Archive for 'Christian Healing'

Hi Everyone,

I’ve decided to start keeping a Christian faith healing journal. I am going to use it to chronicle my the healing journey that God is leading me on.

I was actually very leery of doing this online because I did not want it to cause people to question God’s ability to perform instantaneous healing miracles. But, I feel God leading me to do this because there are so many Christians who are so confused about the nature of faith healing. They think that if they were not instantly pain and symptom free the moment they prayed that God did not heal them.

That is not so.

So, throughout my faith healing journal, I am going to list the different areas God is working on in my personal healing journey, and how He is restoring me to health. I will include any treatments that I am experiencing and the ups and downs that go along with those as well.

I am going to try and be as honest and vulnerable as possible here, in an effort to give you a real glimpse into one Christian’s healing journey.

I pray that it give you the strength and faith to follow God along on your own journey as He leads you back to living in His divine health.

God Bless!

Ameerah

Christian faith healing is very close to my heart. As many of you know, I have struggled with my health for several years. For a long time, it was hard for me to talk about because, quite honestly, I was embarrassed.

As a Christian, when you are fighting a health battle, other Christians tend to pull their black robes from the back of their closets, dust them off, and start judging you. I would go up for prayer, confess healing scriptures and believe with all of my heart that Jesus heals.

But, when my Christian faith healing did not manifest itself instantly, I was told that I must not have enough faith to be healed or, I must be harboring unforgiveness in my heart.

I felt so ashamed of myself. I knew that it could not have been God’s fault that I was still sick, so it had to be something that I had done that made me unworthy of being healed.

I have always loved talking to people about the love of the Lord, but how could I tell someone about how good He is when I was walking around with what to me felt like the Scarlet Letter - At least that is what I thought then.

But, I started seeking God more diligently, and He had a completely different perspective than the one I was walking around with. Yes, unforgivness and lack of faith can stand in the way of us receiving healing from God. But, God showed me that, in my case, that was not what was going on. If fact, I had already received my healing the first time I had asked Him for it.

And, from that moment, God started me on a journey that would lead me to my wholeness in Him.

Most people think that, if they did not see their Christian faith healing manifest instantly, then they have not yet received it, but that is not so. A faith healing is not always an instant miracle - Sometimes your faith needs to be walked out. Let me explain…

God may speak to you and direct you as to where to go and what to do. He may even lead you to certain doctors or books that will open your eyes to things going on inside of your body that you never even realized. That is still a part of God manifesting healing in your body.

Part of the term Christian faith healing is faith. And God tells us, “For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also” (James 2:26James 2:26
English: World English Bible - WEB
26 For as the body apart from the spirit is dead, even so faith apart from works is dead.

). That means that your Christian faith healing may require more than you just waiting on God. It may require you to learn how to hear God’s voice so that you can follow Him as He leads you on your very own spiritual adventure!

You will learn to move when He says move. To stay still when He says stay still. And to do what He says do - Even when your logical mind says otherwise.

In the scripture that inspired The Hem website ( Mark 5:28-34Mark 5:28-34
English: World English Bible - WEB
28 For she said, “If I just touch his clothes, I will be made well.” ²⁹ Immediately the flow of her blood was dried up, and she felt in her body that she was healed of her affliction. ³⁰ Immediately Jesus, perceiving in himself that the power had gone out from him, turned around in the crowd, and asked, “Who touched my clothes?” ³¹ His disciples said to him, “You see the multitude pressing against you, and you say, ‘Who touched me?’” ³² He looked around to see her who had done this thing. ³³ But the woman, fearing and trembling, knowing what had been done to her, came and fell down before him, and told him all the truth. ³⁴ He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

) the woman believed within her heart that if she could touch Jesus’ robe, she would be healed. But, she did not just sit there, believing it. She turned that belief into action! That action was accounted to her as faith as Jesus told her, “Thy faith hath made thee whole!”(Mark 5:34Mark 5:34
English: World English Bible - WEB
34 He said to her, “Daughter, your faith has made you well. Go in peace, and be cured of your disease.”

Are there any actions that you think God may be leading you to take to reach out and grab hold of your healing?
