Isaiah 10:27 ‘And it shall come to pass Godin that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.’
DAILY READING; Matthew 14:1-21; Leviticus 20-21; Proverbs 30
Carey Reams was an army engineer during World War II, who was almost killed by a land mine. The explosion had shattered his waist through the pelvis, and broken his neck, and his back.
Sent home, almost half dead, for the next five years Carey underwent forty-one surgeries.
He was repeatedly hospitalized and always used crutches.
By December of 1950, he began suffering repeated hemorrhages. Sensing death was close, he told his doctors he didn’t want to be hospitalized but rather wanted to spend his last Christmas at home with his family.
As Carey waited for death, he heard that Kathryn Kuhlman was going to hold healing services in Pittsburgh.
He realized that getting to a miracle service was his last and only hope. On December 28, 1950, early on a Thursday morning, Carey, all alone, painfully and slowly climbed aboard a bus bound for Pittsburgh. Thirty-six hours later when he arrived at the venue for the service, he received the crushing news that the service ended an hour before. However he learned that in two days time, Kathryn would be at a
Sunday service scheduled for Butler, Pennsylvania.
Totally exhausted and in almost intolerable pain, Carey looked unto God to enable him live long enough to get to the next meeting.
Two days later, on December 31, 1950, Carey, assisted by two strong men, arrived at the venue for the Sunday service. There was no seats left, but a woman who noted his predicament, offered him her seat.
On entering inside, Carey was greatly disappointed to learn that the service that day was not for healing. Kathryn Kuhlman only talked to the audience. Carey watched in dismay as the service eventually came to an end and Kathryn raised her hand to say the benediction.
But just when Carey felt all hope was lost, something amazing happened! Kathryn slowly looked directly in his direction and pointed a finger straight at him. She said, ‘Are you from Florida?’
Carey’s hopes immediately soared as he replied, ‘Yes.’ Then she asked him to stand up, but he said, he couldn’t. She said, firmly, ‘In The Name of Jesus, stand up and look up and walk!”.
At her words, Carey found himself going up the aisle, clutching his crutches. On reaching the front, Miss Kuhlman ordered the crutches to be taken away.
As he dropped the crutches Carey found that new strength entered into him and his legs could successfully bear his weight, also all the pain in his body instantly vanished. When Miss Kuhlman asked him to come up on the platform, Carey didn’t walk, he ran up the staircase to the platform!
Carey Reams who had been helpless and dying, was now totally healed! He couldn’t praise and thank God enough.
The following day, Carey bought a new truck, loaded it with furniture and drove all the way from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to Florida. When he walked in to his home without crutches, his family were astounded by his miraculous healing.
Carey soon started a business which thrived greatly and he always sowed gratefully towards the spread of the Gospel.
Carey’s story is captured in Kathryn Kuhlman’s book, ‘I Believe in miracles,’.
1 John 2:27 says that the Anointing which abides inside us will teach us all things.
It was through this anointing that Kathryn Kuhlman Knew about Carey Reams and pointed him out without anyone telling her.
When the anointing is upon us, God will use us to do incredible miracles and many lives will be delivered from destruction. Today, there are people like Carey Reams, who are groaning and crying and looking for healing and deliverance from their afflictions. We must therefore take our place as anointed sons and daughters of God and begin to manifest His Power for the rescue of the oppressed.
As believers in these end-times, we have been sent to this generation by divine design to break the yoke in people’s lives.
It is only by the Anointing of God that burdens are removed and yokes of oppression—sickness, disease, poverty etc, are destroyed.
Isaiah 10:27 says ‘And it shall come to pass in that day, that his burden shall be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy neck, and the yoke shall be destroyed because of the anointing.’
During His ministry, Jesus was greatly anointed with the Holy Ghost and with power and He went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed [Acts 10;38].
Just as God sent Jesus into the world, so has He also sent us.
The word ‘Christ’ is not just another name for Jesus but is defined as “the Anointed One.”
Our being Christians means more than just followers of Jesus, it means we are “the anointeds.”
We are to walk in great power and anointing just like Christ and rescue men from all oppressions of the devil.
It is God’s plan that the end-time Church experience great explosion of miracles signs and wonders, just as was seen in the days of the early Church. Let us therefore rightly position ourselves to be a part of God’s great end-time move upon the earth.
However, our level of manifestation will be a function of the degree of our submission to the Holy Spirit. Let us therefore prepare to be usable vessels, through
spiritual growth, maturity and greater intimacy with the Holy Spirit.
PRAYER: Lord, please whatever You are doing in this season, may I never miss out on it. Please help me to be spiritually sensitive to Your every leading, so that I can take my place in Your great army in these last days in Jesus Name.
