LESSON NO. 1
INTRODUCTION
In offering these Preministerial and Christian
Workers’ Bible College Courses, we are impelled by a sense of urgency to get the
God-called layman and the ineffectual minister into an active, demonstrated,
deliverance ministry with signs following.
Whom God called He qualified and if God called you He
put within you the ability to attain to the ministry of your calling. That does
not mean that you need not do the things the Bible says you must do, such as,
“study to shew thyself approved unto God, . . . rightly dividing the word of
truth.” II Tim. 2:15. Or in the day that you seek Him, “thou shalt find him, if
thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.” Deut. 4:29. It does
mean when you have sought God in fasting and prayer and in His written Word -
when you have put on the whole armor of God - when you have made a perfect
consecration - you shall have power to deliver the people and to do the work of
the ministry.
BUT, my dear Christian friend, I believe with all my
heart that you MUST MOVE NOW. MIRACLE RESTORATION REVIVAL was breathed into my
soul while slain by the Lord during our International Convention and Winter Camp
Meeting 1965. In a vision I was shown that the world
was placed in my hands. I saw revival fires burst forth in many, many places on
the globe. Other people came to me for a flame of fire and then went forth with
their lighted torch to set other places
afire. This is what I wish to do for you - give you a
flame of revival fire in order that you may help me set the world aflame for
JESUS. THIS IS GOD’ S LAST CALL. If you expect to fulfill His call on your life,
I believe you must prepare NOW.
To make it possible for you to have this preparation,
I have made available seven Preministerial Courses. I have put into these
courses every bit of the “knowhow” that God has given me during 25 years of
preaching and ministering to the sick and oppressed. Now I offer it to you
ABSOLUTELY FREE. HOW COULD YOU
REFUSE IT, OR FAIL TO TAKE IT?
TAKE HOLD OF INSTRUCTION
“Take fast hold of
instruction; let her not go: keep her; for she is thy life!” Prov. 4:13.
Your health, your healing, even your very life may
depend upon the manner in which you grasp the instructions given in the lessons
of this course.
No doubt, thousands who are
now in their graves would be enjoying perfect health and happiness today had
they received and believed and acted upon the right instructions dealing with
the subject of divine healing, God’ s promises concerning health, and His
requirements of those who would receive the blessing of His promises.
God’s Word declares, “Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy
soul prospereth.” III John 2.
It is not God’s will that any
person should be sick, any more than it is His will that any soul should be
lost. Yet not all people are well and prosperous, any more than all people are
righteous. There is a reason. It is the purpose of this course to help
you to find and know and understand that reason (or
reasons) as they apply first to your own case, and then to your family, your
friends, and to the entire world.
The answers will be given from
the Bible, in God’s own words, and not from speculation and theorizing. From
time to time, authenticated testimonies will be given as confirmation of the
manner in which God has promised to deal with certain
situations, and has kept His promise. You are
encouraged to examine the occurrences in your own life and in the lives of those
you know well in the light of these amazing scriptural truths. Discover the
parallels that exist and the amazing accuracy of God’s
Word in twentieth century surroundings, even though
the writing of the Bible was completed more than nineteen centuries ago!
ALL THINGS BY FAITH
Whatever we receive from God
is received by, through, or because of FAITH. “Let him ask in faith, nothing
wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of the sea driven with the wind
and tossed. For let not that man think that he shall receive anything of the
Lord.” Jas. 1:6,7. Are you sick? Do you need healing? Then you are in need of
faith. Jesus would say to you, as to the woman who touched the hem of His
garment: “Thy faith hath made thee whole.” Mark 5:34. Do you feel that you DO
have faith, and yet the desired healing does not come? Then you need to
re-examine your faith, and do something about your faith!
(1) Is your faith dead? “Faith
without works is dead.” Jas. 2:26. This may be paraphrased without changing its
meaning: “Faith that DOESN’T WORK is dead!”
(2) It may be that your faith
is alive and strong, but is easily shaken when the answer is delayed. “Ye have
need of patience, that, after ye have done the will of God, ye might receive the
promise. Heb. 10:36.
(3) It may be that your faith
is starving. Your faith can only grow and be kept alive as you heed the
admonition of I Pet. 2:2 - “As newborn babes, desire the sincere milk of the
word, that ye may grow thereby.” Do not expect to have effective faith if
you neglect to seek it at its proper source. “Faith
cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” Romans 10:17.
