#31: Today’s Prayer- Prove my healings O God 2.

Continuing from yesterday to explain some reasons why healings may not manifest instantly.

2. Demon Activity:

Luke the physician wrote about a woman who “had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.”

However, after Jesus spoke directly to her condition, she healed.( Luke 13:10-17)

If you study the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, you will observe that  HE heals by either casting out the evil spirit or by declaring the person forgiven. (See Luke 7:48)

In earlier articles we explained that Sin is the primary cause of sickness. And since sin is humanity’s genetic legacy, it opened up humanity to genetic disorders.

We also pointed out that since  Adam disobeyed God and obeyed satan the devil, that act placed Humans under satan and the evil spirits. 

So, among the secondary causes of sicknesses and diseases are satan’s forces of evils, and the unrepentant heart.

3.- Need to Repent and stop sinfulness 

Forgiveness of sins releases spiritual healings thus, making physical healings possible.

However, God requires a change of heart to reflect in a change in action.

James 5:14-16, points that sinfulness could hinder the process of healing or the manifestation of healings. Furthermore, it is good to know that confession of sins will neutralize both satan and the sickness.

As much as God desires that we enjoy good health with prosperity, those who cover their sins and continue in them hinder their own good health.

God sees your heart. He understands that instant healing will jeopardize your future, so He allows you more grace, so you can  grow in the Doctrines of Christ.

I believe that it is an act of God’s infinite mercy not to heal some people instantly.  Because, they would continue to perpetuate the evils that feed the diseases and the return of the disease would become more destructive. (Read Matthew 12:43-45)

Your part/ #PrayerPoints4Today  (10mins)

a.- Repent: Apply the principles of Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 1:9. 

b.- Stop all those sinful activities or thoughts that feed the diseases and enable the demonic hordes to continue to torment you. 

b.-  In addition to holding fast to the Word of God that has released health and healings to you, you should also speak to your body or mind- whichever is afflicted. Just as Jesus Christ spoke directly to the woman- ” Woman, thou art loosed” (Luke 13:12)

c.- Pronounce yourself loosed from that infirmity.  (Remember that life and death is in your mouth. Speak life that you may live.)

d.- You can also enforce the victory of the Cross- command the evil spirit to leave your body at once and go to the feet of Jesus Christ. (Luke 10:19, Philippians 2:9-11)

*-  In dealing with the evil spirits, address them by the name of your diagnoses, presenting conditions or symptoms- follow the example of Jesus Christ- command them to leave!

e. -And if you meet further resistance,  then its time to seek special ministry from those who God specifically designed/equipped with the appropriate authority to deal with the satanic-  They  are God’s Gift to the Body of Christ (Read Ephesians 4)

We will continue tomorrow to explore other reasons. You are healed is not a Christian hype. It is the Truth. Do the needful.

#30: Today’s Prayer: Prove my healings O God 1.

Bible Reading:

 “Heal me, O LORD, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.” (Jeremiah 17:14 KJV)

Introduction:

People of God, it is not a sin to ask God for confirmation of what He says.

Back in the Old Testament Gideon asked God for confirmation in order to proceed on the assignment. (Judges 6:36-40)

And in the New Testament, Thomas also asked for proof of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. (John 20:24-29)

In both cases, God obliged them, helped their unbelief and they faithfully accomplished their given assignments.

So, if you are among the many  who received the Word of faith for your healings, and are still suffering the symptoms, be rest  assured  that you ARE not exempt from the finished WORK OF CHRIST on the Cross.

And you have not sinned in asking that God prove your healings too.

Some reasons why your healings may not have manifested yet.

1- Healing as a process:

Although most healings by Jesus Christ were instantaneous, the Bible points to gradual healings as well. 

a- The Bible says in Jeremiah 33:6, “Behold, I will bring to it health and healing, and I will heal them and reveal to them abundance of prosperity and security”

b. And James 5:15 says, “the prayer offered in faith will make the sick person well.”

c. Also in Mark 8:22-25, the blind man’s healing was gradual. Christ Jesus to touched him again. 

