PONDER AND PRACTICE

“who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness — by whose stripes you were healed.” 1 Peter 2:24

Dearly beloved in Christ, 

                I greet you in the name of the risen Lord Jesus Christ! 

                       Once as I was getting ready to leave for a meeting a sister came to the place where I stayed with her husband. Before leaving for the meeting, I began to pray for the sister. Then the Lord revealed a spirit coming from crown flowers and so I rebuked the spirit that came from the flower. I commanded the spirit to leave her. Then immediately she began to squeal. She was a non-Christian. She had had dreams daily in which she was offered this crown flower. It meant that the husband would die. So she refused it in the dream and would keep wailing. One day some sisters had shared with her about Christ Jesus. The next day as she was sweeping the front courtyard, she noticed a handbill that came floating in wind and stuck to her leg. In that notice was mentioned that prayers would be offered for those afflicted with the devil. So she enquired about the address and came for prayer to the place where I stayed. Her husband was running a sweetmeat stall in Palayamkottai. He was affected by diabetes and his legs were sorely afflicted up to the bone. The doctors had told them that the leg should be amputated up to the knee or else he would die. So they were seeking ways for healing to be effected. In a few days after the prayer, the wound was healed and he became all right. She began to worship the Lord Jesus Christ with the whole heart. Dear Brother/ Sister, the Lord Jesus Christ, as the Bible says, has borne our diseases on the cross. The word ‘by His stripes we were healed” would be fulfilled. Do not be afraid of the devil or diseases. Jesus Christ who is the same today lives. He will do a miracle. May the Lord bless you! Bro. C. Ebenezer Paul
