For a couple of days about four months ago, the LORD kept stirring 1Timothy 6:20 in my heart. That Scriptural passage was forcefully stirred in my mind and spirit and it continued for a number of days…
I later sensed that the Lord was just trying to ‘re-enforce’ into my spiritman what He told me earlier on in a poignant “Prophetic Whisper” that; “more than we have ever realized or imagined, the Church is in Her days/age of divine supernatural.”
The Lord will in our days be invalidating the verdicts/reports of science (doctors) concerning many cases/situations His people have found themselves in. I sensed that’s the message the Lord was trying to ‘implant’ in my spirit through 1Timothy 6:20.
1Timothy 6:20 (KJV) reads: “…Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called”.
Science has always questioned God’s conclusions, falsely assuming that their researches and conclusions are more potent than God’s submissions in His Word.
While science postulates that a woman without a functional fallopian tube should forget about child birth, God on the other hand, declares that; it is more than possible for a woman to procreate even without a fallopian tube. God declares that ‘with Him ALL things are possible’. That, HE is Jehovah Elohim – the God that can create something out of nothing. Science on the otherhand, believes otherwise.
So, you can see that science’s postulations and God’s affirmations are on a collision course. Science totally disagrees with God’s verdicts and God totally ‘disagrees’ with science’s verdicts and conclusions. That was why the Bible described the ranting of scientists and medical ‘experts’ as “the oppositions of science falsely so called” (1Timothy 6:20).
Miracles still happen. God has not changed. “He is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever. (Hebrews 13:8).
What He did in Bible days, He is still doing in our days in an even greater dimension!
Unfortunately, we live in an age when scientific laws and verdicts has gained so much ground so much that many exalts the words of science and medical ‘experts’ above the Word of God. Some people are even of the opinion that miracles are not for our days – that we’ve gone past the age of miracles. That’s a lie from the pit of hell.
Others have even gone a step “further” in this malady of a belief by concluding that there is no God at all! How foolish!
So many people are tied down in bondages, limitations, diseases and sicknesses because science (doctors) gave them scientific reports that: – they can’t give birth, that they have just a few years, months, weeks or even days to live. For some others, the so called reports of science is that their sicknesses/diseases (ailments) can never be cure, while some have been told that it will be impossible for them to ever conceived due to some abnormalities with their reproductive organs. Others have been told that they have cancer and probably won’t live long. God’s report says “ALL things are possible [to them] that believe” (mark 9:23).
“If you can believe you will see the glory of the Lord” (John 11:40)
While I’m not in anyway downplaying the validity of some genuine scientific discoveries, theories and the advancements our age has witnessed in the fields of medicine, space and agriculture, I make bold to say that; most of science’s conclusions and submissions especially in the medical field are one-sided, half-baked, and do not represent the TRUTH even though they might sometimes represent the FACT.
Science has failed to recognize the fact that there is a HE (God) who has the final say in the affairs of men. HE is the Supreme Arbiter!
While it might be medically proven that a man that has low sperm count or that a lady that has a malfunctioned fallopian tube or even lack one can not be able to procreate (have children), it is very much possible for them to procreate by the intervention of the Lord God Almighty. But science will not want to agree with that.
So, the Holy Spirit speaking through Apostle Paul in 1Timothy 6:20 charged Timothy and by extension, all believers to; “avoid profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called”.
Why did Apostle Paul described the oppositions of science as false? – The answer is not far fetched: there is no truth in most of their conclusions.
For example, to conclude that a person suffering from an advance stage of cancer will not live to see the next 50 years will be complete falsehood! We serve a God that is more than ABLE to heal and give life to that which is half-dead or even completely dead. Science will however never agree with that truth. Science exalts FACT above the TRUTH – which is a complete error in judgment. TRUTH supercedes FACT!
Science believes once a case has been “thoroughly” examined and scientifically (medically) proven to be ‘out of remedy’ –no way out. What a lie!
Infact, I heard Apostle Tim Gbasha said recently during a message in my home Church that; doctors have a way of giving cases they can’t handle some complicated, intimidating and ‘faith-destroying’ names. I couldn’t agree more.
