For Every Miracle, There Must Be a Measure of Faith
by Ernest Angley
August 2009
God hath dealt to every man the measure of faith (Romans 12:3). In preparing for this message, the Lord let me know that He provided a measure of faith for every miracle that took place throughout the Bible; and He provides one for every miracle that is needed today.
God gave Noah and his family a measure of faith, and that measure built the ark. By faith Noah, being warned of God of things not seen as yet, moved with fear, prepared an ark to the saving of his house; by the which he condemned the world, and became heir of the righteousness which is by faith (Hebrews 11:7). Noah had all the knowledge and wisdom that he needed to build an ark through just one measure of faith, and it kept him moving forward. And that’s what kept him and his family separated for 120 years, saith the Lord. They didn’t mingle and mix with their kin, and God wouldn’t allow a baby to be conceived until all the wicked people on the Earth at that time had been destroyed. He wasn’t going to take the chance of there being any contamination on that ark.
The Miracle of Supply
That measure of faith not only kept the Noah family alive, but it also destroyed all depression, oppression and sickness; it even kept the animals well. That measure of faith multiplied the animal feed and the supplies of food for the family. God revealed to me that this was how it happened, and God never lies. Many people don’t realize that Noah and his family were in the ark for over a year. The Bible tells us in Genesis that it rained for forty days and nights, but it was much longer before God allowed Noah to open the ark door.
God anointed and used a bird to alert Noah as to when it was time to come out of the ark. And God allowed him to open the door only when he received the sign that it was time. Also he [Noah] sent forth a dove from him, to see if the waters were abated from off the face of the ground; But the dove found no rest for the sole of her foot, and she returned unto him into the ark, for the waters were on the face of the whole earth: then he put forth his hand, and took her, and pulled her in unto him into the ark. And he stayed yet other seven days; and again he sent forth the dove out of the ark; And the dove came in to him in the evening; and, lo, in her mouth was an olive leaf plucked off: so Noah knew that the waters were abated from off the earth. And he stayed yet other seven days; and sent forth the dove; which returned not again unto him any more. And it came to pass in the six hundredth and first year, in the first month, the first day of the month, the waters were dried up from off the earth: and Noah removed the covering of the ark, and looked, and, behold, the face of the ground was dry (Genesis 8:8-13). The ark had just one window, and it was located up high. God designed it that way on purpose to prevent Noah and his family from seeing the chaos outside as the waters rose and dead bodies floated by.
Trust God’s Way
When God raises a hand of judgment, He means business. The sights during the flood were so awful that He didn’t want the Noah family to see them. The Lord loved this family, and He cradled them in His arms to give them great joy and happiness so they could enjoy the blessings of the Lord. Think how they must have felt as they witnessed the miracle of the meal barrels; the more they fed the animals, the more the feed would increase. There was never any lack.
Did you ever wonder how all those animals were brought on board the ark? The Lord brought them through the Noah family’s faith. They didn’t worry about how God would accomplish such a thing; they left it in God’s hands. God had created the animals, and He had marked the ones He wanted on the ark. Of clean beasts, and of beasts that are not clean, and of fowls, and of every thing that creepeth upon the earth, There went in two and two unto Noah into the ark, the male and the female, as God had commanded Noah (Genesis 7:8,9). The animals no longer felt safe anywhere on the land, and that’s what drew them to the ark.
God can’t move that way with people because they have free choice. The animals and the birds didn’t have free choice; but the people in Noah’s day did, and they chose not to go into the ark. Even after the ark was completed and the people had witnessed the great miracle of the animals, they still didn’t believe there would be a flood because they didn’t have a measure of faith.
You Must Believe
Many people on planet Earth today don’t believe in miracles because they don’t have that measure of faith. They’ve never given their hearts to God to receive it, and only holy people can receive a measure of faith. That’s why so many churches never expect or experience even one miracle; they teach only a social Gospel, and their members don’t have that measure of faith. People in my church have that faith, and it brings us miracles in abundance. We use so many measures of faith that God can do anything! We hate the devil; and the more people I can gather together with that same hate, the more the devil’s power will be weakened. Then the Lord can move in, and the Holy Spirit has all the liberty He needs. We look through eyes of faith and see Jesus saying, Thy faith hath made thee whole (Luke 17:19). We’d be shocked to come to church and not see any miracles.
