Throw those old books away!
In response to this writer;
Writer says;

“I am reading a powerful book by Charles and Frances Hunter called How to Heal the Sick. Yes the book refers to healing the sick but the principles that they are discussing apply to more than that.In Mark 11:23 it says ,” For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall SAY unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he SAITH.”

Let us see if the apostle Paul agrees with Charles and Frances.

PHILIPPIANS 2:26 For he longed after you all, and was full of heaviness, because that ye had heard that he had been SICK.27 For indeed he was SICK nigh unto death: but God had mercy on him; and not on him only, but on me also, lest I should have sorrow upon sorrow.

And again in Timothy, Paul writes;

2 TIMOTHY 4:20 Erastus abode at Corinth: but Trophimus have I left at Miletum SICK.

Paul must have forgotten his healing handkerchief. Now what about Peter’s approach to this problem . Was it imitation or faith?
1 CORINTHIANS 12:11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing to every man severally as He will.

Peter learned to work with the Spirit listening to Jesus’s instruction;
JOHN 8: 38 I speak that which I have seen with my Father.

Not seeking a formula or ritually speaking.
ACTS 19:12 So that from his body were brought unto the sick HANDKERCHIEFS or aprons, and the diseases departed from them, and the evil spirits went out of them.

Or maybe it was a cloudy day for healing shadows.
ACTS 5:15  Insomuch that they brought forth the sick into the streets, and laid them on beds and couches, that at the least the SHADOW of Peter passing by might overshadow some of them.

The apostles never taught ‘ EVENT THEOLOGY’ where they would copy or imitate biblical events to establish a witness of their beliefs. Jesus discerned that as the spirit of this world.
LUKE 9:54 And when his disciples James and John saw this, they said, Lord, wilt thou that we command fire to come down from heaven, and consume them, even as Elias did? 55 But he turned, and rebuked them, and said, Ye know not what manner of SPIRIT YE ARE OF.

During the time of darkness in the church, being absent of apostolic governance, and when the pastoral leadership ruled in place of true apostles many people took it upon themselves to publish doctrine for the church. Because the covenant priesthood was not understood nor functioning in the assemblies it was replaced with talents , the prophetic, tithing, and healing books as well as numerous inspirationals.
But none of these ministers were chosen by God to the apostles calling with the evidence of that grace equal to those of the first century.
It was during this time that the popularity of the ‘prosperity message’ grew and many HOW-TO books were written which included those mentioned herein.
There was a race for printing these kind of doctrines that caused much confusion and more books were written to untie and rebuild the theories of HOW-TOs.
Paul warned of these kind of pursuits to Timothy as those here;
2TIMOTHY3:7  EVER LEARNING, and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth.

But FABLES were popular and still is because there was no responsibility to covenant stewardship nor to the priesthood of Jesus Christ, and the church suffered under false knowledge and many more became sickly and died.
Truth does not hypnotized with promises but subdues the boasting of the aspirations which the world confirms as good but God calls it evil. Satan plunders by promise, but God builds the soul through the covenant priesthood.
Writer says;

“There is a big difference between saying and praying! When you say, you are commanding. The Bible teaches that you are to speak with authority at all times if you want to see miracles happen. When you pray you are asking God to do something. When you SAY, YOU are commanding something to do happen. Is there something going on in your life that needs change and you have prayed already? Now it is time to speak to that situation. I have a friend that has a baby who is breach. Today I told her that now she needs to speak to her child and tell him that he is going to turn his little head to the birth canal, NOW, in the name of Jesus. That child already knows her voice! She needs to speak to that situation and believe! “

The healing of the soul and all the promises of God are IN HIM, meaning this, that the covenant of Jesus Christ provides the direct fellowship you seek for in your sanctified priesthood which is joined to the Godhead. Then this SEAL will provide the foundation for your faith to be made perfect, and you will experience the fullness of God apart from all the spiritual gimmicks the False Religious System provides for YOUR imagination to predict outcome by.
2 CORINTHIANS 10:5 CASTING DOWN IMAGINATIONS,and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ;

That ‘high thing’ Paul speaks of is the idols of the false knowledge of this world, Satan uses to exhaust the soul and bruise the will blinding the eyes to truth, and vexing with more questions.
TITUS 3:9 But avoid foolish QUESTIONS, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.

By coming into the second covenant and walking according to His commandments all these things are made clear and you grow in wisdom and Spiritual understanding building the House of God by the Spirit.
In His grace

Apostle Eric
