I'm sorry, let me go look that up and clarify.
And yes, there IS an answer.
your faith will make you well,,,
but watch this it's Chapter 10
Davids been praying for a few weeks if i remember correctly..
now The angel of the Lord appears and tells Daniel that from the first day he'd set his heart to pray and fast (humbling yourself before God), that his words were heard (in Heaven I'm assuming)
And that this angel has come "in response to your words"
Then in v 13 he goes on to explain why he was detained.
a demon was fighting him.
So here we have man prays, God hears
God sends angels to deliver answer.
Angel is held up by spiritual warfare.
In due time, the angel is able to defeat demon
and deliver the answer to the prayer.:
Then he said to me, "Do not be afraid, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart on understanding this and on humbling yourself before your God, your words were heard, and I have come in response to your words. 13"But the prince of the kingdom of Persia was withstanding me for twenty-onedays; then behold, Michael, one of the chiefprinces, came to help me, for I had been leftthere with the kings of Persia. 14"Now I have come to give you an understanding of what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to the days yet future."…
So if Daniel is praying and fasting (that's a long fast and prayer campaign!) what if that gives (somehow) strength to the battle going on in the spiritual realm?
When I had prayed for God to heal my frozen shoulder, and then I just "waited" expectantly.. well one evening during bible study, I began to sing a song a lady was
singing on the video, "I am the God that healeth me"
Next thing you know, AS i'm worshiping, BAM I get healed.
Anyhow, I'm not sure how it all works
But I've been healed more than once
i've layed hands on others and they've been healed.
And Jesus always healed "those who were oppressed
by the Devil.
So,,, I'm sorry you're suffering. I've suffered many times
and it's no fun
And may grace and peace be multiplied unto you regardless
of which route you take or what happens concerning healing.
in Daniel 10 the angel is sent to answer prayer because in the OT people did not have Christ within them... I think our prayers are answered much more directly now
plus there IS a scripture about it all... I forget where it is, but it says 'AFTER YOU HAVE SUFFERED A LITTLE WHILE'... it seems Christians are called to suffering...
in other places it says that we are to share in Jesus' suffering...
so i don't think it's all black and white that we should get instant healing
tho i am grateful for your post because as i considered it, my back pain went down to almost nothing...
i had also considered that when God told me that i was like Joseph, and had to wait for healing of the demonic problem and FIFTEEN YEARS went by... lately i was considering that MAYBE that wasn't God that told me i had to wait...
and i've been working on 'the time of Joseph is NOW' and my healing has started!!
Faith is agreement with God, and I think you are right to agree with scripture on instant healing, but also there are other scriptures!
I am praying for 'no shadow of turning' while God heals my back, straightens it i mean... but just wanted to say thank you for putting that notion in my head, to meditate on
God Bless
