Patience for My Healing


Waiting for the Lord’s blessing

There are some who have prayed years for their healing without getting it, and then when told how they can appropriate their healing it came upon them in a moment. Still even though we may act upon our faith, and we receive our healing, we may not see our symptoms disappear instantly.

God does heal, and God does perform miracles. The Bible differentiates between the "gifts of healing” and "gift of miracles.” The Bible says Jesus could do no miracle in Nazareth due to the unbelief of those who lived there, but He did heal some who were sick there. Healing sometimes happens over a period of time, while a miracle maybe in an instant! Think about it, if God were to make everyone whole in an instant, we would not witness the “gifts of healing.” There would only be miracles. We mustn’t confine God to miracles only. When Jesus promised; “They shall recover,” He didn’t say; “instantly.”

Our faith sustains us while we wait for God’s process of healing for us. In (Hebrews 11:1—Moffatt’s translation) the Bible says, “Faith means that we are confident of what we hope for, convinced of what we do not see.” God doesn’t lie; therefore we shall be convinced because of God. We believe upon the very highest possible evidence, God’s Word, and consider it established! All is “settled in heaven.”

Faith never waits to see before it believes. It is the evidence of things not seen. Reading “Thus saith the Lord” settles everything, and “It is written” is all we need for faith to be established.

In the Bible, James instructed; “…count it all joy when you fall into various trials, knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience” (James 1:2, 3). It is with patience that we wait for the Lord’s blessings, all the while continuing to praise Him and thank Him for the mighty work He has already done.

Pray this prayer with me: “Lord, I praise you for the work of healing You are doing in me right now. I trust Your process, and my faith in You sustains me while I wait. I (am) healed! You said it…and I believe it!” Amen.

APPROVED

“Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a workman who does not need to be ashamed and who correctly handles the word of truth” (2 Timothy 2:15). (2 Timothy 2:14-26) instructs those whom He knows are His ; and don’t we aspire to be recognized as such, to be approved by God? He tells us to avoid godless chatter (gossip), because we will become more and more ungodly. God warns that what we say can affect others, even destroying the faith of some. Heaven forbid we should say anything to do such damage!   Approved we flee the evil desires of youth we pursue righteousness, faith, love and peace. We don’t have anything to do with foolish and stupid arguments because we know they only produce quarrels. As God’s servants we mustn’t quarrel; instead we must be kind, able to teach, and be not resentful.   Approved we are to gently instruct those who oppose us, hoping God will grant them repentance and lead them to the knowledge of His truth.

God never changes who He is

The popular cry of the people here in America today is for “change.” Yet in some parts of the world there are those who use all means, including terrorism to resist it. There are some people who are determined to leave ancient traditions, and often times, corruptible governments just as they are, and have been for hundreds of thousands of years. Many of these nations do not recognize God. God is always the same; today, tomorrow, and forever. He never changes; this knowledge about Him enables us to have total reliability in Him. His character is as follows: God is omnipotent . All power is His, and nothing is beyond His control. He enforces His perfect will. He is unstoppable by any force in heaven or on earth! God is omnipresent. He is everywhere imaginable and unimaginable all at the same time! No person or place is beyond His presence. Space and time are before Him always. He determines everything for all places and all persons. God is omniscient. All that is happening to all ...
