Jesus wants to heal all your diseases. The thing is many Christians openly wonder about that. And many people have become former Christians because they ask why does God not heal me.

I actually completely get this, and it needs to be addressed.

1 Corinthians 7:4 The wife does not have authority over her own body, but the husband does. And likewise, the husband does not have authority over his own body, but the wife does.

The Bible is a marriage contract, and we are the Bride of Christ. When you come to Jesus, you give yourself to Jesus, not just your heart but all of you. So, Jesus can use you to bring people to Jesus through your life. But I want to be healed. this doesn’t seem fair that I am not. 

Read I Corinthians 15:51-58. It says that death has no power of us and that one day we will have a perfect body in heaven. We will be in heaven for a very long time. That is comforting, but what about now? We do seem to focus on the now, don’t we?

We want to please the one we love, and Jesus wants to put you in a position for His glory to shine through, so others can experience THE HEALING (salvation) in their lives.

In college I had an injury that caused seizures. I claimed to be healed in Jesus’ name. I refused to take the medicine. Guess what, I still had seizures. I prayed for them to go away, and they kept coming and I got mad at God. Then I started taking the medication, and they still came, and I was even more mad at God. I then tried all kinds of other things, and they still came. Then one day, I was like Whatever God, just heal me. Now when I said whatever it was not a nice conversation, but God knows your heart. God said listen to your wife. My wife had been telling me to take my meds and do what I needed to do from the doctors. God said I need you to be a witness to them. I said OK. Since then, I have not had one episode in 10 years. The doctors still have no idea why I had them to begin with and have no idea why I don’t have them now since nothing seemed to work before. Now I go to the doctor’s for my meds, and I share my testimony that I would not be able to share before.

God gives us a right to not have to worry about the disease and live an amazing life despite it. What is healing, making something better than it was.

If you are a believer, you have the guarantee that you have a perfect body waiting for you that will never get sick and tired again! So, can God be putting you in a position to bring someone to Jesus through what is going on? When we look at it like that and say! go ahead and use me anyway you want, the amazing will happen.

Back to being Jesus’ bride. Do you think Jesus wants to hurt or shame you. Absolutely not. He wants to shine His glory through you in a way that gets others attention, and where you also experience something amazing!

God is not looking for fair weather Christians, He is looking for the faithful. Faithful no matter what. When we become that, the stuff we want to see will happen because we are His bride!

Remember Jesus loves you; I love you, and you are awesome!
