“Now the just shall live by faith…” (Hebrews 10:38)

here's more to life than science and all its discoveries. There's a reality in the Word of God that's beyond science and the senses. Science is what man has been able to get from the effective use of his senses, but there're realms beyond the senses.

The Bible says we “…look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen; for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal” (2 Corinthians 4:18). You must live as a man or woman of faith every day, by disregarding temporal circumstances and focusing on As new creations in Christ Jesus, we rule the world the eternal realities of our heavenly Kingdom. through faith! The opening Scripture tells us that the just Remember, without faith, it is impossible to please God shall live by faith. Christianity is a life of faith and the (Hebrews 11:6). Word of God teaches us that faith is the victory that overcomes the world (1 John 5:4). We reign over Through study and meditation on the Word, your faith circumstances and dominate the forces of nature by the grows and prevails; your focus, therefore, must always power of the Spirit and the force of righteousness. be on God's Word, and not on the circumstances. Refuse to be moved by what you feel, or what your senses tell If you're born again, you're born of the Spirit and are you. therefore required to walk in the Spirit; that means living the Word and seeing only from God's perspective. Your Man became a slave to his senses through Adam's outlook on life should be from the standpoint of faith, the transgression; his spirit became subject to his senses. standpoint of the Word. For example, when we 'lay our Romans 8:8 tells us that those who are controlled by hands' on the sick, terminal sicknesses and diseases their senses – the flesh – cannot please God. But thanks dematerialize! Through the power of the spoken Word, be unto God; the ninth verse says, “But ye are not in the we dissolve cancer, open blind eyes, and unstop deaf flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God ears! We're like Jesus Christ, who was an intrusion into dwell in you…” the physical realm! When He stepped in, things changed.

God's Word was given to us, not only to There's a system in this world with tests, trials and inform us and educate us about spiritual things, but for us temptations that we must overcome on a daily basis, to use and to live the supernatural life. That life is beyond and our faith is what guarantees our victory. this world. Hallelujah!

The beauty of the Lord radiated from many faces as people from various nations and different places converged for the first healing service of the 2017 Autumn Session in Johannesburg, South Africa. Students, visiting ministers, partners and other invited guests shared one thing in common – the desire to witness and experience the extraordinary. Many had long awaited this day, when their questions would be answered and their problems brought to naught. Sharing her expectations for a divine touch from God at this meeting, Bezait from the United Arab Emirates said, “I'm fully expectant that after the man of God ministers to me, I will be free from all fear, pain and sickness. Today is the day of signs and wonders, and I will receive my miracle, just like everyone else here.” The Healing School auditorium was abuzz with excitement as the service commenced. Uplifting songs of praise and glory filled the arena as thousands worshiped in perfect rapture. Making power available for the miraculous through fervent and earnest prayers, the congregants had the atmosphere charged with the anointing. Wonder and delight were the evident expressions as former students came up the stage, one after another, to testify of the great and mighty things that had taken place in their lives since their time at the Healing School. Faith increased as the testimonies continued to pour in. Truly, the Lord is gracious and kind, and His mercies are unending. First amongst those to testify was Safa Raie, a 52-year-old woman who, prior to attending the Healing School, had suffered from urticaria and was allergic to so many foods. Mistakenly ingesting anyone of them meant a hurried trip to the emergency room. To Safa, this wasn't just a limitation, she felt deprived of the quality of life she would have desired. Needing a transformation, she came to the Healing School where one touch from God changed her situation. Safa was all smiles as she testified saying, “I can eat anything now, and it's not just that I received my healing, I received my life back, and it is full of the miraculous.” Anticipation peaked as others shared their testimonies of divine healing at the Healing School. Soon, ecstatic shouts filled the arena as the man of God, Pastor Chris Oyakhilome, arrived in the auditorium and began to minister to the sick with power and the anointing of the Holy Ghost. Running, jumping, shouting, screaming and crying, the students rejoiced for their miracles. This newfound happiness, this moment of restoration and release was what they had desired for a long time.