So, if you have received the Word of God and your healings were not instantaneous, do not throw away your strong confidence in God.

Your spiritual healing has occurred and your physical healing is manifesting  gradually.

Your Part/ #PrayerPoints4Today; (15 mins)

a.- Refuse to accept the status quo of that sickness, or that it is not God’s will to heal you. Keep in mind that Jesus Christ healed all who came to Him and he has paid the price for Sin. 

b.- Therefore, Keep up expecting to be fully healed and thank God for forgiveness of sins and cleansing from all unrighteousness (1 John 1:9)

c.- Being confident that God who started this good work in you, will bring it to completion (Philippians 1:6), Thank God that your healings are perfected both spiritually and physically, and the yokes are destroyed already.

d.- Declare that your expectations will result in joy. (Read Proverbs 10:28)

e.- Do not be sluggish spiritually. You must fight the good fight of Faith like those who through Faith inherit the promises. (Hebrews 6:12).  Pray in tongues and pray all positive prayers confessing your beliefs.

* Never say any negative word, speak faith,  and stop owning the sickness or diagnoses 

f.- Keep affirming your healings  by proclaiming the Word of God about your new status as the forgiven, healed, restored, redeemed and everything the Word of God say are your benefits in Christ.

g.- Declare that you now function under the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus and there are no deaths, diseases, sicknesses (call out the name of the sickness) in your path. 

 h – Implement the Lifestyle changes- live clean, eat right, and purge your heart of all filthiness. 

In order to understand this teaching, you need to read up on the past teachings.

LEARN TO DO RIGHT ALWAYS.

Dear People of God, recently, it came to me that the reason many of us feel challenged by our Christianity, is because of double standards.

But our Christianity becomes easier if we can press on to develop Christlikeness in worship, character and service.  

Hence Jesus Christ says:

“Take my yoke upon you, and learn of me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.” (Matthew 11:29 KJV)

When Jesus says we should take his yoke,  He is saying ‘be joined to me’.

 A yoke is a contraption that fit around the neck of two animals to enable them function in unity. 

An individual yoked with Christ cannot be brutal and wicked.  

Although the Christian is a Spiritual Warrior, we are to be gentlemanly –  be meek and humble. 

Haughtiness and hard heartedness is not becoming of a Christian.

Recently I was called in to moderate in a dispute between two Believers.

One was hurting because of an injustice done to him by the other. It was horrible to see a Christian behave in such a vile manner as we witnessed.

What hurt the most was that the offender was not remorseful at all. 

He claimed it was a private business arrangement that concerned no one, and he used ‘survival mode’.

So many of us out of selfish interests make decisions that are appalling even  to God.

Which reminds me of this scripture that says 

“the LORD has been a witness between you and the wife of your youth, against whom you have broken faith… Malachi 2:14

When you treat a brethren wickedly, you have broken the covenant of brotherhood. You broke faith!

No matter where you are or what you are doing against another individual; remember that God witnesses it.

As our picture post states; 

“A FALSE balance and unrighteous dealings are extremely offensive and shamefully sinful to the Lord, but a just weight is His delight. [Lev. 19:35, 36; Prov. 16:11.] (Proverbs 11:1 AMPC)

That unrighteous dealings,  whether between siblings, spouses, lovers or business partners,  is abominable before God. 

It also open you up for demonic attacks. 

And just in case you may have forgotten, the Bible says;

“Do not be deceived and deluded and misled; God will not allow Himself to be sneered at (scorned, disdained, or mocked by mere pretensions or professions, or by His precepts being set aside.) [He inevitably deludes himself who attempts to delude God.] For whatever a man sows, that and that only is what he will reap.”

(Galatians 6:7 AMPC)

In conclusion, instead of dealing unrighteously in order to satisfy the needs of the moment, remember that God already put checks and balances in place to checkmate your excesses.  It won’t end well at all, unless you repent.

However,  if you learn from Christ, join yourself to Him and produce His characteristics, you shall find rest for your Soul (Matthew 11:29)

Prayer:

Thank you Father for the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ that has appeared to many. 

