Hello Everyone,
I used to think that the stripes which Jesus bore on His back were for the healing (salvation) of our souls, only. The small church which I grew up in never practicing anointing with oil very often. They only used the oil, occasionally when someone requested it. I had heard people at the church discussing healing, and they didn't seem to have much faith in it at all.
I struggled with this issue for years. I just did not believe that a God who saves our souls didn't have the power to heal us...So, I began on my journey to study all the healing scriptures in the Bible. I spent numerous hours studying, and I prayed earnestly (without ceasing) for an answer. I would kneel down every day, several times a day, some days, and just pray for the Good Lord to let me know, if He still heals our bodies. I was persistent, and didn't give up...I needed to know for myself...I received my answer about 6 months after beginning my praying on this matter...
I was sitting on the edge of my bed, wide awake, and was asking Jesus, once again, if He still heals us...Unexpectedly, within a few seconds, I saw a vision of Jesus. He was standing at a right side-view angle, and I saw those gnashes and deep wounds as plain as day.
They were really deep and long, and began at the upper part of his back and wound themselves downward in what I would call a long spiral (circular) direction towards his right side. There were many of these stripes, and I have never seen anything as horrible as this sight. I have never doubted that Jesus still heals, and my story does not end here...
A couple of years had come and gone, and it was now the year 1999. I never will forget this one, either. I was in my bed, and had not fallen asleep, yet, and I saw another vision. An angel which looked like a bright child with wings flew over my head and said in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, and did this while placing a cross on my forehead...
I didn't get any sleep that night. Being the negative thinker that I was...I was terrified that angel had been sent to me to warn me of my impending death. I could remember watching shows of people who had died, and someone would place the cross on the forehead of the loved one, and say, "In the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit." So, being the obsessor which I was..I thought surely my time had come to leave this world, and I obsessed over this for about a month just waiting for my number to be called...I was so sure that I had received my death sentence...Little did I know the outcome...
About a month later, my husband and I went grocery shopping, and a bottle of olive oil captured my attention. I had never ever bought olive oil, and I had no idea why I felt such a need to buy it, but, I just picked it up, placed it in the cart, and thought nothing else about it...until sometime later...
A lot of the elders in our church were getting ready to go home to be with the Lord. The Lord knew this and He began building up our church that year. A lot of the younger folks were getting saved, and God was working miracles in our little church. It was like every church service was on fire for the Lord...It is sooo hard to describe..
My younger brother, as well as, my older brother had gotten saved. Since, the church had been so out of order, previously, the elders decided to ask my two brothers to become deacons...My younger brother is very strong in the faith, and is now a minister...but, back to the story...
A couple of months passed after I had bought the olive oil. Previously, I had studied scriptures about fasting and anointing with oil...I told my brother of these things, and he began to study the scriptures, and began fasting and suggested one day that we needed some oil. Then it came to me about the olive oil which I had purchased...I told him I had oil at my house and then began our "Spiritual Awakening".....
The church crowd began coming to my home after church. They would all bring a dish, and we would all eat and talk about the things of the Lord, and we always ended by having prayer...
One night...a month or so later, we were at my home and the subject of anointing with oil, once again came up in the conversation. A few of us weren't feeling that well, and a lot of us asked to be anointed with the oil, including me. The pastor of our church was also at my home, and he used the olive oil, which I had bought, and anointed each of us...I will NEVER EVER FORGET THE WAY HE DID THE ANOINTING...He made crosses on our foreheads, and said the words which I had seen in my vision..."In the Name of the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit!"
I will never forget this as long as I live on this earth. My vision came true in the most "unexpected" way. I know now, that the angel had been sent to me to show me of the mighty works of the Lord, and how He was planning on using me in the "extraordinary way"....
Since that day, our church has grown so much in the love and the knowledge of our Lord and Savior. Many lost were saved in the year of 2000, and our service were like I previously mentioned, on fire for the Lord. Anointing with oil and fasting have been a very common practice of our church, since that day....And, I do have to say, that it was such a blessing to see the elders of our church live to see our church grow in this miraculous way. They could not believe how our church was growing daily, and how the Lord was working and doing miracles through His people. There are only few of our elders left now...The rest have gone Home to be with Jesus...
I just felt the need to share all of this with everyone....I love each and every one of you, and May God Bless You is My Prayer!!!!
PS. Our church members are full of the healing faith, now, as well as, the saving faith....May God Receive All The Glory and Honor...Amen!!!
