The promises of God are worth more than all the silver and gold on the planet; they are as sure as God Himself. While people are clamoring for the world’s riches, the children of God are reaching for God’s promises. Money will not save a soul, nor will silver and gold heal a sick body or perform a miracle of creation or re-creation. God creates and re-creates only through divine blood-faith. Silver and gold can’t buy a passport to heaven or joy unspeakable and full of glory. All the wealth in the world will never buy the faith, divine hope, and love of God.

There are many, many promises given in the Word of God, and we must live by them. Those promises are coming to us on wings of grace and love through the power of the Holy Ghost. Great bundles are there for us to use; they include promises to supply all our needs and promises we can use to supply the Lord’s needs as well. The Lord needs His people in this final hour, and He will fulfill His promises to give them the strength and grace they need to do His work. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance (II Peter 3:9). The Lord is not negligent to fulfill His promises.

Claim the Promises

It would be good to remember a little chorus:
Every promise in the Book is mine,
Every chapter, every verse, every line.
And I’m living in His love divine,
Every promise in the Book is mine.

When you live in love divine, you qualify to meet the condition of each promise. The promises are not yours until you meet their conditions.

In Malachi we read a financial promise of the Lord: Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it (Malachi 3:10). Notice the condition:If you tithe and give to Him, the Lord has promised to open the windows of heaven for you.

In the same day the LORD made a covenant with Abram, saying, Unto thy seed have I given this land, from the river of Egypt unto the great river, the river Euphrates (Genesis 15:18). The Lord told the Israelites that all the land was theirs, but they had to put their foot on it and claim the promise. God’s promises are ours, but we have to put our foot on each one.

If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins, and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness (I John 1:9). This is the promise of all promises, but this promise took the whole heart of God—Jesus. Remember, the prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Jesus said unto him, If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth (Mark 9:23). Take another look at Jesus, you who are sick and afflicted. Remember, when God gave you Jesus on Calvary, He gave you His whole heart. Since He gave such a great treasure, you know He is ready to heal you, deliver you and set you free. Jesus has promised that all things are possible to those that believe.

Leave No Room for Doubt

Then said the LORD unto me, Thou hast well seen: for I will hasten my word to perform it (Jeremiah 1:12). God will and does hasten to perform His promises; He moves fast for us again and again. But in faith you must hold onto a promise through the power of the Lord. Never let go.

The Lord has promised healing for soul, mind and body. God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (I Corinthians 1:9). God is faithful. I turn that statement over and over in my mind because it leaves no room for doubt. God will keep His promises, and He has promised to stand by you. His promises are true.

The Way of the Lord Is Perfect

God doesn’t always work the way people think He should; but when you want the divine will of God for your life, the promise will work God’s way. It takes living close to God to want His divine will in everything. This means you need more than human humility; you must have the divine humility that Jesus brought. Bow low to the will of God in the same humility that Jesus had when He cried in the Garden of Gethsemane, Father, if thou be willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done (Luke 22:42).

You have to bend low to be able to say, Lord, your will be done. In divine humility know that as for God, his way is perfect: the word of the LORD is tried: he is a buckler to all those that trust in him (Psalm 18:30).

Always bow to the will of God no matter what comes your way. In my life, the Lord knows that all He has to do is reveal what He wants, and I will do it no matter how I feel. I never consider my feelings when it comes to the will of God.

I Seek Only God’s Divine Will

When I lost my lovely wife, Angel, I felt as though I couldn’t live without her. She had been gone only a few weeks; and as I was holding her Bible, I opened it to the fly leaf. There, to my surprise, she had left me a message: The way of the Lord is perfect. I could just hear her saying those words in her sweet voice: Honey, you can never find any fault in His ways. She believed that with all her heart because she had that kind of faith, and her inscription greatly moved me.

