God Is Still In The Healing Business



(Exodus 15:26)

One of the most frequent prayer requests I get each day here at Liveprayer is for physical healing. I spoke yesterday about how we must not take our good health for granted, but I realize many of you who read this Devotional are not in good health. You have every kind of challenge in that area of your life imaginable. Of course the first question most ask is why. Why me? There is no sure answer to that question. In some cases, part of the problem can be traced to poor dietary habits. In some cases it might have been abuse to your body with tobacco products, alcohol, or drugs. But in most cases there are no real answers. It is at those moments when there are more questions than answers, that we MUST make our faith real and look to the Lord.

I want each one of you that is reading this Devotional to know that I have set aside 6pm until midnight on Wednesday January 31st as a time of prayer for those who need a healing touch from the Lord. It might be for you, or for a family member, or possibly a friend. Simply email me at bkeller@liveprayer.com the name of the person or persons who need God's healing touch, so that I can call their name before God next Wednesday. I have no special powers. I do not even know you or the person whose name(s) you will send. But, I do know the One who is ALL POWERFUL. I know the One who DOES know that person better than they know themselves. I know that my Bible says that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever. That wonderful truth literally means that the same Jesus you read of in the bible healing people, is the EXACT SAME Jesus who is alive and healing people today!!!!! What a marvelous truth!!!

I love you, and I care about you so much. Take advantage of this opportunity today to email me the name of the one or ones that you want me to pray for this coming Wednesday. I will be fasting several days prior and am expecting incredible testimonies of God's healing power in the bodies of many. The only question today is do you have the faith? In the bible, as Jesus healed people, almost in every case He would say, "go, your FAITH has made you whole". You see my friend, there is nothing magical about emailing me a name or anything magical about the prayers I will lift up. However, that email so I can lift up those names is a point of contact for your faith. Just like the hem of Christ's garment was not magical, the woman with the issue of blood reached out and touched it, BY FAITH, and was made whole. It was the point of contact for her faith.

May you take that step of faith today, email me the name of the person or persons that you want me to pray for.
