Hurrah! The Admin speaks!
I have a question about miracles. It's a strange question but serious.
there have been people in the past that i have prayed to and layed hands upon for God to bring healing upon them. These people were afflicted with sickness and as i layed hands on them, i asked Him to heal them. Rather i begged Him to heal them.
As far as i can examine my motives and myself, i didn't doubt. in fact, i was literally waiting for Him to heal them instantly. But nothing happened. I waited and prayed and still nothing happened.
Now i got no idea what God does to heal them, i just asked Him to heal them.
Anyone have any ideas? I appreciate long posts cause i really don't have wisdom on this subject.
Hi , Great Question
First i would like to say dont be discourage and let the devil plant his seed of doubt into your faith,
The first thing you must realize is this, God does all things by his will, not by our will.
Mark 16:18
They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
Here in Mark we see God telling us this very important scripture, note how it was said they
shall recover, it doesnt mean instantly but it is saying over a time but it will happen, Faith must be the centre of the focus.
Yes God can heal instantly and does at his will, but the important factor is Faith.
Another important thing to remember is not focus on the illness or the person but to focus on God and allow God to use you and God will be able to flow thru you into others.
I have been once by the Laying of hands instantly and had to hang on by faith to keep the healing for the devil tries to take it away,
The other time when a brother was in "groaning of tongues" and i was healed , also he had no idea this was happening.
Healing can come in different ways but it is all by Gods will.
Another part of the equation would be if the other person lacks in faith that can stop the flow of God working,( that has stop me many times my faith alone in recieving healing ). For me i placed all faith in these 2 things, By his stripes we are allready healed, & We have power over the devil and dont have to take it. Thats what has unblocked the channel of healing for me.
We see Jesus healing by laying of hands and the prophets instantly and also by word of mouth and the
key is FAITH. the ppl that were healed all believed it would happened and also the the woman who touched Jesus robe who had a blood issue, so by these examples its all down to us.
There are many more scriptures in healing and i wish i had more time to get them, and if you need or want more please ask.
So i hope you can now see that it is a step of faith to recieve and to ask God to heal, God can and will work if we will let him.
Smith Wiggleworth is a great man of healing and has many books on healing which i have read, So i recommend that you take a look at books.
I do i hope i have encourage you
God Bless.