Losing someone you love so much that you don’t think you can go on breathing without them throws you into an unbearable nightmare. I almost hemorrhaged to death, but the Lord helped me. I bowed to His will, and He moved in so close to me. I was in a million pieces, and only God could have put me back together; but He did just that, and He made me stronger and more determined than before.

Angel and I told God again and again: God, we never want your permissible will but only your divine will. Today, I still want only God’s divine will and nothing less. I never consider how much it hurts or what I have to go through. I never ask God what price the victory will cost. Whatever it is, I will pay with the help of His grace. Lord, your grace is sufficient.

We Can Have Marvelous Fellowship

Let’s look at this scripture again: God is faithful, by whom ye were called unto the fellowship of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord (I Corinthians 1:9). We’ve been called into the same fellowship that God the Father had with Jesus when his son was here on earth; we can have the same direct contact with the Lord.

The Father and Son were very close, but we have been made nigh in that same fellowship. Through the blood of Jesus we are told to come boldly unto the throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy, and find grace to help in time of need (Hebrews 4:16). The blood has made it possible for us to come before God’s throne of grace while we are still here on earth.

Jesus Tore Down the Wall

God gives grace to help us in time of need. When Jesus came, He tore down the wall of partition between mankind and the Father. Jesus broke down the barrier between us and the greatness of heaven. For he is our peace, who hath made both one, and hath broken down the middle wall of partition between us (Ephesians 2:14).

Remember that when you pray, you are before the throne of grace; so come boldly to the throne. The blood has made you so nigh that you can start to make a step here on earth, and the next step could be on Glory’s shore. Heaven is just that close!

Angels Work among Us

The Lord stands ready to help us accept His promises, and angels come down to surround us and give us help, too. But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool? Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation (Hebrews 1:13,14)?

God is so close to us that angels work in my services. I never pray for the sick without the angel of the Lord being by my side, and I don’t know when I have ever preached a sermon without the angel of the Lord being on the platform.

It’s amazing all the strength that the Lord gives me, and the greatness of the power that flows from the angel of the Lord is wonderful. The Lord told me that the angel just turns from God the Father and speaks to me. I never get used to the greatness and power of God and all the wisdom, knowledge, strength, hope and love that He has for His children.

The Gifts of the Holy Spirit

The Lord is longsuffering, kind, gentle and good to His people. He makes the nine fruits of the Holy Spirit available to all who are born again. He doesn’t, however, give the nine gifts of the Spirit to everyone, but only to certain people He chooses; and they’re given them only to further the cause of Christ.

Regarding the gifts of the Holy Spirit, Paul writes, Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will (I Corinthians 12:4-11). How blessed we are!

The Promises of the Beatitudes

The Beatitudes that Jesus gave are great promises: And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying, Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted. Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth.

Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled.

Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy. Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God.

Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God. Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.

Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you falsely, for my sake. Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets which were before you (Matthew 5:2-12).

Many have never stopped to think what divine promises the Beatitudes are to the children of God. Any time you feel as though the devil is trying to make you doubt a promise of God, just turn to the Beatitudes and read them aloud; then judge whether or not you believe them. Jesus spoke them, so of course you believe—if you believe all His promises.

God Serves Only Faith

The divine faith of God is so simple that even a child can use it. God has faith to serve, and He freely gives it. He always serves faith with no doubt. He’ll give you faith if you ask for it just as He promised. Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you (Matthew 7:7). If you seek His greatness, you will find it; and His door will open if you knock. Don’t make it hard. Jesus came to make it simple saying, Be not afraid, only believe (Mark 5:36).

Believing was difficult for man outside of Eden when there was no Savior. The stench of the animal blood from the sacrifices was never pleasing to God. In burnt offerings and sacrifices for sin thou hast had no pleasure (Hebrews 10:6). Although God hated those sacrifices, they were the best that could be done at the time.

Wait on God His Way

Learn to wait upon the Lord in His will, nothing doubting. But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint (Isaiah 40:31). Stay in God’s waiting room and in His divine will. Don’t use human hope, but use God’s divine hope, divine faith, divine love and divine promises. All of God’s promises are divinely supported by heaven one hundred percent.

