Healing
I once went to a meeting where there was a hands-on teaching on healing and specifically using the word of knowledge. I had been to many classes on healing such as God’s Generals and almost any Christian healer my pastor could get a DVD on. I’ve been through deliverance, a three day inner-healing immersion workshop, and a Spiritual Roots of Disease class by Henry Wright. This stuff isn’t brand-spanking new to me.
I’d experienced a lot of healing both instantly and gradually such as asthma, eczema, respiratory allergies, food allergies, foot fungus, weight loss, a wart, digestion issues, hearing, etc. I have also lost some of my healing.
Basically, I was at the meeting to support the ministry I was involved in. Some guy taught about getting an impression or feeling on a body part for someone else. So, some other guy walked up to me and said that he saw that I needed healing for my back.
I told him that he could pray for me but I wasn’t aware of any back issues. As he prayed, I felt the warmth in his hand and my bones in my spine started to crackle. I asked if he heard or felt these things but he wasn’t.
After he was done praying, I felt my back and remembered that I was tested for scoliosis in high school and even when I went to the ER room for asthma they sent me a report that noted my scoliosis condition.
I felt the protrusion of one of the vertebrae. It had gone down but the spine was not perfectly in place. I asked him to pray again. I heard more crackling and I felt the heat of his hand again. He prayed until everything was in alignment and I told him to stop.
All those years I had unknowingly suffered from a mild back pain. It was just a part of my life. Now I can stand for hours and not be affected. God had a surprise healing for me. But remember this, I didnt' believe that I needed my back healed. So this wasn't 'faith healing' rather is was a word of knowledge or 'prophetic healing.'
There was a time when I felt that God told me to get off of my asthma medication and so I told one of the leaders of the church. She went into an emotional rant that almost caused me to have a panic attack. I realized that I told the wrong person. I should have told my pastor who had the anointing of faith healing. He would’ve prayed for me and sealed the deal.
As I brought the issue to God, He said that we would go with plan B. I would get off of the asthma medication gradually.
I’m not trying to shame anybody because we are all at different levels in our faith healing walk but when you have a SERIOUS health issue it is best to go to someone who has lots of experience with people being healed from sickness and disease through their ministry or anointing. If you tell someone who is not that solid on healing then it can hijack your faith.
I had a pastor who would notice the atmosphere of faith in the room and when it was high then he would announce for us to pray because it was an open Heaven.
Just look at the gospel. There are many ways that Jesus healed people. Sometimes he cast out demons and sometimes he rebuked the sickness. Sometimes he required an act of faith. In any case, the condition seemed to require a certain level of an atmosphere of faith.
There are certain things that help our faith. Now that I free of all of the effects of trauma it may be easier for me to get healed of the few things that I'd like healing from. Those things had been healed before but were lost because of medication taken and an accident.