Stroke, dysesthesia, and pain in the hips, knees and spine made life very difficult for Rommel Lukanko for five years. The pain made it difficult for him to walk or stand for long periods. He tried various medications over the years, but nothing worked. He came to the Healing School believing that God would make him whole. After the ministration, Rommel knew that his problems were over. He fell under the power of the Holy Ghost and when he got up, there was total relief from all pain. “I'm healed!” Rommel proclaimed as he ran around the hall.

For thirty-one years, Grace Nolani suffered severe headaches, fatigue, vision problems, breathing difficulties, chest pain, irregular heartbeat and several other symptoms as a result of hypertension. Seeking restoration and a new lease of life, she came to the Healing School. The liberation that she desired came when she received that one touch from God. Grace has newfound peace in her heart, and in her own words, “I feel much calmer than I have in years.”

It was an amazing sight to behold as cancers, tumors, migraines, diabetes, heart disorders, HIV and a myriad of ailments and diseases disappeared at the mention of the Name of Jesus! The people watched in awe and amazement as many demonstrated their healing, doing things they couldn't do before. Praise to the name of the Lord was on every lip as all celebrated the remarkable manifestations of the Spirit. As Pastor Chris finished ministering to the sick, he charged the congregation with the Word, emphasizing that the Christian ought to resist the devil and his wiles. He said, “Just because Satan has no right to touch God's property doesn't mean he won't try to. It's your job to stop him.” He further admonished the brethren to be caretakers of their bodies. “Treat your body well. Make it rest when it needs to. Don't stress it unnecessarily. Give it the right food. Drink a lot of water,” he expatiated. The man of God specially recognized and warmly greeted guest ministers who were in South Africa for the Ministers' Visitation Program. He also thanked partners of the Healing School for their immense contributions to the fulfillment of God's work. Afterwards, he made a call for those unsaved to receive Jesus Christ as their Lord and many came forward, eager to become partakers of everlasting life. This glorious service ended with Pastor Chris declaring words of blessings upon the congregation. All were glad at the marvelous things they had witnessed and they knew that their lives would never be the same again. What a blissful encounter of the fullness of divinity and grace.

Pastor Ayo and Stella Thomas are ardent, committed partners of the Healing School. Over the years, they have grown in their Christian walk and have many wonderful testimonies resulting from their partnership. Pastor Stella shares: “We thank our father, Reverend Chris Oyakhilome, for the rare privilege and honor to be partners of the Healing School. We've recorded several praise reports by reason of our partnership. We've visited the Healing School on various occasions and we can see the mighty hand of God at work in the lives of many people through our man of God. Partnership with the Healing School is our lifestyle, and we consider ourselves as God's tools for taking healing to the nations. “Some years ago, we were told we couldn't have children. It was our fight of faith; we called our partnership to remembrance and prevailed with the Word of God. Now, we have three beautiful children, to the glory of God. “When our youngest child was conceived, there were several complications and the doctors told us I would be unable to deliver the child because of fibroids. Every day, we spoke the Word and anchored our faith on the security of our partnership. Our daughter was born naturally without any complications. She is almost a year old now, and she is evidence that the Word of God works.” In addition, Pastor Ayo says, “the importance of partnership cannot be overemphasized. We are convinced of the potency of our partnership, so whenever challenges come, it is our opportunity to give more. That's our answer. As we keep giving, our health is secured and we continually have more testimonies. “Partnership with the Healing School should become your lifestyle. As you partner, you're investing in the lives of others, and God takes care of His own. Partner today, and you will see the remarkable difference it will make in your life.” To partner with the Healing School, visit www.enterthehealingschool.org/partnership or call any of these numbers: +27 11 326 2467, +27 799 675 852, +27 799 675 853, +234 808 684 4104, +234 808 027 2995, +234 808 678 3344, +1 416 747 7979, +1 855 328 7979.

