I am the Lord God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for me – Jeremiah 32:27
Such a wonderful God we have who is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble according to Psalm 46:1. We believers in Christ, trust and lean on Him every day in our lives. We need to everyday learn to choose God’s truth over the enemy’s lies. And we can do that only when we read, know and meditate on the Word of God. Because we know that the Word of God has power because John1:1 tells us, “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”
When we pray with the Word of God, we get instantaneous answers to our prayers. We need not pray long, beautiful prayers which sound grand because we cannot please God with our words. The only way we can please God is through our unfailing faith in Him for it is said in Hebrews 11:16 –
“And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to Him must believe that He exists and that He rewards those who earnestly seek Him.”
We have a little puppy, and our daughter was sitting with her on a tall chair and the puppy jumped off and landed at an awkward angle and hurt her back right paw. She was crying incessantly and could walk only on 3 legs and her 1 leg couldn’t touch the floor. It hurt us to see her in so much pain, and I remembered a similar incident where the dog fell and broke her foot and needed surgery. I picked her up and instead of taking her to the vet, I prayed to God first. Claiming his promise in Jeremiah 32:27, I prayed that ‘Lord you have said that You are the Lord God of all flesh, is there anything too hard for you. Yes Lord, nothing is too hard for you everything is possible for you, in you and through you. And Lord we trust in you with all our heart and will not lean on our own understanding. And in all our ways Lord, we will acknowledge you and you will make all our paths straight. Thank you, lord, for your healing.’
After praying and thanking the Lord I put the puppy down and checked if she was able to walk properly. What a powerful name it is the Name of Jesus, the Name above all names, nothing can stand against it, my puppy started walking properly without any pain or hitch.
We glorified and thanked the Lord for His powerful and instantaneous healing. When thanking the Lord, I asked Him ‘Lord we know for you everything is possible as you have shown us time and time again and today again you healed this puppy instantaneously. And we know that you love us humans so much more, then how is that you gave immediate healing to this puppy, but we know of so many people praying for years and still waiting to be healed. ‘The powerful revelation received was that God has given us humans ‘freewill ‘, God doesn’t force us to choose Him or do anything according to Deuteronomy 30:19
“Today I have given you the choice between life and death, between blessings and curses. Now I call on heaven and earth to witness the choice you make. Oh, that you would choose life, so that you and your descendants might live!”
We pray with faith and God answers our prayers, but then with faith and thanksgiving we also need to receive the Lord’s blessing and answers. Sometimes we may think that God cannot heal us completely because the doctor might have diagnosed that the disease is incurable or lifelong. But we have to remember God has promised us in Isaiah 53:5 “by His stripes we are healed “. So here we have a choice do we choose to believe in the words of the doctor who is limited by his medicinal knowledge and medical science, or do we trust in the Lord God Almighty words who says in Psalm 107:20 “He sent His Word and healed them “
For the believer it should be easy to choose God’s promise Word over man’s worldly words but not every time it’s the case. But we can always choose to obey and trust the Lord and His promises. For in John 10:10 the Lord says the enemy comes to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus has come so that we can have life, life abundantly. It is not that we should not take doctor’s advice or medicines, but along with that we should have the faith of a mustard seed that these mountains of oppression and pain will be totally removed in the Name of Jesus, the name above all names.
Prayer
Abba Father, I know that you are the God that heals me for you have sent forth your Word and healed me. Lord, I thank you for your love, compassion and mercy. Lord, I believe, help my unbelief. Bless me Lord so that I can receive your divine healing in my life.
In Jesus’s mighty name I pray Amen
