Lebanese Druze man experiences a measure of healing
Last night Isaac of Ninevah and I met with with a Lebanese Druze man with a seriously injured shoulder - after falling and dislocating it, he has been in pain and with very limited movement for several months. He has received prayer a couple of times from a couple of Christian friends but it still remained a problem. We met with him to pray once again and we had a chance to pray for his shoulder maybe 5 or 6 times - breaking off the shock and trauma from the accident, releasing the Kingdom of God and also coming against any spiritual forces of darkness hindering him from being healed. The Druze (another Middle Eastern religion) are very open to ministry and he allowed us to pray as much as we wanted.
We saw him regain a significant range of motion and movement - probably about 40% better than when we started but we couldn't get any further breakthrough. We have scheduled another time to pray with him later this week. We will ask the Lord for insight and a strategy for the that prayer time. In the mean time, we prayed he would be visited by an angel.
Praying for the sick has a mysterious element. Sometimes we see total healing and other times we see 50%, 75% or even 90%. I know when we look at the ministry of Jesus, our "model" of course is 100% but we must also acknowledge that we are growing in grace and faith and have yet to arrive at full maturity. Maturity IS A PROCESS as we grow in the grace of God regardless of the what the extreme grace teachers are mistakenly teaching (see my previous post - "The Grace Deformation" - http://joel2generation.blogspot.com/2014/04/the-grace-deformation.html).
We continue to grow into greater maturity in praying for the sick. We continue to learn new things. We trust in God's sovereignty as He anoints us with measures of His power even as He grows us into greater places of faith. We press on.
