Are supernatural healings in the Bible simply signs of the authority of certain men? Has God said anything in His word about what we can expect when we pray for healing?

We are blessed to live in a time and place where we have access to so much good teaching on the Word of God. But we must recognize that there is more to spiritual maturity than simply loading up on good teaching. We must not only hear the word. We must receive it and do it. The difference between hearing and receiving is subtle, but important; only then can we be doers.

Can you remember the day you gave your life to Christ? Most of you can. Can you also remember the things that brought you to that point? Most of us, I think, did not respond to the Gospel the first time we heard it. The moment we surrendered our lives to Him was just the final link in a chain of events that brought us to that point. We plant seeds, water the plants, tend to the soil, and finally reap a harvest. The harvest of ...

We refer to those who have yet to come to Christ -the unconverted- as 'lost'. But just as there are many different callings, giftings, and ministries among believers, lost people are lost in many different ways. We need to be as prepared as possible to address the issues that stand in the way of the lost soul responding to Christ's call.

There are wonderful stories about people all over the world encountering Christ through dreams, angelic visitations, and other extraordinary ways. The fact remains, however, that the VAST majority of people who come to Christ do so because they were introduced to Him by another believer. People can't respond to the Good News until they hear it, and it's our job to make sure they hear it!

We can learn a lot from the early preachers of the Gospel. There is more to their success than just being filled with the Holy Spirit; more to it than knowing Jesus, even. We need to take the time to see what they prayed about, and explore what God has said to us about being ready and qualified to preach the good news!

It's a good time of year to think about freedom. Liberty. Independence. But as believers in Christ, we must focus on what we are freed FOR, not just what we are freed FROM. And those things are often at odds with western society's notion of freedom. Let's take a look at what freedom means in the context of the great commission!

There are hundreds -perhaps thousands- of outreach programs and evangelistic strategies to help us reach the lost. But there is no more effective evangelist than men and women who simply know their Lord. What we must do, once we know Him, know His promises, and know His commands, is PREACH! It's not enough to know; you have to let people know you know!
