Featured question: “If a sick person does not get healed, how long should you pray in tongues to make it happen?”
Answer: Tongues will NOT make it happen. Jesus had made healing happen. Having faith in the finished work of Jesus makes it happen. We were already healed when Jesus was whipped on the whipping post.
That’s why Mark 16:18 says “the sick shall
recover, ” not “shall be healed.” None of our work can make it happen; we just need to enforce the victory won by Jesus. See Sections 5-8, 12, 13, 15 & 17 of the DHT manual.
Our faith is in Christ and what He has accomplished; Our faith is not in our own faith.
There is nothing we can do go get this (healing) to happen.
The Bible is not a book of formulas; it is a book of principles and ways of living for the sons of God.
1 Cor 14:4—Speaking in tongues edifies one’s self. We should be praying in tongues.
When we pray in tongues, we are building ourselves up in the holy faith and stirring ourselves up.
Mark 16:17-18—“…these signs”—signs are for the non-believers, not for the
believers; signs “follow” after us, the believers. These signs will follow those who believe the Gospel preached by the Disciples. Here Jesus did NOT say “believers are
going to speak in tongues and the sick shall recover.”
The message is sacred; the methods are not.
Tongues could be used to heal the sick, but Jesus did not link praying in tongues with healing the sick. Instead, He said “laying hands.”
Matthew 17:16-20—The disciples were already healing the sick and casting out demons when this event took place; however, they failed and Jesus rebuked them
for their unbelief, NOT their not speaking in tongues. The main thing Jesus told them to have was “faith” (as a mustard seed).
“Little faith” refers to its (poor) quality, not quantity.
Acts 1:8—Jesus did not say the disciples will receive “tongues” when the Holy Spirit has come upon them; Jesus said “power”—miraculous ability.
Mark 11:22-24—Jesus did not even bother checking the fig tree after He spoke its destiny to it; Peter had to get His attention for the fig tree. Faith is trusting God
with everything.
Jesus emphasized that it is having faith in God that produces results.
John G. Lake said praying in tongues was the making of his ministry.
Luke 17:6—“faith as a mustard seed…”When we pray in tongues, we better pray in tongues in faith. We better do everything in faith.
When we believe it is a done deal (and have already received), we will talk in a way as if it is already done. We will say it in past tense. We have to speak like it is already
finished. Faith is what moves the mountain.

Q1: During the June 13-15 Dominion Seminar with Curry Blake in Frankfurt, Germany, I learned that my sister-in-law in Mokopane, South Africa is suffering from Vascular Dementia. I filled out a prayer request for her at the seminar. I also prayed for her on the phone and demanded the illness and spirit of infirmity to leave her body. Last week she was submitted to a care unit at an old age home
because she lost her ability to talk in an understandable way, and when my brother didn’t understand, she got very mad at him. Her situation has worsened severely.
My question is: How long should I carry on demanding the sickness to leave her, or should I just believe that she is recovering and wait for total recovery? What should I do?
A: 1) when you minister to somebody and the symptoms worsen at first, that means
the entity causing the sickness is ready to leave. They want to trash the place (the person) before they have to leave. This can be a good thing (i.e., the worsening).
Hit it with more force. Command healing again. When we speak, we speak with the
authority of Christ on His behalf. Minister to that person again.
2) If you believe it is done, you talk like it is done.
Q2: Did God command us to heal the sick? Jesus told his disciples to cast out, heal the sick and preach the kingdom of heaven. These signs will follow those who believe.
A: Absolutely He did. It is a command, not a suggestion. In the Kingdom of God, there is no such a thing called “a job fair.” We do not get to pick and choose which
word we are obedient to. We are to be doers of the written word of God.
Healing the sick is a way to preach the Gospel. Healing is the dinner bell of the Gospel. This shows people the love of God and how caring He is.
Q3: In Pentecostalism they teach one is not saved if they don't speak in tongues. Is that true? If it's not true how should an individual respond to one that believes it true.
A: No. Every -ism is a religion. Speaking in tongues is just the beginning, not the
epitome. Faith is the evidence that we are born again, not tongues.
The baptism of the Holy Spirt is that we have God in us and He overflows from us and surrounds us.
Q4: Can we move the gifts of the Holy Spirit at will?
A: Yes. Here “gifts” are ways the Holy Spirit manifests Himself. If we are fully mature
manifested sons of God, these manifestations flow as we move. When we walk in what He has given us and witness for Him, these manifestations will come out.
