Develop In Order To Recover

Last night was our monthly worship night, Engage the Spirit, at our church. Usually this is the one time a month when I get on the stage and sing, but this time physical things kept me from doing so. I knew that I was supposed to go anyhow and just soak and receive what God had for me. So I went. After the first couple of songs our Pastor got up and said (and I summarize), " During this next set of songs we are going to pray for healing, for the sick" He went onto say a few more things and then he said first he wanted to pray for me specifically. I was so excited!!!

Mark 16:17 +18, " And these signs shall follow those who believe...they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." I have been standing on this word for a long time and I was so excited to see God's Word at work in that moment. It was such an amazing moment. The entire building was praying for me, our leadership had their hands on me and I was standing just believing.

So after this moment the night went on and I didn't actually physically feel any different, but the seed of belief that moment produced in my heart is already starting to transform my physical body! This morning I was finishing a two part series by Creflo Dollar, God keeps leading me to him because what he is teaching is speaking right to my very core. This most recent two part teaching has been about " Inward faith for outward living". Right? Hello, right where I am right now. I have been learning what it means to believe in my heart/spirit, they are one in the same, and not doubt and fear.

So last night I had a decision to make, am I gonna believe in my heart/spirit, the Word of God for my life or believe what my body/senses are telling me. This is the on going battle...what God's Word says versus what my physical body says. Well, God made me in His image therefore I am spirit and I am gonna believe what my spirit is saying and what is my spirit saying??? Whatever I am feeding it. If it's fear and doubt, then that's what it will say to me. If it's belief and faith, then that's what it will say to me.

Creflo Dollar said, " The more highly developed you get in your faith or fear...the quicker the manifestation will come." Jesus said things and saw signs and wonders because he was highly developed in faith. We say things and don't see the signs and wonders because we have not highly developed ourselves in the Word of God, our faith. We will see our manifestation as we DEVELOP our faith. How do we develop our faith? We get in the Word of God and hide it in our hearts until it's second nature to live by it instead of our flesh. Psalm 45:1, " My heart is stirred by a noble theme as I recite my verses for the king, my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer." WOW...wow...as I recite, as I speak it to my King...my tongue is writing His promises on my heart, speaking to my spirit and delivering me from what my physical body is saying.

Last night, I was healed of ms...do I feel it? My mom told me yesterday she was going to start asking me, " How am I believing?", instead of, " How am I feeling". Good word mom...so I am asking you today, how are you believing? Let that be bigger than your flesh and we will see complete victory.
