Julie stood before the church group, her eyes calm but focused. She had been invited to speak about her journey as a healing evangelist. The room was quiet, expectant, and she began with simple words.

“I didn’t always know what God’s will was for my life,” she started. “I wasn’t born into this. Like many of you, I had questions. But I learned that God’s will is for all to be healed. That’s something I’ve seen firsthand.”

The group leaned in, eager for more. Julie smiled gently.

“Reason number two why we are sure it is God’s will for all to be healed today is found in Proverbs 18,” she said. “The strong spirit of a person sustains them in sickness. But a weak spirit? Who can bear it? You see, it’s not just about the body. It’s the spirit that needs strength.”

She looked around the room. “Many people don’t see the value in this. They don’t understand how a weak spirit can open the door to sickness, and how a strong spirit can heal.”

Julie paused. “I remember a lady who came to me. Doctors had diagnosed her as terminal. They said nothing could be done. But when I talked to her, I could tell she wasn’t ready. She didn’t believe healing was possible for her. She wasn’t convinced of God’s will.”

The group listened intently, as Julie continued.

“I invited her to stay for our healing service. She hesitated at first. She had plans to go shopping. Can you imagine? On the brink of death, and yet distracted by the things of this world. But that’s how many of us live. We don’t see the urgency.”

Julie’s voice softened. “But she stayed. And that was the beginning of her healing.”

Chapter 2: Faith Comes by Hearing

Julie stood still for a moment, letting her words sink in.

“You see, faith comes by hearing,” she said. “Romans 10:17 tells us that. And this lady needed faith. She needed the Word of God to strengthen her spirit, to prepare her for the healing she was about to receive.”

A man at the back of the room raised his hand. Julie nodded, inviting his question.

“What if we’re not ready to receive healing? What if we’re too weak?”

Julie smiled warmly. “That’s exactly the point. We get ready by filling ourselves with the Word. When your spirit is strong, your body follows.”

She glanced toward the door and called out, “I want to introduce someone to you.”

A woman walked into the room, her face glowing with health. Julie gestured for her to come up to the stage.

“This is Sarah,” Julie said. “She was healed recently. She’s here to share her story with you.”

Sarah stood beside Julie, smiling shyly.

Chapter 3: Sarah’s Testimony

Sarah took a deep breath. “I was in a bad place,” she began. “Doctors said I had little time left. My family thought it was over. And honestly, I had given up too. All I did was lie in bed, watch TV, and wait for the end.”

The room was silent. Julie nodded, encouraging her to continue.

“But then, I came to one of Julie’s services,” Sarah said. “I didn’t really believe anything could change. I was weak—spiritually and physically. But something she said struck me. She talked about how a strong spirit could sustain a person through sickness.”

Sarah paused, gathering her thoughts.

“I wasn’t strong. My spirit was as weak as my body. But I stayed. I listened to the Word. Day by day, something shifted. I started to believe that God’s will for me was healing.”

Julie spoke up, addressing the group again. “This is what we need to understand. Many of us are like Sarah was. We think we’re too weak, but we don’t realize that God’s Word has the power to strengthen us. It’s like building muscle. It takes time, but the more you fill yourself with truth, the stronger you become.”

Chapter 4: The Strong Spirit

Julie turned back to the congregation. “Many people think they’re fine. They go to church once a month, maybe read their Bible occasionally, and believe that’s enough. But they’re spiritually weak, and they don’t even know it.”

She sighed softly, her tone growing more serious. “Right now, your body is fighting off countless germs, bacteria, and viruses. The only reason you’re not sick is because your immune system is strong enough to handle it. The same is true spiritually. If your spirit is weak, sickness can overtake you.”

She glanced at Sarah. “Sarah learned this the hard way. But she grew stronger by feeding on the Word. Her spirit became strong, and as it did, her body began to heal.”

Sarah nodded in agreement. “It wasn’t easy. I had to let go of my doubts. I had to believe that healing was for me, not just for others.”

Julie faced the congregation. “This is the will of God for all of us. He wants us to be strong, to overcome, to be healed. But it starts with your spirit. A strong spirit sustains you through any trial.”

Chapter 5: Living in Victory

Julie raised her voice slightly, her passion clear. “You can live in victory. You don’t have to accept sickness, pain, or weakness. But you need to build your spirit. The enemy is waiting for you to get weak, but if you stay strong in the Word, he doesn’t stand a chance.”

The church was silent, absorbing her words.

“Don’t be like the millions of Christians who are spiritually weak because they neglect the Word. Every day, read your Bible. Pray. Praise. Worship. Make your spirit strong, and you will overcome whatever comes your way.”

Julie smiled as she looked over the group. “Sarah is living proof of that. She’s healed because she built her spirit, and that’s what I want for each of you.”

She turned to Sarah. “Would you pray with me for anyone here who needs healing?”

Together, Julie and Sarah led the group in prayer, their faith strong and unshakable. As the prayer ended, Julie knew that seeds had been planted—seeds of strength, healing, and faith.
