The Healer

I heard God speak to me as I fell asleep last night that I have the gift of healing. Umm..ok, God, that could be a little strange and scary. Where do I go with that? Do I just lay hands on someone and claim their healing for them? What does this look like? What will my spiritual heads say when I tell them this? All of this going through my mind as I try to fall asleep. An hour or so later, I am well into the land of dreams, when I am awakened by my husband. “Katy* is at the door, she is crying and needs to talk to us.” Good grief, I admit, was my first thought. But as soon as I rounded the corner from the bedroom to the living room, and saw the broken mama sitting crying on my couch cradling her toddler, while Lane cradled her baby, the grief I felt was not “good”. And it was all very familiar. We dug with her, got in the trenches with her, and we are not about to get out until there is complete healing, complete victory – and there WILL be. I have tasted victory over the wiles of Satan, I have lived it. My God has fought for me, and now He asks me to stand and fight with others. I will. I count it a privilege. I read today in John 13, about Jesus putting on the towel and washing the feet of His disciples. Done not really to cleanse them, but to give them an example of how He wants them to live. I will, Lord, I say. I will. As I finish reading, I bow my head and ask God to expound on His gift of healing He gives me. It is not a Benny Hinn type of healing, it is a washing kind of healing. A washing of love, of prayer, of digging deep in the trenches, a washing of His Word over the hurting while He fights for them, while He binds up the broken hearted and releases prisoners from darkness! Yes, indeed a privilege. I will, Lord. I will, because You have been my perfect example. Because You have tenderly and gently led me, so I will lead others to be washed by the Healer. *you know that's not the real name, right? :)
