God’s Will and Mine Together
Feb 10th, 2010 by admin
Dear friends,
“Then said Martha unto Jesus, Lord, if thou hadst been here, my brother had not died. But I know, that even now, whatsoever thou wilt ask of God, God will give it thee. Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again.” John 11:21-23.
Lori inspired today’s healing prayer letter. Lori is a young woman with an unusual condition. As a side effect of medical treatment she lost the ability to make her own blood. Her immune system is weak and she falls prey to one condition after another. Today we met and prayed and meditated while she was receiving blood. We asked for a message, and this is what we received:
“God’s will and mine together are unstoppable.”
At first we were puzzled by this message. Then we remembered the healings of Jesus, especially the raising of Lazarus as told in the passage above. Jesus joined his will through Christ with God to create the healing. Martha expressed faith in this ability when she said, … “whatsoever thou will ask of God, God will give it thee.” Jesus spoke with certainty when he answered, “Thy brother shall rise again.” They both believed that “together God’s will and my will through Christ are unstoppable,” or their joint will can achieve anything.
In short, we need to think like God to know God’s will.
In order to know God’s will, we need to follow the example of Jesus who had learned to think like God. Since we are not yet miracle workers on the level with Jesus, we do not have the perfect faith and the perfect knowledge of God’s will that are necessary for immediate success. When we learn to think as God, we will know that our healing prayer will be successful, but in God’s time not ours.
Healing is not necessary in God’s perfection, but the best way to learn God’s will is through healing prayer as we work toward perfection. When we join our minds with Christ and ask Him to extend His love to another person to be used for his or her highest good, we are learning to think like Him.
Last week the moon crossed Saturn in Libra, a time for looking at the false idea of death. Then it crossed Pluto in Capricorn, a time for bringing the power of the Phoenix for the renewal of life. Your prayers today can be especially effective when we realize that healing is accomplished when we learn to will totally with God.
Thank you for joining in prayer in the name of Christ.
Peace,
John
