Your Miracle Will Happen
I recently received a miracle of healing.
It wasn't instantaneous, or what some would call "miraculous" because it took a few days. Actually, it was an ongoing affliction that had been sort of bothering me off and on for a few months.
It wasn't until it got REALLY bad that I decided to take a stand against it by standing in faith on God's word and His promises.
Matthew 10:8 NIV
Heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse those who have leprosy, drive out demons. Freely you have received, freely give.
Of course, this is dependent on us actually receiving what Jesus offers us. But all of the above has been given to us. A great ability to keep God's dearest children healthy, alive, well, and free from all oppression.
I know how hard it is to keep going when you hurt so badly or are so afraid, and the doubts keep bombarding you... BUT, we must HANG ON! God's precious Help IS there, does exist, IS His will, and it will manifest through you, soon. Stand!
I have so much peace of God today, and when I look back at how bad I felt, how the weight of everything was pressing down on me so hard, just a few weeks ago, I can tell you the truth about standing: After you've done everything you can do, STAND.
The disciples said this first, of course, but it is no less true today. God is the same and does not change or treat anyone with prejudice. What He offers may be received by all.
As soon as Jesus heard the word that was spoken, he saith unto the ruler of the synagogue, Be not afraid, only believe.
But when Jesus heard it, he answered him, saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Jesus said to not doubt, "only believe". As in, don't do anything else; just believe.
The miracle is there and will work in your life, either all at once, or little by little. But it WILL.
Mark 16:20
Then the disciples went out and preached everywhere, and the Lord worked with them and confirmed his word by the signs that accompanied it.
When you hear the Word of God and believe it by faith, you will see the results of it. What you believe will come to pass in your life. When you read "By His stripes I've been healed" and dare to speak that, stand on it, meditate on it, sing it, the truth will make a difference in your circumstances.
God Himself confirms what He has said by making it happen.
But, sometimes it's not instantaneous.
If Jesus had been expecting instant results, He might have started doubting... the tree didn't look like anything had happened, but Jesus didn't look at and wonder why His words hadn't held power to change the circumstances. He went on His way, and the next day His disciples pointed out the tree was dead: withered from the roots.
It's hard not to look at your circumstances, but if you stand on the power of the Word, you will see the results. Believe and see the evidence of God's word.
Hebrews 10:35-36 AMP
Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised.
Patience and endurance are yours for the asking... patience is one of the fruits of the spirit (NOT works -- a fruit!).
In the midst of horrible pain and doubt I have cried out to Father "Daddy, comfort me!" and the pain eases. He is there, He will never leave. Stand.
Your miracle will happen.
