HOW DOES FAITH FOR HEALING COMES ?

The primary purpose of Christ was to bring forgiveness and a new life. Sometimes people have certain conditions from birth or caused by accidents that don't seem to get healed. I had a cousin born with cerebral palsy. Her mother was a very strong believer (she is now with the Lord). I remember as a young boy and then young man praying many times for her healing. She was taken to all the big healing evangelists. Yet she never spoke an intelligible word and died with the disease at about twenty-six or seven. Jesus could have instantly healed her. Yet, He did not. Was that the girl's fault, the mom's fault, my fault? There are many, many things we do not understand. Yet, we are to continue to pray and believe that God hears all our prayers and will answer everyone of them.

I have never seen a more faithful mother in all my life. She carried her daughter to service after service. If church was going, Judy was there. Even when the daughter became an adult, her mother faithfully took her to every service. That mother was probably the strongest believer I have ever known. Her faithfulness to this daughter is exemplary to the rest of us for Christian service and faith.

Even though people would think Judy was never healed, I wonder. Today, she is with her Lord. She couldn't speak but when you spoke about Jesus it appeared she was going to get up out of that bed of affliction and walk. She never did. Sometimes our healing comes in this life and sometimes our healing in Jesus is much greater than a physical healing. Our service to Him is served in many ways. It is important for us to embrace all those who have never been given that physical healing and realize their greater importance to the Body.

I have never seen greater faith than the faith of this mother. Today, Judy is healed. But I wonder, was she really sick when she was here or was maybe I the sick one? Did I miss something? Did I miss God's real purpose for Judy? Sometimes the blinded eyes are opened but sometimes they are not. If someone's blinded eyes are opened, God has to do it all. We can do nothing to make that happen. That faith is a gift. God had to grant that to the individual and Paul had to have the discernment to see it. It is all still God.

Very good post, Sandra. I agree with what you have posted. I am just sitting here thinking and reflecting. I love the Lord. We will continue to lift up every prayer request presented. God hears and answers every prayer. That I know full well.

Blessings.

Father,

I pray that this need in Sandra's life will be met. She is a blessing to many. I know her country has been devastated but I pray that You provide for her and her family's needs. Father, send her help. In Jesus name.

We miss you Sandra when you are not with us. God bless you. I wish there were a way we could help. We will continue to pray.
