Do Not Be Afraid

Do not be afraid and only believe
Yet our thoughts and actions can deceive
Jesus’ promise is that she will be made well
Yet we concede to the whispers from hell

To deadly diseases we give undo reverence
Forgetting about The Great Physicians deliverance
To diseases like cancer we too often cower
Overlooking the promises of Heavenly power

Do not be afraid and only believe He spoke
Too often we let us fear and worry choke
We become blinded to the promises given
That healing power is promised from Heaven

We are given authority to heal all disease
Of Spiritual Power we are His trustees
The promises are written in His Holy Word
For God’s glory let healing testimony be heard

Brothers and Sisters,

Too often we hear of deadly diseases and terminal prognosis and we feel we are fighting a losing cause. Oh sure, we pray for the sick and their families. But are we truly putting our faith and the using the authority given us for such times? I’m not doubting the faith of any believer, but too often I see us concede to science and medicine instead of to Jesus. I am guilty of feeling that there is little or no hope when I hear of a loved one diagnosed with a terminal illness. This doubt is not something new to believers, even the Apostles had issues with doubt and were unable to perform as commanded.

This is a reminder that we are commission to preach the Kingdom of God and heal the sick. I often find studies on the healing power of Jesus and have seen and heard powerful testimonies of healing, but yet there is still doubt. I am tired of living in this doubt…in this fleshly mind. I am calling that power forward to show God’s glory.

In Christ,
Christian
