I LOVE the way Joseph Prince addresses this healing situation in today's "Grace Inspirations".
GOD’S SUPERABOUNDING GRACE FOR
YOU
2 Corinthians 9:8 And God is able
to make all grace abound toward you, that you, always having all sufficiency in
all things, may have an abundance for every good work.
If you were in the same synagogue
as the man with the withered hand (see Luke 6:6–11), how would you see him and
what do you think you would say to him?
Jesus was preaching in that
synagogue when He saw the man with the withered hand. But He also saw superabounding
grace around that hand for healing and wholeness. He sees differently from us.
He sees the invisible. He sees that the kingdom of God is here, ever-present in
any situation, with superabundant supply. We see only the visible, which is
tangible, temporal and which seems so real to us.
But Jesus saw superabounding
grace on that withered hand for healing because you do not tell a man with a
withered hand, “Stretch out your hand,” unless you see the supply, the
superabundance for wholeness for that hand. Jesus called forth the
superabounding grace to envelop that man’s withered hand, and the hand was made
whole.
It is possible for someone who is
sick to have superabounding grace on him and yet that superabundance of grace
does not heal his body. That is because he keeps acknowledging the lack or the
problem he sees. He is more concerned with that which is visible and temporal.
Instead of calling forth, and
acknowledging and confessing the superabundance of God’s grace, he confesses
his negative circumstance all the time. So even though the superabounding grace
is there, it is there in vain. Isn’t that sad?
Jesus called forth life, and life
sprang into visibility. We must call forth what we want to see. Say, “Father, I
thank You that right now, though my health is under attack, there is
superabounding grace available for my healing and health. I call it forth and
receive it now in Jesus’ name. Amen!”
My friend, don’t be conscious of
what you see lacking or missing. Be conscious of God’s superabounding grace for
you and avail yourself of it!
AMEN! This is SO powerful and SO needful! We must train ourselves to SEE God's Word as TRUTH by allowing Holy Spirit to give us the 'inner picture' of ourselves, and others, as we desire to be, NOT as we appear to be, feel like, or sound like! Never forget that God's Word is TRUTH (John 17:17) and the ONLY Truth. Refuse to be moved by your physical senses when they contradict what God's Word says! This does NOT happen overnight. It takes the 'determined purpose' that Paul speaks of in Philippians 3:10 AMP! When we do this, we will not be moved and we will begin to see a fullness of the manifestation of the promises of God that we have hoped for! AMEN! Here is Hillsong UNITED with a new song called "Another In The Fire":
VERSE 1
There’s a grace when the heart is under fire
Another way when the walls are closing in
And when I look at the space between
Where I used to be and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
CHORUS
There was another in the fire
Standing next to me
There was another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
Of how I’ve been set free
There is a cross that bears the burden
Where another died for me
TAG
There is another in the fire
VERSE 2
All my debt left for dead beneath the waters
I’m no longer a slave to my sin anymore
And should I fall in the space between
What remains of me and this reckoning
Either way I won’t bow
To the things of this world
And I know I will never be alone
CHORUS 2
There is another in the fire
Standing next to me
There is another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
What power set me free
There is a grave that holds no body
And now that power lives in me
BRIDGE
And I can see the light in the darkness
As the darkness bows to Him
I can hear the roar in the heavens
As the space between wears thin
I can feel the ground shake beneath us
As the prison walls cave in
Nothing stands between us
Nothing stands between us
VERSE 3
There is no other name
But the Name that is Jesus
He who was and still is
And will be through it all
So come what may in the space between
All the things unseen and this reckoning
I know I will never be alone
CHORUS 3
There’ll be another in the fire
Standing next to me
There’ll be another in the waters
Holding back the seas
And should I ever need reminding
How good You’ve been to me
I’ll count the joy come every battle
‘Cause I know that’s where You’ll be
Shalom in Him!