elvin Kudakwashe, 25, was full of visions for his future. He had his whole life ahead of him. Then everything changed when he began to notice strange symptoms in his body. Over a period of four years, he consulted many doctors, but despite the various tests and medical examinations, there was no clear diagnosis. The condition persisted for many years, and it affected his education and everything around him. His body continued to deteriorate until he could no longer do anything for himself. Hoping for a miracle that would give him back his life, Kelvin found his way to the Healing School. He tells his inspiring story. “It all started in 2012 with me losing balance when walking. I would be on the road and my legs would just give way. I went to the first doctor who said it might be high blood pressure, but the drugs that he prescribed didn't work,” Kelvin says. This was the beginning of many trips to the hospital for Kelvin. He narrates, “Between 2012 and 2016, I did many tests: MRI scans, CT scans… one doctor even recommended a psychiatric evaluation, which I did. There were several diagnoses, followed by different medications and treatments. Still, there were no positive results and I didn't know exactly what was wrong with me.” By January 2016, Kelvin's situation had worsened considerably; he had become enfeebled, and he found he was unable to help himself in any way. “I couldn't do things for myself. I couldn't bathe or dress myself, and I couldn't climb the stairs. I even stopped going to school. When I tried to walk, it was very tedious and I moved as slowly as a tortoise. I couldn't sit for a long time, and I only slept on my left side. There was so much pain. I went for another MRI scan that January, and that was when the lumbar disc degeneration was detected. I

looked for many different solutions; I went to different places and tried alternative treatments, but nothing worked,” he explains. Unable to help himself in any way, Kelvin became dependent on others and had to make use of a wheelchair. He talks about how this affected him, “being in that condition made me very sad and angry. I was emotionally down and I cried a lot at the circumstances of my life. I would cry with frustration when I needed assistance and nobody was available. I would get upset when I saw the way people looked at me with pity on the streets.” It was at this time that Kelvin’s friend told him about the Healing School. Inspired by the testimonies he had heard, he was assured that this would be the end to his problems. “I was scheduled to travel to India for

treatment before I heard about the Healing School. The surgery I was to undergo had a fifty-fifty chance of success, but the Healing School was one hundred percent guaranteed. So, I made my decision.” Kelvin was brought to the Healing School in a wheelchair. In spite of his dire condition, Kelvin's heart was full of faith and he came with deep expectations for the miraculous. He recounts: “When I came to the Healing School, the changes started to happen, even while I was still in classes. The day of the healing service, I knew that my life would be changed forever. “The man of God, Pastor Chris, was ministering to a lady beside me when I started shaking. I was very eager for what the Holy Spirit was about to do in my life. Pastor came to me and laid hands on my back and forehead. The power of God was so strong and I felt a lot of energy inside me. I got up from the wheelchair and ran like never before.” In that instant, Kelvin's life was turned around. Barely a year after that blessed experience, he returns to the Healing School with a glorious testimony on his lips and thanksgiving in his heart. “I thank the Lord for the divine healing and restoration,” he says. “I am strong and healthy now. I've returned to School and I minister the Gospel on campus now. I can walk, stand or sit for as long as I want. “We went for a camp meeting, the drive was about 400km, and I sat down the whole way. When we got

there, I climbed up and down the hill without any problem. I can do anything now. I can drive. I can turn my neck in any direction, and I sleep any way I want.” Full of gratitude, Kelvin gives his thanks to the partners of the Healing School, “Thank you very much, esteemed partners. I came to the Healing School and all the things I received were free. I too have become a partner, and I will continue to grow in my partnership.” God has filled his mouth with laughter and Kelvin now lives his life with new assurance, renewed purpose and joy. He has a word for those who desire to be healed of their infirmities, “It doesn't matter the situation, your response is what matters. Today is your day, make the decision today and you will never be the same again. I congratulate you in advance on your miracle.” The Healing School Summer Session in Toronto, Canada, will hold in the month of August 2017 and it will be a time for the manifestation of miracles. So many who have searched for prevailing cures for their health conditions will experience a fresh wave of the anointing, and God's healing power will set them free from things that have held them in bondage. Everyone is welcome to participate in this extraordinary, timely session that will undoubtedly transform more lives for the best and to the glory of God!

