WISDOM AND HEALING
My job was to do touchups in the penthouse rooms at one
of the local hotels. 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 ibuprofen 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 Lord’s news flash,
and I understood. 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 then was totally gone.
Just because you don’t have an instant miracle of healing
doesn’t mean the Lord is not healing you. He’s given us many ways to get
pain-free and healed.
God designed our bodies to heal themselves. If we take
care of our bodies, natural healing comes faster.
Also, I’ve learned that certain sicknesses, diseases, and
demons require specific environments to thrive in, so changing our body’s
environment on the inside with food, frequencies, acidity, thought patterns,
and other things like that, 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: take it to the Lord in
prayer. Ask Him, “Do I need to have someone pray for me? Should I go to the
doctor? Lord, what’s going on, and what should I do?”
We ask for His wisdom on what to do to get healed. 3 John
1:2 tells us God’s will concerning our health: “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” The Lord wants us to be healthy, so He’s glad to
give us His wisdom on how to get there and stay there, too.
James 3:17 says: “The wisdom that is from above is first
pure, then peaceable, gentle, and easy to be intreated, 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 hearing from the Lord or 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 miracle, a doctor, a
prescription, a dietary plan, the words you speak, or just changing your
position on the floor like I had to do, a healthy body and a sound mind are
important in our Lord’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.
(2Tim. 1:7). Claim it, believe it, and live it.
