Blessed Life Fellowship

Eric Burton of GroundBreaker International ministers at BLF on healing, faith, and what the ancient Hebrews indicates about the power of declaration through the spoken word.  Great stuff!  

 

There are several roadblocks to healing that those who are seeking it need to be aware of.  This teaching lists 7 common hindrances that often go unnoticed by people praying for healing.  At the end of this teaching, BLF member Juli Suverkrup gives an amazing testimony of how God opened her womb when she and her husband were unable to have children.  Let this teaching equip you and encourage you in your own walk of faith.  

This teaching continues with gaining insight from Abraham's journey of faith, and makes several observations in how to grow and maintain strong faith as it applies to healing.  Also featured in this teaching is guidance on the importance of taking care of our bodies and what the Bible has to say about that, in addition to insights about how vitally important it is to walk in love and how that can hinder the life of faith, and more.  

Faith is often journey rather than an instantaneous result.  While a person is learning to develop strong faith, the answer to our prayers may be delayed as it was in Abraham's case.  Abraham is our example of how to walk in faith, as he demonstrated how even in the midst of impossible circumstances, we can cling to the promises of God and see them come to pass if we "waver not through unbelief."  This teaching also provides some little-known insights on Isaiah 53 that can help build your faith for healing!   

Hebrews 11:6 tells us that without faith it's impossible to please God.  And James 1:6-8 says without faith we can't even expect to receive anything from God!  Obviously, then, we need to discover what faith is and how to walk in it if we expect to receive healing, or anything else for that matter.  While many man-made religious ideas have been conjured up to try to explain why some people don't get healed, the fact is, none of them are based in the Word of God.  Actually, there is nothing more emphatically taught throughout God's Word than that through the atonement of Christ both salvation AND healing were provided.  This teaching, therefore, explores more concepts of healing under the umbrella of faith!  

In this second teaching in the series, we discuss two little-known concepts about healing.  The first is the broader meaning of salvation and how it's more than forgiveness of sins, but includes benefits in this life as well.  The second issue is Paul's "thorn in the flesh," which many people mistakenly believe was an illness of some sort.  It wasn't. Learn in this teaching why Paul's thorn in the flesh couldn't have been an illness and why that's important to know in building your faith for healing.  

Is healing for today, or did it pass away with the first century apostles as some people say?  In this teaching we will explore what God's Word says about healing versus some of the dismissive modern day teachings that claim God sometimes puts sickness on people to teach them some character lesson, or that we can't always rely on God's willingness to heal some people.  Rather than relying on man-centered teachings, we dive in to what the Word of God says about this so we can build our faith in this area and experience more of God's miraculous power.   

One reason a veil of deception remains over so many in this culture, even those who profess to be Christian, is a failure on the part of pastors to address the truth regarding social issues and preach the full balanced Gospel.  In this teaching, guest speaker and Blessed Life Fellowship member Brent Denney expounds upon where this nation has been headed in terms of the push toward socialism and ultimately communism, and what the outcome of that would be.  Brent also emphasizes the need for God's people to stand up and proclaim the truth, the importance of prayer, and the impact of getting back to the proclamation of the true message of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 

Guest speaker Brent Denney gives his take and additional insights on the series pastor Andy just finished on pride and humility.  This teaching provides insights on the humility of faith, and other action steps that accentuate pastor Andy's previous series, as well as a testimony on how the teachings on pride vs. humility have affected Brent and his family.  

June 24, 2022 is the day that will forever mark the month of June as LIFE MONTH!  In response to the prayers of His people, God has brought a great victory to His people in the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and His Church is celebrating!  And while this is indeed a time for great elation, it's only one victory in a spiritual war.  We are contending for the heart of our nation, and this is not a time to rest on past or even current victories.  The enemy is stirred up, and we must keep up the pressure in prayer, fasting, decreeing, and being involved in the work of the Gospel.  This teaching provides the proper perspective on this historic victory, and where we go from here.
