Put Our Trust In The Lord

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. - Psalm 20:7

The Scriptures tell us to trust NO ONE, except the name of the Lord. Yet it also tells us to be trustworthy (Luke 16:10; Titus 2:7).

In other words, while we ourselves seek to be trustworthy, we are to put our trust only in Jesus.

I honour doctors. I think it's a great profession, except for those who put money above saving lives. I thank God for them who have, in many cases, saved many lives. But you either put your trust in the Lord or you put your trust in doctors. It is a very thin line. Whoever you choose to put your trust in will determine the trustworthiness of the report. For me, doctor Jesus always has the most accurate report.

I don't put my trust in doctors. Because I know they are imperfect and they may fail to give an accurate report. They can only do the best they know how with the limited knowledge they have. Not only that, they will always prepare you for the worst possible scenario to protect their reputation... I mean... to prepare you. A very small handful will actually be positive to give you hope.

My wife knows that I don't listen to doctors. Sometimes, she gets a little frustrated. And I can fully understand. Because she is such a loving wife and mother who cares. But I have to walk divine health out. It is too late to stop me. Because I have given myself to divine healing. There are still alot more that I haven't seen. But I have seen enough. It is way too late to convince me otherwise.

In 2007, I was unable to get up from bed. I tried again and again, but fell flat on the floor, with no ability whatsoever to get up. I was sent to A&E where the doctor only gave me pills to relax the muscle as he suspected it's a muscle pull.

I was then sent to the orthopedics department for specialist treatment. The orthopedist diagnosed it as a pull in the tendon. So he gave me painkillers and sent me to the physiotherapist.

The physiotherapist did a few sessions with me but to no avail.

As none of these worked for me, I went to a popular chiropractor in Singapore that cost me a bomb for every treatment. The chiropractor said, "Because you always put your wallet on the right side of your back, your tailbone is uneven, causing you to have this problem." He proceeded to adjust my back and tailbone for a couple of sessions. None of it worked and I stopped (letting him earn my money) the treatment.

I went to a few Chinese sinseh. One said that my discs were not fully aligned and proceeded to do karate combo hits on my back. It was excruciating and the outcome was ZERO.

Another sinseh put tons of needles all over my body, saying that it has to do with blood circulation. The pain was so dull and sharp (yes, it's a combination) that I couldn't sleep every night.

I went to a specialist doctor recommended by people. He said, "Oh, it has to do with your shoes, you know... buy a pair of tennis shoes (the sickness resulted in plantar fasciitis) and I'm confident that you will be okay." I went to buy the shoes and the outcome was... my feet became more swollen than ever before.

This was getting really frustrating. None of them could diagnose my problem. So I went to another specialist in the hospital. He decided to do a bone scan and blood test (and NONE of the specialist did that at the beginning???) before suspecting that it is an auto-immune disease.

I was then referred to the rheumatologist who said, "There is no cure at the moment. And I don't know how you got this disease. Because 99% is genetic. Yours belong to that 1% unknown. We will try some strong painkillers and steroids to control the pain and reduce the inflammation in the body.” 

TRY???

Alright. I took them and the steroids resulted in extreme gastric issue, despite the gastric pills he gave to counter the side effects. Nothing worked.

So I went back and he gave me sulphasalazine... sulphur something like that. The name of the medicine is sophisticated, and I think some doctors may not even know the full effects of such medicine. Again, I'm not putting down the doctors. I'm simply revealing how HUMAN they are and how LIMITED they are. Would we put our trust in the limitless God or the limited human?

The new medicine caused me to be nausea all the time and I felt like a pregnant woman. My urine became orange-ish. Apparently, it would affect the liver. Wah piangz... That's probably a fast way to treat the auto-immune disease. When you have liver damage and die, you are set free from the auto-immune disease.

Joke aside. I went back to the rheumatologist and he said, "Well, you got to be put under biofusion treatment... pretty cheap... only $3000-$4000 per month." Okay... the pretty cheap part is added by me. I was fed-up on the inside. Enough is enough.

