The God With Healing In His Wings - A. Morton
“But to you who fear My name
The Sun of Righteousness shall arise
With healing in His wings;
And you shall go out
And grow fat like stall-fed calves.”
I believe in obeying and believing God and because of this belief, I organized a prayer gathering at my home on March 13th. I was told to coordinate this and against many obstacles of the enemy, I pushed through. The Lord had said, “if you do not give in to fear and push through, I will reward you with many testimonies of healing that will come forth from this”. He is faithful, this is the third testimony from our Healing Prayer Gathering. - Grace
A few years ago, I was diagnosed with an autoimmune disease. As a result of this, I suffered arthritis pain and inflammation in my joints. I had been in excruciating pain for a while and as time went by the pain intensified. My Rheumatologist increased the dosage of my pain medication but warned that if there was no difference in three days, he would prescribe a stronger medication.
There was no improvement after the third day, but I didn't contact the Rheumatologist because I did not want anything stronger. I took one day at a time, confessing God's word daily and trusting that one day my healing would manifest. Whenever people noticed my struggle and expressed concern, I assured them that I would be okay.
I attended the healing service on 3/13 and had a blessed time. During the service, I was prayed for by my sisters. I felt the presence of the Lord as they prayed and the Tallit which is the healing prayer shawl was placed over me. I went from feeling so overwhelmed to feeling the peace of God come over me.
I believed the Lord had begun work. As I left the service, thoughts like "you are still in pain", crossed my mind. I didn't give those thoughts a chance to dwell, so they had to leave. The next day I realized that I had run out of my pain pills. I thought of taking the lower dose I was previously on but a voice said to me, down in my heart, "why not try going without taking any since you were prayed for last night; it couldn't have been a coincidence, the Lord must have planned it that way." I obeyed and went without it. By the end of that day, I felt no different but that in itself was a miracle because, without any pain medication, my pain level would have been increased.
As the days went by, I realized I was in less pain. I have gone without the pain medication for a couple of weeks now. To God be the glory, my joints and muscles feel fine. Just the other day, I realized that I was able to jog up the stairs. I don't remember when last I was able to do that. God is so good! Praise God, I am able to do so much more than I could previously, without excruciating pain and without my joints locking up on me.
Sometimes God's healing does not come as an eruption, sometimes God's healing comes gradually. Elijah found Him not in the earthquake or the fire but in the still small voice. At times, God's healing like in my case requires a daily step of faith.
I am very thankful to God for His mercies and healing. I am grateful to God for my sisters who prayed for me during that service and everyone that has sent up prayers on my behalf. I will bless the Lord at all times, for He has forgiven all my iniquity and He has healed all my diseases (Ps 103). He who began a great work in me will complete it because He is faithful! Amen.
“Surely He has borne our griefs
And carried our sorrows;
Yet we esteemed Him stricken,
Smitten by God, and afflicted.
But He was wounded for our transgressions,
He was bruised for our iniquities;
The chastisement for our peace was upon Him,
And by His stripes, we are healed.”