So, the next time doctors say you are suffering from “Eosinophilic enteropathy” or any other funny name(s) they might mention to your ear, just ignore them and lookup to God’s unfailing WORD! There, you will locate the ‘Rapha Word’ that would turn around your situation.
Sadly, even in the Church, there are those who believes that miracles are not for our day. I beg to differ – I completely disagree with that heretic belief!
Those folks who are saying that miracles are no longer for our days and yet claim to be in the faith are no ‘complete’ Believers at all.
Just as Apostle Ray Taylor of North Carolina USA, said recently during a sermon in my home Church; “if you are NOT going to believe in the manifestation of miracles don’t [ever] believe God, because God is a God of miracles.”
Those who think that miracles and signs are only for the first century Church have it all wrong! God is still in the business of manifesting ‘mind-blowing’ miracles in the midst of His people. Believe it or not!
The God that parted the Red Sea (Exodus 14:21–22), healed Naaman of leprosy (2Kings 5:1 -14), caused Sarah to conceive and give birth to a child at the age of 90 years (Genesis 21:1-2), and also brought Lazarus back to life after Lazarus had spent 4 days in the grave (John 11:43)… is still alive, walking and working in our midst doing what He did in the ages long gone by. He is the unchanging Changer in a changing world.
The Bible says “Jesus is the same yesterday, and today, and for ever.
(Hebrews 13:8).
“For I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.”(Malachi 3:6 KJV)
Therefore, you can choose to ignore the opposing medical report(s) doctors might have given you or will ever give you.
Pastor Patrick Enilama once wrote: “when you appropriately access the Word of God in accordance with the problem at hand, it coverts to the power of God. The power of God bows to no other force. Rather, every knee bows to the power of God. This is why the Believer must not be ashamed of the Word of God ‘for it is the power of God unto salvation [deliverance/healing] to everyone that believes! [Romans 1:16].
Therefore, you can afford to ignore the medical verdict which is contrary to the Word of God in your situation. You can afford to ignore the scheming and verdicts of soothsayers about your situation. The Bible says you should ignore or ‘avoid profane words and the oppositions of science falsely so called’ [1 Timothy 6:20].”
Writing further Pastor Enilama commented; “the fallopian tube may be dead, the ovary may not be there, medical tests may have proved that you will not be able to give birth. The Bible says you should ignore ‘science falsely so called’. Abraham believed God against all hopes when it ceased to be with Sarah the manner of women to bear a child. Abraham deplored faith in absolute terms and he gave birth to Isaac. That is why he is the father of faith… What is your problem? Have faith in God and you will come out of your present tight situation, smiling and offering thanksgiving to God. Faith silences the opposition. It clears off your giants so you can access your promise land.”
I don’t know what kind of report/verdict science (doctors) might have given you or will soon be giving you concerning your case, but, I want to challenge you with this faith-filled question: “Whose report will you believe? – God’s report or doctor’s report?
Medical science said it can’t be done, ‘God Science’ says it is more than possible! Whose report will you believe?
Music minister, Ron Kenoly once sang: “whose report will you believe?... We will believe the report of the Lord!”
Science (doctors) may falsely tell you: “it can’t be done, it is impossible, it has never been done and can never be done”, but, God is saying “with Me ALL things (not some things) are possible.
God said, and He is still saying “I AM the God of all flesh, is there anything too difficult for me to do?” (Jeremiah 32:27)
The Bible declares; “who hath believed our [God’s] report and to whom is the Arm of the Lord been revealed? [Isaiah 53:1]. Meaning that; if you want the Arm of the Lord to be revealed in your situation, you must consciously believe His report, and not the opposing report(s) of science (doctors).
Has medical ‘experts’ pronounced your case hopeless and ‘out of remedy’? – The Arm of the Lord can be revealed in that situation bringing about a turn around and complete healing/deliverance from death – but you must choose to believe the higher report of the Higher One [God].
His report says: you shall not die but live [Psalm 118:17]…that with long life will God satisfies you and show you His salvation [Psalm 91:16]…that by the stripes of Jesus you are healed [Isaiah 53:5]… that you shall not be barren [Deuteronomy 7:14]…that with Him ALL things – yes, ALL THINGS are possible!!! [Matthew 19:26].
