Who Has Faith For Healing?
Sent: Friday, August 15, 2008 4:52 PM
Subject: Please pray for Anna
Hello All,
Anna asked me to notify you all for prayer. I gave her Pastor Vitale's cell phone No. The doctor tells her that she has a returning aggressive cancer that is attacking her lungs and other organs. There is a Sloan Kettering Hospital in XXX now and in order to be seen by them she has to get a biopsy to them before hand. She needs this doctor, who she calls laid back, to put her in contact with a doctor who can do that for her immediately. We have prayed and asked for the Lord to bring a divine healing miracle for her and that a good report will come from this. God bless you all. Love....Peter.

Peter,
Thanks so much for telling me about Anna’s condition. I am so sorry to be hearing of the latest news. I will still keep her in my prayers, and she has been on my heart a lot lately as I recently told her.
It’s amazing how much the medical field will slow down your treatment, when her doctor already told her she needs it. What a shame the state of this health system is in.
I pray that the Lord heals her completely.
Love,
Betty.

Betty,
God is in control of everything. If prayers do not speed up the medical community, perhaps the Lord is not in a hurry.
Love, Pastor Vitale.

Hello all,
I am writing to clarify what I said above about the possibility of the Lord not being in a hurry.
Brethren, we are no longer in Pentecost, which provides gifts of healing without repentance.
Either we believe that the Lord is in control of our lives, or we do not believe it.
Either we believe that the medical community is a tool of the Lord Jesus, or we believe that our hope for healing is in the hands of the medical community.
Who in this ministry has faith for healing?
I am telling you, brethren, that the person who gets healed is the person who puts his/her life in the hands of the Lord.
I have been preaching to you all for years now that the way to get healed is to put your life in the hands of the Lord, MAKE HIM NUMBER 1 IN YOUR LIFE – EVEN MORE IMPORTANT THAN FAMILY – AND TO SERVE HIM.
When, God forbid, someone gets a report like Anna received, THE FIRST THING YOU SHOULD DO, is ask the Lord if He is willing to grant you life.
Do you know that only the Lord can give life, and only the Lord can take it away?
Have you learned, yet, from all of my preaching, that disease and death are JUDGMENTS FROM GOD?
Who has heard one word that I have been preaching with all my strength for years now?
What is the first thing that you do when you are in trouble?
Does anyone know? Has anyone heard me?
You ask the Lord 1) Why has this affliction come upon me? 2) Is there anything I have done that I should not have done? 3) Is there anything that I should have done that I did not do?
To ask for a miraculous healing without taking any responsibility for our condition is TO ASSUME THAT WE ARE SATAN’S INNOCENT VICTIM. Such an assumption is a manifestation of arrogant pride, which the Lord has tolerated in Pentecost FOR A SEASON – BUT THAT SEASON IS OVER for everyone who has heard the Doctrine of Christ.
Rom 5:12
12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: KJV
I, your pastor, have been snatched from the hands of death multiple times – as you all should know by now.
For those of you who still are not hearing me, I NEVER ONCE ASKED THE LORD TO PERFORM A MIRACLE WITHOUT GIVING A REASON FOR MY REQUEST.
1. Lord, please let me live to raise my child – this does not apply to Anna. Her children are grown.
2. Lord, Satan has been trying to take me out since I was 12 years old. After all you have done to keep me alive all these years that I was dying, will you let Satan now say, “aha, aha, her God has failed her. She has descended into a pit and she will not come out.” Arise, oh God FOR YOUR OWN NAME’S SAKE – do not let death prevail over me. This does not apply to Anna.
3. Lord, I have A PERSONAL WORD FROM YOU that you will heal me. You are the God of the universe and YOU CANNOT LIE. This does not apply to Anna because she does not have a personal Word that she will live.
4. In 1990, the last time that death tried to take me, my communication was the simplest of all: Lord, are you really going to let me die?
NOW, LISTEN TO ME, ALL OF YOU WHO HOPE TO LIVE…………………..
The Lord answered me with one short sentence by which He revealed the foundational sin of my fallen personality to me. I WAS SHOCKED!!! But by the grace of God, I MADE A GENERAL REPENTANCE.
