Gods supernatural healing power
I have noticed that this topic raises all kinds of questions for many Christians. In this regard, we are split into two “camps.” However, in this blog, I would like to testify about my own experiences in this area, in particular, my own personal testimony. As I have said before, I lived forty years without God, without His blessings, without His love, and without His security. Something I now see more often as a blessing than a curse. I notice around me that many Christians are burdened by religion. And I don’t mean that in a judgmental way, but rather sad. As a result, many fail to see the true goodness of God, causing many blessings to fail. Because I came out of the world, I was as blank as a empty canvas, and fortunately, I was blessed to receive good Biblical education soon after my conversion, which immediately filled my thinking with God’s Truth in many areas. Does this make everything run easily and smoothly? Nope, not by a long shot. But when I see around me what happens to people who are stuck in religion, it seems much worse to me and I believe that it is more persistent to renew your thinking based on religion (Romans 12:1-2) than when you come from the world. Fortunately, I have also seen many people struggle to break free from the grip of the spirit of religion and renew their minds toward God’s Truth. Because of this, many people miss the blessings and promises that are ready for us in Christ Jesus. An example of this is healing. I have noticed that it is not yet self-evident for every Christian that they know that Jesus has already borne our healing for us and that by His stripes our healing is already there (Isaiah 53:5). 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 53:5 Religion tells them that healing was something from the past, from the stories of the Bible, but it is no longer for today. But God does not change (Maleachi 3:6, Hebrews 13:8), He is the same yesterday, today and forever and ever and He is not a man that would lie (Numbers 23:19, Hebrews 6:18. Which means that healing is still for the here and now! For you and for me! My testimony My own experience is great! And I testify with great love what God has done for me. In September 2021, I woke up one morning with a strange muscle ache-like pain in my right forearm. I thought, “I must have been lying on it or something”, got dressed and went to work. I work in administration at a hospital in my city, mainly computer work. When I still had pain in my arm three weeks later, I thought, “Let me go see the doctor.” At that time, I had some things going on in my private life that caused me quite a bit of stress. Once at the doctor, she asked me about my private situation. “Are you experiencing stress?” she asked me, and I told her a few things. Her conclusion about the pain in my arm was that stress had hit my body and I received a referral to the physiotherapist. She no longer allowed me to use the computer and had to make an appointment with the occupational health doctor. This resulted in the fact that I could no longer do my work for the time being and ended up on sick leave. My entire job consisted of computer work, there were some small mini tasks i could do, but I couldn’t fill the required hours with them, and so I could not do anything at work. I received treatment after treatment at te physiotherapist; my arm was taped, and I received “dry needling” treatments. This is a treatment in which muscle hardenings are relaxed (‘myofascial trigger points’) through targeted pricking with a needle within the muscle. I went to the physiotherapist twice a week, and every few weeks I had an appointment with the occupational health doctor, and this good man added two weeks, three weeks or six weeks to my sick-leave after each visit. And so months passed by. Every day I would drop by my work to maintain in contact with my colleagues or did small jobs that did not require the computer. The entire time I was on sick-leave, I delved into the Word of God to see what He says about healing. I had heard a lot about it, and I knew that God heals. He does not change (Hebrews 13:8), so healing should also be available to us at this time. A shot of Gin God is a good Father, He wants the best for His children and good health is part of that. I knew this in my head, but how did I get this into my heart? How could I see it manifesting in my own body? I was determined to find that out. “…..I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.” – John 10:10 Jesus accomplished so much for us on the cross, not just our salvation and eternal life, which of course is a gigantic gift in itself. But also to give us life in abundance (John 10:10) while we are still here on earth. Healing is part of that. Healing is part of the legacy that Jesus left us, and I was determined to own this part of the legacy as well. I dove into the Word, along with fantastic teaching from a wonderful ministry in the Netherlands; Frontrunners. After eight months, I have finally managed to understand with my heart what God’s Word says about this. I found it extremely complicated, not so much to understand it in my head as to apply it and ultimately see it manifested in my own body. As I