Why not believe His report and see His Arm at work in your case? Against all hope Abraham believed God, and his wife, Sarah at the age of 90 years gave birth to a son, thus making nonsense the conclusions/verdict of science that a woman that has gone past menopause should kiss the idea of having a child ‘good-bye’. Sarah has gone past menopause twice (broken menopause twice) and yet, she was able to bear a child, because she and her husband (Abraham) chose to believe God’s report and not doctor’s or scientific report. You can do the same today, and you will see the Arm of the Lord revealed concerning your case.
Think not on doctor’s report, think on God’s report: “He sent His Word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107:20)
“Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of GOOD REPORT; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, THINK on these things.” (Philippians 4:8).
….and only God’s report is GOOD report!
Don’t even allow what your 5 senses are telling you make you doubt the ability of GOD to cause a change in your situation(s).
In practicing faith, you have to sometimes disagree with your 5 senses and look up to the Word of God. If you want to live by your five (5) senses, you cannot operate in faith. Therefore, ignore your 5 senses and exercise your faith in God and His unfailing WORD.
Believe the Word! Believe the promises of the Eternal One. What His mouth has promised, His Hand always fulfils…
God’s promises are unchanging and trustworthy because HE is unchanging and trustworthy--- God embodies all truth, therefore He cannot lie. Because God is Truth, you can be secure in His promises; you don’t need to wonder if He will change His mind. As Christians, our hope is secure and immovable, anchored in God, just as a ship holds firmly to the seabed. PRAISE GOD HALLELUJAH!!!!!!
So, stand believing! Stand on the Rock – The Rock Jesus!
The Bible says; “NOW faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen – for by it the ancients (elders in the Bible) obtain a GOOD report [Hebrews 11: 1–2].
Faith in the WORD of God (and NOT in doctor’s report) will always produce a GOOD report in place of the BAD report of the doctors. The Bible says, “By it the ancients obtain a good report (not a bad report)”...
Let faith arise in you this day, and as it arises in you, I charge you to place a demand on Heaven for your own good report in your area of need. Already, the price has been fully paid for by Jesus’ death and subsequent resurrection.
Isaiah 53:5 says: “He [Jesus] was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes [wounds] WE ARE HEALED.”
You see, your faith is the “jaw-breaker” here. God is surely voting in favor of your healing and deliverance, the devil is voting against you – so, which side you cast your vote for is VERY crucial – your vote determines which side will ‘carry’ the day.
With science, some things are impossible, ‘unfixable’ and unthinkable – but with God, ALL things are possible!!! What a mighty God we serve!
There is hope for a tree even if it is cut down, it will rise again at the scent of water (Job 14:7 NIV).
What water is to a hopeless tree is what the WORD of God is to a hopeless situation. Let your faith touch God’s Word and you shall see a miraculous and unbelievable restoration and deliverance.
Let faith arise in you; begin to call those things that be not as though they are. Begin to confess the Word of God relevant to your situation and the Word shall rain solution on that seemingly hopeless situation.
The power of God is embed in His Word.
“He sent forth His Word and healed them and saved them from their destructions.” (Psalm 107:20).
Begin to feed on the Word of God…hear His Word, and faith shall arise in you to quench all the fiery darts of cancer, bareness and all forms of sickness and diseases. (See Ephesians 6:16).
For faith to arise within you, you must feed on the Word of God – “…faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.”(Romans 10:17).
As faith arises in you, begin to call and act those things that be not as though they are, and as you constantly do that, in no time, the Divine Supernatural will prove wrong the report/verdicts of ‘science-natural’. Amen, Hallelujah!
All science does is to babble and that is why the Bible admonishes us to ““avoid PROFANE and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called”. Profane? Yes profane! Because, it is profanity for anyone not to take cognizance of the fact that there is a God who can do ALL things (not just some things) – it is only a foolish and profane man that gives no room for God in his or her conclusions, judgments or verdicts ( see Psalm 14:1).
All science does is to issue a verdict and as far as they are concerned, their verdict is FINAL without acknowledging the fact that there is a higher power who can do the impossible – who upholds ALL things by the Word of His power (Hebrews 1:3).
