#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.

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.

#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.

#2: Relationship Tips

Don’t sell yourself for less…

Gurl, don’t let no man make you feel worthless. You are priceless.  And the blessing some man has been praying for.  

Shut down this present relationship that is taking everything- draining you!

Go back to the prayer closet.

Talk to God about the desires of your womanhood, and let HIM use it for HIS glory.

As swiftly as the hawk swoops to grab a chick so shall your God ordained Beloved swoop on you. 

You shall share that testimony with us inbox , in Jesus name.

For thus says the Lord: 

“You were sold for nothing, and you shall be redeemed without money.” (Isaiah 52:3 AMPC)

Shalom from Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior, April 15th. 2023

Have you misplaced your Trust?

Dear people of God. You may be feeling very hurt because your trust was violated. 

This article will help you recover from this emotional abuse.

The Bible says, “Lean on, trust in, and be confident in the Lord with all your heart and mind and do not rely on your own insight or understanding.” (Proverbs 3:5 AMPC)

When we judge humans by our own insight or understandings, we’ll very likely miss their hidden flaws. For according to Shakespeare, “There’s no art to find the mind’s construction in the face’ (Macbeth)

 Hence it is better to trust in the Lord than to put confidence in Man (Psalm 118:8, kJV). For God sees not as man sees. Where man looks at the outward appearance, Godlooks at the heart. (See 1 Samuel 16:7 NASB1995)

 What Trust Involves:

To trust God is to have strong confidence in Him.

*- Do you believe that God loves you?

*- Do you believe that God is just and will Never be partial in judgment?

*- Do you believe that God’s thoughts towards you are thoughts of good and not evil, and to help you accomplish the purpose of your life? (See Jeremiah 29:11)

Ponder this :

*- If your earthly parents won’t give you a  snake as fish or bread as stone why can’t you trust God to give you good gifts and do right by you? (Matthew 7:11)

You can overcome trust issues:

Many of us developed trust issues because people we trusted betrayed us. And have now transferred these trust issues into how we relate with God. 

But God’s Word already cautioned that ‘the heart of man is full of deceit, desperately wicked, and beyond our understanding’ (See Jeremiah 17:9)

And if you put your trust in Humans, you activate a curse.(Read Jeremiah 17:5)

Curses enable failures.

When you trust people and you are betrayed, it affects the equilibrium of your life. And when you are disoriented, you can’t make progress or be productive.

Sad to say, but some people never come out of the pit of despair they are plunged into,due to misplaced trust. And they end up with debilitating mental health issues.

If you placed your trust in any Human being, you misplaced that trust. 

GOD commands that you love others as you love You. He didn’t say place your trust in them (See Mark 12:31)

If instead of love, you chose to trust, You gave access to that emotional abuser to take advantage of you.

 Repent and ask God to turn your mistake into a miracle and use it for His glory.

Personal Testimony;

Don’t think I am unfeeling or have all my ducks in a row. I am still a work in progress. 

I had a life defining encounter again, that made me struggle with trust for God. I said again  because something similar had happened in my younger days. 

This repeat lesson was necessary to reinforce the forgotten lesson that,’the Human heart is full of deceit and desperately wicked. 

Like any mere human, I blamed God for my misfortune. I lashed out at HIM for allowing such evil happen to me

In response, God pointed out that HE prompted me several times as to what was coming.  But I chose to ignore His Word and leaned on my own insight and understanding.

If, like me, you have misplaced your trust in humans instead of in God, repent and replace your trust in God, and  you will recover fast. And your emotions will heal completely.

Blessings of Trusting God:

1- You will enjoy stability, well balanced mind, boldness, bravery (2 Timothy 1:7, Isaiah 26:3; Psalm 125:1)

2- You will enjoy manifold blessings (Psalm 34:8, 40:4)

3-  You’ll Feel secure for God protects and defends those who trust in Him (Psalm 5:11, 18:30, 91:4)

For more blessings,  Read Jeremiah 17: 7-8 – very reassuring promises. 

