I challenge you to reading ALL of this! This IS the answer!


God in Charge Ministry
Propagate your faith

















It has been estimated that close to 50% of all Christians are suffering from Depression and/or Anxiety. By the year 2020 Depression will become the greatest disability in the world. This year alone over 80 million anti-anxiety prescriptions will be filled. These core healing Scriptures are provided by this Ministry to help in your recovery. We suggest that you print out the Scriptures and Christian affirmations below, go over them a couple of times a day and leave God in Charge of your healing miracles. It’s also a good idea to download the MP3 audio file of this web page so you can listen to it on your i pod or other MP3 player. Listen to this file repeatedly when you want to reprogram your mind and get rid of your negative self-talk. God bless, and may you never be the same again!

Please Note: The following scriptures and promises of God are found in the Bible. It is highly advisable that you read and study the whole Bible so you can understand the context in which the verses were written. Theology and interpretation are left to the discretion of the reader.

If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
(JAMES 1: 5 KING JAMES VERSION)

Spiritual Warfare
If you don't believe that you are at war with an unseen darkness then I recommend that you first read War On The Saints by Jessie Penn-Lewis, with Evan Roberts World Wide Web Edition (Based on Unabridged 1912 Edition.) Why, most Christians do not even know there is a war on. The Church has not dealt with the powers of darkness as an enlightened and united body. Here and there, individuals have been raised up by God to make significant inroads into the vast territory over which the devil holds such undisputed sway. Jessie Penn-Lewis was one of these isolated warriors.

"Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you:"
(1PETER 4:12 KJV)

"For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strong holds;) 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;"
(2 CORINTHIANS 10:3-5 KJV)

"Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. Be self-controlled and alert. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour."
(1 PETER 5:6-8 NEW INTERNATIONAL VERSION)

"Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God;"
(EPHESIANS 6:10-17 KJV)

Spiritual First Aid
"Why art thou cast down, O my soul? and why art thou disquieted within me? Hope thou in God: for I shall yet praise him, who is the health of my countenance, and my God."
(PSALM 42:11 KJV)

"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair; Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;"
(2 CORINTHIANS 4:8-9 KJV)

"These thing I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world."
(JOHN 16:33 KJV)

"Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."
(3 JOHN 1:2 KJV)

"For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
(2 TIMOTHY 1:7 KJV)

"Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you."
(LUKE 1O:19 KJV)

"No weapon that is formed against thee shall prosper; and every tongue that shall rise against thee in judgment thou shalt condemn. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their righteousness is of me, saith the LORD."
(ISAIAH 54:17 KJV)

"Behold, I will bring you health and cure, and I will cure you, and will reveal unto you the abundance of peace and truth."
(JEREMIAH 33:6 KJV)

How to release Supernatural Healing
"Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus."
(PHILIPPIANS 4:6-7 NIV)

"Put me in remembrance: let us plead together: declare thou, that thou mayest be justified."
(ISAIAH 43:26 KJV)

"Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee."
(ISAIAH 26:3 KJV)

"We having the same spirit of faith, according as it is written, I believed, and therefore have I spoken; we also believe, and therefore speak;"
(2 CORINTHIANS 4:13 KJV)



DON’T ASK FOR HEALING; RECEIVE IT AND LET YOUR SICKNESS GO!
►"Jesus, I receive you as my healer."
►"Take my sickness Lord."
►"I am healed by the stripes of Jesus."
►"The God I serve is the God of breakthrough. The Lord will turn it around for me."

"And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you."
(MATTHEW 17:6 KJV)

"Come quickly, LORD, and answer me, for my depression deepens. Don't turn away from me, or I will die."
(PSALM 143:7 NLT)

"Heal me, O Lord, and I WILL BE HEALED; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise."
(JEREMIAH 17:14 KJV)

VISUAL AID: Most followers of Christ are reminded of their salvation by the image they have of Jesus hanging on the cross. A similar image can remind us of our healing. Just picture the back of the cross. There you will see the stripes on Jesus.

"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
(ISAIAH 53:5 KJV)

"Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed."
(1 PETER 2:24 KJV)


REINFORCEMENTS:The prayer of agreement is powerful. Have someone agree with you for your healing!

"Again I say unto you, That if two of you shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father which is in heaven."
(MATTHEW 18:19 KJV)

Obstacles to Healing

LEAP OF FAITH: Do you really believe in Divine Intervention?