(4) It may be that your faith is being weakened and
destroyed by incomplete obedience. Real faith is not a matter of simply taking
the benefits God offers through believing that they will come, nor even through
believing His promises. Real faith is
believing everything God says - His commands and His
warnings as well as His promises!
GOD’S PROMISES CONCERNING HEALTH AND HEALING ARE
DIRECTLY CONNECTED WITH HIS COMMANDS CONCERNING HOLINESS!
The purpose of the
Preministerial and Christian Workers’ Bible College Correspondence Courses is to
present the Scriptures in such a manner that every student of the courses will
have acquired a firm foundation for his own faith, and will be able to receive
healing when needed. Or better still, to fulfill his days of service for the
Lord in a state of perfect health, and will at the same time acquire a strong
and abiding faith in order to be able to bring health and healing to others.
Laymen, exhorters and ministers will find the lessons of this course to be an
untold blessing.
GOD HAS GUARANTEED TO HEAL YOU!
It is only when you are aware
of this that you can confidently expect that God WILL heal you. Without this
knowledge, you may plead with Him to heal you, and you may hope that He will
consent to do it. You may believe that He is ABLE to heal
you. That is not enough. If He is able but not
willing, that will do you no good. You may KNOW that He has healed others. That
means little to you. But when you know that He is not only able but also willing
to heal YOU, then you can pray with absolute assurance. Therefore, we shall find
proof in the Scriptures that (1) God is ABLE to heal anyone whom He chooses to
heal; (2) that it is His will to heal EVERYONE -- including YOU! Then we shall
show from the Scriptures why, under these
circumstances, there are some who are not healed.
Among the questions answered in the course will be:
How can I know that it is
God’s will to heal me?
How can I overcome my doubts, and be sure of
effective, unwavering faith?
Why do some apparently sincere, devout Christians
remain sick, even after prayer?
Did the gift of healing cease when the apostles died?
Who has power to heal the sick today? Can I have that
power?
Why did Job, called by the Bible a perfect man, have
boils?
What was Paul’s thorn in the flesh? Are some sick for
the glory of God?
Is it possible for one whom God has healed to lose
that healing? How is it possible to avoid this?
How can I have power in my own life to bring healing
and deliverance to others?
HOW TO STUDY YOUR
PREMINISTERIAL AND CHRISTIAN WORKERS’ COURSES
The manner in which you
prepare your Bible Course lessons will determine to a large extent the value of
the lessons to you. Listed below are some helpful suggestions. You will also
find that when you have completed your course, the same methods of study carried
on into your independent study of the Word of God will bring forth much fruit.
PREPARATION FOR STUDY
First of all, before you can
expect to acquire an understanding of God’ s Word, you MUST meet God. Be sure
that you have been born again. (See John 3:5.) If you are not sure of this, we
shall be happy to help you to make sure. Do this before you proceed any further.
Second, “Have ye received the Holy Ghost since ye
believed?” Acts 19:2. Jesus said, “ The Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom
the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all
things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.” John 14:26.
Third, HUNGER AFTER GOD!
“Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall
be filled.” Matt. 5:6.
Fourth, provide yourself with
a good Bible, not too large to carry but large enough to be easily read. Select
a study Bible with type that can be easily read. Avoid unnecessary notes and
helps, which only serve to detract the reader into the precut
channels of interpretation. It is to be your purpose
in this study to find your answers from GOD’ S WORD, AND TO ACCEPT THE WORDS
THAT YOU FIND IN YOUR BIBLE AS THE FINAL AUTHORITY IN ALL THINGS. Only the Word
of God itself can measure up to that. Too many people have fallen short of God’
s blessing because they have lived by the notes in their Bible instead of by
God’s Word itself. You cannot have effective faith unless you are ready to
believe that God means exactly what He says!
Quotations in the lessons will be taken from the King
James Version of the Bible.
If possible, choose a clear
type Bible with only center column or marginal references and possibly a
concordance. Many feel that even these helps are crutches, and that one knows
his Bible better who can find his Scriptures without the use of
such helps.
Fifth, set apart a time for
study, as definitely as if you were attending a class, sitting with other pupils
and listening to a teacher. Some will prefer to set this study time early in the
morning; others may prefer to choose a later hour. Choose the time
in which you are least likely to meet with
distractions or necessary breaks in your schedule; then stick with it!
Sixth, start each class
session with prayer. Your Bible and the lesson sheets are your textbooks. THE
HOLY GHOST IS YOUR TEACHER. Be sure that you have invited His presence and
yielded yourself into His hands as you search God’ s Word. You will find every
day’s study a time of spiritual refreshing as well as enlightenment.
