Healings

In 2006 the book "70 years of Miracles" impressed upon me the importance of going to God first and honoring God by having Him provide for all our needs... no plan 'B'.  We have seen many miracles and healings since I have strived to put this into practice.  Honoring God by going to Him first with everything!  It is a struggle to remember to do this all the time... in Canada healthcare is free and readily accessible, food is plentiful, we want for very little.  We live very comfortably.  It is easy to go to doctor or the drug store as our first instinct rather than taking it to God first and standing on what His word says instead.  I often think about Richard Harvey and his book still.

I am thankful for the many miracles that have happened in my life and the shortened list of daily struggles.  I am thankful that everyday I am getting stronger, my immune system is getting stronger, my lungs are getting stronger, I have more energy and I am getting better at standing on God's promises for me without fear or question.

Isaiah 53:5
But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon Him; and with His stripes we are healed.

1 Peter 2:24
Who His own self bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live to righteousness: by whose stripes you were healed."

These are the scriptures that I stand on in faith for healing just as strongly as I accept that Jesus died for our salvation.  His stripes paid for our physical healing.

Some of the healings and miracles that have happened 2004 till Present (many of these symptoms may show up from time to time but I am getting better at rebuking them and standing on the truth right away so the symptoms must leave!)

-Depression.... so thankful that the ugly monster of depression is no longer a part of my daily life!

-Fibromyalgia... Used to effect my body but hasn't for years already!

-Joint pain in my knees, feet, hands, shoulders... Not an issue anymore... Praise God!

-PMS... Used to be useless for days on end... Actually used to affect my life for 2-3 weeks every month... Now if I am in the word of God and not neglecting my spirit I can go a month without even noticing it.

-Chronic Infections... used to be an issue on a regular basis... I haven't had pneumonia in several years and fever spikes are becoming less and less frequent.

-Rusty Nails... Stepped on a rusty nail & claimed healing... it bled out for a couple of days... didn't go in for tetanus shot... I read that the reason puncture wounds are high risk are because they don't usually bleed out well.

-Bladder infections... for a while I was getting them quite frequently.  I have become good at claiming healing right away and the symptoms don't often appear at all anymore.

-Warts... have had warts fall off or disappear.

-Rashes... have had rashes that were there for over a year and a half disappear after praying about it.

-Laryngitis... After my airway was narrowed for a prolonged period of time in 2005 my airway was healed July 10th after praying about it.  This is another one that disappears easily with rebuking it at first sign of any symptoms.

-Sore Back... don't even remember what that was like... Know it was a struggle though.

-Low blood pressure... Don't feel faint anymore.

I don't understand it all... I just know that by faith it works.  When we have faith and do not doubt and do not have fear then the word is able to work and healing happens as a result.  I guess that is why God says do not fear or be afraid so often in His word... He knows that it hinders our faith and ability to receive all that he has promised us.  Fear is like a red flag telling us that that is one thing that we have not trusted God with yet.  I still have some red flags to conquer in my life but it doesn't look so much like a mine field anymore :-)

I am NOT ok with not being healed because my body must fully glorify God!