People are being made whole through this Jesus ministry. They’re being healed of HIV and AIDS, diabetes and other diseases that have no medical cures; and we’re receiving documentation of them. God is re-creating lungs and hearts and delivering lepers. We receive many testimonies from individuals who had cases that were once labeled impossible. Come and see because these miracles are real!
The Harvest Is Waiting
In this last day, God is shaking people just as He said He would. For thus saith the LORD of hosts; Yet once, it is a little while, and I will shake the heavens, and the earth, and the sea, and the dry land; And I will shake all nations, and the desire of all nations shall come: and I will fill this house with glory, saith the LORD of hosts (Haggai 2:6,7). It’s now time for the final shaking before the Bride goes home, and I plan to be somewhere working for the Lord when He returns. Where will you be? We must glean the nations to bring every lost soul into the final harvest. How awful it would be to meet Jesus and hear Him say, Some of the people I called have failed; there are souls that they failed to win.
When I was about eight years old, the Lord carried me into space where I saw a vision with millions of stars. At the time, I didn’t know what it meant or that it even had anything to do with God. But later, the Lord let me know that the stars represented souls and that no human mind would be able to number the souls that would come to Jesus through this worldwide ministry. Now, every time we go to the nations, we bring thousands into the Kingdom.
God’s Great Blessing
To accomplish our mission for the Lord, He blessed this ministry with a marvelous missionary plane. The Lord gave me the vision of a plane many years ago and let me know that one day I would have one. I held on to that vision because He had given me a measure of faith to believe that it would come. When it did, God provided a plane like no other. It’s a Boeing 747, and it has room enough to carry the many workers who travel with me.
The Lord then gave me the name for the plane—Star Triple Seven—because He wanted it to represent the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost. The Lord showed me His Jesus Star going before the plane and promised me that it would always go before us. The Lord even showed me in a vision how to represent His great Star on the plane and in what colors.
The Lord has trained me to notice every detail when He gives me a vision. The devil will try, but God will not allow him to completely duplicate one of His visions. The devil’s counterfeit will never be exactly the same, so it’s important to take note of every aspect. If the vision contains furniture, notice even the upholstery and its colors; study any draperies, and count the windows and doors. If you remain true to God, you’ll walk right back into that vision one day in living reality. I’ve walked back into so many visions that the Lord has previously given me.
Use Your Faith
It’s taken years for the Lord to gather together people whom He can use, and He has given every one of His children a measure of faith. As we use that measure of faith, it does the work; and we can have any miracle we need. Don’t pray, “God, give me faith.” Instead say, “Lord, help me to use the measure of faith you gave me when I went to Calvary and gave my heart to you.”
Everyone who goes to Calvary and surrenders completely to the Lord so He can wash away all their sins will become holy. Then the Lord fills them up, and they leave Calvary with a big measure of faith that will move mountains. You just have to fast, pray and live in the Scriptures to be able to use that faith. Total dedication to the Lord brings the miracle power, and it’s amazing to witness His miracle greatness!
If you have your measure of faith, the Lord will anoint you to use it; and regardless of what’s wrong with you, you can have any great miracle that you need. People come from all over the world to attend my services, and millions more can tune into my television program every week. A husband and wife from India saw me on television and traveled all the way to Akron, Ohio to receive a miracle. The doctor had told them that their baby would be born deformed, but they came for the Lord to make the correction. I believe with all my heart that when I see that baby, it will be normal. I’ve prayed for pregnant women whose babies were turned the wrong way, and the Lord changed their positions right in the wombs. God is good, and He’s ready to work miracles. That faith that moves mountains will move any kind of mountain for you.
Enoch Used His Faith
Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths (Proverbs 3:5,6). Enoch had a great measure of faith, and he trusted God. He was so much like the first Adam that the Lord would come down to fellowship with him. Other members of his family didn’t have that same measure of faith; but Enoch had accepted his measure, and he used it. The Bible says, Enoch walked with God (Genesis 5:24).
The Bible also tells us, By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God (Hebrews 11:5). Just as God translated Enoch and took him home, we also have that measure of faith that will take us to Rapture ground and cause us to be changed. In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed (I Corinthians 15:52). It will all be done through the power of the Holy Ghost.
