PAYING OR PRAYING

​One morning last week while i was having breakfast at a local truck stop, i heard this word from the Lord:
 
The world says you get what you pay for, but God says you get what you pray for.  So pray with confidence, because Jesus already paid for everything you’re bargaining for.
 
What a great word!  It was so good that God began confirming it even before He spoke it to me.  It happened when i woke up one day unable to breathe out of the left side of my nose because my nasal passage was plugged.  i considered that strange since i didn’t have a cold, so i told my sinus to clear in Jesus’s name.  Within about a half an hour i was healed, and i shared that story with a buddy when he called me later that same morning.  He was really encouraged by my testimony and used it to strengthen his own faith, since he also had a plugged nose, which we likewise told to be cleared, in Jesus’s name!
 
Yesterday my buddy confirmed that he also was healed by faith, but he had to contend for it for a couple more days before his nose was finally cleared.  His condition was worse than mine - his nose was bloody - and that tempted him to fear, because he smoked for years and that left him susceptible to respiratory ailments and whenever there’s blood he tends to think the worse.  But he recognized it was an attack and received my testimony as the truth and persevered to receive the victory God had prepared for him in Christ!
 
Faith is our victory, and when we walk in faith healing becomes way more contagious than disease!  Christ is our healing and our faith, and on the cross He defeated everything that stands against us!  For we are covered by His blood and that gives us victory in every battle.  When we surrender to Jesus every battle becomes His, and He wins His battles one hundred percent of the time!!