Seventh, secure a loose leaf
notebook, 8 1/2” X 11”, either two hole or three hole: in which you can keep the
lessons of your Bible Courses in order.
NOW YOU ARE READY FOR STUDY
Start at the first and read
the lesson through quickly, keeping in mind the general thought content. Mark
portions that you feel are of particular interest to you, and which you feel you
particularly desire to study deeply.
Re-read the lesson more slowly, making an outline
consisting of the leading thoughts and contributing thoughts of each lesson.
Such an outline will prove useful now in helping you to organize your thinking
and understand thoroughly the subject
matter. Later, you may find it an excellent basic
sermon outline.
You will note that quotations
from Scripture are set off by quotation marks, so that you will realize it is
Scripture when you make your first hasty reading. But do not be satisfied with
merely reading the quotations from the lesson sheet. Keep your open
Bible beside you. Find each quotation in the Bible.
Read the entire verse and the context. Discover for yourself that there has been
no wresting of the meaning of the Scripture. (See II Peter 3:16.) Be sure for
yourself that the meaning attributed to the
quotation in the lesson is the same as that intended
by its author. Make this a practice in ALL your study of religious writings. If
you will do this, you will not be led astray by false doctrines.
MEMORIZE the principal
Scripture quotations from each lesson, including the references. Effective faith
is faith which has a broad and deep foundation of Scripture hidden away in the
heart. Power filled preaching is preaching that comes out of a reservoir of
Scripture, well learned, well understood, and firmly believed.
“Thy word have I hid in mine
heart, that I might not sin against thee.” Ps. 119:11.
Study hard, pray earnestly,
and do your best. Purpose in your heart not only to learn the subject matter,
but to put into practice EVERY DAY the new truths which you have learned, and to
use them not only for your own blessing but to bring blessing to others.

BIBLE COLLEGE CORRESPONDENCE COURSES to your friends.
ARE YOU READY TO STUDY?
Lesson 1 will be a short lesson, since so much time
has been spent in introduction and directions for study. But the truths
presented in Lesson 1 will be the basic fundamentals upon which the entire
course revolves. Start your memorization program with the quotations listed in
the introduction.
Memorize today: “Take fast
hold of instruction; let her not go; keep her; for she is thy life.” Prov. 4:13.
Question: How can I know it is
God’s will to heal me? Why is it important for my healing that I should know it
is God’s will to heal me? Should I pray for healing and include the words, “If
it be Thy will”?
Millions who are sick today
could be perfectly well. God laid the plan and purchased healing for them at
great cost, and made it available to all His people for the asking. Yet many of
these sick people pray a great deal. Many of them have prayed
for healing, and have passed through healing lines
again and again in some of the most successful healing revivals of our time.
They pray much but receive little.
Thus, practical experience and
observation tell us that there is something more needed. Prayer alone is not
enough to bring deliverance. And God’s Word tells us the same thing. “ Ask in
faith, nothing wavering. For he that wavereth is like a wave of
the sea driven with the wind and tossed. For let not
that man think that he shall receive anything of the Lord. Jas. 1:6,7.
Many of those who ask and fail
to receive add to their prayer the words, “If it be thy will.” They feel certain
that this is the pattern of prayer that Jesus set for His people to follow. They
fail to realize that when the disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, teach
us to pray,” Luke 11:1, the pattern which Jesus set
did not contain the word “if”! He did indeed include a petition that God’s will
should be done in earth. But every petition in the entire prayer is a positive
request. Give us. . .forgive us. . .lead us. . .
deliver us.
Many have quoted Christ’s
prayer in the garden, when He cried out in agony of soul, “Father, if thou be
willing, remove this cup from me: nevertheless not my will, but thine, be done.”
Luke 22:42. Let it be remembered that Christ was not praying to
change anything. Re had known from the foundation of
the world that He must drink this cup. He had chosen before He came into the
world to drink it. He was compelled by His love for lost humanity to pass
through this bitter agony. Nevertheless, He declared that He could yet have been
spared. In Matthew’s account: “ Thinkest thou that I cannot now pray to my
Father, and he shall presently give me more than twelve legions of angels? But
how then shall the scriptures be fulfilled, that thus it must be?” Matt. 26:53,
54.
“This is the confidence that
we have in him, that, if we ask anything according to his will, he heareth us:”
I John 5:14. You cannot even be assured that God hears your prayer unless you
know that you have prayed in His will.
