Genesis 30:25.
When Rachel had borne Joseph, Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I
may go to my own home and country.
26. Give me my wives and my
children for whom I have served you, and let me go; for you know the service which
I have given you.” 27. But Laban said to him, “If you will allow me
to say so, I have learned by divination that Yahweh has blessed me
because of you; 28. name your wages, and I will give it.” 29.
Jacob said to him, “You yourself know how I have served you, and how
your cattle have fared with me.
30. For you had little before I
came, and it has increased abundantly; and the Lord has blessed you wherever I
turned. But now when shall I provide for my own household also?” 31.
He said, “What shall I give you?” Jacob said, “You shall not give me
anything; if you will do this for me, I will again feed your flock and keep
it: 32. let me pass through all your flock today, removing from it every
speckled and spotted sheep and every black lamb, and the spotted and speckled
among the goats; and such shall be my wages.
33. So my honesty will answer
for me later, when you come to look into my wages with you. Every one that is
not speckled and spotted among the goats and black among the lambs, if found
with me, shall be counted stolen.”
34. Laban said, “Good! Let it be
as you have said.”
35. But that day Laban removed the he-goats that
were striped and spotted, and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted,
every one that had white on it, and every lamb that was black, and put them in
charge of his sons; 36. and he set a distance of three days’ journey
between himself and Jacob; and Jacob fed the rest of Laban’s flock.
37. Then Jacob took fresh rods of poplar and
almond and plane, and peeled white streaks in them, exposing the white of the
rods. 38. He set the rods which he had peeled in front of the flocks in the
runnels, that is, the watering troughs, where the flocks came to drink. And
since they bred when they came to drink,
39. the flocks bred in front of
the rods and so the flocks brought forth striped, speckled, and spotted. 40.
And Jacob separated the lambs, and set the faces of the flocks toward
the striped and all the black in the flock of Laban; and he put his own droves
apart, and did not put them with Laban’s flock. 41. Whenever the stronger
of the flock were breeding Jacob laid the rods in the runnels before the eyes
of the flock, that they might breed among the rods, 42. but for the feebler
of the flock he did not lay them there; so the feebler were Laban’s, and the stronger
Jacob’s.
2 Corinthians 12: 1. It doesn’t do any good, but I must continue bragging. I will now
move on to visions and revelations from the Sovereign. 2. I
knew a man in Messiah 14 years ago. This man was caught up to the third heaven.
I don’t know whether he was in his physical body or not--Elohim knows. 3.
But I know such a person. Again, I don’t know if he was in or out of his
physical body--Elohim knows. 4. This man was caught up to Paradise. He heard things that cannot be re-told; a man
is not allowed to tell such things to other men. 5. I will brag about
such a man. I won’t brag about myself--only about my weaknesses.
6. Even if I wanted to brag, I would not be
foolish, because I’m speaking the truth. However, I don’t want to do that, or
else someone might think more of me than he does when he sees me or hears
me. 7. I’ve seen some very unusual revelations. Elohim gave me something, so that I would
not become too proud--a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan. It always tortures me, stopping me from
becoming too proud. 8. I begged Yahweh about this three times. I
wanted it to go away from me. 9. He said this to me: “My favor is enough for you. Power is made perfect in weakness.” So I will be very happy to brag about my weaknesses, so that the power of Messiah will rest upon me. 10. This is why, for Messiah, I can take pleasure in weaknesses, insults, hardships, persecutions, and disasters. Because when I am weak, that’s when I am really strong.
John 16:21. A woman in childbirth suffers, because
her time has come; but when she has given birth to the child she forgets the
suffering
23. When
that day comes, you will not ask me any questions. In all truth I tell you, anything you ask from the Father he will
grant in my name. 24. Until now you
have not asked anything in my name. Ask
and you will receive, and so your joy will be complete.
