November 2026 Ministry Trip to Italy

​

While in a Supermercato Food Store in Italy, I approached 3 young men because I overheard them speaking English with their Italian accent. One had pain in his back, which did not leave when I ministered to him. I was quite surprised since Jesus is very patient with young people in ignorance. His friend, who is the Italian champion in Jujitsu was instantly healed in his foot when I lightly kicked his foot with mine. He was happy about that since his foot is very important in what he does.

At this, the fella who did not receive looked humbly concerned. When I saw the humility on his face, I encouraged him to believe that the pain may leave later. I asked if he was fornicating or disrespecting his parents and he said that he wasn’t. His other friends reacted to his answer as if he was being truthful to me. Young people usually get healed easily of simple pain, but in my experience, disrespecting parents is big and puts a wall up to the power of God.

Ephesians 6:2-3 says, “Honor your father and mother”—which is the first commandment with a promise— 3 “so that it may go well with you and that you may enjoy long life on the earth."

Man is spirit, soul and body.

It's the soul that needs saving.

​

Man is a three part being, spirit, soul and body. The spirit in a man is that part which animates the man, meaning that it enables the man to breathe. The word spirit is from the Greek word pneuma, which means, a current of air that is breath.
Genesis 2:7 says, “And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul”. From this verse, we can surmise that a soul is a combination of body and spirit. Every man has the same breath of life from God, which is the spirit. The soul is what makes man unique. The soul is the man’s mind, will and emotions. The soul has free will. The soul is what needs to get saved.

The first man Adam, along with his wife, Eve, disobeyed God’s command and sinned. Eve decided in her soul to disobey God’s command after being deceived by the serpent. Adam agreed with her disobedience and also sinned. Because of this sin, all of Adam and Eve’s offspring were born with a sin nature.

The sin nature defiled all of man, meaning, spirit, soul and body. The man’s spirit is still functioning to give the man’s body physical life, even though it has been defiled by the sin nature. When a soul hears the gospel of Jesus Christ and agrees with it, that soul becomes born again because the Holy Spirit comes in and cleanses the whole man from the defilement of the sin nature.

The soul has to continue to agree with the new life in Jesus Christ because the soul has free will and is able to disagree. Even though there is sin living in the flesh, the sin nature is no longer separating the soul from God because the blood of Jesus Christ will continually cleanse the Christian when sins are committed in ignorance.  The Christian soul that goes on practicing sin even though it knows better through the knowledge of the truth is separating itself from God. Jesus Christ will discipline the Christian soul that begins to practice sin, so that the soul will repent.

Hebrews 10:39 says, “But we are not of them who draw back unto perdition; but of them that believe to the saving of the soul”. This verse is teaching us that some souls stop believing and fall away to hell, while others continue to believe to the saving of the soul.

James 1:21 says, “Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls”. The “engrafted word” is the Holy Spirit teaching the soul how to live in order to please God. The word, “able” is from the Greek word, Dunamai, which means, possible. The soul has to continue to believe all the way to the end.
