Glad Tidings

9.1.2024 On Sunday evening, July 7, 1991, Trina left a church service with a severe headache. A few minutes later, she suffered a seizure. Once at the hospital she had, many tests and an MRI was done. But before her eyes opened, God’s Word, which is what she meditated on for years, sprang up like a living fountain, and rose up like a shield in her heart and mind. “Himself took our infirmities; by whose stripes we were healed.” The shield of faith quenched the words of the doctor who said, “It looks like you have an inoperable brain tumor.” I spoke to that tumor, according to Mark 11:23, to be removed. I then posted a sign outside the hospital room door which said, “No Wavering Allowed!” From that moment, our focus was on the Word of God. Years before, Trina was healed from asthma as she meditated on healing scriptures, taking them regularly like medicine. She followed Proverbs 4:20-22, which gives four steps to God’s prescription: 1) Attend to my words; 2) Incline thine ear unto my sayings. 3) Let them not depart from thine eyes; 4) Keep them in the midst of thine heart. It goes on to say “For they are life unto those that find them, and health (medicine) to all their flesh.” Here are two examples of what happened when multitudes in Jesus’ ministry came to hear him and to be healed: “But so much the more went there a fame abroad of him: and great multitudes came together to hear, and to be healed by him of their infirmities,” Luke 5:15. “…great multitude of people…which came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases,” Luke 6:17-19. The Greek word for the phrase, “to be healed” is therapeuo, which means “to relieve of disease, to cure, heal and worship.” The little word “of” denotes separation, departure, cessation, completion, and reversal. As the multitudes came day after day to hear Jesus’ teaching, they were receiving divine therapy. Their diseases and pain ended and completely reversed as they heard Jesus, the Living Word, speak. His Words were life and health to their souls and bodies. Psalm 107:20, “He sent his word, and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions.” The fight of faith is a fight to focus on the Word of God. A good example of that kind of focusing is Numbers 21:1-9. As Moses led the Jews in the wilderness, they complained about the menu of manna and how hard their lives were. Poisonous snakes started biting them until they cried to Moses for help. God told Moses to make a brass serpent and put it on a pole. When the people would look at it, they’d live and not die. Can you imagine the effort it took to look away from the snakes and keep focused on the image? It was not a passing glance, but the AMPC describes how to look at this image: attentively, expectantly, with a steady and absorbing gaze. The serpent was a type of Jesus, who, on the cross, became a curse for us. (Gal.3:13) The curse includes every sickness, disease, or injury. This covers ...
