Distance is Not An Issue
“For though I am absent in the flesh, yet am I with you in the spirit, rejoicing and seeing your order, and the steadfastness of your faith in Christ.” (Colossians 2:5 WEB)
At that time, there was no Internet technology. There was no way to hop on a Zoom online conference call to speak to the churches. Instead, the apostle Paul saw visions of the churches in his spirit, and that is how he could see their order and steadfastness of faith. Having the Holy Spirit in us is like being connected to the Internet. We are connected to all the knowledge and power that God has.
Nowadays, the local church that I attend is not allowed to hold in-person church services due to government regulations. As a result, all services are held through online broadcast instead.
Although I miss sitting in the physical services, worshipping the Lord together with other believers, I believe that online services are no less powerful than in-person ones.
Many people are more comfortable with ‘the human touch’, such as receiving prayer in person, having a pastor to place his hand upon them while praying, but this physical contact is actually not absolutely necessary.
In His second miracle, Jesus demonstrated that the power of the Holy Spirit is not limited by distance.
“Jesus came therefore again to Cana of Galilee, where he made the water into wine. There was a certain nobleman whose son was sick at Capernaum. When he heard that Jesus had come out of Judea into Galilee, he went to him, and begged him that he would come down and heal his son, for he was at the point of death. Jesus therefore said to him, “Unless you see signs and wonders, you will in no way believe.” The nobleman said to him, “Sir, come down before my child dies.” Jesus said to him, “Go your way. Your son lives.” The man believed the word that Jesus spoke to him, and he went his way. As he was now going down, his servants met him and reported, saying “Your child lives!” So he inquired of them the hour when he began to get better. They said therefore to him, “Yesterday at the seventh hour, the fever left him.” So the father knew that it was at that hour in which Jesus said to him, “Your son lives.” He believed, as did his whole house. This is again the second sign that Jesus did, having come out of Judea into Galilee.” (John 4:46-54 WEB)
Jesus was in Cana, while the sick boy was in Capernaum. Just by speaking the words “your son lives” in faith, the power of the Holy Spirit healed the boy from a long distance away. Jesus did not have to lay hands on the child in order for him to be healed.
The nobleman initially thought that Jesus had to go to his house before the son could be healed. However, when Jesus released the words, “Go your way, your son lives,” the nobleman believed, and that was enough to receive the healing in proxy for his son.
We know that the nobleman believed because he met Jesus at the seventh hour (between 1 - 2pm). Cana and Capernaum are about 25 miles apart (about 6 - 8 hours walking distance) so if the nobleman set off immediately, he could be back home the same day at night to check on his son.
However, we see that the nobleman only spoke to his servant the next day. This means that the nobleman stayed at an inn or something for a night, and trusted that his son had been healed. If he had been unbelieving, he would have rushed home right away so as not to miss his son’s last moments, since he was “at the point of death”.
There are other long-distance healing miracles like this one, such as Jesus healing the Roman centurion’s servant, and Jesus healing the Syrophoenician woman’s demon-possessed daughter.
Continue to feed on the rhema word that God is releasing in season. Whether online or in-person, God’s power is still fully effective, and is not limited by the distance or channel.
As long as you hear or read, believing it, you shall experience the manifestation of the rhema word.
In the nobleman’s son’s case, the word in season was “your son lives”.
Earlier this year, I felt like I was coming down with a flu. I was sneezing repeatedly and my nose was dripping. I felt weak and irritable.
As I was praying in tongues and also asking Jesus to heal me and make me well, suddenly I heard these words in my spirit: “he grew strong through faith”.
Instantly, I knew that the Holy Spirit was talking about the apostle Paul’s description of Abraham in “Romans”.
“Yet, looking to the promise of God, he didn’t waver through unbelief, but grew strong through faith, giving glory to God, and being fully assured that what he had promised, he was also able to perform.” (Romans 4:21 WEB)
This was a rhema word for me to be healed. I grabbed it and repeatedly confessed and meditated on this, that I was growing strong through faith.
Abraham grew physically stronger through faith. He was already old and weak, but because he believed in the rhema word which God spoke to him, he and his wife Sarah experienced drastic youth renewal.
Their saggy skin, old internal organs, weak muscles, and dry bones were all renewed miraculously, allowing them to be fit for childbearing and even raising a child.
As I kept confessing “he didn’t consider the deadness of his own body, but he grew strong through faith,” I felt physically better and I did not sneeze or have runny nose anymore.
It was just a few words, but I emphasized on the “grew” and “strong”. Suddenly, each word was pregnant with life-giving power for my situation.
Faith comes through hearing the rhema word of Christ. What is He saying to you? As you are listening to a sermon video online, what is the key message or statement that jumps out at you and makes a strong impression in you heart? Sometimes the Lord whispers a verse or passage to you from within. Grab it and declare it for yourself because it carries the miracle-working power of God to turn your situation around!
Actionable Steps:
1. Get yourself plugged in to a ministry that preaches the Gospel. Listen to the new messages released by the pastor or preacher. If the Holy Spirit led you there, then you will benefit from believing the rhema words that is released through that ministry.
2. Train your mind to believe in the limitless reach of prayer. Pray for people who are far away from you, knowing that God will answer your prayers of faith, regardless of the distance between you and them.
3. When you receive a word in season (rhema word), write it down in your notebook or somewhere so that you do not forget. Revisit these words often and declare them, so long as you are still waiting for the manifestation.