25. I have
been telling you these things in veiled language. The hour is coming when I shall no longer speak to you in veiled
language
but tell you about the Father in plain words. 26. When that day comes you will ask in my
name; and I do not say that I shall pray to the Father for you, 27. because the
Father himself loves you for loving me, and believing that I came from God.
“If we can’t think for ourselves, if we’re unwilling
to question authority, then we’re just putty in the hands of those in power.
But if the citizens are educated and form their own opinions, then those in
power work for us. In every country, we should be teaching our children the
scientific method and the reasons for a Bill of Rights. With it comes a certain
decency, humility and community spirit. In the demon-haunted world that we
inhabit by virtue of being human, this may be all that stands between us and
the enveloping darkness.” --Carl Sagan
Dimension:
A physical property, such as mass,
length, time, or a combination thereof, regarded as a fundamental measure or as
one of a set of fundamental measures of a physical quantity
Space of four dimensions,
an imaginary kind of extension, which is assumed to have length, breadth,
thickness, and also a fourth imaginary dimension. Space of five or six, or more
dimensions is also sometimes assumed in mathematics.
The Spiritual Dimension
There are many unperceived aspects to what
we see and know as reality. The
ancients called these unseen spaces “heavens.” Depending on which old book you read, there are three or seven or
ten. As we continue deeper into the
subject of birthing miracles by faith in Yahweh, we’ll consider what some
ancients called “the third heaven,” what religious people call “the spiritual
realm” and what scientists call “multi-dimensional reality.”
We generally perceive reality in three
dimensions only. Look at a
“substantial” item
(such as this heavy pulpit).
We perceive that it’s solid and heavy; it has height and depth
and volume. Everything seems
to have these three spatial aspects -- height, depth and volume – plus many aspects
like shape, distance, color, size and texture. Though we think we see a lot, we’re created with serious
perceptual limitations.
Things in the spiritual realm are like
those in the natural
(like this pulpit) – there is height, depth and volume, but
also a fourth characteristic that can’t be easily described, because it
can’t be readily perceived with eyes, ears, nose, hands or tongue. When those who have perceived this fourth
dimension try to describe it, they can only do so in the language of visions:
I looked and there was an open door in
heaven. I heard what sounded like a trumpet: “Come up here!” Immediately, I was
in the spiritual realm. There was a throne in heaven with someone like precious
jewels sitting. There was a rainbow around the throne like an emerald. Lightning, thunder, and rumblings came from
the throne. Seven lamps were burning in front and there was a crystal lake with
four beasts around it. They had eyes everywhere – in front and behind. Each had
six wings and was covered with eyes.
(Paraphrase, Revelation 4:1-6)
What the revelator saw he could only
describe in terms he knew. St. Paul
says that what he perceived in the third heaven was “so astounding that it’s
beyond a person’s power to describe or put in words”
(2
Corinthians 12:14 TLB+). We haven’t vocabulary for it because we
haven’t the senses for it. The
spiritual realm is ambiguous and contradictory. But even carnal scientists have now proven that the spiritual
realm exists. It’s present in
everyone, everything, everywhere: it’s an integral and essential part
of all reality, whether we have senses to perceive it or not.
Scientists inform us that the laws of
the spiritual realm are different than – and may circumvent those of – the
natural realm, causing things we perceive to behave in unusual ways. Scientists call these “anomalies,” others
call them “phenomena,” “miracles” or “moves of the spirit.” In fact, when we do something as simplistic
as praying in expectation of receiving, we’re doing our best to
modify our perceived world through supernatural means.
Some people seem to have a natural “sixth
sense” that may be supplied by either the Holy Spirit or some foul occult
spirit. Some people try to work with
spiritual beings to change the future – for one reason or the other – for the
good or the evil. They call their spiritual
contacts angels, ghosts, ascended masters or “souls of the departed.” Some claim to be able of their own powers to
suspend the laws of nature.
Fourth
Dimensional Intelligences Revealed!
Others say this is all hogwash – that
spirits, angels and devils don’t exist at all.
