Healing.

Did you ever hear God say something, only to doubt what you heard? Have you ever heard a whisper to direct you to do something, only to reason your way out of it? I have. In the past, I have.

Did you know that God still heals the way He did in the Bible? He does. I know, because I am healed. Let me tell you the story.

I had endometriosis. If you know anything about it, or know someone who has a good (if you can call it that) case of it, you know it involves a lot of pain. So much so, that I was taking vicodin every day, multiple times a day, just to function. Many times, I found myself in tears because of the pain. Surgery was just around the corner. In my research and according to my doctor, endometrisos is a life long condition, and most women eventually opt for a hysterectomy. NOT ME!
In pain and tears, I called a friend. (see Are You Ready For The Work Of It? in the archives) I confessed that I didn't think I deserve healing. Did you hear that lie? Have you ever heard that lie? Rest assured, it is a LIE. I was reminded of something very important..one of God's names is Healer. I have come to believe that He desires all of us to be healed; not only from physical illness and infirmity, but also from emotional stuff as well. Check these out:
"He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High shall remain stable and fixed under the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of the Lord, He is my Refuge and my Fortress, my God; on Him I lean and rely and in Him I trust!" Psalm 91:1-2
"You have told me, 'I know you by name, and I look favorably on you' if it is true that you look favorably on me, let me know your ways so I may understand you more fully and continue in your favor"..."The Lord replied, 'I will personally go with you..."
Exodus 33:12b-14a
My friend prayed for me. She declared God's healing of me. She not only asked God for it, she thanked him for bestowing it upon me. She covered me with the healing Blood of Jesus, my Savior. I told her at the time, that I would take her faith on this issue. God is soo good. Let me tell you...
Vange trusts God...fully, with everything. She takes him at His word. Simple as that. If God says it, its true. I wanted to be like Vange. You know what? God is ever so faithful.
The enemy wants nothing more than for me to doubt what God has done. So, sometimes I feel these little cramps that remind me of the pain I felt before I was healed. Instead of doubting my healing, I simply restate the truth. I am healed. God healed me. Its done...and the pain goes away!!! I have been healed since I posted Are You Ready... I have not refilled my vicodin nor have I been taking some of the supplements I was taking. I don't need to. I am healed. I guess I can't say that enough, can I ...I AM HEALED!!

My Jesus is SOOO Good. He is taking this trust issue outside of just healing, and into other areas of my life. It is so exciting, and I bit scary. I never know what each day holds, or how I will hear His voice...but I hear Him...and I love it.
My prayer for you today?
Father God,
Thank you so much for your grace, and mercy, You have resucued us from the pit of despair. Because of you, we are whole. we are healed. This day, we choose to trust that what You say is true...both in the big things and in the small, in the visible and invisible.
Where we have doubt, confirm your truth. Silence the lies, in Jesus Name,
Amen.
