Is My Healing Coming?

     So many things can be said about healing, but the reality is that only you know the depth, the pain, the hurt and the degree of sensitivity that you are experiencing. Experts can claim they know and others can relate, but unless the other person has the ability to become you, they cannot fully understand what you are dealing with. However, since the Lord created each of us in our mother's womb's, He knows us altogether, and His word says that He even knows us better than we know ourselves. That is pretty amazing if you meditate upon it for a while, because each and every area that ails and aches is fully known, understood and even completely solved by the Lord, if that is what His purpose is.    We all would love to believe that our healing is DEFINITELY going to happen, and frankly, with our faith, I would like to think that "most" of the time it does. Yet there are those instances, even speaking from my own personal experience, where the healing has been waited upon for decades and after visiting countless healing meetings, being prayed for numerous times, counseled and helped in every way possible, the fullness of the healing still has yet to arrive. With these instances, we can think of Paul, who had a thorn of affliction and was not able to be healed. We can also look at Timothy, Paul's son in the faith, whom Paul told to drink a little wine for his stomach's sake. Now why would powerful and miracle moving Paul tell his son in the faith to drink some wine if Timothy could have been instantly healed by the power of God? Paul healed many, many people who were sick, but not his own son in the faith? Perhaps there is more to healing than many teachers have cared to express, because; you know, "you got to have faith!" - "Believe and receive!" Yet what about when you are standing there full of faith believing with everything within you that God can and will instantly heal you and the one who says "believe, believe, have faith and do not doubt," suddenly cannot perform the healing which he thought he could for some reason? It happens. Interestingly enough, though, it does appear that the men and women of God of old, even just forty to fifty years back and beyond, had incredible results almost wherever, if not in every place they went to. Why that is not so much the case in this hour is ultimately in the hands of God. He surely is doing amazing things in various places throughout the Earth, and I definitely long for the days of great healing, signs, wonders and miracles to return to the Church, at large, once again.

     Nevertheless, do not give up hope for your healing, even if it has taken a very long time to come. I have kind of held softly to a little motto which might also just help you as well: "Hope, pray and believe for the best, but be prepared for the worst." We need to have a positive outlook on life in order to be happy. Yet we also need to be able to come to grips with some sobering realities, if they do in fact come, and not be entirely shocked by them, to the point of us falling apart as well. 

I hope you have been helped a little, healed a little and refreshed by this post today ~

May the Lord be Very Good to You Always,
