The Power of God

I very strongly believe in the healing power of God. I believe that by His stripes we are healed. I believe that if we have faith the size of a mustard seed we can speak to our mountain and tell it to move from here to there it must move even if that mountain is our sickness. Jesus came to set the captives free and those captives are those who are suffering with any type of illness or sickness.

I have no idea why some get healed while others may suffer for years or why even others are sick until they die because I am not God. God makes that decision not me. What I do know is that when we call upon the name of Jesus He is there with us. Ask any Spirit filled Christian who is, let’s say, suffering with cancer, how can you be so positive and yet be so sick? They will reply it is because the Spirit of God is with them and either in this life or in heaven they know they will be healed. It is a fact and God will do what He had intended all along in spite of what we think it should look like.

Healing is not all about the healing; healing is all about the one who heals. Whether we get healed here on earth or in heaven it is all about Jesus Christ. We need to have that personal relationship with Him and He will take it from there. Our life does not depend upon being healed; our life depends upon knowing Jesus as our Savior and our Deliverer. Asking Him to forgive us and to come into our lives and take control, not about oh God touch me and then I will go on about my business. Surrender to Him today and allow Him to work in your life and I can guarantee you will see a difference whether you get healed or not.

For the past thirty years I have struggled with severe back pain. I have prayed and asked God to heal me yet the pain continues. Arthritis has even set in and on some days that pain increases. But, I have not given up. I pray every day for healing and I know that I know one day I will be healed. You must continue to press in and not give up. You must continue to seek out what God has for you and not what you want for yourself because it is not about you it is about God. I look at it this way, “As He is in heaven, and so are we on this earth”! Jesus does not have a bad back and so neither do I, Jesus does not have cancer and therefore neither do I. However Jesus is in heaven then we are the same way here on earth.

Jesus came that we would have life and have it to the fullest. Sometimes pain or sickness may get in the way but that does not change who Christ is or what He can do. My God heals and my God saves and that is good enough for me. I can withstand a little bit of pain as long as I have Jesus in my life. I wish He would take this pain away and I have no idea why He hasn’t but I am not going to give in or give up. I am going to press into Him and know that I am a child of the living God and that my Father will take care of me regardless of the situation in my life.

Today if you do not know Christ as your personal Savior, there is no time like the present. Jesus is waiting for you to call upon Him. He will not force Himself upon you because it is your decision so I pray you make the right one. There came a day in my life I had to do the very same thing and I praise God that I chose Jesus because everything is brighter and different now. There is no drugs, no alcohol, just the love of Jesus and a Father that loves me more than I could ever possibly understand. You can have the very same thing and He made if very simple. Just call out, Jesus, come into my life right now. I surrender to you and ask you to touch me and rescue me. I know that you came to save me and I will follow you all the days of my life. Forgive me and take my hand and lead me. In the Name of Jesus, Amen! If you prayed that simple prayer then you are saved and God will begin to work in your life. God will touch you, He will heal you, and He will set you free. Welcome to the family and I look forward to meeting you one day in Heaven. God bless you.
