With Healing in His Wings
by Ernest Angley
April 2007
Miracles in abundance have taken place through this Jesus ministry. People have traveled thousands of miles to be here, many from other nations. We’re one great family in this Jesus world outreach, a family God has raised up for this last and final hour. We didn’t choose Him; He chose us, and thank God we were chosen! The greatest honor in the world is to be part of the true Gospel, the true Jesus Church.
We fast for miracles; and as we pray through the blood, sing and worship the Lord through the blood, live in the Word of God, the Father will always hear. We can say the same words Jesus said to the Father: And I knew that thou hearest me always (John 11:42).
In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus taught the disciples: After this manner therefore pray ye: Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name (Matthew 6:9). Our heavenly Father’s name is holy—isn’t that wonderful! Jesus came and gave us the great privilege of having His Father be our Father; He gave His Father to us. We think about the Father giving us Jesus, but have we ever thought that Jesus was giving the Father to us? Jesus taught us how to approach Him: “Father, not my will but thine be done” was in every prayer Jesus prayed. In all of my prayers as well it’s not my will, but “thine be done, oh, Lord.”
Jesus Brings Delivering Greatness
A most blessed scripture is found in Malachi 4🔢 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings. Jesus shall rise with healing in His wings of faith, wings of love—what wings they are! The Son of the Living God has come with healing in His wings. Why make it hard to receive healing? I believe in His healing wings. Those wings of faith gave me wonderful life when I was close to death. I thought surely I was going to die—I thought, I thought. After such a long time of suffering it looked as though all was coming to an end. I knew I was sinking fast. Then Jesus came. So swiftly He came and made me whole!
Maybe you’re suffering with a disease you’ve had a long time, a chronic disease. Maybe you have a disease that the doctors said you will have to live with, but that’s according to medical science, not to Jesus who came with healing in His wings. He brings that delivering greatness, that power; and when He lands, the miracle is yours. When He lands you can be made whole all over like He made me. Today I still carry the strength of the miracle that I received so many years ago, and I still thank Him for making me whole.
I Thought I Was Dying
I had suffered drastically; if I ate I would be in agony; if I didn’t eat I was starving to death. I had watched my body go down to almost a skeleton. Yet, dying deaths, I was determined in my crusades to go into the pulpit, hold onto the Bible stand and preach. If I were going to die, I had made up my mind to do it preaching the Word. Angel, my wife, would help me dress; for part of the time I couldn’t even dress myself. I would look to God for enough strength to get into the pulpit, knowing the longer I preached the stronger I would become.
The nights seemed to never end. I’d cry and pray—when I wasn’t hurting so intensely that I couldn’t get a word out. I’d plead with God, “If it’s not your will to heal me, will you let the dawn come early just this one time? Lord, that’s not asking too much, is it? Surely you can bring the dawn early this time. Lord, the nights are so endless it seems the world’s forgotten all about this boy. Nevertheless I know you haven’t forgotten.”
Then Came the Dawn!
Finally came the glorious time He brought the dawn before midnight; in fact, He brought it a little after ten that night. Yes, the Son of Righteousness had come all the way from Heaven—what a mission! To think that Jesus with healing in His wings would come down from the right hand of the Father to me was simply awesome! He gave me the Jesus touch and I was unable to stand. All the little remaining strength I had disappeared. I felt as though many bolts of electricity had penetrated every particle of me. The Lord had made Himself real, and I reasoned with Him that since His great power had come upon and within me that every disease had to be dead. The Son of Righteousness had come in living reality with healing in His wings and brought me health, hope and peace.
Sometime in a morning hour I went to sleep—although it didn’t matter to me then whether I slept or not. Did you ever get so happy that sleep seemed a waste of time? I was that happy, wide-awake in the Spirit of God. Jesus had been there and done His perfect work. He had made me whole and told me about the future. I knew He couldn’t lie; I would get well; I was going to live; I was going to preach the Gospel!
