For many years I wondered if God was the one who was making me sick. Friends believed so many different things:
God can heal you, IF He wants to!
You’re not doing enough to stay close to God. Otherwise you would be healed.
God isn’t interested in our lives; He is too busy.
But the thing that bothered me in all these was that they didn’t fit what I was reading in my Bible. I read that Jesus cared about people who came to Him for healing. He never turned anyone away if they came for healing; He simply…HEALED them.
So if I brought up these ideas, I was told that we are no longer in Bible times and things are different now.
That didn’t sit right with me. So when I found out about someone else who had a healing ministry and they were coming to town, I went. Was I ever healed that way? No.
Luke 11:5-10 in the Passion Translation says, “Imagine what would happen if you were to go to one of your friends in the middle of the night and pound on his door and shout, ‘Please! Do you have some food you can spare? A friend just arrived at my house unexpectedly and I have nothing to serve him.’ But your friend says, ‘Why are you bothering me? The door’s locked and my family and I are all in bed. Do you expect me to get up and give you our food?’ But listen—because of your shameless impudence, even though it’s the middle of the night, your friend will get up out of his bed and give you all that you need. So it is with your prayers. Ask and you’ll receive. Seek and you’ll discover. Knock on heaven’s door, and it will one day open for you. Every persistent person will get what he asks for. Every persistent seeker will discover what he needs. And everyone who knocks persistently will one day find an open door.”
So is there a key in all this?
God is looking for people who want a relationship with Him. If we persist in seeking Him, and don’t get discouraged in the process, will this bring about our healing?