My PHYSICAL deliverance began the next day.
My spiritual deliverance started when I BELIEVED THE LORD concerning my sin, and continued when I began to see HIS TRUTH for myself, and began to make serious efforts, by His power, to change. This process is on-going in my life, and will continue until I come into perfection.
2 Kings 1:2-4
2 And Ahaziah fell down through a lattice in his upper chamber that was in Samaria, and was sick: and he sent messengers, and said unto them, Go, inquire of Baal-zebub [Sheila: the medical community] the god of Ekron whether I shall recover of this disease.
3 But the angel of the LORD said to Elijah the Tishbite, Arise, go up to meet the messengers of the king of Samaria, and say unto them, Is it not because there is not a God in Israel, that ye go to inquire of Baal-zebub the god of Ekron? [Sheila: the medical community]
4 Now therefore thus saith the LORD, [Sheila: because you asked the doctors if you will live or die instead of the Lord] Thou shalt not come down from that bed on which thou art gone up, but shalt surely die.
And Elijah departed. KJV
Now, brethren, I want you all to know that I have spoken to Anna, and confirm to you
1. That her faith is in the Lord and not in the doctors.
2. She has confessed areas of her life in which she has been remiss concerning the Lord, one of which has been idolatry for her family (putting her family before the Lord, and His Will in her life).
3. We have prayed together and humbly asked the Lord to permit her to fulfill the call on her life.
Brethren, this is grow-up time. The minute the Lord joins your soul to HIM through the Doctrine of Christ, YOU DEPART FROM PENTECOST.
Anyone whose soul is joined to The Lord through a knowledge of the Truth (the Doctrine of Christ) and continues to think and pray as if he/she were still in Pentecost, takes their life in their own hands, rather than putting it in the hands of the Lord.
I encourage anyone who has prayed Pentecostal prayers for Anna by asking the Lord to miraculously heal her without a confession of sin, and without a suggestion of how such a miracle would glorify the LORD, to repent, and to pray as a Son of God would pray:
Father, in the Name of Jesus:
1. We pray for Anna’s life.
2. We ask that you reveal your Will to her.
3. We ask that you show her, her sins.
4. We ask that you reveal to her what you require of her.
5. We ask that you help her to perform whatever you require of her.
6. We ask that you forgive her sins.
7. We ask that you permit her to live so that she may fulfill the call on her life.
8. We ask that you permit her to live so that your Name should be glorified.
9. We ask that you permit her to live so that your mercy and greatness should be published in the earth.
EVERYONE – WAKE UP! GROW UP! DEPART FROM THE FALSE AND ERRONEOUS TEACHING OF PENTECOST! DEPART FROM THE THEORY OF SONSHIP AND START TO LIVE IN THAT NEW WORLD (SONSHIP) THAT YOU HAVE BEEN GRANTED PERMISSION TO ENTER INTO!
THEORY IS JUST THAT – THEORY! THE SPIRITUAL WORLD THAT YOU LIVE IN IS WHO YOU ARE.
WHO ARE YOU?
1. A KINDERGARTEN STUDENT WHO STILL BELIEVES IN MONSTERS WHO EAT SMALL CHILDREN, AND SANTA CLAUSE, OR
2. A SON OF GOD WHO KNOWS THAT HUMANITY IS UNDER A CURSE OF DEATH FROM JEHOVAH, HIMSELF, AND THAT ONLY THE TRUTH WILL SET US FREE.
*******Anna, after placing her life in the hands of the Lord, will continue to seek medical help from her doctor.
God bless you, brethren,
Love in Christ,
Pastor Vitale.

I am in full agreement with this teaching and much needed teaching it spoke loud and clear to my heart. For it took me a long time to understand that I am not Satan's innocent victim and that the Lord is in control. For I too am guilty of the idolatry of my family and the things of this world may His will be done in all our lives for all is in His hands
Thank you Pastor Vitale for this wonderful truth

Pastor Vitale,
Thank you so much for all the information and instruction to us, line by line above and I appreciate your continuous efforts to help me over and over again. I also confess the idolatry plus the pride in my life and want to make the change, through the help of the Lord, and am willing and purpose to put the Lord first in my life and serve Him.
I repent for any of the Pentecostal prayers I prayed for anyone, and I prayed the proper prayer for Anna as shown.
Thank you again
Love XXX
