A few weeks ago Linda and I watched a youtube program with an interview by Beatty Carmichael, a layman, who has written a book that describes a methodology for healing that he has experienced and has been 90% effective, after he explained it to people and they prayed through the methodology he describes. The book is The Prayer of Freedom.
Linda and I have appropriated its spiritual process to our own lives. I have been in discomfort due to arthritis in both shoulders requiring two sets of injections in my back under the shoulder blades. I have also been impacted in my right hand. I have needed Linda's assistance to help put on my shirt or a jacket. The right shoulder and hand are totally better! The left shoulder still hurts modestly. I am much better!
At 83 I have read hundreds, if not thousands of books and articles on healing, listened to countless sermons, and viewed many Youtube videos. I share with you my overview after all this "learning." This is my story and I am "stickin" with it.
BIG PICTURE: Lucifer led a revolt in Heaven due to jealousy about Jesus being God's Son, eventually to be released on earth to heal the ills of humanity. Lucifer became the modern day Satan, who revolted with one third of the angels who accompanied him. They began to be Satan's warrior spirits/demonic powers to work over us mere humans, when we err from operating in the manner of living in the image of God in our lives, (ie living without sinning in thought, word and deed).
Our Lord established a unique spiritual legal system that would be an applicable system of law for humans. One escapes spiritual jail, if we adhere to the following: "You know that your prayers are answered, if you obey His Commandments and do the things that are pleasing in His sight." About forty years ago I was at a summer conference and latched onto this scripture with alarm. I knew the Ten Commandments were fairly clear, but immediately I was alarmed by the part about "pleasing in His sight." This requirement demands constant reflection and self-discipline.
I have worked through this, identified and acknowledged my sins of thought, word and deed, and asked forgiveness and repented in the Name of Jesus. If we sin, and do not ask forgiveness in the Name of Jesus and repent, we become subject to disciplining by God, not punishment. Satan becomes the executioner of the disciplne and guess who has us on the platform with the guillotine ready to drop? Satan's demonic spirits become the disciplinarians and have authority to work us over with the torments of illness, enotional trauma, addictions and all the evil and painful physical and emotional ailments we suffer.
But, if we pause, reflect on our lives, recall our sins (perhaps ask God to help us with memories of those we had hoped were way in the past), we can one by one confess them, repent and ask forgiveness in the Name of Jesus. When we accomplish that exercise, the demonic spirits must, DUE TO THE SPIRITUAL LAWS SET UP, leave. This then rolls over to the spiritual warfare technique of deliverance for us to order the spirits by name to leave. If you banish them from their assignment to harm and influence you, I believe they may hover around, ready to jump back in. Therefore stay repented! Habitual sin may shut off the pathway to forgiveness. The author of my source book indicated we also may be able to address sins of our family members, but I have no experience with this suggestion. TAKE ACTION, THE CHOICE IS YOURS, TRY IT AND YOU MAY ACHIEVE FREEDOM FROM THE TORMENTS!