Faith will give you the courage to trample the devil underfoot. Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you (Luke 10:19). It will give you power to cast out devils. And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils (Mark 16:17). That measure of faith is a part of Heaven. It’s not human faith; it’s divine, and it has all the power of Heaven.
Faith Revealed in the Old Testament
God let me know that Abel had that measure of faith; but unfortunately, his brother didn’t. By faith Abel offered unto God a more excellent sacrifice than Cain, by which he obtained witness that he was righteous, God testifying of his gifts: and by it he being dead yet speaketh (Hebrews 11:4).
Abraham had that measure of faith. By faith Abraham, when he was called to go out into a place which he should after receive for an inheritance, obeyed; and he went out, not knowing whither he went. By faith he sojourned in the land of promise, as in a strange country, dwelling in tabernacles with Isaac and Jacob, the heirs with him of the same promise: For he looked for a city which hath foundations, whose builder and maker is God (Hebrews 11:8-10).
Joseph had that measure of faith. By faith Joseph, when he died, made mention of the departing of the children of Israel; and gave commandment concerning his bones (Hebrews 11:22).
Joshua had that measure of faith, and the walls came tumbling down. By faith the walls of Jericho fell down, after they were compassed about seven days (Hebrews 11:30).
Moses’ Faith Brought the Israelites Out
Moses had that measure of faith. By faith Moses, when he was come to years, refused to be called the son of Pharaoh’s daughter; Choosing rather to suffer affliction with the people of God, than to enjoy the pleasures of sin for a season; Esteeming the reproach of Christ greater riches than the treasures in Egypt: for he had respect unto the recompence of the reward. By faith he forsook Egypt, not fearing the wrath of the king: for he endured, as seeing him who is invisible (Hebrews 11:24-27).
Moses’ measure of faith separated the waters of the Red Sea. The enemy didn’t think such an amazing thing could happen because they worshiped idol gods and had no faith. By faith they [the Israelites] passed through the Red sea as by dry land (Hebrews 11:29).
Moses had a difficult time bringing the Israelites out of Egypt because they didn’t have a measure of faith, and many nations are like that today; as a whole, they don’t have that measure of faith. They don’t realize that divine faith is worth more than silver and gold; although for over 6000 years, it’s been proven that divine faith changes things.
Moses didn’t give up on Israel and kept working with them; but when they got to the Red Sea and saw Pharaoh’s army coming after them, they were paralyzed with fear. They had no faith. And when Pharaoh drew nigh, the children of Israel lifted up their eyes, and, behold, the Egyptians marched after them; and they were sore afraid: and the children of Israel cried out unto the LORD. And they said unto Moses, Because there were no graves in Egypt, hast thou taken us away to die in the wilderness? wherefore hast thou dealt thus with us, to carry us forth out of Egypt? Is not this the word that we did tell thee in Egypt, saying, Let us alone, that we may serve the Egyptians? For it had been better for us to serve the Egyptians, than that we should die in the wilderness. And Moses said unto the people, Fear ye not, stand still, and see the salvation of the LORD, which he will shew to you today: for the Egyptians whom ye have seen today, ye shall see them again no more for ever (Exodus 14:10-13).
Delivering Faith
The hand of God held the waters back for the Israelites, but then He allowed them to close in on the devil’s army and drown them all. And the Egyptians pursued, and went in after them to the midst of the sea, even all Pharaoh’s horses, his chariots, and his horsemen. And it came to pass, that in the morning watch the LORD looked unto the host of the Egyptians through the pillar of fire and of the cloud, and troubled the host of the Egyptians, And took off their chariot wheels, that they drave them heavily: so that the Egyptians said, Let us flee from the face of Israel; for the LORD fighteth for them against the Egyptians. And the LORD said unto Moses, Stretch out thine hand over the sea, that the waters may come again upon the Egyptians, upon their chariots, and upon their horsemen. And Moses stretched forth his hand over the sea, and the sea returned to his strength when the morning appeared; and the Egyptians fled against it; and the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea. And the waters returned, and covered the chariots, and the horsemen, and all the host of Pharaoh that came into the sea after them; there remained not so much as one of them (Exodus 14:23-28).
