Jesus Heals

As Christians, we are the light of the world (Matthew 5: 14) and we are to shine the light of Christ wherever we are and glorify God. 

One time while I was working on this TV project as a supporting artist aka extra, I started experiencing loss of vision, symptom of a migraine attack. I hadn't had one in many years. I told a friend I was working with how I was feeling. She offered me medication, but I declined. I told her I needed to take time out to pray. I then quietly reminded myself that "By His stripes I am healed." (Isaiah 53: 5)   After about fifteen minutes, my vision was back to normal and there was no headache. My friend, a non-believer, marvelled over how quickly I had got well.  I told her God had healed me.  I was even able to do a scene where we had to run from an attack.I 

Another time, when I was working at this art gallery, a colleague, who is Muslim, told me he was having pain in one arm and couldn't lift it. I asked him if I could lay my hand on it.  He agreed. After a few minutes, the pain was gone. He thanked me for healing him. I told him it was Jesus who had healed him.

One time I had a swollen gum and one side of my face was swollen. My flatmate, whose daughter is a dentist, told me I had a tooth infection and I needed to see a dentist. I told her I needed to pray about it. In my prayer I reminded myself  that the same Spirit who raised Jesus from the dead was giving life to my gum. (Romans 8: 11) The next morning, the swelling was gone. I told my amazed flatmate that Jesus had healed me.

Another time, my flatmate's daughter and another friend were visiting. While they were discussing pain and painkillers, I remained silent. My flatmate looked at me and said, "You don't get pain, do you? You have Jesus." That made me laugh. 😀

Thank you, Jesus, for giving me Your  Light ☀️✝️
