SID: So, God healed you gradually. It was a process and a lot of people misunderstand. They think when I pray, I come from McDonald’s generation. Everything is instant. That was something you learned.
DR. JOE: So many people quit before they get their healing. Because they think that they get instantaneous miracles all the time and that isn’t true. So, that was something that I had to relearn that I was going to keep going. Because when I finally understood that healing is mine because of the covenant. The thing that Jesus did on the cross bought my healing also. It’s not just healing as the word for physical healing. It’s also this is the word sozo which means healing of all sorts. It means total wholeness in every part of our life. When I finally started understanding that, then I had the tenacity to go after the healing the whole way.
SID: Tell me about your little toe.
DR. JOE: The doctor has said that’s never going to heal. That’s always going to be there. This pain, this shooting pain in the side of my-
SID: So your whole body is healed except that little toe.
DR. JOE: This little toe. It kept coming back.
SID: So, you should have said, “Huh, what a relief, that’s fine.”
DR. JOE: Yeah but I wasn’t going to settle for that. I wasn’t going to settle for 99.99% healing. So, the Lord just had me ask that doctor who was also a believer. He said, “Ask him to undo that curse that he put on you.” So, he called me one day and I said, “Doctor, you said that that pain would never go. I’m asking you to even if you would just say it’s possible for it to go.” He said, “Yes, it’s possible for it to go.” That pain went. It was gone.
SID: Are you saying to me that you had a word curse spoken over you and that word curse had to be reversed in order for you to manifest your healing? Is that what I’m hearing you say?
DR. JOE: In my case, it was absolutely so. Until that man who was a believer, because believers can get word curses as well as blessing. We do it all the time, Sid. What we speak happens. It’s only by the grace of God that a lot of things don’t happen that we speak. But we’ve got to watch our words. Because when we speak the word of God, we speak the truths of God the supernatural happens.
SID: I want you to pray for people that are hopeless, like you were. I want you to pray for people in devastating pain like you were. I want you to pray for people that are suicidal like you were and I want you to pray for those that think it just takes a special person. You are an every man.
DR. JOE: Right. I’d go to work every day like everybody else does. I have a family like everybody else does. I’m not a head of a church. I’m not an evangelist. I’m not a missionary. I am the church. I am an example of the church of what God wants every last one of us to be. Father in the name of Jesus, I just ask you to dispel the lies of the enemy that these people have been taught who are in sickness and disease and can’t seem to get relief. I just ask you God to speak your truth by the power of the Holy Spirit to them right now to give them hope that they don’t have that even the words that I’ve spoken have given them hope that they can be healed and that they will continue to pray and command their sickness to leave and even if they don’t have faith, they will find people who believe that will pray for them and continue to pray for them until they see their healing. I pray for those right now God who are contemplating suicide, believing that you’ve abandoned them. Believing that you don’t even see them because you love them.
They’re your favorites. We’re all one. So God, I believe that you want them to understand that the enemy had tried to perpetrate them against them and he’s not going to win. They need to turn to you and say, “Father show me how much you love me and that you will envelop them by the power of the spirit of God,” the truth that you love them so much that you gave your only begotten son just for them. They’re not just part of the church. They are an individual son and daughter of God that you love and have an incredible destiny for your life and the enemy knows it. He’s trying to keep them bound. I just speak to that today in Jesus name and I break that bondage and give them freedom in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord that they would rise up and be the church that Jesus called to go out there and put it back against the enemy.
That they would heal the sick, raise the dead, cast out devils and cleanse lepers and tell people, “See, the kingdom of God is here because of Jesus.”
SID: Say this prayer with me out loud and believe it to the best of your ability out loud. Dear God.
DR. JOE: Dear God.
SID: I’m a sinner.
DR. JOE: I’m a sinner.
SID: And I’m so sorry.
DR. JOE: And I’m so sorry.
SID: I believe.
DR. JOE: I believe.
SID: The blood of Jesus.
DR. JOE: The blood of Jesus.
SID: Washes away my sins.
DR. JOE: Washes away my sins.
SID: And I’m clean.
DR. JOE: And I’m clean.
SID: And now that I’m clean.
DR. JOE: And now that I’m clean.
SID: Jesus come and live inside of me.
DR. JOE: Jesus come and live inside of me.
SID: Give me experiential knowledge of you.
DR. JOE: Give me experiential knowledge of you.
SID: Amen.
DR. JOE: Amen.
SID: That means so be it. It’s finished.
