Praying for those with cancer

Brother David Jardine, director of Divine Healing Ministries, has brought out a CD ‘Praying for those with cancer’.

David has been involved in the ministry of divine healing since 1972, so he puts a wealth of experience into this CD.  He makes good practical suggestions about praying for someone whom we know who has cancer; how to pray with them in a non-threatening way, and how those suffering from cancer can pray for themselves.  He gives examples of people for whom he has prayed and who have received healing at all sorts of different levels: some who have been completely healed or gone into remission: others have received great peace, freedom from pain, partial but not full healing, and a whole host of other beneficial results.

David Jardine says, ‘In Divine Healing Ministries the two most common conditions that we are asked to pray for are cancer and depression.  There is hardly a family in the country that has not been touched by cancer.  Our way of praying is a very gentle and effective form of treatment.  It gives relatives and cancer sufferers something positive to do and it will be very beneficial in body, mind and spirit.’

The CD ‘Praying for those with cancer’ lasts 48 minutes and can be obtained from Divine Healing Ministries at the cost of £5.45 (including postage).  You can order the CD by ringing 028 90311532 or through the website:

Training for the Ministry of Divine Healing

Brother David Jardine of Divine Healing Ministries will lead a series of training evenings for those who want to be involved in the ministry of divine healing, or would just like to learn more about it. They will take place in St. Anne’s Cathedral Hall, Belfast on Thursday evenings at 8 pm – October 15 and 29, November 5 and 19.

Each evening Brother Jardine will speak about some principles of divine healing, teach people how to pray for others, do a demonstration of prayer for healing, and in a silent non-threatening way allow people to pray with one another. He himself became involved in this ministry back in 1972. He says that being introduced to the ministry of prayer and the laying-on of hands revolutionised the service he was able to offer to those who are sick or in difficulties.

‘In this ministry,’ Brother Jardine says, ‘we always have a contribution to make, no matter what difficulty is brought to us.’

Seasonal Thoughts from Brother David

The Power of Prayer

One town in Northern Ireland where many churches of different denominations are very strong is Bangor. All over the town there are churches which appear to be thriving with very big congregations.

I cannot help feeling that this is linked to all those years of prayer that went on in Bangor, centered around the Abbey, 1500 years ago. Accounts vary about how long the continuous prayer, twenty-four hours a day, went on. Some say 150 years, others 200 years.

The monks in the Abbey believed that if prayer for Ireland stopped that violencewould break out again. So they carried on unceasingly. I wonder if today we are still reaping the blessing of all that prayer that went on in Bangor fifteen hundred years ago.

Keep No Score of Wrongs

St. Paul tells us that love keeps no score of wrongs. Do we need to take that message more seriously in both communities in Northern Ireland?

Grievances from the past have been remembered, even fostered and used to justify present excesses. Is it time to let go and keep no score of wrongs?

LILY healing resource centre

PLEASE NOTE – the LILY healing resource centre will be temporarily closed until May

 2010 and that we will be  relocating to the ‘Open Hands Centre’ (formerly St Luke’s

 Church) in West Belfast

Reflections from Brother David

Reflections from Brother David on 12^th July, 2009:

 Tension in the community

 There has been a spate of sectarian attacks recently in Northern Ireland by both sections of the community on the other. People, homes, churches, sporting and Orange Halls have been attacked. It would be easy to slip into despair, wondering if this form of tension will ever end. But this is why prayer for revival is so important.

When it comes, and it will come because God has promised, the hearts of people will be changed and these acts of aggravation towards the other community will cease.

 Relieving tension in the community

 I spent some time to-day, a very significant day in the Northern Ireland calendar, praying for revival in this land. I felt the Lord say that, even though we are going to pray seven years, there will be many encouraging signs long before that time is up. When I turned on the television this evening there was an interview with Father Paul Symonds, at an Orange demonstration in Ballymena, speaking very positively about the principles of the Orange Order. I found this very moving and I felt that Paul’s presence there, as a Catholic priest, was an example of the signs of the prayer for revival which we can expect, bringing people together, preparing the ground for revival to come.

Paul tries to reach out the hand to everyone, irrespective of who they are or what they have done. This is surely an example for all of us to follow.

 Prayer for blessing

 I have written before about the need in this country for Protestants to ask God to bless Catholics, and equally for Catholics to bless Protestants. In this way the power of God will really be released.

 Today, as I asked God to bless the Catholic people of this land, I felt Him say that in Northern Ireland each section of the community will be blessed in the proportion to which we ask God to bless the other section.

Reflections for the holiday period from Brother David

The Parades season

I feel that the Lord is saying at this time that He will answer our prayer for revival in a broader way that will bring a blessing to the whole of our society. I know that some people are concerned that the parades this year could spark off serious violence. 

However, I feel the Lord is saying that He will honour the prayer for revival, not just by renewing faith in this land, but by giving us protection over these summer months. Praise God! What a blessing!

