Healing ~ Spiritual & Physical

Spiritual & Physical Healing

Today for the first time we noticed that this balm (photos at the bottom of this note), (which I use on Ma when she gets a sore on her skin like the blister type thingy she had under her foot which I wrote about the other day), has Scripture references on the back of the box!😁 Not every box has it on the back though.) 

I tell you, prayer to our Abba Father God in the Name of Jesus and this balm combined, healed Ma's blister like sore! It fell off after about two days. I even posted the picture that time.  

(Today God brought to my mind the scales😁 that fell off Saul's eyes when Ananias by God's power healed Saul from the blindness. After that Saul was saved and became Paul.) Acts 9:18 

I have been thinking a lot lately about the fact that we pray for healing but continue to use balm or medicines, some might say it is lack of faith, but the Lord also brought to my mind what He did sometimes when He healed people!.... 

He healed a deaf man by putting His fingers into the man's ears, then He spit and touched the man's tongue (Mark 7:33)! 

He also healed a blind man by spitting on his eyes and putting His hands on him (Mark 8:23). 

And in John 9:6 Jesus spit on the ground and made some mud with the saliva and put it on the eyes of a man who was born blind and he was healed! 

The Bible also tells us as believers to pray over the sick, and anoint them with oil in the Name of our Lord Jesus. (James 5:14). 

(I remember my late grandmother on my father’s side, who asked the elders in the church to bless her medicines.) 

The point being that it is not wrong to pray in Jesus' Name while using balm or whatever meds for healing! The healing comes from the power of God! 

These are the Scriptures on the box (a prophecy about Jesus in Isaiah):  

He is despised and rejected by men, 

A Man of sorrows and acquainted with grief. 

And we hid, as it were, our faces from Him; 

He was despised, and we did not esteem Him. 

Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; 

Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 

But He was wounded for our transgressions, 

He was bruised for our iniquities; 

The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, 

And by His stripes we are healed. 

Isaiah 53:3‭-‬5 NKJV  

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 

John 3:16

Most important is our spiritual healing, our souls sick with sin. The prophet Jeremiah longed for the Balm of Gilead to heal his people (Jeremiah 8:22) and there was a literal healing balm in Gilead, but here it was symbolic of our Saviour Jesus, Healer of our souls. Jesus came with healing in His wings (Malachi 4:2). I think of the woman who suffered from vaginal bleeding and she touched the hem of Jesus’ garment and power went out from Him and she was healed!

There is a balm in Gilead

to make the wounded whole.

There is a balm in Gilead

to heal the sin sick soul.

Healing testimony

God bless everyone in the Name of Jesus.🙏👐♥️🕊️ Thank you Abba.
I have a testimony to give glory to our God for He is still the Healer, the same yesterday, today and forever.
Now I know the mockers will not believe this, saying why doesn't He heal my mother from her Alzheimer's. I don't know!🤷🏻‍♀️
But I believe this is how He is going to bring her home to Him one day, through this disease.
Through this disease God has been changing me, my heart that still had a lot of selfishness which He has been cleaning out!
My husband and I have prayed many times over Ma for healing from this disease, laid hands on her after anointing her with oil, but God has not yet healed her and we have made peace with that.
What God has been doing is, as we pray every day for strength for us, for her, for His grace over us, He has been so faithful even in the worst of times.
Truly as Jesus said to apostle Paul whom He did not heal: "My grace is sufficient for you."
Yes, His grace truly is sufficient for Ma and for us, for "the power of Christ rests upon us".

But back to what He healed!
Something small, but something that could have turned ugly, into a gaping hole in her foot, because I have seen some horrible sores on elderly people on photos. Ma also has high blood sugar level.

Unfortunately I never thought to take a 'before' photo. Never thought I would be making this post!
But a while back out of the blue, without hurting her foot, Ma developed a blister like sore under the bridge of her foot, that soft part, about a thumbnail size, maybe a tiny bit bigger, and one time I used salve on it and covered it with a plaster, but the plaster fell off after one day and I decided to rather leave it open.

