Standing upon God's Word
Matthew 24:35 "Heaven and earth shall pass away, but my words shall not pass away"
Lately God has really been challenging me and teaching me to stand upon His Word. There have been so many opportunities lately to just stop trusting in His Word and in His truth.
I have always believed in healing especially because God has healed my body many times. On top of that, He has used me to heal other people that have been sick. When did I stop believing that I can't be healed instantly when I've seen it so many times in my life already?
I had let unbelief creep in and I had let a sinful mindset creep in. Believing that God doesn't always heal when the Bible clearly states that Jesus healed EVERYONE that came to Him. We never read about an account where Jesus didn't heal a person. Whenever someone asked Jesus if it was His will, He said it is His will. Finally, that's something He paid for when He laid His life down.
Isaiah 53:5 "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed"
The sinful mindset that I had allowed to take over was that I couldn't be healed because of the sin that I had in my life. Because of my sin and my works, I couldn't receive God's blessing of healing. When in fact it was never about my works, but about what Jesus did for me.
John 9:2-3 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind? Jesus answered, Neither hath this man sinned, nor his parents: but that the works of God should be made manifest in him."
None of us can pay for His blessings or healing. It's just like Heaven and Eternal life. We receive it by grace through faith. (Ephesians 2:8)
I say all of this because I haven't been feeling well for the past week and a half. At first it was an injury and then it developed into a sickness and it's still lingering around, but I feel good. Each time I pray for healing, I feel so much better, but then it starts to creep back little by little. Then I pray again and it goes away, but then starts to creep back little by little. it's extremely annoying.
God continues to tell me to stand upon His Word even when things don't seem to be "working". For we walk by faith and not by sight. (2 Corinthians 5:7) It has been an interesting couple of weeks just constantly learning and standing and commanding and speaking to the sickness. I know I will be completely better and I plan to live my life being prosperous and in good health.
3 John 2 "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth"
