THE JOURNEY

From Marah to Elim

Marah

In 2020, I committed to the Lord to partner with Him full-time in His Kingdom. It was quite a bumpy ride for me to get out of the world system and get “Egypt” out of me. The next 14 years were a wilderness period, accompanied by many tears, trials, and persecution. I reached a similar stage to that of Elijah when he cried out in the wilderness: “I have had enough, Lord! Take my life! I am no better than my ancestors” (1 Kings 19:4).

This was my own “Marah” period, during which I wrote many prayers of supplication.

Elim

Around 2008, a prophecy was spoken over me that I would be involved in healing ministry. It was only in 2014 that the Lord released me and, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit, my training started in March 2014. Although I did not fully understand what such a ministry would entail, I applied the basic healing principles the Holy Ghost taught me. My mother received healing from fibromyalgia, an incurable disease according to the medical profession. After this, I witnessed many other miracles of healing, including a young woman healed from cystic fibrosis, also an “incurable” disease.

My journey included my own move through the Red Sea, where I, like Israel, almost died from anxiety. But I made it through by grace and by acknowledging my authority in Christ, when I, too, commanded the waters to open up, after which I saw my enemies drown in the Red Sea.

Israel met Yehovah Rapha, their Healer, at Marah, where He healed the bitter water. After they had left Marah the Lord led them to camp at Elim, a place with twelve wells of water and seventy date palms. This year (2023), the Lord brought me to my own Elim, where I met Him as both Yehovah Jireh and as my Provider. Just like Israel, I had to pass through the wilderness, cross the Jordan River, and deal with all my enemies in the promised land, where I have now found my dominion rest.

During my journey through the wilderness to the promised land since 2017, the Lord gave me a vision of a building. I saw the building on the piece of land my wife and I are currently owning. The Lord showed me this is where I would minister to many people. Looking back, I realize that the past 10 years were training, learning to walk by faith, and trusting in God for everything.

Healing of the Nations

Planted by the Water

We are called to trust in the Lord and be like a tree planted by the waterside.

“He will be like a tree planted by the water that sends out its roots by a stream. He won’t fear when the heat comes, and his leaves will be green. In a year of drought he won’t be concerned, nor will he stop producing fruit.”

Jeremiah 17:8 ISV

Such trust, of course, is grounded in another tree – Calvary’s Tree. The roots of this tree are planted on the violent conveyor belt of human history, but its branches reach all the way to the New Jerusalem.

It is a tree, according to John in Revelation, that grows beside the river of the water of life, bright as crystal, and it flows from the throne of God and of the Lamb through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing fruit each month, and the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations.

Revelation 22:1–2

So, this tree of Jeremiah’s vision which is planted by water and which sends out its roots by the stream does not stop establishing itself until all the nations, all of creation, are HEALED. This is its core business, and that healing takes place by the very gift of the tree itself.
