Some obstacles to healing 2
This is the concluding part of the article on – Some obstacles to healing. The fourth obstacle to healing is to rely on the arm of flesh- that is depending on certain men or women. Some people will demand that a particular pastor or man of God prays for them. Doing this means that they are depending on man to heal instead of God. One has to look up to God as the healer because God works through vessels to bring about healing. The healing anointing of God is not limited. For instance, if you are in a particular church ministry and the head pastor delegates other pastors to pray for the sick, don’t get upset because the head pastor is not going to lay hands on you or pray for you. The healing anointing can flow through all the delegated pastors.
Some people do not get healed because they do not set specific time for the manifestation of their healing. Having the mindset of ‘I will receive my healing sometime to come’ will delay your healing. Expecting your healing in the future will delay it. You have to expect your healing NOW because it is available NOW. ‘What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them’ ( Mark 11:24). 1 Peter 2:24, it states ‘…by whose stripes ye were healed’. Your healing is already available! The manifestation of your healing may not be seen now but keeping your faith active and unwavering will manifest the healing.
Still on some obstacles to healing, if you don’t desire healing, you will not receive it. You have to desire something specific when you pray for your healing. Leaving things open will not yield any fruitful results. From the scripture above, ‘what things soever ye desire….” Specific desires are important for the manifestation of the Holy Spirit. This can be likened to a contract between two people. In any contract, the parties have specific roles to play for the success of the contract. As children of God, we have a role to play and our Father also has a role to play (which He has already fulfilled).
Some people do not receive their healing because they are lukewarm. Anything lukewarm is on the ‘fringes’ and is not certain of taking a particular role or side. Being on the fringes will not bring the healing we need. The best is to always maintain your ‘closeness’ to God so that you can hear Him speak to you anytime or receive your healing at your desired time. Our Father is always speaking to us but how ready are we always to hear what He says?
These are but a few of some obstacles to healing. God has already made healing available to us. We are responsible for receiving healing and living in it. God bless you.
