Often in ‘Christian’ circles, we have considered God as our
only source of healing and that anything else is less than desirable. Many of
us in our pursuit of healing have declared that we are trusting God alone, and
have done nothing but pray, receive prayer and lay our request before Him. I
myself am an example of this. For a number of years, I was struggling with hay
fever, and just kept asking God to heal me. I tried nasal sprays for a while
but did not feel right about what they were doing to my body, so I continued to
suffer the symptoms and ‘trust God’ to heal me.
Well, have I had a change in perspective! Over the past year
I have received such revelation on healing that has blown my religious boxes on
what healing is, what it looks like and where it comes from. Well, it all comes from God ultimately, but
the truth is, MOST HEALING does not come
from God DIRECT to us, it comes in different vehicles. Creation is one such
vehicle of healing that carries the life of God. The power and beauty of creation
to heal is incredible. And why not?! God spoke it into being. It carries HIS
healing voice and resonance.
If you like science to prove things, then just look at the
science of nutrition and the properties of plants to heal. It is fascinating. I
do not need science to tell me that eating natural foods and using natural
medicines are good for me. I know God created all things for our good and I
have experienced the healing power of nature for myself and my family. Nature has power to heal because it is the
VERY NATURE of GOD that is woven into creation. And I fully embrace this
vehicle of healing and wellness. In fact, it was the vehicle that brought me
healing from hay fever.
Another vehicle that carries healing is our own bodies! God
created us with an inbuilt ability to balance, restore and heal. This feature
in our bodies is God Given and also very powerful. When we work WITH our bodies and LISTEN to what our body is telling us
and RESPOND accordingly, we give ourselves permission to heal. This may be
exercise, rest, sleep, eating right… Whatever the body needs, if we listen and
respond, we can experience healing.
There is so much more to explore on this topic, but I will
save it for another day. I am a HUGE believer in healing through prayer and
miracles, and yet I know this is just ONE vehicle of healing. My main
encouragement to you is this… You’re healing is within reach. God wants to heal
you. God has already paid for your healing and made provision for your healing,
BUT He may have placed it on a vehicle that you were not expecting. Maybe you
were like me, crying out for healing from God, and not able to ‘see’ the
healing that was available to you. Open your ‘ears’ to hear today and lift your
‘eyes’ to see today the vehicle for which God is wanting to provide healing for
you. God delights in working through people and through creation…and your
healing awaits you.
Health and Harmony to you and your families,
Raneeta
