Kathryn Kuhlman on Why God Sometimes Doesn't Heal

"Most of us have our own personal interpretations of how God should run the universe - based on our own limited personal experiences. Kathryn on the other hand, defied all tradition. She defied the boxes men tried to fit her into. When asked why many who were sick left her service unhealed, she would just shake her head and say; "I don't know - I just don't know". In fact she once said that the very first question she wanted to ask Jesus when she got to heaven was, "Why were some not healed?".

The theologians had answers. Hundreds of them. But the theologians never saw miracles. Kathryn, who was one of the greatest instruments of the miracle power of the Holy Spirit had no answers. "I have no healing virtue", she said over and over again. "I cannot heal a single person. All I do is preach faith. God does the healing. Whom He heals and whom He chooses not to heal is His business. I am, but His handmaiden".

John G Lake on a Passion for Healing

"A great cry to God, such as had never before come from my soul, went up to God. She must not die! I would not have it! Had not Christ died for her? … No words of mine can convey to another soul the cry that was in my heart and the flame of hatred for death and sickness that the Spirit of God had stirred within me. The very wrath of God seemed to possess my soul!".

Terry Virgo on the Supernatural in Church Today

"I do believe in this post-Christian era that there needs to be a breakout of the supernatural because we are back to Bible days! ... Sometimes we are saddened and shocked and not happy with the teaching that goes hand in hand with those who emphasise signs and wonders. The best answer is to preach it like it is and believe and trust God for it!".

Terry Virgo - "Stephen" - Main Session 3 - "Together on a Mission 2008" - Brighton.

Tom Schreiner on the Power Behind Jesus Ministry

"Such healing and exorcisms occured because "God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power" (Acts 10:38). We note again the close association of the Spirit and power, as in Luke 4:14. The effectiveness of Jesus' ministry, His miracles and healings flowed not from Himself but from the power of the Spirit".

Thomas R Schreiner - "New Testament Theology - Magnifying God in Christ" - Apollos, Nottingham (2008) - (p442).

Rob Rufus on the Signs of an Apostle

"One of the signs of an apostle is signs, wonders and miracles. Not someone who talks about them or runs around the world trying to teach other people how to plant churches. Not someone who is a conference speaker or a co-ordinator but someone who actually goes into the frontline pioneering zone where the Gospel hasn't been and breaks in with signs, wonders and miracles! Another sign of an apostle is someone who speaks boldly the message of grace. It is not a title - it has substance behind it".

Rob Rufus - "Session 3 - Sydney Glory and Grace Conference" - 26th March 2008.

Rob Rufus on the Florida Outpouring Critics

"I don't want to listen to people criticising the Florida Outpouring if they are not seeing the same amount of healings. If you are against that then show me what you are doing! If all you can give me is head knowledge from the Bible then don't come near me - I don't want to be associated with you. You have a form of godliness but you deny the power".

Bill Johnson on Jesus Healing Ministry

"How many people came to Jesus for healing and left sick? None. How many came to Him for deliverance and left His Presence still under torment? None. How many life-threatening storms did Jesus bless? None. How many times did Jesus withhold a miracle because the person came to Him had too little faith? Never. He often addressed their small faith or unbelief but He always left them with a miracle as a way to greater faith. Jesus Christ, the Son of God, perfectly illustrated the will of God the Father. To think otherwise is to put the Father and the Son at odds".

Dr Lloyd-Jones on Natural Laws and Miracles

"God is not confined by His own laws. He has made them and if He chooses at times to act independently of them, why should He not?".

Rob Rufus on Praying for the Sick vs Authoritative Commands

"How is Hong Kong going to get saved? By the evangelical message that is; "Just your sins seperate you from God - repent and get saved - keep the demons and be sick and depressed and be miserable and one day it will all be worth it because you will get to heaven"?

That is not what the early church in Acts did and they turned the world upside down! They prayed every now and then and asked God to heal the sick but that was the exception. The norm was to give authoritative commands and today we have made the exception the norm and the norm the exception. And we wonder why we don't have a higher level of miracles!".

Rob Rufus on the Power of the Authoritative Command

"If you want to see a dramatic increase in miracles through your life, STOP doing what most of the Church is doing and praying for the sick and start releasing the power of authoritative healing commands. There is a place to pray for the sick but I can only find one verse in the whole Bible! Jesus didn't tell us to go into the world and ask Him to do what He told us to do".

Rob Rufus on God's view of sickness

"God hates sickness as much as He hates sin because He dealt with both at the same place."

Mark Stibbe on the battle for the church

"The battle is on for the church to really believe the Bible, the Word of God. The battle is on to believe that God still saves, heals and delivers today. The battle is on for the Gospel - for the church to guard and proclaim the timeless truth of the finished work of the Cross. The battle is on and the battle is fierce, but in the midst of all the compromise and deception God is raising up a truly apostolic church. This church is the church through which the King of kings is going to minister his life-changing touch in ever-increasing measure.

This church is the church through which revival will come to the nations."

Mark Stibbe - "One Touch from the King" - Authentic, 1997, p94

Ern Baxter on Healing and the Baptism of the Spirit

"Healings were to attract attention. The Baptism of the Holy Spirit was to empower and initiate into a dimension of supernaturalism. God intends to equip a people corporately".

Ern Baxter on the Healing Movement

"I think the Healing Movement was a supernatural prophetic call to the world to say, "God is alive and He's here!" ... I believe the Healing Movement alerted the people in a very real sense to the renewal of the supernatural".

Dr Ern Baxter - "New Wine Interviews Ern Baxter" - New Wine Magazine - December 1978 - CGM Ministries - (p22).

Rob Rufus on the Book of Ephesians

"Ephesians is not just about a static position in Christ. It is more than doctrine but is trying to communicate to us supernatural life experience. It says “seated in heavenly places”. We are on earth literally ministering from heaven to earth – ministering from eternal to temporary. This is living power! This isn’t just about being saved and going to heaven. This is power to operate in the earth with!".

RobRufus at TOAM '07 (Seminar) - 13th July 2007

Rob Rufus on Healing

"Healings will always be central to God’s agenda as signs and wonders because He loves people. He didn’t heal because He was the Messiah – He healed because He loved them. The Lord says “I want to heal you as an end in itself”.
