It would be easy to stay on the topic of healing forever, because God’s Word has so much to say about it. Once I get on a roll, I like to keep on rolling! So let’s keep talking about healing!
I had a great revelation some years ago when my oldest daughter and I were talking about pain tolerance. I’ve always been quite proud of the fact that I’m a pretty tough cookie and have a high tolerance for pain. She just mentioned that she wanted to have no pain tolerance, because she didn’t want to tolerate any pain in her life. The light bulb went off in my brain. Duh! Why tolerate pain? We really should be so in tune with our bodies that the moment anything tries to malfunction, we act on it immediately. We rebuke and resist pain immediately. With a high pain tolerance, what do we often do? We tolerate pain, we accept it, we live with it. As believers, we should immediately take our stand that Jesus took our pain for us, so we can live unlimited by physical pain. Jesus did the suffering for us, so we can enjoy a healthy life. In my case, my oldest child led me to the truth!
What have you been tolerating in your life? Have you made up your mind because something runs in your family that you will probably have it too? I want to challenge you, don’t tolerate pain. Don’t tolerate living in the fear of getting some disease that is common in your family. Stand against it, and choose to let your thoughts and your mouth line up with the belief in your heart that God is your healer, and that Jesus paid the price for you to walk in health.