Dr.
Carl Sagan, astronomer and author, told the world in his books and
television series that multidimensional reality is a fact. At the same time, he denied the existence of
devils and angels. However, this great
man of science wrote the following unsettling words about such creatures in his
bestseller, The Cosmos.
“If a fourth-dimensional creature
existed it could, in our three-dimensional universe, appear and dematerialize
at will, change shape remarkably, pluck us out of locked rooms and make us
appear from nowhere. It could also turn
us inside out. There are several ways
in which we can be turned inside out: the least pleasant would result in our
viscera and internal organs being on the outside and the entire cosmos...on the
inside. I am not sure I like the idea.”
The Bible agrees with the scientist – or
should we say that the scientist agrees with the Bible. Scriptures are steeped in the
fourth-dimensional – in the language of vision and revelation – of heavens,
hells, torments, paradise, lands, banqueting houses and mansions in glory,
populated by billions of cherubim, seraphim, malachim, ophanim, nephilim,
gibborim, angels, spirits, watchers, beasts, living creatures, devils, demons,
demigods, principalities, powers, evil ones and wicked entities in the sky and
cast down to earth. Though these unseen
creatures may have the ability to turn a human being inside out, Yahweh
only allows them to try to convince people to tear themselves apart.
Re-Birthing
Technology
The Bible also informs us that the
three-dimensional realm we live in was first incubated in the spiritual
realm before it was birthed. At the
proper time, Elohim spoke the word from somewhere we’ll never see, and
everything we can see sprang forth – and all of that was
good. But then the rebellion came –
there was “war in heaven” pitting the disobedient against the obedient – the
evil against the good – and since then, the entire wonderful creation has been
broken and torn, soiled and spoiled, and now desperately needing peace and
re-creation. That’s why it’s so evident
that we live in a broken world – our lives are broken – our families
are broken – we hate – we kill – we despoil – for the war goes on and on and on
– both in heaven and on earth.
That’s why Yahweh sent his Son from his
womb; so that we may share in the therapeutic, healing power of the spiritual
realm by allowing him to incubate us afresh, then re-birth us in his
glorious spiritual likeness. We’re
selected for a mission – to restore ruptured creation by spiritual means
and supernatural powers. We’re
“born anew.” We’ve become spiritual
beings while yet living in flesh and blood.
John 3:5,6. Jesus says: In all truth I
tell you, no one can enter the Kingdom without being born through water and
spirit; what is born of human nature is human; what is born of spirit is
spirit.
We boast in our newness, that we need no
longer contact spirits, gods or psychic guides for anything, for we are
now ourselves spirit and have access to the highest power of
all. And as spiritual beings, we work
with Yahweh to expose and destroy evil, bring peace and reconciliation, and
thus restore creation to its pristine goodness – day-by-day,
task-by-task, minute-by-minute – until we present our world to him perfected.
Let’s Go
Into More Detail
Now, how do we recreate and modify reality
using spiritual stuff? How do we
fight the battle for creation and life?
We see how He did it:
Genesis 1:1-3 (SSBE) In the beginning Elohim
created the heavens and the earth. And the earth had become waste and void; and
darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of Elohim moved upon the
face of the waters. And Elohim said,
“Let there be light,” and there was light.
The Creator was incubating the earth,
moving upon the waters. Through a
prolonged spiritual action came a physical reaction we
call creation. From the full gestation
in the supernatural, the natural burst forth. Through Yahweh’s extraterrestrial force,
chaos came to order upon terra firma, ugliness was transformed to beauty and
dead waste became teeming with vitality.
The earth, which was lifeless, was spirited to life.
Now we are “seated in heavenly places” – we
take the power of creation and create.
We have new sensibilities toward spiritual reality that the
superstitious, carnal man hasn’t. Like
any infant, we’re nurtured, educated and directed from above. Though we’re seated with him, we may still
slide off the high chair and resume our former state – stunted and blinded to
the invisible world around us – backslidden – impotent to fulfill our mission –
found and lost again.
