The Power Behind Divine Healing by Fern Holm, Author of Pivot Point
The key to releasing this POWER was used by Jesus Himself...
John the Baptist came in "the spirit and power of Elijah" Luke 1:17
But JESUS came in the Spirit and power of God, His Father!
"God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with POWER." Acts 10:38
++++++++++++++
Then ...
Jesus GAVE some of that power to His disciples:
Luke 9:1 -"Then He called His twelve disciples together and gave them power and authority over all demons, and to cure diseases."
And,
Even after Jesus returned to heaven, His followers continued to move in the power of God:
Acts 8:6 - "And the multitudes with one accord heeded the things spoken by Philip, hearing and seeing the miracles which he did."
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
OK, if we're truly 'born-again', we've got the Spirit -
So... Where's the POWER???
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Mark 14:62 -"...And you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of THE POWER "
Jesus - the eternal 'WORD', made flesh - received the anointing of the Holy Spirit and the power of His FATHER:
"For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily." Col 2:9
But, guess what?
WE are supposed to be filled with the spirit of Christ (the WORD), AND the Holy Spirit, AND the POWER which comes from the Father!
"For this reason I bow my knees to 1) the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ from whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named, that He would grant you, according to the riches of His glory, to be strengthened with MIGHT through 2) His Spirit in the inner man, that 3) Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith...
that YOU may be filled with
ALL THE FULLNESS OF GOD."
Ephesians 3:14-21
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
God's POWER is the key to supernatural healing (known as divine healing or faith healing),
and even JESUS used that key:
"Now it happened on a certain day, as He (Jesus) was teaching, that there were Pharisees and teachers of the law sitting by, who had come out of every town of Galilee, Judea, and Jerusalem. AND the power of the Lord was present to heal them." Luke 5:17
Jesus was there, and THE POWER OF THE LORD WAS THERE - and Jesus tapped into that power to heal a man who was paralyzed.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The power of God must have been a palpable presence in that room -
"If I cast out demons by the Spirit of God ("Spirit of the FATHER" in Mt 10:20), surely the kingdom of God has come UPON you". Mt 12:28
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
We will KNOW when the power of God is present to heal, and we shouldn't try to forge ahead without it!
So, ... how do we bring the kingdom of heaven to earth?
How can we move in the POWER ?
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
A.
"You will seek Me and FIND Me, when you search for Me with all your heart." Jer 29:13
B.
"Repent (turn) therefore and be converted (be changed), that your sins may be blotted out, so that ->
->times of refreshing (new life!!) may come from THE PRESENCE OF THE LORD,
AND that He may send Jesus Christ, who was preached to you before, whom heaven must receive until the times of restoration of all things, which God has spoken by the mouth of all His holy prophets since the world began." Acts 3:19&20
C.
PLUS, the best-kept secret of all: GIVE HIM GLORY GLORY GLORY!
Ro 15:6 - "that you may with one mind and one mouth GLORIFY the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
"Fear God and give GLORY to Him, for the hour of His judgment has come; and worship Him who made heaven and earth, the sea and springs of water." Rev. 14:7
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
The more glory we send up,
the more glory that comes down!
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Exodus 33:12-18 THEN MOSES SAID:
"If Your PRESENCE does not go with us, do not bring us up from here....
And he said, "Please, show me Your GLORY."
Then He said, "I will make all *My goodness* pass before you"
*God's GLORY -> is the POWER -> of His Goodness !!
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
So,
Whom are we needing to invite into our 'healing rooms' and our healing sessions?
"They raised their voice to God with one accord and said: "Lord, You are God, who made heaven and earth and the sea, and all that is in them,... (referring to the Father)
Now, Lord, look on their threats, and grant to Your servants that with all boldness they may speak Your word, by stretching out YOUR hand (the FATHER'S hand) to heal, and that signs and wonders may be done through the name of Your holy Servant Jesus."
Acts 4:24-30

About the Author
Fern Holm, Author of PIVOT POINT, a creative nonfiction [category: religion, Christianity] ... To fill the time on my way to becoming a writer, I got married (I'm trying to be funny), had two sons who now tower over me, worked as a kindergarten & elementary teacher, directed child care centers, and currently sell real estate - a skill which also comes in handy when marketing my book ... So, can I interest you in a prime piece of literature?? 
>A note from Fern:... When people make a conscious choice about their beliefs, it's one thing - but PIVOT POINT exposes an subtle external influence that appears to be ever-so-slowly turning Christians - in a direction they never planned to take.
