BURDENED ABOUT SICKNESS? TRUST GOD!

(October 31, 2024) Robert McQuillan shares sincerely…

Since I shared back in June (COMPASSIONATE GOD AND DIVINE HEALING | Connecting with You!) about trusting God for divine healing and acknowledging that He is the healing, miracle-working God, several folk have thanked me, others have asked to learn more. Some have mentioned about illnesses and some about how sicknesses and growing older (that dreaded aging thing!) have restricted their ministry and effectiveness in serving God.

I simply tell people to trust God implicitly, not to be concerned about age (David was a kid whereas Moses is regarded as an old man when commissioned by God. Many ‘old’ Christians have continued to effectively serve the Lord… for example David Hathaway 92-year-old Evangelist to Hold Ukraine Rally).

But I also suggest relaxing and pulling back from some aspects of ministry and other matters if necessary. I’ve personally had to do so, yet the Lord keeps opening doors to witness and pray for people including strangers. Most importantly I tell people, especially Christians, not to neglect the advice of the medical profession.

COMPASSIONATE GOD – DIVINE HEALING

(June 30, 2024) Robert McQuillan sincerely shares…

Many years ago when a Pentecostal pastor whom I had never before requested me to teach his church on faith healing, I really threw him when I initially declined. When asked why, I replied that although faith is involved, godly healing is not faith healing but divine healing.

I went on to share that there had been times when I prayed for healing for those who either had no real faith or very little, even non-Christians, and by God’s grace they got relieved, either at the time – in the case of pain – or as I learned later.

Several scriptures in both Testaments shine with God’s compassion – and His Son’s. I’d simply exercised faith as I claimed God’s compassion, quoted His word and prayed in Jesus’ name.

Compassionate Divine Healing
Faith in God is tops… but even Christians can be weak in exercising of faith!

There’s an old saying – ‘Life is life… and bad things can/may happen even to Christians!’ And there’s a number of things that can result in people being sick, such as the following –

DIVINE, NOT FAITH, HEALING!

(February 14, 2022) Robert McQuillan shares…

Personally, I strongly believe in God’s power to heal whoever calls on Him when sickness strikes.

It used to be common that Christians testified on Sundays about having asked God for healing and how He had answered them! They wanted to share how trusting God and His word had resulted. But for many years trendy music, overdone announcements and tithing mini-sermons have been more important!

Today, in many churches it’s a rarity to invite slickly people to respond to an altar call for prayer in respect of needed miracles.

Don’t church leaders believe in the power of God’s word regarding healing? Have they forgotten how to pray with confidence? Has the great truth of divine, not faith, healing by God’s power been forgotten, no longer understood?

Positive power words
Maureen and I delight to pray positively for sickly folk, having experienced several divine healings – and miracles – ourselves over a lifetime.

Example: Years ago we were asked to teach a church camp about healing and praying for the sick. But… Friday I suddenly developed a severely sore throat, and couldn’t talk.

Now I could have phoned and hoarsely whispered a negative ‘I can’t come Saturday.’ But I didn’t. Instead we stayed overnight enroute with good friends who made me a cosy bed on a comfortable couch before a roaring log fire. Feeling so ill, I enjoyed a hot drink, sucked honey and relaxed.

Appreciating the comforts, I prayed positively to God, asking in Jesus’ name that He graciously heal me, confirming that I trusted Him to restore me. Even claimed a healing scripture that means so much to me… 1 Peter 2:24b: ‘By His wounds (stripes) you have been healed,’ and endeavoured to fall asleep.
