There are several time-honored Bible ways of receiving your healing. One method is by the laying on of hands. Jesus said all believers "will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover" (Mark 16:18 nkjv). That verse doesn’t say anything about your needing a special calling. Every born again believer is to have a ministry of healing. Labels: Enjection
Healing can also come through medical treatment. Jesus put His stamp of approval on medical science when He said, "Those who are well have no need of a physician, but those who are sick" (Matthew 9:12 nkjv). God approved of prayer for healing in James 5:15 nkjv which says, The prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up.
The concept that the streams of medical science and prayer work together to bring healing came through my father’s ministry many years ago. In the Bible the apostle Paul laid hands on the sick and they were healed; Luke, the physician, treated them medically and they were cured.
I don’t limit God in the way He heals. When I get a headache, all I want to do is get well. So I pray and take a couple of pain relievers. I don’t really care which one works. I don’t put my faith in the prayer, nor do I put my faith in the medicine. I put my faith in God, who is the Source of both. No matter which one works, I give the glory for the healing to Him.
As you seek the healing you need, focus on and give the glory to God, the Source of each and every healing miracle!
A young man writing to his father about an upsetting personal problem said, “Dad, yesterday I put this whole matter into the Lord’s hands and asked Him to help me. At times like this I often think of when I was a little boy and you and I would go fishing. Remember how I would get my fishing line all tangled up? Finally I would hand the whole tangled mess over to you, and you would smooth it out. I’m trying to learn to do that with the Lord now-turn my problems over to Him and not pull at the line too much before I give it to Him.”
Impossibilities!
Difficulties!
How tangled some of our problems become!
And it seems as if the knots of difficulty become tighter as we try to struggle through them in our own strength. Maybe you are wrestling with a problem that looks too complicated for it to ever work out. Do what this young man did. Turn the whole thing over to your loving heavenly Father. Psalm 115:9 TLB says, Trust the Lord! He is your helper. If you trust the problem to Him, He can untangle the knotty impossibility that is troubling you so.
Now commit the situation to God with this prayer.
Father, this problem is too much for me. I hand it over to You right now, knowing that with You all things are possible...
