I recently watched one of the most inspiring movies of my life, Father of Lights. It's about taking God to the people. It's about miracles and healings taking place right before your eyes, on the streets. Kind of reminds you of the Gospels, doesn't it?
You will see a Hindu being led by God through a dream to go the following day to a specific location and a person would be there to teach him important truths. The next day, he met the man whom he was shown in his dream and he heard the Gospel message which he gladly received and went back to his village to share Jesus. All this is captured live on camera in powerful, moving drama. Visit filmmaker Darren Wilson's website and get a copy to see for yourself!
Question: Since my infirmity is a result of my own personal negligence and now my health is ruined, can I still expect a miracle of healing, or must I now suffer the consequences of my sin and foolishness? I feel guilty and ashamed and believe this is a cross I must bear as punishment for my sins. I believe God is teaching me a lesson through this, so if that's true, does that mean He wants me to stay sick?
Silver has been used for healing for centuries. The Greeks and Romans kept liquids in silver jars. During the plagues in Europe, many royal families escaped disease because they ate off silver plates and used silver utensils. It was used by the American pioneers to keep water and milk from spoiling or becoming contaminated. It is used by NASA to purify water in the space shuttle. Russia also uses it in their space shuttle. It is used by some airlines to purify water on flights. Thin silver foil is still used in India and China to wrap portions of food in. The food and silver wrap are eaten together. Silver is used in most of the burn centers in the U.S (check under "dressings" in this article). and has been used to prevent blindness in newborn infants eyes for many years.

We all walk in amazing giftedness from our heavenly Father. Because of His great love for us He bestows multiple gifts upon us. He begins by endowing us with unique heart motivations at birth, then matures us so we become special gifts which minister life to others (1 Pet. 4:10), and on top of that He places the Holy Spirit within us, so that we always have direct access to Him and His resources to meet any need we face as we walk through life. Wow! What could be better than that? Nothing that I can think of. Let's briefly review these three aspects of giftedness.
The following story is from Robin Little: I recently resumed my studies with CLU after a four year break. In the second lesson of the foundational course, How to Hear God's Voice, I had a question for my Instructor but she suggested I journal it instead. Here are my questions and Father God's surprising answers.
Today my daughter Charity shares an insightful dream, some excellent keys for interpretation, and the message God gave her through it for us.
This post reminds me of Exodus 33, when Moses told God that unless His presence went with them, Moses didn't want to go. Indeed, it's not always about where you're going, as much as Who you have beside you.
Be blessed!

Is meditation simply me studying harder? Is meditation a New Age or Eastern technique? The answer to both questions is NO! Biblical Meditation is “God’s Spirit utilizing every faculty of my heart and mind, bringing forth revelation which ushers in transformation.” Meditation is intently seeking God’s revelation, resulting in God disclosing Himself to you.
When we come before a King, we are to bring a gift (Ps. 45:11,12).
When Esther went to the king with a request, her gift was to adorn herself in her royal robes, and prepare herself with oils of myrrh and spices and cosmetics to make herself as beautiful as possible (Es. 2:12).
