord God
Almighty; and you are the same yesterday,
today and forever. Heal! in the blood name
of Jesus! Heal! in the all-powerful, blood
name!
God’s healing power is now flowing to you.
Feel His holy presence conquering the death
that was working in your body or in the body
of your loved one. Believe with no doubt that
the miracle is yours. Then you must serve
the Lord. He doesn’t heal people so they can
go out and serve the devil; He heals them so
they will honor and glorify Him. Jesus came
to take away sin and sickness, so let His
blood power move for you.
This is the time to stand in the place God
has prepared for you and give Him complete
liberty so He can perform the miraculous in
this final hour. The story of Gideon and his 300
men is a great example of this.
God made Gideon the head of His army and
told him to prepare for battle, so Gideon gathered
32,000 men. Then God told Gideon, The
people that are with thee are too many for
me to give the Midianites into their hands,
lest Israel vaunt themselves against me, saying,
Mine own hand hath saved me (Judges
7:2).
God wanted the glory out of the
victory to come, so He put
the 32,000 men to a test.
He told Gideon to tell
those men, Whosoever
is fearful and afraid,
let him return and
depart early from
mount Gilead. And
there returned of the
people twenty and two
thousand; and there
remained ten thousand
(Judges 7:3).
God declared that there were still too many
men for Him to bring victory, so the test continued.
So he Gideon brought down the
people unto the water: and the LORD said
unto Gideon, Everyone that lappeth of the
water with his tongue, as a dog lappeth, him
shalt thou set by himself; likewise every one
that boweth down upon his knees to drink.
And the number of them that lapped, putting
their hand to their mouth, were three
hundred men: but all the rest of the people
bowed down upon their knees to drink
water (Judges 7:5,6).
The 300 men who took up water with their
hands to drink were selfless, alert and watching
for the enemy. Those who put their faces to the
water were only considering their own thirst
and giving no thought to the enemy in the land.
And the LORD said unto Gideon, By the
three hundred men that lapped will I save
you, and deliver the Midianites into thine
hand: and let all the other people go every
man unto his place (Judges 7:7).
