For an angel went down at a certain time into the pool and stirred up the water; then whoever stepped in first, after the stirring of the water, was made well of whatever disease he had.  John5.4

The question of the angel’s descent, real or otherwise, in no way influences the doctrine of the Gospel, for it gives the people the revelation of the Word that will produce faith in their hearts. When we teach people about their rights to be healed, delivered, and saved, we put them in the right spot to receive the blessing. Now Jesus did this by saying that the individual was set free by knowing the Truth (John 8:32). The Good News is the best way!

I have been used by God in every country where I proclaim salvation and have seen divine power working for the afflicted in every kind of wonder and sign recorded in the Word. It is beautiful to be an instrument of the Lord and see someone in tears as he tells how he was blessed. Everyone needs to hear the Good News to gain the faith that can produce the wonders of the Most High. After all, He likes to heal, set free and save everyone and undoubtedly does it!

I know that my ministry must be like the shaking of the waters, that the power of God may be effective in the life of the people. By teaching the Word with the strength of the Lord, people’s faith grows, and then He works for them. The Gospel is the power of the Most High to those who believe in and receive Christ. Moreover, when faith is used, the sick are healed and delivered from their scourges. In biblical preaching, there is plenty of power!

In the Gospel, there is no competition, where first come brings the blessing. In it there is everything that sufferers need but have to believe. Now this principle taught by the Master must be strictly followed. If a person is prepared, he will assume his position beside the Lord, because the only condition imposed by him is to believe to see the glory of God. What He said is the truth, so it should never be changed. In Christ, everyone gets the victory!

The assurance that we can bless anyone we are ministering to as long as he believes is in Paul’s first letter to Corinthians 5:21, which states: To him who knew no sin, he made him sin for us; that we might become the righteousness of God in him. Now what kind of justice are we if we cannot execute it for the benefit of those who are not well and seek us? But often we let shyness take hold of our faith, which becomes unproductive. But if we confess this, we will be forgiven.

Proclaiming the Word with the certainty that we will be answered is like shaking the waters, so that people may be cast into the Father’s presence in faith and be delivered. Likewise, we should do with us if we face any harm. Jesus said that if we believe we will see the glory of God (John 11:40). Then stand up in His Name, give your order to the problem that dominates you, order it to come out, and then consider yourself healed.

An angel descends, and you rise before the Lord to take possession of his own. His statement in the Name of the Lord is the same as He did before the sick. Command evil, “Get out now.” Do it now so that the Father may be glorified!

In Christ, with love,