Help me to live an exemplary life, both in private and public, in the mighty name of Jesus Christ ♥️. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 22, 2023

YOU ARE ACCEPTED IN THE BELOVED

Dearly Beloved friend, although rejection is a very bitter pill to swallow, don’t let it define but distinguish you.

This [Jesus] is the Stone which was despised and rejected…but which has become the Head of the corner [the Cornerstone]. [Ps. 118:22.]

(Acts 4:11 AMPC)

During the first advent of Jesus Christ, even His own people rejected Him. But today, HE is distinguished as the Only way to eternal life, and the best model of success. 

He never allowed the opinions of people to make Him lose focus from His mission. He stated very clearly, “My meat is to do the will of Him who sent me, and to finish His work” (Read John 4:32)

Let that be one of your guiding principles in life.

Another person who was rejected and discriminated against, was Jephthah.

 His siblings shamed him publicly, called him the son of a prostitute, ran him out of town, and did not allow him to inherit with them.

How Jephthah must have hurt. I feel his shame and pain!

His humiliation was legendary, which attracted worthless people who joined him in exile. 

And then God intervened, and everything turned in his favor.

(Things are already turning in your favor)

Jephthah’s town came under attack by a fearful enemy. And the leaders of the town  bypassed protocol to ask help from Jephthah. 

(Surely, protocol has been bypassed and you are blessed 🙌)

Jephthah wisely negotiated the terms and conditions with them, and returned as the ruler and commander of the town! (Read the story in Judges 11)

What a supernatural divine intervention! GOD must completet your restorations in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️ 

Instead of wallowing in self pity, or bemoaning the circumstances of your birth, your nationality, age, marital status, or lack of education, put your God-given gifts and talents to good use.

Jephthah at the lowest point of his life, was on top of his rejection! He led a band of rebels/worthless people and turned them into a fearful army!

You should refuse to allow rejection to turn you into a bitter, angry, antagonistic, vindictive, manipulative or wicked person!. You are ACCEPTED in the Beloved. 

Here are some life’s hack for transcending Rejection Biblically:
  1. Get wisdom- Ingest and metabolize the Word of God insightfully. (Proverbs 4:5-6)
  2. Get understanding- (Proverbs 4:7) – Develop good judgment

 Wisdom and understanding are the capital you need to invest in any project.

  1. Focus on your mission-(John 4:32)
  2. Be the best with what you have- strive for excellence: for if you are diligent, you will attract the favor of great people. (Proverbs 18:16, 22:29)
Prayer:

I pray that you will come to the knowledge that you are God’s Special possession and that Divinity is at work in you. And that you have the creative abilities of God in you. 

From today, those who despised and rejected you, will become servants for your joy, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️.

#29: Today’s Prayer: Faith For Healings 3.

Bible Reading:

 “And he said, Unto you it is given to know the mysteries of the kingdom of God: but to others in parables; that seeing they might not see, and hearing they might not understand. (Luke 8:10 KJV)

Introduction:

A mystery is a principle of the Kingdom that is expounded in scriptures to enable us maximize the benefits of Redemption.

It is so sad that denominational dogmas have kept many in bondage to satan, sin, sicknesses, and diseases; because they misunderstand the Gifts of God.  Which have disabled  their followers  from enjoying the full benefits of Redemption.  

That is the reason we are telling you that Jesus Christ  has paid for your sins, and taken the penalties away through His substitutionary work on the Cross. 

Read how when Christ forgave the sin of the paralytic in  Matthew 9:2, Mark 2:1-12, and healing manifested.

Let’s Reason together:

If disobedience by One man – Adam, activated the ‘law of sin and death’, how much more then, would the obedience of one Man Jesus Christ, save people from sin and its consequences, by activating the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus ? ( Read 2 Corinthians 5;21, Romans 5:12-21, 8:2)

Biblically, the usage of the English  word ‘save’ , is translated from Hebrew sózó, (from sōs, “safe, rescued”) (4982) is a verb,  which means  to deliver or protect, save, heal, preserve, do well  or make whole.