The Israelites were given a measure of faith at the beginning of their journey, and the Lord made a covenant of physical healing with them. I am the LORD that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26). He healed them all even before the journey began. He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes (Psalm 105:37). The Red Sea was a type and shadow of our great salvation to come. The love of God flowed at Golgotha to destroy all that would hinder us from coming out from the powers of the devil. It’s sad that the Israelites didn’t hold onto and use that faith.
Faith Brought Miracles
With the measure of faith, you can walk unafraid. Use that faith, and it will cast out all fear. There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear (I John 4:18). This faith is one of love, peace and power from On High. It’s the same faith that Jesus used; and when He spoke, the work was always done.
Jesus spoke to the blind, and they received their sight. In the Bible, you can read about Jesus praying for a man who was born blind. And as Jesus passed by, he saw a man which was blind from his birth…he spat on the ground, and made clay of the spittle, and he anointed the eyes of the blind man with the clay, And said unto him, Go, wash in the pool of Siloam, (which is by interpretation, Sent.) He went his way therefore, and washed, and came seeing (John 9:1,6,7).
The woman with the issue of blood had spent all she had trying to find relief from a disease that had no cure; but the Lord gave her that measure of faith, and she used it in a way that most people never had. She said, If I may but touch his garment, I shall be whole (Matthew 9:21). That measure of faith gave her divine hope which turned into divine faith that she could use. She knew that if she could just touch Him, everything would be all right.
I’m sure others in that crowd had touched Jesus, but nothing happened to them. Many people today think they’re touching Jesus, but they don’t touch Him with faith. Only when you touch Him with faith will you get results.
After the woman had touched Jesus, He quickly turned and said, Who touched my clothes? And his disciples said unto him, Thou seest the multitude thronging thee, and sayest thou, Who touched me (Mark 5:30,31)? But Jesus knew that virtue had gone out of Him, and He knew that someone had received a miracle. And he [Jesus] looked round about to see her that had done this thing. But the woman fearing and trembling, knowing what was done in her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. And he said unto her, Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole; go in peace, and be whole of thy plague (Mark 5:32-34). Thank God that she had become a daughter of the Lord, and the walls came tumbling down for her. When Jesus was here, people saw the miracles; and that’s when they saw the glory. Many believed in his name, when they saw the miracles which he did (John 2:23).
Later, we see multitudes using their faith just as the woman with the issue of blood had. They brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the shadow of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them (Acts 5:15). When Peter’s shadow came over them, the people were made well. But it wasn’t the shadow that healed them; it was their measure of faith that brought it about.
Man Destroyed His Faith
Jesus proved that He was the Creator. He was there when God and the Holy Ghost created the first man and woman. The Father said to the Son and the Holy Spirit, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness…So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them (Genesis 1:26,27). God never intended for man to sin. Man wasn’t created with tear ducts because he was never supposed to cry; he had no septic system on the inside because he wasn’t designed to have to use the bathroom. All of that came with the curse; man brought it upon himself. It’s terrible that Adam and Eve threw their measure of faith away, and we don’t have any record that they ever got it back.
Man was never to have died, and imagine what it must have been like when Adam and Eve looked at the body of their dead son. They had never experienced death before, and how it must have grieved them; but their sin was the reason it happened. You can’t have a measure of divine faith as long as there is one willful sin in your heart; it’s impossible.
Man was instructed, But of the fruit of the tree which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it, neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die (Genesis 3:3). Sin brings death was the message in Eden, and that same message is repeated throughout every book of the Bible. But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death (Revelation 21:8).
The Power of Divine Faith
Some of you may be hemmed in today and can’t find your way out. Your valley may be physical, financial or spiritual; but it doesn’t matter. Accepting and using that measure of faith is a must because without it, there are no miracles for you. You’ll count yourself out rather than in.
When God gives you a measure of faith, use all of it; and He’ll give you another measure and another measure. The Lord has given me many measures, and that’s why I get such great results through Him. I’m not the healer; He is. I don’t have any ego about God’s miracles; I heap all the glory upon Him.
The angel of the Lord stands by my side as tall as a man in every miracle service, and I see the glory of God. He directs me and tells me about people. He’ll even come to me before a service and tell me what’s going to happen, particularly when I’m overseas. He’ll warn me about how the devil plans to move and the disruptions that he plans to cause. Then during the service, the Lord will bring in multitudes of angels to hold the demons back and destroy the devil’s plan.