Jesus told me about a long fast I would go on. He said that when I came out of that fast I would have His power for the healing of the people. Who but the Lord would have told a boy in a dying condition like I was in that he would go on a long fast?
My Praying Mother
The Lord wasn’t going to let me down. He had marked me in my mother’s womb. The angel of the Lord was in my room when I was born, the Lord much later revealed to me. My mother had almost died giving birth. Had the angel of the Lord not been there she probably would have died. But God wouldn’t let her die; I needed her.
My mother was a great force in my life, the “prayingest” person I have ever seen. I was thinking about her on the way to church this afternoon, what a mother of faith! As Jesus came with healing in His wings, He had touched my mother, given her unusual faith. Although she didn’t claim any of the nine gifts of the Holy Spirit, she was gifted with the marvelous love, faith and the compassion of Calvary. Any time day or night if a call came to go to the bedside of someone in need, she would go. In church, people wanted her to pray for them, and she saw many miracles, but she never took any of the glory. Always she was humble, diligent to praise the Lord: “The Lord did it!” she would say when the miracle came. She taught us children the humility, the compassion and love of Jesus, that He not only would always come to us in time of need, but that He was with us all the time.
One More Prayer Did It
When I was a young child I had a bone disease that could have destroyed my leg. It felt as though a wild animal was gnawing on the bone, and the condition lasted a long time. At times I would scream as loud as I could scream. It seemed I couldn’t stand the pain for another moment, but Mama was there. Had she not been there I don’t know what would have happened. She would take her Bible and lay it on me. “Honey,” she would say, “God is going to heal you.” Mama had never lied to me. She said the Lord would heal me, and I knew it was coming. I could see the expectation on her face every time she prayed over me, every time she laid the Bible on me. It was in her voice: I was going to be healed! And that’s exactly what happened. One more prayer did it. One more prayer and I was made whole.
I have a good leg today to match my other leg. I thank God for it! To suffer like I did is one reason I have such a longing for children to be healed. We’ve had many children made well by the hand of God.
A Crippled Boy Healed
In a recent crusade we saw a little crippled boy miraculously healed. That little fellow wanted to get to me. He was one among the hundreds in the invalid section. After the service I went down to that section. On the front row there he was with his father holding him up. The boy was excited when I got close to him, trying to get away from his father. Finally, Daddy couldn’t hold his son any longer. The little crippled boy reached out to me, got his miracle and began to jump up and down and run. He was thrilled; he knew he had his miracle.
After all the shouting had died down, the boy decided he wanted my necktie. That’s the first time anyone who just got a miracle wanted my necktie. I gave it to him, tied it around his neck. He didn’t want Daddy to hold him any longer; he didn’t want to sit down; he wanted to keep bouncing around. I didn’t do it; the Son of Righteousness had come with healing in His wings.
It’s wonderful what God is doing for children in this day.
The disciples were trying to keep little children away from Jesus, but He said, Suffer little children, and forbid them not, to come unto me: for of such is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 19:14).
The disciples saw the compassion of Jesus, and I have sought that same compassion, the compassion Jesus had on Calvary for lost humanity when He died for you and me. You can have that same compassion. Jesus with healing in His wings had come to bring healing to an afflicted, sinful generation of people.
The Lord Is the Healer
It’s wonderful when the Lord comes! Faith in God will heal you; faith in God heals the sick. Someone once told me, “I don’t believe you can heal anyone.”
“I don’t believe I can, either,” I replied.
The man was shocked to hear me say that. He thought he would start a fuss. Certainly I can’t heal anyone! The Lord is the healer. I don’t know one pill from another, but I have great compassion for sick and afflicted people; I have been there. I have longed for the Master to come with healing in His wings; He has promised to come, and He promised to come to you, Child.
Millions of Israelites had died in Egyptian bondage, but finally the time came that the Israelites, well and wealthy, left Egypt. The Lord had come with healing in His wings and healed them all. The Psalmist said, He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and there was not one feeble person among their tribes (Psalm 105:37). By a mighty hand the Lord brought them out.
