Better Than a MiracleWritten by Joyce C. Lock
Continued from page 1
So, what can be even Better Than a Miracle? Consider this ... For all things are for your sakes, that abundant grace might through thanksgiving of many redound to glory of God. For which cause we faint not; but though our outward man perish, yet inward man is renewed day by day. For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; While we look not at things which are seen, but at things which are not seen: for things which are seen are temporal; but things which are not seen are eternal. 2 Co. 4:15-18 When you receive a miracle of healing, that is an awesome testimony! However, when it is for your sake that your healing comes over time, that becomes a testimony, too. You spend at least some of that time growing in your relationship with God ... that is, unless you don't believe God heals. God makes your trial a blessing, as God is plenty capable of turning whatever Satan does into something good. You become a forerunner, learning how to overcome, wherein you, then, have a testimony to help others find their rightful place with God, too, and that blesses you even more! Also, as is often case, people, from all walks of life, have discovered ability to serve via internet ~ as their bodies haven't allowed them other options to serve. If they had been physically healthy, would they have, otherwise, ever dreamed to minister to hundreds, thousands, and hundred thousands? In some cases, blooming where you are planted is most loving option God can offer. But, again, grace always has a point of redemption. When you finally know your importance in ministry, as a child of God, and are ready to serve, just as vigorously, without your physical or spiritual thorn, Satan has lost his power over you and it's time for your healing. Praise God! Not only that but, those who've suffered with Christ will also be glorified with Him!!! God sees and feels your every hurt. There is nothing that touches your heart but what it touches heart of God. Though, He also knows it is only for a season. Sometimes, we view those with physical infirmities as weak, sinful, etc.; not realizing these are often God's chosen. In such case, God has granted these a time of spiritual growth. He does not see them as week or sickly, at all. In fact, He is so very proud, knowing that these are His true warriors; ones that didn't give up on Him no matter what. And, what you also may not realize is that, in addition to all other lives you touch, every time you choose God in spite of all that ails ~ you are earning glory for all eternity! God looks upon heart and, when you realize your rewards, you'll finally 'know' it really was worth it all!!! Though, not even Jesus could be all that He was yet going to be until certain things were accomplished. But I have a baptism to be baptized with; and how am I straitened till it be accomplished! Luke 12:50 Always, God does healing and, often, via Jesus. There are choices we can make in process of overcoming. But, none-the-less, God calls rest to do our part. If you want to see God's great army turning this land into something Better Than a Miracle, consider what God said. Is not this fast that I have chosen? to loose bands of wickedness, to undo heavy burdens, and to let oppressed go free, and that ye break every yoke? Isaiah 58:6 © 2004 by Joyce C.
