Happily Ever After

I've been learning that God can speak to us any way He wants. So I was looking on my news feed and I saw a post from the Disney Princess page (yes I'm a big princess fan!):

"At the stroke of twelve, the spell will be broken and everything will be as it was before."

-Fairy godmother

This saying was from one of my favorite princess movies Cinderella. I looked at the saying that I had heard so many times and it was like I was hearing for the first time... Poor Cinderella! She had everything, great clothes, a personal carriage, a fairy godmother, true love...then she had to give it up after just a few hours. And knowing that she may never get to experience anything like that again. Then a thought hit me...

"What if it was like that with God?"

What if you have had been in a lot of pain, and then one night God shows up big and heals you from everything? But then after the stroke of 12 everything went back the way it was before? 

I have been living right in the middle of revival and when people decide to make it a lifestyle, healing and miracles are sure to follow. So I have seen people get healed, but then a few days or not even that long they are right back in the same pain that they were in before. 

Why would a good God do that? Why tease with healing, when it's not going to last?

Well let me put your mind to ease...He doesn't. He doesn't give us gifts like that only to take it back. God isn't like the fairy godmother who's magic has a expiration date. But you may say"I've been healed before but now I'm back in pain.".

Yes I know, I have experienced the same thing! But here is the deal: the enemy doesn't want you well. Because if you are, then you can serve God, holding nothing back. 

The devil just wants to see if you really want to keep your gift. 

He will try and tell you lies, that it's not real, that you are just imaging it. And if we let ourselves believe those lies, we welcome back the pain we were just set free from. 

There is a lady in my church who was healed in her neck and shoulders just a few weeks ago. She had been dealing with pain and discomfort for a long time, then God healed her! Today she told me that the pain tried to come back. But she said no, that she was healed and the pain left! 

I've talked about it before, but our confessions (words) matter so much more than we know! Hold fast to what God does in you. He is not a man that he should lie. He is a good Father. So if you have been healed, hold on to your promise. Then go release what you were given! It's too much fun! 

Be like Cinderella, when it looked bad she kept holding on to her dream. Never doubting, and she lived happily ever after.

Do you need a miracle? Do you need healing in your body? Comment below and I'll pray for you!
