GOD AND HIS AMAZING HEALING POWER

April 30

eloved, are you in need of Divine Healing? This healing takes many forms. You may have been seriously wounded emotionally sometime in your life. You may have been hurt by someone else who was in spiritual leadership. As a result, you may be judging the Lord God because of actions by this person. This gives you a reason to avoid the Body of Christ, and to cast judgment on all Christians and leaders of the faith. This is an excuse for your bad behavior. The Lord your God did not offend you. He has never ceased to love you and call you to himself. Get rid of your anger and let the Lord heal your wounds. You may be sick physically, and never seem to get over the illness. It is important that you examine your heart to be certain that you have no lack of forgiveness toward others. Sometimes bitterness, resentment, hatred and a lack of true forgiveness will "lock in" an illness, allowing the Enemy to attack you and afflict you. Clear your heart then seek others to pray over you for your healing. Many of my children have received wonderful healing and deliverance from many afflictions by this kind of prayer. (James 5) There are some who say, "I don't believe that God heals in the world today." It is highly unlikely that that person will ever receive healing for anything. To the person who says, "I am not sure about healing in the world today, but I know that God is the Healer, and if He will, I present myself to Him to apply the precious blood of Jesus to my wounded soul, body and spirit." If you pray this way, the mercy and love of your Heavenly Father will be released, and you will receive a touch of His love for you. Remember the man in the Bible who said, "Lord, I believe, help Thou my unbelief?" (Mark 9:24) The key to the man's blessing of healing and deliverance for his child was in his honesty. He did not fake his faith or try to work it up. He just spoke honestly about his lack of faith and humbly cast himself upon the mercy of the Lord. What happened? The child was healed of the evil spirit. What will happen to you if you bow your head to your Father and declare that He is your Healer, Redeemer and Friend? You will receive blessings and healings from your God. What good news!

Prayer

Father, in Jesus' name I know that you love me and have the absolute power to heal me of all my sicknesses! I know that you want me well and whole in your presence. In the merits of the blood and cross of the Lord Jesus all things are joyfully released from heaven to your children here on the earth. I bow before you and confess my need of you! Thank you for hearing me and sending your blessings! In Jesus' name I pray, amen!
