Tonight we want to continue on the topic of healing anointing. We find an inconsistency between what we believe and what we experience. If you have heard messages on healing, you would have noticed inconsistencies in Christian experience almost universally but from time to time you find that there is a breakthrough. But most of the time the inconsistency is between what we believe, what we read in the bible and what we experience. The reason is because people don’t understand the difference between healing through the anointing and healing through the exercise of personal faith. There are two ways you can get healed, either by the anointing or by personal faith. Remember God chooses whether He wants to heal you by the anointing or whether He wants you to exercise your faith.



Do you remember in Phil. 2 when Paul was writing about Epaphroditus? He was sick and Paul said he nearly died. This was the same Paul of Acts 19 where great signs and wonders followed him, even through handkerchiefs he had laid hands on. This is the same Paul who brought tremendous healing. Remember Acts 14 the man who was born lame was healed. This is the same miracle worker Paul and now his good friend Epaphroditus his co-laborer was sick. And all he could do was travail to God. The reason is that at certain times for certain reasons God requires personal faith to be exercised. And Epaphroditus got his healing through intercessory prayer, travailing and faith and not by the anointing. Oftentimes, we are only interested in the outward, the immediate and in the temporal. God is interested in our ultimate. That means God is interested in your life while you may just be interested in that healing.



So sometimes God sees through the corridor of time and chooses the option that renders us the best long lasting benefit. If you obtain your healing instantly through a healing anointing, you would be grateful to God and worship Him. However, if your gratitude is short-lived and you forget God soon after, apparently that healing did little spiritual good to you. But if you are made to obtain your healing through travailing prayer and confessing the word with faith, you end up with both the healing and a character strong in trusting and persistent prayer. It did you much lasting spiritual good. To get that healing, you had to exercise your faith and discipline your devotional life. You have to change certain things in your life. You have to do certain things in your life. Or you have to grow up in areas in your life in order to get that faith working to get your personal healing. When you come out of that battle of faith, God sees that you are going to be of tremendous use to the body of Christ. He will choose for you to have it that way. You may obtain healing all the time but the methods God chooses for you will fit into His ultimate plans and purposes.