Prayer:

I pray for healings over your wounded Soul, and ask that all past painful memories are deleted and you are granted a new lease of life, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ our Savior.

#24: Today’s Prayer: Miraculous healings 7- The Aging Factor.

Bible Reading:

“Moses was 120 years old when he died; his eye was not dim nor his natural force abated. [Deut. 31:2.]”(Deuteronomy 34:7 AMPC)

Introduction:

As one advances in age, ability, vitality and mobility diminish due to the degenerative effects of sin on the world/ the process of deterioration. 

But, we know that the Believer is regenerated and shoukd not degenerate nor function under ‘the law of sin and death’ (Romans 8:2).

Shalom From Hephzibah Christly, TheSpiritualWarrior,  April 14, 2023.

You shall come out of that valley of despair!

For the LORD says, ‘You will not see wind or rain, but the valley will be filled with water, and you will drink-” (2 Kings 3:16)

Greetings people of God. 

There are times when you wonder whether the wilderness journey would ever end.

And just when you think you are mastering the challenges of life in the wilderness, you end up in the valley of despair.

The thing is that a valley is  an elongated depression in the Earth’s surface, usually  surrounded by hills or mountains. 

Anyone in the valley depends on rainfall, streams or rivers as their water supply. 

Picture a scenario where you are in this deep depression, and your sources of sustenance are cut off.  No food, no drinkable water and no real friends. 

A similar situation happened to an old Testament king who went to war. Right in the valley, their water supply dried up. The men and horses were dehydrating fast and needed divine intervention. 

And God showed up strong for them.

Our opening scripture is for you who is having  a valley experience. 

You shall not die in the valley.  You are coming out healed, victorious and better nourished than when you went in there. God will do right by you. He can’t ever abandon you in the valley. You are going to have your mountain-top experiences, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ ♥️

#23: Today’s Prayer: Miraculous healings- The evil spirits factor (b)

Bible Reading:

“Fools, because of their rebellious way, And because of their iniquities, were afflicted.” (Psalms 107:17 NASB1995)

Continuation:

We said earlier that sin removes immunity and cited Ecclesiastes 10:8.

Did you do the prayer assignment from yesterday’s post taken from 2 Corinthians 13:5, which encourages you to test and evaluate yourself,  to see whether you are holding to your faith and showing proper fruits for it?

If you did not take the self test, it would be a good idea to do so today. 

Because, when you disobey the Word of God, you are rebelling against God’s authority.

 Rebellion is opposition against God’s authority. Which was exactly what our first parents did back in the Garden (Genesis 3). Their actions put Humanity under satan’s dominion. 

And,the spirit of infirmity or demon of sickness, is one of satan’s forces of evils.

Our opening verse shows that fools are afflicted through Rebelliousness (Psalm 107:17) And fools are they who deny the existence of God in their hearts (Psalm 14:1).

The Word of God is the rod of correction that shall drive out that foolishness which is bound in the heart of a child (Proverbs 22:15) 

The state of your heart/mind, open up your Body for demonic torment through sicknesses.

Therefore,  stop being childish  and do what the Word of God says to do.

Every manufacturer has a manual for the smooth running of their product. 

The Bible is God’s operational manual for Humanity.

No matter the diagnoses of the sickness,  confront it spiritually first  because, the demon of infirmities is at the base of it. 

And it’s stronghold is your Rebellion against God’s authority. So, if you do not alig your lifestyle with God’s Word, by doing as it says, you are being foolish and childish. 

For Example, His Word says:

“Honor your father and your mother, as the LORD your God has commanded you, so that your days may be long and that it may go well with you in the land that the LORD your God is giving you. (Ephesians 6:2)

This command is very clear on what you should do to be blessed with wellness, longevity and prosperity. 

