Winter 2005: Other Significant Articles
Jim Montgomery, “Incarnating Jesus Christ includes the Supernatural” Dawn Report 54 (June 2004), pages 1-2.
Jim Montgomery, founder of DAWN (Discipling A Whole Nation), writes: “While the west sees only occasional sprinkles of the miraculous power of God, much of the rest world is experiencing a downpour. To truly live out the life of Christ in a community we cannot ignore this fundamental aspect of his ministry on earth.” Montgomery goes on to chronicle numerous examples of the supernatural ministry of the Spirit revealing Jesus to people around the world.
James R. Hall, “When Healing Doesn’t Come: People who live with chronic illness or physical challenges need compassion, not condemnation” Charisma (July 2004), pages 56-57.
Trusting God to be faithful while taking a journey through chronic illness is not any easier when would-be counselors tell you it must be your fault. “Full gospel” pastor James Hall says that “a disabled person needs encouragement and understanding more than anything else” (page 57). Encouragement is particularly needed when prayed-for healing does not come quickly and God’s answers seem distant.
In the sidebar, “When Sickness Hits . . . TRUST GOD” by Chris Maxwell, believers are admonished to be honest with God by using a journal and making David’s Psalms personal. “Your honest writing isn’t negative confession. It allows God to turn your mourning into dancing.”