Be Not Afraid
Many years later God sent to Earth His Word made flesh, Jesus. The Son of Righteousness came with His healing power, the remedy for the whole world, the remedy of deliverance. He didn’t bring fear; He brought the cure for fear: love. The Bible throbs with Be not afraid, be not afraid.
As long as you’re afraid of some disease, it’s apt to come upon you. You must get rid of the fear. Jesus said, Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid (John 14:27). Don’t let fear stay in your heart. It will come momentarily to your mind, but don’t let it lodge in your heart.
Be not afraid. 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). Divine love is the only love that is perfect. Jesus came with healing in His wings of love, love to heal the brokenhearted. He came to set the captives free. He had the healing power.
Some of you were warped, born in a home without God, a home of abuse, and you don’t think you can come out of the effects of that mistreatment. It’s because you don’t recognize Jesus coming to you with healing in His wings. He is the cure for you, and He’ll take all the scars and fear away, leaving nothing but love.
Burn the Bridges to the World
When I was saved the devil tried to convince me not to tell people I was saved, to wait and see if my salvation would work. I didn’t listen to him; I just told more people that I was saved. I started preaching right away. Like Paul, I learned to close all the doors behind me, burn all the bridges. I burned every bridge to the world that I had ever crossed. The devil said, Wait, you might need that bridge! I burned it, blew it up. I knew I was never going back to it. I gave up the world, left it all behind.
When I lived for the devil, I lived for the devil, but when I got saved I left the devil behind and took Jesus for my Savior. He had come to me with healing in His wings. Those who say that young people can’t live for God are wrong; I proved it. I lived pure, clean and holy and did not commit one willful sin after God saved me. I was sanctified, justified and holy just like Jesus. He had come with the cure, and He cured me of the world, taking away my desire for dancing; I had loved the dance floor. I loved other things of the world, but I gave them all up and I held onto nothing worldly.
I took all of Jesus, all I could take in. He had come with healing in His wings and I knew I had to have the whole Jesus. I didn’t wait to unload part of my sins later; I unloaded everything evil and loaded up with righteousness, holiness and love. I didn’t leave the altar that night I was saved until I loved everyone. I had had an enemy before I was saved, and the next week I went out of my way to go where he worked, went into his department and started talking to him as though nothing had ever happened. Was he surprised!
It’s good for people to find out you are different without your telling them. Although they might not know for the moment what happened, they know you’ve changed. I had met Jesus; I had been with Him, the Son of Righteousness. Malachi wrote about Him, and I found Him in living reality. I found in Him all the hope, joy and faith I needed.
A Born Evangelist
When He came to me I didn’t know He would bring joy unspeakable. Never was there a happier young person walking the earth than I was after I found God. I lived to be in His presence, and I spent hours with Him, longing to be with Him more hours. He would talk to me, letting me know things to come, making Himself real to me. The Holy Ghost would speak and sing through me in many different languages; it amazed me. I loved it; I knew it was none of me and all of God.
The Holy Ghost would preach through me, giving me one message after another; the messages would just roll out to the people. The saints of God seemed to enjoy them as much as I enjoyed delivering them. To my amazement I discovered that I was a born evangelist, and I’m still an evangelist. I must evangelize people. I’ve evangelized Grace Cathedral all these years. This revival started over fifty-two years ago in the big tent. Now it’s the big tent spreading all over the world. Isn’t that great! That’s what God can do.
Rockets of Power Going to the World
When God told me to come to Akron, Ohio, I thought He would let me be here about one year, that I could establish a good church in a year’s time. Then I would get a preacher who wanted to take it over and Angel and I would be on our way to the world. That was not to be. Although today I am going to the world, I still have the same church I started over fifty-two years ago.
