HEALED OR NOT I WILL STILL LOVE HIM

August 20

eloved, when you need physical healing you know to call upon your Father in Heaven! He loves to comfort and bring healing to His children. Sometimes, He has chosen to take His beloved children home to heaven, and He knows the best and finest hour of their necessary departure. With this divine knowledge, He may not heal His child in the natural body, but He may give the supreme healing--- by giving them a brand-new body in heaven. This is good and cannot be disputed by any of the saints of God. There are other times (as seen in the Bible) when people are not healed immediately when they pray or ask for it. Some were sick for years and lay helpless waiting for the touch of God to set them free. The timing of the Lord is always perfect. In fact, beloved, if you are not healed from a disease or even a mental torment now that you have asked or pleaded for that healing "(Cast not away therefore your confidence, which hath great recompense of reward. (Hebrews 10:35) Do not make demands on your Father, but rather allow yourself to quietly and lovingly praise and worship Him during your difficulty. One very healthy prayer for you is to say, "Father, I am not bargaining with you for my healing, or for the healing of my loved one. In fact, Father, if you never healed me it will not change the fact that I believe and confess that you are Altogether Beautiful, fair in your dealings with me and my loved ones, and I accept as fact that the good gifts of heaven are a part of my inheritance in the Lord Jesus Christ." Many of the children of God become angry, or enter a true crisis in their faith when they do not receive from God their healing in the manner asked or demanded of Him. This is childish and foolish behavior. Call upon Him, bless Him in Jesus' name, and simply present yourself for healing from the wonderful stripes of the Lord Jesus which He took upon himself for your healing and deliverance. As you tenderly call upon the Lord, He may well show you compassion and release out of His "Fountain" of love and healing the gifts for your healing and release.

Prayer

Father, I have been childish at times. I have withheld my praise and blessing toward you because you did not act in the moment that I asked. You are a loving and Sovereign, Holy God. I know that you will only do and allow that which is best for me, and I know that you have a perfect timing for all matters in the universe. I bless your name and await your response in Jesus' name, amen!
