When Curry first started, he had people come over to his house on Saturday nights for prayer. He did not do much teaching, just time in prayer, like Lake had done, an hour at a time. Some he prayed for 45 minutes, and if he had time and it needed it, for 3 hours. There were some instant or “then healings,” after the 45 minutes to 3 hours of ministry (usually the Joint Method below). Others took coming every Saturday night for 3, 4 or 9 weeks. They would come back each week, say what was happening to them, and if needed, they would go at it again, repeating the same basic speaking to that particular mountain or sickness. This coming back is a key part of the process of building a working expectation in the people. The praying for people consisted of: 1) Continual loud commanding until healed or as time permitted per session 2) Leading them in the Joint Method 3) Praying for them by himself during the week Joint Method – From “Demonstrating the Kingdom of God” CD. Preparation for Healing (When Curry is not feeling aggressive) He has the person say by repeating each phrase in this paragraph after him (either present or over phone): Tell them that their honest enthusiasm does help and makes a big difference, so please cooperate as best you can. 4) “Father, in the name of Jesus, I believe, when my brother (lays his hand on / speaks over) me, I shall receive my healing. I’m going to get it because You bought it, You paid for it. You paid for it with the blood of Jesus. Jesus paid for it with those stripes. “I can’t do anything to deserve it, and I can’t be good enough to deserve it. And I can’t be so bad that You, Father, won’t give it to me. But I can take it, just like a hug, and that’s what I do now. And when my brother (lays his hand on / speaks over) me, I am going to have my healing, today/tonight, right now/this time. Your zoe life goes into me now. I’m not leaving here without it, in the name of Jesus.” Minister, “Is this so?” The answer: “Yes!” Good, strong and firm. If not, go back around it again until it is. Minister 5) “Right now, in the name of Jesus, RECEIVE (lay hands if near / speak firmly); so be it, in Jesus’ name. Disease/problem I command you to GO. So be it, in the name of Jesus!” While the minister does paragraph 2), the person goes into neutral of having it be done to them, or says “Thank You.” Ask them not to pray. Just receive. Some even take a deep breath showing they are receiving when the minister commands “receive.” Curry would tell them to get into neutral, telling them, “Let me do it, you just relax and receive from God through me.” Part of the purpose of 1) is to align the heart with truth, and get past mental assent. Usually people balk at several points in the paragraph, and the minister goes back around adding truth and getting them to repeat the whole paragraph again, until they can do every phrase with solid enthusiasm. a. Right now. Many think it could never come or not right now. Jesus healed most people right now. b. Pride – thinking they are good enough, or have done enough in the past to deserve it, and may be mad at God for not healing them yet. c. False Humility – thinking they are too bad, their sin is too great d. When the brother ministers, many times they think, “He/she is not Jesus, he/she is not qualified,” – but Jesus dwells in him/her and words are the primary tool of the spirit world, where Jesus sits at the throne.
