Testimony 89. Mei Mei – Look upon Jesus to receive the miracle

Name: Mei Mei
Date: Mar 2009
Location: Singapore
Note: Mei Mei shared this testimony tonight during our Grace Fellowship on 26th March (written by Joshua)

Joshua: As I share these testimonies, I know there are people who are wary of spiritual experiences. To such, we reaffirm that every personal experience or personal revelation should fall in line with the Word of God. If something contradicts the Word, we will have to discard it – even if it comes from any prophet. God does not contradict Himself. But I am glad to share these testimonies because they all came in line with God’s Word.

The Holy Spirit told Mei Mei that when we look upon Jesus, we will receive the miracle. Whatever the problem, the secret is to look to Jesus. Interestingly, that was the Holy Spirit impresses on my heart to share with the people as we ended the worship.

This is indeed a powerful truth of the redemption work of Christ and the New Covenant. It is so simple that most people miss it. People look for complex formula’s and they want to perform in order to receive the promise. But all it takes is to look upon Jesus.

When the Israelites were bitten by snakes in the desert, a number of them died. Then the Lord asked Moses to make a bronze serpent and raise it on a pole. Anyone who looked upon it would live. Anyone who kept looking at the wounds would die.

This bronze serpent on the pole is a picture of Jesus on the cross carrying all our sins, sicknesses and curses. It is the picture of the redemption work of Christ. When we see Jesus on the cross, we see that He paid the price for us. Our faith then responds to the grace of Jesus to receive the promise.

(Numbers 21:9)
9 So Moses made a bronze serpent, and put it on a pole; and so it was, if a serpent had bitten anyone, when he looked at the bronze serpent, he lived.


There is another powerful verse. We not only see Jesus on the cross. We also see Jesus on the throne. We see Him in all His glory because we are in Him and He is in us. When we see Him in His glory (without sickness, or disease, or depression, or lack), we will be transformed into the same glory. For as He is so are we in this world (1 John 4:17).

(2 Cor 3:18)
18 But we all, with unveiled face, beholding as in a mirror the GLORY OF THE LORD, are being TRANSFORMED into the SAME IMAGE from glory to glory, just as by the Spirit of the Lord.


So look to Jesus and be transformed into His image from glory to glory.
