Jeremiah 15:16
Your words were found, and I ate them,
And Your word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart;
For I am called by Your name,
O Lord God of hosts.
Song is a weapon that we can always use against discouragement. As we thus open the heart to the sunlight of the Saviour's presence, we shall have health and His blessing. Ministry of Healing 254
Munching on the promises of healing love
Sent to sick and weary hearts from Christ above
Brought by wings of angels and the Heavenly Dove
Munching on the promises of God
Munching, Munching,
Munching on the promises of God my Savior;
Munching, Munching,
I’m Munching on the promises of God.
Munching on the promises that cannot fail,
When the howling storms of doubt and fear assail,
By the living Word of God I shall prevail,
Munching on the promises of God.
Proverbs 17:22a A merry heart does good, like medicine...
Nehemiah 8:10 ...Do not sorrow, for the joy of the Lord is your strength.
God promises healing and life
Hosea 6:1
Come, and let us return to the Lord;
For He has torn, but He will heal us;
He has stricken, but He will bind us up.
John 6:63 It is the Spirit who gives life; the flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and they are life.
1 John 5:12
He who has the Son has life; he who does not have the Son of God does not have life.
God dwells in the praises of His people
Psalm 22:3 But You are holy, Enthroned in the praises of Israel.
Then let us praise God!
Revive Us Again
With His stripes we are healed
What a blessed redeemer to cure and to shield
Hallelujah, Thine the glory, Hallelujah, Amen
Hallelujah, thine the glory, Hallelujah, Amen
The following are responses to questions made to Pastor Glenn Coon
Do not be quick to judge other people's faith
While it is true that the teachings of a healing ministry should match up with God's word (see Isaiah 8:20), we shouldn't be so quick to judge (Matthew 7:1). God's word tells us to honor all people, even if we don't agree with them (1 Peter 2:17). We are not to think of ourselves more highly than we ought (Romans 12:3). "Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him...." Psalm 37:7. "...In quietness and confidence shall be your strength.” Isaiah 30:15. Pastor Glenn Coon once said that one time someone tried to approach someone else about their difference in beliefs and this the person responded by saying, "Just pray for me and shut up!". Ha ha. It says in 1 Thessalonians 4:11 that we should learn how to be quiet and mind our own business.
Glenn Coon also told of how someone had used Psalm 22:26 as a promise for weight loss. Although it seemed like a stretch in his opinion, but he came to agree with this after hearing that one should eat a good breakfast and lunch, then skip dinner to lose weight.
It is impossible for any mind to comprehend all the richness and greatness of even one promise of God. One catches the glory of one point of view, another the beauty and grace from another point, and the soul is filled with the heavenly light. [Testimonies to Ministers and Gospel Workers, p. 111]
The blessing of being a blessing to others
One of the surest hindrances to the recovery of the sick is the centering of attention upon themselves. Many invalids feel that everyone should give them sympathy and help, when what they need is to have their attention turned away from themselves, to think of and care for others... The darkness will be dispelled from their own hearts as they try to help others. As we seek to comfort others with the comfort wherewith we are comforted, the blessing comes back to us. [Ministry of Healing, p. 256]
Do not point the finger
While it is true that many are afflicted because of their own sins (Psalm 107:17), The 9th verse of Isaiah 58 says we shouldn't point fingers at each other. That doesn't help you or the other person, it only keeps you in the darkness of selfishness and takes your focus away from the light of Jesus. Instead of usurping God's judgment seat, why not be witnesses of His grace as revealed in Jesus? Is that not what we are called to be? There are souls who are sick and in distress, they need to hear God's Word so they may be healed and delivered from destruction. (Psalm 107:19-20)
