WHILE WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO SHARE my doctor's office
experience from earlier this week, the video below with Mike Huckabee
and Dr. Phil McGraw pops up in YouTube. Wow, what timing!
Dr. Phil speaks about being willing to stand up and be heard, about what our children are being exposed to in our schools, and about standing up for our faith.
That rang a bell! Last Tuesday I was in the Dermatologist's office to have what looked like a Big Beauty Mark removed. I don't know what else to call it, for she said it was not a mole, nor was it a growth which might be malignant, but she did not tell me what to call it.
And, hey, I don't need a beauty mark, I am already beautiful to the One who counts, Jesus Christ. So she chose to use Cryotheraphy, a procedure using an extremely cold liquid spray to freeze and destroy abnormal tissue.
While we were discussing this procedure, she asked if I ever had a similar tissue problem before, and I told her no. Then for some reason I chose to share with this lady, whom I had no idea what her faith is, or if she has any faith, my experience with divine healing.
About 20 years ago, Pastor Ed from our CICF church, with Dory and me, led a Wednesday Bible Study at the Vintage Terrace seniors community in Corona, CA. Pastor Ed and I would alternate leading the studies. One week Frank, a senior living there, told us the moles on his face were malignant.
About a week later, as I was combing my hair, there was a snag and blood on my right temple. Dory and I were concerned, especially so soon after Frank's diagnosis, and my growth looked very much like those on Frank's face. We agreed that I should see a doctor.
That night, as Dory was asleep and I lay in bed, I held my right index finger on the growth and prayed a simple prayer, "Lord, please heal or remove this growth." That was my whole prayer. Yet immediately I felt a warmth come over me and I felt such peace, somehow I knew He had said, "Yes." So I rolled over and immediately fell asleep.
The next day, the growth was visibly smaller, the next even smaller - and on the fourth day, that growth, whatever it was ~ was gone! How do I know it was really there, not my imagination, and gone in four days? Because to this day, maybe 20 years later - the white discoloration from its removal is still there on my right temple for all to see.
Fast forward a few years and I had joined the Religion Forum on my hometown newspaper, the TimesDaily, to refute several atheists who had taken residency there and were flooding that forum community with their atheistic views.
During a discussion I shared on the Religion Forum about what I knew was my divine healing. And our two resident atheists along with a few legalistic Christians, and a gathering of agnostics and vanilla-flavored non-believers - all were up in arms, several referring to Bill's Magic Finger. As you can imagine, they all had a field day over Bill's Magic Finger and Bill's Divine Healing. One Agnostic/Atheist Wannabe asked me, "Bill, do you have a Magic Finger?" And I told him, "No, I have a mighty God!"
But laugh as they did - I still knew it was true.
Do I believe that God always heals when we pray? I remember hearing Pastor Chuck Smith commenting about folks who asked him to pray for their healing. His would tell them, "I will pray for you, but even then you have a 50/50 chance of healing, if that."
What Pastor Chuck was saying was that no man can heal us, only God can heal us. He may choose some man through whom He gives His healing, but it is still God and not man. Nor is it those Prosperity Preachers with their "Slain In The Spirit" sideshows who are defaming the beautiful divine healing which comes only from God.
Do I believe that God always heals when we pray? No, we most often cannot know why He heals one person and not another. But in His divine wisdom, He does. I do not now why He chose to heal me that one time, but I will proclaim it.
Back to my Dermatologist last Tuesday, when I shared about my healing of the growth on my temple - she made no comment and gave no visible reaction. But still, for her and the nurse present - both heard and the rest I will leave up to God.
Why did I choose that moment, that time, to share this with the Dermatologist and her nurse? I have never shared with a doctor before, although I probably should have. Maybe God wanted one, or both, of them to hear it at this specific time, for His own reason.
While living in Orange County, in our family doctor's office many years ago, - I was in her x-ray room waiting for the med tech to call me. Sitting there I noticed a full body chart on the wall showing all the muscles, organs, and bone structure in the human body. Looking at that chart, I thought to myself, "How can any doctor, with that knowledge, not believe in the God who created such a complex, beautiful life form?" Yet I never overtly shared with her.
So now, let's hear what Mike Huckabee and Dr. Phil have to say about standing up for America, our children, our families, and our faith.
