Friday Faith Confession *100th post!!*

It is so funny how God works. My mom is visiting my kids this week. I was here this morning working on the Friday Faith Confession, and God had impressed upon my heart to write about healing. I don’t know many scriptures about healing, so I was looking up healing on Biblegateway and it was taking me forever.

My mom just walked in to chit-chat, so I took a break. She came to tell me that last night, as she tucked my daughter in bed, my daughter said to her, “Jesus is a healer.” Why is this significant – because first, it confirmed that God was compelling me to write about healing. The second reason why it is significant: my mom really isn’t that big on Jesus. She laughed about what my daughter said, but deep down inside, I know that God is doing what only He can do, and He is calling out to my mom. Like the Good Book says, “From the lips of children and infants You have ordained praise.” (Psalm 8:2 NIV)

Today is a day of healing. Whatever ails you, today is the day to declare your healing in the name of Jesus. Be restored and made whole by the power of the Lord. He is more than enough to heal you. Hearken unto His voice today and declare the good works of the Lord. He has made His wonderful works to be remembered. Do you remember the wonderful things God has done for you? Or did you just praise when you got what you wanted, and you haven’t thought about it since!

Think about this: what if someone begged you for some money and you gave it to him (or her). You hadn’t heard from him since that time, so you decide to call to ask him how he is doing. He tells you that he doesn’t have time to talk. But, it didn’t hurt your feelings. And wouldn’t you know…they call YOU two weeks later asking for more money.

That is how we treat the Lord sometimes – we spend all our time begging, and spend no time on remembering His good works or fellowship – getting to know Him, interacting with Him through prayer, praise, and worship.

Well, when the Lord heals you today, don’t just say thank you when you get what you want and never think about it again. Be a witness – tell the world what He did. Magnify the Lord with your testimony.

Lord, You have seen my ways, and still You healed me.
You have healed and I am healed.
You sent Your word to heal me.
I will believe in Your word about my healing.
I will live in Your truth.
And the day will come when all will plainly see the work of Your hand.
And I will remember You and Your good work.
