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 none less

Day before yesterday, I cooked up a pot of "killer" chili. Yeah, I know it's not winter and chili is better in the winter. I like chili all-year long. Well, my chili fixin' was killer alright, it tore our stomachs up something terrible. Yesterday, I was miserable all day. I was so wanting my day to be over - I wanted a new day without stomach problems. Every day, God allows us a "do-over" and we get a new chance at living. Today, thankfully, I am feeling over my chili malady and I (am) starting over. I have a new opportunity today to seek more of Jesus. First, I will pray for my family and friends that they see more of Jesus and that their lives and their today is better than yesterday. And then, I am praying our nation stops this political division and hatred that is sickening our people. God help us to love you more and realize without You we are lost. You are our new day and we praise You for it.

Sanctity Given

A person can’t accomplish sanctification by themselves no matter how much he or she studies the Word or desires this quality. It is not even something God would produce in you as something you would contemplate yourself. Instead it is the Holy Spirit, His Spirit of holiness alone, who can or will communicate His holiness and continue to renew the same in you. By our complete faith we become partakers of His holiness. It is Jesus who sanctifies us for God.  (1 Corinthians 1:30) says, “But of Him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God – and righteousness and sanctification and redemption – that, as it is written, 'He who glories, let him glory in the Lord.'” We seek to surrender ourselves to God by faith, so He may enable us to live life moment by moment. By His Spirit, we are to believe the Lord will, lead us into, and keep us in, this life of holiness and consecration to God’s service. We choose to live in obedience of faith, listening to God’s voice – the
