In Jesus' Hands: Day 9

30 Days In Jesus' Hands

Confidence grows. Scripture tells us that Jesus is always with us, but, being human, we often do not feel that He is near. Well, my awareness of His loving presence is escalating. It is this grateful awareness which brings the confidence. It is like seeing baby chicks around their mother hen. They know that their mum is watching every second, is always ready with a loving beak or a gentle brrrrk, brrrrk, to bring them back into safety. This is how I am. This is beyond feeling.

A couple of nights ago I finished my daily report and posted it to PsalmsOfJohn.com. After considerable tidying up and fussing to get just the right words I figured it was as good as I could get it without reviewing it over several days. Each post is committed to its own day.

I slept well and woke with Jesus in my heart and the knowledge that I'm still alive; (there is probably a distinct possibility that I could wake up dead, seeing as I just stopped my medications, am doing no tests on myself, and seeing no medical people).

My very next thought was the sentence I had wanted but could not find the previous night. In my mind's eye I could clearly see every word, even the full stop. Immediately I went and updated the posting. The Lord Jesus Christ is with me! Yes? Yes. That was so exciting. I've never before tried to write or diary daily, and am sure that it would not be do-able without Jesus.

Then, this morning, I woke knowing that Jesus is Lord, and straight away I spoke "I feel well". This is the most significant thing I can feel right now. Here we are, day 9 of this project. Not suffering withdrawal symptoms from the drugs I'm not taking. Not feeling giddy or in pain of faint from crazy blood sugar levels or wild heart failure. "I feel well". So today, again, I have this certain hope that God is present with me in Christ, my Mother hen, my Abba Dad.

Favourite Bible Verses:

(Psalm 121 NIV)
I lift up my eyes to the hills -
where does my help come from?
My help comes from the Lord,
the Maker of heaven and earth.
He will not let your foot slip -
he who watches over you will not slumber;
indeed, he who watches over Israel
will neither slumber nor sleep.
The Lord watches over you -
the Lord is your shade at your right hand;
the sun will not harm you by day,
nor the moon by night.
The Lord will keep you from all harm -
he will watch over your life;
the Lord will watch over your coming and going
both now and forevermore.

(Jeremiah 29:11-13 NIV)
For I know the plans I have for you," declares the Lord, "plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future. Then you will call upon me and come and pray to me, and I will listen to you. You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.

Praise Jesus,
Amen.

Restoration - T8

Testimony 8: 12th July 2006: My Left Knee
Supernatural Healing and Restoration

Trish, my wife, and I went to a daytime healing meeting, more as an opportunity to fellowship and praise Jesus than for any other reason. We were half way there when I thought: "Healing meeting! I'll ask for my knee!"

Several months previously my left knee had begun to ache. It got very painful and I developed an involuntary limp. I saw my doctor who sent me to an orthopaedic surgeon who had x-rays and an MRI scan done. He said "look, you can see that the cartilage is worn like an old blanket, there are clear signs of arthritis here and here and here; your knee is finished, it will continue to get worse. I will send you back to your GP who will manage the pain for you. I'll see you again in six years or so, to fit a plastic knee". My own doctor said nothing to help this situation, she offered no encouragement, in fact she made it clear that physiotherapy, exercises and taking fish oil and glucosamine from health shops was just wasting time and money.

At the healing meeting we had a wonderful time of worshiping our Father and our Lord Jesus. Then the leader, Pastor Phil, asked for people to stand who had received "bad reports from doctors". I had never heard such a request before. I and four others stood. Phil asked questions and prayed for each one. When it was my turn the meeting would not accept the bad report for me but claimed healing in Jesus' name.

Soon there was a clearly noticeable warmth manifesting in my knee; I could definitely feel something going on inside the knee. Soon after that, a similar sensation occurred within my right knee; there had never been any symptoms for that knee but I knew, "without any doubt" (James 1:6), that the right knee was also very worn and was being repaired before it got bad enough to show symptoms. Both knees were being healed! At the end of the meeting a number of people came up to me to ensure that I understood that this healing was a spiritual victory. I was told to cleave to my healings, to hang on to them with everything I had, because Satan and his demons would try to get them back; I would feel pain and other symptoms in my knees and must immediately tell the demons that I and my knee belonged to Jesus, that Jesus had healed me and that I was going to stay healed.

Many times this has proved true, I might twist my knee or it will become tired and sore, then, in the authority I have from Jesus, I will speak to Satan, the symptoms will go and I will have no further trouble for a time. I have clung to the healing in Jesus' name and am still healed, after some years I still have great mobility and vitality. Praise Jesus!
