Matthew 13:23 NKJV
Just because you haven’t seen results yet doesn’t mean your prayer is not being answered. The Word of God is a seed; it needs time to produce fruit. Ask God for the grace to hold on to what you believe from His Word while it takes root and grows. No matter what the situation, it’s always a good time to be thankful.
Satan wants you to focus on your circumstances and what appears unchanged instead of thanking God for the part of your life that has gotten better. As you are standing in faith and allowing the Word to work inside you, continue to meditate on the promises of God about healing. God’s Word works when you plant it in your heart. Keep watering that seed by continuing to speak God’s promises over your life.
God said: ‘The rain and snow come down from the heavens and stay on the ground to water the earth. They cause the grain to grow, producing seed for the farmer and bread for the hungry. It is the same with my word. I send it out, and it always produces fruit. It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it’ (Isaiah 55:10-11 NLT). What did God say about His Word? ‘It will accomplish all I want it to, and it will prosper everywhere I send it.’
Keep your faith strong and stand on God’s Word; ‘I remain confident of this: I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living’ (Psalm 27:13 NIV).

Matteus 13:23 NLV
Net omdat jy nog nie resultate gesien het nie, beteken nie dat jou gebed nie verhoor word nie. Die Woord van God is ‘n saad; dit het tyd nodig om vrugte te dra. Vra God vir die genade om aan dit wat jy glo uit sy Woord vas te hou, terwyl dit wortel skiet en groei. Ongeag die situasie, is dit altyd ‘n goeie tyd om dankbaar te wees.
Satan wil hê dat jy op jou omstandighede en wat onveranderd lyk, moet fokus, in plaas daarvan om God te dank vir die deel van jou lewe wat beter geword het. Terwyl jy in geloof staan en die Woord toelaat om binne-in jou te werk, moet jy aanhou om oor die beloftes van God wat oor genesing handel, te mediteer. God se Woord werk wanneer jy dit in jou hart plant. Hou aan om daardie saad nat te gooi deur God se beloftes oor jou lewe te spreek.
God het gesê: ‘Reën en sneeu kom uit die hemel, en dit gaan nie daarheen terug nie. Dit maak die aarde nat om die plante te laat bot en vrugte te laat dra, sodat daar saad is om te saai en brood om te eet. Net so is dit met die woord wat uit my mond kom. Dit sal nie leeg na My toe terugkeer nie, maar dit sal doen wat Ek verwag en die doel bereik waarvoor Ek dit gestuur het’ (Jesaja 55:10-11 NLV).
Hou jou geloof sterk en staan vas op God se Woord: ‘Tog is ek daarvan oortuig: Die Here se goedheid sal ek sien hier in die land van die lewendes’ (Psalm 27:13 NLV).

Galatians 6:9 NIV
Healing can happen in different ways. Sometimes God performs a miracle and instantly heals someone. Other times He heals a person progressively. When looking at Scripture and the many miracles Jesus performed, it’s easy to think He always healed people in the same fashion. But on closer examination, we see that in many cases He didn’t do the same thing twice.
For instance, here’s how He healed those who were blind: 1) In Matthew 9:29, Jesus healed two blind men by simply touching their eyes. 2) In Mark 10:52, He healed blind Bartimaeus by speaking to him rather than touching him. 3) In Mark 8:22-25, He put saliva on a blind man’s eyes and laid hands on him twice before he was completely healed. Jesus wasn’t bound by one method of healing people – but He was always willing to heal them. Regardless of the method, the receivers consistently showed belief in His ability to heal and willingness to release His power on their behalf.
And the same is true today! If you’ve prayed for healing and nothing happened immediately, that doesn’t mean your faith faltered. It also doesn’t mean that God is angry at you or that He wants you to suffer. It just means it’s time to thank God that you are taking Him at His Word and believing you are getting progressively better day by day: ‘By whose stripes you were healed’ (1 Peter 2:24 NKJV). That means believing that what is already accomplished in the Spirit realm will eventually manifest itself in the physical realm. From God’s perspective, your healing has been bought and paid for.

Galasiërs 6:9 NLV
Genesing kan op verskillende maniere plaasvind. Soms verrig God ‘n wonderwerk en genees iemand onmiddellik. Ander kere genees Hy iemand progressief. Wanneer ons na die Skrif kyk en die vele wonderwerke wat Jesus verrig het, is dit maklik om te dink dat Hy mense altyd op dieselfde manier genees het. By nadere ondersoek sien ons egter dat Hy in baie gevalle nie twee keer dieselfde opgetree het nie.
1) In Matteus 9:29 het Jesus twee blinde mans genees deur bloot aan hulle oë te raak. 2) In Markus 10:52 het Hy die blinde Bartimeus genees deur met hom te praat, eerder as om hom aan te raak. 3) In Markus 8:22-25 het Hy speeksel aan ‘n blinde man se oë gesmeer en hom twee keer die hande opgelê voordat hy heeltemal genees was. Jesus was nie aan een metode om mense te genees gebonde nie – maar Hy was altyd bereid om hulle te genees. Ongeag die metode, het die ontvangers konsekwent geloof in sy vermoë om te genees en bereidwilligheid om sy krag namens hulle vry te stel, getoon.
Dieselfde is vandag ook waar! As jy vir genesing gebid het en niks gebeur onmiddellik nie, beteken dit nie dat jou geloof wankel nie. Dit beteken ook nie dat God kwaad is vir jou of dat Hy wil hê jy moet ly nie. Dit beteken net dat dit tyd is om God te dank dat jy in sy belofte kan glo en dat jy dag vir dag progressief beter word: ‘…Deur sý verwonding is julle genees!’ (1 Petrus 2:24 NLV). Dit beteken om te glo dat dit wat reeds in die geestelike ryk bereik is, uiteindelik in die fisiese ryk sal manifesteer. Vanuit God se perspektief is jou genesing reeds gekoop en betaal.

Psalm 103:3 NLT
The psalmist wrote: ‘Let all that I am praise the Lord; may I never forget the good things he does for me. He forgives all my sins and heals all my diseases. He redeems me from death and crowns me with love and tender mercies’ (vv. 2-4 NLT). David reminded himself of these four things, and you should too. God had forgiven all his sins. God had healed all his diseases. God had redeemed his life from death and destruction. God had crowned him with love, kindness, mercy, and favour.
The Bible records: ‘A vast crowd brought to him people who were lame, blind, crippled, those who couldn’t speak, and many others. They laid them before Jesus, and he healed them all’ (Matthew 15:30 NLT). Were these born-again Christians that Jesus healed? No, this took place before the cross. Think about it: if Jesus was willing to heal all of them, then as a redeemed child of God who has put your trust in Christ for salvation, He can heal you too.
Are you a believer? Yes? Then read this Scripture and stand on it: ‘These signs will follow those who believe… they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover’ (Mark 16:17-18 NKJV). James wrote: ‘Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up’ (James 5:14-15 NKJV). If you are sick, stand on God’s Word and believe Him to heal you.
