If you were facing a difficult situation today—sickness, financial pressure, a tough business decision, a troubled relationship, or any other challenge—how would you pray?
Would you ask God to fix the situation, to work a miracle? Or would you pray for wisdom?

Most people would pray for a miracle. They want God to deliver them from the problem. And you can be certain of this: God does want you delivered.

We all know we should pray about everything and look for God’s help in our time of need. But what we often forget is that there are many kinds of prayer, and not every type is effective in every situation. Yet God gives us clear instructions for how to pray when we are being tested or tempted.

The Greek word translated “tested” means to be tempted to do evil, tested, examined, or made to strain. Unfortunately, many believers have been taught that God orchestrates these hardships to accomplish some mystical agenda. But the Bible tells us something very different:

Let no one say when he is tempted, tested, tried, scrutinized, or made to strain,  I am tempted by God! (James 1:13).

Under no circumstances should we ever blame God for the struggles we face. He cannot be both the tormentor and the deliverer—He is only one or the other. In fact, Scripture warns that blaming God for our troubles is a form of self-deception:

“Do not be deceived, my beloved brethren. Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and comes down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow of turning” (James 1:16–17). It doesn’t say some of what God does is good; it says everything He does is good.

God not only tells us how to pray when we’re in difficult situations—He even tells us what we should pray for. Yet so often, we ignore His simple, powerful instructions.

Join me this week as I share how the Scriptures teach us to pray when facing life’s struggles. Instead of clinging to religious traditions that rarely bring lasting results, you’ll discover a more excellent way—a way that leads to peace, power, and the perfect outcome God desires for you.

Negative experiences that occur from conception throughout our entire life are buried in our physical body, stored as frequencies, and imprinted onto our cells. These negative experiences are so powerful, they influence the programming of our DNA, thereby shaping and programming our entire life.

Every cell and each organ of the body must vibrate at specific frequencies to maintain optimal health; therefore, exposure to any dissonant frequency can cause serious health problems. Every word, thought, emotion, and feeling has a frequency that either supports health or destroys it.

Unless destructive frequencies are transformed, they lie in wait for our blood! These frequencies are stored as cellular memories that not only undermine the function of healthy cells; they reemerge in the form of feelings that become part of our belief system, even though they were never chosen and may be completely irrational. As feelings, they drive our behavior, dictate our health, and influence every aspect of our life. These buried beliefs are seldom remembered but never go away. They reemerge as feelings that affect the way we think, talk, or act, and make decisions. Since “every seed bears after its own kind,” these subtle feelings drive us in behavior that always produces after its own kind. Until we can change our feelings, our life will be an ever-growing syndrome of more of the same, just as Jesus warned in Mark 4:24-25.

Wisdom for Healing follows the scriptural admonition to seek wisdom when we’re facing difficulties. Wisdom is the practical application of truth to solve the problem. You’ll learn firsthand how to recognize these subtle negative feelings before you act on them. You’ll discover how specific feelings influence specific disease! And you’ll learn powerful tools to use to stop those feelings.

This is your chance to end lifelong negative feelings and transform them into positive, healing, productive feelings. Many of your repeated physical problems will simply disappear as you transform the root feelings that feed them! This program is an absolute must for everyone who intends to live a healthy physical and emotional life!
