HEALING CAN COME IN
DIFFERENT WAYS
October 2014. My knee
started hurting, then my thigh, then my back; I forgot to just ask for wisdom
from the Lord on what it was and what to do to make it go away. I took ibuprophen
and was handling it myself. The pain subsided somewhat, but it wasn’t going
away. I persevered on my own for about two weeks and it was wearing me down. I
finally woke up spiritually, took it to the Lord and asked my roommate, Jane, to
pray for me. I went off to work like every other day. Only this day I got the
revelation of what was causing my pain and the revelation of how to get rid of
it.
As I sat down on the floor
to patch and touch up the baseboard and then crawled along to the next spot, I
got the news flash – I was sitting in a scrunched down position with both legs
tucked under me to the side and I was bent over. I put my legs on the other
side and the same exact pinch happened on the other side and I realized I’d
been sitting and crawling in this position for about two weeks, 7 hours a day.
No wonder I was having pinches and pain. I made a conscious effort to change
how I was positioning myself and the pain dissipated and is nearly gone.
Just because you don’t
have an instant miracle of healing, doesn’t mean God’s not healing you. He’s
given us many ways to get pain free and to get healed up.
God designed our bodies to
heal themselves. If we take care of our bodies, natural healing comes faster.
Also a key I’ve learned is
that certain sicknesses and diseases and demons too, need specific environments
to thrive in. Changing our bodily environment on the inside can cause the
disease to die or the destructive evil spirit to leave.
There’s much to learn
about healing but whenever we get sick there is always one thing we should do
first and that’s take it to the Lord in prayer. Ask Him: “Should I go to the
doctor? Ask someone to pray for me? Drink more water and take a couple aspirin?
What should I do, Lord?”
We ask for His wisdom on
what to do to get healed. God wants us to be healthy, so He’s glad to give us
His wisdom.
James 3:17 says: “The wisdom that is from above is first
pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be entreated, full of mercy and good
fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.” And James 4:2 says: “Ye
have not, because ye ask not.” So we need to ask.
If we’re unsure about really hearing from the Lord, or unsure of
what we think He answered, then we can ask a trusted Christian friend to
corroborate or at least pray.
God says of himself: “I am the Lord that healeth thee” (Ex 15:27).
Whether it be through a doctor, a prescription, a miracle, a nutrition plan or just
changing your position on the floor, a healthy body and a clear thinking mind are
important in God’s good plan for our lives. “For God hath not given us the
spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind” (2 Tim. 1:7).
