Healing, hands, compassion, heal the sick, raise the dead, and cast out
demons.
What God?
How? What do I do?
Pray, heal, your hands are anointed, there is power in my name.
What? Me? You want me?
Yes, you. Pray.
Okay, It’s not working God.
Don’t Relent. I am good.
Okay, I’ll pray, until your Kingdom comes.
This is a conversation I have been having with God all year and so many times my team was asked to pray for healing. I wanted
to see it so bad. I wanted to have grand stories. I wanted to do this and I
knew God was calling me to do this. And I had faith.
So I prayed and I will always choose to pray. Why? God
asks us to pray. Although I don’t understand the mystery, I do it. He has
the control.
“Act as if it all depends on you, pray as if it all depends on God�
God wants us to ACT, To PRAY, and To PRAY boldly and
confidently that HE WILL FOLLOW THROUGH. His timing is perfect. His Will. His
Kingdom Come. Not Mine.
Whether someone is healed or someone is not healed… I do the
same thing. I pray with all I have in
me.
I act as if it all depends on me (aka “if I don’t obey God
and pray, this man won’t be healed) then I quickly realize that if God wants to
heal this man He will, and He doesn’t need me to do it. I repent. I ask God to
remove anything in me that may be stopping the living and breathing Spirit from
moving through me, then I pray expecting change. I pray expecting that the
prayers of a righteous man can move mountains. I pray knowing that God gives
His children good gifts. God Redeems and God heals.
Men heal a man? Totally Impossible, but with GOD ALL THINGS ARE POSSIBLE.
“It’s
not me!!�
Sometimes I witness healing, sometimes I don’t— but no
matter the outcome, I always prayed the same— with all my heart.
This is proof that
It’s NOTHING I DO.
This week at house group, our friend Joel worded it well:
It’s God’s plan; God is doing everything, according to His will. Yet, we
play a huge part (He lets us walk into it); God is choosing to use us to reveal
Himself to the world.
We do everything.
We aren’t needed.
There is the mystery of the gospel.