I’ve seen the pillar of the fire of the Holy Ghost roll in and spin around; and I’ve seen it unroll and cover the whole sky as thousands are saved, healed, delivered and filled with the good Holy Ghost. God said that He would rain His power down and that it would flow through us like mighty rivers of love and grace to deliver people from all kinds of diseases and deformities. He that believeth on me, as the scripture hath said, out of his belly shall flow rivers of living water (John 7:38).
Live Free from Sin
What a wonderful God we have who shares His great faith with us, the same faith that He used to speak the universe into existence. He is Lord God Almighty! But many preachers today teach that the days of miracles are over. Why?—Because although they declare that they have a measure of faith, they don’t really have one. They dispute God’s Word, and they will never have a measure of His faith until they become holy.
Many of those same preachers teach that no one can live free from sin; but if that statement were true, then there would be no one in Heaven because sin can’t enter Heaven. However, many people are there, and many more will join them because there are still people on this Earth today who are living free from sin. Wherever I go, I teach people and give them books confirming that the soul that sinneth, it shall die (Ezekiel 18:20). In the nations I’ve traveled to, there are many ministers who have never been taught to live free from sin; and they’ve tried to mix the Gospel with voodoo and witchcraft. But I let them know that they must live holy and accept only God’s holy Word.
One preacher I encountered kept another woman secretly on the side, and the Lord showed me this man’s whore in a vision. When I let him know what the Lord had revealed, it shook him to pieces. He promised that he would give her up, get right with God and really serve Him if I would return the next year. But he didn’t really mean it. He wore expensive clothing and drove a nice car when many of the other preachers and parishioners couldn’t even afford a bicycle. God had had enough of his sin and uncovered him.
Water Baptism Isn’t Enough
Many people think being baptized in water is all they need to do to make it to Heaven, but that’s just an act representing a clear conscience before God. It doesn’t change the heart. People will have their babies baptized, but that doesn’t guarantee them anything. Children should be baptized in water only after they’re old enough to know right from wrong, sin from righteousness, and understand what they’re doing. Parents must have the faith to really believe in a true born-again experience, and they must realize that children have to come of age and be able to separate good from evil in order to receive the Lord’s salvation.
It’s a waste of time to baptize babies, but you should dedicate them to the Lord and ask Him to watch over them and keep them well. Ask the Lord to let His guardian angels be with them because the Bible tells us that each child has one. Take heed that ye despise not one of these little ones; for I say unto you, That in heaven their angels do always behold the face of my Father which is in heaven (Matthew 18:10). If people would believe this and teach it to their children, that guardian angel would be there.
I grew up in the kind of home where I was taught about that guardian angel, and it kept me from doing things that I might otherwise have done. There were things that I would have done, but I never did. Perhaps I would start to steal something, and I would hear a voice say, If you do that, you’ll have to take it back later or pay for it. Of course, I didn’t want to humiliate myself and do that, so I’d get away from the situation. I didn’t think that making restitution would be any fun.
Greater Works
The Lord tells us, Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father (John 14:12). If we’ll believe and use our measure of faith, we’ll not only do the works of Jesus, but we’ll do greater works. We’ll witness mass miracles, deliverances and thousands of people being set free; and we see this happen everywhere we go. The Lord allows me to see devils going out of crowds of people like defeated armies. I’ve even seen the Holy Spirit lead them away; and as far as I know, He dumps them into the pits of hell.
The God of miracles lives, and His power is real! We must believe to see as the Psalmist said: I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the LORD in the land of the living (Psalm 27:13). The Lord could give the Psalmist those glorious Psalms of praise because he believed to see the glory of the Lord.
Jesus told Lazarus’ sister, If you’ll believe, you’ll see the glory. But when He asked for the stone to be rolled away from her brother’s tomb, she said, Lord, by this time he stinketh: for he hath been dead four days. Jesus saith unto her, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God (John 11:39,40)? God doesn’t want to hear your doubt; He wants to show you His glory. Then they took away the stone from the place where the dead was laid. And Jesus lifted up his eyes, and said, Father, I thank thee that thou hast heard me. And I knew that thou hearest me always: but because of the people which stand by I said it, that they may believe that thou hast sent me. And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came forth (John 11:41-44).
