from Him, whether it be a specific way to pray, something to do
or stop doing, a person to reach
out to, or anything at all. Hearing
and obeying His voice should be
a constant cycle in our walk with
the Lord. Until you are healed,
you must press on and endure,
holding fast to the certainty that
He is able to heal you, He is willing to heal you, and in His perfect will and timing, He will heal
you. It may be in an instant, it
may take years, but whatever
His timing may be, do not lose
heart, strengthen yourself daily
in the Lord. One of my favorite
scriptures for such times was
written by our friend Paul:
“Therefore we do not lose heart,
but though our outer man is
decaying, yet our inner man is
being renewed day by day. For
momentary, light affliction is producing for us an eternal weight of
glory far beyond all comparison,
while we look not at the things
which are seen, but at the things
which are not seen; for the things
which are seen are temporal, but
the things which are not seen are
eternal.” (2 Corinthians 4:16-18)
When that glorious day comes
that your health is restored, what
else can you do but thank God
and give all the glory to Him!
Recognize that He brought you
safely through the “valley of
the shadow of death,” and out
the other side into abundant
life. When you receive such
abundant blessing, you must
share it with others, or its worldchanging potential will never be
reached. Tell others about the
wonderful gift Jesus has given
you, tell them about the hopeless report you received from
the doctors, what you struggled

with, how He helped you to overcome, and the victory He led
you into. Share the hope, joy,
strength, and love He has given
you. Trust me, if you share this
glorious testimony as much as
you possibly can, you will find
many people will be touched by
His power, whether they are personally going through a similar
situation themselves, or have a
friend or family member who is.
Pray for these people, intercede
on their behalf to our Lord and
Savior Jesus, being fully convinced that what He has done for
you, He is surely able to do for
them. God is our faithful Father,
He does not want us to be sick,
suffering or in pain. We have the
potential to be a victorious gen-

eration, walking in the supernatural health and healing available
to us through His power, forever
and always bringing glory to the
mighty name of Jesus.
