When a Healing Becomes a Journey

HEALING IS BOTH IMMEDIATE AND PROGRESSIVE; IN ANY CASE, GOD IS BOTH THE INITIATOR AND FINISHER OF HEALING.

The problem that many people struggle with is the "Interim Factor," that is, the time between the asking God to heal them and the actual healing. The age-old questions as to God's willingness to heal, what are the qualifications to receive a healing and why aren't some people healed, are debatable from many points of view. I am convinced that God is a healer and is willing to heal His creation when they get sick. I was diagnosed with Burkett's Lymphoma, a cancer strain that is known to attack the brain. Along with many other Christians, I prayed for God to heal me immediately. Instead the cancer on the left side of my jaw continued to get worse. I asked God three questions, "What are you saying? What lessons are to be learned? How can I help You?" My journey to a complete healing lasted over a period of six months. I have had the privilege of sharing hope to several people who have been diagnosed with some form of cancer. Also, I had the honor of sharing Christ with many in the medical arena. After several pet scans, my oncologist cannot find anymore cancer in my body. I hope that you find encouragement through my Journey to a complete Healing.