But should we choose to go forward in our election
– to become mature in our faith – to remain upon the heavenly chair until it
becomes a throne, then we’ll begin to create order out of chaos, beauty
out of waste, love out of hate and peace from war. We begin to move upon the face of the
waters – incubating our little parcel until it becomes Eden. We see to the changing of circumstances, the
renewing of wasted lives, the healing of infirm creatures. We precisely follow the guidelines for
restoration set down by our Father in heaven.
We redeem the earth.
Spiritual
Sources Of Power
Did you know there’re two nations in the
spiritual realm: “the Kingdom of the Beloved Son” and its opposite, “the
Dominion of Darkness”
(Colossians 1:13)?
Whenever the Bible speaks of darkness and light, it’s referring to these
nations. Those who are “born again”
choose a new career – evangelist – and they live, move and have their
being in the Kingdom of the Beloved Son
(Acts 17:28). Yahshua’s men and women
may by no means plug into the Dominion of Darkness for any reason. Instead, they’re to vanquish it.
Those who haven’t chosen for the Kingdom
are driven about by the evil deceivers who control, abuse, molest, exploit,
kill, steal and destroy. Though
Yahweh’s grace prevents evil entities from “turning a man inside out,” grace
doesn’t prevent a man from choosing his master. You may choose light or dark, life or death. Making no choice at all is a choice
for dark, the devil and death.
The “born again” certainly experience
wonderful joys and victories, but they’re also afflicted, for the devilish will
do whatever they can to destroy any godly, creative work that’s birthed by the
good. However, if they only will,
lovers of good may appropriate the very power of Creation to take their
afflictions and miseries and make of them powerful obstacles to evil. Look again to St. Paul, who, though greatly
afflicted, gained much territory for the Kingdom. He talks about suffering in these words:
2 Corinthians 12:7-10 I’ve received a
thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan. It tortures me, keeping me from
becoming proud. I begged Yahweh three times for it to go away. Yahweh said: “My favor is enough for
you. Power is made perfect in
weakness.” So now I’m happy to brag
about my weaknesses, so that the power of Messiah will rest on me the
more. I take pleasure in weaknesses,
insults, hardships, persecutions and disasters because when I am weak,
that’s when I am really strong.
We say, “What can I do? I’m old, used up, weak, diseased, hurt,
poor, dumb, shy, depressed, tired, retired.”
But he says, “My power is complete in your weakness.” He means that we can become effective
and creative in modifying our slice of reality no matter how feeble we think we
are. For the weaker we are, the
stronger in faith we may be.
You’re a power plant! Take
Yahshua’s yoke upon you and learn from him; then you may conceive, incubate and
give birth to miracles.
The
Subconscious and the Spiritual
People desperately need supernatural
miracles of faith. Unfortunately, fools
try to take control of the supernatural realm by easy but fatal means. What I hear of most is that even children
are consulting psychics to help them remember things, find things, quit things
or learn things. Some think they’ll
contact deceased loved ones or find lost relatives through psychics, mediums or
witches. People use foul music, occult
rituals and the Internet to connect with spiritual darkness.
Most of the cases I hear about are
professing Christians involving themselves in the occult. Rather than pray through and get
the truth, they’ll pay $9 a minute for advice from a devil on the west
coast. Even in church, it’s easy to
find a psychic channeler who’ll “prophesy” the future onto a cassette
tape. I know a man who’s collected a
whole box of “prophecy tapes” for his
future – and no two tapes tell the same tale.
Yet churches consider this to be biblical. People who dabble in the occult have no idea
how dangerous it is. Even a little
stroll into the Dominion of Darkness can be lethal.
Yahweh strictly forbids anyone to engage in
these practices for good reason. Psychic
racketeers are controlled by the unclean spirits. When demons are invited into your life, they never leave. They’ll work you into their network of cold
wickedness. Flattering psychics are
hungry and need you to call on them.
