The Answer is in His Word – Jasmine’s Journey of Healing
As Sept 19 gets closer (when we will take Jasmine to one of Mahesh Chavda’s healing services) I am more and more determined to grow my faith and believe that God is going to heal her.
Today as I was talking with her, Jasmine began sharing with me some of the symptoms that she still deals with on a daily basis. Burning pain, stabbing pain, and brain fog were just a few. After our conversation my heart was heavy once again with how much and how long she has suffered with this lyme disease. I took my heaviness to God because there’s no one else who can fully feel Jasmine’s pain and who has the answers she needs.
As I talked with God I felt the Holy Spirit tell me to look up Psalm 91 and pray it over Jasmine. I’ve read this chapter many times but decided to look it up in a new version, The Passion. I wasn’t prepared for how powerfully it would equip me to pray for Jasmine. The entire chapter is beautiful, but I want to share the verses that renewed my hope in God as her healer.
“When we live our lives within the shadow God Most High, our secret hiding place, we will always be shielded from harm. How then could evil prevail against us or disease infect us?” (verses 9-10) This version specifically addresses disease and how God’s presence will shield us from it. I suddenly knew why the Holy Spirit led me to this Scripture. I took the time tonight to write out most of the chapter as I inserted her name in the verses.
Together with 3 of my close prayer warrior friends, I am going to fast and pray this chapter over Jasmine’s life as I prepare to take her to the healing service in just a couple of days. God is pleased when we have faith and faith comes by the Word of God.
