When God Does Not Heal
The
following comes from Amazing Stories
& Daily Devotionals Day 35
Randy
Frieouf was a member of our church who suffered with ALS, also known as Lou
Gehrig’s disease. As the months passed, his health continued to worsen. He was
confined to a wheel chair, and finally to a bed. Many people were praying for
him during this time.
One
day my thirteen-year-old daughter Hannah said, “Dad, I had a dream last
night that Mr. Frieouf was walking.” I told her, “Let’s keep praying for
him. All things are possible with God.”
The
next week Hannah told me, “Dad, last night I had another dream that Mr.
Frieouf was walking!” Again, I encouraged her to keep praying for him.
Not
long after this, we received the phone call that Randy had passed away. When
Hannah heard the news, she got upset and hurried into the bedroom. A few
minutes later, she came out of the room and said, “Dad, I asked God why Mr.
Frieouf died after I had those dreams. God just spoke to me.”
“He
did? What did He say?”
“He
told me to read Psalm 1:1, but just the first part. Dad, I didn’t know what
that verse said, so I looked it up. God told me to read just the first part of the verse.”
She
held out an open Bible and read from it. “The first part of Psalm 1:1 says, ‘How blessed is the man who does not walk.’
Dad, the man who does not walk is Mr. Frieouf! Do you think He told me this to
let me know he is happy in heaven?”
“Yes,
that’s exactly why He told you that,” I said. “He wants you to know that he’s
healed and blessed in heaven.”
It’s a reminder to us
that Christians who are not healed on earth will receive complete wholeness in
heaven. www.makinglifecount.net www.kentcrockett.blogspot.com
