“Listen to the glad shouts of victory in the tents of God’s people: The LORD’s mighty power has done it!” (Psalm 118:15 GNB)

hapter six of the Book of Joshua tells us how the walls of Jericho fell down lat for the children of Israel to go in and take over the city. They didn’t need cranes or heavy duty equipment to crumble the walls; they did it with a shout! Read the inspiring account in Joshua 6:2-5; they had wanted to go into Jericho, but the wall prevented them, for they were too high and too thick. However, God gave them an instruction. He didn’t instruct them to pray, or beg. All He asked them to do was to march round the wall without saying anything, and then give a shout at the appointed time. What followed was breathtaking: the walls fell down lat. There’s something about our shout in the Holy Ghost; it’s not ordinary. When people haven’t received the Holy Spirit, that’s when things like this mystify them. If you go to a church where they never shout, something is surely missing: it’s the power of the Holy Ghost. Once the Holy Ghost gets anywhere, the shout of a king is there; He announces His presence.
Recall what happened on the day of Pentecost: the day the Holy Spirit began His dispensation with the Church. The Bible says, “And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it illed all the house where they were sitting” (Acts 2:2). Notice the description: the sound was as of a rushing mighty wind, and it illed the whole house where they were sitting. The Holy Spirit announced His presence with a loud sound! Were they quiet afterwards? No! Acts 2:4 says, “And they were all illed with the Holy Ghost, and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.” When the Holy Ghost comes into your life, irrespective of how quiet you were before, it makes no diference; you can’t be quiet anymore. I don’t mean to say you become loquacious; I’m talking about the power of the Spirit stirred in you to shout and airm the Word with boldness. It’s not a shout of pandemonium, or fright, but the shout of a king; the victory shout! 02 | The Healing School Magazine

he Healing School is a unique place, where the very atmosphere is alive with the manifested presence of the Holy Spirit. In this Year of the Supernatural, we had many amazing programs at various points. Two editions of the Healing School Online Prayer Conference held in the months of March and July, with over twenty-nine million people from many countries and territories convened to make power for change available by praying and interceding for the sick, especially those who would attend the Healing School sessions.
T
The programs were marvelous times of prayer and fellowship with the Spirit, with inspiring exhortations and testimonies. Highlighting the impact of the partners’ prayers over the years, a few of those who had been healed at the Healing School sessions were on set to testify of how they became free of diverse debilitating diseases, and how their miracles have become a tool for reaching the world with the message of Jesus Christ. The Conference was punctuated with special ministrations in songs of faith and airmation and all participants joined in the rapturous moments of praise and worship. In special segments with guest ministers present in the live studio, the participants were admonished through the Word of God on prayer, particularly on interceding for the sick and the signiicance of joining forces with the Healing School through prayer. Having been inspired by the testimonies, and ired 04 | The Healing School Magazine
up to reorder the courses of many lives with their faith-illed words, millions of people prayed earnestly and fervently. The power of God was directed into many homes, cities and nations, and there was a total turnaround as the attendees, led by the Spirit, prayed for the sick, and also about the success of the Healing School Sessions, and other concerns. At the climax, the ministers prayed for those whose prayer requests had been received. Those were blissful moments, when burdens were rolled away, pains removed, decrees pronounced for supernatural interventions and words of knowledge released concerning many in dire health circumstances. The miracles happened as speedily as the words were spoken with power. The extraordinary move of the Spirit was manifested in healings, miracles and testimonies across the nations. Hope from the United Kingdom said, “A lump in my throat disappeared immediately we began praying.” Boris from Switzerland testiied thus, “When one of the pastors prayed against the spirit of epilepsy, my body was shocked and I felt the spirit of epilepsy leave me. Glory to God!” “Last year, my father was diagnosed with cancer; he’d begun giving up on life and preparing himself for death. During the Prayer Conference, I sent in a prayer request for my father. Six days later, he got new test results–he is cancer-free! My father is healed,” reported Ashley Smith from Canada. Sam from the United Kingdom testiied of little Jiana Matthew’s healing, “During the Conference, I sent in a prayer request for oneyear-old Jiana Matthew. She was born with a liver problem, and diagnosed with biliary atresia at birth. This meant she had no gall bladder and bile didn’t low into the gut from the liver. Her liver had become cirrhotic and her tummy was big due to the large liver and spleen. She was scheduled for an operation to replace the liver. While praying concerning the requests that had come in for the Conference, Evang. (Dr) Eddy Owase mentioned that a little girl had been healed. I knew it was Baby Jiana! The girl is now healed! Her stomach started shrinking day by day. She had even developed an umbilical hernia due to the swelling, but this has disappeared. Glory to God!” Rabbie Owusu-Yaw testiied of healing for her family: “I thank God for my son’s healing; my husband is healed of shoulder pain, I am healed of thyroid dysfunction, and my cousin is healed of cancer. We’ve all had our health restored. Thank you, Jesus!” Having been healed by the power of God while participating live from Cameroon, Philemon A. wrote, saying, “I was healed of partial deafness in the right ear while we prayed. Glory to God!” Amazing praise reports continue to pour in long after the conferences, of diverse healings from chronic back pain, kidney disease and lots more. Many were given the opportunity to proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord of their lives. What times of rich communion and supernatural fellowship! The Healing School Online Prayer Conference continues to impact lives, to the glory of the Lord. Hallelujah! You can still take healing to the nations through your prayers; join the Healing School Prayer Network today. For more information, please visit prayer.enterthehealingschool.org.

