"My body is too damaged—I've had this condition too long for healing to work now."
How it sounds in your head: It's been 15 years with this disease. My organs are compromised, the damage is extensive. Maybe if I'd believed for healing back when it started, but now there's too much deterioration. The window has closed.
"So I will restore to you the years that the swarming locust has eaten, the crawling locust, the consuming locust, and the chewing locust."
-- Joel 2:25Enemy + world system teaching healing has time limits and point-of-no-return damage thresholds.
Medical professionals have shown her scans and explained 'irreversible damage,' and she's watched her body decline for years. Time + physical evidence makes restoration feel impossible, like trying to un-break a shattered vase.
Twelve YEARS of bleeding, had suffered many things from many physicians, spent ALL she had, grew WORSE instead of better—medically 'hopeless' with chronic, untreatable deterioration. She touched Jesus' garment and was healed IMMEDIATELY, completely, after 12 years of progressive damage.
I REFUSE the lie that time or damage puts me beyond God's reach. IT IS WRITTEN that He RESTORES the years the locust has eaten—not just stops further decline, but RESTORES what was lost. The woman who suffered 12 years and grew WORSE was healed immediately when she touched Jesus. Lazarus was raised after decomposing four days. IT IS WRITTEN that Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever—He hasn't changed His mind about healing, and He isn't intimidated by my medical history. My body is NOT too damaged; it's the PERFECT setup for a testimony of His resurrection power. By His stripes I WAS healed—I receive that reality NOW.
Your Father isn't looking at your chart shaking His head about the damage. He's the God who restores YEARS, who raised decomposing bodies, who makes dead things live—your 15 years of decline is nothing to Him who spoke galaxies into existence.
