(06/06/2000) enduring health


hello prayer warriors, 1. prayer note: enduring health We have been talking about healing in the recent prayer emails. What happens when we pray and nothing happens? Faith means that we touch God and we believe that He has healed us 2000 years ago and we appropriate that healing on the Cross by faith, based on His Word. Do we visit doctors still? Of course we do. Apply wisdom. Doctors and herbs and vitamins are all gifts from God. But ultimately, our faith is in God. He has the last word about our health. If the doctor says that you have two years to live, find out what God has to say. He is the Alpha and the Omega [Revelations 1:8] and He has the last Word. Not everyone gets instant healing. Derek Prince developed a rare skin condition which was incurable in the climate of Egypt and he laid in the hospital for one year. God gave him a revelation in the book of Proverbs. [Proverbs 4:20-22] 20 My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. 21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. 22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh. The Hebrew word for health is marpe, meaning medicine. So, while he was in the hospital, he read the Word three times a day and he called it his medicine. God healed Derek Prince gradually but totally and permanently when he diligently studied His Word. I also heard a testimony from Pastor Lois Chiew. She saw someone healed of Parkinson's disease in a meeting and she prayed for God to heal her father of the same disease. She took him to every miracle healing meeting and waited for her father to be slain and healed instantaneously. It never happened. Then one day, a brother in Christ came to her house and started discipling her father and feeding him with the Word. Her father was healed gradually by learning the Word. So, when we pray for someone, do not just lay hands and pray and leave the person without the Word. It doesn't even have to be verses on healing because God's Word is health to all our flesh. His Word produces enduring health. 2. New prayer requests: i. Mike's drive to Alaska -- brenda My son, Mike, came home on leave from the army. We live in Michigan and he in Alaska.
