098 – God's will for you is healing

Over the years I’ve talked to many Christians about God’s healing power and that this is part of the original Christianity Jesus taught and practiced during his ministry, and that it should be part of Christianity today.

Today we’re talking about the fact, yes the fact, that it is God’s will for you to be healed.

So, why is one person healed when you pray for them and another person is not healed?

I don't have all the answers to that question, but I do have some observations to share. Here are a few reasons your prayers may not bring healing.

• When you start your prayer with a doubt or a lack of faith that God is able to heal
• When you start your prayer with the possibility that it might be God's will not to heal
• When you are preoccupied with un-godlike thoughts: fear, worry, selfishness, sin, etc.
• When you're not tuned into the right spiritual wavelength

Jesus never told someone they weren't ready to be healed or that God was teaching them a lesson through suffering.

But isn't that what we say sometimes when we're not healed?

I have had many healings and seen many in my family and the Christian Church as a whole, in many denominations.

Don't give up

But when I haven’t been healed though, I don’t give up. I don’t decide it must be God’s will not to heal me. I keep praying. 

I keep asking God for guidance and insight on how to fast and pray more effectively. 

And by fasting, I don’t mean going without food for a certain amount of time. I mean fasting from negative, self-focused, fearful, sinful thinking.

I finally realized I had to be healed o
