Worship ~ A Key to Our Healing
I want to tell you something that happened to me today, because it is going to help someone.
I have been going to the doctor for some major blood pressure issues and they just keep trying to put me on more blood pressure medication and my body seems to reject it all somehow.
Then they try something else, and usually it doesn’t work either!
Frustrated and out of sorts
Today, I was came out of the Doctor, frustrated, because they wanted to put me on yet another one.
I came home and went to pick my mother up for some business she had to do at the courthouse and I waited on her in the car.
I sat there listening to some worship music and all at once the LORD said, “Now, take your blood pressure!”
Earlier at the doctor it was 160/100. So I had a little portable BP machine and I took it after the worship and it was 112/ 78! All glory to God!
I believe that God did not tell us to worship Him because He is an egomaniac.
I believe that it is for us! There are many reasons that God tells us to worship Him but how about to bring our bodies into alignment with the rhythm of heaven?
The Treadmill Story
Once I was on a treadmill running to a fast paced song and then the song on the CD changed to a song with a different rhythm.
I began to try and run at the same pace that that I was running to the other song. All at once I began to get all out of sorts and agitated and the LORD said, “See how that feels Jo Ellen?”
When the LORD said that, I said, “Yes LORD, it feels all out of sync.”
He said, “Yes, and that is what happens when My people are impatient. They then get all out of sorts and out of the rhythm of heaven and they begin to get agitated and it affects them physically!”
It is time to worship Me and Live!
God is saying; “It is time to worship Me all you who are agitated and out of sorts with the atmosphere around you!
Many have lost their health from the impatience and anxiousness!
Many have been diagnosed with many health issues and you have not come to me for the answers.
I AM about to bring My people out of pharmakeia, (the use of medicine, drugs or spells) and bring them into the knowledge of the Holy One!
I AM about to give them strategy for their illnesses that are found in the depth of My word if they will seek My for answers.
As they worship Me I will heal them! As they praise me, I will show them how to walk in their healing that I have provided for them!
I AM THE FOUNTAIN OF LIVING WATER!
So why do you look elsewhere! It is time to seek the one who will give life and life abundant!
It is time for My People to come out from among the world and do things My way!
It is time to show the world that You are children of the King!”
“Ho, every one that thirsteth, come ye to the waters, and he that hath no money; come ye, buy, and eat; yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price,” Isaiah 55:1.

I need God to Free me from a certain drug that is a pill and before anyone judges my request pray first It is a very very complicated situation. I’m suicidal off of it not just it but knoing that it helps with that chemical imbalance but is not used legally for that… I abuse it I won’t liee because my tolerance gets higher and higher…and the withdrawals feel identical to having the flu .So image living half a month with the flu..But I want Jesus and I want to depened on Him not my doctor’s signature…I want the desire GONE! I Believe Jesus can set me free. I need Jesus
In the Word posted above, notice the line that says- “I AM about to bring My people out of pharmakeia, (the use of medicine, drugs or spells) and bring them into the knowledge of the Holy One!” I was already on this path, refusing to take any medications for the symptoms that pained me, & had already thrown out all of my pain meds & antibiotics. My feet were badly swollen, from who knows what? And as the symptoms quickly progressed the swelling & pain got so intense I couldn’t get my shoes on to go anywhere. I asked an ‘elder’ for prayer, (James 5:14) while of course I also prayed myself, claiming our healing promises from scripture. (All of this may be a necessary prelude?) In the past when I had experienced these same symptoms I had asked many people to pray for me, even including one ‘prophetic voice’ out there, but weeks went by without much progress. So this time, I changed my approach, focusing more directly on Jesus, and when the pain got so intense I could barely stand it, I picked up a song sheet & sat down & began singing praise & worships songs! In only the first few seconds of singing I felt ‘an immediate release’ in my foot that was so pronounced that it made me quit singing, wondering what happened to my foot? It felt like someone ‘clicked’ opened a valve, & all the pressure & swelling began running out! The difference here in my approach made a big difference in the outcome. I sing & praise the Lord all of the time anyway, but in this case I sat down to praise & worship Him directly in stead of & in spite of focusing on the pain of my symptoms. This Word is absolutely true, but when your healing manifests, please be kind & keep your mouth closed, for there’s no need to go tell all those who were praying for you your new-found secret! rick