Your invitation through the occult practitioner gives them a contractual
right to feed off your juices like tapeworms – forever. Once in, they multiply like rats. And like rats, they’re hard to get rid of.
I’ve known many who’ve engaged in occult
practices without ever renouncing them.
In time, some’ve been consumed by affliction, mental illness, obsession,
perversion, hatred, crazy behavior, jealousy – and some’ve died. I know one person who simply tried on an
occult ring. This was the beginning
of the voices, the unseen threats, the morbid fears, the suicidal and murderous
thoughts, the hellish nights of terror.
His personhood is still being eaten away from the inside out by vile
spiritual parasites. All from a ring.
Friend, thou shalt not attend
so-called psychics or demon-filled prognosticators. The devil will always exact a price far higher than you’ll
ever be able to pay, for “the wages of sin is death.” You’ll bring down hell on your family and
become a prisoner in your own body.
The Inner
Being
Instead, we’re called on as the born
again to strengthen the power of Yahweh within through holiness, love,
worship, prayer, praise and good deeds – spiritual exercises! No matter your physical condition, you can
be a spiritual Superman. The Bible
calls the spiritual powerhouse within “the inner man.”
Ephesians 3:16-19 (para.) May
Yahweh strengthen you with spiritual power in your inner man so
that Messiah may live in your hearts through faith. And may you have
power to grasp how wide, long, high and deep (how four dimensional) is
Messiah’s love – that you may be filled to the top with it.
But how?
In the last installment, we talked about what kind of faith it
took for Abraham and Sarah to bring forth Isaac, the child of promise. Let’s look at Isaac’s son, Jacob, to see how
he applies his grandfather’s faith. The
story
(Gen 30:25-42)
holds an amazing supernatural truth.
Jacob’s
Polka-dots
Jacob is a man of Yahweh; named for him. Jacob means “Yahweh’s Protection.” He’s served his ruthless father-in-law,
Laban, for years in order to win Rachel, his youngest daughter. Laban consults dark psychics to inform his
business decisions
(Genesis 30:27).
You know the story. Jacob’s finally
had enough, and he’s parting company to fulfill his mission. But Laban owes him thousands in back
pay. If Jacob just up and leaves, Laban
will have him locked up. So Jacob turns
to Yahweh for the plan– and he receives the plan in his “inner man”! It makes no sense, especially to the
scientist, but through Jacob’s weak position and strong faith, the Holy Spirit
will suspend the laws of genetic science to set him free.
“Father-in-law,” says Jacob, “You know how
your herds have prospered under my care.
So let’s make a deal. You take
the polka-dotted animals, and go away.
I’ll take the solid-colored animals. Then I’ll keep any kids born polka-dotted –
they’ll be mine. Now how ‘bout
that?” Laban already proved Jacob’s
gullibility but he can’t believe this deal!
Any farmer knows that solid-colored mated with solid-colored
aren’t going to produce many polka-dotted.
But Yahweh’s plan for Jacob is articulated
in supernatural language – dreams and visions.
And Jacob knows, with Yahweh’s help, all things are possible. As Jacob tends his solid-colored
cattle, he sees polka-dots, dreams polka-dots, thinks polka-dots, wears
polka-dots. He builds a polka-dot
corral so that his solid-colored cattle see polka-dots everywhere and
envision polka-dotted kids. He paints
polka-dots on the animals – he paints himself. He directs his inner man polka-dot-ward. Jacob and Yahweh hook up in the spirit and
move upon then incubate the solid-colored cattle to do something
very scientific and modern – gene therapy. When the solid-colored animals give birth, out poke little
polka-dots. Before long, Jacob owns a
vast multitude of polka-dotted animals, and eventually turns his poverty into
riches.
But Jacob’s vision isn’t to become wealthy
– it’s much greater than that. Through
this wealth, he returns to Abraham’s promised land and establishes it through
his twelve sons, the patriarchs.