Showing me how the rockets of power would go from this church, the Lord told me it would be the launching pad to the whole world. Twenty-four hours around the clock now those rockets are going and people are finding God. It’s hard to tell how many thousands have been saved, healed and delivered just this last week. Over a billion can now tune into the Ernest Angley Hour in addition to getting the Word from the printed page, radio and the website. People can tune into my program from all over the world. The books, magazines, tracts and cassettes are traveling the globe.
No Life without Jesus
Jesus is my life; without Him I would have no life. He is my joy, my peace, my contentment. Never would I be contented were it not for the Son of Righteousness. He has given me great contentment. I’m not restless like so many Christians are today. I don’t have that restless spirit that urges me to be on the go and not shut myself away with the Lord, glad that it’s just the Lord and myself alone together. It’s a restless spirit that the enemy will give people, making them think they must be around others all the time. “Others” may be good people, but what is accomplished for the Lord? They could be in His very presence, but they’re not.
I take a fresh anointing for every service. On crusades the preachers can tell you that I don’t fellowship with them; I don’t have time. I’m getting ready for the next service, getting ready to meet their people with loads from Heaven. Then I go back to my room and load up again to unload in the next service. You who travel with me know you don’t see me in the dining room; you just see me in the services. You understand my way of life.
My brother and his wife come from North Carolina for the camp meetings. They come on Thursday, and I meet them at the Buffet. We have a good dinner and then go to my home for dessert. They return to the hotel and that’s the last time I’m with them until camp meeting is over. Knowing my life and delighting in the life I live, they sponsor me greatly in this outreach ministry. They know I have no personal bank account, that I give all to the Lord and His work. I take a very small salary although I could have been rich through my books; I give all the money from them to the Lord.
God didn’t raise me up to be rich, nor did I ask Him to make me rich in earthly possessions, only in the wealth of His Spiritual gifts so I could bless people with all the Jesus power, grace, love and faith. I try to inspire people to know what they can have, to come to the table of the Lord.
God Uses His Gifts through Me
In ministers’ meetings my heart goes out to the ministers and I want to draw them deeper into the Lord, show them what they can have in Him and what they can serve their people. I have no monopoly on the greatness of God, and I have no egotism about it. I give the Lord all the praise, the honor and the glory for what He does. That’s the reason we have miracles in the services, the reason the gifts of the Spirit work. That’s the reason the angel of the Lord is on the platform with me now and the reason he will be standing by me in the healing line and telling me about the diseases of the people. That’s the reason the Lord takes me over and I look on the inside of people’s souls and see what’s there, whether they’re saved or unsaved, close to God or far from Him. I don’t tell people all I see; I may tell a few things, but I’m not at liberty to tell everything. God doesn’t tell people everything. However, He wants me to see what’s there so I can pray intelligently for each case.
I see the devils that bind people and I try to persuade the people that they need deliverance. This is the most devil-possessed age that has ever been. Murder, murder! Kill, kill! Destroy, destroy! rages the spirit of the Antichrist. Terrorists destroy good people and terrorists don’t care. It’s because of devil possession.
The devil hates every man, woman, boy and girl that has ever been born on Earth. He hates Adam and Eve; he hates all human beings. He hates God. The devil’s destiny is sealed; he knows when Jesus moves with healing in His wings that there is not a thing he can do about it if people will look to the Lord.
It’s my business to get people to look to the Lord. Don’t see me; behold the one called Jesus! Behold the Son of Righteousness! Behold the one who came with healing in His wings! He is the love, the power you need; He’s the power that can give you a sound mind.
The Lord let me know the ingredients that made up the mind of Jesus when He was here, and I put them into a book The Mind of Christ. Many don’t realize that Jesus had a human mind, but it was a mind with divine ingredients. Every one of you can have the mind of Christ with its ingredients.