1 Timothy 6:20 also admonishes us to avoid vain babblings. What does it mean to babble? To babble is to foolishly repeat something, and that’s what science does. They will keep telling you: “it can’t be done cos’ it has never been done in medical field, it can’t happen because our research and findings have concluded on this kind of case long ago”.
Beloved, ignore those vain (impotent) babblings – Believe the report of the Lord and you shall see His Arm revealed in what those “vain babblers” has said can’t be remedy.
“Avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called” (1Timothy 6:20)
The woman with the issue of blood, after spending all she had on doctors without getting any better finally chose---deliberately---to ignore the opposing reports of the doctors concerning her case. She decided to stretch her faith towards Jesus by touching the hem of Jesus’ garment and she was healed and made whole as a result (Read Luke 8:43 -44 KJV, Matthew 9:20 -21).
You too can also choose to ignore the opposing reports of science and stretch your faith towards Jesus and HE will heal you as He did that woman with the issue of blood. What He did for one, He can do for ALL – so long you have faith in Him and not in the negative reports/pictures the world will flash before you.
The Bible says; “to them that [have faith] in His Name shall the Sun of righteousness [Jesus] arise with healing in His wings…..”(Malachi 4:2).
Don’t allow the negative features/information you see and hear on TV or have been given by your doctor(s) to feed your doubt and ‘pamper’ your condition.
As you stretch your faith towards Heaven, I want you to take heed (screen) what you see and listen to.
Ours is a generation that suffers from information overload with a good chunk of it in junk category. Take heed then, what you hear. O yes, I repeat; take heed what you hear! I am re-emphasizing this fact because; it is so easy to be brainwashed by the world’s views and religious dogmas that we miss the will of God when it comes to this matter of divine healing and the miraculous. Take heed what you hear… confess the right things base on the Good report of God’s word.
So many people have and some are still professing (confessing and accepting) the opposing verdicts of ‘science falsely so called’ and have hence, erred (missed) their miracles, healing, deliverance and divine visitation…
Just hear what the Spirit said in 1Timothy 6:20 - 21 “…Keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called: Which some professing have erred concerning the faith.
Whose report will you believe? I admonish you to believe the report of the Lord!
Whose report are you gonna believe? I charge you this day to dare to believe the Lord’s report –which says you will live and not die in that condition and predicament. His report says you are healed, and His Word stands true forever…
Choose ye this day to profess the report of the LORD and shame the opposing verdict(s) of science falsely so called.
Never accept what the devil is telling you. Don’t accept the fake picture he is expecting you accept as real – ignore his negative ‘antics’ (reports) and pictures and instead, choose to believe the Word of God which says “by the stripes of Jesus you are healed” (Isaiah 53:5).
As a son of God and a daughter of God, you can by faith prophesy your way out of any unpleasant situation the Enemy has cornered you or any of your loved ones in.
The Bible says in the Book of Joel 2:28 that “It shall come to pass in the LAST DAYS that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh; your sons and daughters shall PROPHESY…”
These are the last days!!!! So, if you find yourself in any predicament, you can prophesy your way out of it – you can prophesy (confess) your way out of that kidney complication, out of that bareness…out of that liver disorder…out of that leprosy…out of that so-called ‘impossible’ situation. You can produce health in your body by calling forth health right out of the midst of sickness.
Who told you God is incapable of supernaturally replacing any of your malfunctioned kidneys, liver or any other body organ(s) for that matter? If He made you, then He has your spare parts!
He is the God that quickens the dead [Romans 4:17] and He is more than able to quicken every dead and malfunctioned organ in your body…
And just incase you know of anyone whose case has been “written off” by doctors or who have been ‘tied down’ and incapacitated by any form of sickness or disease, I charge you this day go in faith and lay hands on such person(s). Command the sickness and the disease ravaging their bodies to leave – order the devil to lay his hands off them! –Command healing and restoration. As you do that, you will see Jehovah Rapha manifest His power on those you’ve lay hands on---He will heal them and set them free from the oppression of the devil. C’mon, go lay those anointed hands of yours on the sick and see them recover.
