Faith Science - Bold as a Lion

Isaiah 61:1-3(KJV) - The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me; because the LORD hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound; To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn; To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.

It's 2:30 AM EST and I'm up writing this blog right now. I had an interesting dream last night that has left an indelible mark on my mind and heart. Let me share with you the salient points;

"I kept this lion as a pet for some time. It was extremely disciplined and fit nicely into my daily routine. One day, I put it on a leash and took it out into the streets for a walk. I didn't reach too far from the house before I started drawing some serious attention. Dogs were barking, people were staring and commotion was building. Suddenly, I released it, turned around and returned home. I could hear the mayhem in the background but I didn't care. The time had come."

I awoke and The Lord spoke to me. 

Proverbs 28:1(NIV) - The wicked flee though no one pursues, but the righteous are as bold as a lion.

Acts 4:13(NKJV) - Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were uneducated and untrained men, they marveled. And they realized that they had been with Jesus.

Acts 4:31(NIV) - After they prayed, the place where they were meeting was shaken. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and spoke the word of God boldly.

The lion represents the anointing on my life. I've kept it "domesticated" for some time. I've attracted limited attention because of it as I've displayed it on a limited level. However, it's time for me to stop holding it back. God wants me to let it go free and whatever happens, happens. The Holy Spirit, who is the source of the anointing, is the source of my boldness. I'm not afraid. I'm taking this message to world and The Lord will protect me.


Like Jesus, today I stand in the "temple" and declare, "The Spirit of The Lord is upon me and He's anointed me to teach Faith Science - Where Faith and The Scientific Method Collide. It will set many people free who've been held in mental bondage due to ignorance and intimidation from those with a secular agenda."

Psalm 53:1(NLT) - Only fools say in their hearts, “There is no God.” They are corrupt, and their actions are evil; not one of them does good!

The Thin Line Between Faith and Science

Daniel 1:4(KJV) - Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

Let me share with you what's on my heart this morning. I just finished reviewing the proof of my new book, "Faith Science - Where Faith and the Scientific Method Collide". Early in the book I look at cutting edge scientific phenomena like "Stem Cells and Cloning", "Antimatter", "Synthetic Life" and "Higgs Boson" through the eyes of faith. Since I finished writing the book, God has opened my eyes to even more mind boggling information that's publicly available.

Now I'm reading a book called, "Immortality" by Dr Joel Wallach. It's the practical equivalent to my first book, "I Curse Death." What we have spent years in The Church praying and casting out devils for could have been solved by simple changes in our diets or supplementation. So many diseases that have caused great pain and overflowed prayer hot-lines are the result of simple mineral deficiencies.

I have talked in tongues, studied great mysteries and delved into the hidden wisdom of scripture in search of deep understanding and now God is showing me some simple answers to my complicated questions. He talks to me in layman's terms. You want to be healed? Eat this and not that. Take this supplement. Go to sleep. Stop stressing yourself out. Drink this tea. Drink more water. It's no rocket science.

1 Corinthians 1:27-29(KJV) - But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; And base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: That no flesh should glory in his presence.

A few weeks ago I went to New York for the weekend. By the end of the trip I had developed sharp muscle spasms in my back that restricted movement on my left side. While there I lay hands on myself and I went up in the prayer line on Sunday morning but there was limited release. I returned home to Atlanta with the pain and woke up on Tuesday with my back muscles aching. I considered cancelling my arm workout that day so that I wouldn't aggravate it. Now here's where things got interesting.

I got to work and had an irresistible urge to drink black tea because I knew it would give me energy. I drank the black tea and instantly the pain was gone. It was so dramatic that I knew something happened. I did some research on the relationship between black tea and the relief of muscle pains and amazingly, there were several articles on the topic. God told me that He healed me but He wanted to show me that sometimes my healing will come in the form of some natural instructions. If they are followed it will stimulate my own body to heal itself.

I have another example. As a teenager in high school I cut off the tip of my left thumb while chopping sugar cane. I went to the emergency room for treatment. My biggest fear was that I would have to live with a deformed thumb because the missing piece was nowhere to be found and even if we found it, they couldn't do anything with it. They treated the wound and hoped for the best. My family prayed and within months the thumb grew back to normal. Now that's what faith can do.

Now here's what science can do. I read several articles about people losing the tips of their fingers also. None of them openly said they trusted God. However, there is this breakthrough new formula that causes limbs to grow back. When they received treatment with the formula it stimulated the stem cells in their damaged joint and their fingers grew back. Fifteen years ago when the tip of my finger was cut off all we could do was speak The Word and it happened. Now, they have that scientific breakthrough.

Luke 10:21(KJV) - In that hour Jesus rejoiced in spirit, and said, I thank thee, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that thou hast hid these things from the wise and prudent, and hast revealed them unto babes: even so, Father; for so it seemed good in thy sight.

