A friend went to the hospital and she was diagnosed of a serious medical condition that could soon end her life. The thought of it gave her sleepless night and drain her life gradually. She lost the will to live or enter into any serious relationship for she thought she might died leaving her lover broken hearted.
I met her one day and she explained everything to me. She was really sad and I could see tears in her eyes as she spoke. I said to her "you cannot die at a tender age" you will surely live and not die.
I asked her : whose report do you believe? Is it the doctors report or what the Bible says?
WHO HAS believed (trusted in, relied upon, and clung to) our message [of that which was revealed to us]? And to whom has the arm of the Lord been disclosed? Isaiah 53:1
I believe God is a healer and He will heal me she said. I said know that's a wrong confession, God has already healed you for by his(Jesus) strips we are healed. The Bible never said by his strips we will be healed.
But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5
Healing is our portion as God's children, we don't cry for it, it has already been made available to us and all we need to do is to declare it over our life. If you are sick you don't cry saying "Lord please heal" rather you say "I am healed in Jesus name''
A lot of Christians believe what doctors says more than what God says. They will believe and act upon anything doctors tell them but always find it hard to believe what God tells them and it becomes difficult for them to act upon it. It is good to listen to what a doctor say but the best report we need to rely on and believe is God's word.
Having faith in God's word and acting upon it brings the manifestations of signs and wonders. As believers of God the only report we should believe is what the bible says and not what people say.
