Continued from Say to the mountain part 1
This is what Holy Spirit taught me to do:
1. Pray for grace to keep my eyes on Jesus so the wind and waves won’t overwhelm me. We need God to help us keep our faith.
2. Declare God’s promises out loud daily as Romans 10:17 says that “faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God”. Verbal repetition of the Word of God reinforces His promises in and over our lives.
3. Praise and worship. In every aspect of daily life, I’d sing- out loud, under my breath or in my heart. Anything that gave glory to God from Haleluyah (12 times ) to Leave it in the Hands of the Lord and everything in between.
4. Make conscious and constant efforts to surrender healing to God- how, to what degree and in what manner and when healing was to happen to me. This was hard- I had lots of suggestions to make to God on all those points🤣🤣
Being in a Pentecostal church for nearly 17 years I have learnt to praise and worship to a whole new level and it is second nature now to me.
5. Finally pray in tongues. Romans 8:26 says in essence that the Holy Spirit helps us to pray when we don’t know what to pray. Book of Jude 1:20says we are to build ourselves up in our faith (by) praying in the Holy Ghost
Personally I found strength, joy, strengthened faith and peace when praying in tongues. When I learnt about the diagnosis I thought I would be walking in the valley of the shadow of death. I learnt that “death” was not the enemy. “Intimidation” was the main enemy. Intimidation tried to force me to worry and worry is unbelief, the opposite of faith. Many times i found myself like the father of the demon possessed boy saying “I DO believe. Help my unbelief”(Mark 9:23-24)
Do I believe God is able to heal me? Yes.
Does the devil try to shake that? All the time.
Can I beat the devil? Absolutely! I declare that I put on the full armour of God (Ephesians 6:11) against the devil’s weapon which is “wiles” or deceit/tricks. I had to constantly remind myself of the truth in His Word.
