We are at the brink of an enormous spiritual breakthrough in this time, even in a prophetic timeline, where we are, with a clarion call, being invited to jump in this river of God's healing, over our heads, swept up in the currents of His fathomless love. The Body of Christ is about to go SWIMMING! This book answers some of the questions people have about the Holy spirit and how God is moving today to heal the nations.

You will Learn: How faith comes to the believer How healing comes The greatest help to prayer: prophecy The test for truly "hearing" God How to discern the true Presence of God Why sometimes obedience precedes faith How to break past spiritual barriers and "stuckness" What it means to swim in God's Healing River How to enter the most glorious enterprise in all the earth: the Harvest What the "fourth voice" is in worship

Foreword by Norma Dearing, executive director of Impact Communications and longtime associate and teacher for Christian Healing Ministries with Judith and Francis MacNutt.

"Many years ago God invited Jack Sheffield to come into His river of healing. Fortunately for himself and the many thousand recipients of his ministry, Jack answered that call. And he wasn't satisfied like many of us to stick in his toe or even to wade, but he moved deeper and deeper into the water until he became immersed in God's Spirit and truth.

This book is a virtual reservoir of knowledge, of experience with and practical insight into hearing God and moving in His power. God has called Jack to great things, but it has not always been without cost. The testimony of his personal car accident and death encounter reveals his understanding of the supernatural in a away no one can refute or forget.

His wealth of experience, stories and testimonies will make you laugh, cry, want to jump for joy and get yourself to the river. There are sections of the book that are practical and helpful for every Christian, like the power of forgiveness and examples of God's holiness and entering into His presence. The description and explanation of what actually takes place when the Holy spirit comes in power for healing is beautifully developed.

Hearing God in prophecy and dreams and understanding the correlation between prophecy and prayer only help us go deeper into understanding God's Holy Spirit gifts for healing. God's Healing River shares the heart of God and His longing to loose His Holy Spirit over each one of us.

God has placed His vision in Jack's heart that churches are to be places of healing, restoration and redemption and that He desires using ordinary lay people to bring it forth-people like you and me. Jack shows us in this wonderful book that when we believe and pray, God shows up in power. We become transformed, never again content to sit on the banks idly observing this living water flowing by us. We desire to go deeper, to become immersed in His love, power, grace and healing. By doing this we become a tributary of this river, a body of living water to be used by our Father God."

Introduction - This is only the scripture upon which the introduction, the ministry and the book are based. It is Ezekiel 47:1-2, 3-9

Then he brought me back to the entrance of the temple; there, water was flowing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east (for the temple faced east); and the water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar going on eastward with a cord in his hand, the man measured on thousand cubits, and then led me through the water; and it was ankle-deep. Again he measured one thousand, and led me through the water; and it was up to the waist. Again he measured one thousand, and it was a river that I could not cross, for the water had risen;' it was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be crossed. He said to me, 'Mortal, have you seen this?' Then he led me back along the bank of the river. As I came back, I saw on the bank of the river a great many trees on the one side and on the other. He said to me, 'This water flows toward the eastern regions and goes down in to the Arabah, and when it enters the sea, the sea of stagnant waters, and the water will become fresh. Wherever the river goes, every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish, once these waters reach there. It will become fresh; and everything will live where the river goes.
