🔹Thinking About Joni Eareckson Tada

On By staceihsIn 🔸 Dear SirLeave a comment

📌Dear Sir,

I have been thinking about Joni Eareckson Tada.

I see the pain in the faces of those she ministers to. I know she encourages them to trust Jesus in the middle of their struggles, and she continues to urge them to keep going even in times of discouragement. I know she is helping many people by offering hope and pointing them to Christ.

But I wonder — is she only encouraging them to endure within the limits of her own testimony of suffering? Is she teaching people to accept their condition as permanent, glorifying God in each step of their trial with the hope of heaven’s healing? Or is she still personally believing for complete healing on this side of eternity?

I asked the Lord if we could pray for her healing. My immediate thought was how she might feel if she realized all that she could have received through Christ and yet had missed. She has suffered faithfully for decades, and she has even advocated for finding purpose in suffering. Wouldn’t it be overwhelming for her to suddenly see that perhaps healing was always available?

Then another thought came: what about the testimony of her being healed now? Wouldn’t that be Continue reading “🔹Thinking About Joni Eareckson Tada” →

What Our Leaders Say About Supernatural Weight Loss

On By staceihsIn 🔸 Christian Living, Weight LossLeave a comment

📌What Our Teachers Say About Supernatural Weight Loss

• Kenneth & Gloria Copeland – They’ve occasionally shared testimonies of people losing weight as part of receiving healing. They teach that our bodies belong to God and are the temple of the Holy Spirit (1 Cor. 6:19-20). Gloria often emphasizes speaking the Word over your body, seeing yourself as healed and whole, and cooperating with the Spirit to change habits.
• Andrew Wommack – He hasn’t done a dedicated teaching on supernatural weight loss, but his healing ministry includes testimonies where people’s bodies changed dramatically after inner healing or deliverance. Andrew emphasizes grace and faith: you believe you’ve already received the provision in Christ, then act on it as the Holy Spirit directs.
• Kenneth Hagin – He taught the principle of “Believe you receive when you pray” (Mark 11:24). He applied this mainly to healing, finances, and deliverance but said it covers “anything in line with God’s Word.” That would include your body being at a healthy weight.

Almost all of them stress three keys:
1. Identity – See yourself already the way God sees you: healthy, disciplined, strong, whole. Continue reading “What Our Leaders Say About Supernatural Weight Loss” →

Would Jesus Use The Internet?

On By staceihsIn 🔸 MinistryLeave a comment

📌Would Jesus Use the Internet?

Yes. I believe He would. Jesus always went where the people were. In His day, that meant the temple, the synagogues, the hillsides, the marketplaces, the dinner tables, and even the seashore. He met Nicodemus by night, Zacchaeus in a tree, and a woman at a well. If the crowds gather somewhere, Jesus shows up there.

Today, billions gather daily on the Internet. It has become the modern “marketplace of ideas.” If Jesus came in the flesh in this generation, it’s hard to imagine Him ignoring the largest gathering place in human history.

How Might He Use It?

1. Teaching the Word
• Just as He sat on a mountain and taught the Sermon on the Mount, He might stream His messages online so the multitudes could hear.
• He could use short parables in posts, videos, or threads …modern equivalents of mustard seed stories that go viral in people’s hearts. Continue reading “Would Jesus Use The Internet?” →

Ministry After Retirement

📌Dear Sir Series

Dear Preacher,

I have watched you write some encouraging things for us older folks about not giving up and needing to press on. Often I have thought I was just supposed to go into some kind of prayer room and be a prayer warrior… you know, let my voice be heard in the heavenlies, and then after prayer time, I should just go clear out the shed for the Mrs. But, my heart has never been happy about that tone of living.

Is it really possible to start a full-time ministry after retirement? Have others done it? Does the Bible promise me success and not a huge amount of heartbreak? I’ve got lots of experience with our Heavenly Father, but never really believed this way.

Thanks for everything. I appreciate all you share.

Sincerely,
Eddy from USA

Rick Renner Shares: The Devil Inserts Thoughts

On By staceihsIn 🔸 Spiritual WarfareLeave a comment

In John 13:2, the Bible gives us a very powerful insight into the way the devil establishes a foothold in people’s minds.

Back in John 12:3–7, Mary brought a pound of spikenard and poured it on Jesus’ feet. Judas thought her act of love was a waste of money and took issue with Jesus about it. But Jesus told Judas to leave Mary alone and allowed her to continue.

John 13:2 then tells us: “And supper being ended, the devil having now put into the heart of Judas Iscariot, Simon’s son, to betray him.”

What was the exact moment that Satan put this thought into Judas’ heart? Apparently, it was when Judas became offended with Jesus about the spikenard. Perhaps Judas didn’t agree with Jesus’ decision, or maybe he didn’t like the fact that Jesus told him to leave Mary alone. Whatever the reason, it was at that moment of disagreement that the devil found an open door into Judas’ heart.

The Ant and the Bag of Sugar

The Ant and the Bag of Sugar

I am like one small ant, sitting beneath a five-pound bag of sugar.
It is heavy—so heavy I cannot lift it, cannot even move it.
And yet, it is not crushing me.
It is sweetness pressed down, waiting to pour out.

So often, the blessings of God feel this way—too much for my tiny hands, too rich for me to contain. I am overwhelmed, not by sorrow or by trial, but by goodness. By His kindness that I cannot measure, by His love that outweighs me.

And here is the truth: I do not have to lift the bag.
I am not called to carry it.
I am called to sit under it, to receive from it, to taste and see that the Lord is good.

The weight of blessing is not a burden but a covering.
Even the ant eats crumb by crumb, sweetness without end.
So will I, in the presence of my God.

Scripture:
“You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” (Psalm 23:5)

Prayer:
Lord, even when I feel too small for Your blessings, remind me that You pour them out measure by measure, enough for today, enough for tomorrow. Teach me to rest under the sweetness of Your goodness, crumb by crumb, until eternity.

Healing:. How we can help others…

📌How we can help others…

Dodie Osteen shares:

It means so much to have somebody close to you stand with you in prayer when you are fighting a disease.

John stood with me and encouraged me. He saw me crying and hurting when nobody else knew it. Some days I didn’t feel like doing anything but cry. He would tell me over and over, "Sweetheart, you’re going to get well. We are going to go all over the world together. We’re going to do things for Jesus. You’re a good soldier. Jesus has confidence in you. Our best days are ahead." He would hold my hand and pray in the Spirit. He would seek God, and God would show him things in the Word, which he would share with me.

When my faith seemed to weaken, it would always be lifted by something John would say or by some special way the Lord would speak to my heart.

John encouraged me and increased my faith in any and every way He could.

Long Life

The Promise of Long Life

Scripture:

“With long life I will satisfy him, and show him My salvation.” (Psalm 91:16 NKJV)

Teaching:

Longevity is not an accident—it’s a covenant promise. In Psalm 91, the Lord lays out a protection plan for those who dwell in His presence. He ends the chapter with this assurance: not only will He deliver and honor His people, but He will also satisfy them with long life.

Notice the word satisfy. God’s promise isn’t just about surviving to old age, but about living a life filled with His presence, His blessings, and His peace. Long life without God is merely existence, but long life with Him is fullness.
