Disease and Healing

But, if I believe that sickness in to the body what sin is to the soul, then no disease will intimidate me.”

A prayer warrior or an intercessor?
Posted: April 27, 2009 Filed under: to be like Jesus 3 Comments »“A prayer warrior can pray for a thing to be done without necessarily being willing for the answer to come through himself; and he is not even bound to continue in the prayer until it is answered. But an intercessor is responsible to gain his objective, and he can never be free till he has gained it. He will go to any lengths for the prayer to be answered through himself. But once a position of intercession has been gained, tested and proved, the intercessor can claim all the blessings on that grade, whenever it is God’s will for him to do so.”
The law of intercession

Christ is our intercessor because He took the place of each one prayed for.” – Rees Howells

Sometimes I wonder this is how I see due to blindness of my eyes or veils that my enemy put over my eyes so I can’t see God’s beauty…
kingdom of heaven has suffered violence
Posted: February 23, 2009 Filed under: to be like Jesus | Tags: Jesus, John the Baptist, Matthew, Matthew 11:12, Repentance, Violence Leave a comment »“From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence, and the violent take it by force.” – Matthew 11:12 ESV
I spent good amount of time thinking and praying about this verse for a while. I looked up commentaries but never found an answer that satisfy me or felt what this verse is really saying. After many days struggling and wrestling with this verse, finally Jesus spoke me and explained to me what this is about.
From the days of John the Baptist, the time gospel of repentance preached, the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence because enemy hates God’s people to repent and they are bring full force to make us not to repent. It could been easy to enter the kingdom of heaven by repenting and receive Jesus as our Lord and savior, as a believer we got to fight to get into the kingdom now.
It may sounds like by work you get into the kingdom of heaven but by no means that is what i’m talking about. As mature followers of Christ, we should rise up as army fighting against enemy in repentance. Repenting our own sin, repenting be half of previous generations, our generation, and generations to come.
If enemy became so violence due to the message of repentance, this message got to be very important isn’t it? I need to go back to Christanity 101 and learn about repentance again. There must be more. As God reveals me more about who I am I wonder if I ever repented for the way I am. ahah.
I really cry out for revival and truly believe revival starts with repentance.
I’m not a bible scholar, seminarian, nor pastors, and etc. I’m just a person who loves to be like Jesus ahah.
Any other understanding or revelation, please help this brother out!
