GET YOUR HEALING FROM THE DOCTOR

By Rev. Johnny Lee Clary

The Bible is very clear about Jesus healing today. Too many negative nincompoops are out there teaching that healing was for Jesus’ day but not for today. They even go so far as to say that sickness in our bodies was put there by God for punishment of some sort. Nothing can be further from the truth. There is a variety of reasons people get sick, but we don’t need to go into all of them except to say that a lot, not all, but a lot of sickness is the result of the choices that we make, like lack of exercise, improper foods, use of drugs and alcohol, etc. Then there are some that just seem to develop illnesses and they seem to have done everything in their power to prevent sickness. Some illnesses are better left to be explained by doctors and some illnesses there just seems to be no explanation for. What I do know is that Jesus is still in the healing business today just like He was when He walked the earth in bodily form.

If you serve Jesus then you serve a healing Jesus. Mathew 4:23 says that Jesus went about Galilee teaching, preaching and healing all the sickness and disease that the people had. Now if you believe the Bible to be truth, then you must also believe Hebrews 13:8 that Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. That means He still heals today. If you say He does not then you do not believe the Bible and certainly do not follow the Jesus of the Bible. You therefore are an unbeliever. If you say Jesus does not heal today then you are calling Jesus a liar. Well, Jesus is no liar. The liars are the ones who say Jesus doesn’t heal today.

The life of Jesus showed nothing but compassion and love. Since He laid down His life by going to the cross for mankind, why in the world would someone dare think He doesn’t love people enough to heal them? Greater love has no man than He who lay down His life for a friend. (John 15:13)

Now let me make it perfectly clear that no man can heal anyone. It takes Jesus to do the healing. Now I can just hear the agnostics and heathens saying right now that doctors heal people. My answer to that is the doctors would not have the knowledge or the medicines to heal if it were not for the knowledge that God gave them to develop those medicines and do those operations. End of argument.

Now I have witnessed many people going to faith healers and even waiting in long lines for hours because they wanted healing from a sickness. Now some people would say that they are not looking to the man for healing, but if that were so then why do they wait in those long lines instead of just going to their local church or gathering up some fellow believers for the prayer for the healing? You see, some get all caught up in the hype of the big name minister that has a reputation for faith healings in his meetings that they forget that Jesus is the one doing the healing and not the faith healer. I like what Benny Hinn once said when Larry King asked him on TV how many people he had healed. Hinn replied, “Not one Larry. Jesus is the healer not me.” Because of that attitude I believe that is why God has blessed Hinn so much. We need to develop those same attitudes.

Matthew 14:35-36: “The men there recognized Jesus and sent messengers all around the countryside. The people brought him everyone who was sick. They begged him to let them touch just the edge of his clothes. Everyone who touched his clothes was healed.” This scripture should always remind us to reach out to Jesus and look to Him for the healing.

Psalm 30:2 “O Lord my God, I called to you for help and you healed me.” When we pray to Him and believe Him for the answer that is when we see the results. We have to do our part too, like not only prayer and belief in Jesus to do the healing but also we have eat healthy and make the right decisions and listen to our doctors.

In early 2008 I had a physical done and was told I had about 6 years left to live. I was told I was borderline diabetic, had high blood pressure, gout, overweight, and super high triglycerides. The doctor said with those conditions it was nearly impossible to live past six years. However, he also told me that if I would make the necessary adjustments and exercise, change my eating habits and lose weight I could live several more years. I made some changes. Now in 2009, I had all the tests redone and they all came out with no diabetes, uric acid levels OK, blood pressure under control, and triglycerides good and everything else just fine. Yes I made some adjustments but I didn’t lose all that much weight, only a little. The main thing was prayer. Prayer got results. It still is getting results too!

James 5:16 “Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.” You can pray for yourself to be healed and you can also pray for others who are sick as James told us to.

He’s the same today! Jesus still heals today. Therefore do not listen to those ninnies that say Jesus does not heal and start listening to what the Word of God says, and then you can have your healing.

Get your healing from the Doctor!

Doctor Jesus that is!

FEAR DOES NOT EXIST IN GOD'S WRESTLING RING

By Rev. Johnny Lee Clary




No matter where I travel, whether it be in the USA or another nation, I am always running into people who are confused about the calling of God upon their life. Either they are working hard to fulfill the calling of God upon their lives or they are just sitting idly by doing nothing to help advance the Kingdom.

I can’t count how many people I have met in my 20 years in the ministry that tell me they once felt they were called of God to preach, or go on the mission field, or pastor a church or sing or play music. So what’s the problem? Most people do not take that step towards accomplishing what God has called them to do because of fear. If they have fear then they are not trusting God to lead, order and direct their steps like the word says. (Proverbs 3:5)

Sometimes they listen to the wrong people who discourage them from following what they feel God has called them to do. What they do not take into consideration is that most of the people who say you can’t walk on water have never even gotten out of the boat. If I had listened to all of the idiots including my own family members who told me I would never be a preacher and I was stupid for thinking that I could be, then hundreds of thousands of souls would not be saved today. I had one relative tell me I would never amount to anything and today she is way out in left field with a mind all burned out from drugs. Another relative has battled multiple marriages and alcoholism and yet another relative is a left wing backslidden Christian who is a chronic gambler. All of them told me I would never amount to anything. Glad I didn’t listen to them!

God has not given us the spirit of fear. If God didn’t give it to us then fear is of Satan. Satan is the creator of fear and he created it because he does not want you doing God’s will. Satan is not big enough or powerful enough to stop God but he can stop Christians from doing God’s will if he can put enough fear into them where they become cowards and make the choice to stop themselves. I had my fill of fear when I was young. I saw it all. My father committed suicide in front of me. My sister let her boyfriend beat the hell out of me all the time. I had to live in East L.A., in gang ridden territory. I was chased and beaten by gangs. I joined the KKK and looked to the White brotherhood for protection.

