Hear the Cry Podcast

This week's message is: "Your faith has healed and saved you!" In this message we focused on two healings: the woman with the issue of blood and a blind beggar. What both healings have in common is that after Jesus healed them he declared, "your faith has healed you...your faith has saved you." The faith that Jesus saw in the woman and the blind man was a faith that not only recognized Him as a great healer, but more importantly, their faith recognized Him as the Messiah--the Anointed One. It is that revelation of faith that released the healing power of Jesus. Jesus asks each of us today, "Who do you say that I am?"

Have you ever wondered what Native Americans mean when they talk about going to see a "medicine person?" In this episode we interview Leah Harper, a Nor-Rel-Muk Wintu healer who practices medicine both in the traditional lodge she constructed on her property as well as in chance encounters throughout her travels. Also, hear Leah share how her traditional medicine was used in conjunction with modern medicine in the healing of her son, Sky, from frequent seizures.

Psalm 69:33 says, "The LORD hears the needy and does not despise his captive people." In this episode, we pause to reflect on nearly five months of experiences in the Shiprock Detention Center. We share how our attitudes have shifted and compassion has enlarged as we have heard stories of hurt, loss, and tragedy. Messages of identity, purpose, and destiny combat a sense of hopeless and defeat. God, in His ultimate goodness, is speaking, touching, and healing his broken and hurting children. God does not despise, neither has he forgotten his captive people, but loves each one with an everlasting love. (Jeremiah 31:3)

Divine Appointments-those times when what appears to be a chance meeting is, in fact, a supernatural encounter arranged and ordered by God. In this episode, we discuss several such divine appointments. With each encounter, we are reminded that God is sovereign over all and that God has a plan for each of us that unfolds before us as we say, "yes!"

Shik'ei means My Family in Navajo. As the weekly ministry continues at the detention center we are beginning to meet and interact with the families being impacted due to their loved ones being incarcerated.

We reflect on the simplicity of call of the gospel--to love the one in front of us. Matthew 25 (v. 31-46) serves as a reminder of the ones we are called to love and to serve: those who are hungry, thirsty, naked, sick and in jail as well as the stranger.

As Hear the Cry continues to minister at the local detention center the prayers for a change in the atmosphere are being answered. Contributing to the change in the atmosphere are messages of identity and destiny.

Join us as we recount how a perfectly planned out day of ministry didn't go as planned. However, disappointment quickly turned to great joy as we were reminded once again of God's perfect plan.
