Laying Hands On The Sick And They Shall Recover Part 2

So…let’s start into this wonderful healing God did through me to heal another person. Like I said before this was the first time this has ever happened to me. I have heard this happening to others and believed it but I was really beside myself when God used me.

It’s wonderful to be used by God!

So the Sunday before last I was in church and we go to a large church which is something I am not really use to so that in itself can be for me a little intimidating! Our pastor asked after our praise and worship was over to meet and greet people around us which is the normal thing we do every Sunday.

The pastor asked us to take a few moments and just grab a few people and pray for whatever requests were spoken…..So I was like oh my gosh Lord are you asking me to pray out loud? Like so everyone can hear me? Knowing how I struggled with that I found myself in a situation I could really not avoid so………I just smiled and said ooooooook. Really inside I was freaking out!

So we asked the couple in front of us to be in our group and it was just us four. We both prayed for each other’s different needs and it was a great experience.

Then pastor started his sermon and we were in the book of Acts…he was talking about when God’s voice said to Saul “Saul Saul Why are you persecuting me?”

In the verses 3-12 was our focusing points and I was listening to the pastor when all the sudden I heard something in my head telling me “I want you to pray for healing to the gentlemen sitting to the right of you, I want you to pray for a physical healing and I want you to lay hands on this person.”

I was like Huh?? Then I was like “Is this my own mind thinking this or was this the Lord speaking to me?” Then after a few minutes I thought to myself “Did I hear what I think I heard?”

Then I heard this again and this time was said “Yes, I want you to lay hands on this person and ask for a physical healing.” Then I thought to myself “Really?” “Are you sure you want me to do this?” Then I heard “Yes!”

By this time I was like not really paying attention because my thoughts were flooded with all this. I was really questioning the Lord reason being was because I am at a place in my walk with God where I am learning to be Led By the Holy Spirit and I am trying to understand when it’s Him speaking to me or my own thoughts so often times I question Him.

But thanks be to God he understands and he simply guides me! He is so awesome!

Then of course I asked again and again and then I started to feel a little sick at my stomach. I thought “Am I hurting the Lord by not doing what he has told me to do? Then I felt bad and said I was sorry…please forgive me!”

Of course the sick ache I had could have come from my nerves as well. I mean I was flooded with thoughts! So I thought to myself ok if you really want me to do this then I will. I as totally out of my comfort zone!Way out!

After a while I started to question the Lord again because it was coming towards the end of the sermon when I thought to myself I am just going to flip through some of the pages and Lord please can you give me one more sign?

Then I started turning the pages of my bible and then I came to this one page in Acts 15 verse 17 and the words just popped out at me like as soon as I turned the page! It said “The Lord has spoken” I was like oh my gosh!! Ok, double freak out moment!

Then I kept turning a couple of more pages and then in Acts 18 verse 9 this jumped out at me just the same as the other and i knew it was the Lord! It said “Don’t be afraid!” “Speak out!” “Don’t be silent”

WOW! I was like ooooooooooooK Now you have my complete attention!

After all that I was convinced it was the Lord! I thought to myself ok I will be obedient and leave the results up to God! And I did. After the service was over I turned towards the man and said to him….”Hi, my name is Tina and I would normally not do this but I really felt the Lord wanted me to pray for a physical healing for you?” “By any chance do you have a back condition?”

Now I had this inner knowing that it was his back I think the Lord gave me that….But then you should have seen the man’s face! His eyes got really big around and he just as stunned! Probably as much as I was!

He said “Yes!” “I do have a problem with my back!” By then I was like really freaking out. So I showed him what verses popped out at me and I told him that I was back and forth with this the whole church service and I said “Hey if you don’t mind can I pray for a physical healing for you?” And leave the results up to God?

Of course the man was like “Sure!” and so I did. I prayed for a radical healing in Jesus name and I layed hands of him and at the end I said I am praying this because I feel like you have asked me to, I will leave the results up to you and then I said to the man “Now it’s up to you to receive it!”

When we left church I heard Jesus say Thank you for being obedient! And I thought to myself that was cool but weird! Really it’s not something that has ever happened to me and so it was really weird to me.

A week later this past Sunday we were headed into the church for services and as we walked up towards the doors that man was standing there!

He was lit up like a Christmas tree just glowing from ear to ear happy and in no pain whatsoever as a matter of fact he opened the door and he said this to me “I am so excited to see you walk up this morning, I wanted to say thank you so much for being obedient I am amazedly better! I feel great! Thank you so much! I could not wait to tell you!”

God healed him! How Cool is That!!!!

I was beside myself to be used by God in that way…I had to share this with you all I wanted you to know his amazing power! He really will talk to you it’s just that often times we just don’t understand that it’s him!

Be Blessed!
