The Power of the Blood of Jesus

Posted in Family, Healing, My thoughts, Prayer, Restoration by

Good morning friends.
I have a big family. From each child was young we lived in good health. I didn’t expect them to be off school with colds and flues. My father said what is wrong with your children they don’t get sick.

I heard messages at Church that Jesus healed diseases. I suppose these words got in my spirit at a young age.
I had rheumatic fever as a child so I needed to believe in God to get better. I did get healed from two bouts of this disease with no ill effect.

As an adult I read the scriptures and got to know more of what Jesus did while he was on earth. He healed all who came to him with disease. Alleluia.

One of my favourite scriptures is about the man who was let down through the roof. His friends helped him get to Jesus. Jesus said to him your sins are forgiven. But you can’t see if your sins are forgiven but you can see if you are healed. Rise up and walk. Jesus did the full work.. He forgave the man’s sins and healed his disease.

Jesus told his followers to do the same. How do we heal others? By believing in the name of Jesus and by applying the blood of Jesus. By the stripes of Jesus we are healed. Dare to believe and receive what Jesus freely gave us. He broke the power of sin and sickness over us. He destroyed the works of the devil.

Speak the name of Jesus over your loved ones. Receive communion which is God’s covenant with us when we remember Jesus death to set us free.

As my children grew they walked in healing. I didn’t let them take vaccines because at the time there was talk of side effects. If they got sick we prayed for them. I live by faith in God. I am different.

As I believe in Jesus he is faithful to answer my prayers for healing because I believe what he did by shedding his blood. Dare to be different!

There were ten plagues that God delivered his people in Egypt from. There may be plagues that come again to us, like covid. It’s time to believe that Jesus can heal and deliver us from any plague. Be prepared. Enter into the protection of the blood of Jesus for your household.
Do you want to be waiting overnight in crowded AxE rooms? Pray and ask God to heal.

The Blind Shall See

Posted in Healing, My thoughts, Prayer, Restoration by

Happy New Year everyone.
Clear our minds from disappointments, addictions, old habits and let us embrace a new year with Christ. One does not have to make new year resolutions in our own strength. We will fail. But giving our problems over to Jesus we can move forward. He breaks the heavy yoke. Praise his Holy name. There is power in the name of Jesus.

Peter denied Jesus three times. Jesus warned him “but I will pray for you and you will not fail.”

I want to share a testimoney I heard on Facebook from a Pastor jjohnglobal. He moved to a new neighbourhood.
He said the people next door called his family, neighbours from heaven. One day the mother of the family next door to the pastor had a stroke, was taken to a reputable hospital but was diagnosed brain dead. The family was going to turn off the machine keeping her body alive, in five days. They were giving time for family to return.

The pastor asked the family if he could visit the mother in hospital. They were happy for him to go. His plan was to pray the last rites over the woman. On the fifth day he arrived at the hospital. He entered the room and spoke to the woman, saying good morning Alice and continued to speak normally. Her body was attached to machines.

The pastor continued to say “me and my wife are going to pray the Our Father over you.”
They continued, our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be your name, thy kingdom come. When he spoke these words the lady began to move on the bed and awoke. She was home from hospital in ten days. There is power in the word of God. 

Our neighbour Elizabeth who is eighty four years old, calls our front small garden God’s garden. Brendan keeps flowers growing there in every season.

Elizabeth told me about a friend of hers who was blind and was going for an operation in one eye. We prayed for Joanne . I quoted Isaiah where the lame shall walk and the blind shall see.

The operation wasn’t successful. When she got home she fell and broke her two ankles. She returned to hospital where her ankles were attended to. She and her family were in great distress. Her daughter returned from England to care for her when she got out of hospital. We continued to pray. Elizabeth prays with her piano as she plays it.

In the meantime the sight in Joanne’s other eye returned, her legs healed and she is independent again. Her daughter returned to work in England. Jesus healed her according to his word. The blind shall see and the lame shall walk.