And it is not conditioned to the goodness or badness of your parents. It is a Divine command and your part is to gladly obey it- do as it says.

As you read through the Bible,  which is your Manufacturers Manual, you will discover principles that will keep you above the reach of cancers, arthritis,  asthma,  mental health challenges, etc.

And even if you are already caught in satan’s Web of deceit, the Good News is that JESUS CHRIST IS SALVATION, HEALINGS, DELIVERANCE ETC for whosoever comes to Him.

Resolve to no longer give the spirit of Infirmities or demons of sicknesses,  etc, any foothold in your life.

#PrayerPoints4Today (15 mins)

1- Thank God for His progressive Revelation knowledge of His Word.

2- Know from where you have fallen, ask forgiveness and do the needful. 

3- Ask God to search your mind and to also guide you to correct your transgressions and Iniquities, so that the afflictors and afflictions will cease, and not come again.

4- Command the spirit of afflictions and whatever demons are related to whatever you are diagnosed with,  to leave you and your bloodlines cat once!

5- Thank God that although you inherited the genetic tendencies to sin, and are culpable by personal sins,   affirm that the sacrifices of Christ Jesus, has justified and made you the righteous.

6- Boldly declare that the spirits of infirmities and all the demons of sicknesses and diseases, have no jurisdiction over your body to afflict, torment, disable, disorder or disrupt the restored Godly order, in the matchless name of Jesus Christ. 

7. Thank God that the power to heal, save, deliver, restore and prosper is flowing through you, to every member in your family, church groups and oneline members of your pages and ministries.

8. Pray in Tongues – let the Holy Spirit sync your prayers with God’s perfect will. Spend sometime to worship in songs. 

Hallelujah and Shalom

We continue tomorrow.

#22: Today’s Prayer: Miraculous healings 5- The evil spirits factor (a)

Bible Reading:

“And there was a woman there who for eighteen years had had an infirmity caused by a spirit (a demon of sickness). She was bent completely forward and utterly unable to straighten herself up or to look upward.” (Luke 13:11 AMPC)

Introduction:

Previously, we discussed how Sin in the genes made Humanity vulnerable to diseases and sickness.

Sin also put Humanity and their world under satan’s jurisdiction (Romans 6:16)

And as our opening scripture reveals, evil spirits and demons can directly cause sickness. 

All the one-third fallen angels who joined satan to rebel against God, are evil spirits.  Satan as their boss is d-evil.

However, demons are offsprings of the fallen angels who the Bible talks about as ” angels who did not keep their own domain, but abandoned their proper abode…Jude 1:6.

Verse 7 gives insight into what they did made God to restrain them 

“in eternal bonds under darkness for the judgment of the great day, just as Sodom and Gomorrah and the cities around them, since they in the same way as these indulged in gross immorality and went after strange flesh, are exhibited as an example in undergoing the punishment of eternal fire.” (Jude 1:7 NASB1995)

And conclusively, Genesis 6: 4 says,

“The Nephilim were on the earth in those days, and also afterward, when the sons of God came in to the daughters of men, and they bore children to them… “(Genesis 6:4 NASB1995)

*) For more on this subject, you need to get my book- 

Demons Deactivated1 (Understanding Spiritual Warfare) by Hephzibah Christly, Ph.D. use any search engine 

From the scriptures presented, we deduce that Demons are terrestrial hybrid creatures, the result of an abominable sexual relationship between some fallen angels and Humans. 

These malevolent and malignant evil spirits,  lost their Body during the flood judgment. And because of affinity with humans,  they seek to possess the Human body.

And when possession is not possible, demons afflict, control, intimidate, manipulate, obsess, vex or torment humans.

Demonization is the resultant condition of demonic activity.

Demons can only access Humans through the route that sins open. 

Sin removes spiritual immunity. (Read Ecclesiastes 10:8)

Hence it is important to quickly apply the grace principle of 1 John 1:9, in order to quickly mend the broken down walls. 

To be continued