Check your mind with the 141 ingredients listed in The Mind of Christ and see where you stand. Examine yourself. With daily and careful effort add whatever is lacking and be glad you can. Never feel backslidden because you don’t have all the ingredients; know that you can have them all. The Lord said, Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled (Matthew 5:6). If you hunger and thirst for righteousness, not only your soul will be filled but also your mind with the Son of Righteousness. People will see Jesus instead of you; they will see the power of Heaven, the grace of God, the serving Christ instead of you and it will help them to walk the waters of life with joy, hope and miracles.
Are You a New Creature?
This is the hour of great deliverance. Are you delivered? Are you free in the Lord? Are you alive in the Spirit of God? Do you believe in the righteousness and holiness of God? Can you believe that the old Adamic nature is gone from you through the divine blood of Jesus? Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new (II Corinthians 5:17).
It’s amazing how the Son of Righteousness can take a wretched life, an ugly vessel and clear out the devils, no matter how many are there, and make a beautiful vessel of honor. He makes vessels He can fill up again and again, vessels He can use to serve others, vessels to serve great miracle power, to flow it into people and set them free.
The Son of Righteousness with healing in His wings…think of Him moving through the streets of Jerusalem, along the shores of Galilee, even walking the waters; and people were healed, delivered, set free. A man who hadn’t walked in thirty-eight years began to walk all because of Jesus. Go sin no more! Jesus said.
When you are born again sin shall not have dominion over you: for ye are not under the law, but under grace (Romans 6:14). There is no excuse for sinning when the Son of Righteousness comes with healing in His wings. Under His wings we have found love; under His wings we have found grace, the favor of God, and the greatness of Him. Under His wings many have been made whole through and through. Under His wings many of you are on your way to being made whole.
Some of you were so warped growing up that it is taking God a little time to straighten out your warped mind. Your soul is straightened out, but now God has to work on your mind. That mind cup had so many cracks in it that it couldn’t hold very much. Now it’s different. The Lord’s getting that mind cup straightened out; it holds only a limited amount, but the soul has no limit to its capacity. The soul came from God and it can hold all Heaven.
The Power of God Is Not Fanaticism!
I live with the Son of Righteousness. Some people look at what’s going on in these services at Grace Cathedral and decide it’s fanatical; they aren’t going to fall if they’re prayed for. Thinking they are too intelligent to fall, they are prayed for and to their astonishment they fall. I’ve heard people say later, “You just reached out with two fingers, touched me and the next thing I knew I was on the floor. It was like someone hit me with a two-by-four!” Others say, “You didn’t even touch me and I fell!” The power of the Holy Spirit coming on them was so strong they couldn’t stand. But they got their miracle, and now they are happy. Anyone slain in the Spirit one time usually wants it to happen all over again. It’s a most glorious experience!
God holds you in His heart if you want to be held. He wants you to have the same heartbeat that He has. Do you ever check your heartbeat with the heartbeat of the Lord? Some of you check your heartbeat the way medical people check it, but you don’t check it with the heartbeat of God. In the heart of God you find His Holy Word. If your heart matches the Word, you have a sound heart. Now no matter what the devil does, you can rise against him.
When Angel and I first came to Akron we were persecuted, and a lot of it was coming from the preachers. I remember one time Angel and I were on our way home and I was laughing out loud. She said, “I don’t see anything funny. I declare, I believe you just enjoy persecutions!” I thought that was one of the greatest compliments she ever gave me.
Some of you don’t enjoy persecution, but the Lord said, Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven (Matthew 5:10). He didn’t say, “Lucky are you;” He said, “Blessed.” We don’t believe in luck. Luck comes from the devil, and it’s no good; it’s just like him. The blesseds I’m talking about come from the man called Jesus. They come with healing in His wings.
Have you ever found lodging under those wings for a whole night of good rest or do you still worry and fret? Have you ever cuddled up under those wings of healing and miracle power and decided that cancer, diabetes, heart trouble or whatever has no more power over you? Your lungs are re-created, your kidneys are re-created, you’re all right.
