Recently, a local pastor and church had a healing service on a Sunday morning. Upon reading the announcement in Facebook, I commented that I wished I could be there, but I would be in my own church at that time. The pastor let me know they would pray for me … and let me know the following day that they prayed for me by name! Last Sunday a visiting minister at The Way also prayed for me for healing.
I believe in Divine Healing. I know it happens because it happened in my family even before I surrendered my life to Christ. I heard doctors say, “we do not understand why there have been no more kidney infections,” when nothing changed except God’s intervention.
I know God can heal me. I am trusting that He will heal me. Isaiah 53:5 contains the promise of our healing in that marvelous chapter of the Suffering Messiah.
“But He was pierced because of our transgressions, crushed because of our iniquities; punishment for our peace was on Him, and we are healed by His wounds.” [HCSB]
I know God can use medicine and science to heal, and I know that He can heal supernaturally. I am claiming my physical healing at His Hand. I know that my healing may come in this life, and I know that if it does not, my healing is a certainty in the next life in His Presence.
My soul and spirit have been made alive by my Savior and LORD. Death has no hold on me. When I exit this life, by whatever means, I simply am escorted into the complete eternal life I now realize in part. I will then see not only my soul and spirit eternally alive, but I will be outfitted with a new body that will never experience pain or aging or death.
For now, I am claiming my physical healing each day. I am trusting Almighty God to complete His perfect plan in me. Amen!
