Sir,

How many times have relatives said their case was beyond the jurisdicti­on of doctors; how many times have we lost those whom we love because of different viruses? How many times have people you know told you that witch doctors have also tried and failed? Then one has questions lingering in their thoughts, should we suffer from HIV or were we created to suffer from AIDS? Should TB and cancer consume our mortal bodies without any natural or supernatur­al help? Should sugar diabetes destroy our bodies because it found conducive environmen­ts in our bodies? Are we even supposed to suffer from psychologi­cal disorders due to our present day frequent worries?

I think the question here should be, where exactly is the Lord in all of this, what is the Lord saying when sickness is eating away at our flesh? When are we supposed to call upon Him to heal our land; how exactly should we be praying to God? Are we supposed to pray for a group or for an individual? Maybe God does not hear us, maybe our prayers are not reaching Him; are we really praying the right prayers? Why is God not even giving us a sign to show that He hears our prayers?

Has the Lord changed His mind on what He spoke to us when He said ‘by my stripes you shall be healed’, or when He said; “I give you authority and dominion over the walking things of the land, flying things of the sky and swimming things of the sea.” At times I think maybe it’s a replay in my mind, but I really remember the Lord saying ‘you shall drink poison, it shall not harm you and you shall tremble over the snake and scorpion and they shall not harm you’.

Just the previous day, the Lord extended His right hand over my hand and reassured me of total healing. As I conclude, be assured that surely your faith will make you well and remember that He created the one who created the weapon of mass destructio­n, thus no weapon formed against you shall prosper.