Escape All These Things
““So be careful, or your hearts will be loaded down with carousing, drunkenness, and cares of this life, and that day will come on you suddenly. For it will come like a snare on all those who dwell on the surface of all the earth. Therefore be watchful all the time, praying that you may be counted worthy to escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man.”” (Luke 21:34-36 WEB)
There will come a day where we will suddenly be transformed within the twinkling of an eye, and snatched up to meet Jesus in the air. It will happen all over the worldwide within a split second, and everyone left behind will have to deal with the ensuing chaos and confusion.
If that day catches you by surprise, it means that you were too focused on the cares of this life that you were actually surprised when the Rapture happened.
“NOOO! I have not completed ____ yet! I cannot leave now!” If anything fills that blank, it has probably replaced Jesus as the chief focus in your heart.
The Rapture will be like a snare to the unsuspecting unbelievers of the world, like when one steps on a pitfall trap and the whole structure simultaneously collapses under its weight.
However, to believers who are watching the end-times signs that point to the closeness of the Lord Jesus’ return, they will not be caught off guard. They will be like the watchful father in Jesus’ parable, who saw the son returning while he was still far off.
Notice how Jesus revealed that God’s will is for us to “escape all these things that will happen, and to stand before the Son of Man”?
Many Christians still don’t believe in a pre-Tribulation Rapture. They think that they will be going through the Tribulation. But we know that we will ESCAPE all these things. There will be a great escape to bring the saints safely to Heaven first, before the worst befalls the unbelieving world.
“Abraham came near, and said, “Will you consume the righteous with the wicked? What if there are fifty righteous within the city? Will you consume and not spare the place for the fifty righteous who are in it? Be it far from you to do things like that, to kill the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous should be like the wicked. May that be far from you. Shouldn’t the Judge of all the earth do right?” Yahweh said, “If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will spare the whole place for their sake.”” (Genesis 18:23-26 WEB)
Abraham knew that God as a righteous Judge would not punish the righteous with the wicked. If there are any righteous ones in the world, the Tribulation and the following bowls, trumpets, and vials of God’s wrath would not begin. This is why there must be a pre-Tribulation Rapture, to remove the righteous ones before judgment begins.
God waited until Noah and his family entered the ark before sending the flood. He waited until Lot left the city before raining fire onto Sodom and Gomorrah. Finally, He made a distinction between the children of Israel and the children of Egypt during the plagues. Seeing these, we know that God will bring the saints to Heaven first before the Tribulation begins.
It could happen any time now. We see that the infrastructure of the Antichrist’s regime is almost in place. Look up, for your redemption draws near!

The four gospels are full of beautiful truths about God’s Grace and love towards us. By beholding Jesus Christ, we can know our Abba God. There are many misconceptions because of legalistic interpretations of the four gospels, and it has caused believers to be fearful, condemned, and they cannot enjoy the joy of their salvation.
If you enjoy the content that I post, you will enjoy my eBook bundle “Understand the Four Gospels Through the Lens of Grace”. It’s time to be freed from the bondage of wrong believing, and it’s time to rightly divide the word by the covenants: https://bit.ly/understandeveryparable

眼見為憑
Translation: @benkongenglish
.
我一直這樣相信著
眼見即為憑 且
眼見方為憑
.
學會潛水後我才改觀
親眼所見不一定是真的
真的也不一定能被雙眼證實
.
我的潛水啟蒙教練在第一堂課說
「因為光的折射
在水裡看到的東西會感覺比較大 比較近
和一般陸地上的感知有點差異」
於是
我學到在水裡看到的都是幻象
就像鏡子裡並沒有另一個我的存在
只是一個影像 一個物理現象
.
在水中探索海中世界
幻象的成見也被海流漸漸沖淡
反正我已經習慣伸手多少距離能碰到海葵
也學會撿起海床上看起來或大或小的石頭
距離 體積 重量 觸感 都重新寫了新的標準
.
當氣瓶殘壓不足
我們緩慢上浮
當我雙眼高過水面 又回到一個假的世界
我看到的東西感覺起來比較小 比較遠
背上的氣瓶也突然沉沉地扯住我的雙肩
.
我重新習慣新的距離 體積 重量 觸感
繼續在我誕生的幻象世界裡生活
稍微不執著一點了
稍微不在意一些了
.
Seeing is believing, and only believe seeing
This was my belief.
.
This changed when I learned how to dive.
Seeing doesn’t mean it’s true; the truth may not always be seen
.
My coach said during the first lesson
“Everything in the water looks bigger and closer due to refraction. It’s different from your perception on the ground”
I learnt that everything I see in the water is just an illusion, same as the visual image we see in a mirror.
There’s not another me inside.
It’s just physics.
.
Exploring the underwater world, I got more used to the illusion with every stroke.
I got used to the distance between my hands and the sea anemones when I stretched.
I could easily pick up big and small stones on the sea bank.
Distance, volume, weight, touch - all redefined.
.
When oxygen was used up and we went back to the surface.
At the moment my eyes got above the surface,
I returned to another illusory world where things look smaller, farther.
Even the oxygen bottle suddenly felt like a thousand pounds on my shoulder.
.
I, again, got used to the new distance, volume, weight and touch.
Continued living my life in the illusive world where I was born.
I became less stubborn.
I cared less.

Your blood, shed for me