Yahweh changes Jacob’s name to Israel, which means, “he’ll rule
with the Elohim.” But that’s not
all. Now, Christians are “Spiritual
Israel,” the polka-dotted descendants of Jacob in the spiritual realm. We’re the children of his vision: you and
me! Now that’s powerful and timelessly
supernatural.
It’s our vision to rule the promised land
with Yahweh’s Son, little-by-little, day-by-day, task-by-task, minute-by-minute
– until we present our world back to him perfected. As Yahweh and Israel changed the color of
the herd, we may change the essence of our reality.
The Small
Scale
Next is an illustration to show you how you
can prove to yourself the reality of the Kingdom of the Beloved Son in
which you claim to live.
(This
case is from the file of Yonggi Cho. I
reworded it.)
A hysterical woman comes into a counseling
session with her pastor. She cries,
“My daughter’s
destroying our home. She’s devilish –
as if she has a vendetta against us.
She looked up my husband’s business associates and, going from nightclub
to nightclub, motel to motel, she’s seduced them all. Everyone knows. She’s the
shame of our whole family. My boys are
dying of embarrassment. I’ve tried
everything I know as a mother. I’ve
even asked the Lord to strike her dead!
But she just laughs at me and calls me every foul name. We did nothing to cause this and don’t
understand it. We don’t know what to
do. Can you help us?”
The pastor knows nothing of this, but calls
her to prayer so he can have a little time to check with the Kingdom of the
Beloved Son. After the “Amen,” the
pastor sheepishly says,
“Sister, maybe I can tell you why your prayers aren’t
answered. You loathe this girl now and
you’re envisioning her in your prayer as a harlot. You’re praying that she’s delivered from her sins, but, at the
same time, you’re unwilling to give up your ugly vision. This is because you’re so angry and hurt
over her. Is this not the case?”
The mother’s quick to answer.
“But the truth is, pastor, she is a prostitute and a vile
person. I didn’t raise her this way,
but I can’t deny the fact of the matter either.”
The pastor knows he’s on the right
track. Mother’s attitude and vision
only makes things worse. That has to
change in her inner man.
“Sister, if you really want her changed, you need a wider
vision. You need to see this daughter
in her potential in Yahshua. You’re His
daughter and the children he gave you are good. He didn’t bless you with her so she could be a prostitute. Clean the canvas of your inner man and start
a new painting of your daughter. Start
seeing her through the cleansing blood of the Lamb instead of through the filth
of this world.”
But mother isn’t yet ready to give up.
“But she’s so dirty, wretched and ugly to me! She’s filthy. I hate what she’s become.”
The pastor
has to convince her to change her vision.
“Stop talking like that!
Stop being so carnal yourself right here and now. Let the Father draw a new vision upon your
inner man. Close your eyes. Look to the top Golgotha. See your Savior bleeding on that
torture stake? Can you see him? He’s showing himself to you right now for
the sake of your daughter. Now the
Father puts your daughter right behind the Savior – can you see her there? He’s giving you a new vision of her right
now. Can you see how she’s polka-dotted
with her Savior’s blood? Of course you
can. Now see your daughter forgiven,
cleansed, born again, filled with the Spirit - completely changed. Look hard.
The Heavenly Father is giving you this vision now.”
Finally, mother can see, but dimly.
“Oh yes, yes – now I can see her differently, through the Savior’s
blood and cross! If I really try hard,
that is. If I really try, I can see her
changed, as she was before.”
This is what the Father and the Pastor want
this mother to do. If she can see it a
little, then as she tries harder, her vision will become clearer so it can be
incubated by faith. Then, when the time
comes, Yahshua the midwife will birth the spiritual vision into reality. In the meantime the pastor admonishes:
“OK, thank you Holy Spirit.
