3 John
2
“Beloved, I pray
that in all respects you may prosper and be in good health, just as your soul
prospers” (NASV). “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and
be in health, even as thy soul prospers” (KJV)
.
In 1979 I
was told I had cancer. When I read these words, God spoke directly to me. The
Lord placed my name after “beloved”. I was His beloved. He wished for me to
thrive and be in health! My mind focused completely on these words, and I
decided they were His promise for me! He wanted me well! I read the second half
of the verse, “even as thy soul prospers”. When my soul thrives and prospers,
His promise is for healing for whatever my need. My soul thrives out of love for
Him, and in return I prosper and discover His health. With spiritual growth, I
can believe in God’s healing even when I haven’t experienced it, because with a
prospering soul, God bestows greater faith to believe. With greater faith I also
learned that the healing my mind envisions may not be what God has for me. But
it is always for my spiritual best.
If you
are struggling, latch on to this verse and let it take root in your spirit.
Study. Dig. Seek. Pray. Grow. You will realize that with spiritual growth comes
your own promise of healing.