I
’ve lost my life, and I had so many dreams.” Those were the words of thirty-three-year-old Honorine Aisekko when she irst came to the Healing School. Once a hearty and cheerful lady, her life took a drastic turn when she woke up one morning and couldn’t get out of the bed. She called for help and was taken to the hospital, where she was diagnosed with vertebral prolapse. Unable to walk on her own, Honorine had to use a wheelchair for mobility.
The condition caused all-around strain on Honorine’s life. “I was unable to do anything. I could not even stand up alone or support myself. I could no longer go to work, even though I loved my new job as a teacher. Things like bathing or feeding myself, turning my head, or lifting my hands, became impossible. After a while, I no longer had friends; my friends deserted me,” she states. Direly in need of total restoration and believing in the power of God to make her whole, Honorine made her way to the Healing School. She talks about her transformative experience when she encountered the power of God: “When Pastor Chris came into the auditorium, I said, “Sickness, it is time to leave; you must go.” The man of God stood in front of me and I was looking into his eyes, but I wasn’t seeing him. I was seeing light; everything was white. “As he ministered to me, I noticed that I was no longer feeling the pain. I felt light. I felt I could do everything immediately and I had the desire to do everything. And then I started running, glory to God! I had received my healing and it was total. Now, I feel well every time. I am comfortable and free. I can do everything through Christ, which strengthens me.” Now, Honorine expresses her gratitude and her resolve to make a diference in the world with her testimony, “Thanks to you, dear Healing School partners, life now has a meaning to me. I pray to God that He would increase you in your inances, and touch every part of your life. My dear father, Pastor Chris, I love you too much. Through you, my life was restored. I’m living a triumphant life. I’m a living testimony, and I know who I am now; I live to testify and I’m going to testify every day of my life.” The Healing School Magazine | 07

ith God, all things are possible. Elsa Gill, a bright and vivacious 65-year-old, discovered the truth of this for herself when she came to the Healing School, feeling isolated, frustrated, and unable to communicate due to loss of hearing. Totally restored and refreshed by the power of God, she shares her amazing testimony. Elsa begins with her earliest recollection of the problem, “It started in 2012; while talking on the phone, I realized that I couldn’t hear with my left ear. I had to listen with the right ear. I went to the hospital and was diagnosed to be sufering from hearing loss. It was a shock when I realized that I couldn’t hear. I listened hard and tried to read lips, but it was always noisy when people talked to me. Then I realized that it was getting worse, and with great speed. Eventually, in 2015, I was tested again and the report said I needed hearing aids.” As is common with most people who sufer sudden hearing loss, Elsa began to experience diiculties relating with those around her. This led to frustration and made her desperate for a change. “Medically, there was no cure, and the doctor said I would have to live with it for the rest of my life,” she says. This was Elsa’s situation until she decided to come to the Healing School. God met her at her point of need; her hearing was restored and her body was made whole when she received a special impartation from the man of God.
Now, a new Elsa recalls her sublime experience at the Healing School, “When I came to the Healing School, I knew I was in the right place. My hearing was fully restored in an instant. I could hear the voices and the cheers all over the hall! Also, I’d had a problem in my right hip, but my only focus when coming to the Healing School had been my ears. As I got up, however, I heard a voice telling me to jump on my right leg; I did and I discovered my hip was completely healed. I was so excited and energized, and I just fellowshipped with the Holy Ghost.” Expressing how grateful she is for her miracle, Elsa says, “Listening to Pastor Chris and seeing the fruit of his life, I appreciate him. He is amazing and I love him very much. To the partners of the Healing School, thank you so much, for making it possible for us, I am grateful for what you’ve done.” 08 | The Healing School Magazine

