Ephesians 3
14:For this cause I bow my knees unto the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ,
15: Of whom the whole family in heaven and earth is named,
16: That he would grant you, according to the riches of his glory, to be strengthened with might by his Spirit in the inner man;
17:That Christ may dwell in your hearts by faith; that ye, being rooted and grounded in love,
18:May be able to comprehend with all saints what is the breadth, and length, and depth, and height;
19:And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fullness of God.
20:Now unto him that is able to do exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think, according to the power that worketh in us, 21: Unto him be glory in the church by Christ Jesus throughout all ages, world without end. Amen.

Ephesians 5
15: See then that ye walk circumspectly, not as fools, but as wise, 16: Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.
17:Wherefore be ye not unwise, but understanding what the will of the Lord is.
18:And be not drunk with wine, wherein is excess; but be filled with the Spirit;
19:Speaking to yourselves in psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing and making melody in your heart to the Lord; 20:Giving thanks always for all things unto God and the Father in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ;
21:Submitting yourselves one to another in the fear of God.
Father began speaking to me recently about questions I asked him. These questions had to do with people that I have been praying for regarding illness.
I have been praying for them and seeking healing for them and in some cases I have seen miraculous recoveries for which I am amazed and grateful. In some other cases I saw failure and even the death of some of the ones I was praying for. I knew this made no sense because healing is for everyone and there is no sickness or disease stronger than the blood that flowed from the stripes that Jesus' bore.
While meditating on these things he spoke to me the scripture in Proverbs that says “ A merry heart does good like a medicine but a broken spirit who can endure.” I studied this for a few moments and then asked him what it means. He began showing me that in every case the people who were healed had hope and were looking forward to the future. The ones we lost had given up on life and were too weak to recover. Their spirits were broken.

He began showing me that in every case the people who were healed had hope and were looking forward to the future. The ones we lost had given up on life and were too weak to recover. Their spirits were broken.
He then spoke to me the following words and asked me to share them with you. He said:
My children, many of you are ill because your spirits are weak. In some cases your spirits are starving because they are not being fed or are feasting on lies. In other cases they are dying of thirst because you are not partaking of my living water.You are not having constant fellowship with my Spirit. The cares of life and even cares of the church have choked out your life force and your spirits are being weakened.
As I told you in the scriptures you can be strengthened with all might by my spirit which lives within you. You must choose to do this. It will not automatically be done. I do not invade or do anything within you that you do not ask for. You must seek to be strengthened with this might and power if you want it.
This is why some get well and some don't. The life force within you is your spirit, and if your spirit becomes too weak to sustain your body it will no longer keep you alive. This is why some people die from broken hearts and depression.
This is why your enemy tries to keep you depressed because he knows a wounded heart is just as effective as a bullet. This is why he uses television and even pulpits to tell you that things are awful and the end is coming. He wants you to have a defeated, depressed mind so that you will not awaken to the power that is available to change the world. He wants you to think your only hope is if I take you away and let him have the world so he can destroy it. Don't give him the pleasure.
You must learn to feed your spirits before you begin each day. You do this by spending time with me in prayer; not just in petition but in joyous prayer full of laughter and joy because you know you have my ear and my heart. You must also sing to yourselves songs and hymns and spiritual songs to keep yourselves built up and strong.
I am able to do exceeding abundantly above all you can ask our think according to how much power is working in you. I work through people who are empowered by my Spirit in your spirits. So if your spirit is weak then your power is weak and you will not see the success in life that you should.
I need you to put your attention on me and set your minds on things above. This lets the life of heaven flow through you. This is why you receive power when my Spirit comes upon you. You must learn to let my power live in you and flow through you.
The cares of life choke out my life from flowing through you. If you will let these things go and learn to give me your cares then you will have more life working in you. You must learn to live without cares because your cares are mine. You must learn to live in joy because my joy is your strength. The more of my joy you have the stronger you will be.
Those of you who are ministering to those who are sick need to remember that you are not fighting flesh and blood. If a person's spirit is damaged you can get the body well but it wont stay well. This is why you think people lose their healing when they don't. The get temporary relief but the damage in their spirit's flows back into their bodies and they return to their previous condition.

You must build up their spirit and treat their spirit like you would if you found someone malnourished and weakened.
Feed them my love and my truth. Many are so sick that they can't digest much at once so you must be patient and feed them all you can and do it every day.

I know this goes against what many of you think you know about healing but the simple answer is that Jesus had great success because he was full of my Spirit and he learned to endure things because of the joy I put before him. You must focus on my joy and not on sorrow. Jesus spent time with me each day in fellowship and he recharged himself in my presence. You must do the same.
Do you remember that Peter and John were going to the temple to pray when the lame man was healed? Their hearts were full of joy expecting to be in my presence as they prayed. They were singing in their hearts and worshiping while they went so my strength was with them. Peter would soak in my presence in prayer all day and while on the way home they would lay the sick in the streets and I would pour out of him and heal them all.

This is also why you see so many more miracles during your worship services than you do any other time. It is because in my presence is fullness of joy and when you are full of joy miracles can happen. Healed hearts heal hearts and joy is contagious. Come and get you some.
Think of it this way. If you were going to help someone in the dark you would take a light. If your light is dead you replace the battery or recharge it. The key is to stay charged at all times so you are ready day or night to help those in need. You are not going to be able to help others if you are broken yourselves.
So please my loved ones, come to me. Let me fill you with my joyous presence. Come to me with singing and enter into my presence with joy. Come boldly to my throne. I want you to come joyfully and get my grace to pour out on everyone in need. I have an abundance waiting for you. Let me fill you with my oil and my wine and then go find the wounded and heal them. Let me heal you and make you a healer. I love you my children and I want all my children well and blessed and living in my joy.
Will you do this my beloved? Will you let me strengthen you with all my might so that I can reveal my love to you and fill you with my fullness? I want you to be full. I want to be overflowing in you but you must come to me and be healed.
Be ready my beloved. The day comes soon when the most feeble among you is stronger than my mighty David. There will be a day when you search for the sick and the maimed and will not be able to find them. The stripes that my son took are more than enough to take away sickness and disease until there is none left. So don't give up. Just because you may have failed in the past doesn't mean you should quit. Keep trying. You learn by doing. So keep doing.
This is the end of the words He spoke to me at that moment. I hope you are encouraged by these words.
