Your healing is in the invisible and so how on earth are you to receive what you can’t see? Simple really, or is it? Here’s the answer. Exactly the same way you receive forgiveness which is in the invisible. How? By faith! The problem I struggle with, and many of you may well be struggling along these same lines too is my desire to be forgiven is far greater than my desire is to be healed! With me, the sense of offending God is so great that I’m desperate to be forgiven. That’s surely the work of the Holy Spirit! His name is ‘I am’. He’s ready to forgive me and you right now!
With healing, I have discovered that there are more distractions when it comes to receiving healing than receiving forgiveness! It’s more than possible that our ‘first‘ response, when we’re unwell, is to go and see our GP or turn to the medicine bottle in the bathroom cabinet whereas we should be consulting Dr Jesus first and letting Him prescribe the Gospill! He may well say go and book an appointment with your GP and take some other kind of pill too! After all He works all things together for good!
My 777 hotline to God seems to be much more of a ‘direct line’ when I ask Him to forgive me than when I talk to Him about healing! There’s no struggling to receive forgiveness because I want to be forgiven so badly! Are we desperate enough to be healed? At times I’m not! What can you and I do about it? Do Philippians 2V13! In short God gives us the “Will” and the “Do” to act according to His good purpose.
