When we pray, as Jesus taught us, we must approach God, “Our Father”, like a little child. Through the redemption of Jesus on the cross, He rescued us from the paradise of intimacy with Him lost by Adam, restored our communication with God and made us co-heirs of the Kingdom of God. Therefore, we can access the Father in Jesus’ Name and ask “our” Daddy for anything we want, and He will give it to us! (John 15) Our Dad is full of promises for all of us to live abundant and healthy lives. He cares about you like he cares about me.
A thought that comes to mind: If he loves you so much that he sent his Son to die for you, how much should we love each other? He is love! He wants you to walk and talk with Him like you would with your best friend. He is a jealous God. He loves when you come to Him with all your problems and issues. After all, he is the only one who can!
Three Promises to take seriously are:
“… listen to my words; incline your ear to my words. Do not depart from your eyes; keep them in the midst of your heart… They are life to those who find them, and medicine to all their flesh”. .” Proverbs 4:18-22),
“Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God.” (Romans 10:17), and
“prosper and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” (3 John 2).
read, listen and do
Health is not only obtained by wishing for it or expecting it. The Bible is the truth. Isn’t it wonderful to know that we have someone we can trust? The First Commandment tells us, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength! I still vividly remember the day I first learned that in sixth grade. would be love someone you don’t know and can’t see! But He “read” those thoughts I had so long ago and quietly gradually brought me to the point where I not only found Him and learned about Him, but came to to know and love him intimately. And that was first inviting Jesus Christ to be the Lord of my life. He teaches that when you know Him, you also know the Father (Matt. 14:7,9).
It is important to read the Bible, meditate on it, and honor God by doing what he tells you to do. This is not an overnight quick fix. Learning the Word, listening to anointed teachings, and asking the Holy Spirit to guide and instruct you in all things is the way to come to know and love God. When words are allowed to sink deep into your heart each day, according to Proverbs 4:23, “the affairs of life” will literally flow out of you. In other words, the Word will become such an integral part of you that when you are faced with a disaster of any kind, the Holy Spirit will bring to your remembrance healing scriptures to speak into that situation. Verses related to peace, healing or whatever that situation requires will flow from you and healing will follow, according to your faith.
The wonderful thing about faith is that it grows! One day you can have a sore throat and see it miraculously healed right before your eyes! Guess what. The next time you have a major problem, or someone asks you to pray for their sore throat, you will find that your faith is there to meet the challenge!