God doesn’t tell you that you need to have others around for Him to bring about any promise He has made to you. Remember that when you went to Calvary, you didn’t need another human soul. The greatest experience of your whole life was about to take place; the greatest promise ever made to you was ready to be fulfilled: salvation for your soul.

Jesus’ Incredible Salvation

The unbelievable promise of salvation is one that you will never be able to fully understand this side of heaven. Even the angels have desired to look into this promise because, since they have never needed it, they don’t understand it. Of which salvation the prophets have inquired and searched diligently, who prophesied of the grace that should come unto you: Searching what, or what manner of time the Spirit of Christ which was in them did signify, when it testified beforehand the sufferings of Christ, and the glory that should follow. Unto whom it was revealed, that not unto themselves, but unto us they did minister the things, which are now reported unto you by them that have preached the gospel unto you with the Holy Ghost sent down from heaven; which things the angels desire to look into (I Peter 1:10-12).

The Prophets of old desired to see many things that we are seeing today. They believed in the promises; they saw the types and shadows of them. But now, we are witnessing all the promises of God in living reality! Not one type or one shadow stands between us and the fulfillment of a promise.

We have so much available to us, but how many take the time to study and understand what we have? We know what we have in our bank accounts, but what do we know about the promises of God? Do we value them? How many times have you cried your heart out all night because you didn’t stop to consider the promises you had? There is a promise to cover every need—physically, spiritually and financially.

Be on Duty for the Lord

In the Garden of Gethsemane, Jesus’ disciples were ready to sleep instead of pray. No doubt, we have been guilty of that, too. How sad to go to sleep when the Lord wants you to stay awake and pray. I’ve always tried to be ready to pray when the Lord wakes me up in the night. I may walk the floor for a while, but I’m ready because the Lord hath need of me. Either someone is in need of prayer, or the Lord wants to tell me something that I need to hear.

Oh, Bride of Christ, listen to what the Lord has to say; be on duty any time of the day or night in this final hour, waiting for heaven’s call. Souls are perishing, and we must get to them before it’s too late. Some have no one else to pray for them, and the Lord may be calling on you to help a desperate person who is about to drop into hell.

A Book of Understanding

Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word (Psalm 119:65). God always deals with us according to His Word. People say they don’t understand God, but He gave us a Book to help us understand His ways; and the Word of God is vital to us.

And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God (Luke 4:4).

But he said, Yea rather, blessed are they that hear the word of God, and keep it (Luke 11:28).

And the word of God increased; and the number of the disciples multiplied in Jerusalem greatly; and a great company of the priests were obedient to the faith (Acts 6:7).

For the word of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart (Hebrews 4:12).

So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God (Romans 10:17).

Called According to His Purpose

And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28). If we’re called according to His purpose, we’re in God’s divine will; and all things will work for our good. The Lord has a purpose for each and every one of us in this final walk.

The Bride is important to heaven. She is moving like a mighty army in the divine will, the divine grace, the divine power and the divine might of the Lord. She is bowing low before the Lord; she has her eyes on Jesus, and her love and trust go to Him. She is wearing His shoes and walking in His steps as the Lord is dealing with her according to His Word.

The New Testament is the will for the Bride in this her final walk. Heaven is delighted as we turn page after page and study the Word with the Holy Spirit as teacher and guide.

God’s Promises Never Fail

For he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee (Hebrews 13:5). Of course, there are many things you won’t understand; but as long as you keep in mind His promise that He will never leave you nor forsake you, and you keep your hands in His, you will be all right. No matter how long the nights seem, the light of heaven and the light of the Godhead are in every promise. Treasure the promises of God!

People fail God’s promises, but His promises never fail God’s devoted people. The promises of God will never fail! But you have to claim them for yourself and use them.