JGLM DHT 問答通話 - 2025年7月17日
特色問題： 「如果病人沒有康復，我應該禱告多長時間的方言才能讓它發生？」
回答： 方言不會讓它發生。耶穌已經使醫治發生了。對耶穌已完成的工作有信心，才能讓它發生。當耶穌在鞭笞柱上被鞭打時，我們已經得了醫治。這就是為什麼馬可福音16:18說「病人必痊癒」，而不是「必被醫治」。我們的工作都不能讓它發生；我們只需要執行耶穌贏得的勝利。參見DHT手冊第5-8、12、13、15和17節。
我們的信心是在基督和祂所成就的，而不是在我們自己的信心。我們無能為力來促成這（醫治）的發生。
聖經不是一本公式書；它是一本關於上帝兒女生活原則和方式的書。
哥林多前書14:4——說方言能造就自己。我們應該禱告方言。當我們禱告方言時，我們是在聖潔的信心上建立自己，並激勵自己。
馬可福音16:17-18——「……這些神蹟」——神蹟是給非信徒看的，不是給信徒看的；神蹟「隨著」我們信徒。這些神蹟將隨著那些相信門徒所傳福音的人。在這裡，耶穌沒有說「信徒將說方言，病人必痊癒」。
信息是神聖的；方法則不然。
方言可以用來醫治病人，但耶穌並沒有將禱告方言與醫治病人聯繫起來。相反，祂說的是「按手」。
馬太福音17:16-20——當這件事發生時，門徒們已經在醫治病人並趕出惡魔；然而，他們失敗了，耶穌斥責他們是因為他們的不信，而不是因為他們沒有說方言。耶穌告訴他們最主要要有的就是「信心」（如芥菜種）。
「小信」指的是其（差的）品質，而不是數量。
使徒行傳1:8——耶穌沒有說當聖靈降臨在他們身上時，門徒們會領受「方言」；耶穌說的是「能力」——奇蹟般的能力。
馬可福音11:22-24——耶穌在對無花果樹說出它的命運後，甚至沒有去查看它；彼得不得不引起祂對無花果樹的注意。信心是完全信靠上帝。
耶穌強調，是信靠上帝才能產生結果。
約翰·G·雷克（John G. Lake）說，禱告方言是他事工的基礎。
路加福音17:6——「信心如芥菜種……」當我們禱告方言時，我們最好帶著信心禱告方言。我們最好凡事都帶著信心。
當我們相信事情已經完成（並且已經領受）時，我們說話的方式就會像是已經完成一樣。我們將會用過去式來說。我們必須說得像它已經完成一樣。信心是移山的。
Q1： 在6月13日至15日於德國法蘭克福舉行的庫里·布萊克（Curry Blake）權能研討會期間，我得知我在南非莫科帕內（Mokopane）的嫂子患有血管性失智症。我在研討會上為她填寫了代禱請求。我還打電話為她禱告，命令疾病和虛弱的靈離開她的身體。上週她被送進了一家養老院的護理單位，因為她失去了清晰說話的能力，當我哥哥不明白時，她對他非常生氣。她的情況嚴重惡化了。我的問題是：我應該繼續命令疾病離開她多久，還是我應該只是相信她正在康復並等待完全康復？我該怎麼辦？
A： 1) 當你為某人服事時，如果症狀一開始惡化，這意味著導致疾病的實體準備離開。它們想在離開前把這個地方（這個人）搞得一團糟。這可能是一件好事（即惡化）。用更大的力量攻擊它。再次命令醫治。當我們說話時，我們是代表基督以祂的權柄說話。再次服事那個人。
* 如果你相信事情已經完成，你說話就會像事情已經完成一樣。
Q2： 上帝命令我們醫治病人嗎？耶穌吩咐祂的門徒趕鬼、醫治病人並傳揚天國。這些神蹟將隨著信的人。
A： 祂絕對有。這是一個命令，而不是建議。在神的國度裡，沒有所謂的「招聘會」。我們不能挑選和選擇我們要順服哪句話。我們要做上帝所寫的話語的行道者。
醫治病人是傳福音的一種方式。醫治是福音的響鈴。這向人們展示了上帝的愛和祂有多麼關懷。
Q3： 在五旬節派中，他們教導如果一個人不會說方言，他就沒有得救。這是真的嗎？如果不是真的，一個人應該如何回應那些相信這是真的的人？
A： 不，不是真的。每一個「-主義」都是一種宗教。說方言只是開始，而不是巔峰。信心是我們重生的證據，而不是方言。
聖靈的洗禮是我們裡面有上帝，祂從我們裡面溢出並圍繞著我們。
Q4： 我們可以隨意運用聖靈的恩賜嗎？
A： 是的。在這裡，「恩賜」是聖靈彰顯自己的方式。如果我們是完全成熟的顯現的上帝之子，這些彰顯會隨著我們的行動而流動。當我們行在祂所賜給我們的並為祂作見證時，這些彰顯就會顯現出來。
