Cling to God’s promises! – Sis. Stella Dhinakaran

The Lord is with me; I will not be afraid. What can mere mortals do to me? (Psalm 118:6)
Are you in agony saying, ‘Oh, I suffer from headache’, or ‘I have this terrible disease’ and so on? Claim the promises of God for yourself. The Bible says in Proverbs 4:22, ‘they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh’, so the Word of God will heal you. “Whoever dwells in the shelter of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. He will cover you with his feathers, and under his wings you will find refuge; his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart, nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness, nor the plague that destroys at midday” (Psalm 91:1,4 & 6). Yes, the shadow of the Most High comes upon you; He covers you with His feathers; you have refuge under His mighty wings, He gives you the grace not to be afraid of any disease.

We may boldly say, “The Lord if my helper; I will not fear” (Hebrews 13:6. Psalm 118:6). “In God I trust and am not afraid. What can mere mortals do to me?” (Psalm 56:4). You too can says this! Like David when you cling on to Him firmly, He will remove all your fears. He will give you deliverance, healing and health in abundance. Several years back, the wife of a servant of God suffered from severe bleeding. The doctors who tested her advised for hysterectomy and her family too agreed for this since they feared that otherwise it might lead to cancer. However, being filled with the love of Jesus, she said in faith, “I have placed my entire trust in the Lord, who is able to heal me and so I am not afraid. He will surely grant me total recovery. He will give me good health.” According to her firm faith, the Lord had healed her completely. After many years, the doctor was amazed to see her in perfect health.

“Nevertheless, I will bring health and healing to it; I will heal my people and will let them enjoy abundant peace and security” (Jeremiah 33:6). How true is the promise of the Lord. Yes, He Himself had healed her so wonderfully that the doctor was amazed. The Lord has promised, “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand” (Isaiah 41:10). Hold on to His promise firmly and you shall live with deliverance and good health. “For or no matter how many promises God has made, they are “Yes” in Christ. And so through him the “Amen” is spoken by us to the glory of God” (2 Corinthians 1:20).

Prayer:
Loving Lord,

I believe in Your promises for my life. I put my trust in You. Deliver me from this sickness. Free me from all my troubles. Give me good health and heal me. Let me be strengthened and enjoy the abundant life You have promised to give me. Thank You for Your promise that You will never leave my side. Uphold me by Your strong arm.

This I pray in Jesus’ name, Amen.
