                                "It's Takes A Little Time Sometime!"

                                      “I’m Just Sayin’”

I got a call from an old friend while on my way to work this week. She said she wanted to share some good news. She had emailed others, but she knew I would want to hear this first hand. She proceeded to remind me that she had been having severe back problems for that last few years, going to doctors, fighting with insurance companies who didn’t want to approve her back surgery. She was forced to go through the process of second and third opinions by doctors who agreed she needed the operation, but insurance was not convinced.

If you have ever been in this predicament, you know…insurance companies are sometimes difficult to convince and take too long to decide.

My friend had been praying this whole time that God would touch her back, guide the doctors and give her a miracle.

And still, her back grew worse each year.

She believed God could heal, trusted Him for her healing, but still…no healing!

The insurance company recently finally approved her back surgery, so she scheduled a surgery consultation with her surgeon. She hadn’t seen him in a while, so he asked for her to have MRIs done to see how much more her back had deteriorated since the last time they had MRIs done.

She had them done and went to her appointment.

She had been praying the whole time. The new church she is attending sings a song that talks about “God is going to turnaround, turnaround, turnaround your situation!” She stated she always knew He could…question was …if He would?

Her new Pastor told her that God was going to turn around her situation with her back.

She kept believing. Her new church believed also…they provided a fresh faith!

My friend met with the surgeon that morning, preparing to schedule the surgery.

The surgeon looked at the new MRIs and then looked at the old MRIs…then he looked again!

He looked up at her and said, “I can’t explain it, it’s nothing short of a miracle—you have had a complete turnaround in your back situation. My opinion is… you no longer need back surgery. The back condition has improved so much, we can treat the inflammation without any surgery! A real turnaround!”

She and her husband just shouted! They had gotten their miracle. It just took 4 years to get here!

And, just like her Pastor and that song said, and her doctor repeated—She got her turnaround!

It took fresh faith—and God’s timing!

For those of us who believe in healing, and remember that I do—God healed my heart this past January, confirmed by my cardiologist in March when he said that it was “just like my heart had never had a heart attack!”

Sometimes, healing is not instantaneous—sometimes, it takes a second touch. The first time, you may just see men as trees walking! That’s when God lays His hand on you again and then asks-- What do you see?

Some would settle for seeing men as trees; some would give up and say I guess God is not going to completely heal me; and then there are those who wait for that second touch of the Master’s hand—when the beginning is ended and the healing is complete!

Mark 8:22-25 Talks about Jesus healing the blind man from Bethsaida; He spat in His eyes and asked him what did he see? The blind man said, “I see men as trees walking!” Jesus put His hands on him AGAIN and then asked the blind man what he saw?

The blind man said, “I can see clearly now!”

Whatever healing you may need in your life, physical, emotional, mental, spiritual—don’t give up before He finishes what He started!

It may take fresh faith;

It may take a little time;

It always takes-- GOD’s HEALING HAND!

I for one…believe He still heals!

It may just take a complete turnaround!

Until Next Time

I’m Just Sayin’…