The table of promises is now spread in this world of wilderness, and it’s there for us to use and dine on. God is spreading a table in this hour like He’s never spread before. The greatness of the Jesus we know is available all the time, and He’s saying, Come to my table.

There is a remarkable story in John. Jesus had been crucified and resurrected, and I believe this is His third appearance to some of the disciples; but they don’t know Him at first. He cries, Children, have ye any meat (John 21:5)? They said, “No, we’ve toiled all the night through and caught nothing.” When the need is so great, and the table seems to be so bare, that’s when the Lord performs miracles.

Jesus Is Always Near

The disciples didn’t know where Jesus was, so Peter said, I go a-fishing. They say unto him, We also go with thee (John 21:3). But they didn’t recognize Jesus at first when He called to them. There are many times when we’re in our hour of great need that we don’t recognize Jesus. We don’t realize He’s close by; and even if we hear His voice, we don’t always recognize it. Why?—Because we don’t expect to hear His voice, and we’re not listening for it. However, when you know there’s a human being close by who can help you, you listen for that familiar voice. You know that voice, and you know they have the help that you need at the time.

Learn the voice of Jesus. Expect to hear the voice of the Lord in times of trouble because He promised to always be there, and He said He would supply all of your needs. But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:19).

Every promise that you need is on the Lord’s table, and it’s your business to give your life to Him and let Him serve you. Receive His gift of faith; faith and love are gifts from God, and they will take you to the Lord’s table any time. Whatever you need is within your reach through faith and love. It may be a physical need, a spiritual need or a financial need; but all will be supplied. All of your needs are within reach, and by faith you reach out and put your hand on the promises without any doubt. The Lord puts them on the table, and you serve yourself; that’s faith. The Lord feeds you faith, but He won’t spoon-feed you. You have to reach out and take it. You have to act out what the Lord says to you in His Word, through His promises, or when He speaks to you. The Lord does talk to people today.

Cast Your Net on the Right Side

Jesus told the disciples to cast their net once more. And he said unto them, Cast the net on the right side of the ship, and ye shall find. They cast therefore, and now they were not able to draw it for the multitude of fishes (John 21:6). All you have to do is cast your net in the right place, where the blessings are. The Lord has taught us that His blessings are in obedient waters. For the disciples, the obedient waters were on the right side of the boat; they weren’t on the left side or behind them, but on the right side. And in obedient waters their need would be supplied.

In obedient waters the Lord will supply your need. I’ve seen people come to my services nigh unto death, those whom the doctors have given only a few weeks to live; and the Lord heals them. Thousands have been healed of AIDS through this Jesus ministry, and doctors are verifying it in other nations as well as our own. The Lord is proving that He is God Almighty. Behold, I am the LORD, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me (Jeremiah 32:27)? The Lord wants to prove that He has all power, and He loves you.

Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine (John 21:12). The Spirit is calling to you daily through the voice of the Lord to, Come and dine! And we must heed the call. We need to get this Gospel to the whole world, and we’ll have to do it by presenting a Gospel confirmed with signs, wonders, miracles and healings. But first, we have to serve ourselves the things of God and use them. We must use His miracle power and the power of the Holy Ghost.

Use the Power of the Holy Ghost

The Early Church used the power of the Holy Ghost; everything was the power of the Holy Ghost. Jesus told them, Ye shall receive power, after that the Holy Ghost is come upon you: and ye shall be witnesses unto me both in Jerusalem, and in all Judaea, and in Samaria, and unto the uttermost part of the earth (Acts 1:8). They received that power, and then everything they did was through the power of the Holy Ghost. They used the name of Jesus through the power of the Holy Ghost; they used the Word through the power of the Holy Ghost, and they used the Holy Ghost Himself. They gave themselves completely to Him. Every move was the move of the Spirit; it was a complete takeover, and they evangelized the known world in thirty-three short years. And if they’d continued, the world wouldn’t be in the condition it’s in. But they lost their power by selling out to the world; then they lost their dedication and consecration, and we can’t afford to do that.

