Featured question: “If you pray for a person and the sickness or demon doesn’t leave, what should you tell the person?”
Answer: This is a loaded question, and the premises are questionable. The assumption is to use what we see to judge whether the Word of God is true. See DHT manual section 6.
Proverbs 18:20-21—“…death and life are in the power of the tongue…”We take the word of God literally. We live by faith, not by sight. Jesus healed and delivered everyone who came to Him. Jesus stood by what He said. This is the answer to the question. Jesus gave us the authority to trump the ability of the devil. There cannot
be any wavering.
Matthew 17:16-20—Unbelief comes from wavering between two opinions (or two kingdoms). If there is any unsettledness, our focus is no longer on that thing; instead, it is more on the thing we are thinking about. This is where unbelief comes from. We need to grow into perseverance. We grow in this only when there is opposition. If what we see moves us, we may say something or even make excuses. We need to settle it before we are confronted. Jesus commanded it, always expecting it to be adhered to. We need to build the same mentality in us. This is done by practicing obedience. When we speak to anything according to His will, we have confidence in God that He hears us.
This confidence makes us walk in a different way. There is confidence in expectations.
Don’t be afraid of whether we see results or not when we go out.
Matthew 10:1—He gave us authority to cast out unclean spirits. We have the same authority that Jesus has. We speak on the authority that is over them (unclean spirits). They have to obey.
Luke 9:1—The disciples have authority over all demons.
Luke 10:19—we need to drill this verse into us over and over. This is how we live, and this is how we treat the devil. This is a spirit law, and nothing can be exempt from it. It does not matter what the devil can do. We have the authority over him. No weapons formed again shall prosper.
We cannot let any thought slip it to shake us. There is no “what if it does not work?”

Q1: How does God feel about those in the military who kill in battle/war? It is still sin after all, even if the law of the land does not punish/condemn it. Compare this to the Seventh Day Adventist Christian man in WW2 who refused to bear arms and saved and healed people by pulling them from them battlefield.
A: There is a difference between murder and killing. We can defend ourselves against an offensive person who tries to hurt us. When countries are at war with on another, it is NOT what the Ten Commandments talk about. Not all killing is sin.
What God takes issue with is the purpose/motive. The word translated as “kill” in “thou shall not kill” means premeditated murder for no justifiable reasons, NOT just taking lives.
Q2: It was said last week that we should disciple people. I agree, but what if it is a member of the opposite sex and there is no one of that same sex of JGL in your area?
A: Pray for another person to join you; do not go alone. Make sure someone else is there. Don’t give the devil any reason to slander. A man and a woman that are not married should not do discipleship one by one.
Q3: What do you tell the people who say, “ well, maybe it’s not my time”? Do you say, “ I lay hands and you recover” and leave?
A: People come up with their own explanations, which usually are NOT biblical. You can give them scriptures.
We believe, so we speak, and it will happen.
Q4:
A: The sovereignty of God means He has the right to make the rules and set the consequences. The scripture in 1 Corin 5
Q5: what about the scripture that says deliver the person to Satan for the destruction of the flesh. I heard of a case where a minister was told this while he was praying for a person. he felt the lord physically take his hand off the sick man's head and the lord told him this. this is the sovereignty of God.
A: You cannot make it about the results. You cannot enforce things from the soul or the carnal. You have to do it from your authority in Spirit. The issue is not the symptoms or things you can see; it is the spiritual thing behind it. Trust your spiritual eyes. Don’t get tied back to the nature; this is the enemy’ plot.
Q6: what if you’re the person receiving prayer and have seen some improvement but you are still experiencing oppressive symptoms even as you’re enforcing your authority…how do you see results???
A: We have already had the authority of Christ. So, we need to stand our ground.
Q7: a follow-up to my question. the lord told the minister this because the man was unwilling for 40 years, after he was saved, to do whatever he wanted and kept on sinning. God told the minister I'm taking him home.
A: God is not killing people right now. It is not appropriate to say “God is going to them home” as it is a sugar-coated way to say “God kills them.”
God is not a killer; He wants us to prosper. God wants us to live, to prosper, and to be healthy.
Jesus said clearly that He came to the world so that they could be saved through Him. He came to declare the year of acceptance.
Obviously, the minister in question is not hearing from God. There are a lot of wrong doctrines in the church.
Q8: How are we to be aggressive in healing?
A: John Lake has discovered that when we walk in the dominion we have over the devil, it is not a soft thing. We treat all sickness and diseases as the devil. We go after them like police officers go after criminals. The more we do this, the more we develop perseverance. It is boldness and confidence.

