STRONG OPINION:
Mathew 8:4; Luke 5:14; Mark 7:36; Mark 8:30.
In all the bible verses above, after healing Jesus commanded those healed,’…go and tell no one’.
Why did he say these words to people he had healed if in fact, he had come to be a fisher of men for the Kingdom of heaven?
Simple answer; Jesus was not a Christian.
Long answer is that, in my experience, the world has been miseducated to the level that 99 per cent have forgot the innate power of the human mind. Most wander through life blind, cheated out of gods.
Healing is found in that ‘only believe’ teaching and inside ones faith that whatever is going against them will end and that their situation will change for the better.
In the current world, people get healing, be it spiritual, physical, emotional from weird places.
It is an individual journey, not collective, as in spiritually, one can get more fulfilment in teachings from different church or religion from which he/she was born in; physically, a person can travel to a far away place where the ailment that they have been struggling with is suddenly taken away by ingesting some traditional medicine made from unknown substances sourced deep in the forest; emotionally, you can connect to new ideas that you hadn’t paid attention to and find them invigorating.
It is never the same, the lie is that were should be clustered like goats in a marketplace.
The clustering creates this problem that when a person has an epiphany or sees or finds help in a way or a place the leader of the cluster hasn’t taught and actually goes on to inform others in that cluster, this is seen as an attempt to divide church or mosque or whatever.
When a generation has become drunk with its ways and made people forget their innate powers and direction. When they are reminded, they naturally tend to disbelieve and healing or original nature of man isn’t a very cool thing.
A human being was created to have great freedom, but for the world. The medication is everywhere. What if I tell you that it is natural to have extrasensory perception, to have the ability to see beyond, to hear beyond and to communicate in strange tones and understand each other in spirit, to read minds, to read and understand patterns.
The problem is after we are cheated out of our natural abilities, it must take the proddings of ritualistic scenarios to nudge the brain back to remembrance.
Now these ‘rituals’, are the problem they scare the ‘modern’ man that they are debased and uncivilised.
Truth be told I believe more on the use of sand with little spittle to open the eyes of the blind man than in any other scenarios of healing, I also believe in the stirring of the pool at Bethesda John 5, a ritual which if it happens today will not attract many people, especially if it is peddled by the church and not a magician.
Most other accounts were not detailed but it would be naïve to believe that they were without ritualistic drama.
We hear of healings and miracles yet we are scared of the process since even the guys administering it don’t look appropriate. Well, you are missing out! And for the same reason of the miracle workers have been demonised by society and their ‘trade’ branded archaic and all sorts of names, Jesus Christ, when he had healed would command, GO AND TELL NO ONE!
PEACE BE UPON YOU
