Confirmation from the Spirit

A few weeks ago, I wrote something about a book on healing...

And naturally, some doubts crept into my mind.. was I too hasty in trusting that all we had to do was rely on the goodness of God? Maybe we need to ask ourselves what is the sin that caused this illness, confess it to God because it is good to confess our sins... and if we don't think for ourselves which sins led to this 'effect'... then we may still dwell in the sin and we cannot be completely healed?

So Satan was very subtle... i didnt feel worried or anxious. It just came little by little, wave by wave... and I didn't even have time to think or pray about it.

And then when I went to church this Sunday, Pastor Prince (though he was on the topic of Favor of God), I really believe he was led by the Spirit, clarified on this exact subject!

His point was that Jesus' sacrifice on the cross means that we are continually being washed by His blood. God continually sees us as perfect and righteous. If that is the case, there is no need for us to confess our sins in order to be healed.

Confessions of sins is good.
But confessions of sins is not a prerequisite to healing and wholeness.

Jesus is our prerequisite for healing, wholeness and prosperity.

He is our qualifier.

And amazingly, Pastor Prince used the same analogy in my previous blog!!! He said: Jesus didnt ask the leper - what are your sins that made you a leper?

Whenever Jesus healed anyone in the bible - He never asked them what was the cause of the disease. He only said He is willing.

And that's all that matters.
