Healing Hand of God ~ Part 2

Could you be faithless when it comes to your healing? If you learned from most ministries you probably are. When a pastor tells you that was just for the disciples, and God doesn’t do that anymore, tell him to show you the change order; you know, like chapter and verse. I can assure you, that you just took him out of his pay grade.We will never receive that change order from the Master, because it is not in the word. Instead of talking about what God doesn’t do anymore, you need to put Him to the test and see what He will do today, for you. I have studied the healing hand of God now for 42 years. I have read about all the books out there on healing, and I find them to be good and right. I have prayed for many people and have seen some healed; however, I have had far more failures then successes when it comes to getting others healed. I also know that if the Church would believe and act, that would not be the case.

One thing I have learned, for sure, there is no rhyme or reason, or formula whatsoever, or right or wrong way to ask. I want to share some of my own experience, when it comes to healing. I trust the Lord Jesus with my total health and I live the divine healed life. I am very blessed with good health.

This is how I was introduced to the healing power of God. The year was 1973, and I was an over the road trucker. I knew little to nothing about God, and certainly never heard of Him as a healer. I was ignorant of the Bible, and didn’t know how to pray. It was somewhere after midnight, and I was crossing over the Maryland line into Penn. headed to Rochester, N.Y.. Six years prior, I had undergone an operation for hemorrhoids, that failed because the Dr. said don’t work for two weeks and I was back on the road in two days. Big truck payments, and a family. I was sitting most of the time, about eighteen hours a day. I was suffering more than a person can bare. That time of night, back then, there was not much traffic. I would take my hands and pull up on the steering wheel and lift myself off of the seat for a couple of minutes at a time hoping to get some relief from my suffering. That night, I just could not do it any longer, and in a fox hole type experience, I cried, God Heal Me!! I never expected to get healed. I cried out in desperation.

I sat back down in the seat perfectly healed! Forever! I spent two hours sliding back and forth in that seat in disbelief! Why would God heal me? The cab was so full of smoke you could cut it with a knife. I was smoking four packs a day. I seldom sleep, but always smoked. For one thing, I thought it would help keep me awake. I was not sure I even knew how to pray, all I knew about God was hearing other people say that he was there, but why would he heal me was still a great mystery?

When I look back now, I can see why God visited me in such a personal way. He used healing to get my attention. He would later call me in to the ministry. Nevertheless, He still heals today.

I guess I had, what you would call “a woman at the well” experience. I was as about as worthy as she was. She had had five husbands, and was living with a man now that she was not married to. But now just listen to her preach.

John 4:28 “She went into the city and said to the men of the city. Come see the man!”
John 4:39 “And many of the Samaritans of that city believed on him for the saying of the woman, which testified, He told me all that ever I did.”

I thought about my healing every day, but I still didn’t know Him. Within days of my healing, I went into the biggest crisis of my life. My whole world fell apart. I was hurt, and crushed. This was, for the first time, more than I could bear, and the way out seemed impossible for me. Then I remembered the one that came to me before when I was a hurting man. I thought, there is my help since then, It has been the greatest forty two years of my life.

That is a big story just to talk about healing, but I want to show you that the Lord Jesus will heal you, and your family.

My commentary:

I have looked back many times thinking about this; why would God be with me, a truck driver, at two in the morning with that cab full of cig smoke, the Vietnam war was going on, men were being killed, good people of God dying every day, ministers were praying for God’s people that were dying every day. Why me Lord?

My friend, Our Father God used healing to call me into the ministry so I could tell you today just how much you are loved, and if he will heal a chain smoking, truck driver, who didn’t know how to pray, I believe he will heal you, and your family.

About twenty nine years ago, I had throat cancer. Yes, from the four packs a day for many years. I had an operation on my throat and forty hits of radiation in my face and throat area. Sometime later it came back with a vengeance. The pain would start in my shoulder and go up my neck, and then into my head and brain area. The pain never stopped. It was excruciating to the point of being unbearable. It seemed like it would speak to me and say, you are nothing but a dead man.

One morning, about six o’clock, I got up and cried out to the Lord like I had been doing every day, but this time I seemed to be more desperate. I remember crying, Lord Jesus, please help, please heal me. The Lord Jesus spoke to me in a very clear voice, and said these words loud and clear, “stand with me Bob, for, I am standing with you”. I was stunned, I thought I am the desperate one so why would he say stand with me. Then all at once I understood that he was saying, Bob I have already taken a stand on healing, now will you stand with me. I said” Lord I will stand”. I got up 100% healed! This was a perfect healing; never another pain, never another symptom. I didn’t even go back to the doctor. I have always gotten healed, but these two examples of healing, were at the tip of my tongue, as I was praying.

The Lord Jesus is always there for us; he does and will heal us, if we can just learn to believe. Remember, even if the Church doesn’t have the faith for it, you can learn to trust God to heal you and your family. God is God, and will always make the final call. Everything in His Word says that He loves you, and wants to heal you.
