Daily Dose of God's Word
At Barbara's Entourage
Whose Report Do You Believe?
Our Thoughts:
When the Doctor hands you a report on your health, what is the first thing you do? Do you take it as the truth,
or do you ask God to reveal to you what you need to believe? I remember when my Dad was operated on and the doctor told us he had cancer and six months would be a long life.
I didn't say, Oh, Lord, I wish he was going to live longer. I said, "NO, I won't receive that. I believe in miracles." The doctors meant well, but, they weren't connected to
the Word in their decision. It's God's decision whether we live or die. My Dad lived another thirteen years, and free of cancer!
If you have gotten a bad report, don't take that as the 'gospel'. Get in the Word; look up every scripture related to healing, and meditate on those. Put your
faith solely in the Lord. Our God isn't a God of sickness, but the Healer. He is God OVER cancer and any other thing that can overtake our body. The way I look at things is this:
He made us, He knows our makeup, and surely there is nothing that He can't heal! But, we have to believe that He CAN and WIll heal us. We can't be wishy-washy, believing one minute
and doubting the next. James l:8 says, 'a double-minded man is unstable in his ways'. We either believe God is the healer, or we don't. We either completely give our bodies to the
Lord, or we don't. I believe that God wants to heal all our sicknesses, but He is bound by what we want or think. He can't heal a body that's not completely given over to Him. That's like
the doctor trying to prescribe for someone who isn't his patient. He just can't get the dose correct.
God's Thoughts:
Proverbs 15:30 The light of the eyes rejoiceth the heart: and a good report maketh the bones fat.
Isaiah 53:1 Who hath believed our report? and to whom is the arm of the LORD revealed?
Our Cup:
Heavenly Father, many have a hard time in giving over their whole body to you. Help them get to the place that their faith is
completely in you and they know, without a doubt, that you can and will and WANT to heal them. Keep them in the Word daily, getting the Mind of Christ, and placing their whole faith in you. We give you praise! In Jesus name, I pray. Amen.
