        (From James Stacey: scriptural advice and insight on how to be set free from schizophrenia)

                                           HOW FASTING ADDED TO PRAYER AIDS THE 
                                    BREAKTHROUGH TO FREEDOM OF SCHIZOPHRENIA

THIS WEEK’S SELECTED BIBLE READING IS MATTHEW CHAPTER 9 Key Verses:14-17
Then John’s disciples came and asked him, “How is that we and the Pharisees fast, but your disciples do not fast?” Jesus answered, “How can the guests of the bridegroom mourn while he is with them? The time will come when the bridegroom will be taken from them; then they will fast. No-one sews a patch of unshrunk cloth on an old garment, making the tear worse. Neither do men pour new wine into old wineskins. If they do, the skins will burst, the wine will run out and the wineskins will be ruined. No, they pour new wine into new wineskins, and both are preserved.”

Fasting is a higher level of intensity of prayer which many Christians who do not suffer from schizophrenia may never or seldom carry out. So what hope is there of a believer in Jesus with the deepest psychotic disorder of all venturing into this spiritual discipline? Every hope - though it may be a long time in coming – if you have reached the place of desperation in God in your daily fight to become free allowing the Holy Spirit to teach you about prayer and pray through you.

As more light and revelation is received from the Holy Spirit leading you into all truth, more power is given to challenge the darkness of the demonic condition of schizophrenia. This is in spite of prayer being an uphill battle in your struggle to reach the freedom in Jesus. You have a spiritual fight on maintaining your sanity.

Even though you may be unable to fast at the moment that is not to say that it will be always out of your reach. In response to moving into a living, active and conscious faith in Jesus, you are already qualified to ask, seek and knock at Heaven’s door. If ever fasting was added to your prayer life, it would release a power supply of God’s spirit your way which would accelerate your freedom out of schizophrenia.

Notice, there is a School of Prayer. Ruth Graham, the late wife of Billy Graham, used to say: “There is no way to learn to pray but to pray.” How true!! And there is no way to advance in the school of prayer but by praying. The more you move into God’s presence and meet with him, the more you grow in the ways of prayer. It’s a lifetime pursuit.

Message of Hope for 2010

Where does the power come from to defeat schizophrenia? Because this deepest of psychotic bondages is a demonic darkness at its best, a spiritual answer from Jesus Christ, the only Saviour of the world, is required. The well-tried but failed medical solution will not do!!

Gates of bronze and bars of iron shackling the mind can only be torn asunder by the Holy Son of God who alone has the power to lead someone into FREEDOM.

If you are suffering from schizophrenia take heart that Jesus is ready, willing and waiting to snap the chains that bind you. But first you must receive Him and enter into a meaningful relationship with Him through faith. He died on the Cross in YOUR PLACE to forgive YOU of your sin and impart eternal life to YOU. "For God so loved the world the He gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes inHim shall not perish but have eternal life." (John's Gospel Chapter 3 verse 16).

Many born-again Christian schizophrenics are gallantly persevering in praying through to freedom and you can be among that number as the living presence of Jesus, imparted to you when you receive Him, fortifies you with power within your spirit to break free!!

And be quick to enlist the help of others ready to pray with you and support your inward groanings for freedom. Write to us and we with God's help will intercede as the Spirit of the Lord enables us.

May 2010 be your year of entering into the freedom offered and imparted by Jesus.... a freedom which is life's best. (See John's Gospel Chapter 8 verse 32)

Extract from "There is hope for the schizophrenic"

Chapter 16 of Schizophrenia Defeated:

Click here for full chapter.

As my testimony has shown, I had the presence of the Holy Spirit in my life before my illness went into full bloom in my early twenties. Without that power I would have been unable to fight the evil presence of schizophrenia.

I also had a tremendously long period after healing and deliverance had taken place to allow myself to "catch up" on 26 years in which I had not developed and grown normally.

BUT GOD DID IT! The years after healing and deliverance were times of slow but definite progress, requiring most of all a dependency on the Holy Spirit to teach, correct, inspire and show those things I needed to know. I needed Tina's help too, and the prayers of friends, to get me there.

Read three extracts from the book

For 26 long years, I was enslaved in a schizophrenic mental prison house until in 1990 Jesus Christ delivered me and two minutes later healed my mind. It took a further 12 years to return to life as I knew it before the illness dawned in 1964.

In 2004, I released my life story, Schizophrenia Defeated, detailing a long, hard prayer battle into freedom in order to give hope, new understanding of the disease and a new strategy to unlock the gates of insanity of this invisible enemy.

It is our prayer that as you view our site, you will sense something of the compassion of Jesus which fills our hearts and lives to spread the message that His love and power can still bring His glorious freedom TODAY no matter how helpless and hopeless you may feel life has become.

Jesus still restoring natural life
after over 19 years of established healing

The effects and benefits of deliverance and healing were both immediate and immense. Not only was my mind set free, but also my locked-up emotions and the straitjacket around my body dropped off. I felt no restrictions to begin such things like gardening, where the thought of doing the work before was actually more tiring than the work itself. I no longer needed to employ someone to dig over my garden, such a small area that it had become something of a joke with one or two friends, that I needed to engage someone to do the work for me. But in the past, digging had proved a problem to me as I lacked the physical strength. It was far easier for me to ask a gardener to come and do the work while I wrote articles for the New Life newspaper and paid him for his time and effort from the earnings received. Excerpt from "Delivered and Healed Within Minutes", Chapter 9, page 88

     

 NEWS FLASH 

This man from India was recently delivered from spirits of insanity which kept him bound for 35 years. He would walk around with sandals on his head and often drink his own urine. A Christian met his son and went to his house and shared the gospel. As he prayed for him, God touched him, and delivered and healed him completely. Now he is a happy man.
Praise Jesus!!

   

“The Spirit of the Lord is on me, because he has anointed me to preach good news to the poor.  He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners and recovery of sight for the blind, to release the oppressed, to proclaim the year of the Lord’s favour”.    Luke 4 verse 18

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And it shall come to pass that whosoever shall call
on the name of the Lord shall be delivered (Joel 2:32)

Why do not I call on His name? Why do I run to this neighbour and that when God is so near and will hear my faintest call? Why do I sit down and devise schemes and invent plans? Why not at once roll myself and my burden upon the Lord?

Straightforward is the best runner – why do not I run at once to the living God?
In vain shall I look for deliverance anywhere else; but with God I shall find it; For here I have His royal shall to make it sure. I need not ask whether I may call on Him or not, for that word “Whosoever” is a very wide and comprehensive one. Whosoever means me, for it means anybody and everybody who calls upon God. I will therefore follow the leading of the text, and at once call upon the glorious Lord who has made so large a promise.

My case is urgent, and I do not see how I am to be delivered; but this is no
business of mine. He who makes the promise will find ways and means of keeping it. It is mine to obey His commands; it is not mine to direct His counsels. I am His servant, not His solicitor. I call upon Him, and He will deliver.
