Jeremiah 17:14 "Heal me, O Lord, & I shall be healed, save me, & I shall be saved, for you are my praise."
This verse describes my life. For I am saved. For I am healed. And for it I praise Him.
There are so many things in this verse that are treasured up in my heart just as they were in Jeremiahs. He has no doubt in this prayer that God can heal and save. I look at his devotion and dedication to God and marvel in awe. I look at him and in so many ways I can relate. He was known as the weeping prophet who never saw change throughout His ministry and life time but humbly glorified the Father and never gave up. He fought with all he had. And like him, if i don't experience complete change in this lifetime I will go knowing I gave it everything I had. I refuse to leave this earth without a testimony of continuously seeking God and fighting for His purposes.
What I love most about the gospels, and believe is a theme throughout, is how Christ manifest and shows His power through healing. He can heal anyone and anything. The one thing He requires and rewards is faith. I realize faith is one constant thing I have been coming before Christ with for years now. Everytime I come before Him for healing He is faithful in return. Even if I had no faith He would remain faithful, for He cannot disown Himself (2 Timothy 2:13).
Sometimes we need healing physically, but I believe there needs to be healing spiritually as well. God is willing and ready to deliver. Over the past few years I've gone through deliverance to bondage and back to deliverance then bondage over and over. It's a cycle. But I'm learning to see the beauty of it all now. Wherever there is bondage there is freedom waiting just around the corner. Imagine my experience, its a beautiful and blessed one. Everytime I am in bondage I get to experience freedom. Sometimes the bondage last a few days or a few moments or minutes. But look at this and be encouraged. Everytime that bondage is revealed to me I get set free immediately. The way I look at it is that I get to appreciate being set free more than the average person because I get to experience it more often.
My friends, God is not out to harm you. That is a lie! I remember moments when I thought that to be true and was so lost that I couldn't remember my identity. But He is not your enemy. He is love and truth and joy. He wants to redeem you and restore you. More of Him and less of me/you.
I used to want to have the faith of the woman who touched Jesus's cloack. She believed that if she just touched His cloak she would be healed (Luke 8:43-48). I admire her very much, but God showed me this..."Your faith is greater then hers" and I realized that's because I have been living out of true faith (Heb.11) and believing He can heal without me seeing or touching.
I want you to step forward with me and build up that type of faith in God. He will honor your faith even if its the size of a mustard seed. Because even with that small seed of faith mountains can be moved.
If you have a need for healing, read the gospels and remember the ultimate physician. Confess your unbelief and lack of 'dying to self'. He hears you. He will answer acording to His will. "Thy kingdom come, thy will be done (Matt. 6:10).
