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.

By His Authority

God has given His authority. God’s plan for authority has been given to His people: authority in the church (1 Peter 5:1-2) which says, “shepherd the flock of God which is among you;” authority in the home (Colossians 3:18-25,) “Wives submit to your own husbands, as is fitting in the Lord, as is fitting in the Lord;” authority in your workplace (Ephesians 6:5-9) “Bondservants, be obedient to those who are your masters…; and authority in civil government (Romans    13:1-7) “Let every soul be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and the authorities that exist are appointed by God….” Authority as planned by God seems awkward and unfitting in today’s societies – not that His plan is inappropriate, certainly this is not true. It is more that people have deviated from God’s plan to what seems more suited to their personal lives for whatever reasons they justify. It is it any wonder we have dysfunctional families, government and na...

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 ...

God’s Family

He provides resources for the family “For You, Lord, are good, and ready to forgive, and abundant in mercy to all those whom call upon You” (Psalm 86:5). God’s plan for marriage and the family, in the Bible, is intended to be ideal, full of prosperity for every member. Would you say this describes your family? Maybe, maybe not, however, even if your family has missed His mark His Word deals with life realistically. Many of us experience some aspect of failure or serious disappointment with the way our family is living. Many families today are divided by divorce or living as single-parent family units. God alone can provide the needed resources and the loving care vital for the needs of these families who are dealing with life. If you are having trouble in your family turn to Jesus. He is your primary resource for forgiveness and your hope for renewal (Ephesians 1:7).   He forgives no matter if the failure is yours or it is one of those times when someone else fails yo...
