Jesus's name has authority

It was very tiring through this 7 days training but fruitful. I have come to understand many things that I never know or get to understand why we need healing in our souls and spirits. It helps me to see many broken people that are hurting and in pain to the extent that some have seal up the dark secrets in their unconscious mind. This can not be helped by getting them to read the bible and praying or getting them to go to church. Is not going to work, gross darkness cover them. Of course, we can wait for divine visitation of the Lord like Paul's case but most of the time isn't like this.

Many christians live a life with a mask that cover up the hurts and pains. Trying to be brave in the front. I was just too taken a back that almost everyone has some darkness gripping them.

I saw the power and authority of God over the power of darkness. The generational sins that passed down our generations. Such as occultic practices, sexual sins, curses and idols worshipping which the bible mentioned that passed down from our ancestors continue to be actived even when we are saved. This bring about the struggle in our walk as christian still living in bondage without realising them.

There were many testimonies, so many which is so unbelievable after they were set free. A China lady shared how she lives in fear of seeing her orphanage kids died one after another. She worked as a care giver for 7 years, she was in tears. She also served in the church as leader often in a brave front but there was great fear in her to see friends die. Yesterday as she shared how she was set free, I was deeply moved. She was delivered from the spirit of death and hell.

While the leader in her team did deliverance for her, there was a great struggle within. She felt a snake wriggling in her stomach coming up and logged in her head. When the leader spoke in Jesus name, she felt something left her very fast. The fear of death left her instantly.

Although, I know about deliverance during my teens but never understand what is this all about. I thought this must be for Pastors. Somehow in this course, I being to realise that this is the authority we have in Christ Jesus. Everyone of us have to know how to help someone in need of such deliverance. We are given the authority in Jesus, being children of God. There are many scriptures about deliverance and generational sins that have been brought down by our forefathers. I will code it the next blogging. Is amazing to see people in captive set free.

While Esther Soo was sharing about the work, the Lord brought to my rememberance of Isa 44:1,2. There was a period that I sought God about further studies in counseling but somehow there was no answer to it and this is the verse. I also know my calling but not clear about how to work on broken lives and failed relationships. I just obey by whom ever the Lord brought along my path. During her sharing, my soul was deeply move by the great number of broken lives in this training time. And the Lord said not to be afraid, He will show me how.

This is a type of counseling but much more than just counseling. By the way, I met Yu Ling from Lee's College who used to over see the work during my study there. She even marked my assignment and interview me then. She is the Pastor of Mount Olive. She is one of the leader in Ellel.

I am walking in a journey only plan by God. At the mean time, will wait for further direction from Him. Blessed be the name of the Lord.
