REPENT AND BE HEALED!

NETTIE-OLOGY: There are those who expect YHWH to change a particular situation because someone prayed for him or her. I believe in the power of prayer however I also believe that many people don't get the answer they are looking for because they will not change.

TO REPENT IS TO TURN FROM.

Years ago I was diagnosed with Rheumatoid arthritis, the doctor suggested a begin a lifetime treatment of drugs I refused. I have fasted, prayed and had others pray for me as well. I believe I am healed, BUT.....

This morning I awakened to pain, this is nothing unusual, most of my days are influenced by discomfort. But, this morning I was talking to YHWH about my pain and how tired I was of dealing with it. I reminded him that He said my body was restored (a word He gave me last year) and that Yeshua endured 39 stripes so that I would be healed.

ISAIAH 55:11
So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.

"If I send Your word back to You, Father, then everything You spoke should happen!" I challenged YHWH. Yes, I did!
He responded by pointing out all the things I know about diet and exercise and how I have not done what I need to do.  I am expecting my body to be compliant though I am in disobedience.   There are things I know I should eat and there are foods that I should avoid that will help my body heal. I know this.

We want YHWH to act like a magician, wave His wand and "poof" you have what it is you want. He is not a scratch off lottery ticket and prayers are not placed in genie lamps.

I believe answered to prayers can come and leave just as fast as they came because we have not repented.  You pray for healing and you keep smoking. You pray to fix your marriage and you continue not honoring your husband or loving your wife. You want your children delivered yet you keep calling them negative names and not teaching them the love of YHWH.

I know when I eat right and exercise as I should I feel better and then I stop. I really have not repented, I really have not turned from the ways that have kept me bound.

Repentance is a process. It takes time to change your habits, it takes time to adjust your attitude, it takes time to renew your mind.

ROMANS 12:2
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

One of the things I decided long ago was to not tell people what the doctor said. Even though I walk with the assistance of a walking stick, cane, I push myself to do what I can and when I can't I take a break. People will keep you doing what you have been doing, they will remind you of worst case scenarios leading you to doubt the word.

Knowing what I know about arthritis, auto-immune diseases in general, and my body I know that I am healed. I also know that the manifestation of my healing is influenced by my continuing to do this as the world does and not by following the Word.  I know that what I need to do, daily stretches, proper diet eliminating foods that can lead to inflammation and going to a chiropractor ($$$) are things that I can do.

The problem is never YHWH it is always with the Believer, His word never returns to Him not having done what He declared it to do.