hat car is coming straight at us!” Those were the last words I heard before my life came crashing down around me. My name is Emmanuel Dladla. I’m 40 years old, and I come from South Africa. I came to the Healing School because I was paralyzed from the waist down and I had injuries in my spine. This is my testimony: that God’s Word activated faith in me and changed my life at the Healing School. My brother and I had attended a wedding and were on our way back home when the accident happened. I woke up a week later to multiple injuries, including wounds in my stomach and a spinal dislocation. I was paralyzed from the waist down. I also noticed that luids were coming out of a hole in my side; I had developed an enterocutaneous istula. The condition afected my life a lot; I couldn’t go anywhere or lift heavy things, I had constant diarrhea and lost so much weight. There was always discomfort and severe pain all over, so much that I could never sleep well. I had to use a wheelchair to move, and a corset to support my back. I lost my job and people had to support me for everything. The doctors said to me, “You have to remain like this, on bed rest.” They transferred me to another hospital, where I stayed for 3 months. It was hurtful to be treated like that. Every day, the nurses wrote the same comment in my charts–‘condition is as usual’. I refused to accept that I would be paralyzed for the rest of my life. I was tired of living that life, I wanted divine healing from God, so that I could go back to my life the way it was before the accident. My sister had told me about the Healing School, so when the American doctor didn’t show, I decided to come straight to the Healing School. When I attended the Healing School, I had faith that my condition had changed. It’s a day that I’ll never forget. The man of God came and touched my chest and told me to inhale and exhale; then he asked them to take out the corset. He laid hands on me again and said, “You’re healed!” And I just walked. I had been in the hospital for over 3 months, conined to a bed. But there I was, walking after a few moments with the man of God. I carried the corset around the hall as I rejoiced, then I dropped it and never saw it again, from that day till today. My life changed when I came here, I’m a new person now. Thank God.

A
ll around the world, from several countries, hundreds of pastors and leaders journeyed to South Africa to experience the power of God at the Healing School’s 2018 Ministers’ Visitation Program. Having heard of the mighty works wrought at the Healing School, they were expectant for an awesome experience. It was such a remarkable, transforming and spiritually invigorating experience for these ministers, right from their irst meeting with the man of God, Pastor Chris, which was the healing service. The visiting ministers watched the written Word of God come alive as Pastor Chris ministered healing to the sick and cast out devils with great authority; they saw the sick rise from deathbeds and others get out of wheelchairs. Witnessing so many miracles, the ministers marveled at God’s goodness. Among these anointed leaders of God’s people from across the globe was Pastor Julio Souza of Foursquare Gospel Church in Rondônia, Brazil, who related his experience at the healing service: “I was highly impacted because I had the opportunity to see the power of the Holy Spirit very strongly as people with various diseases were healed, it was supernatural. The message that Pastor Chris preaches is profound, revealing, shocking. I’ve never heard anything like it.” 10 | The Healing School Magazine
The ministers were treated to a rich time of fellowship with the Word of God at special teaching meetings they had with Pastor Chris and several other senior pastors, who unveiled deep truths and taught them several fundamental subjects in God’s Word.
Spirit. I felt something great had been poured into me. I was delivered from fear and my faith has increased with knowledge of God’s Word. My experience at the Healing School was great, and I have become courageously bold to minister the Word in my country!”
Reacting to the message, Evangelist Charles Gollaboina from Spirit of Life Church, India, enthused, “The Word of God preached by Pastor Chris was simple, but had a lot of depth in God. He explained the Word in such detail, and this will deinitely help me communicate the Gospel of Jesus to others with simplicity.”
As the impartation service ended, the man of God proclaimed blessings upon the ministers. It was glorious to see them empowered with a fresh anointing to fulil God’s vision for their lives and ministries, and to impact more lives for Jesus.
One of the most memorable experiences of the ministers’ sojourn was the special impartation service. Just as the Apostle Paul imparted spiritual gifts to Timothy by the laying on of hands (2 Timothy 1:6), Pastor Chris ministered grace and spiritual gifts to each one of them. It was a glorious sight to behold as they received and fell under the power of the Holy Spirit, totally infused with divine ability! Xenia Wedekind from Buchegg Christian Center, Switzerland, stated with much rejoicing, “When Pastor Chris ministered to me, I fell under the power of the Holy
The ministers had a glorious time of fellowship with the man of God, Pastor Chris, and were greatly equipped and translated to new realms of glory! They returned to their respective countries with new inspiration, insights and ideas, as well as renewed zeal and increased knowledge, ready to make tremendous impact by the power of God.

