I Am Healed Monday

I want to just share an experience that I had last week in the hope that it will encourage someone along the way. Last Wednesday afternoon we were together for our Noon Day Prayer time at the church. I confessed some emotional trauma I was experiencing as a result of my daughter being involved in a car accident and asked for prayer. Several of our beautiful, godly people of prayer took that request to the Lord and I felt lifted. One of our humble, elderly prayer warriors prayed for me and on top of what I requested she was also moved to pray for my body. I did not share with the group the involuntary muscle spasms I had been dealing with for a couple of days in my shoulder and upper right arm. When the sister prayed for the Lord to touch my body, and I don't even know why she did that, the spasms that were occurring instantly left and did not return. That simple prayer of faith brought instant relief to my mild condition and I didn't even ask for it. I relate that story for at least two reasons. First of all, God is so good that He blessed me with the emotional strength I asked for and the physical healing I didn't even ask for. The second thing is I considered that issue to be so mild that I didn't even mention it, but God cared enough to touch me anyway. Sometimes it's the discernment and the faith of others that becomes the vehicle for our blessing. James 5:15 and the prayer offered in faith will restore the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up, and if he has committed sins, they will be forgiven him.
