God says, ‘It is My idea to pray.
I recently heard a lovely testimony of healing where two ladies who, independently of each other, had attended a Healing Rooms in the North of England. Each of them received prayer for different, difficult life situations, each coming for prayer on and off for some time. A little while ago the Healing Rooms member, who was the Director of the Healing Rooms and who had often prayed for these ladies, just happened to meet up with each one of them in the streets. She hadn’t seen either of them for a long time. She said she hardly recognised them, they were so different. Both looking so well, both doing well, and both now supporting different charities themselves. Both thanked her for the prayer ministry they had received at the Healing Rooms. One even said to her, ‘Everything you prayed into me is still there, inside me. And I draw on it now to give to others.’ How amazing is that?
It’s God’s idea we should pray!!
GIVING AWAY THE PRESENCE OF GOD
When we pray we give Holy Spirit the opportunity to do what only He can do – MIRACLES! There are many miracles of healing recorded on the HREW webpage! It’s important to remember the testimonies!
To conclude I want to include something Bill Johnson from Bethel Church says concerning praying for the sick – which I know we too can say:
‘We don’t see everyone we pray for healed. But there are many more healed than would be had we not!’ To that I say ‘Amen!’
And it’s God’s idea we should pray!
The other day God whispered, so quietly, these five words to a friend of mine.
“What are you waiting for?”
God is saying to us, “What are you waiting for?”
When Moses stood in front of the Red Sea with the Egyptian army behind him he called out to God and God replied:
“Why are you crying our to me? Stretch out your rod!’
In other words, ‘What are you waiting for?’
(Red Seas part when we move forward!)
So what are we waiting for?
We have been given authority and permission to pray for healing! Let’s continue to do it with confidence and authority knowing that:
‘Prayer is God’s idea!!!’
Finally let’s declare together:
‘We were designed for the impossible.
It is our inheritance to see the impossibilities of life bend their knees to the name of Jesus through our lips!
We will continue to give and serve, BUT we will also believe and press in and PRAY until the power of God is seen and manifested in our lives, more and more and more!
These things we long for that God may receive all the glory!’
