Dear Brethren,
I wanted to share a Blessing and a Praise with you.
God is Healing my Back!
Alot of you know that my 5th vertebrae in my lower back cracked/broke when I birthed my last baby. ( it was an old back injury that gave way during the back labor type birth I had to endure, my labor took 36 hours, I thought he would never come out. That was my longest hardest birth ever, my 7th birth was my quickest and easiest. They do not necessarily get worse the more you have.
After my back broke and I had some slipped and compacted disc's from earlier back problems that were greatly aggravated. I could not walk without dragging my feet. I could not stand but just for a few min at a time and sitting was very painful, getting up from a sitting position was so painful it would make me feel sick at my stomach at times the pain was so bad I felt like I could pass out. This went on without much change for 2 1/2 years.
In December while having my prayer time, the Lord told me to start praying for healing, for the Lord to heal my back 100%. The Lord wanted me to pray believing that it was His will to heal me and that it was going to happen. So I started to pray believing.
My healing started ( at least I felt healing start in my body) back in December. I still have mild pain every now and then, but I can now do things I could not do before like stand and cook a whole meal without pain and without having to sit down. God is healing my broken back. Praise God...That's a big thing! My pain is so much less now...There are times where I do not hurt at all.
Sometimes I feel like I should not pray for something ( that is important to me, like a house or healing) because God saved my wretched soul and gave me an abundant christian life...What more could I want. I feel like I'm asking too much of the Lord when I pray for extras! But the Lord has asked me to seek him and pray about these two issues, because He wants to be mighty in my behalf and bless me. I am witnessing the Almighty power of God. He can heal, and He does heal.
We sometimes feel it must not be Gods will to heal us. That the Lord could if He wanted to. But we are still sick, because it's just not His will. In some cases that might be true, God wants us to fervently, constantly seek Him regarding our complete healing. I often just say Lord please heal me completely. ( short and sweet) other times I feel so overwhelmed and burdened over my state that I cry out to God! He likes both. He likes the constant thought and beseeching, and the crying out for help and healing. Both are acknowledging of the God who is mighty to heal. He enjoys the fellowship and the trust put in Him to do something mighty in your behalf. We must cry out to God for healing. Do not give up. When doctors can't help and we can't help ourself we need to cry out to God for healing. Cry out ''Lord help thou mine unbelief!'' I have surely done that many a time. I feel unworthy of God's blessings on my life. Extras! But God delights in giving His dear children , Extras!
I do not ever want to become week in my faith...it happened to me once. I never fell into sin, I just thought I was not very important to God...Then He broke my back and taught me how to pray and trust His love for me and His power to heal.
It reminds me of how a sheep Shepherd will break the leg of a wondering lamb, and then bind the leg then carry it on his shoulders while the lambs leg is healing, then when it is healed the lamb is put down and the lamb stays by the shepherd ( master ) never running off, but staying close and abiding close to the one who has healed his affliction....I am that lamb.
We heard a story recently from the missionary's that visited they told about how someone broke a bone and they could not get to a doctor so they went to the witch doctor and they told him you can use herbs but you cannot chant over the body of the person with the broken bone the witchdoctor went to work on the person with the herbs and he tried to chant but they stopped him, the bone was healed. The end.
First off I would not go to a witch doctor even if that was my only choice, because I have the Lord Jesus Christ as my Saviour and he created me and He can heal me. Where is our faith??? Even here in America everyone is so quick to run to the Doctor every time they have an ache or pain. Can't the Lord help in our time of need? Sometimes He chooses to use Doctors but not all the time.
God has healed many a minor health problem in our life and many a time we have witnessed the Healing power of God on big health problems. Twice the Lord used a Doctor and surgery all the other times He did the healing without any doctors help.
I have witnessed 5 major health problems in my own body healed by the mighty hand of God, bad enough for surgery, 5 come to my mind there may be more, there has been other real bad physical problems with my body that did not require surgery that I witnessed the healing power of God heal my problem without the use of a doctor. My family has seen with their own eyes. I have seen the Lord do this for others too.
There may come a day when christians have to trust in the Lord to help and heal them. Are we building our faith in God in this area now or are we freely running to the Doctor and putting our trust in the medical field instead of going to God with our health need first. The Lord might lead you to seek the help of a Doctor, or He might just delight in healing you himself.
It's easy to take a pill and ask for prayer for the Doctors to have wisdom, but it's another thing all together to put God first and ask Him what we should do, ask Him if He would delight in healing the problem for us.
I know there are many out their if not all with one problem or another and I know most go to their doctor for pills, help, surgery, etc. I am not speaking to any one person. I wrote about this to make you stop and think to ponder the fact that God is Real and He has the Power to Heal. God wants to be an intimate vibrant working part of our every breath. Do you believe that? I do.
I'm not saying that we wont have health problems, but I think these health problems should draw us close to the throne of God not our first reaction be, ''I need to go to the Doctor''.
Food for thought.
2Ch 16:12 And Asa in the thirty and ninth year of his reign was diseased in his feet, until his disease was exceeding great: yet in his disease he sought not to the LORD, but to the physicians.
The next verse reads...
2Ch 16:13 And Asa slept with his fathers, and died in the one and fortieth year of his reign.
