Life Can Hurt But God Can Heal

Life can really hurt sometimes, can’t it? Whether it’s something we bring on ourselves or it’s something that just happens, there are times when life just really hurts.

Even though we know that life can sometimes be a painful struggle, we also know that there is help for the pain. Life can hurt but God can heal. God can do amazing things in our lives and heal us from our hurts.

All through the Bible we see examples of God miraculously healing someone from their physical ailments. And probably most of us can attest to seeing someone who’s been miraculously healed from a physical ailment.

In 2014 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. The Doctor gave me 1 year to live. After I had surgery to remove a grapefruit-size tumor from my bladder, I was sure I would die. I began seeking God more than ever. I decided that I was going to give satan the fight of his life. And I would end up winning. I listened carefully and obeyed God’s every word. The doctors said they couldn’t even see a trace of the cancer. And I was the closest I’ve ever been with God.

We have all read about healing or we’ve seen them with our own eyes. But I think that many times we miss the point of the miracles that God had done. We seem to think that the miracle was about freeing someone of their physical discomfort. But we need to understand that when God works a miracle of physical healing it’s most to present a picture of spiritual healing,

This is deemed true for several reasons. First of all physical healings are selective. Not everyone gets healed of their physical problems. The Apostle Paul himself asked God to heal his disease (the thorn in his flesh) but God kept saying “no.” Obviously there was a bigger purpose from His plan other than immediate healing.

If you think about it physical healings are temporary. Every person in the Bible who was miraculously healed in some way eventually died. People throughout history who have been healed by God died. Physical healings are temporary.

But when God does choose to physically heal someone, the reaction of everyone who saw it or experienced it shows us that when God works a miracle of physical healing it’s mostly to present a picture of spiritual healing.

Too often we focus on the miracle when we should be focused on the message of the miracle. The message that spiritual healing is available to us.

Yes, we should pray for miracles to relieve the suffering of sicknesses. It’s biblical. Many times God works as a result of our prayers. But when He does work a miraculous healing of the most, look at the picture of how He can heal our souls.

There are many people who need healing, but many people also need spiritual healing. Our souls, our spirit, our lives are plagued with sickness and even death. Life can hurt, but God can heal.

Whatever the sickness is God wants to heal us. Maybe our sickness is because of our sins. Our thought life is sick with impurity. Our attitude is sick with negativity, Our self-discipline is sick with weakness. Our relationships are such with unforgiveness.

I completely believe that my bladder cancer was because of my unforgiveness i had carried all of my life. Sometimes we don’t deal with the spiritual sickness in our lives. And if we let them go untreated for too long than that sickness kills the area of our lives in was infecting.

Untreated illness can lead to death -physically and spiritually. If there’s an area of your life that seems to be dead, trust God for a spiritual resurrection. God can resurrect the dead areas in our lives, we must simply have to trust Him.