Sister, keep this picture of your daughter in your mind day in and day out. Only see her through His cleansing
blood. Look harder each time until you
can see clearly. Pretty soon, if you
care enough, you’ll start seeing her this way when she comes by. Let’s set the vision in prayer. Dear Holy Spirit, flow into this new vision. Change three-dimensional reality! Perform miracles! Amen.”
Weeks turn into months, but mother works on
her vision. She has setbacks and the
devil tries to steal it. But she stays
in heavenly places, and reconceives her daughter as cleansed in the precious
blood.
Almost a year later, this lady introduced a
glowing young woman to the pastor as her daughter. There’d been a complete turn-about. After mother shared her vision, the daughter
felt compelled to tell the pastor her story:
“I awoke one morning in a motel with a man I hardly knew. For the first time in a year, I felt filthy
dirty and so unhappy. I wanted to go
home – and back to innocence – but I was afraid because of what my family
thought of me. I decided to try just
one time. If they put me out, that
would be the last. I went straight from
the motel, and when I got home, my mother met me with a big smile, a hug and a
kiss, and the words ‘Welcome, my beautiful daughter.’ I was overwhelmed. I
cried so hard that something foul left out of me. I started going to church with mother, and after a few weeks, I
confessed all my sins. By his blood,
Jesus made me free and clean in an instant.
I intend, with the help of the Holy Spirit, to remain so.”
Epilog: this mother found access to the
power of Yahweh in the spiritual realm and her daughter eventually struggled
free of Satan’s snares. She found a
fine husband and had three good children of her own. Now, this is a true story, a case history. But it’s not an isolated or rare story. It happens all the time for those willing to
believe that
“Substantial things seen, through hope, make the unseen plainly visible.”
What About
You
Our intention is to learn of what faith can
do and apply faith, envisioning, incubating and birthing to worldwide
situations in which evil prospers and no good can otherwise penetrate. But we practice first on the small
scale. What needs changing in your
life, in your relationships, in your family, in your community or in your
church? Plenty!
Close
your eyes now and think – think.
Let Yahweh put you that person you envision getting worse into your
mind. Now polka-dot that person
with Jesus’ blood and its cleansing power.
Go to heavenly places and see that person there with you now – cleansed
and whole, saved and healed.
“Dear Holy Spirit, flow into this new
vision. Change three-dimensional
reality! Perform miracles! Amen.”
A Seven Step Act of
Self-Anointing with Healing Prayer
Pray
this prayer:
(1) Yahweh Rapha, lover of my soul, I come to you with a repentant heart
knowing you have forgiven my iniquity and that you desire to heal all my
diseases according to the Scriptures (Ps 103:1-3). This day I have need of your powerful healing touch in a particular
area of my body.
(2)
So I now take up the mantle of authority you have vested in me and in all
believers by virtue of the blessed shed blood of my Savior Jesus Christ.
(3)
By that great power I command any spiritual presence that would seek to
hinder my restoration to flee from me immediately: Go to the feet of Jesus
Christ for him to dispense with you as he will. (pause)
(4)
Now I call upon the creative force of the Logos and the protective force of the
Raphaim (Raf-fa-eem’, or angels of healing): Father Yahweh, save your
servant (say your name) for the sake of Christ and those who love me.
(5)
I now anoint my body (or my surgery or a particular place on my body) with
this blessed oil in the name of Jesus of Nazareth (who used oil to heal all
manner of diseases): This visible oil, which I feel, is representative of the
invisible healing Spirit, which I may not feel but I believe is working in me
even now.
(6)
I lay my hands upon myself in great faith as though Jesus himself were touching
me. I ask you now, Yahweh Rapha, to
channel the healing of your dear Son through these hands, which you have
recreated in your image. (Remain in an
attitude of quiet expectation for a few minutes with hands on body. Open yourself to receive what is yours by
right.)
(7)
(Raise hands above head in surrender.)
Now I thank you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit for bringing total health
and wholeness to me, your servant and friend, and I shall give you the praise
and glory for my healing and recreation now and forevermore. Amen.