Fasting Brings Results

Power from On High is the answer today; and this kind goeth forth by prayer, fasting and living in the Word. Read what the Lord told the disciples when they asked about the miracle power and why they couldn’t heal a man’s son. This kind can come forth by nothing, but by prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29).

Remember, John’s disciples came to Jesus one day and said, Why do we and the Pharisees fast oft, but thy disciples fast not? And Jesus said unto them, Can the children of the bridechamber mourn, as long as the bridegroom is with them? but the days will come, when the bridegroom shall be taken from them, and then shall they fast (Matthew 9:14,15). Jesus said, They’ll fast after I’m gone. The disciples of Jesus fast today, too. It’s hard to tell how many thousands of meals are fasted in my congregation week after week. We let people fast however long they want to fast, but we do encourage them to fast before the good Lord. We love lost souls, the Word of God, and the power of God more than we love to eat. We want to win the lost more than we want to eat. Real Bible fasting is when you fast through the blood, and it means you’re putting God first. When you can put anything ahead of your stomach, then you’ve put it first. It’s wonderful to be able to put God first, and the Lord delights in it.

When you’re fasting, you’re really dining at the Lord’s table. When your soul feels lean on the inside, it will fatten up if you go to the Lord’s table. But beans and potatoes won’t do it; the soul came from God, and it takes the spiritual things of the Lord to feed it.

The Ministry of Christ

The Lord is calling, Come and dine! That’s the ministry of Christ. And this is not an Ernest Angley ministry, but God’s ministry. I carry His name and use it for all the miracles to take place. All the healings are in the name of Jesus, and He gets all the praise. Never praise Ernest Angley, but only his Savior and yours, Jesus Christ, the one who died for all.

Jesus started His ministry with a miracle. There was a marriage in Cana of Galilee; and the mother of Jesus was there: And both Jesus was called, and his disciples, to the marriage. And when they wanted wine, the mother of Jesus saith unto him, They have no wine. Jesus saith unto her, Woman, what have I to do with thee? mine hour is not yet come. His mother saith unto the servants, Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it. And there were set there six waterpots of stone, after the manner of the purifying of the Jews, containing two or three firkins apiece. Jesus saith unto them, Fill the waterpots with water. And they filled them up to the brim. And he saith unto them, Draw out now, and bear unto the governor of the feast. And they bare it. When the ruler of the feast had tasted the water that was made wine, and knew not whence it was: (but the servants which drew the water knew;) the governor of the feast called the bridegroom, And saith unto him, Every man at the beginning doth set forth good wine; and when men have well drunk, then that which is worse: but thou hast kept the good wine until now. This beginning of miracles did Jesus in Cana of Galilee, and manifested forth his glory; and his disciples believed on him (John 2:1-11).

He started His ministry by serving others and spreading a table for them. There was a spiritual famine in the land because the people had turned away from God. It had been prophesied by the prophets of old that He would come, and at last He did. He brought divine blood to give us all the fullness of divine life: divine healing, divine miracles, divine love, divine peace, divine hope, divine strength, divine compassion, divine patience, divine longsuffering, divine goodness, divine forgiveness, divine mercy. Yes, He promised all of that to each one of us, and you can find it on the table of the Lord.

Divine Forgiveness

People will say, “I can’t forgive that person; you don’t know what they did to me!” Think about what you’ve done to Jesus, how you’ve trampled His blood underfoot, yet you wanted Him to forgive you. And Jesus said that if you would forgive your enemies, He would forgive you. And when ye stand praying, forgive, if ye have aught against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses. But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses (Mark 11:25,26).

The Jesus forgiveness is God’s will for you, and it’s on the table all the time. If you’ll use it, you can forgive. I have no trouble forgiving my enemies. Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord (Romans 12:19). All you have to do is say, “God, I’ve turned them over to you, and I know you’ll take care of them. I trust you, Lord. I’m going on to do your work, and you’re going to spread me a table in the presence of my enemies.” Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies (Psalm 23:5).