I lived a life of hate and violence before coming to the Lord. I have faced down rival gangs, been shot at, been in knife fights, gang brawls, barroom brawls, survived contract hits, faced down literally thousands of counter-demonstrators at White supremacist marches, and survived attacks from the Black Panthers, Black Muslims, Communists, KKK, Nazis, gangs, and just about every type of enemy you can think of.

After I became a Christian, if I was naive enough to think that the attacks would stop, then I was living in fantasyland. I was attacked a lot. This time though, the attacks came from so-called ‘Christians’ who again told me I would never be a preacher, I was an idiot, since I was once a Klansman I would always be a Klansman because God does not forgive people who used to be KKK members, and I have had these people attack me for twenty years and they have never let up. However, the key to it all is that I have never let those jerks get the best of me. I have no fear of them and never will. Why in the world would I fear a bunch of busybodies nerds with big mouths when I faced and defeated some of the meanest gang members and hate-mongers from Bad Street USA? Besides I fear no man. I used to fight in bars and in the gang wars. Oh yes I got beat a few times, but the person who beat me almost always regretted it. If I couldn’t take someone with my hands I would come back with a baseball bat. If I couldn’t take them with a baseball bat, I would come back with an army. If I couldn’t take them with an army then I would come back with fire and I am not talking about the Holy Ghost fire because I wasn’t saved back then. I will leave that to your imagination. People hated making my list. I am talking about the list of people who lived to regret underestimating the old me before I was born again. The people who have attacked me since I was saved, have got a lot to be thankful for especially that I am truly saved, redeemed and walking in the ways of the Lord. Otherwise…well we will leave that to the imagination too! They just better hope I never backslide!

So what is my secret? It’s no secret..it is a recipe. It is found in the word of God. Trust in the Lord with all of your heart and lean not unto your own understanding! (Prov. 3:5-6) I don’t care who opposes me! They are not bigger than God who is bigger than all my problems, bigger than all my fears; God is bigger than any mountain that I can or cannot see.

Fear is not some big giant wrestler who is bigger than the Holy Ghost which resides in you. You can face fear anytime day or night because God is with you! God plus one is the majority! The 14 year old little shepherd boy David was not in fear of Goliath because he knew he had God on his side. He defeated the giant and later became king of Israel! If he would have let fear control him, we never would have heard of him, and he certainly would never have been king.

You need to tell old Satan that the Holy Ghost power makes you the boss and he and his demons can get lost!

You need to remember that God is on your side, He is your tag team partner, and he is looking out for you! If God has given you a calling, go for it baby! Stop letting fear get in your way! When people try to discourage you tell them to go play on the freeway! Be a God-pleaser not a man-pleaser!

If God calls you He equips you. When God gives the vision He gives the provision!

You don’t want to be branded a coward for the rest of your life do you? You can’t be recognized if you don’t get in the fight. I wrestled a 6-man tag team match one night and me and one of my tag team partners carried most of the match while the other guy left the ring and went to the bathroom! He didn’t return until the last minute of the match and me and my regular partner won when he gave a clothesline to one guy, I hit the other with a chair and dropped the third guy with a DDT face first on the mat. The referee raised all three of our hands in victory and we turned to our partner who was M.I.A. (Missing In Action) and said “Where were you pal? “ He tried to give some excuse and said, “Hey I had you all’s backs man!” We told him where he could stuff it and that he had no part in our victory!

God is the head promoter. He has called you to step into the wrestling ring. If you take a powder and go back to the dressing room like a girlie man, then don’t expect to share in any glory. You may make it to heaven but you won’t get any rewards or recognition, and you certainly won’t wear a crown like those who did what God told them to and didn’t let fear get in the way!

FEAR DOES NOT EXIST IN GOD’S WRESTLING RING!

2 Timothy 1:7, “For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind.”

If you have a sound mind, go get in the ring!

SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL POLICE in Jailing Drug Pushers

Ottawa County Ministerial Alliance
P.O. Box 1456
Miami, Ok. 74355

We of the Ottawa Country Ministerial Alliance would like to thank our law enforcement and the OBN (Oklahoma Bureau of Narcotics) for Operation Wardog in which over 70 arrest warrants were issued in Miami and the surrounding areas. As law abiding citizens, we have a right to live in a community where the streets are safe for our children to play on, without fear of drug pushers selling drugs, drug addicts breaking into our homes, and meth labs being operated in our neighborhoods.


In this day and age when children need heroes to look up to, Hollywood has been glorifying drug pushers through movies and TV shows which send the wrong message to young people that they can get rich quick and live lavish lifestyles by dealing drugs. They fail to point out that by making the wrong choices in life, they not only destroy their own futures but those of friends and loved ones that are affected by their choice to sell, manufacture or use drugs as well.


As District Attorney Eddie Wyant stated most of the drug dealers were young in their late teens and early twenties and it is sad to see that they made the wrong choices to start their lives off with a prison and felony record that will remain with them for the rest of their lives. This will affect their job opportunities and standings in communities as well. As ministers of the gospel in the Ottawa County Ministerial Alliance we pray for those who have made these choices that they learn from the mistakes and the price they will now have to pay as the consequences of their actions. We also pray for all families in our community that they become aware of the drug problems in our area and allow Operation Wardog as well as future drug sting operations to serve as a lesson to young people that crime does not pay.


These brave men and women of law enforcement who put their lives on the line on a daily basis are the real heroes for our children to look up to and admire. Let us all keep our law enforcement officers in our prayers for their safety and may God bless them for their outstanding work that they do to serve and protect us in our daily lives to make our area drug free!
