HI Y'ALL

I fully intended to send a blog last evening -- even had something in mind! But when I finished cleaning the supper dishes, I decided to sit in my La-Z-Boy and rest just for a couple of minutes. The next thing I knew, I got awake and it was 10:00 PM! I was still sleepy so decided to go to bed. That's when I discovered I had accidentally taken my sleeping pill along with my evening meal meds!!!! Oh, the joys of being a Senior Citizen!

My husband and I have been studying Divine Healing during our daily devotions for nearly two years. And beginning in late October, we are starting a discussion group on the subject in our Wed. night church family night gatherings. So I'm sure that for a while, my blogs will consist of all kinds of information I've discovered along that line. Much of the info, of course, can pertain to other areas of our spiritual lives, too.

You're probably asking yourself why I'm getting involved in such a discussion when I have my own physical problems. I'll let you in on a secret, one you can mull over until the next blog!

According to the Word of God, I believe I'm healed. Notice I didn't say I AM healed. I said I BELIEVE I'm healed. There's a difference. BELIEF is FAITH, is it not? And doesn't Heb. 11:1 tell us that Faith is the evidence of things not seen? So my belief is the evidence of my healing! And I say "Praise the Lord" for that! My faith is based on Mark 11:24: "What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." I desire healing, and I believe I receive healing. Now it's God's Word that's at stake -- not mine!

Did you ever stop to think that if a person has his/her healing, he/she doesn't need faith any longer. Why? Because they have the manifestation of their healing. Often we expect instantaneous healing the moment we pray just like we've seen happen in big crusades where the person ministering has a gift of healing. And we forget that usually there is a lapse of time between faith and its results when we're praying on our own. Scripture tells us to stand fast in the faith.

So that's what I'm doing. How about you?
