A Morning on a Mission
A week ago I woke up on a mission. Earlier in the morning I was awoken with a vision. I saw a woman cut open from head to toe, and outstretched hand to hand, with bright white light emanating from her entire body. That is, except for the dark spots that shielded the light in different parts of her body. I've had these visions before. They tell me that someone needs healing prayer. It wasn't a comfortable vision and I went back to sleep hoping that it would go away. When the alarm went off, I arose with the same vision.
During our morning devotional I shared this vision with my wife. She said, "God will lead you to who it is that he wants to use you for His healing". As I left for work I stopped at the place in the woods where I have my private prayer every morning and sought discernment. I tried to think of what woman I knew of who needed healing prayer and I thought I had it figured out. NOPE. The moment I walked into my office the first thing one of my associates said was that a neighboring business owner had a migraine and that I needed to pray for her. HOLY SMOKES! This does not happen every day...in fact it had never happened before. I immediately went to that person's business and we prayed and thanked God for His healing. Two days later I had occasion to see the woman and she gave her testimony. She said that she started feeling better the moment we finished praying and that by the end of the day she was operating on "all cylinders" as she put it. She went on to say that she'd been coping with that headache for over a week and it hadn't come back since we prayed.
My prayer is that God does this more often, as I relish every opportunity to stop and acknowledge His greatness with fellow believers. In the process, my hope is that it will bring non-believers to Christ.

Thank you for you comment on my blog. I'm not sure that I necessarily disagree with you. If you pray for someone and they are healed than that is the power of prayer and miracle granted from God is it not?
Though it may seem like splitting hairs - if God consistently answers your prayers on healings that is wonderful praise God! But does that necessarily mean you have the spirtual gift of healing?
I don't know if you noticed, but my blog profile does say I am a medical student, if you have the gift of healing please come to the hospital and prove it and spread the Gospel. If not, than is it not right that I question that you have the gift of healing?
Thank you for your input.
I DO NOT possess the gift of healing. Rather, God chooses to use me at HIS will to perform acts of healing. I merely succumb to that Will of God. I know that this may sound perplexing, but it is only by His will that I'm ever called to perform healing prayer. I don't invite it nor do I nourish the notion...only succumb to it. I am led by God...not controlling Him. It is His will that is done...not mine. Does that make any sense?
Anyhow, I thank you for your input and appreciate you taking time to respond to my post.
In Christ....

Thank you for you patient and kind offerings Brother Marty. I'm still young and need to learn to be more peaceful and patient haha!
If it makes you feel better, my own father is a charismatic preacher who firmly believes in the gifts. So I have the upmost respect for him and your views.
Interestingly enough you said "I DO NOT possess the gift of healing. Rather, God chooses to use me at HIS will to perform acts of healing... to perform healing prayer."
Technically speaking, that does not go against cessationism. Care to join our side now? ok ok just kidding!
In Him,