I say this to give glory to Jesus who heals today. There is power in his words as we proclaim it. Our gifts are for others. The gift of healing is flowing. I’m boasting in how Jesus is answering our prayers and fulfilling his word to us. Pray for the sick and they will recover.

The Importance of Testimoney

The Importance of Testimony

Brendan and I were speaking at a pastor’s church in Switzerland in June two years ago.. He told us he sees David Hathaway often. Oh I said “My arm was healed when I listened to Brendan reading from David’s Book.” The pastor said “Did you tell him?” No I hadn’t told him.

I fell from a step ladder as I picking pears back in September of 2018. The ladder did the splits and I crashed onto my right side. My arm reached out to break the fall. I lay there unable to move. I knew there was no one nearby to hear me call.

After a while I rolled onto my left side and levered myself to stand up. I walked to the kitchen where my daughter was. I got help. My right arm was broken. For the next weeks my arm was in pain. Even after the plaster was removed I had pins and needles in my fingers and more pain. I slept a lot. I was depressed. I couldn’t cook, drive or write.

At the end of December Brendan was reading one of David Hathaway’s books. He was at the end of a meeting. He called all those who had broken arms and legs to come forward. “God was going to heal them” he declared. I received my healing at that moment. No more numbness, tingling sensations or pain as I moved my hand. Praise God. David says it is the power of God, The Holy Spirit moving through him that heals.

Brendan got a phone call from the pastor on Thursday. He wanted to speak to me. David Hathaway was with him. I introduced myself to David and told him how I had received my healing as Brendan read from David’s book. He was encouraged to hear my testimony. He prayed for Brendan and I over the phone. We received his blessing. What a privilege to talk to him.

David Hathaway is a ninety year old English Evangelist who has worked behind the Iron Curtain for forty years. He has preached throughout Russia and Ukraine. He said he hadn’t time to die.

He is needed to help in many nations. Leaders of countries call him asking him to come to their countries and the government arrange for him to speak to their people. He is an Ambassador for the King of kings and Lord of lords. He tells the people that Jesus is the way to heaven, whether they are communists, Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Atheist, Muslem, Black or White.

I tell this story to emphasise the importance of speaking about what God has done for you. It encourages the one who has prayed for you and it brings glory to God. Scripture says we overcome Satan by the word of our testimony and we love not our lives unto death.

God is moving in power to heal people today. Many people think that signs and wonders ended after Jesus and the Apostles died. No no. If God has healed you in any way tell someone about it. Broadcast the wonders of God. Let the redeemed of the Lord say so.

If you have any testimonies write and let me know.

Our Daughter Mary goes To Malawi

Posted in Cancer, Family, Healing, Motherhood, My thoughts, Prayer, Travel by

Our daughter Mary has moved to Blantyre, Malawi. She is an Obstetrician and was working in Liverpool Woman’s Hospital until recently. She will be doing research to improve the care of mothers and babies in the third world.

It’s a wonderful privilege for her to get to work in another nation. It wasn’t an easy decision. Once she decided to take up the position she was busy giving up her accommodation in Liverpool. Furniture was given to friends. Clothes, books, ornaments, all bringing back memories had to be sorted.

We had an afternoon gathering of family relatives and friends at the Ivanhoe to say farewell. Andy Mc Clelland provided music. Mary loves dancing. There were no tears, only joy. She left the next day with three suitcases for her flight to Malawi.

Mary sent me this picture today . It was taken after I was healed of cancer in 2010. My girls in the picture are Hannah, Angela, myself and Mary. They and the rest of my family prayed and supported me through cancer.

Praise God I’m alive to see my daughter go to Malawi and celebrate with my husband, children and grandchildren. I’m not in the grave with my children coming to leave flowers on it.

Bird Song

Posted in Birds, Healing, My thoughts, Nature, Restoration by

Listen can you hear the birds this morning? The winter has past. The time for singing of birds has come!

Our son is getting a flight home today. He is staying near the bus station. He heard the birds singing as daylight was rising. He has company for his morning travel.