Are you childless? Lay those hands of yours on your belly and command it to be fruitful in Jesus’ Name! Jesus has given us the power and the authority to do that. He told us in Mark 16:17-18 thus: “And these signs shall follow them that believe; in My name shall they cast out devils…they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.”
So, go lay hands on the sick and see them recover by power of Holy Ghost. What a mighty God we serve!
Forget the medical FACTS before you and believe the TRUTH of God’s Word. God is not interested in a head full of facts; rather, He is interested in a heart full of faith.
We serve The Living God that specializes in things that are certified impossible making them possible by the WORD of His power – O yes; with God ALL things are possible!! Allow this powerful revelation truth to impact your life as from today.
Without controversy, great is the mystery of the Divine Supernatural Order: with Jehovah God, ALL things are possible!
He is still proving wrong the conclusions of medical ‘experts’!!
No wonder, the WORD says that “the wisdom of this age [science] has come to nought” [1 Corinthians 2:6].
I know for sure, that some “religious”, ‘sensitized’ and rationalistic readers will kick against my stance in this article. But like Pontius Pilate told the Jews in John 19:21-22 after Jesus was crucified; “what I have written, I have written”. God is still in the business of working miracles in our age. Any attempt by anybody to disagree with, and contest the validity of God’s Word is to rage and imagine vain thing amounting to profanity. I rest my case.
I sense an anointing to invoke the Divine Supernatural (GOD) into your situation and case. So, I urge you to place a demand on the faith deposit in you – fan the flame of faith within you right now:
I declare by the mercies of God that you shall not die! That which science and medical doctors has ‘falsely’ declared you can not get, overcome or produce, I prophesy a release of the power of God to bring to pass in your life base on Joel 2:28 in Jesus’ Name.
I unstopped all barren wombs right now and I declare by the Spirit of Jesus that such wombs shall bear fruit and produce –for this is the will of God as revealed in Genesis 1:28 and Exodus 23:25–26.
I speak life by the power of the Spirit into weak reproductive organs: come alive and be productive in Jesus’ Name!
I command cancer to die out of your body in Jesus’ Name! Cancerous cells die in Jesus’ Name!!
I release the life of God upon malfunctioned kidney(s) and any other body organ–let them be supernaturally restored with NEW one(s) in Jesus’ Name.
I speak to those that have been told by medical ‘experts’ that they have just a few years, months, weeks or even days to live that; you shall NOT die but live to declare and testify of God’s healing power in the land of the living!
May God’s breath of life invade every part of your body bringing about healing and divine restoration in the Name of Jesus.
A report once came to a king( Hezekiah) in the Bible that he will die in a matter of days, he ‘ignore’ the verdict and he lived for over a decade more. The God that did it for Hezekiah is still on the Throne. He said; “I am the LORD, I change not; therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed” (Mal 3:6). I therefore, declare in the Name of Jesus that; you SHALL NOT die!
Have you been told by medical doctors that you will never walk again? – lie! The anointing of Jesus Christ of Nazareth that caused the man at the Beautiful Gate to walk in the days of Apostle Peter (Acts 3:1-10) is still very much operational today! I therefore say to you as Peter said to that man at the Beautiful Gate; “rise up and walk in the Name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth”.
The Lord will do something in your life that will tickle the ears of all that will of hear of it and amaze the eyes of all that will behold it in Jesus’ Name.
May there be an impartation of divine grace upon your life – grace to ignore the opposing reports of science concerning your life – grace to believe the report of the Lord.
May the Arm of the Lord be evidently revealed as touching your case in the matchless Name of Jesus Christ. What the Lord will wrought in your life even as you believe His report will cause you to shed tears of joy and offer prayers of thanksgiving – there shall come for you healing, restoration and divine visitation.
May the Lord rain upon every desert area of your life and body system, transforming them into something NEW, glorious, beautiful and fruitful in Jesus’ Name. Amen & Amen.
C’mon, believe the Lord’s report. Begin to sing the songs of the Ancient of Days –for behold, the LORD cometh for you! Let faith arise in you and begin to call those things that be not as though they are – you are healed! You are restored! You are made whole…
Give praise to Him whose Name is Jehovah Rapha. It’s a NEW season for you. Amen!
Shalom!
