Thoughts on Healing ...

In my 2^nd installment on Healing, I am pulling info from Paul Balius’ site, ‘He Has You’. I encourage you to visit Paul’s blog (link at the bottom) when you get the chance.

There is no doubt that we can grow tired of praying for the same thing over and over, but as I pointed out in the 1^stwriting, scripture says He WILL heal you, but He never says WHEN. We pray for healing, not in the form of a command, but a request, expecting He will do it, but knowing without a shadow of a doubt that He is able to. We have the easy part in that we simply must ask for that which we wish to manifest before us or within us. We pray and leave the rest to God. One of two outcomes will take place; 1) our faith will be lifted or 2) our faith will be tested. Make no mistake about it, God never fails even when He doesn’t happen to answer with an instantaneous healing. Now instantaneous means “without any perceptible delay”. So it should be pretty obvious if it is or isn’t going to happen right away.

                  Now there are a few things we know about God. He’s not deaf, He never makes a mistake, and He will never fail to do for us that which will be for our greatest benefit and His greatest glory. God wishes to see in us a faith that believes in Him to do whatever we need done and trusts Him with His decisions, whenever they happen to materialize. “We can either worry about it or trust God with it”. ⁽¹⁾

 

“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” ^{(Psalm 56:3-4 NASB)}

 

Pray in faith for the best possible outcome and go about your business believing that the wheels in heaven have begun to turn on your behalf. And don’t ever become tired of laying the same request before God each time you pray. “Don’t be weary in prayer; keep at it; watch for God’s answers and remember to be thankful when they come.” ^{(Colossians 4:2 TLB)}

“When I am afraid, I will put my trust in You. In God, whose word I praise, in God I have put my trust; I shall not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” ^{(Psalm 56:3-4 NASB)}.  

I will write about persistence in prayer next time. Until then, walk with the King today and be a blessing.

In His name & for His glory,