Neuroscientists have done research on the nervous system. More and more people are suffering from mental stress. There is too much news and information coming at us from the media. Many of us can’t cope.

The resulting distress drives us to the doctor who suggests medication to help bring peace. Or perhaps drive us to drink or other forms of self medication.

The scientists have found that bird song has a calming effect on our nerves. Listening to the birds brings healing to our mind.

Listen for a bird singing these mornings, whether you live in the city or country. A blackbird lives in a small hedge in the front of my daughter’s house in Belfast.

Listening and seeing the birds brought healing to me when I lived in Portaferry. I have written a book called “Look at the Birds.”

If you would like to buy a copy let me know.

Healing Is Thr Children’s Bread

Healing is the Children’s Bread

Thank all of you who read my recent blog. I am reminded tonight of a question my father asked me about my children when they were young at home and going to school.

Why are your children not sick? Normally children when they go back to school pick up various germs and viruses which leaves them with a cold or flu. They have to take a few days off school to get better.
As the depth of winter arrives, the dark cold days can sap one’s strength. My children seldom missed school. They were healthy throughout the winter.

I told my dad that we believe that God will keep us in good health. If our children are sick we pray for them and that they get well.

So for anyone reading this who have children that come down with every infection that is going around. Don’t expect or accept sickness. Rebuke all disease in Jesus name, take some honey and lemon, a good night’s sleep and all will be well.

That is how I believed and received health in our family.

The Battle Belongs to the Lord

Posted in My thoughts by

The Battle belongs to the Lord

You haven’t heard from me for some weeks . My daughter challenged me tonight. “Have you written any blogs recently? You need to write about all your difficulties! Tell about the bad times as well as the good. “

In my last blog, six weeks ago I wrote about waging war against the principalities in heavenly places. I use the name and the power of the blood of Jesus to defeat Satan who comes to rob, steal and destroy. Well Brendan and I have been through a war since.

Brendan was admitted to hospital for tests. He got home again and is doing well. At the time our children were very conserned.

A few days later I fell and fractured a bone in my right knee. I have had a full plaster on my right leg for the past six weeks. I have been confined to bed for most of the days since.

My husband and family have had to look after me. Brendan has been my carer mainly, bringing breakfast and meals. He didn’t get much time to be pampered after his hospital visit. I appreciate their love and generosity. My neighbours are conserned. Back in September I was outside hosing the back alley.

I have had mixed feelings over the past weeks, depressed, frustrated and weak with sleepless nights. We had to cancel two trips, one to Slovakia and another to Greece. Instead of rest in the sun I have had rest In my bed!!

In hindsight all things have worked together for good. Brendan and I have been home to be with our son who needed our help and the knock on affect on the rest of our family. One of our grandchildren is facing surgery.

A friend of ours was in Israel when the war broke out. Thank God she got another flight home after her own flight was cancelled. Life is changing for me but also for the nations. There are wars and earthquakes as Jesus foretold. It is distressing to hear of war casualties.

I was reading a note I made earlier in the year. It goes “One can’t get through crises without God. “. I can say for sure I couldn’t have got through the recent storms without God. All our family have been affected. When one suffers we all suffer. We were not left without encouragement. Friends or family would call.

I was comforted in the night as I read from the scriptures promises of healing and restoration. I listened to a song by ian White. From it I heard the words “there is holy ground to walk upon, there is work for you to do, limbs will be made strong again. “

It is at times like this I hold on to prophetic words I have been given of hope and deliverance. These situations will pass. Faith is believing what you don’t yet see. God has helped Brendan and I in the past. He will help us again.

I told stories recently about a mother gull that was defending her young. That has been prophetic for Brendan and I. We are praying and defending our family from the attacks of Satan.
We will be victorious over his attacks because Jesus is fighting our battles.

God gave me a promise earlier in the summer. I was reading about Jehosaphat the king of Israel. A great army was attacking . A prophet came and said don’t be afraid. The battle belongs to the Lord.

