Instant Healing
August 6, 2009
It was the first time I had been to youth group at our home church in Springfield, Missouri because we had been gone all Summer – it wasn’t an out of normal meeting despite the fact it was great to reunite with all our friends. God was already at work behind the curtain.
Chase, a boy in our youth group has always been one whom could naturally relate to me. We meet up as I walked into the the building. Youth service was soon to start and we all entered right into worship – it was a great time for myself personally, I don’t know about anyone else because I was lost in God’s presence. About half way through worship my left knee started to ache terribly, and I didn’t know what to do about it. I prayed and then tried to kneel down to see if it would stop hurting – then I recognize maybe God was trying to speak to me or get my attention.
I sensed that God was telling me about someone’s knee that was injured and he was going to heal it, but I didn’t know who. I really wanted to interrupt the worship service because I felt so strongly about God’s direction – I waited though for more instruction from God. Worship continued for the rest of the time – God was doing big things in the hearts of the youth.
When everyone started to settle the pastor dismissed us all. Chase quickly came to me and wanted to know if I would pray for him. I almost stopped him before he finished his sentence to ask him if it was for his knee. Wouldn’t you believe it, he asked me to pray for his knee! He hurt it during football practice, and was worried he wouldn’t be able to play.
I told him what had been going on in my heart and said I’m going to pray right here and your going to get healed right here. We prayed together, and instantly Chase’s knee was healed. I instructed him to do something that he wasn’t able to do before – he did so. It surprised him, yet, it wasn’t the fact that he was healed that surprised him, but it was the fact that it happened so quickly in his words.
God is doing big things! He sees healing as a priority, and we all can be apart of the power of heaven! Do you think when you get to heaven broken bones, or amputated legs are still going to be damaged? Or how about blind eyes, and cold? Of course not – as soon as we pass over into the glorious land we will be as good as new and never to be broken again. But Jesus said pray that God’s kingdom would come on earth as it is in heaven(Mt. 6:10). If heaven invades how can you not be healed?!
Seek Jesus.