When I start my book tour next year I'll be teaching on Faith Science. One of the topics will definitely be The Thin Line Between Faith and Science. Sometimes, you can pray for something and The Lord will cause a creative miracle on the spot. Limbs will grow back. Muscle spasms will be healed. Cancer will disappear. Other times, The Lord will give you the wisdom to use a natural remedy and it will fix the problem forever. Both options come from God because He is behind both faith and science.

What is it that you're believing God for today? Is it something that needs to materialize out of the spirit realm or would a remarkable idea suffice? Does God need to cause a bag of money to appear out of thin air or can He give you a business idea? Does God need to create a man or woman from the dust or can He order your steps to meet someone? Think about it! It doesn't matter how He does what He does, just be open to following His instructions. Your outrageous miracle might be in your obedience to the most simple instructions.

Science versus Faith

Merriam-Webster Dictionary defines the scientific method as, “principles and procedures for the systematic pursuit of knowledge involving the recognition and formulation of a problem, the collection of data through observation and experiment, and the formulation and testing of hypotheses.”


In addition, it gives the following four applicable definitions of science:

1. The state of knowing: knowledge as distinguished from ignorance or misunderstanding

2. a) A department of systematized knowledge as an object of study

b) Something (as a sport or technique) that may be studied or learned like systematized knowledge

3. a) Knowledge or a system of knowledge covering general truths or the operation of general laws especially as obtained and tested through the scientific method

b) Such knowledge or such a system of knowledge concerned with the physical world and its phenomena: natural science

4. A system or method reconciling practical ends with scientific laws


The foundational principles of science have enabled humanity to understand the world around us. Through the systematic pursuit of knowledge, the collection of data, and subsequent testing of formulated hypotheses, we have established “definitive” conclusions about ourselves and what can be perceived. Hence, established scientific laws must either be proven inconsistent, using the scientific method or fully accepted. In other words, you have two options: beat them or join them.

By definition, other than the natural sciences, science as a whole is an approach to gaining understanding. It is systematic and objective so that the conclusions can be reproduced if the same steps are followed under similar conditions.

In Faith Science, we will approach faith using the scientific method so that the conclusions drawn in the Bible can be reproduced in our personal lives. We will begin by drawing a connection between certain scientific phenomena and foundational biblical principles in order to make them easier to comprehend. Then we will prove them with case studies.


But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
1 Corinthians 2:14 KJV


Scientists who think that spiritual laws are inherently inaccurate are themselves, inaccurate. The Bible refers to them as carnal thinkers who will never understand spiritual things. No human mind on its own is able to perceive the things of God. So even though they may be experts at natural things, without Christ, they are unskilled in spiritual things. Thus, even the greatest scientists on their own will never be able to bridge the gap between scientific and spiritual laws.

Therefore, it’s easy to understand that just the mention of the word faith sends shivers down the spines of secular scientists. They consider Christianity foolish and don’t see how it’s possible for intelligent people to believe what’s written in the Bible. What many of them really have are preconceived notions that instantly reject anything that contradicts what they believe. So proving the viability of faith to them on a purely academic level will be impossible regardless of the evidence provided.


But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man. For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? but we have the mind of Christ.

1 Corinthians 2:15-16 KJV


The Bible says that he who is spiritual comprehends all things while he who is natural is not qualified to speak on spiritual things. The two systems, though they exist simultaneously, are not equal. Spiritual laws are inherently superior to natural laws because all that is natural came from that which is spiritual. I will prove this by Scripture later in the book. However, since God is behind both systems, unless it’s necessary for carrying out his purpose, they shouldn’t inherently contradict. Here are a few instances when they did contradict and spiritual laws triumphed.

Jesus and the Apostle Peter broke the law of gravity when they walked on water in Matthew 14:25-29. Elijah broke natural laws when he stopped rain from falling using words in 1 Kings 17 and then started it again in 1 Kings 18. He also broke natural laws when he called fire out of heaven several times in 2 Kings 1:9-14. Philip broke physical laws when he disappeared from one location and appeared in another in Acts 8:39. Paul broke natural biological and chemical laws when he was bitten by a venomous snake and nothing happened to his body in Acts 28:3-6. Like Paul said in Romans 8:2, the spiritual law of life in Christ Jesus triumphed over the law of sin and death. Though discernible, natural laws were made obsolete in specific human lives.

If you approach it with an open mind and heart, Faith Science will be a blessing to your life. Above everything else, it will change the way you see the spirit realm. Since your perspective forms the basis of your interpretation of what’s written in the Bible, you will have a renewed understanding of spiritual things. Combined with the knowledge you may already have, the systematic approach in this book will strengthen your faith. While others choose to remain limited, God can open your eyes to the possibilities of your human existence.
