This meeting is very sweet and informative. The Spirit of a Roman Philosopher who was living at the time of Jesus and was blessed to meet the Lord himself, and a person healed by Jesus, has visited the Spirit of Maharishi who was out of body in the spirit realm, and told him this beautiful story which you are going to read.
You'll understand why healing comes with forgiveness of sins. You'll understand why wherever the presence of the Lord is, there is healing, as our Lord Jesus Christ brought forgiveness of sins for salvation and healing occurs automatically with the forgiveness; And also there is a beautiful message for anyone who thinks God is ignoring , enjoy.
"A philosopher called Phinehas (his spirit) once visited the Maharishi (whose spirit was out of body) and narrated his encounter with the Lord Jesus. He lived during the time when our dear Lord was still in this world.
He heard a lot about the wonderful works of the Lord Jesus and was desirous to meet Him.
When Phinehas came to Canaan he went in search of the Lord. Almost everyone from whom he enquired about the whereabouts of the Lord told him the same thing: It was impossible to see the Lord because He was always thronged by a huge crowd. This news saddened Phinehas, but he did not give up. He finally got near a place where the Lord was reported to be around. There he met a man walking joyfully with a bed in his hand.
Phinehas asked the man where he was coming from. He replied that he was returning from receiving a miracle from the Lord.
Phinehas was surprised to hear this and asked him how he got to the Lord, who was always surrounded by a huge crowd.
“It was not difficult at all,” the man laughed in reply.
“Those who go to meet Him with good intentions are never disappointed.” “Look at me,” he blurted, “for 41 years I laid by the pool of Siloam hoping to jump into the pool when the waters are moved by an angel (cp. Jn 5:4). But never did anyone help me get into the water.”
As it happened, the Lord Jesus was walking by the pool of Siloam one day and saw from a distance a withered man writhing in pain. He came to this unfortunate soul and looked at him with love. With a smile on His face, the Lord then said to this man: “Take up your bed and go home.”
As soon as the infirmed man heard those words he jumped up and was made totally whole.
“O praise be to the most high God,” the healed man said to Phinehas. “Don’t lose heart. Many of those who are not able to see the Lord He calls them by name and listens to their requests (cp. Lk 19:1-10). He knows the secrets in the hearts of all men. He heals many and hundreds have been healed by merely touching the hem of his garment” (cp. Mk 6:24-34).
Please, here, be reminded of a very important scripture, written indelibly in the Holy Bible: “And there are also many other things that Jesus did, which if they were written one by one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that would be written. Amen” (Jn 21:25).
Phinehas came to a place where he found the Lord Jesus surrounded by a huge crowd. Pushing his way through the crowd he came close enough to behold the Lord and hear Him speak. The Lord looked around and noticed Phinehas in the crowd. Phinehas was captivated by the charm of His face and by the humility and gentleness shining from His eyes. Phinehas noticed the Lord sighing and looking at the crowd with great compassion.
A man with a withered hand approached the Lord Jesus. The man pleaded with the Lord to heal him. The Lord Jesus merely said, “Go, your sins are forgiven,” and the man’s hand was healed. This man, Phinehas later found out, was a treasury clerk in the Temple. He used to embezzle large sums of temple funds. It was this sin that caused the withering of his hand. The sin of embezzlement had become a habit, and it had not occurred to him that the withering of his hand was related to his dishonesty.
Only when the Lord declared his sins forgiven did he then realize his ailment was brought on by his own sin. Phinehas began to notice how the Lord pronounced the words “Your sins are forgiven you” as He was healing the people. It seemed that the Lord saw sin as the root cause of many sicknesses and diseases. The annihilation of sin thus resulted in the destruction of diseases. Phinehas witnessed many other miracles of the Lord.
Finally came the moment when Phinehas was able to get close enough to be seen by the Lord. Perceiving the desire in his heart, the Lord called out to him to come closer. Phinehas pressed forward and fell at His feet in worship. Raising him up, the Lord forgave him his sins, and blessed him with His holy hands.
Phinehas, now saved from his sins and blessed with a new life, returned back to his country with great joy. In those times an open confession of faith in the Lord Jesus meant facing the punishment of death. That did not deter Phinehas from proclaiming that the Lord Jesus alone was the Savior of mankind".