If you want the score against your enemies to be in your favor, then let the Lord spread you a table daily. They said you were no good and that God wasn’t with you. They said He wouldn’t bless you and that you were going down. But then they look over and see this great table of promises; and the Lord’s table is always full. They can’t understand why the Lord is blessing you. They thought you’d never get to heaven and never be blessed down here just because they didn’t like you. May God shake us up so that we’ll go to the Lord’s table daily!

Miracles Are on the Table

The nobleman’s son was ill, and he rushed to find Jesus. When he got to the table, he found healing for his son. There was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. Then inquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house (John 4:46-53).

In another instance a centurion must have put great value on his servant because he rushed to find the Lord’s table and get a miracle for him. And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there came unto him a centurion, beseeching him, And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy, grievously tormented. And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him. The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be healed. For I am a man under authority, having soldiers under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth; and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my servant, Do this, and he doeth it. When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have not found so great faith, no, not in Israel. And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way; and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame hour (Matthew 8:5-10,13). Isn’t that marvelous!

A woman with an issue of blood left everything behind and went to find the Lord’s table. When she found it, she was healed after twelve long years of suffering. The Bible tells us that she spent all her wealth on earth’s physicians and medicines, but she only got worse instead of better. And a certain woman, which had an issue of blood twelve years, And had suffered many things of many physicians, and had spent all that she had, and was nothing bettered, but rather grew worse, When she had heard of Jesus, came in the press behind, and touched his garment. For she said, If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole. And straightway the fountain of her blood was dried up; and she felt in her body that she was healed of that plague (Mark 5:25-29). The Lord promised healing, and she was made well.

It’s hard to tell how many different times the impotent man had lain by the pool waiting for a miracle. At a certain season an angel would come down and stir up the waters; and it didn’t matter what the affliction or the disease was, the first person who got in was made whole. This was a sign letting people know that the healing Jesus was on His way, and He did come. Jesus said, Wilt thou be made whole? The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked (John 5:6-9). He found the promise on the Lord’s table.

Look to Jesus

If you need Jesus’ help to get you to His table, He’ll help you get there. You don’t need human hands to get you to the Lord’s table or to His promises; just give your heart to Him, and He’ll fulfill your need. Maybe you haven’t walked in years, but the impotent man hadn’t walked in thirty-eight years. He was helpless and on a stretcher; but he got to the table, and the Lord fed him the healing promise and gave him a great miracle. When Jesus told him to get up, he took up his bed and walked, testifying he’d gotten a miracle.

In John’s Gospel you’ll find a man born without sight, but he got to the Lord’s table. He [Jesus] 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 9:6,7).

It pays to let the Lord serve you! You’ll never find His table empty. It’s there through faith and laden with promises. Heaven produces everything that goes on that table, and heaven gives you the faith to reach out and take it.

Maybe you’re in such a condition today that the doctors told you that you would have to live with your disease. That may be true according to medical science but not according to God, I am the LORD that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26); and you’ll find that promise right on His table. You’ll also find, Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and for ever (Hebrews 13:8). Oh, this table of promises is wonderful!

Come and Receive the Light

Zacchaeus, make haste, and come down; for today I must abide at thy house (Luke 19:5). And the Lord spread him a table. He came down fast and said, Half of my goods I give to the poor; and if I have taken any thing from any man by false accusation, I restore him fourfold (Luke 19:8). Jesus was a very busy man, and the multitudes were flocking Him; but He said, I’m going home with you, Zacchaeus. Zacchaeus wanted to get to the table even more than he realized. He thought he would just look at the table, so he climbed a tree; but he had to have faith that there was something to see or he wouldn’t have climbed that tree. When he got a view of the table, he was never the same. I’m sure we’ll see Zacchaeus in heaven one day.

