God Is Our Healer And Much More – Part II

[Dr. Dorothy E. Hooks, PsyD]

Rise up today, and begin walking in your authority. You are already healed from every sickness, disease, plague and bondage (fleshly, spiritual, financial, emotional, abuse, etc.). Whatever is trying to come against you, you are more than a conqueror through Christ Jesus; “it” cannot hold you down. Speak the Word of God to “it” and use your authority Jesus gave you in Luke 10:19:

“Behold, I give you the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.” New King James Version

Don’t doubt in your heart!

Remember, sometimes, God takes you THROUGH the valley of the shadow of death and not around it. I know because I have been through the valley of the shadow of death many times but God brought me out every time. Just recently, last week, I went through the valley of the shadow of death. I went to the ER for them to do X-rays on my neck, they end up giving me a very powerful drug mixed with another drug and I almost died. I thank God for my friends who came and picked me up from the hospital and allowed me to spend the night. If I would not have spent the night, I believe it would have been more serious for me because she had to pray for me around 1 or 2 am; that is just how out of my mind I was. I could barely open my eyes and I heard the nurse tell my friend when she picked me up, the medicine they gave me was equivalent to me drinking a case and a half of beer; I knew I was in trouble – God delivered me from drinking years and years ago. I kept praying in my head and quoting scriptures, then my heart started to race and my body begin to tingle (starting with my head) then I got short of breath. But I kept quoting the Word of God (although at times it was hard to focus) in my mind; I eventually woke my friend up and asked her to pray for me. So, I know that God is the only Healer, He is the only Deliver, and can and will bring you out of WHATEVER valley of shadow of death that He allow you to go through.

See, God could have not allowed them to give me that medicine but if I had not went through that, I could not tell you today that He will bring you through the valley of the shadow of death. I could not tell you that God is the only Healer and Deliver.

There are times we are thrown into the fiery furnace like the three Hebrew boys (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego), but God will be in there with us as He was with them (Daniel 3:25; 14-29). God said in Isaiah 43:1, 2, 5a, & 19:

v1”…FEAR NOT, FOR I HAVE REDEEMED YOU; I HAVE CALLED YOU BY YOUR NAME; YOU ARE MINE.

v2”When YOU PASS THROUGH THE WATERS, I WILL BE WITH YOU; and THROUGH THE RIVERS, THEY SHALL NOT OVERFLOW YOU. When YOU WALK THROUGH FIRE, YOU SHALL NOT BE BURNED, NOR SHALL THE FLAME SCORCH YOU;”

v5a”FEAR NOT, FOR I AM WITH YOU;”

v19”Behold, I will do a new thing, now it shall spring forth; shall you not know it? I will even make a road in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.”

So you see, God has everything covered in your life; He knows exactly what you need and when you need it. Nothing surprises God because He already knows what is going to happen in your life before it happens. God already has your escape route plotted out; your steps are ordered by Him. Just follow the steps He has ordered for you and you will come out unharmed. No matter how chaotic your life seems, no matter how out of control things around you seem, God is in TOTAL control. So, trust Him and see won’t He bring you out of “it;” whatever your “it” is.

I don’t want to sound redundant but I feel a strong urge in my spirit to reinforce to you today that God is in TOTAL control of your life. Do not walk in fear! Don’t look at the economy, your paycheck, are to others for your help; look to God your Father who is your only SOURCE. God loves you so much and NO GOOD THING WILL HE WITHHOLD FROM YOU. Give Him your life today, totally, because He can and will bring you out/through whatever you are going through; just give it all to Him. Release everything that is troubling you out of your heart to the Father – your Father, because He cares for you and it is what’s in your heart that matters to Him.

I pray that each person who reads this message for today will allow the Holy Spirit to come into their hearts and clean out fear (which keeps you in bondage) so you can receive from the Father. In Jesus’ Name, Amen

God bless you too Michelle and I know everything is working out for your good as the Bible tells us. I know God and He has not brought us this far to leave us; He said He would never leave us. So, don't look at what you see but look to the eternal, Almighty God who knows what He is doing. Thank you for supporting this web site,