I will be healed, my husband will be healed, my son ‘s situation will be healed, my grandchild will be healed in Jesus name. There is suffering but there is healing in being a follower of Jesus. And Satan is defeated by the power of the cross.

Healing after Forgveness

Posted in Cancer, Healing, My thoughts, Nature, Prayer by

I was reading a message on a praying What’s App group. It is an article on unforgiveness from a book written by June Newman Davies.

She writes “Firstly one needs to forgive from your heart anyone who has hurt you. Secondly one asks God to forgive the person who hurt you for what he did. Thirdly, ask God to forgive the one who is hurt and remove any unforgiveness.” I agree with what June writes.

In the prayer Jesus taught his disciples he said “Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us.” Jesus went on to his death to demonstrate what he was saying. He interceded with the Father to forgive us because we don’t know what we are doing.

Jesus died on the cross from his wounds. Every drop of blood trickled down from his head, his hands and his feet onto the clay of the earth. He said “Forgive them for they know not what they do.” Jesus released forgiveness to us, who are created from the clay of the earth.

When one knows the forgiveness of Jesus from one’s sins then Jesus asks us to forgive others. By forgiving someone who has hurt us we release ourselves from a spirit of unforgiveness, bitterness and resentment.

“Scientists” quotes Anne, “Show 98 per cent of diseases come from hurts one holds onto, caused by what others have said or done to us. These attitudes cause evil spirits to form a spirit of inforgiveness which causes a root of bitterness to grow up.”

I agree with Anne. I know the result of unforgiveness is disease. I had bitterness against others who hurt me. As I forgave them the cancer disappeared and I was healed from fourth stage cancer.

In 2 Corinthians verse 3 Paiul says, “We are human, but we don’t wage war with human plans and methods. We use God’s mighty weapons to knock down the devil’s strongholds. “

The devil takes advantage of any unforgiveness . If not released from this spirit other spirits come in bringing, anger, hatred and vengeance. These affect our blood. Our immune system is weakened. Diseases like, cancer, insomnia, diabetes, arthritis and others follow.

The good news is Jesus came to destroy the work of the devil. The Blood of Jesus and the name of Jesus are my weapons of warfare. I apply the blood of Jesus to every sin and sickness. The devil flees before the name and the power of the Blood of Jesus and healing follows.

Are you suffering today from disease. Receive the divine healing of Jesus by forgiving others.

Ask the Birds of the Air

Posted in Birds, Healing, My thoughts, Nature by

I continue to distribute my book “Look at the Birds”. If you haven’t got a copy download from Kindle Amazon.co.uk If you are a mobile phone person, having a copy on kindle is easy to access when you have a minute to spare. I can quickly read a book on kindle.

I am encouraged after reading from Job yesterday.

Job 12 v 7

Ask the animals and they will teach you.
Ask the birds of the sky and they will tell you.
Speak to the earth and it will instruct you. Let the fish of the sea speak to you.
For the life of every living thing is in His (The Lord) hand.

Two dolphin have been swimming in Strangford Lough these last few months. They appear near the ferry on the Strangford side.

Their appearance is attracting many visitors. The dolphin are responding to all the attention. They jump and twirl in the water.

My son told me he has noticed the dolphin are attracted by music he plays in his vehicle. My grandchildren are delighted. They get to swim with the dolphins nearby in Strangford Lough.

Do Not Doubt

Posted in Healing, My thoughts by

Do not Doubt that Jesus died and is alive today to heal you.

Now Thomas, one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. So the other disciples told him, “We have seen the Lord!”But he said to them, “Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe.”

A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, “Peace be with you!” Then he said to Thomas, “Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe.”

You may not see Jesus but blessed are you who believe yet have not seen.

It is said that Thomas later went to India. His influence can be seen in Kerala the most Christian state in all of India.

Today Jesus will meet you where you don’t believe. Ask him to reveal himself to you again. Thomas did believe in Jesus before. But had turned away because Jesus had left. If you once believed in Jesus return and Jesus will bring you forward.