Nicodemus came to find the table of promises at night. He was ashamed to come during the day because he was afraid of persecution. But he came looking for the table, and he found it; but it was a shock when Jesus said, Nicodemus, you must be born again. Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God (John 3:3). Wouldn’t you have liked to have seen Nicodemus’ eyes pop? Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother’s womb, and be born (John 3:4)? He was probably thinking, I thought I came to see an intelligent man. So the Lord had to explain it to him, and then Nicodemus got saved. He came in the night and went home in the light!

That’s the way thousands come to my crusades; they come in the night and go home in the light. We spread them a table and call, Come and dine! We have become the voice of the Lord, messengers of God, calling, Whosoever will, let him take the water of life freely (Revelation 22:17).

See the Glory

Lazarus’ two sisters were in great sorrow. The Lord had served them and served them, but they didn’t know that He would put life on the table for their dead brother. He drew them to the table, and then He said, Said I not unto thee, that, if thou wouldest believe, thou shouldest see the glory of God? 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, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto them, Loose him, and let him go (John 11:40-44).

You have to believe to get to the Lord’s table; you have to believe that your promise of help is on that table.

When Jesus prayed here, He knew the Father heard His every word; and when you pray through the blood in the divine will of God, you should also be able to say, Father, you always hear me.

It’s wonderful to never pray in doubt but only in the perfect faith that the Lord hears. Never pray in defeat or misgivings; knowing that God hears your prayers makes them so much more exciting. Believing that you have the same fellowship with the Father that His only begotten Son had when He was here on earth should increase your faith.

Jesus Makes Intercession

Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand of God, who also maketh intercession for us (Romans 8:34). With Christ and the Holy Spirit making intercession, how can you doubt that your prayers are going through? If you have the Lord living inside you, don’t you know that He hears every word you speak? You’re not disconnected; you’re connected with Him through the blood and the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus had such a mighty impact on people. There was a spiritual famine in the land, and the people were not used to miracles and healings; they’d gone too far away from God. They’d left the healing God of Israel behind, the one who promised, I am the Lord that healeth thee. Wherefore it shall come to pass, if ye hearken to these judgments, and keep, and do them, that the LORD thy God shall keep unto thee the covenant and the mercy which he sware unto thy fathers: And the LORD will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon thee (Deuteronomy 7:12,15).

Do You Know Jesus?

So many people don’t know Jesus. They don’t know that He heals, and they don’t have faith in God. But the Lord is calling you to His table of promises, so come and dine! I went to that table when I was so nigh unto death at the age of twenty-three, and I was made completely whole. That miracle still lives in my body after all of these years, and I teach people that miracles from heaven have life in them. The whole Christ is ours, and He gave Himself for our souls, minds and bodies.

He’s reaching out to this lost world now and calling for all who are lost and undone without God to come to Him. You’ve tried to find peace and love but haven’t; they’re on the Lord’s table. You’ve tried to find faith but haven’t; it’s on the Lord’s table. You’ve watched loved ones die when they could have been healed. You who are in countries where AIDS is raging and hundreds of people are dying week after week, come to the Lord’s table of promises and find life. You and your loved ones can be healed of AIDS. We place that table here for you through the Spirit of God and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, and we say, Come and dine. And when we say it, it’s the same as the Lord saying it; and it works.

There’s room at this table and promises aplenty for each person; why don’t you try Jesus? Some of you have tried drugs, alcohol and everything of the world; but now try Jesus, and you’ll find life. When you try Jesus, you’ll find love like you’ve never known before; you’ll find faith, and you’ll find peace in the raging storms of life. You’ll find healing for your little ones, grace for your home, and your needs being supplied. Oh, come to Jesus and dine with Him! He calls us daily to His table of promises, and we’re feasting.

All the Promises Are on the Table

We have the joy of heaven bubbling on the inside and the peace of God that passeth all understanding. We have a strength beyond compare and a knowledge that tells us there’s a heaven, and we’re on our way. But we don’t have to wait until we get there, we can have all the promises of heaven right here on earth by coming to the Lord’s table. This is a heavenly table, and you can find answers to your questions at this table. That’s where I get my answers, and that’s why I’m full of answers rather than questions; I dine at the Lord’s table.

