It’s time to give glory to God by sharing my testimony about the work God has done in my knees. \u00a0As you may remember from a previous blog post (http:\/\/www.themoehrings.com\/index.php\/2010\/08\/bait-and-switch<\/a>), I received a prophetic word that “God would heal my wounds completely”. \u00a0Considering I was there to pray for the healing of my knees which were causing me great pain, this prophetic word really touched me. \u00a0Yet, time passed and I didn’t see any changes. \u00a0Late last year I realized that I was not approaching my healing from a position of real faith, in fact I was\u00a0appalled\u00a0to realize that I had accepted the idea that surgery would someday be inevitable due to a catastrophic failure of one or both of my knees, and that I would somehow receive God’s healing through that event in the form of a skilled surgeon. \u00a0It also bothered me deeply that Rebecca was very concerned that I would not be able to enjoy my grand kids or our golden years together due to difficulty with mobility. \u00a0It gave me added resolve so seek after this healing so late last year I again had\u00a0a prayer team pray for me the healing of my knees. \u00a0One of the things this prayer team challenged me to do was to consider that Jesus has already done everything necessary to assure my healing. \u00a0Books and books have been written about this subject, but as far as I can tell, they pretty much boil down to a few points:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. God loves his children more than any parent ever loved their children. \u00a0 When a child scrapes a knee, doesn’t the parent do everything possible to reduce the pain, help the healing, and take away the tears? \u00a0How much more so then, a heavenly father for which all things are possible, will care for us when we scrape our knees.<\/li>\n
  2. Christ’s death on the cross was not just for our salvation, but it was the healing of our mind, body, and spirit. \u00a0Christ’s death nullified the curse brought on by the fall of Adam and Even for those who listen to him and believe in the father.<\/li>\n
  3. Christ taught us to pray that what is true in heaven should also be true on earth. \u00a0Therefore, because there is no pain in heaven, it is sub-standard to accept pain in the body of a believer. \u00a0It is not from God, it is not God’s will, and God wants to remove that pain from the life of the believer.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Although I had no glorious moment of instant healing that we scoff about on TV, and although I on\u00a0occasion\u00a0I still experience some discomfort, I have seen AMAZING <\/strong>improvement that I am so excited about! \u00a0My knees literally haven’t felt this good since I was about 16 years old!<\/p>\n

    But I’m a skeptic, through and through. \u00a0I didn’t want to blog about a healing without KNOWING that God was at work. \u00a0So I told myself that I would trust in the Lord, put this healing to the test, and wait until the end of the next volleyball season. \u00a0I went cold turkey: \u00a0no knee braces, no ibuprofen, no glucosamine, no whining.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
