Subject: Email from London - Health & Wholeness
My dearest family in Christ,
How are all of you? I was awaken at three this morning, all of a sudden I was overwhelmed with words of faith concerning healing that I had to write it down on my notebook before I forget. I hope that after reading this, all of you will be blessed and receive the healing and wholeness you have been praying for.
Make Jesus the ultimate source of your healing, blessing, wisdom and knowledge.
When I was in college, I had the desire to do my final year degree in United Kingdom. I found out about the cost and it was really expensive at that time that I decided to bury my wish and complete my degree locally. When I started working, I heard some of my church members talked about this new tour package to Israel which was new to Malaysians at that time. The tour package cost almost RM7,000 and I was thinking in my heart that it would take me years to save enough money for it. But God never forgotten my wishes and here I am in London working which before 2007, I would have never imagined possible. Not only that, I was able to bring my parents with me to Israel beginning of last year. Not that my parents couldn't afford but I wanted to honour them financially because I know all my blessings come from our Good Lord. You see, what we think is impossible, it's possible with God! We may forget our prayers and wishes but God never forget and He makes all things beautiful in His time (Ecclesiastes 3:11a)
My wishes can be considered secondary in comparison to health and wholeness that Jesus Christ died to give us that by His stripes, we are healed and made whole (Isaiah 53:5 and 1 Peter 2:24). In Matthew 7:11 & Luke 11:13 (Jesus said), "if you know how to give good gifts to your children. So how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him?"
I know some of you received discouraging medical report that you will not be able to conceive or you have inherited diseases that you are afraid it may pass on to your offspring. You've spent lots of money seeking treatment/cure, the story goes on and on...sometimes, you think you have lived all these years with it and got used with it. But, I can assure you it's not God's plan that you dwell any longer in your sickness. It's time to receive your healing!
"Right believing produces right living" according to one of my favourite pastors and shall I add, it produces right and excellent results too!
Remember Sarah who was barren but gave birth to Isaac (the child of God's promise) at ninety years old? Remember Rachel whom God opened her womb and she gave birth to Joseph who later became Prime Minister of Egypt and supplied food for his people during famine? She also had another son named Benjamin. Samson's mother too was sterile but God enabled her to have a son to deliver Israel from the hands of the Philistines and not forgetting Elizabeth who gave birth to John the Baptist at her old age. God remembered Hannah's prayer and she gave birth to Prophet Samuel and had other sons and daughters. There were many women in the Bible that suffered from the condition, God opened their womb and they gave birth to champions - people that left a significant mark in the history of mankind. Our enemies know that God has good plans for us, plans to prosper us not to harm us, plans to give us hope and a future (Jeremiah 29:11) and he will always want to discourage us by giving us lying symptoms though it seems real to us but it's not going to linger for long in our body unless we allow it, give in and surrender to it.
The enemies want to shake our trust in the Lord. But if we believe in God's Word that He is our healer and we are healed, then the diseases will be shaken off our body forever. A miracle you need, a miracle you'll get! Confess healing scripture verses against diseases and the enemies. God said, "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away."- Matthew 24:35. Miracles took place in the Old Testamant, New Testament during Jesus' time and the Apostles and are still taking place radically in the present time. God's word still remains and will remain effective forever.
Our receiving of healing should not base on other's experience as we are told in the Bible not to judge others. But we know our God. He is real. We have this relationship with Him and we are sure He will not leave us nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5 and Joshua 1:9). God wants us to prosper and be in health, even as our soul prospers. (3 John 1:2) Our receiving of healing is based on Christ and His finished work at the cross.
When I was a teenager, my skin would break out with itchy rashes and spots each time I ate seafood e.g. prawn, sting rays, etc. The same happened when I ate eggs. My skin was so sensitive that I couldn't touch any detergent or washing liquid otherwise I would have "printless" fingers. My face used to have lots of pimples too. I spent lots of money on products to cure my skin conditions, some worked but after awhile lost its effectiveness and some made me suffer from side-effects (uneven skin tone, weight lost, hair started falling, etc) that I had to stop using or consuming them. But praise be to God that I got hold of a revelationary teaching of God's word in 2004 that I received my healing ever since. How it all started? I listened to Pastor Joseph Prince's sermon every day as faith comes by hearing and hearing the word of the Lord (Romans 10:17) and I also attended Christian seminars that taught us to confess healing scripture verses daily until we receive our healing that now I am healed and able to eat all the food I want and wash dishes and clothes bare hands without fear.
An excellent book that I highly recommend on healing is " Health and Wholeness through the Holy Communion" by Pastor Joseph Prince. Let us not get complacent with diseases. If God said He is our healer then it is so! He is the real and true source of healing that lasts with no side effects.
Believe and be made whole. Stand on God's Word and His promises, then you are on unshakable ground while your diseases are being shaken off you!
"For everyone who asks receives, and he who seeks finds, and to him who knocks it will be opened." Matthew 7:8
"If you abide in me and my words abide in you, you can ask for anything you want, and you will receive it." John 15:7
Instead of seeking healing, let us seek the Healer; instead of seeking blessing, let us seek the Blessor. Let us not chase after healing and blessings without acknowledging the source of it all that is Christ Himself.
Finally, "A merry (joyful and cheerful) heart does good like a medicine; but a broken (depression, sorrowful, crushed) spirit dries the bones." Proverbs 17:22
In Christ, I am Happy, Saved, and Loved! Remember this Sunday School song? Trust and believe like a little child and have faith like a mustard seed, a miracle you need, a miracle you'll get!
God said, "So shall my word be that goes forth out of my mouth: it shall not return to me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it." Isaiah 55:11.
Your sister in Christ,
Josephine