“And if we know that he hear
us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of
him.” I John 5:14,15.
So then, all that is necessary
in order to receive healing -- or any other petition that we might ask of God --
is to be assured that our prayer has been heard. And all that is needed to be
sure the prayer is heard is to be ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN that
we have asked a thing which God wills to give us. It
is that simple.
We are dealing with the
subject of HEALING. A man is sick. He longs to be well. His suffering has become
unbearable. He has prayed again and again, “ Oh God, if thou wilt, thou canst
make me whole! If it be thy will, heal me!”
The person who prays for
healing and then adds the words, “If it be thy will,” is openly confessing that
he is not at all sure of receiving healing. The “if ” in your petition denotes
doubt. That sort of prayer cannot possibly be classified as asking “in
faith, nothing wavering.” Time spent in praying this
way is time wasted, so far as obtaining your healing is concerned, for God has
said of such a prayer, “Let not that man think that he shall receive anything of
the Lord!” Jas. 1:7.
In fact, such a prayer is an
insult to the character of God. None of you, as Christians, would dare declare
that God COULD NOT heal you if He so desired. You know that He created the
worlds with a word, and hung the stars in space. You
know that He made the first man out of the dust of the
earth, formed perfectly every nerve and sinew, and then breathed into his
nostrils the breath of life so that he was no longer a lump of clay nor a
natural brute beast, but a living soul. You know that
whatever He willed to do with man, He has the power to
do it. Yet you feel that, having that power, He might as a matter of caprice
prefer to see His creature suffer?
What would you think of a man who enjoyed seeing his
servant suffer? “Cruel!
Sadistic!” you would say. Yet that is the accusation
that many thoughtlessly make against the character of God.
Let me put you on notice, and
I will give you the Scripture to prove it, that God is not such a God!
“Beloved, I wish above all
things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.”
III John 2.
“For there is no respect of
persons with God.” Rom. 2:11.
“Is ANY sick among you? let
him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him
with oil in the name of the Lord: and the prayer of faith SHALL save the sick,
and the LORD SHALL RAISE HIM UP;” Jas. 5: 14, 15.
When Jesus was upon earth in
the flesh, there is no record that He ever refused to heal anyone who came to
Him for healing.
“And great multitudes followed
him, and he healed them all; Matt. 12:15.
“And Jesus went about all the
cities ... healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” Matt.
9:35.
“And he cast out the spirits
with his word, and healed ALL that were sick:” Matt. 8:16.
“God anointed Jesus of
Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Acts 10:38.
Health and healing were God’s
will for His people before Jesus came to earth.
Nearly 1500 B.C., God
promised, “ If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God,
and wilt do that which is right in his sight ... I will put none of these
diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord
that healeth thee.” Exod. 15:26.
By believing God’s promises
today, God’ s people can still be as healthy and strong today as His people were
in 1500 B. C. , for we are still serving the same God. But we are under “a
better covenant, which was established upon better promises.”
Heb. 8:6.
UNDER THE OLD COVENANT, GOD
PROMISED HIS PEOPLE:
Health:
“Then shall thy light break forth as the morning, and
thine health shall spring forth speedily:” Isa. 58:8.
“If thou wilt diligently
hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his
sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will
put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians:
for I am the Lord that healeth thee.” Exod. 15:26.
“Neither shall any plague come
nigh thy dwelling.” Ps. 91:10.
Healing:
“Bless the Lord, O my soul,
and forget not all his benefits: Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth
all thy diseases;” Ps. 103:2,3.
“Many are the afflictions of
the righteous: but the Lord delivereth him out of them ALL.” Ps. 34:19.
“If my people, which are
called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn
from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their
sin, and will heal their land.” II Chron. 7:14.
“For I am the Lord that
healeth thee.” Exod. 15:26.
The Old Testament is filled
with accounts of healings: Naaman, the leper (II Kings 5); Job and his friends
(Job 42); the Shunamite’s son (II Kings 4).
Nearly three million people
comprised the Israelites at the time that they came out of Egypt. God had said
to them, “ If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the Lord thy God, and
wilt do that which is right in his sight . . . I will put none of these diseases
upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that
healeth thee.” Exod. 15:26. God was faithful to His covenant, for we read,
“There was not one feeble person among their tribes.” Ps. 105:37.
Nevertheless, when some among
them failed to keep their part of the covenant, they learned to their sorrow
that God was not blind, and that He meant what He said! This will be taken up in
a later lesson.