The Greek sṓzō is the root from which “Savior” (4990 /sōtḗr), and ” Salvation” (Greek 4991 /sōtēría)  and the adjectival form, (4992 /sōtḗrion) which means; “saved/rescued from destruction and brought into divine safety, are derived.

We are commanded as Christians to cast down imaginations which includes, ideologies, philosophies, theologies, rational thinking, denominational dogmas and everything else that exalts itself  against the knowledge of God, and to bring every thought to obedience of Christ (See 2 Corinthians 10:5)

WE are to also prove all things and to hold fast to what is good. (See 1 Thessalonians 5:21)

Those who follow the teachings of Jesus Christ are his disciples and the Truth will set you free ( Read John 8:31-32)

The sacrifice of Jesus Christ as Savior, redeems all who come to Him.

Forgiveness of sins lead  to spiritual and physical healings.

Is there any area of your life that you need healings today ?

I challenge you  to Believe in the Lord Jesus Christ so that you can be properly delivered out of satan’s dangerous web of deceit, and live in safety of the sons of God. (Acts 26:18)

Never forget that in Christ JESUS  the believers are rescued from the penalty and power of sin – and into God’s supernatural provisions.

1- Just worship in songs and pray in tongues 

#PrayerPoints4Today (5mins)

2- The entrance of God’s Word brings enlightenment and deliverance. Proclaim that this Word is producing results of what it says in your life and family – leading to forgiveness of sins and healings from all sicknesses, diseases or disorders!

3- Command all the symptoms of sicknesses, diseases or disorders to stop and never come back again. 

4- Thank God for forgiveness of sins,  healings and the grace to enjoy Divine Health.

5- Pray for all sick folks to encounter Jesus Christ, and to receive the Gifts of salvation, healings, deliverance, wellness, protection, safety and prosperity, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

See you tomorrow .

Broken Promises:

Greetings dear friend.

“The LORD of hosts has sworn, saying, Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand…”(Isaiah  14:24)

God is a Promise Keeper and Miracle worker. If HE has spoken, HE will surely bring it to pass.

In one of my recent articles, I referred to the fact that the human heart is desperately wicked and beyond our understanding.

And that it is better to trust in God than to put your confidence in ‘Man’.

The reason it is better to invest your confidence in God is that it will bring you great profit in the long run.

Although people misguidedly say that “what God cannot do does not exist”, we know that God cannot lie and He cannot deny Himself, because He is a faithful God. 

If you have received assurances or Promises from another human being and trust that person implicitly, then you have set yourself up to be hurt.

Here is why:

When people make promises, they mean well. Except for some vile and mean persons who may tell you what you need to hear, in order to take advantage. 

But the majority of those who make promises  may mean well. 

However, you should always bear in mind that circumstances beyond their control can interfere with their plans. And they may not be able to keep their promises. Because they are mere mortals. 

To avoid the hurt failed promises brings:

1- Guard your heart diligently by not  building your life on or around the promises- anything can happen.

2- Undergird yourself with Biblical principles: one of which is to Trust God with all your heart. And cast both the promises and the one who made the promise to God.

3- Pray until the promises are fulfilled.

4- War against the forces of evil and ban them from interfering. 

5- Keep uplifting in prayers, the one who made promises to you

6- Keep a very small circle in the know until the miracle happens (God, You and the one who promised and perhaps a prayer partner) 

In addition, You can share it with your larger circle after it is done. That way, you minimize interference from Friendnemies. 

I hope this helps you to put things in perspective. 

Prayer:

I pray that those who made promises to you are enabled to keep it, and that God will be glorified, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 19th, 2023.

#28: Today’s Prayer- Faith For Miraculous Healings 2.

Bible Reading:

“Surely he hath…carried our sorrows.” (Isaiah 53:4b KJV)

Introduction:

Previously, we discussed the great significance of the verb borne.

