Praying for a student with asthma
One-fifth of the population can relate to this encouraging story I’m about to tell you. Just a couple of weeks ago, we were having our regular Saturday afternoon gathering for the college students here in the Philippines. By regular, I mean that as a group we give praises to God in worship and intercession. Prayer is the natural cure for all sicknesses!
After soaking ourselves in prayer and music, we focused on specific prayer requests in the group. Each person shared a request for other people who didn’t know God as a personal Savior. Most of the requests were for friends and family who needed a touch from God in one way or another.
In the middle of this, one of the ladies was giving her prayer request, and I couldn’t hear her, even though I was sitting right next to her. I jokingly asked her to turn up the volume. She then told me she had asthma and that it had been hard to breathe for the last few days.
Prayer Is the Natural Cure for Asthma
“Asthma accounts for one-quarter of all emergency room visits in the U.S. each year, with 1.75 million emergency room visits.”
God is the greatest doctor, so guess where I’m going with this story? We interceded for our family and friends, and then we gathered around the young lady to pray for her healing. I was able to encourage her with some Scripture about healing.
Then I asked her if she believed God heals, and she replied, “Yes.” I asked, “Do you believe God will heal you?” She said, “Yes.” We laid hands on her and prayed, asking God to touch her and heal her completely. After the five-minute prayer, she took a deep breath and was completely healed! Glory belongs to God, as He is the great Doctor!
Natural Cure for Asthma Is Found in God
I pray that you are encouraged by that story, because God wants to heal you too! Nobody is perfect, and we are “Not saved by righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy, He saved us.” – Titus 3:5 We don’t earn our healing by being “good,” so that isn’t where our focus should be. “We fix our eyes on not what is seen, but what is unseen, for what is seen is temporary but what is unseen is eternal.” 2nd Cor 4:18
We are called to have faith, to believe in the things unseen as if they are! The young lady believed God “can” and “will” heal her before she “saw” anything. That is faith! Keep looking to God for all your blessings.
Get healed right now with a prayer for healing! I won’t be surprised when God heals you, because I’ve seen it many times. God heals over the phone and even through our prayer videos. Trust in God, as He is the great Doctor!
