Today’s blog post is about the man with the withered hand. If you know the story, Jesus instructs him to ‘stretch forth his hand’ and his healing followed.
We’ll consider 5 ways we can become ‘withered’ on our healing journeys and in life. Then we’ll look at how we can gradually ‘stretch’ ourselves in a tolerable way that invites healing.
Let’s dive in

I think you’ll agree that being patient in affliction is challenging, especially if illness has continued for many years.
With God, how we wait matters and how we occupy this waiting time is significant.
I remember being at my wits end, even suicidal; the months were now years and still no breakthrough. I’m sure some of you can relate?
So today, I’m going to show you the 5 ways I introduced some kind of contentment back into my life so I could be patient in the affliction.
You don’t want to prolong this painful season more than is necessary so I invite you through this post to invest in good waiting habits that glorify God, ease frustration and invite transformation.
Today we consider Job’s infamous three friends; (let’s face it, we’ve all got them.)
You know, those ‘helpful’ Christians who tell you what you’ve done wrong in your life to cause suffering.
I will offer a deeper perspective as to why they behave in that way, and suggest 5 steps you can implement to guard your heart from their hurtful comments.

Today’s post is about Job’s healing.
Have you turned to the book of Job for guidance in your journey? It’s a difficult book to read and easy to misunderstand. I hope this post will explain things a little for you.
I’m going to give you 5 lessons from the book of Job, I think are fundamental to the healing journey. I also include the truth behind a couple of myths that you may be believing.
So if you’re concerned that God is granting permission to the devil to attack you or that He is ready and waiting to take your life away, then you can relax.
These are erroneous teachings, taken from those who misunderstand what the book of Job is all about.
So let’s get started:
Today we look at the God’s perfect description of sickness, found in John 10:10: It is your enemy and has the sole purpose to kill, steal and destroy.
Do you feel robbed? This verse shows us that God is not the author of your suffering.
By reading this post, you’ll gain an understanding of the three descriptions that God gives sickness which will feed your faith for healing and eliminate any doubt that God wants you well.
Otherwise, you’ll believe one of the many myths: that God is waiting for you to deal with something…..God is teaching you a lesson or chastising you…etc’.

Today we learn the biblical definition of the word ‘testimony’ (and it’s probably not what you think.) Plus the 5 best reasons to share your testimony today.
Do you need a miracle healing? The key to your breakthrough may very well be in the mouth of someone else.
Someone’s healing depends on what you carry. Your Testimony:
If the woman with the issue of blood needed to hear about Jesus (aka someone’s healing testimony), in order to receive healing, then the same is true of us.
And, we all love a good story.
When I taught Nursery aged children, I always read a Bible story on a Friday. The children would listen attentively with their jaws open wide, savouring every word from the Children’s Bible.
What is more exciting than a man who ends up in the tummy of a fish or in the lion’s den? Our testimonies point people to the wonder and amazement of our Father who longs for people to see his miraculousness.
Testimonies are real life stories of God’s goodness; so much better than Holywood!

If I were to support someone on a healing journey, I would always start by checking how they experience the Father’s heart.
“And we have known and believed the love that God has for us. God is love, and he who abides in love abides in God, and God in him.” 1 john 4:16
You might be thinking ‘of course I know that God loves me’. But to know that God loves you, and to experience the Father’s heart intimately are not the same.
One is cognitive, the other experiential.

Sometimes on a healing journey it’s easy to unconsciously develop legalistic thinking, but this is the wrong foundation and could keep us battling illness.
Today we’re going to look at 4 things that happen when we develop legalistic thinking and how they keep us bound in sickness.
Does the communion bread heal your body? Today I look at the healing power of the Holy Communion
Surely a small piece of bread cannot possibly heal an incurable illness?
I mean, it would be completely wonderful but it really does sound quite far fetched and almost too good to be true, doesn’t it?