Today, we shall discuss the second significant verb, carried, derived from Hebrew cabal. Which means, ‘to bear something as penalty” 

It is used also in Isaiah 53:11:

“For he shall bear their iniquities” 

The same word is used in both instances with respect to our sins and sicknesses. 

Remember in previous articles that we discussed that sin is the major cause of sickness.

Therefore, if Christ Jesus bore the penalty for my sins and bore my sicknesses, then I’m free from the burden of sin and the scourge of Sicknesses. 

I pray that your understanding will be enlightened, so that you can catch the revelation, that healings and DIVINE health are also included in the  salvation package.

Prayer

I pray also that from these articles, faith will grow up in you and you shall use the shield of faith always against ALL sicknesses, diseases and disorders that try to come against you- your beliefs system In the mighty name of Jesus Christ I pray.

#PrayerPoints4Today (10 mins)

1- Thank God as you spend time in worship and praying in tongues. 

2- If you are of the school of thought that your sickness is a penalty for your sin, then you are accusing God of unjustly extracting payment twice for sin, which is against the law of double jeopardy.

a)- Repent – apply the grace principle of 1 John 1:9.

b)- Ask God to forgive and to also help your unbelief. 

c)- Affirm that the Word of God is gaining ascendancy over all denominational dogmas and contrary beliefs that have made sickness breed in your mind and body. 

2- Command all the evil spirits of religion, unbelief, error, injustices, false accusations, and all other related demons, to leave your world and go at once to the feet of Jesus Christ.

3- Affirm that the Word of God is growing mightily in and through you, and producing what it says. 

4- Declare  that  nothing dies in you for the resurrection power is at work in you in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

5- Call out the name of whatever you were diagnosed with.  Tell it that its life-giving source has been cut off,  and it can No longer live in you, as in the days when you were ignorant to accommodate it.

6- Proclaim your healings and pray for all who are suffering from identical sicknesses and diseases. 

7- Thank God for your healings and pray in tongues and worship in songs. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #TheSpiritualWarrior, April 18th, 2023

Your Problems are Leading to Praises 👏

Dear friend, never allow your past painful experiences cripple your life.

Your expectations shall become manifesting blessings, if you do not give up.

Because things didn’t turn out well does not make you a failure or a reject! Those things were necessary evils that should make you a better person.

Take a cue from the Apostle Paul.

Despite all odds, he kept striving towards his life goals. 

He explained his strategy thus: “13…This one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before, 14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.” ( Philippians 3:13-14. KJV)

Your life’s goals are attainable:

1- Re-evaluate to identify the mistake.

2- Re-define your priorities. 

3- Re-invent yourself 

3- Re-strategize

Finally :

Holdfast to your confessions of faith. 

Refuse to back-down, back-off or back-up. 

Instead, press forward.

Develop the I CAN DO ALL THINGS ” Mentality. (Philippians 4:13)

Always affirm that your dreams, goals etc are born of God, therefore you are victorious over the world! (1 John 5:4)

If you believe in God, you must Believe in yourself.  Because God believes in you!

Do not allow narcissists or vile persons to make you think you are the problem.

Go forward!

#27: Today’s Prayer- Faith For Miraculous Healings 1

Bible Reading:

“Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.” (Isaiah 53:4a KJV)

Introduction:

Our opening scriptures have four important words; Borne, briefs, carried & sorrows- which we shall explain in order to help build up your faith for healing. 

Faith is the substance of what we believe.  And if you are  double minded, you’ll receive nothing from God.  For anything is possible if you believe. 

Firstly, the English word griefs, which is from the Hebrew cholly, is derived  from Hebrew  ‘chalah’ which means to be weak, sick, or afflicted, and is most often translated sickness.

Next, is  sorrows Hebrew makob which is generally rendered pain. 

Which explains why in Matthew 8:17, it is translated as:

“He himself took our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses”

Finally are these two very significant verbs, borne (Hebrew nasa) and carried (Hebrew cabal).

