Shalom!
There are certain activities I became involved with early in my Christian life which really prepared me for ministry even though I didn't realize that I am in ministry. I just thought I was serving Jesus.
Like I said in my earlier post, I learnt through reading and studying how to minister the Holy Spirit baptism, I also took the time to learn how to minister healing to sick people.
Mark 16: 14-18
14 ¶ Afterward he appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat, and upbraided them with their unbelief and hardness of heart, because they believed not them which had seen him after he was risen.
15 And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
16 He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned.
17 And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues;
18 They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
You need to know that you can learn these things. There are people that have revelation knowledge on how to do some things and also have practical experiences along the same lines who have written books you can learn from. It's not all about having a particular grace. There are certain things every believer in Christ ought to know how to do.
I was very eager to use my new found knowledge about praying for the sick.
At the weekly workers preparatory meetings, any worker could volunteer to handle any of the sessions of the All-Night ministration. I volunteered for the Healing Session, taught the people about God's provision of healing for them and many of them got healed by the laying on of hands and prayer!
Acts 3: 1-11
1 ¶ Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2 And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3 Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4 And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5 And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6 Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7 And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8 And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9 And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10 And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11 And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
Jesus gave the commission to all His people to preach the Gospel to every creature on earth, and the signs will follow every believer. If you are a believer, you can do everything He said.
One night, during the All Night meeting at the Faith Clinic, I took the Healing Session preaching on 'Casting Your Cares Upon the Lord' which is based on 1 Peter 5: 7. As I lead the people in prayer, my interpreter's eyes got opened into the spirit realm, and she saw an Angel of God rushed in with a basket into the auditorium collecting all the cares of the people who believed, and many people got healed that night!
1 Peter 5: 7
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Please, think upon this verse of scripture. God cares for you and about you with all of your concerns. Till next time, God bless.
