Book Review of "God Is That You, Me, Or The Devil" by Kevin E. Winters

Lately, I've been asking God to help me understand why some people I pray for do not get healed on the spot.  Using your Kingdom authority as a believer in Jesus in my experience and the reports of other brothers I know that pray for healing see about 70% of people show some sign of improvement or complete healing.  What I'm learning through reading other brother's experiences is there are a multitude of ways we can go about praying for others to be healed.  So many ways...which leads me to an author that hits many topics I've been studying.  I listened to Kevin Winters and the Praying Medic via YouTube and decided to buy Mr. Winters book as recently I've been trying to hear from God as well as see in the Spirit to learn how to pray for people that I may not be able to drive to or a person that I know is not able to take a phone call or have visitors due to the closeness of death and protective state the family often will surround their love one with.  

So being sensitive to that I want to learn how to pray on their behalf for healing.  And all that to say this is what lead me to this excellent book.  I call it a reference because it is so detailed that I cannot read the whole thing in a couple days like most books.  This is one you read and digest and meditate on with scriptures and then practice what you read.  I say it is close to having someone disciple you.  Of course having someone disciple you in person would be the preferred method, but in this day it is hard to find that.  So God gives us people like Kevin Winters to write books for us to help.

"God is That You, Me or the Devil" again is an excellent reference book to have with bible verses if you are interested in practicing many spiritual blessings that we as believers in Jesus have access. 

Mr. Winters speaks about many topics but one in particular that inspired me was when he talks about hearing the voice of God.  When you have little experience on this subject it is helpful to get some advice and biblical support on the topic.  This is what the author does throughout the book on many topics.

For example, if you are trying to learn how to seek God, be still, ask God for dreams and visions and things of that sort, the author provides practical advice.  Here is an small excerpt to demonstrate what I'm trying to explain:

"You should follow the examples of these great men.  When you go to bed look to have a dream or vision. If you do not get a dream or vision get up early and when you pray close your eyes and look for a vision. If you do not get one go throughout your day with your mind stayed on Him and look for a vision or listen for an answer in the thoughts of your heart. If that does not happen get a topical Bible and research the subject.  But whatever you do do not stop looking for an answer. This is what "looking" looks like for those of us who hear for God.  We have learned to look and see."


Another golden nugget to encourage the reader to continue asking God for wisdom in humility:

"..I know that I do not know, so I ask God for the answer and He tells me. And since He is no respecter of persons He will do the same for you."


Concerning the importance of the Word of God in your life:

"The Bible is your first line of defense in discerning the voice of God.  It is His revealed will and should be respected as such."

My final thoughts on this book are hard to put in a summary.  But since I must do just that I will say that if you are attempting to grow closer to God and need help with that this book can help jump start you with ideas, truths, and examples of how one goes about hearing God, discerning the voice of God, seeking God and so much more.  This book is a blessing and I recommend it.

Which Covenant Was Jesus Under Before Dying on the Cross?

The answer is the Old Covenant. Galatians 4:4 KJV But when the fulness of the time was come, God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law, Jesus was born under the law and was sent only to the lost sheep of Israel. Matthew 15:24 KJV But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel. Because Jesus lived under the covenant of law, His words line up with that covenant as He spoke to the Jews. Under the old covenant the only blood ever shed for people was animal blood which had no power to forgive sins or perfect the believer before God. (Heb. 7:19; 9:9; 10:1-4; 11:40) Animal's blood could only cover/atone for sin until the Lamb of God would come and take away the sin of the world and remove it as far as the east is from the west and remember it no more. John 1:29 KJV The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world. If you are a true believer the...

If It Is God's Will To Heal Then Why Did This Person Not Get Healed By Christian Number 1?

This article was taken from a post Steve Harmon made about two years ago which illustrates what most Christians pray and expect when they pray for healing.  And the result is nothing.  He explains why: When I was at this church, there was this lady who had a horrible migraine. It was so bad that she had to get injections to numb the pain. After church was over, she was leaving and a Christian prayed for her. I knew this lady was not going to get healed when this Christian prayed. The reason was because of this Christian’s faith, meaning, I knew how she believed overall. The Christian doesn’t believe it’s God’s will for all to be healed, only some. The Christian believes that God is in control of everything. Also, they’ve seen so much disappointment that their motivation is almost completely shot. The prayer that the Christian gives is more of a comfort prayer than anything. The Christian hugs and consoles the lady with the migraine, as if that is going to make the migrain...

Baptist Doctrine of Once Saved Always Saved Commentary Jim Richards

Attitude of Once Saved Always Saved Why is it so common for baptists to want to pick a fight with everyone in hopes to defend their belief in once saved always saved? It seems ironic to me that a fellow believer would need to have a doctrine to help them believe they are saved when there is scripture that says that the Spirit of God confirms with us that we belong to God.  A lack of confidence indicates a lack of faith and salvation is obtained by grace through faith.  Without faith it is impossible to please God.  Without faith you cannot participate in the promises of God for anything.