Seven Years of Prayer for Revival

On Saturday, 20^th June the seven years of prayer for revival was launched at St Anne’s Cathedral in Belfast. It was a wonderful day and the Cathedral was well-filled throughout the hours of prayer (10.30 am – 3.30 pm).

Every speaker was excellent. We were as well led on that day as I can remember in days or weeks of prayer. The Rev. Dr. Godfrey Brown talked about the 1859 revival. He said that it did not come suddenly. There had been a lot of preparation beforehand in the churches. What did surprise people was the power and impact of the Revival – 100,000 were brought to a new and loving faith.

Seventeen new Presbyterian churches were built. The Church of Ireland Bishop of Down and Conner confirmed 750 in one year instead of the usual 250.

There was a falling crime rate, growth in Sabbath observance, growth in the areas of family love, common courtesy and prayer meetings.

This continued for decades.

Day of Prayer

Our first speaker on the day we launched the seven years prayer for revival was Rev. Jim Rae, former President of the Methodist Church in Ireland.

He said that the purpose of revival is so that God will be glorified. It is not to make great reputations for men.

Revival always involves repentance. Do we need to repent? Do we need to repent of putting our culture before Christ?

Revival is what God does, not what we do. The God-given method of prayer for revival is prayer without ceasing.

“Evangelism affects the other fellow. Revival affects me.” Leonard Ravenhill.

Report from DHM by David Jardine June 09

REPORT FROM DIVINE HEALING MINISTRIES

JUNE 23, 2009

 

In the months of May and June there were two major events in Divine Healing Ministries.  The first was a visit in May by Pastor Hendrick and four members of his church in Cali, Colombia.  The visit was an amazing success.  What made an impact on people was the faith of the Colombians.  When they pray they genuinely expect things to happen.  They attracted good crowds everywhere they went, from St. Anne’s Cathedral, to West Church in Bangor, to the Ulster Temple on the Ravenhill Road, and many other venues.

 

A team from Divine Healing Ministries will visit Colombia in January, 2010, and next May, 2010 Pastor Hendrick will come back on his own.  In the meantime we have promised to pray for the people and country of Colombia, and they are praying for Northern Ireland.  The second major event was the launch of seven years of prayer for revival in this land, in St. Anne’s Cathedral on Saturday, June 20.  There was a very big crowd right throughout the day from 10.30 am until 3.30 pm.  We had spent ten months in preparation, and that was probably why the event went so well.

 

We are asking people to commit themselves for a year at a time, promising to pray a few minutes every day for revival.  A small number will feel called to pray much more intensively.

 

In the course of the next year we will focus on revival in some of our Monday evening healing services.  On Monday, September 28 (8pm) our speaker will be Pastor James McConnell from the Metropolitan Tabernacle.  There will be further revival services just before Christmas on 7 December (when Rev. Jim Rea will speak in St. Anne’s Cathedral), before Easter and next June.  We feel God has been saying to us that if we pray for revival for seven years revival will come at the end of that time.

 

Future events

 

Training events for the team

These will continue in St. Hildas, Seymour Hill on the last Friday of every month.  We are basing our discussion on a set of DVDs produced by Francis MacNutt.

 

Training for those who would like to work with us

The training will take place on five Thursday evenings in October and November in St. Anne’s Cathedral Hall.  For further details ring the office (90311532).

 

Teaching the Prayer of Surrender

This is what I call the most powerful prayer of all.  It has been so important to me that I would like to pass on what I have learnt to others.  There will be two teachings in the Cathedral Hall on Thursdays, October 1 and 8.  For further information call 90311532.

Nigel Mumford from the Diocese of Albany, U.S.A., will visit from February 26, 2010 until March 2.

We need some people to pray unceasingly for our country

 

 

Paul encourages us to pray without ceasing.  All great revivals in history have been brought in by people who have prayed in this way, often for a very long time.  Two sisters, Peggy and Christine Smith, were attributed with playing a major role in bringing in the 1949 revival in the Hebrides.  Peggy was 84 and Christine 82.  One account that I read of the Hebrides revival said they were praying day and night that the Lord would move.

I feel we need a small number of people in this country to pray in this way.  Many of those who join us in praying for revival will only be able to pray for a few minutes every day.  That is a valuable contribution.  But at the same time we also need those who feel called to pray without ceasing for revival.  May the Lord give us some people in this country who will answer that call.

Praising and thanking God

 

I feel that praising God, thanking God is the way of approaching the Lord that is most neglected by His people.  That is certainly true in Northern Ireland.  I remember when Joel Edwards was General Secretary of Evangelical Alliance in the United Kingdom he came over to Northern Ireland to speak.  He said that he could not understand why during the years of the Troubles Christians over here were not down on their knees begging God to end the violence; and then when the cease-fires were called they were not ecstatic in praising God.  I feel that Joel was absolutely right.  The Lord has really blessed this country in recent years, and we have been very weak in thanking Him. I believe that when we are praising God His power is released into that situation.  Instead of taking every blessing for granted, or even allowing our heads to be down, do we need to recover a real spirit of praise and thanksgiving in this land?
