Just wanted to share something to inspire hope. I’ve been seeing little improvements ever since I started reading the bible and seriously praying and having people pray over me as well. Honestly I’m not kidding, since I sincerely promised God i wasn’t going to leave him by committing suicide, and started prayer and having others pray over me, I’ve actually been able to laugh again, even laughing sometimes to the point where my sides hurt.
I believe the only way to pray is in Jesus’ name, because it says in the bible “no one comes to the Father except through me”. Christianity is the only way to salvation, no religions offer salvation and no amount of witchcraft or “spirit” worship brings salvation. Jesus is “the Way, the Truth and the Life” - John 14:6
Also there are no prophets which offer physical and mental healing the way Jesus can. I grew up in the Bahai faith which believes that all religions are from the same God and has a lot of “progressive” ideas in it, refers to God as the All-seeing, all-knowing, All-compassionate, all wise etc. And guess what it says about healing in the Bahai Faith? See your doctor. Lmao. Guess what Christianity says about psych drugs? It calls them “pharmakeia”, meaning “sorcery” which in the bible is an “abomination” to God. Deutoronomy 18:10-11. What is invega if anything other than an abomination?
Jesus has true healing power, there are millions of testimonies all over the world about people being able to walk again, cancers disappearing and vision restored from PRAYER in Jesus name. Even brain damage miracles, I’ve seen quite a few online. This is because once we accept Jesus as our Lord and Saviour and are born again, “The Spirit of God, who raised Jesus from the dead, lives in you”. - Romans 8:11 Because of this many have been raised from the dead with prayer in Jesus’ name. I didn’t believe it at first but I do now. “And just as God raised Christ Jesus from the dead, he will give life to your mortal bodies by this same Spirit living within you.”
This is also why it’s important for us to have people pray over us, believers who truly believe in this verse (there aren’t many in the denominations who do): “Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father. 13 And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. 14 You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.” John 14: 12-14
There are Christians who have deep faith who believe in these words literally. Most Christians don’t, that’s why we don’t see mass healing all over the world. To be a Christian is one thing, but to truly have faith in the living Word of God is another.
“Then Jesus answered and said to her, “O woman, great is your faith! Let it be to you as you desire.” And her daughter was healed from that very hour.” Matthew 15:28
“Therefore I tell you, whatever you ask in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.” Mark 11:24
So we need people who are rooted in the Word of God to pray over us, to “stand in the gap” where our faith is lacking (Ezekiel 22:30) as well as us building our own faith, which comes through prayer, reading the bible, fasting, repentance and worship. Also taking a break from social media and anything that fills our heads with crap and makes us forget about what we just prayed about two seconds ago.
For me personally I believe I wouldn’t have come to Jesus any other way than out of total desperation like this, my life before was full of pride and lust and hedonism etc, I had no idea that I had anything to repent for and if you told me I needed to “repent” I would have absolutely laughed at you or torn you a new one. Repentance is not about rocking back and forth counting rosary beads and pretending to be ashamed. When you seek the Holy Spirit, you are guided gently to remember things that need to be surrendered to God and you start to become humbled. Repentance comes from love, not fear and shame and condemnation. The Holy Spirit renews our hearts, persuading us to repent of our sins and confess Jesus Christ as Lord. By the same Spirit we are led to trust in Divine mercy, whereby we are forgiven all our sins; justified by faith alone through the merit of Jesus Christ, our Savior alone, and granted the free gift of eternal life. (John 14:15-17) I think that being in this place of suffering is a true opportunity to finally for the first time in our lives, form a relationship with God and build faith out of nothing, even if it is very small.
“Keep asking, and it will be given to you. Keep searching, and you will find. Keep knocking, and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who searches finds, and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened. What man among you, if his son asks him for bread, will give him a stone? Or if he asks for a fish, will give him a snake? If you then, who are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give good things to those who ask Him!” Matthew 7:7-12
If anyone has any questions about any of this or wants to know more about Jesus and why He died for us feel free to message me
I’m also thinking about setting up a discord group for people who are interested in faith-healing from APs, if you’re interested like this post or send me a message!
God Bless y’all
