As I read through the Gospels I continually see people being healed just by asking. Why is it so hard for us to receive healing today? I find it so very difficult. I need healing and ask for it. Why do I not receive it?

As I read through the Gospels I continually see people being healed just by asking. Why is it so hard for us to receive healing today? I find it so very difficult. I need healing and ask for it. Why do I not receive it? There is no one size fits all answer to that question. I don't know the mind of God. I will say this. There is no question in my mind that you are getting better. You seem like a different person than you were when you first signed up here. Sometimes healing comes immediately, and sometimes it comes slowly. Just don't give up or get discouraged. Keep believing. We will keep believing with you. Take care sister.

And when he had come near, He asked him, saying,
What do you want Me to do for you?..." - Luke 18:40-41

Dezi, i just had a real bad back injury. i am not 100% yet. the pain was so intense it was hard to draw a breath. mobility was a real struggle. i used my down time to press into God. today i can say I thank God for all of it. it was not fun, but i was able to draw near to Him. He showed me some stuff that will forever change how i read scripture. showed me stuff going on in the earth, in the sky. in peoples hearts, including my own. I called on Him as soon as the pain began to set in. He did not take it. the important thing to remember here Dezi is all things work to the good for those who are called according to His purpose, and who love God. He only Gives good gifts, and He knows what He is doing. so dont even for a moment doubt His love for you, or think He dont know everything you are going thru. He loves you. its hard to speak on God's mind. He aint so forthcoming with all that all the time, and when He is it is a perspective changer most times. There was once a man who God used so mightily He had to humble him so he wouldnt think he was something special. And this man asked God to take this thorn from his side, and God told Paul... my grace is sufficient for you. He dont always do what we want or how we want. we do not always get our way. it may be He is just using this to draw you to Him because He knows you will keep pursuing. maybe its a test for you. I cant say for certain. Job said tho He slay me, I will trust Him. and thats whats up. just trust Him. Let Him be God. let Him be God when you are on the mountain top... and let Him be God in your life when you are in the valley. One day you will be healed, on this side of eternity?... only He knows. I would recommend to settle it in your heart to where you can pray this and mean it... ok God i asked you to heal me, but even if you dont right now i will serve you. I will carry my cross and come after you. You are my portion. You are my life LORD. Besides you there is no other that will do... Let me be in your will this day.

Honestly, I too, had wondered for years why about "healing." So many preachers proclaim verses such as "by His stripes we are healed" and "I am the Lord who heals you", yet the majority of believers go away physically untouched. For 3 years running I was up in Spokane for the Healing Rooms conferences, with thousands attending, hundreds prayed for, yet everyone who came in a wheelchair left in a wheelchair. This caused me to begin to study theses and other verses on "Healing" in their Biblical context. And going into the Scripture with all religious filters set aside, and seeking the mind of God, I began to learn some Truth I had not seen before. I share a little on this in a couple videos I did last year - On Healing and On Healing (part 2) - looking at verses on healing in their Biblical context.
God's wisdom and understanding to us all, Michael Thanks for the link. I don't have time this evening, but I will try to check those videos out soon, as I am interested in what you have to say on this topic.

I have said that scripture quite a few times during this time of trying to heal from Benzodiazepines. I am still quite messed up as a result of it. But, I will not turn from the Truth. I pray I don't anyway. I have come so far. But, the main thing I continue to wonder is how and why I have agoraphobia still. It's the reason I was put on these meds to begin with. I still have two more meds to come off of. I pray God will get me through.

Maybe Gods will for you is more than just healing from these drugs. Some times it takes a good amount of time for us to be able to see these kind of things.
Sometimes God does not pluck us out of situations. Sometimes He does not come in and fix all out problems, especially those we made for ourselves. sometimes we have to live with the consequences. I do not say that to say you did wrong by taking the meds, please do understand that i speak in a much broader sense of life, and not just to you and your situation. here is a scripture though God showed me before concerning "building His temple" and our body is His temple....
1Ch 28:20 And David said to Solomon his son, Be strong and of good courage, and do it: fear not, nor be dismayed: for the LORD God, even my God, will be with thee; he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the LORD.
God was telling me be strong and do it... He is with me and he will help me. sometimes this is the best deal we get. I do not think there is a formula to get God to move, He does as He wills.
I am going to pray for you about these things you have spoken of, even on your strength to remain faithful and not be overcome.

Thank you Cletus! I am learning about generational curses and I certainly think that is a big part of why I have had all the illnesses in my life. I am trying to learn how to get some deliverance for these things too.

Why are you afraid to be alone?
I had a friend who suffered from this for many years and his reason was because once he thought he was having a heart attack, and there was no one around to save him or call for help. This started it all off, and he was put on many medications.

I have PCOS (a hormone disorder) which causes the body to have severe anxiety... when I was young I didn't know I had it and I had so many random panic attacks that I developed phobias. Now I am trying to get free from the medications and the withdrawals cause severe panic and anxiety. So, it's hard to really know what is what right now.