I noticed it became darker and hard over time and the other day Holy Spirit led me to pray for her foot, I just out of the blue had the urge to do that and also I again (only the second time) put some of that salve on it without covering it.
Not much, just a tiny bit that I rubbed in until it was absorbed and about two days went by and yesterday we noticed it was gone! Like it wasn't there at all! We can't find a scab that maybe fell off, just nothing! (Edit to add that we found the scab.)

All you can see is what I circled in black, that's where it was!😁
Nothing more to say except that our God still heals and He is God and does as He pleases and He says in Isaiah 55:8-9...
“For My thoughts are not your thoughts, Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord . “For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways, And My thoughts than your thoughts."
Yes Lord! Thank you Jesus!👐♥️🕊️ #SoliDeoGloria #GloryToGodAlone

And as I was reading Isaiah 55, it is so beautiful, I felt led to share all of it.
God is speaking to the unbelievers, calling you to Him. Please read it. God loves you so very much. You cannot imagine how much He loves your precious soul.
Imagine Jesus hanging on the cross, His beard plucked from His face, spit at, mocked, stripped naked, whipped, beaten, bruised and bleeding, dying, all for you, because God loves you so much.
Jesus' blood was the atonement for your sins, to restore your relationship with God your Creator, your heavenly Father.
We cannot say we loved Him first because He loved the whole world first, while we were yet sinners. God bless you.♥️🕊️

😍An Invitation to Abundant Life!😍

“Ho! Everyone who thirsts, [thirsting after forgiveness of sin by the blood of Christ]
Come to the waters;
[Jesus is the living water, He alone quenches our inner thirst; also the gospel of Jesus Christ, God's word diagnosis us (Heb. 4:12), our minds are renewed by the washing of the word (Eph. 5:26), gives us life (Matt. 4:4) ]
And you who have no money, [God's salvation is FREE! You have nothing that could pay off your sin debt!]
Come, buy and eat.
Yes, come, buy wine and milk [the Gospel]
Without money and without price.
Why do you spend money for what is not bread, [false doctrine, because Jesus alone is the Bread of Life! (John 6:35)]
And your wages for what does not satisfy? [seeking happiness in worldly things which do not satisfy]

Listen carefully to Me, and eat what is good,
And let your soul delight itself in abundance.
Incline your ear, and come to Me.

Hear, and your soul shall live;
And I will make an everlasting covenant with you— The sure mercies of David.
Indeed I have given him as a witness to the people, A leader and commander for the people.
Surely you shall call a nation you do not know,
And nations who do not know you shall run to you, (Gentile nations, that's you and I!😁)
Because of the Lord your God,
[because of the love of God and His grace with which He draws us unto Him]
And the Holy One of Israel; [Christ]
For He has glorified you.”
[God the Father has glorified His Son through whom He did everything]

Seek the Lord while He may be found,
Call upon Him while He is near.
Let the wicked forsake his way,
And the unrighteous man his thoughts;
Let him return to the Lord,
And He will have mercy on him;👐♥️
And to our God, For He will abundantly pardon.👐♥️

“For My thoughts are not your thoughts,
Nor are your ways My ways,” says the Lord .
“For as the heavens are higher than the earth, So are My ways higher than your ways,
And My thoughts than your thoughts.

“For as the rain comes down,
and the snow from heaven,
And do not return there,
But water the earth,
And make it bring forth and bud,
That it may give seed to the sower
And bread to the eater,
So shall My word be that goes forth from My mouth; It shall not return to Me void,
[it is the power of God to salvation]
But it shall accomplish what I please,
[save sinners!]
And it shall prosper in the thing for which I sent it.

“For you shall go out with joy,
And be led out with peace;
[converted men will be filled with joy and peace!]
The mountains and the hills
Shall break forth into singing before you,
And all the trees of the field shall clap their hands.
Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress tree,
And instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree;
[wicked men, sinners, shall be converted to saints]
And it shall be to the Lord for a name,
For an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.”
[God's church, His people shall never be cut off but shall serve Him forever!]
Isaiah 55:1‭-‬13
