As I was sitting in church last night I began thinking about charismatic faith and what that would look like played out in my life. I believe in God and I believe in what He can do, but sometimes I am afraid to claim it as boldly as I should. I have heard it a thousand times, but it was the one thousand and oneth time that it finally hit me. God doesn’t need me to defend Him. All He asks is that I believe. Claim it and believe it and trust Him to do it. If I truly do that with the most sincerity, I will be healed. I have been afraid to proclaim that God can and will heal me in fear that if He doesn’t, somehow I would diminish the name of Christ.
I used to tell myself that God hasn’t healed me because the people around me don’t believe it. That they wouldn’t know how to accept it. I thought that I just wasn’t raised in the right church, I didn’t have the right people praying, I need to go to where God is moving. God is everywhere and can work through anyone. What a naïve thought process. It is not my job to worry about anyone else believing it. There heart isn’t for me to change. God didn’t ask me to save them or change them. He asked me to sacrifice my life for Him to use. That I can do.
God is going to heal me. I am not afraid to claim that. Whether you believe it, pray along side me, or write it off, God will do it.