精選問題:
「如果你為某人禱告,但病痛或邪靈沒有離開,你應該怎麼對那人說?」
回答:
這是一個帶有預設立場的問題,其前提本身就是有問題的。這種問法是以所見來判斷神的話語是否真實。請參考《神能醫治訓練手冊》第六章。
箴言18:20-21:「……生死在舌頭的權下……」我們照字面相信神的話。我們憑信心活著,不是憑眼見。耶穌醫治並釋放了所有來到祂面前的人,祂說什麼就做什麼。這就是問題的答案。
耶穌已經把權柄賜給我們,勝過魔鬼的能力,絕不能搖擺不定。
馬太福音17:16-20:不信源自在兩種想法(或兩個國度)之間搖擺不定。如果內心不堅定,注意力就不在神的應許上,而轉移到其他事物,這正是不信的來源。我們要在逆境中成長,培養堅忍的心。若我們受眼見所動,就可能說出錯的話,甚至找藉口。但我們應在挑戰來臨前就立定心志。
耶穌發命令時,是期望對方遵行的,我們也要養成這種思維模式——藉著操練順服來建立。我們若照神旨意宣告,就可以坦然無懼地相信祂必垂聽。
這種信心會改變我們的行事為人。我們要有信心去期待結果,而不是被結果左右。出去行動時,不要懼怕是否有看見果效。
馬太福音10:1:耶穌賜給我們權柄趕逐污鬼。我們擁有與耶穌相同的權柄,是以高於邪靈的權柄說話,他們必須順服。
路加福音9:1:門徒得著勝過一切鬼魔的權柄。
路加福音10:19:這節經文我們要一再默想操練。這就是我們生活的方式,也是我們對付魔鬼的方式。這是屬靈的律,沒有例外。不論魔鬼能做什麼,我們都有權柄勝過他。「凡為攻擊你造成的武器都不能得勝。」
不要容許任何懷疑的思想動搖我們,不要有「如果不成怎麼辦?」這種心態。

問題與回答摘要:
Q1:神如何看待戰爭中殺敵的軍人?畢竟那仍是殺人,即便法律不處罰。和二戰中不拿武器、只救人的基督徒相比呢?
A:
殺人(murder)與殺害(killing)不同。我們可以保護自己免受攻擊。國與國之間的戰爭並不等同於十誡中所說的「不可殺人」。
聖經中的「殺人」指的是無正當理由的預謀謀殺,而非所有奪取生命的行為。神看重的是動機與目的。
⸻
Q2:我們應該門訓別人,但若對方是異性,且當地沒有同性JGLM信徒怎麼辦?
A:
禱告求神派遣他人與你同工,不要單獨行動。要確保有他人在場,不給魔鬼留任何毀謗的機會。男女未婚者不應一對一進行門訓。
⸻
Q3:如果有人說「也許現在不是我的時候」你怎麼回應?只按手然後就離開嗎?
A:
很多人會提出一些不符合聖經的解釋。你可以用聖經經文來回應。我們信,所以說,也必成就。
⸻
Q4:關於神的主權?
A:
神的主權是指祂有權制定法則與後果。參考哥林多前書第五章。
⸻
Q5:有經文說「把人交給撒但毀壞其肉體」——有人見證在禱告時,主將他的手從病人身上拿開,並說要接這人回家。這是出於神的主權嗎?
A:
我們不能將結果視為最終標準,也不能用肉體或魂來執行屬靈的權柄。重點不在於症狀或眼見之事,而在背後的屬靈實質。
要相信你的屬靈眼睛,不要再回到天然的領域,這是仇敵的詭計。
⸻
Q6:如果你是接受禱告的人,雖然症狀稍有改善,但仍受壓迫,該怎麼做才能看見完全果效?
A:
我們已經擁有基督的權柄,所以需要站穩立場,不退後。
⸻
Q7:續問——這位人四十年來不願順服神,仍持續犯罪。主對牧者說「我要接他回家。」這樣的說法正確嗎?
A:
現在不是神「殺人」的時候,不應說「神接他回家」來粉飾其實是「神殺他」的說法。
神不是殺人的神,祂要我們興盛、健康、得生命。
耶穌來是要人得救,不是要定罪。祂來是宣告「悅納人的禧年」。這位牧師顯然沒有聽到來自神的聲音。教會中仍有許多錯誤的教導。
⸻
Q8:我們該如何在醫治上積極主動?
A:
約翰・喬治・雷克(John G. Lake)發現,當我們行使對魔鬼的權柄時,這不是一件溫和的事。我們應該像警察追捕罪犯一樣對待一切病症與疾病。
越操練,就越有堅持的力。這是一種剛強與信心的展現。
