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.

Our Walk With God

“Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered, when you run, you will not stumble” (Proverbs 4:10-12). Our lives are built upon our first step, and   then proceed step after step after step thereafter. As infants we learn to crawl, then stand and eventually to walk to the waiting hands of our proud fathers and mothers. Our walking skills can develop into running skills; some of us will go on to run races, some will even run long distance marathons, but it all begins first with our desire to walk. The Lord tells us to listen to what He says to us through His Holy Spirit and the years of our lives will be many; as we go through life, our steps will not be hampered; when we hurry through our impossible daily schedules and race through our lives, we will not stumble.   All successful runners have a professional trainer, our trainer is ...

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...

GLORIOUS!

"Shout with joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of His name; make His praise glorious" (Psalm 66:1,2)! Hallelujah! Praise to our King! See how glorious He is! He is our awesome God! He is our Healer, our Counselor, our Morning Star, our heavenly Father, our Savior and our Redeemer. He is our Lamb of God, He is our Maker, our Sacrifice, our Bridegroom, our Living Water, our Helper, He is our Blessing, our Bread of Life, our Sweet, Sweet Song, He is Abba Father...let us make His praise glorious! He is Yahweh-Jehovah, Jehovah-Elohim, Jehovah-Elyon, El Shaddai, Jehovah-Jireh, He is Jehovah-Tsidqenu, Jehovah- Shamah, and He is Jehovah-Tsebaoth...let us make His praise glorious! What's in a name, and why would we sing the glory of God's name(s)? Often a name provides an important clue to the nature of a person. This is definitely true of God. The Bible refers to God by many different names, each one referring to some aspect of God's character or His relation...
