Many people are suffering from broken marriages, financial difficulties, and from incurable sicknesses and diseases. They desire a miraculous touch from God and do not understand why it is not happening. They have not been taught that they possess a title deed called “faith” that gives them covenant rights with the Father to make their hopes a reality.

Recently, after ministering the Word of God at a faith and healing conference I went to minister healing to the sick. I was presented to a woman who had been bound to a wheelchair for many years. She was bitter and angry with everyone, but mostly at God. Her marriage was in ruins. Her dream to be a mother was stolen from her. Her financial situation looked impossible. And she lost her desire to live.

As I went to lay my hand on her to pray she screamed out with all her might, “When God?” I knelt down and looked her in the eye and said, “God is not withholding your miracle from you. This tragedy in your life is not of God, but of satan. Right now, we are going to take our authority over satan and all of his wicked works and release God’s healing power into your body. Then, we are going to put our faith in action and you will walk again.”

How could I be so sure that God was going to heal this woman? Because I know God, and

His Word says in 1John 3:8b about Jesus, “For this purpose the Son of God was manifested, that he might destroy the works of the devil.”, and Hebrews 13:20 speaks of the everlasting covenant we have with the Father, “Now the God of peace, that brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, that great shepherd of the sheep, through the blood of the everlasting covenant,”

This everlasting covenant we have with our heavenly Father is our title deed that states in 1John 5:14-15, “And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: And if we know that he hears us, whatsoever we ask, we know that we have the petitions that we desired of him.”

A title deed is a legal document that has been signed, sealed and delivered that lawfully transfers property to a new owner and verifies that person’s legal right to possess it. According to Hebrews 11:1 faith is our title deed, and we are the rightful owners of those things we are hoping for.

“NOW FAITH is the assurance (the confirmation, ^[^a^]the title deed) of the things [we] hope for, being the proof of things [we] do not see and the conviction of their reality [faith perceiving as real fact what is not revealed to the senses].” Amplified Bible

What is it that we are hoping for? Are we hoping for physical healing? Our title deed states in Jeremiah 30:17a, “For I will restore health unto thee, and I will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the LORD;” Are we hoping for a restored marriage? It is written in Matthew 19:26, “But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible.” Are we hoping for a better job that can support the needs of our family? Philippians 4:19 promises us, “But my God shall supply all your need according to his riches in glory by Christ Jesus.”

The woman who was bound to a wheelchair, who’s marriage was in ruins, and her dream to have children was lost, needed a title deed called “faith” in order to make her hopes a reality.

She received this free title deed and dared to believe and now walks, her marriage is restored, she is expecting a child, and the financial situation is better than it was before.

We too, need a title deed that gives us the legal right to possess these hopes, and faith in God’s goodness and grace to honor His Word is our title deed.

The other day I was sitting on a plane that was returning to the gate because it was too heavy to lift off the ground. The airline company was asking for volunteers to de-board the plane and take the next flight that evening to Guatemala instead. Five of us volunteered. We were well compensated for any inconvenience. I was to find out that God had a much broader plan in mind than just a mere $800 voucher for my next trip. I was about to have lunch with Jesus and a few other guests, and I was being asked to be a witness.

There was an older man in the group, named Santi who was loud, offensive, controlling and obviously very angry with God. I had to fine-tune my spiritual ears to hear above his rough speech and listen to his underlying message. I gave him permission to share his opinions and I said that I would listen to him.

He said he had visited many denominations in his lifetime and basically was turned off by the hypocrisy that he saw. He claimed he read the Bible once all-the- way- through about 30 years ago, and tried to persuade me that it wasn’t true. He knew a little bit of Church history and was well versed in its fallen leaders, but clearly had no understanding of the Scriptures. He would ask me questions, but really didn’t want me to answer him, but I did anyways. He would mock everything I said, except for my testimonies. My testimonies silenced his critical tongue and made him extremely uncomfortable, but after a while he turned to me and said about my testimonies, “That’s true faith.”

A young woman, named Katherine in her early twenties was with us, and she shared that she was raised in the Church, but was hurt by the Church as a child and said she was agnostic. As I listened to her I felt I should apologize on behalf of the Church for her pain, and I did. As she listened to Santi and I share our beliefs this agnostic young woman was verbally agreeing with me and said, “I too believe in a triune God, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.” She admitted that she was searching.

The other woman in the group was named Elizabeth and confessed that she believed in Jesus, but believed it was best not to talk about “religion”, but she interrupted Santi several times and disagreed with his unbelief. She made it very clear that she believed in Jesus.

I’m not offended by Santi’s harsh words. The truth of the matter is that he is not against me, but against Jesus in me, and he detests the hypocrisy that he sees within the Church. In all honesty, I can look beyond his arrogant nature and see with my spiritual eyes a hurting and lost man that needs the love of God.

I made it very clear that I was not a believer in religion, but a believer in relationship with Jesus Christ. God created us with a free will to follow Him or to deny Him. There is a heaven and a hell, and those that choose to deny Him will go to hell.

So, I pray for Santi and Katherine that both will surrender and give all their hurt and bitterness to Jesus in exchange for healing and peace and everlasting life with Jesus Christ in heaven. And that Elizabeth will learn to speak up and share her faith in Jesus, and be a witness to those around her. Amen.
