So I was talking with a Brother in Christ recently, and he said something a little odd to me. He sort of slipped and said that he had a word from God about me. Then he tried to change the subject on me and I picked up on it and asked him what was it? He him hawed and didnt want to answer, perhaps he wasn't supposed to tell me? But my curiosity was aroused and so I pressed him about it...and he finally told me, but I could tell that he didnt want to.

He told me that I am to be in a healing ministry, or to that effect. Then said to please don't read too much into that...

And the more I ponder this, the more I feel like a pinball machine that is going, TILT...

Because I have not gotten even a hint about anything like this from the Lord. But I trust this Brother, and he is not the type to make things up. And he really really did not want to tell me...so I am inclined to receive this as a truth.

I try not to think about it much, because I figure everything has a season and if it is to be...it will come to pass. But no inkling whatsoever from theLord to me about it...(Tilt).

I had the unction once to raise the dead, but I chickened out and did not try or pray...honestly, I have a hard time seeing myself in this capacity. I...don't think I could take center stage in front of a crowd of people in such a big way...idk, a fear of man I suppose?

What do you think?
 
What is baffling to me is why was he so hesitant to tell you and why did he day 'Don't reach too much into this'???
Did you ask the brother that? Also there are different kinds of healing (physical, mental and spiritual). Perhaps you should pray for guidance. God will lead you to where He wants you. Maybe pray and wait on the Lord?
 
That is baffling. I didnt ask him why he said that, he was feeling a little uncomfortable and I didnt want to press him that hard but I was curious what God said about me of course so did ask him that. (I have had the Lord give another Brother a word of knowledge about me before and he was right on the phone fast to tell me! That is how I got the message that I was to give my business to my son and move to Ohio. Then he spoke some personal things about me that I had never told this brother...God's way of confirming that message to me. I know that was real.)

I'm sure the Lord did not tell Him to not tell me about it, otherwise he wouldn't have. So it was something about him for sure. There's not really much to this so I cant read too much into it, lol. Just have to wait and see I guess.
 
Thank you Sister.

I am changing inside. I have been aware of it for some time now. I am a lot different than I used to be. So, who knows what God has in store for me?!

I know one thing, if it is His will that I be a healer for Him or in a healing ministry...nothing will stop it from happening.
 
My concern is that when God gives us a word to speak to another this is done as soon as possible. When given a word from another we need to test it to make sure it is from God, especially when they say don't read to much into it, like it's no big deal or something like that as a word from God is a big deal no matter what is given to us. I know that God has given me a word to speak to others and it's usually something they have been thinking about doing.

I've never seen healing as a ministry separate from teaching the word, but see it as being a part of the Spiritual gifts from the Holy Spirit as God works through the body of Christ for a time and purpose of revealing Himself to others. Another thing to remember is that not everyone receives a healing when hands are laid on them and only God has His reason as He works in and through that person who was not healed. Sometimes God's grace is sufficient enough to carry one through their infirmity like that of Paul, 2 Corinthians 12:7-10.

God gives us the authority to heal and cast out demons like He did with the disciples and also like the disciples not everyone will be healed as I am an example of this with my infirmities having had others lay hands on me praying for healing in my body. The flesh is weak within it's infirmities, but yet The Spirit of God is stronger in us as we set our sights on Spiritual things from above and give no concern for the flesh.

Just pray and talk to God about all of this as He will direct your path.

I agree. That's why this was so weird to me. The first time, that I know that God gave someone a word about me, he was on the phone fast and there was a sense of excitement and no reservations whatsoever. The weirdest thing is that this Brother in Christ...his light shines. He's provoked me to jealousy a couple times lol. So I suppose now its obvious that he's holding back part of it, lol!!