Keep a clean environment. The state of your environment inluences your state of mind and health, and even the elements you attract to yourself. Unclog your space and put all items in their proper places. Schedule periodic cleanings and maintain sanitary standards always. 2. Eat well. Eat properly cooked meals, avoid junk food and processed foods. Don’t skip meals, especially breakfast. Eat a balanced diet always, your body needs a lot of nutrients from diferent food types to function optimally. Also regulate portion sizes and snack healthily. 3. Stay hydrated. Drink a lot of water throughout the day, starting with one full glass irst thing in the morning. Water helps your body refresh, replenish and repair itself as needed. 4. Exercise.

5. Sleep and relax. Inadequate sleep afects your body in many ways, including increase in stress levels, reduction in brain functions, weight gain, depression, etc. Take afternoon naps, if possible, and watch a little less TV so you can go to bed early. 6. Take extra care of your body. Cultivate and maintain healthy, sanitary practices. Take care of, and protect, your eyes, nose, ears, mouth and skin, following approved measures for hygiene. 7. Kick harmful habits. Healthy people don’t smoke, drink alcohol or take too much cafeine. Don’t watch TV for too long, don’t skip breakfast or eat late at night… the list is endless. Examine your routine and remove unhealthy practices, then replace them with healthy ones. 8. Enjoy life. You have been called to a life of enjoyment and abundance (John 10:10). Don’t worry about the little things, learn to laugh and smile more. 9. Be kind. Nothing beats doing something good for someone else. An act of love, kindness or generosity will go a long way to help you destress and be more thankful for what you have. 10. Have healthy relationships. Appreciate the people in your life, let God’s love low to all around you. Forgive easily and quickly. Avoid feelings of bitterness, anger and resentment toward others.
“And Jesus answering saith unto them, Have faith in God. For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith” (Mark 11:22-23).
CONFESSIONS
In the above Scripture, the Master illustrated what true faith is, and what it does; it believes and speaks! He says whatever you desire will become yours when you vocalize what you believe. This means you agree with, and say, what the Word says about you or your situation. Faith isn’t just to believe God’s Word in your heart; faith actually speaks. Faith “calls those things which be not as though they were” (Romans 4:17). Therefore, you should declare your healing and health, prosperity and victory. Don’t keep quiet; the faith that works believes and therefore speaks (2 Corinthians 4:13). You believe irst that what you desire exists, and then give voice to it.
Divinity is tabernacled in my physical body! I’m a new creation, not subject to the elements of this world. The transcendent life and divinity lows in every part of my body. I reign over sickness, disease, poverty and lack! I’m superior to Satan. Glory to God!
This is where some have misunderstood faith: they don’t speak because they’ve believed; they speak to believe. Though they confess God’s Word, they actually struggle with their believing. This is why they get frustrated when things don’t turn out as they expected. What God has said about you in His Word is the reality; therefore, be bold to declare the same, notwithstanding what the devil, circumstances and even your mind may tell you. Keep speaking your victory and dominion in Christ Jesus. Keep declaring the Word; make faith’s proclamations of healing and health.
God’s Word is at work in me, producing results and building my faith strong! My faith prevails today as I put it to work. My faith is the victory that overcomes the world; I’m experiencing the glory of God in my health, family and inances. My faith is producing results; I walk in divine health, victory, dominion, and in the power of the Spirit today. I live in dominion over sickness, disease and death, and my body continuously responds to the Word as I declare what it says about me.
I am life-conscious; divine life is at work in me. Every ibre of my being, every bone of my body, and every cell of my blood, is inundated with divine energy! I am alive to God and dead to sickness, diseases and all kinds of inirmity. The Lord is my salvation, strength, healing and wisdom. I refuse to be subject to the elements of this world because the Greater One lives in me. My body is daily strengthened and vitalized by that same Spirit which raised Jesus from the dead. Hallelujah! I declare that I am living the good life and experiencing good days as I refrain from speaking guile and unbelief. I live in health and victory because that is what I speak concerning me every day! I am a partaker of the divine nature of God; therefore, the divine health of God is at work in me. I declare that I am made whole, fortiied from sickness, disease and inirmity, and preserved in divine health. The Word of God quickens my mortal body; this is my comfort. My health lourishes daily because the power of Jesus Christ continually works in me. The Healing School Magazine | 15
