a God of healing.

I have no other words to explain what happened tonight except for “Jesus.” This afternoon we were participating in a few team bonding activities. In one of our activities I banged my hand on the ground and two of my fingernails were bleeding. My team leader had to grab me a few bandaids just to keep my nails from falling off my fingers. They were falling off because they both had large cracks in them. If any of you have ever popped a fingernail you know how painful that is. About twenty minutes later we came in as a whole group with all the teams and started praying over a girl with a hurt ankle. After our prayer, she stood. She didn’t just stand, she danced. I’m not going to lie, it was hard for me to comprehend what had just happened. Because I couldn’t feel the pain of her hurt ankle it was genuinely hard for me to understand what it felt like after the prayer. We then prayed over a girl with severe back problems. After our prayer, she stood up. She shared that she has had continual back pain for multiple years and that was the first time she hadn’t felt her back in agony. I felt the Holy Spirit telling me to ask for people to pray over my fingers, but I was scared. I didn’t want to be the person that God didn’t heal. A couple minutes later one of the girls asked if she could pray over my fingers. She touched my hand and started praying. Not too long later I felt the Holy Spirit telling me to move my fingers. He wasn’t just telling me though, he was laughing. He was laughing at the fact that I had doubts that he could work miracles, that he could heal the hurting. I started laughing with God because of how foolish I had been. When I picked up my fingers the pain was gone. I looked at my fingernails and the cracks were gone. I started grabbing them and pulling on them in amazement. It says in Jeremiah 17:14, “heal me, Lord, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you you are the one I praise.” God is a miracle working, way making, healing God. I will continue to share and praise Him for his goodness. All glory be to God.
