When Heaven Invades Earth.......

       A book that completely changed my views on the Lord and healing is "When Heaven Invades Earth" by Bill Johnson. I would encourage each one of you to read it if you have not already. It will most definitely challenge your faith and increase your faith in regards to praying for healing.

      Some of Bill Johnson's points from the book that stuck out the most to me:

"If people are not being healed, I will not supply a rationale so that all those around me remain comfortable with the void. Instead, I will pursue the healing until it comes or the individual goes to be with the Lord. I WILL NOT LOWER THE STANDARD OF THE BIBLE TO MY LEVEL OF EXPERIENCE."

"Jesus healed EVERYONE who came to Him."

"The ministry of signs and wonders will go nowhere if we are afraid of failing."

"If we teach and preach and nothing happens, we go to our KNEES. Don't make excuses for God's powerlessness. For decades, the church has been guilty of creating doctrine to justify their lack of power, instead of CRYING OUT to God to change them. This lie has given rise to an entire BRANCH OF THEOLOGY which has infected the Body of Christ with a FEAR OF THE HOLY SPIRIT. The word must go forth with power."

"The Supernatural is HIS natural realm. Jesus was an EXACT representation of the Father's nature."

"Signs and wonders remove the MIDDLE GROUND. People must make a decision as if they believe in them or if they don't."

"The testimony of God creates an APPETITE for more activities of God. Expectation grows when people are aware of His supernatural nature."

"Getting us into heaven is not near as great a challenge as it is to get heaven INTO US. This is accomplished through the fullness of the Spirit in us."
