Faith, you can’t see it, touch it, taste it, or feel it with ordinary senses; bit you know it exists and that it is real. The holy bible tells us in Deuteronomy 7:9, “Know therefore that the Lord your God is God; he is a faithful God, keeping his covenant of love to a thousand generations of those who love him and keep his commands.”
I’ve been asked recently to trust and have faith in God for the healing of my mind and body. What would that look like to me? It would have to be supernatural for someone to create a cure for the schizo-affective disorder, major depressive disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder and generalized anxiety disorder. Medications today can control the wild up and downward swings in mood. A cure would be the next logical step. The scientist has tried for years to come up with a cure or the cure for these and other conditions to no avail. That doesn’t mean their not close.
But, for those who endure and even suffer in their mental illness maladies each day is laden with a dependence on medication, meditation, and determination to be an overcomer through Christ who is in them. The other cure would be God’s direct touch of healing; a miraculous event that is personal and intentional. I don’t doubt that GOD has cured the multitudes in biblical days and today. I, however, do not feel worthy of his time and talent. I do not noteworthy in anyone’s eyes but Gods’. I believe my illnesses to be insignificant to other peoples illnesses that are on waiting list for donors, or hovering between life and death. It’s not that God can’t handle more than a few at a time for he can, and he probably does it just a matter of faith and acceptance of the healings. There are people of faith that die not having their needs heard or met. Illness is not discriminatory it is an equal opportunity chance we all live.
“you receive not, because you ask not,” is a familiar quotation that comes to mind. Faith is the belief in something not seen yet but, is accepted as it exists. Putting God to the test of faith and being disappointed that you are answered in a manner that is unexpected is powerful thinking. I am sure Abraham felt powerless when he was told to sacrifice his son’s life, yet the story came out right as God provided a different sacrifice in place of Issac. Abraham had faith that God would provide, and he was not disappointed.
