I have been praying for people for a while! Here’s one testimony. I was in basic training for the army. A lot of times many of the recruits new boots are not broken in or even too small. We are required to walk and ruck miles right away. Even if we notify our drill sergeants there is little sympathy. Anyways. It is something they say you must get used to.
One night my best buddy was sitting on her bunk and she was shaking and yelling. I asked her what was wrong. She said that the skin on the tips of her toes were completely rubbed off. She was shaking in pain and I said,
“Let me pray for them.”
I didn’t want to touch the skin since it hurt so bad so I hovered my hand over her toes and commanded in the name of Jesus for pain to go. And as I expected, it did. Her face relaxed and she was able to sleep that night.
Several days later she said, you know I forgot to tell you because we are so busy but when I woke up the next day after you prayed, the blisters were completely gone. I said something like, good! I expect nothing less.
The Lord heals today and if you are a believer you have that authority over pain to set the afflicted free. It has taken much understanding and effort to get to where I see more healing. Don’t ever stop praying for people and asking for understanding from the Lord. You will bear fruit.
Thanks for sharing, and thank you for your service, too!
Thank you for sharing. Would you please pray for me? I have been bedridden for over two years due to very painful physical illnesses along with anxiety, panic attacks and depression. I feel so low and pray to God every day for healing. Thank you.
Liz, Just prayed for you. Have faith in the Lord. Remember to praise and sing worship songs to God daily. Worship does a few things : 1) it comforts us and lifts our mood 2) it is a weapon against the enemy of our souls (2 Chronicles 20:22) who likes to plague us with fear, depression and so on ( 2 Timothy 1:7) and 3) it brings glory to God and 4) God inhabits the praises of His people (Psalm 22:3) so it brings Him into the space you’re in! Isn’t that great? I’ve also read that praise comforts us. This is something God taught me a couple years ago when I was going through the sickness of a loved one and was afraid that they were going to die (even though God told me they were not, And btw they did not). I’d get so scared and then suddenly would feel the need to sing worship songs and this helped greatly in lifting my mood the help take my eyes off of fear. So put on some good worship tunes and sing your heart out! YouTube is a great source of worship music. God bless you. You will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living.
Amen
Sarah Hann,
What a great testimony! May God give you more opportunities to pray for others and that He’d work through you to speak to and draw others to himself. God bless you and may He keep you safe and walk with you always. That you’d hear His voice behind you saying “This is the way. Walk in it.”. (Is. 30:21)