"Jesus answered them, I told you, and ye believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me."
(John 10:25 KJV)

"While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal."
(2 CORINTHIANS 4:18 KJV)

"For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty."
(2 PETER 1:16 KJV)


FORGIVENESS (CHARITY/LOVE): The most important deed we can ever do as Christians is to forgive, for how can God ever heal us if we ourselves refuse to do the same?

"Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, even as God in Christ forgave you."
(EPHESIANS 4:31-32 NEW KING JAMES VERSION)

"He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases....He has not punished us for all our sins, nor does he deal with us as we deserve. For his unfailing love toward those who fear him is as great as the height of the heavens above the earth. He has removed our rebellious acts as far away from us as the east is from the west."
(PSALM 103:3, 10-12 NEW LIVING TRANSLATION)

"Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.... And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity."
(1 CORINTHIANS 13:1-8, 13 KJV)

BACKSLIDING (GUILT/CONDEMNATION): Do you mistakenly believe that you are not worthy of redemption? Then rejoice! You see, if you're miserable over a repeated sin, it's because Christ's righteousness is in you objecting to sin. The process of sanctification is perfecting and bringing to full completion the good work started in you. Your flesh is struggling to regain control and may win a few battles but Christ has already won the war. Praise God!

"And I am convinced and sure of this very thing, that He Who began a good work in you will continue until the day of Jesus Christ [right up to the time of His return], developing [that good work] and perfecting and bringing it to full completion in you. "
(PHILIPPIANS 1:6 AMPLIFIED BIBLE)

"...And be sure of this: I am with you always, even to the end of the age."
(MATTHEW 28:20 NLT)

"...Cleanse me from these hidden faults. Keep me from deliberate sins! Don't let them control me. Then I will be free of guilt and innocent of great sin.;"
(PSALM 19:12-13 NLT)

"The Lord redeems the lives of His servants, and none of those who take refuge and trust in Him shall be condemned or held guilty.;"
(PSALM 34:22 AMPLIFIED BIBLE)

SPIRITUAL LEGAL GROUND: Evil spirits must have ground; deliberately given, or obtained by guile. Evil spirits cannot interfere with your faculties unless ground is given. Ground refused to evil spirits is ground retaken for God, e.g., faculties surrendered to evil spirits when released are recovered for God. For more information on this topic read War On The Saints by Jessie Penn-Lewis, with Evan Roberts World Wide Web Edition (Based on Unabridged 1912 Edition.)

I will that my mind shall not be passive.

I will to have full control of, and to use my faculties.

I will to recognize everything that come from evil spirits.

"Lord, destroy all the devil's lies to me."


SALVATION: If you doubt your salvation or never received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, pray this simple prayer.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I recognize that I am in need of salvation. I believe with all my heart that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. I believe he went to the cross and paid the price for my sin through his death. I believe he rose from the dead so that I could be right with him. I now confess with my mouth that I am a sinner, and I ask you Lord for forgiveness. Therefore, I am saved and now a child of God!

Thank you Lord.
Thank you Jesus.

If you prayed this prayer, sincerely from your heart, and have received Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior, please send us an email. We would love to hear from you and rejoice with you. To help you grow in your new Christian life, it is important to begin reading the Bible. You also need to belong to a good, Bible-based church where you can be taught the Word of God. It is also important that you pray every day to your Heavenly Father. Don’t be ashamed to kneel, the Bible says in 1Peter 5:5 "for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble." God Bless
"O God, you are my God. Earnestly I seek you;my soul thirsts for you, my body longs for you, in a dry and weary land where there is no water. I have seen you in the sanctuary and beheld your power and your glory. Because your love is BETTER than life,my lips will glorify you. I will praise you as long as I live, and in your name, I will lift up my hands." Psalms 63

Boom...I need to thank you for your kind words!!!
I, also, need to thank Jesus Christ for saving a wretch like me!!!

I did not earn his love!!! It was given to me as a free gift!!! God's grace is sufficient for all those who believe in their hearts that Jesus died and rose from the dead on that 3rd and appointed morning!!!

I thank God for "salvation" most of all, since, the free gift of the "Holy Spirit" is the most precious gift that anyone could ever receive in this life!!!

I can do all things through Christ Jesus Who strengthens me daily!!! I am more than a conqueror!!!

He has not given me the spirit of fear, but, of love and a sound mind!!!

He will keep in perfect peace all those who trust in HIM!!!

God is good!!! Period!!!

May every living creature glorify the name of the Lord, for He alone is Worthy of all glory, honor and praise!!! Amen and Amen!!!

Have a great day in HIM, who has overcome the world!!! God Bless!!!
