MY DIRECT COMMISSION FROM THE LORD
The word of
the Lord came to me in a dream ‘Take my healing virtue to the outskirts
of the body of Christ. The hem of His garment.”
In another dream He said, “The cries of my people have come up before me and I have come down to heal them.”
After
having tried to birth the healing ministry since I was three years old,
I can honestly say it was not until fifty-three years later in Africa
that it began coming to pass.
The first miracle service that I
conducted in Africa felt like a complete failure that contained no
miracle whatsoever. I went away feeling like a fraud and an impostor
presenting false hopes. Later that night the Lord spoke to me and said,
“There is no such thing as a false hope in me. You cannot overstate me.”
That
was the turning point in my life that I needed in order to fully bring
God’s healing virtue to the people. Nothing can stop me now. I have a
green light from the Lord to give it my all. It makes no difference if I
am liked or not, or how I look and act, or whether I have large crowds
at my meetings.
I cannot articulate it theologically because I
have no doctrine on the subject. I have no answer as to why God does not
always heal. I just know that He heals. God has led me to heal the sick
without any formula, technique, or method.
The last miracle
service that I had in Africa after learning to give it my all, the Lord
Jesus healed a blind eye. I watched it happen. The more I aggressively
attacked the blindness and pressed into the healing the more dramatic
the healing became. A little boy that was once blind in his right eye
could now see.
At another meeting in the Caribbean a woman’s
vision became brighter during the miracle service and then she requested
healing for her whole body and said it was full of cancer. The needs
are so many. I found that many times my prayer for the sick becomes more
of a word of prophecy than a prayer. God said take my healing virtue, I
prophetically declare it.
My wife Melodi was there with me on
the small island of St. Martin where we ministered in several churches
with the gifts of healing. Everywhere I go there is revival, and
everywhere I go I prosper. That is what God promised me, and that is
what I am experiencing. God has put His gifts of healing in me and said
Go! I never need to worry about questions concerning healing. Without
question, Jesus is the healer. He is the vine and we are the branches.
The branch cannot bare fruit of itself.
