The fundamental healing that changes me
Galatians 2:20 I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now life in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me.
Hymn for scheduled worship: Korean/English Hymnal #252 What Can Wash Away My Sin (#184 in previous version)
The Bible states that all people are within curses. Curses are sufferings that have started from the state of being separated from God, and signify wandering during one’s lifetime, only to face death. The spiritual state of curses has nothing to do with physical success or failure. The spiritual state of being separated from God is deeply inscribed upon the person who does not know God. Addressing the things that have become inscribed in us without us being aware of it is what fundamental healing entails.
1. The start of fundamental healing
Not even the most renowned person in this world can solve the problems of sin, curses, and disasters. People who are separated from God know nothing about Satan’s power and hell, and for this reason, they face failure. This is precisely why God has sent us the Christ. Finding this answer and believing that Christ came for me is the start to fundamental healing. Paul realized about Christ and then made the following confession, “I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me.”
2. The grace of the Gospel
All people have become separated from God and cannot overcome curses and disasters. However, for the children of God who have been saved in the Gospel, all things are possible by grace. This is the gift of God that He has given by His grace to those who believe in Christ. We cannot know Christ by the academia and knowledge of this world, or even with money. However, it has been freely given to those who believe. Christ completed everything upon the cross, and He gave the Holy Spirit to us as a gift. That is why, when we as children of God enjoy the Gospel and receive the guidance of the Holy Spirit, nothing is impossible for us.
3. A separate strength that God has given
If you want a different strength from the people of the world, you must pray on a regular basis and succeed in prayer. The strength of scheduled prayer leads you to heal the things that are unconsciously inscribed upon you, and even restores your spiritual state. Also, through the continuous prayer within the Holy Spirit, you can discern all things correctly and also prepare in faith for the things that are to come. If you can hold on to prayer even as you face problems, you will come to know the answers that God has given. If you enjoy this blessing of prayer every day, you will stand upon the spiritual summit, and you will be able to challenge towards new answers.
- Changing my nature into a nature of prayer is fundamental healing. Have the scheduled prayer time of restoring and enjoying grace within the Gospel.