This power that Jesus brought creates and re-creates. Jesus proved it, recorded in the ninth chapter of John. Jesus spit on the ground, made two little balls of mud and stuck them in a blind man’s eyesockets. 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 9:7). The miracle proved that Jesus was the Creator.
Now, what is Jesus going to do for you today? Is He here? Do you feel Him? Do you feel the touch of His wings of love coming to thrill you through and through? Oh, the touch of those wings! They are wings of love, faith, peace, joy, contentment, goodness, gentleness and more. They are the wings you need; when they touch you it makes all the difference in the world. When they touch you, you have the whole thought of God, the mind of God for your needs, for every step, every path.
Walk the Love Road
Jesus came, the path-maker, the Son of Righteousness. No doubt He laid out that great road, the Highway of Holiness on which no unclean thing would walk. We are walking on that road, praise God; we had to come through the strait gate to get on that narrow road. Some think the strait gate is up in Heaven; no, it’s down here. You have to go through the Word of God to get on the love road. Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat (Matthew 7:13). Love is the road. Are you on that love road?
Do you believe in Jesus’ healing wings, His faith wings, His love wings; and are you going to be under those wings today and take everything you need?
I remember the time I never, never thought I would be healed all over, but the Lord reminded me later, I made you whole all over! Now people in my services are being made whole all over. The Lord will move on me to ask people, “Wilt thou be made whole?” It’s just as easy for the Lord to heal your body all over as it was for Him to save your soul.
Recently a person came here from out of state, and I asked, “Are you saved?”
“Well, not quite,” he replied.
When people tell me they aren’t quite saved, it means they’re on their way to hell. You are either saved or you are unsaved, on your way to Heaven or on your way to hell. It’s either true or false.
Some people hate true or false the way I used to hate true or false tests in school. I had a mind that might wiggle a point out of a teacher if I could write out my answers including everything I could think of whether it related to the question or not; but if the test was true or false, I was stuck. That’s the way it is with the Bible: You can’t go around and around hoping you might hit on something acceptable; you must know what is true and what is false; you’re either in truth or you are in false. You’re either pleasing God or you’re displeasing Him; you either have your hand in the devil’s hand or you have it in the nail-riven hand.
Prayer for Salvation and Healing
If you need salvation today, why not pray this prayer?
Oh, God, save my soul. I’m so sorry I sinned against you, but I have come home. I confess that I am lost. I confess all my sins. I beg your forgiveness, and I believe the blood of Jesus washes away all my sins. Come into my heart, Jesus! Come on in and have your way in my life. Not my will but thine be done today and all the tomorrows that I have left. Your will be done in my life.
If you are sick and afflicted, or maybe your little one is afflicted, remember that the Lord said, I am the Lord that healeth thee (Exodus 15:26). Are you ready for the miracle? Think on the blood. I’m the Lord’s believer. He has gifted me with His gifts to help people. He pours His power through me to work His will for people. It’s divinity at work; He comes with healing in His wings for you who need a miracle. Lord, I bring the people to you today. I bring that person who is bound with heart trouble, those with diabetes, cancer, AIDS, that paralyzed one, that blind one, that crippled one, and that little one who is diseased, deformed, born with just part of a brain. Make them all well today. In the name of Jesus, heal! In the holy, holy name of the Lord, heal! In the mighty, all-powerful name of Jesus, I pray.
His power is flowing into the bodies of people to get them well; give Him all the honor, the praise, and the glory. I am here, saith the Lord, and my Spirit prayeth for thee. My Spirit prayeth for thee. Open wide your heart’s door and my Spirit will flow this great anointing in. Let it make you whole; let it make you well for the journey. Give over to my Spirit.
If you felt His presence, watch yourself or your little one get well, and then write and tell me about it. It’s wonderful to hear from people, to know the Son of Righteousness has touched them with His healing hand and delivered them. And you who found Jesus today, let me rejoice with you. Because He loves you so much, He has come to you with healing in His wings! How marvelous He is!
