This word means so many things. It’s a wonderful word. It’s a happy word because whether your healing is physical or spiritual, it’s never the less a healing from above. From our Lord Jesus Christ whose will is for no man to lose himself but to live eternally. I have received both of the above physical and spiritual healings, of which I am eternally grateful.
For me, it began when I surrendered all and opened my heart in this small town in a small house having a prayer meeting that I responded and forgave and I was released from my bondage and made free.
I like to call that – Mercy and forgiveness in action. You begin to be at Peace with yourself and others.
In my life forgiveness plays a very important part in my healing. I say, “Forgive, as though your life depends on it because it does.” God calls us to forgive one another, encourage one another.
But what I realize was that when I forgave, my healing took place. Thanks to God and to God be the glory, that all the members of our body are indeed connected as one. When we don’t forgive we carry baggage. This weights our body down, causing illness and disease. Many things cause this - anger, depression, bitterness, pride, unforgiveness, etc…
Some healings take longer than others depending on the type of healing taking place. Some are a process of forgiving yourself and learning and growing in Christ, to forgive our enemies or those who have hurt us deeply.
Jesus asked “What reward is it in loving those that love you?” But to love those who have injured you, who wall against you? I recall Paul asking the Christ to take dagger from his side more than once. But Christ did not answer every time. Sometimes there was no answer.
Some times Christ allows this very thing to draw us near to Him and teach us and help us grow.
Also in healing, you have your bad days and good. But you will begin to have more good days your healing is taking over.
I reflect on the healing that took place for out friends Manuel the young man who lost his battle with his liver, yet he received a greater healing from the soul. He gave his life to Christ. He repented and realized where real life and healing begins, in the soul. He died in Victory, to see Christ his personal savior Lord and King.
Christians Woman’s Job Corps has been the essence of all this healing for me. I so thank God for all his connection pulling all this together for me. Because here I have grown and learned.
