STRETCH FORTH YOUR HAND
It was over two months ago that my left hand started
hurting, and especially my thumb! The pain made it so that I couldn’t dry-rack
my gun, and that really upset me, but I hadn’t told anyone about it.
But the next week at church, during the worship service,
Apostle Philip called out a few different healings for parts of the body. One
of the things he mentioned was healing for those who had hand or wrist issues.
I took it.
Right after the service, my thumb area felt a lot better
but not totally 100 percent healed, and as I was thinking about that, the Lord
told me: “Start exercising that hand every day. Stretch it out.” So I did it.
After about a week and a half, the pain was a lot less, and after two more weeks,
it was totally gone! That was more than two months ago, and I have no pain at
all and can dry-rack my gun just fine! LOL. Praise the Lord!
Why did it take a while for the pain to totally
disappear? I don’t know, but what I do know is that when I test it every so
often, there’s absolutely no pain whatsoever, not even a tiny pinch!
Sometimes we need to take a specific action to bring our
total healing into manifestation. And the Lord will show us or tell us exactly what we need
to do to receive the whole healing intended for us. It’s our responsibility and
privilege to do what the Holy Spirit says, no matter what.
Ephesians 4:30 tells us to “Grieve not the Holy Spirit of God.” He is HOLY, and He is SPIRIT, and He is OF
GOD. He’s not going to lie to us. And
when we follow the instruction of the Lord, we get to know Him and His ways
with us in an even more intimate way. We learn that it’s important to walk out
our relationship with the Lord each day.
My total healing process with my thumb took a few weeks,
and I’m actually kind of glad it did, because of what the Lord taught me in the
process. In Matthew 12:9-13, we have an example of Jesus healing a man with a
withered hand:
“And when he [Jesus] was
departed thence, he went into their synagogue: and, behold, there was a man
which had his hand withered. And they asked him, saying, ‘Is it lawful to heal
on the sabbath days?’ that they might accuse him.
“And he said unto them, ‘What
man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a
pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out? How much
then is a man better than a sheep? ‘Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the
sabbath days.’
“Then saith he to the man, ‘Stretch
forth thine hand.’ And he stretched it forth; and it was restored whole, like
as the other.”
The man got his hand totally healed. Notice that he also
had to participate in the healing process. He had a choice, and he instantly
decided to do exactly what Jesus said to do: “ ‘Stretch forth thine hand.’
” And he stretched it forth.”
Have a blessed week walking with the Lord Jesus Christ.
Let’s stretch forth our hands in praise and receive all he has for us this
week.
Love, Carolyn