I told him that I would not want the treatment. I went back home, searched all the Scriptures I could find on healing and started to meditate day and night.

"Trust in the Lord with all your heart...It will be health to your flesh, and strength to your bones." - Prov 3:5,8

"My son, give attention to my words; For they are life to those who find them, and health to all their flesh." - Prov 4:20,22

Apparently, there is no side effect in the Word of God, except LIFE, STRENGTH and HEALTH.

I kept meditating regardless of the symptoms in the body, the medical review and reports from the specialist, the inflammation level indicator, etc.

As time went by, the symptoms began to decrease and eventually disappeared. Doctor was surprised when I went back for review. I was asked alot of questions. "What did you do to your body?" "What did you eat?" "O, you can bend your body and touch the feet with your hands?"

When I said that I didn't eat but fasted and prayed to Jesus, she asked, "How long did you fast?" I said, "21 days." She said, "21 days without food?" I said, "Yes." She said, "This is very bad for your health! You can't do that."

I did not reply further. Because the carnal mind is always hostile against God. Most doctors operate from the carnal mind. There is no need for argument, because we are on a different frequency. We don't have to argue a point to put forth a truth. We let our lives present the truth.

By the way, the doctors will never acknowledge that you are healed from an incurable disease. We have to face the reality of medical science. At most, they only say in the report, "There is no trace of so and so..."

But we know full well who is the Healer. It's the name of the Lord - Jehovah Rapha. We know who has the most accurate report - "By His stripes, we are healed."

The next time you receive a medical report from doctor, you start thanking Jesus, "Thank You that You have a better report. I'm putting my trust in You and You alone."

My son had high fever (highest at 40.7 degrees) for three days. It kept flunctuating between 39 and 40. We kept ministering healing. After two days, my wife said, "We need to bring him to the doctor." So we went. Doctor said, "Suspected it is HFMD because of two big ulcers near the throat." Though the two ulcers were really big, we knew God already removed the pain because he was still eating well for that three days without a single complain about any pain. On the fourth day, every symptom was gone. He was healed. We went back to the doctor for review. (Apparently, for HFMD, you need to go back to be certified before you can go to school.) The doctor said, "While there is no symptom, it is better to keep him home for two more days." I asked the doctor, "So you can't confirm whether it is HFMD or not, correct?" He replied, "At this point, we can't confirm yet."

While we know that God has restored his health, we need to know that doctor cannot be on the same page as us. The former is about heavenly science while the latter is about medical science. This further reveals that we are indeed in this world but not of this world.

My son, in the past four days, asked me twice, "Papa, why is it that Mama and I are always sick but you are never sick?" In his impression, he has not seen me sick. 

Imagine your 4-year old son asking you this question, "Papa, why are you never sick?" This is the kind of question you want your child to ask you because it's not about what you say. It is your life that reveals something different from him and he wants to find out the secret.

It is the question that you can only answer with the name of Jesus.

His question drove me to my knees for worship. I started to thank the Father for keeping me healthy under the New Covenant. I started to thank Him for His love and boast in His goodness.

The truth is... he doesn't know how sick I was before he was born in this world... when I was down with the auto-immune disease. It was the reality of the sickness that drove me to the revelation of divine healing and divine health.

I answered him, "Because of Jesus. Because Papa stays in the presence of Jesus."

He replied, "I also want to do that with you."

It was a precious conversation. I am not perfect yet, but perfect in progress. I desire my life to represent Him so that my son will keep asking questions because of the fruit of my life, instead of the fruit of my lips.

Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the Lord our God. - Psalm 20:7

Let’s put our trust in Doctor Jesus!

Disclaimer: I'm NOT asking anyone, at any time, not to go to doctors. God gave doctors to help the fallen world. They are just not as perfect as God. Go to doctors, but put your trust in the Lord. Don't let what doctors say convince you more than what God says. Put our TRUST in Jesus alone.
