One touch from Jesus and all that hinders you will be removed. When Jesus healed the leper in Matthew 8, through that one touch he was cleansed, healed and restored; that one touch removed the stigma and shame of his condition. That one touch brought emotional and physical healing. When Jesus healed the blind man in John 9 with one touch his testimony of "once I was blind but now I can see", changed not only his life, but all those around him.

Jesus has power, not just in heaven but on earth. Why do I pray every day? Why do I pray so much? Because God is listening. He hears. He answers. Do you realise how much God loves you? Jesus said to the paralytic, "So that you may know I am the Son of God - that I am not lying or deceiving you; so that you may know the reality and truth of who I am - get up and walk!" God has given us this same power through the Holy Spirit. 'Fire of Revival' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Jesus has forgiven every sin: the sins of the past, the sins of today, and the sins of tomorrow. That is the miracle. No wonder Jesus said to the man sick of the palsy, 'Rejoice, your sins are forgiven!' We all have a reason to rejoice: we are forgiven and redeemed; set free from the curse of sin. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. 'Happy Song' & 'Holy is the Lamb' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

There is a very narrow gap between life and death; the difference between the two is so small. The Bible says that we walk through the valley of the shadow of death: in life we walk through death, in death we experience life. How do we experience this life? Jesus said He is the resurrection and the life, whoever believes in Him, though he is dead, yet shall he live. 'All will be well' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

God identifies with you. The Scripture speaks about taking up your cross and following Jesus - the cross is not just us identifying with Him, but Jesus identifying with us. When I was in prison for Bible smuggling, I felt so abandoned by God. In the Lord's Prayer it says, 'Who is in heaven...', I argued, "You are in heaven, but I am in a stinking filthy cell, don't You understand?" Then God reminded me of the truth: He sent His Son to die a criminal's death. Jesus understood my pain - He identified with my suffering.  'How great Your love' by www.vinesong.com

There comes a time in all our lives when heaven feels shut. We've prayed for deliverance, but the situation never improves, or worse, if there is an answer, God says 'no'. How do we pray in these situations? It is in these times we realise the truth contained in the Lord's Prayer - He does understand, He does care, He's our Father.  'You answered me' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Through Christ we have received an inheritance; we have obtained this because Jesus died and rose again. What does this mean? It means you can receive the forgiveness of sin; that the curse and the power of the devil is broken; your healing, is part of this inheritance; all the promises in the Bible are part of the inheritance you have received from Jesus. You have been blessed with every spiritual blessing, all because of this inheritance. 'To God be the glory' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Christ has conquered the last enemy, He is the firstfruit of all who believed. This is why we can rejoice and be of good cheer: death and the grave are conquered, our hope is secure in Christ; there is no need to worry about whatever may come, through Christ we are victorious.

God desires to reveal His glory here on earth. It doesn't matter whether you are in a prison cell or in a hospital ward, as you begin to worship the Lord His glory will fill the room as He inhabits your praises. 'And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be His people, and God Himself will be with them as their God"' (Revelation 21:3). 'Matthew 24 & He shall reign' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

Why is God going to answer your prayer this time? Why is it going to be different? I've known Jesus a long time, and I know from long experience that He cannot fail. Like the blind man in the Bible who cried out, Jesus will help you, when you call in faith. I urge you to trust Him. 'And He said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for My strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me' (2 Corinthians 12.9, KJV). 'Holy You are Lord' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

When you are in distress; when nobody will help you; when you have nowhere to go; if you will call upon the Name of the Lord, He will help you. All it takes is faith as small as a mustard seed to move mountains. You don't need to go to a pastor, prophet or teacher - some person of great renown and faith - you have have enough faith to be saved, healed and delivered.

God can literally change your life today! I believe that as you are listening to this, you are being transformed, just as God has changed me. The Bible teaches that we are being changed from glory to glory... for those God foreknew He also predestined to be conformed to the image of His Son (2 Corinthians 3:18; Romans 8:29).  'Let Your living water flow' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

"Get up and live!" - Jesus says to you as he said to Jairus' daughter, "Get up". Arise from your depression. Arise from your sickness. Arise from your fears. "Don't be afraid; only believe."  'Let Your living water flow' used by kind permission www.vinesong.com

"Jesus, help me!" - God hears the cries of the desperate and anguished. So many people are in the same position as Jairus, "Jesus, it's too late; my daughter has died," But it is never too late with Jesus. No situation is too far gone; no person too lost, that the power of God cannot reach and save. 'Another Touch' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

We have a powerful God; a God who does the impossible. In Mark 5, Jairus fell at the feet of Jesus, pleading for Him to heal his daughter. Jairus came looking for a healing, but Jesus had in mind something greater: He was going to do the impossible. 'Faith' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

God loves you! He's a God of forgiveness. He doesn't just have the power to change your life for the better, but He has the desire to help you. When Jesus was asked by the leper, "Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean", Jesus responded, "I am willing, be clean."  'Rock of Ages' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

"Lord, don't You care about us?" The disciples were just like us: facing a life-threatening storm, they did the right thing, they went straight to Jesus, but the problem was, Jesus was asleep! Yet God does care! He knows your circumstances. He's acquainted with all your ways. God is concerned enough to change it. You are fully known and loved by God.

We need to give thanks to God for all His blessings. When you meditate on all that the Lord has done, you will be filled with gratitude and joy. Just as the woman poured out her jar of perfume over Jesus, so we too must pour out our praise on Him like oil. It's so easy to lose sight of the blessings in our lives until we become consumed by our problems. Let the light of joy fill your heart as you meditate on every blessing.  'I behold Your Glory' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

The same Power which raised Christ from the dead lives on the inside of you! The Power of God doesn't dwell in temples, churches or other 'holy' sites; the Power of God dwells with us; all the Power of God is literally within you! 'Oh what a miracle' used by kind permission of www.vinesong.com

The unknown God, the God we don't know, He is the living God: as the Apostle Paul taught, in Him we live and move and have our being. Even though we don't know Him, we ourselves are fully known by Him. We are His children; His breath fills our lungs; we are made in His image.
