How many of us desire the gift of healing here?
Bukky: I won’t call it a desire. More like an if it’s for me let it be for me type of thing. Cause I heard ( Don’t know if I was taught wrong) that some people have certain gifts and others don’t. Don’t know if I made sense or it’s true
Dasi: As for me, I think I was told that I have the gift of healing
A lot of believers desire healing gifts. We want to say to the sick, be healed and they are healed. We want to drive out sickness when it comes to our dwelling
But we miss something. Our intent sometimes are wrong. A lot of want God's power to be displayed. Now, note that this is not a bad thing in itself o. Wanting God to display His power is good
Men are drawn to Him, but you see the gift of healing ehn, it's one of the most powerful also love-filled gift from God.
Sickness is a lot of pain
If you've been sick or know someone who has been terribly sick, it is so much pain. Pain beyond even the groanings you hear from them. Pain beyond their tears that you can see. Healing is not just God's power revealed. It is really God having compassion on men and putting an end to their pain
It is God relating to all man is going through. It is God understanding that you are in pain, Christ feeling that pain alongside you.
He understands humanity, for as a man, our magnificent King-Priest was tempted in every way just as we are, and conquered sin. Hebrews 4:15 TPT
I started shouting and telling Jesus I don't want. I kept begging Him to take the pain. I didn't want that woman's pain. How can someone go through that kind of pain? 😭😭😭
I saw a tear drop from Jesus
I looked at Him (He had been with me in the woman's room)
And then I realized He had the woman's pain too
The pain on her leg and all of her pains
It dawned on me then that I carried just little of this woman's pain and I wanted to die but Jesus was bearing all of her pains. Then He opened His body to me. And I saw screams from His body
Different people, from different nations of the earth
Thousands of sick people
Who probably think they are alone in this sickness
But Jesus was right there going through it with everyone
Imagine the weight of millions of people if I was screaming to the physical over one person's leg pain
At that moment, I begged him to take away that leg pain from me first before we continue the conversation. He did and then He told me the woman's name to pray for.
So this woman was an actual real life sick person. I tapped put and found myself crying on the street, standing on one spot, people looking at me almost ready to call the police. After that time, the Holy Spirit would visit me with names of people to pray for.
Sometimes I could hear a Mary in Germany and what is wrong with her. And there was something I was so experiencing, I get a taste of the pain they go through
Like I just feel the weight momentarily. And even in just that moment, it is so much pain
My only response was compassion
I came to understand this scripture "And Jesus, moved with compassion..."
It felt like I shared in their pain and though they were smiling to the world, they were in pain
I knew that pain briefly and my prayers completely changed
I will see a sick person and I'm moved to tears
I'm not okay until I pray
Healing is not just God's glory displayed. All of creature already displays the glory of God
Healing is God feeling man's pain and giving a solution
God loves people so much, so so much. I say it a lot that God is such a people person.
For as many of us that want to partner with God, we must love people
You see a sick person and the first thing that comes to your mind is let's work God power here
No!
Again, this in its entirety is not wrong o. Our first instinct is how these people are in so much pain and God really doesn't want them to be in pain.
Healing should not just be a display of power. It is God's love displayed
For everyone of us that want to operate in this ministry, we must get to that point where our hearts break when we see sick people.
You see a mad person, and you are drawn to compassion. They are not living God's best for them. They are in the worst pain but do not even know
Compassion!
There was a time I'd see myself in Hospitals. Thousands of sick people groaning in pain. By the time I'm back to reality, I'm crying and praying
The gift of healing is a love burden
It is partnering in love with God
It is not a gift to propel ourselves
It is not a gift we pray for because we want to belong. Oh everyone is healing these days. God is healing massively this season, so we want to be part.
This gift is solely about the people in pain and how God wants that pain to end for them. The one who administers healing is really not important in the scheme of things. If you desire the title, healing evangelist, you are maybe in the wrong place o.
Beyond the title is a heart that breaks for men. That knows and understands how God feels when they come in contact with sick
Tonight, if you've been praying for the gift of healing, I need you to pause and Change your prayer points. Start praying for compassion
PRAY FOR COMPASSION
Pray that the Lord gives you a heart filled with compassion. A heart that breaks over the things God's heart breaks over
A heart that moves as God's moves. And here is the thing with this God's kind of compassion. You already feel a pain alongside that sick person
It hurts you so much the only response you have is praying that pain away. The gift of healing delivered
It is not your pain o but it becomes your pain
You are a partner with God
These are the men God is looking for
Not men who just want to display God's power
Men who love people and feel for them
Healing is First, compassion. We must never forget this
If we've started wrongly, let's retrace here
God wants us to partner with Him in this healing business but first, Compassion
