Healing of what is imprinted
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.

For numerous years, the Israelites were enslaved, taken captive, and colonized by their surrounding superpower nations. Due to this fact, the incorrect habits as captives became rooted within the depths of the Israelite nation. Their incorrect nature obstructed them from sharing the Gospel, and they were unable to see the Gospel correctly. At that time, God called upon His children and raised them up in order to heal the age. I have been called to fulfill the plan of God; what must I do from here?
1. Heal what has been imprinted first
Because of our difficult environment, there are things that have become imprinted in our hearts that we are unaware of. When our thoughts and minds become tarnished, we lose hold of the reasonable lifestyle and become physically ill. Although Joseph grew up without his mother and was hated by his brothers, he embraced his scars as a platform for him to look towards God’s plan. It is because the Word of God and the covenant were imprinted in Joseph’s heart. Only the Word of God can heal what has been imprinted in our hearts, and at that moment problems become channels for us to confirm the power of God.
2. Healing through prayer
When the things that have been imprinted in our hearts become healed through the Word of God, prayer begins to take place. The covenant was relayed to David when he met Samuel, and when David was anointed with oil as king, the Spirit of God came powerfully upon David. From then on, David’s life itself became a prayer, and with the covenant of the temple and the dream of becoming king, he received the strength from God. When we accurately hold onto God’s Word and pray, healing takes place.
3. We need to heal the world
When my personal self is healed through prayer and the Word, the strength to heal the world is gained. Although Moses wandered in the wilderness for 80 years, he realistically experienced the covenant of God upon Mount Horeb and from then on, the works of answers took place. Through Moses who could only speak of his weaknesses before God, the 10 plagues were imposed on Egypt and the Red Sea parted. Regardless of my power and standards, God desires to fulfill His will. You just need to enjoy the strength to heal the world that God has given to you as an answer.
