Word Testimony: July 3, 2014 - Matthew 5:6 HUNGERING FOR HEALING = HUNGERING FOR RIGHTEOUSNESS = HUNGERING FOR GOD The last few months, I have starved and thirsted for quick healing and health. It has been a little more than four months since the day I had prostate open surgery. And it has not been easy. There were days I would think that I no longer could walk as normally, easily and painlessly as before. There were days I thought I will be consigned to a lifetime of intermittent nights of incontinence. The funny sensations I experienced in the body even during daytime continually scared me as they humiliated me. These sensations bore sensual undertones and pathological overtones. The amazing thing is that today I am back to normal. Practically normal, that is. The nights of incontinence are fading. The intense pain that has paralyzed me at one point, i.e. I literally could not move for a couple of days because of the pains I experienced when walking, is gone. (If not for the pain meds and the nerve-nourishing vitamins, I am certain that I will still be not able to freely move. But amazingly as well I resumed walking the day I started the pain meds and the nerve-nourishing vitamins) About two weeks ago, I have lost the pain sensation associated with movement. And about a week ago, I stopped the pain meds altogether with the remarkable result that I still can move freely and painlessly. Even the funny sensations are no longer there. To what do I attribute all these? The Word of God says, Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness for they shall be filled. God alone is the source of healing. But for healing to come, one must desire it, seek it, and appropriate it by faith in God, in His mercy, His grace and power. The fact is that very few of us in modern conditions of life know what it is to be really hungry or really thirsty. There is so much counterfeit sources of satisfaction to look for, much less hunger for, the true Source. Even we believers find the worlds food junk many times over so tempting that our appetite for God and His righteousness becomes insignificant or outrightly nil. Yet, if we are to be filled with God, His righteousness and all that comes with it - His Presence, His Protection, His Provisions, His healing - one must seek and crave and hunger and thirst for it if he or she is going to have any certain hope of having it. The Lord has brought fearful days of want and uncertainty and He longs to fill me with His Presence. God, I bow down. I give thanks. You have removed the CA, the pain and much more. And replaced these with hope and healing and health. I hunger and thirst for more of You and Your righteousness.
