"I'm getting injuries that won't heal completely, so my body will accumulate damage over time."
How it sounds in your head: My ankle hasn't been the same since I sprained it last year. I've got a bad shoulder that flares up. These things don't fully heal anymore like they did when I was younger. I'm collecting permanent injuries.
"For I will restore health to you and heal you of your wounds, says the Lord."
-- Jeremiah 30:17Source: World's medical doctrine of chronic conditions and enemy's lie that injury equals permanent limitation.
He's experienced a lingering injury that didn't heal in the 'normal' timeframe, and every trainer or doctor talks about 'managing' chronic issues rather than full healing. The pain is a daily reminder.
A man had a withered hand—long-term, visible, 'permanent' damage. Jesus said 'Stretch out your hand,' and IMMEDIATELY it was restored completely whole like the other. Years of atrophy reversed in one moment of obedience.
I REFUSE the lie that my injuries must be permanent or chronic. IT IS WRITTEN that God will RESTORE health to me and HEAL me of my wounds—complete restoration, not management. By His stripes I WAS healed, past tense, finished at the cross. The BARAK blessing means the Lord commands healing on my body. IT IS WRITTEN: I will take sickness away from the midst of you. I speak to every injury, every lingering pain: be healed COMPLETELY, be restored FULLY in Jesus' name. I receive total healing NOW.
The Father isn't waiting for you to do enough physical therapy to earn healing—He's already released resurrection power into your body. He sees you completely whole, the way He created you in the garden, and He's running toward you with healing in His wings, ready to restore EVERYTHING.