(Find and list with references, as many healings and
promises of healing in the Old Testament as you can. You will find some through
your own searching that you will want to add to your memory files.)
A BETTER COVENANT
Much religious teaching today
would make God merely the once-great “I Was.” But we are told: “Jesus Christ the
same yesterday, and today, and forever.” Heb. 13:8, and: “am the Lord, I change
not;” Mal. 3:6.
So then, if He has never changed He is still the great
“I AM.”
By believing God’s promises --
and His commands and warnings as well -- we can still be as healthy today as His
covenant people were 1500 years ago. If the people of God’ s church would
believe His promises and obey His commands, there need
not be one feeble person among their number. We are
still serving the same God, but under “a better covenant, which was established
upon better promises.” Heb. 8:6.
“For if that which is done
away was glorious, much more that which remaineth is glorious.” II Cor. 3:11.
The new covenant is a covenant
of salvation for the soul and healing for the body of the believer, simply on
the basis of faith in and acceptance of the atonement brought about by Christ’s
suffering and death as our substitute.
In the beginning the death penalty was pronounced
against man because of sin. (See Gen. 2:17.) God in His holiness could not
tolerate sin. “The soul that sinneth, it shall die.” Ezek. 18:4. Death is the
price of sin. But Christ paid the price for us - for
you and for me.
The old covenant, expressed
and carried out through the Old Testament, was a covenant of continual
sacrifices, offering year by year continually, the blood of bulls, goats and
turtle doves which were merely symbols of a greater sacrifice to come. (Read
Heb. 9.)
The new covenant is a covenant
of simple faith. It is expressed in Mark 16:16-18:
“He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned. And these
signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils;
they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they
drink any deadly thing it shall not hurt them; they
shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.” Mark 16:16-18.
Millions are sick today
because they refuse to believe God’s promises:
“The prayer of faith shall
save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up;” Jas. 5:15.
“Who his own self bare our
sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto
righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” I Pet. 2:24.
“Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sicknesses. Matt. 8:17.
When Jesus was on earth, he
went everywhere healing the sick. The four gospels record more healings than
salvation sermons. His ministry of healing was the means of both drawing the
attention of the people, and of proving to them that He had power on earth to
forgive sins.
“ Whether is it easier to say
to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take
up thy bed, and walk? But that ye may know that the Son of man hath power on
earth to forgive sins, (he saith to the sick of the palsy,) I say unto
thee, Arise, and take up thy bed, and go thy way into
thine house.” Mark 2:9-11.
Before He returned to heaven,
He gave His disciples a commission: “ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations,
baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have
commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always even unto
the end of the world. Amen.” Matt. 28:19, 20.
Among those things “whatsoever
he had commanded” is found in the following:
“Heal the sick, cleanse the
lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”
Matt. 10:8.
As the disciples went forth
teaching, as He had commanded, and laying hands on the sick as commanded in Mark
16:18, the Lord was true to His Word.
“And they went forth, and
preached everywhere, the Lord working with them, and confirming the word with
signs following.” Mark 16:20.
What signs? Read again, Mark
16:16-18. Then read the book of Acts and list one example of each of the signs
mentioned having been in evidence in the life and ministry of Paul or the
apostles.
“EVEN UNTO THE END OF THE
WORLD” Matt. 28:20.
The healings, signs, wonders and miracles listed in the
book of Acts are merely a sample of the things which Jesus began to do in
working with His disciples through the power of the indwelling Holy Ghost after
He had gone back to heaven. Nowhere in the Word of God is there any Scripture
which states or implies that He would cease to be with His disciples (those who
believe), and to confirm the Word with signs following, before the end of the
age! He is still healing the sick today. As believers lay hands upon them in
faith, the deaf hear, the blind see, the lame walk, and all manner of disease is
healed.
Many receive healing as they reach out to God by faith
through their own prayers.
Handkerchiefs and bits of
cloth are taken from those whom God is using today to bring healing and
deliverance and healing comes to many who cannot reach the great healing
campaigns.
There are many methods that
God has set out in His Word whereby those in need of healing may avail
themselves of His promises. These will be discussed in a later lesson. One thing
that they all have in common is: FAITH IS AN ABSOLUTE
NECESSITY.
Nothing can be received from
God without faith. Faith must be based upon promises. Promises are of no value
unless they are made by one who is faithful.
We can safely place our
confidence in Him and in His promises.
“Let us hold fast the
profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is
faithful that promised;)” Heb. 10:23.