ocated just below your ribcage on either side of your spine are your kidneys. These two bean-shaped organs, though no larger than your fist, constitute a vital part of maintaining the proper functioning of your body. The primary role of the kidneys is the removal of harmful substances, waste products and excess fluids from the body through the urine (production of which involves excretion and re-absorption). This process is necessary to maintain a stable balance of body chemicals and fluids. The kidneys also perform the critical function of regulating the body's salt, potassium and acid levels. In addition, the kidneys produce hormones that affect the function of other organs. For instance, erythropoietin – a hormone produced by the kidneys – determines the rate of red blood cell production. The kidneys also use calcitriol, an active form of vitamin D for the absorption of calcium, thereby promoting strong, healthy bones. Another hormone produced by the kidneys is renin which helps regulate blood pressure. TIPS TO PREVENTING KIDNEY DISEASES To keep your kidneys healthy and functioning normally, here are a few tips. 1. Don't smoke. The warning that smokers are liable to die young isn't just a cliché. They have a higher risk for various types of cancers, kidney and heart diseases, high blood pressure and other health complications. So, be good to your body and stop smoking. 2. Stop or reduce alcohol intake. Too much alcohol can inhibit the kidneys' ability to filter harmful substances from the blood and maintain fluid balance. Alcohol also dehydrates the body, which affects the normal operation of cells and organs. If you must drink, don't overindulge; the occasional drink or two should be okay. 3. Watch your weight. Roughly seventy percent of people over the age of twenty are either overweight or obese. Being overweight can cause serious health problems, including kidney disease and kidney failure. Watch that waistline. 4. Eat right. Good nutrition is key to good health. A balanced diet is important for everyone. What type of food you eat and its quantity affects the way you feel and how your body works. Avoid food with too much salt, because it affects your body's sodium balance, which in turn affects the kidneys' functions. 5. Exercise. Anyone can exercise, irrespective of age or physical condition. You just have to carefully select the appropriate exercise based on your activity level. Walking, swimming, climbing stairs, doing household chores or gardening are easy options to stay active. Benefits include maintaining a healthy weight, prevention of kidney and heart diseases, better sleep, etc. 6. Be Vigilant. Pay attention to labels when taking packaged foods or medications. Especially for medications, follow all instructions precisely as taking the wrong dosage may increase the risk of acute kidney failure.

“Behold, I give unto you power to tread on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of the enemy: and nothing shall by any means hurt you” (Luke 10:19). As a child of God, your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost (1 Corinthians 6:19), which means your body isn't yours; it's owned by God. However, you are the one to keep watch over your body and keep it in health. You're the one to exercise authority over your body, keeping it free of sickness, disease and infirmity. The words of Jesus in our opening verse should let you know that you're not ordinary; you have the right to tell your body how it should feel. Tell your body what to do, and it'll respond. Jesus said in Mark 11:23 that you shall have what you say. Don't permit in your body anything that isn't consistent with God's Word for your life; take charge and rule over your body. When you perceive the symptoms of sickness in your body, reject them. They only become real when you say they are. Your words aren't empty; what you say comes to pass. Therefore, talk to your body always. Don't say, “I have a growth in my stomach and it's hurting so bad. The doctor says it's cancer,” Don't talk about the growth; talk to it instead. Tell the pain to cease, and tell your body to function rightly in line with the life of Christ that's in your spirit. Christ literally lives in you! He dwells in your spirit and expresses Himself through your physical body. Your consciousness of this reality makes it easy for you to exercise dominion over your body against sickness, disease and infirmity.

CONFESSIONS The Spirit of God vitalizes every fiber of my being! The God-life in me destroys sickness, disease and infirmities! I'm healthy and strong! Only the life and nature of Christ – His beauty and glory – are manifested in my physical body, because He perambulates in me, through the Holy Spirit. Hallelujah! I live above the systems of this world because the greater One lives in me! I'm not subject to the elements of the world, and my life is a testimony of God's greatness. Divine might is at work in me; my strength is renewed daily, causing me to triumph over sickness and infirmity. I refuse to be moved by what I feel, or what my senses tell me. I refuse to let my feelings dictate the circumstances of my life. Any symptoms I perceive are lying vanities because the life of God is in me and working through me. Therefore, sickness has no place in my body. I thank you, Lord, for Your life that's at work in me, in every fiber of my being, in every cell of my blood and in every bone of my body. My whole being is immune to death, decay and the corrupting influences in the world! My path is the path of life, righteousness, joy, gladness and peace forevermore. Christ is my life; in Him I live and move and have my being. I've been delivered from sin, sickness and death, and catapulted into God's realm of abundant life. My body is the temple of the Holy Ghost; therefore, I am 'uninfectable'. Hallelujah!
