God gives you victory and a crown

Today we have a promise word from Isaiah 62:3: “You shall be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.” A crown always represents victory and authority, which means you are going to have victory in your life. Diadem means something significant, which implies that something is going to be very noticeable in your life.

St Paul says that he fought a good fight, finished the race he was running, and kept his faith in Jesus, because of which he will surely get the ‘Crown’ that Jesus promises (2 Timothy 4:7–8). Today the Lord gives us this promise so that we may see steady progress in our lives towards victory and receiving the ‘Crown’. Whatever you may be doing at present in your life, whether it is your work or ministry, Jesus gives you victory through steady progress and the ‘Crown’, which is eternal life at the end. All of you who are insignificant in your office, family, church, ministry, or business, the Lord says that from today onwards you are going to become important. You will never be the tail but will become the head (Deuteronomy 28:12–13).

Though the Lord has promised success and victory to you, there can be blocks and bondages in the way for you to achieve success. This day the Lord gives a command to open the doors that are closed by the devil and his demons, just as He commanded a raven to bring food to Elijah (1 Kings 17:4). God also commands the skies to bring forth rain (Psalm 78:23) and to pour out manna (Exodus 16:14). Similarly, where there are no opportunities, the Lord is going to open new doors for you with opportunities to succeed.

Also, Jesus has the key to closed doors; when He opens, no one can shut (Revelation 3:7). There are many who are childless, but now Jesus gives a command, and all those reading this who are barren will conceive in the name of Jesus. God does not give commands directly but always through His prophets and preachers (Amos 3:7). Whatever I preach from this pulpit is a command of the Lord and will surely be fulfilled. We read in 1 Kings 17:1 that Elijah gave a command of God to stop rain in the land. There shall be showers of blessings in your life (Ezekiel 34:26), and what is closed in your life shall be opened. I give this command in the name of Jesus. All of you are going to make progress in your health, wealth, family, and career. When the Chief Shepherd comes, you will receive the Crown from His hands (1 Peter 5:4). Amen.

God gives commands for sicknesses to leave the body of the faithful, which is evident from the following testimonies.

Ashok Lobo from Mumbai gives this testimony: “I was healed from tuberculosis (TB). I had been undergoing treatment for eight months. My wife prayed every day at 3 PM during the Divine Mercy prayer online and encouraged me to attend the Logos retreat. Two days before leaving for the retreat, my test results showed symptoms still present in my lungs, which disturbed me. During the retreat, on the fourth day, Fr Jose called out my name and said, ‘Ashok, your prayers are answered, and you are healed.’ I claimed it in faith. When I returned to Mumbai and took a sputum test the next day, it came back negative. Praise God!”

Wilfred from Singapore says: “I was healed from severe L4–L5 spine pain. The pain was so intense that I was on painkillers and bedridden for two days before the retreat. On the eve of the retreat, I almost gave up and thought of returning to Singapore. However, while reciting the Divine Mercy prayers, I persevered and stayed. After the fourth day of the retreat, I felt great relief, and during the anointing session when Fr Jose prayed over me, 98% of my pain disappeared, and I regained my mobility.”

Sellina Gomes from Goa was healed from breast cancer. She faithfully attended the online adoration service every afternoon. In 2023, she was diagnosed with cancer and underwent surgery. Recently, after completing three routine scans, all her reports came back completely normal.

Likewise, Premilla from Bangalore was healed from severe acidity reflux and IBS. Following Fr Jose’s guidance, she prayed the Divine Mercy Chaplet, drank holy water, and applied holy oil daily. During adoration, she saw a vision of Divine light while Fr Jose called out her name, declaring her healing. She says she is completely healed by the wounds of Jesus. Praise the Lord!

Now lift up your hands. Look unto the Lord. Whatever may be your problem today, He gives the command through me for healing of diseases, blessing of children, deliverance from blocks and bondages, and anointing of the Holy Spirit. Receive your blessing in the name of Jesus. Amen.
