So what does it look like to walk through sickness, possibly needing medicine, being at the hands of doctors and big pharma?
There are times that we need them and that is okay. There is some bad preaching and teaching in the body of Christ that will condemn for going to the doctor. They seem to imply that you don’t have enough faith to believe God for a miracle if you need medicine or medical attention. There is no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus (Romans 8:1). You must rebuke condemnation and seek the heart of God for your situation.
What I’ve learned after many battles over a decade of time, is that it looks like Mary, the mother of Jesus, in John 2:5 “Whatever He says to you, do it.” It looks like relationship and obedience to the voice of God. “My sheep hear My voice, and I know them, and they follow Me.” -Jesus in John10:27.
Please hear me, Someone else’s revelation is NOT your obedience.
I have heard God tell one friend, “You are going to walk through chemotherapy, but you are going to live.” That is not what I heard over my son however, and I felt strongly when he was first diagnosed that the high dose chemo would kill him. I wanted to believe God for healing through supernatural means, using the WORD, food, and supplements as medicine.
Bill Johnson got the COVID vaccine and Kris Vallotton did not. They are both senior leaders of the same global church movement.
Is one right and one wrong? NO! Not by any means! We are all following Jesus and following our intuition and convictions. And you must learn to do the same.
You must learn how to hear the voice of the Lord for yourself and follow Him in obedience. That comes in many ways, including through others like the prophets, pastors or leaders, and friends or family, as well as directly for yourself, but you must be able to discern, get conformation, and do like Mary said, obey Jesus. He will not fail you. You may fall. You may fail. But HE will not.
It looks like trusting God.
(or established) by the Lord,
And He delights in his way.
24 Though he fall, he shall not be utterly cast down;
For the Lord upholds him with His hand.
-Psalm37
9 A man’s heart plans his way,
But the Lord directs his steps.
Proverbs16
This preach from Barry Bennett at the Healing Is Here Conference August 2023 drives home what I am speaking to.... AND will likely put your faith through the roof to God's will and what He desires to do for you in your trial and testing. Barry comes out just after 57 minutes in the video. If you've made it to this post, I'm praying for you. Be healed in Jesus' mighty Name!
