A Gift Of Health

Looking back at 2015, there are many experiences that stand out.  One unusual thing was menopause.

After meeting so many women with horrible stories of suffering from going through menopause, I was curious about what it would be like for me, because Jesus takes such good care of my health.  Well, it was very uneventful.

At first I thought maybe I was pregnant but after eight months of no symptoms, I decided it must be menopause.  I experienced no suffering, needed no medication and the only symptom was no menstruating, which was great.

Thank You, Lord Jesus, for Your gift of good health for me.  This free gift is available 24/7 anywhere for everyone through prayer!

Miracle Healing

I spent this past week at the hospital with a friend that was supposed to die.  He had sepsis, which is a deadly internal infection, and with his other health issues the doctors said that there was to way he would survive.

So we had lots of people in many different churches praying, and God answered, yes.  Instead of dying within the week, he was back home in three days because the infection in his body had disappeared.

Praise The Lord!! The healing power of Jesus Christ is only a prayer away.

Prayer Instead of Pills

When I went to teach someone this past week, he told me that studying the Bible would be impossible because the pain was so bad.  The pain killer the doctor prescribed wasn't working and the new medicine hadn't arrived yet.

This was a wonderful opportunity for prayer, so that's what we did and the pain left.  He couldn't believe that Jesus would relieve his suffering.

I explained that this is how it works for Christians.  Jesus wants to do things for us, and He wants us to do things for Him.

A close personal relationship with Jesus is the best gift we can give ourselves.  Since he loves everyone, all we have to do is ask Him.

Healed In Bed

My husband woke me up in the middle of the night hurting from head to toe but especially his legs.  I felt his forehead and he was burning up.

We thought maybe it was the flu but didn't know.  After giving him 2 aspirins, we prayed for a complete healing and went back to sleep.

The next morning he felt great, and we knew Jesus had healed him.  Aspirin only relieves symptoms and its effects would have been long gone.

Only the Physician Jesus still makes house calls.  Thank You, Jesus, for healing my husband!

Obedience Is Best

Before the storms came, I was cleaning out the dirt between the wood boards on my front porch, so there wouldn't be a small pond afterwards.  I began with a screw driver until the boards got too close together and then switched to a sharp knife.

I was tired, crabby, stressed and not open to advice from anyone.  Suddenly, the Holy Spirit told me to stop because I was going to cut myself.

Instead of stopping, I continued and proceeded to argue the point.  This didn't last very long until I cut my finger.

I felt very foolish and pathetic.  Should I go to Him for help or the doctor for stitches?

I decided that I trusted in Christ's mercy more than the medical profession, so I repented and asked for help.  I received His forgiveness, pain relief and the bleeding quit.

While I have no pain and the finger is healing, the wound is still there to remind me of how obedience is best.  No matter what we foolish humans do, Jesus' grace and mercy is only a prayer away!

Jesus Heals My Dog

Recently my dog, a 140 pound yellow lab, woke me up whining and crying in pain.  I prayed and his pain quit but he still couldn't stand up.

So I prayed until he was completely healed and soon we were back going for walks.  Sometimes our prayers go unanswered because we give up too soon (but, of course, there are other reasons).

Jesus tells us in Luke 18:1 to pray and never give up.  The healing power of Jesus is available to anyone sincerely, whole-heartedly seeking Him because He rose from the grave and still lives today.

New Year's Miracles

My new year began with miracles of healing from the Lord at my church in Grafton.  What a wonderful way to start the year!

Some healing miracles were long term chronic back pain gone, hearing loss restored, breathing shortage improved, etc.  While there was no one raised from the dead, many people were very grateful for their relief from suffering.

Our Heavenly Father wants to take care of us but we often prefer to do it our own way.  He loves us so much that He gave us free will to love or reject Him.

This unconditional love comes from a close personal relationship with Jesus.  He always wants a relationship with us and the only thing required is for us to simply ask Him in prayer.

What a wonderful way to start the new year!

A Tiny Miracle

While walking my dog early in the morning, a bumble bee fell on his back.  The bee was shaking and had one leg sticking up at an unnatural angle.

I didn't know if the bee was sick or cold but it definitely needed help, so I prayed.  And God answered quickly.

Just seconds after I finished praying for its healing, the bee flew straight up and gave me a thank you buzz.  Then it turned in a blur and quickly took off for home.

This tiny miracle was a great way to start the day.  

Healings can be just a prayer away.

Give Your Health to Jesus

It surprises me how so many Christians that I advise or meet go to secular doctors for treatment.  I ask them if the doctor is a Christian and prays for them.

The answer is either, no, or I don't know.  I recommend that they pray for protections from the side effects of their treatment, and they look puzzled.

Do they think the whole medical field is God inspired, like the Bible?  While I know that God sends some Christians to be doctors, they are usually in the mission field to save both souls and lives.

However, all Christians have the Great Physician Jesus Christ to heal any physical or mental illness for free.  His healings and directions are available 24/7 by prayer, but sometimes requires repentance from disobedience.

Supernatural Guidance

From my own experiences, I noticed that prayer requests are mostly about health and finances.  Christians wouldn't need my prayers on these issues if they received their own guidance from the Lord.

I don't ask others to pray for me about health and finances because spiritual growth is what I need with those other things just being symptoms.  

After preaching about God wanting a revival at my church, I became very sick.

I prayed for healing and if I should go to the doctor.  After no response, I then asked the Lord if I would die.

When He answered, no, that I would overcome this, I knew it was just a test to pass.  Supernatural direction and guidance is just a prayer away!

My Weekly Healings

Once again I found myself praying this week for healing.  However, these ones were not about illnesses but accidents.

I stepped off the porch right into a hole and twisted by ankle, which led to lots of prayer.  Then I reached down to pick up something and got a splinter under my nail.

While I feel very blessed by Jesus for my healings, I realized that maybe I could have avoided these problems with a bit more sleep.  When working for the Lord, I discovered that I needed to sleep when I could before the next adventure.

Pray For Miraculous Health

When thinking about which miracle to write about, I noticed that one I asked for a lot was healing.  I suspected too much sugar and not enough exercise was a problem, but I decided to pray for confirmation.

The Holy Spirit told me that human bodies are not created to exist on man-made chemicals, processed food or a sedentary lifestyle.  Oh, no, give up my caffeine, chocolate and fast food while taking up daily exercise!

Now this will be a miracle.  Thankfully, miracles like this are only a pray away!

Pray For Healing

One of the advantages to being a follower of Christ is healing.  Since our physical bodies are for learning, they often suffer and need help.

If God told me to go to the doctor or hospital I would, but instead I've prayed and been healed many times.  Some of my numerous ailments have been from a scratch to such severe pain throughout my body that I couldn't move.

Sometimes the healing is immediate, sometimes I have to do something, sometimes it takes a few hours and once in a great while I have to endure it.  The easiest solution should always be tried first because God's cures are free and do not cause more pain or any side effects.

Healing can be just a prayer away!