It’s wonderful when you really dine at the Lord’s table and use the promises. Reach out and take the whole loaf and not just a crumb.

Take God’s Peace

Sometimes, you can be so tortured and tormented that you’re glad when you finally get to sleep, but that’s not the peace of God. The storm is raging, and you think, I can’t die, so I’ll just go to sleep and get away from it all. But you’re just going to wake up and face it again, so why not stay awake and dine at the Lord’s table until you get the peace of God? Then you can go to sleep and wake up in peace. Stay at the table of God and serve yourself love and faith, and you’ll wake up in love and faith. You can wake up with heaven’s joy and peace, and you can wake up thanking God for another day.

Cast Your Burdens Upon Jesus

The devil would like to make you fear, however, there is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love (I John 4:18). Fear comes to everyone at times, but it doesn’t have to stay more than a moment. The Holy Spirit flushes all fear out of your mind if you have the blood-love of God in your soul. Realize that you have nothing to fear and nothing to worry about. Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light (Matthew 11:28-30). Bring your burdens and your sicknesses to Jesus, and He will give you rest. He’s ready to take them.

Bring your burdens of the mind, too. The Lord told me that He gets no glory from them; the devil is the one who brings those battles of the mind. Turn those battles over to the Lord and carry the burden for lost souls in this hour.

Hold onto God’s unchanging hand; He will never let go. He’s holding you in His divine faith, love, grace, peace and strength. He’s holding you in divine healing and miracles. Wilt thou be made whole? It’s such a simple thing for the Lord to make you well all over!

Sinner, Come to Jesus!

You who are unsaved, it’s time to come to God. You don’t have long to get your soul right with Him. The Church Age is about to end. All the end-time signs that the Lord prophesied would be surrounding us at His coming are now here. Jesus said, When ye shall see all these things, know that it is near, even at the doors (Matthew 24:33). The coming of Jesus is right at the door. The nations are getting ready for Armageddon, but the Bride of Christ is preparing for the Rapture. Oh, Sinner, get ready!

Pray this prayer with me now: Oh, God, save my soul. I’m so sorry that I sinned against you, but I’ve come home. I’m going to serve you, Lord, the rest of my life. I believe that Jesus died for me, and I will live for Him. And I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus, come on in!

If you meant that prayer, He has come. You have Him, and you have eternal life bubbling up on the inside. Serve the Lord. Live for Him. Walk in the paths of righteousness and be a Jesus overcomer.

Do You Need a Miracle?

No one has ever loved you like Jesus loves you; no one has ever cared like He cares. If you need a miracle, let the Holy Spirit begin to anoint you now to receive; prepare for that greatness to come upon you. In this Jesus ministry, the Lord gives miracles. We don’t only believe in miracles; we depend on them.

If you’re sick and afflicted or have loved ones who need deliverance, let me pray with you now. The prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up (James 5:15). You can have a miracle; you can be made whole. You can be healed of any affliction and any disease through Jesus, the healing Christ. With God all things are possible (Matthew 19:26). I’m not the healer; Jesus is the healer.

Lord, here they are. I bring the sick and afflicted to you. Lay your healing hands upon them. Make them well; heal them of AIDS, TB, cancer, lung problems, heart trouble, diabetes, or any other disease or affliction. From your supernatural gifts of healing and miracles, the deliverance comes through the power of the Holy Ghost in the name of your Son, Jesus. Heal! Heal, and make them completely whole, I pray!

Miracles and healings are promises in the Word of God, so let that healing power work to get you well. Thank God for His promises and for the strength of heaven! God is giving His promises to all who will accept them in faith believing. Lift up your heart and know that the promises of the Lord are for you. Blessed be the name of the Lord! He is trusting you to live in His promises and depend on them so He can move through you to win the lost in this last and final hour.
