It has been said that laughter is the best medicine. It's true. Tonight at church a woman came up for prayer at the end of the service with a list of ailments. We began to pray and God's peace and joy just hit like a freight train!
God started by healing her back. She yelled out, "I felt it move!" The vertebrae her back her misaligned. She just couldn't help but start laughing. Also, laughter is contagious! I caught it first. I'm easy though, I LOVE it when that spirit of joy falls and you just laugh and laugh til your sides hurt and then you laugh some more. The more we laughed Donna started to catch it, then Peggy and then Mary. Pretty soon we were all laughing so hard that other people looked over at us and started laughing too.
It was so sweet! When we finally calmed down a little, the lady admitted that she had been fighting these different health issues for over a year! She said, "I don't know why I didn't come up for prayer sooner, but I am really glad I did!"
I wonder how many people go to church week after week, sick in their bodies, and either there is no one to ask for prayer, or they don't think that being healthy and whole is for them, or they just have dealt with the pain so long they don't even notice anymore.
I have seen people healed through Facebook, over the phone, in church, in a Denny's parking lot, at the university, and many other places. Our Father is the Great Physician and He is in the healing business! One of the greatest things I have ever learned, I learned it from Kevin Dedmon when he came and did a 3 day teaching conference at our church last summer. It impacted me so deeply that it still resonates in me today. He said, "It is always God's will to heal."
If anyone out there that reads this needs healing in their body, I invite you to comment or email me and I would LOVE to pray with you and believe God for a miracle!