We’ve prayed for people who have come back to life after they have died, and it’s been verified by medical officials. We prayed, and God gave life. He said, For I am the LORD: I will speak, and the word that I shall speak shall come to pass (Ezekiel 12:25). We must have a measure of faith that believes every word of that.
Faith Destroys the Devil’s Power
Are you using that measure of faith to believe to see the glory, or do you look at what the devil is doing and get depressed? Jesus came and destroyed those spirits for us; He delivered those who were oppressed and possessed. God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him (Acts 10:38).
A Christian can’t be devil possessed, but a Christian can be devil oppressed; and there’s a big difference. The devil can get into a child of God with mind battles, and he’ll wear them down if they let him. Discouragement is one of the devil’s greatest tools; and when you’re discouraged, you’re not going to use the measure of faith, saith the Lord. The Lord wants me to stress that for every single miracle there must be a measure of faith, and don’t forget it!
Everyone is also given an opportunity for salvation if they’ll accept it. Salvation makes divinity available to you, and it’s only through divinity that you can be saved. The plan of redemption is miraculous, and it’s wonderful that we can be set apart from the world. The Bible says, Love not the world, neither the things that are in the world. If any man love the world, the love of the Father is not in him (I John 2:15). We’re a called-out people from a called-out people, and we must come out of the world! We must receive the Holy Ghost; and we must believe in signs, wonders and miracles because we believe in God. We have to tell the world about this!
Miracle Faith
When we have our measure of divine faith and salvation from the Lord, then our human faith is sanctified and holy; and when we put the two together, we have nothing to fear and nothing to worry about.
Do you have the measure of faith? It’s healing faith. When you feel a pain, use that measure of faith. Don’t wait until you get down; meet the condition of the promise that faith in God heals the sick, and it will work.
God has given me the faith to use the blood as the cure for sicknesses and diseases that medical science doesn’t have the answer for. Doctors can’t create and re-create; but when I pray for people, the Lord creates bones, muscles, nerves and other parts of the body. I’ve seen it many times, and it amazes doctors. I see the glory; and in His glory, there are miracles in abundance.
You who are sick and afflicted, get ready for your miracle. Even if you or your children have AIDS, you can all be healed. Lord, I’m agreeing with the people that you’ll perform mighty miracles as I use this great measure of divine faith. It’s the same faith that your Son had when He was here. Heal in the all-powerful, blood-name of Jesus! Deliver them, Jesus!
Live Holy
And now you must live for God. We have record of the Lord healing sinners more than once in the Holy Scriptures; but He told them, Thou art made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come unto thee (John 5:14). One woman came to me with a hopeless condition of arthritis. She couldn’t even comb her own hair, but God instantly made her whole all over.
A year or two later, I went back to that same area where she lived; and she was back in that awful, afflicted condition. She said, “Brother Angley, you said that if we didn’t serve God our afflictions would come back on us. I didn’t believe it; but I failed God and backslid, and that’s why I’m in this shape again.” I didn’t know whether God would be merciful to her a second time or not; but she humbled herself before her great Maker, and the Lord made her whole again. She lived for the Lord for many years after that, and now she’s in Heaven today.
Jesus told us to believe to see the glory; if you don’t believe, you’ll see only the devil’s works. You may feel God’s power working in your body; but if you don’t believe, your sicknesses and diseases will remain. If you want to receive and keep your miracle, you have to serve the Lord.
Come to Jesus
If you’re committing any willful sin, you’re not saved; and if you think you’re a saved sinner, you’re deceived. Say this prayer with me: Oh, God, I’m so sorry that I’ve sinned against you. But I’ve come home, and I surrender all to you. Take all of the devils out of me—demons of alcohol, drugs, violence and lust—take them all away in the blood-name of Jesus. I believe that Jesus will come into my heart right now and that through His shed blood I will be delivered and set free from all of my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in!
If you meant that prayer, He is yours. Thank God that you now have your passport to Heaven, and don’t ever lose it! Spend time in prayer, fasting and living in the Word. Live free from all sin, and one day you’ll go sweeping through the gates of Heaven and into the greatness of Lord God Almighty. Thank God forevermore!
