Look within the church!
Acts 2:41~42 Those who accepted his message were baptized, and about three thousand were added to their number that day. They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Numerous people in the church desire to be healed. However, the correct eyes inside problems must be opened first. Although God secures His children who have received salvation through the Holy Spirit, Satan attempts to break down the children of God. At that moment, what decisions must we make? As you live the life of the evangelist and look at the church, there are a few things you must understand first.
1. One who has received salvation
When those who share similar hearts, share similar hobbies, and share similar standards gather together, it is called a club activity, not a church. The gathering of the poor, the rich, the intellectuals, the children, and the adults without any segregation is a church. More importantly, it is a gathering of those who have received salvation through Jesus Christ. Those who have received salvation and know Jesus Christ have nothing to fear. Through the Holy Spirit, problems become platforms, and when the children of God abandon all motives besides the Gospel, God’s works begin.
2. Correct healing through the church
While the Early Church prayed holding on to the covenant, they experienced the working of the Holy Spirit like the wind and the fire on the day of Pentecost. When those who have received salvation hold on to the Gospel and gather together in prayer, the works of God and healing arise. More important, it is holding on to the pulpit message. God blesses those who have received salvation by establishing a speaker to deliver God’s message and allows us to hear His voice. Through small applications while following the pulpit message, the Word becomes mine and healing takes place whenever I listen to the Word.
3. Believers
All believers are precious individuals, whom God has saved. Believers who are in the midst of difficulties and hardships are individuals who will receive all the more greater blessings. The believers are precious people because behind them are great fields of salvation and evangelism. The church is a necessary field for us to live our lives as evangelists.
- Correct healing derives from understanding the Gospel and being filled by the Holy Spirit. Exercise, meditation, and prayer are the greatest methods in healing our physical selves, mentality, and soul. Discover the exercise, meditation, and prayer that befits you the best or that you can do.
