I was challenged to take God's power of healing to a new level. Praying for healing for people isn't often because of my lack of faith in the effectiveness of my prayer, and the fear that my prayer would not be answered. But God reminded me that it is not my lack of faith in the effectiveness of my prayer I should worry about more than the faith I should have in God who demonstrated his power through Jesus frequently throughout the book of Matthew. (I browsed through on Wednesday in preparation for bible study facilitation for the lushates). I am often encouraged by the testimonies of some of my friends and their involvement in the healing ministry as well.
God represents perfect love and perfect love casts out all fear, that I would trust that my prayer will be answered and sometimes not immediately because of other external forces present.
Today, 5 days later, during Pastor Prince's sermon, he said that there are people whose souls are prospering yet they do not believe in the prayer of complete healing for self and others. He said that there are people growing in the Lord, growing in the word, fulfilling the great commission but did not prosper in the area of healing. Along with the challenge received in HK, I think God is speaking to me in this area, that I should not want to prosper merely in my soul, but in the aspect of the faith in the healing power of God.
When I read Rev. Yap's transcript, the message of healing came up again, how coincidence that can be, or not; to receive three similar messages in 5 days.
Seems like a confirmation of sorts. Yet my faith is not at that level for my soul to be convicted and my body be in line with my soul. God help me.
