"This pain is permanent. I'll never feel normal again. This is just my life now."
How it sounds in your head: You had your good years. This is what happens after 40—the body breaks down and you just manage the decline. That young guy you used to be is gone. Welcome to aging.
"But to you who fear My name The Sun of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings; and you shall go out and grow fat like stall-fed calves."
-- Malachi 4:2Enemy mimicking medical world's 'chronic pain management' mindset, making you accept suffering as identity instead of receiving Jesus as Healer.
Every morning you wake up, it's there. Doctors have told you 'learn to live with it.' Years of trying things that didn't work have trained you to expect disappointment.
Twelve years of bleeding, every physician failed, spent everything she had. Touched Jesus' garment and IMMEDIATELY the fountain of her blood was dried up—twelve years gone in one second.
I REFUSE the lie that this pain is permanent. IT IS WRITTEN that by His stripes I WAS healed—past tense, finished work. I am Abraham's seed, heir according to the promise, and the BARAK blessing rests on this body. IT IS WRITTEN that Jesus Himself took my infirmities and bore my sicknesses. This pain is not my identity—I am the righteousness of God in Christ. I declare instant breakthrough over this body right now, not because I've earned it, but because HE paid for it. I receive healing as my covenant right.
The Father isn't waiting for you to try harder or suffer longer to 'learn something.' He's running toward you with healing in His hands, the same way He ran to the prodigal—before you cleaned up, before you proved anything, while you still smelled like the pig pen of pain.