Borne is also used in Isaiah 53:12 – ” He bore the sins of many”

From the usage of the verb in both verses of Isaiah 53:4 & 12, the word borne carries the sense that in the same manner in which Jesus Christ bore our sins- that is by suffering as our substitute, He also bore our sicknesses by suffering for them as well.

That means that just as the substitutionary work of Christ on the Cross freed me from my sins which he bore, I am also freed from my sicknesses which he also bore. 

Therefore if there are no sins in my account, there should not be any sicknesses and diseases in my account as well. 

How can I have what Jesus Christ has carried away? I am freed from the degenerative effects of sins!!! Hallelujah 

People of God, rest in the knowledge that just as there is forgiveness , there are healings for anyone who believes this Truth! Hallelujah.

#PrayerPoints4Today (10 mins)

1- Thank God for the substitutionary work of Christ on the Cross that freed you from Sins and diseases and sicknesses.

2- Ask God to forgive your unbelief and to help you to believe HIS Word.

3- Caĺl out your condition and tell it that it’s stay has expired – Jesus Christ already carried it away. 

Fight it ! Resist it. Keep telling it to get out, proclaiming your healings in Jesus mighty name 

See you tomorrow. 

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly #TheSpiritualWarrior, April 17th 2023.

#26: Today’s Prayer: Miraculous healings 9- Causes of Sickness Summarized.

Bible Reading: 

Yet God, in his grace, freely makes us right in his sight. He did this through Christ Jesus when he freed us from the penalty for our sins.” (Romans 3:24 NLT)

Introduction:

The major causes of sicknesses that we have discussed are;

*The Sin factor, *The Genetic factor, *The evil spirits Factor (demonization) *The Aging Factor * Unhealthy lifestyle 

We established that God created Humanity as “very good”, and gave us volition ( the ability to choose).

Adam, representative of Humanity, chose to use his volition in a negative manner. He disobeyed God, and was cut off from the life-giving presence of God. 

That disobedience led to MAN ‘fall of Man from grace, and humanity becoming subservient to satan, activation of the law of sin and death,  and the commencement of the process of deterioration.

Since then, satan (with his forces of evils), sin, sickness, aging and death has plagued humanity.

The primary cause of Sickness is Sin. However, sin in the genes introduced corruption to the bloodline (Genesis 5:3), resulting in genetic diseases and disorders.

The secondary causes of Sickness are; evil spirits, unhealthy lifestyle, and Aging.

Furthermore, God did not leave Humanity in that helpless state.  In His infinite mercy, He intervened. He sent Jesus Christ to reconcile Humanity to Him. 

By dying on the Cross, Jesus Christ paid the wages of sin (Romans 3:23). 

Which freed humanity from the law of sin and death, and made regeneration , healings, Divine Health and long life possible.

In addition, HE delivered us from satan’s domain, restored our world to us, and gave us authority over all the forces of  evils. 

(Read 2 Cor.5:17, 1 Peter 2:24, Isa. 53:5, Matt. 8:17, Col. 1:13, Luke 10:19)

Anyone who places faith in Christ Jesus shall be saved. 

So you see, your healing is a done-deal! You should no longer accommodate sicknesses in your Body nor grant it further liberties in your Soul and Body!

The name of Jesus Christ and faith in Christ Jesus give complete healings to those who believe.  (study Acts 3:16)

#PrayerPoints4Today: (10mins)

1- Thank God for the Christ sacrifice that brought salvation, forgiveness of sins, deliverance, healings, reconciliation, restoration, and power over sin.

2- Affirm your Faith:

*-I … am born of God and thus not subject to the genetic diseases and disorders of Human descent.

*- I am filled with all the fullness of God and fully led by the Holy Spirit. 

*- Divinity is tabernacled in my Body and I can no longer yield to the basest instincts of the human nature

*- The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus at work in me outlaws death in my life. 

*- I have the mind of Christ therefore, wisdom, righteousness, salvation, deliverance, healings, and wholeness are manifesting through me to reach the world and point people to Jesus Christ 

*I shall fulfill God’s purpose for my life, in Jesus Christ’s mighty name .

See you tomorrow.
