Worth the Wait

Have you been standing in faith for healing?

Does it seem like you’ve been waiting and waiting, and it’s beginning to feel like it’s never going to come?

Don’t stop believing . . . God has not turned His back on you!

Please read the following testimony and be encouraged . . .

This past week, one of my co-workers, Julia, came to me and excitedly announced that God had healed her! “Lori, God healed me!” “It’s all gone!” Julia didn’t hesitate to give permission for me to share her story. She wants to shout it to the world! That’s how it feels when you’ve been really sick for a long time and then, suddenly, given a brand new life–SUDDENLY HEALTHY!

Julia, I’m so happy for you beautiful lady–Praise Jesus!

Here is your story . . .

We conferred and agreed that it was just about a year ago when the Lord spoke to me that He was going to heal Julia. I had been concerned for her, because she was battling disease in her liver and pancreas and she was so  miserable. Her stomach and liver had so swollen, making this naturally-slim woman appear to look pregnant and it tore at my heart. I know how miserable that distention feels, didn’t know the torment of the rest of the situation, but could imagine . . . and so I prayed.

We were both working when the Lord announced to me that He was going to heal her, and I was so excited to carry the message. I can still picture her face when I told her. She was using a Pyxis machine, that we use throughout our day. Turning slightly to acknowledge what I said, but working very fast, I could see that her face had involuntarily changed to a plastic expression. You know the one. When someone is trying hard to show you they’re ok with what you just said, but already mentally calculating the exit to get away. Yeah that one . . . Now I was the one to freeze. Having noted the body language, it chickened me to go any further, even though the anointing was so strong–the moment to pray was right then. The moment passed and the anointing dissipated as well, my heart grieved. I had hoped to catch the moment again and looked for it, but it appeared that she was avoiding me and the look on her face when I did see her was a closed door.

I always look within to get Holy Spirit guidance before acting, but sometimes it takes me too long to do this and the moment passes. Don’t make a fool of yourself, but be ready to seize the moment before it passes by. I am trying to learn to live in that fine-line moment between presumptuous and too late!

So, in sadness, I went to the Lord and repented for not handling the situation better, asking Him to heal her in spite of my shortcomings and show her how wonderful He is. I gave it to Him, completely, expecting Him to heal her in spite of my blundering ways–because He said He would.

Now, a year later, the ‘suddenly’ has come!

A week or two before Julia’s announcement to me, the Lord spoke to me again. I was working, and Julia had just walked by. “She’s healed, you know.” and that’s all He said. This time I kept my mouth shut. It didn’t even occur to me to tell her what He had said. It’s almost like He spoke it so I would remember, but He wanted her to find out from her doctor.

With elation I rejoice with Julia! Her former sickness, even more complicated than I had realized, included Crohn’s Disease,  a diseased liver and inflamed pancreas. Imagine the pain!

Julia’s totally flat stomach and slim figure show proof that her body is normal, but it was her doctor that medically confirmed it. At a recent colonoscopy and physical, even before the doctor came to her with the news, she overheard her telling someone else, “There is no disease!” When speaking directly to Julia, she said, “Everything is in complete remission!” It’s a doctors’ term for things they can’t understand or explain . . . My Jesus calls her, HEALED!

Glory to God!!!

Thank you, Jesus!
