- Healing -

"Heal us and we shall be healed, help us and we shall be helped, for you are our joy. Grant full healing for all our wounds, for you, O God and King are a true and merciful physician. Blessed are you, O Lord, who heals the sick of His people Israel." Jeremiah 17:14

Summer 2022:

Several years ago my friend, Deana, and I attended a Healing Seminar at Oral Roberts University, when Oral Roberts was actively ministering at the University's Mabee Center. Deana and I shared a dorm room on campus. When we arrived at the campus, my right foot was hurting badly due to a bunion. At the first service that evening, Oral Roberts asked the attendees to be thinking about what they needed healing for. I quietly told the Lord that I just wanted my right foot to be healed. I felt a presence in my foot, but prompty forgot about it. A couple of days later, while Deana and I were resting in our dorm room, I glanced at my foot and realized it was totally healed! The bunion was gone and my foot was completely straight. I have no idea why I hadn't thought to look for the healing before !!!! Of course, then I kicked myself for not asking for both feet to be healed....but the right foot was causing most of the pain. Earlier today as I was confessing the scriptures in Charles Capps' book, “God’s Creative Power for Healing”, and just as I was confessing the scripture on page 32 that was making a demand on bones to produce perfect marrow, I felt the Holy Spirit pouring out of me to the throne room and knew I was praying for someone’s bone marrrow poblem to be healed. The Holy Spirit also prompted me to pray for God to 'help them'.
Later this morning, as I was reading Oral Roberts’ book If You Need Healing, Do These Things”, Chapter 4 (Touching Christ to be made Whole), about the woman who touched his garment and was made whole, It was clear that Jesus did not know who the person was that touched his garment, even as I did not know who was praying to God for healing when the Holy Spirit poured out of me to heal the bone marrow situation. Although I didn’t know anyone who needed that healing, the Holy Spirit did and responded to them via the Holy Spirit within me.
Returning to Oral Roberts' book: Jesus said to the woman with the issue of blood, “Woman, thy faith hath made thee whole”! It is obvious that touching His garment did not heal her (garments have no power) and Jesus did not even know to pray for her, but the Holy Spirit did. Jesus told the people that the reason he knew someone was healed was because He felt the healing power (virtue) flow out of Him. Jesus had the anointing power for her healing, and she had the faith to bring it to pass. Her faith triggered His spirit to make her whole.
This woman’s faith had been built from hearing about the mighty healings and miracles the Lord had recently done in Judea. She had spent all her money on doctors and was at the end of herself. Only God could heal her. She was desperate and was determined that if she could touch even his garment her healing would occur. Going forward in faith, she touched the hem of His garmet, the Holy Spirit heard her prayers and recognized her faith. She did and the Holy Spirit did!
I may not know whose bone marrow problem was healed this morining until I am in heaven, but I am thankful for it. God is soooo Gooood! Friends.....it is so important to read the Bible and listen to God’s ministers because as it is written.....”Faith cometh by hearing and hearing by the Word of God”! And, God hears your prayers! Proverbs 16:24; Mark 5:25-34; Luke 8:43-48; Romans 10-17

Spring 2022:

Healing comes in many forms. We appreciate the benefits of good health and the ability to do just about anything we want. However, we all experience those times when our health is threatened, severely or not. Some of us are truly experiencing life or death situations, for ourselves or loved ones. Of course, we are promised eternal life in Heaven with God (with full healing) if we have accepted Jesus Christ as our Savior, but that doesn't mean we just turn over and die. We go to our doctor, eat nutritionally, and exercise as much as possible to protect our health and emotional well-being. All of this is very good, but the living Word of God is also a medicine for us. Laughter is another medicine for us. A friend of mine once told me she had a dream in which a few of my friends were in a bus taking me to a hospital because I was sick and dying. She said that we were talking and laughing so much that when we arrived at the hospital, I was totally well! You can't beat that! God's Word is so extremely important in our lives and to our health. It tells us in Proverbs 17:22: "A merry heart doeth good like a medicine; but a broken spirit drieth the bones." My mother's family were originally from Ireland and I think it is true that they are a merry bunch, because my Irish family spends a lot of time laughing (and eating). It is so good for the soul! ______________________________________ The photo of the girl at the right represents the Proverbs 31 Virtuous Woman. The website, "A Virtuous Woman", offers daily devotions to reflect on with faith. These Proverbs 31 scriptures will impart nourishment to your soul, which will lead women to a more abundant life and healing. Praise God! ....by Christ's stripes we were healed".....1st Peter 2:24 A friend of mine shared a book I now use as a constant companion. She told me it was a great help and comfort to her as she battled cancer. I sent a copy of it to my cousin who is fighting heart problems. It was written by Charles Capps, now deceased, but I remember him when he was involved in the Full Gospel Business Men's organization. His daughter, Annette Capps has succeeded him as leader of Capps Ministries. The book is called, "God's Creative Power for Healing", which speaks in a simple manner to show how healing via the Word of God happens. It is a very small book, but it contains scriptures that have been paraphrased and simplified for better understanding, such as: "You have given me abundant life. I receive that life through Your Word and it flows to every organ of my body bringing healing and health." (John 1010; John 6:63) You might want to add this little book to your library. It is very also inexpensive. Healing Blessings, Darlene - Treasures from Heaven
