Six Areas where Salvation
Is Necessary

1 The Body: Physical illness
is caused by germs. Bodily pain, can occur also because of diabolical attacks.
The physical ailment of Job was because of diabolical affliction. Several
diseases are cured with medicine. There are, however, diseases that cannot
be healed by the physician. They are healed by prayer. Jesus Christ can
heal those who are fatally ill. The word of God has the power to heal us.
"For neither herb nor poultice cured them, but it was your word, O Lord,
that heals all people"(Wis 16:12).
2 The Soul: Man has a soul
as well as a body. The soul can be ill just like the body. The cause of
illness of the soul is sin. There is no natural remedy for this. When we
repent and give up sin and pray, we attain liberation.
3 The mind: Just as the
body and soul can be sick, the mind too can become ill. When we pray in
the name of Jesus, we obtain inner healing.
4 The family: The first
miracle Jesus performed was in a household. He changed water into wine
(cf Jn 2:1-11) and saved that family from disgrace. Let us surrender all
our family problems to Jesus. He will save our families.
5 Wealth: wealth is a gift
from God. Only when God gives wealth as a free gift, do we obtain it. We
do not necessarily become wealthy because we work hard. If there is no
liberation and blessing in the economic sphere, our debts cannot be cleared.
There will not be any savings. Through the prayer for liberation from attachment
to wealth, our bondage in this area is broken.
6 Diabolic bondage: Command
the powers of darkness to go out by seeking the authority of Christ's holy
name, the power of his blood and the protection of the holy cross. Pray
immediately to be filled with the Holy Spirit. Satanic bonds will then
be severed.
The Master key of
forgiving love
Using the masterkey God
himself has given us, we can obtain any favour we wish from Our Lord. Forgiving
love is this great gift. It widens the scope of the old precept-love your
neighbour as yourself. Jesus says, "Love one another as I have loved you"(Jn
13:34).There are four aspects of the love Jesus has for us.
1 Jesus makes Peter who
had denied him, the head of the Church. That is, he gives the first place
to those who had denied him.
2 Though Judas betrayed
him and deceived him he embraced Judas and called him "Friend".
3 He goes seeking the disciples
who had forsaken him and were heading for Emmaus. He speaks to them and
walks with them though they had not believed him and doubted him. After
that he breaks bread for them. See the love that seeks and finds those
who have given him up and brings them back to the experience of salvation.
4 Jesus, dying on the cross,
prays for those who are persecuting him and thus gives us the supreme example
of love for enemies. The perfect aspect of forgiveness is seen when an
undeserving person is given what he does not deserve, at the moment he
does not deserve it.
