Incidents That Confirm My Healing By God-I had no intention at all of
writing about this but something my pastor said this past Wednesday gave me
the idea. I don't remember his exact words but he said something to the
effect that we should get back and revisit the times of faith in our past.
That made me think that I should encourage myself by recalling all the times
that my belief in healing was confirmed.
it all started with my salvation. I admit that I was desperate and would
believe anything that might get me out of my hopeless situation. When he
prayed, I felt a heavy load before off my shoulders . I knew that God would
heal me and restore me to health. But I didn't know how long it would take
or all I would have to go through. If I had, I may not have been so excited!
(The very first blog I wrote was my incredible testimony if anybody wants to
read it).
Thus began my long journey towards my healing by God. Along the way, there
have been incidents that bolstered my faith. I will mention as many as I can
remember but not in any particular order. Mainly, because the order is not
clear in my mind.
There was my "heaven experience". I was told that I had to come back, I
assume to wait for my healing.
One time, when I was having a bath, I asked the Lord how He could heal this
misshapen body of mine. He reminded me of the Valley of Dry Bones . For you
who don't know, there is a story in the Bible of a prophet who had a vision
of valley of dried out bones. God turned those bones into a living,
breathing army. If God can do that, He certainly can restore me to health.
When I first started going to church, many people told me that they had
dreams of me walking and talking. The fact that I don't hear about those
dreams anymore leads me to believe that they were not from God. However, the
dreams that I think might be from God are when unsaved nurses, who probably
don't know that I am believing God for healing, have dreams that I am
talking to them. The interesting thing is that I have always been talking,
not walking, in these dreams. I have always felt, and others have said so
too, that I will talk before I walk. Though I would rather have it all at
the same time!
Through the long, frustrating years, I have had a few words about my healing, both from people and from God Himself. I can honestly say that it never even occurred to me that I might not be healed in this life.
But then I was diagnosed with cancer. A tiny seed of doubt crept in. Of course, I prayed about it but the only words I heard were "Trust Me" and "I know what I am doing". We all know that God knows what He is doing but wouldn't it be nice if He let us in on it? It hasn't been easy to keep up my faith for healing from God when I have to listen to comments like "We know what the prognosis is" or, before Christmas, apparently one of the nurses said that this might be my last Christmas.
However, there have been a couple of incidents since the cancer diagnosis that have fortified my belief in healing from God. One Sunday at church, Holy Spirit told me that the cancer was a distraction from my healing. I realized that I had become so focused on the cancer that I had pretty much forgotten that there are many other parts of my body that need healing as well. Since then, I have been trying to keep more of a balance. Concentrate on healing for the cancer but also for the rest of my body.
Another time, a person told me that my voice would be restored so I can command healing to the rest of my body.
I know that God had me write this blog as another way that He is encouraging me throughout this ordeal.
