I have been asking, praying and believing for inner healing for twenty years - this has not been a prayer for an ingrown toe nail - this is raw, life threatening (at times) painful stuff. I have asked and asked and asked.

Twenty years is a long time. I would go through brief seasons where I would get really angry with God and ask him - Hello? are you listening? I see people get healed all the time - why will you not just take ONE step in my direction? Just do something PLEASE.

This week I purposed that if I had to go/ask/get prayer, whatever 500 times to get mine, I would and I wouldn't count how many times I have asked.

I got a phone call yesterday about a revival in a tiny church I have never attended. The lady told me that there had been miracles, healings and deliverances there. I went, although honestly I was a bit skeptical as it just doesn't seem to happen for me.

The whole message he preached was for ME - seriously, not just saying that (and he even said that when he prayed for me).

I didn't tell him what I needed or anything and BAM he was so dead on it was not even remotely funny. Amazingly? No one I knew was there at all because it was my appointed time - this "stuff' is deeply personal and private and not something you'd want the general public to know (suffice it to say, I was raised by wolves - bad stuff).

It was so amazing - God touched me and I AM different.

I just want to encourage you - keep asking. Don't stop asking because it hasn't happened yet - it could be the very next time and you could well be giving up five minutes before the miracle. Seriously, just keep pressing it can happen for you too.

Twenty years is a long time to wait, I know, but even this little bit - is so worth it.

hooray!

I didn't SEE even a peak of an answer for 22years.
I still do not have complete healing, but Rx dosage that was continuously increasing dropped back & has now platoed a little more than what it was 20(+) years ago.
PRAISE GOD!
And whether I receive complete healing on earth or in heaven is in His capable hands.

I had to laugh.

It was "kinda" short lived as I am still delivered, but I have come to realize I am still kind broken and feeling overwhelmed.

I get the same advice everywhere I go - keep asking.

So that is what I will do, even if I don't "wanna"

:D

It's all good - I'll get mine someday!

This is encouraging. God set it up that you would hear His voice it sounds like.

Keep seeking Him and bless you.
