Healed?

Healing:

Over the years we hear people in the Lord and out claim, they have been healed of their

illness or health crisis. They come through the situation but have to manage it with medicine or some other care. They say, they are healed but is taking medicine or another method of care because of the after effects of the illness or health crisis. Are they or have they really been healed? They associate being healed because the illness is not as bad anymore or again, managed, so, healing is declared. Across the board we have accepted this thought and not challenged it because we or the individual didnt die, over came or is overcoming, so we claim as others declare, GOD healed.

When we look in the scriptures, there are no examples of healing being partial or done over

the course of time. The examples in the scriptures has always shown when a healing took

place, it was always a complete healing. The scriptures does not show partial healing and

there is residuals or things you have to deal with continually from the illness or health crisis. The example of the woman with the issue of blood, the man with the withered hand, the blind man and the clay made from spittle or Lazarus brought back from the dead, all were made whole complete with no after affect in body or mind. So, what is happening when we go though an illness or health crisis and have to take medicine or do other things to help dealwith whatever it is in day to day life? The answer is, GOD is sustaining you. His is keeping you alive by the method deemed according to his will.

Sustained:

So what is sustaining? Sustaining or keeping you is the same as GOD raining on the just as

well as the unjust. He is supplying your need in the midst of what you are going through

though it can't be a healing. Paul was sustained in his infirmity or thorn in the flesh, and sought GOD for to remove it, but GOD told him, my grace is sufficient. 2 Corinthians 12:5-10. Pauls friend, Epaphroditus Phil. 2:25-30, was sustained in his illness which was a near death situation. The evidence of being sustained and not healed is seen during and after a illness or medical crisis when medicine is taken or other things to help in day to day things.

Heart conditions, diabetes, high cholesterol, joint pains and on and on. All examples of

individuals having illnesses but being sustained by GOD with medicines. GOD sustaining us

in life to deal with the situation in life but it's not healing. In sustaining us we understand that the act of being healed did not happen, but GOD through his mercy sustained you to live in it and through it, day to day with medicine or other methods of sustaining. We then begin to understand that GOD delivered from death to live this life in a manner before him.

Delivered:

Though delivered can mean completely healed, but for this understanding, delivered is an

act of mercy through sustaining. In GOD, sustaining during the illness or medical crisis, you

can claim he has delivered because the situation is being managed for daily life according to

his will. The grateful attitude and praise to GOD is given for what he has done with

understanding what has happened so not to be quick to call it healed, but to know GOD has

sustained you in life to proclaiming, delivered. Delivered because he brought you through it

to a manageable situation and it wasnt unto death at that time.. Even if there are life long

issues that needs to be dealt with by medicine or other methods of keeping the situation to a

degree of comfort and of life sustaining, it isn't healing but the mercies of GOD.
