Receiving healing

Thinking over what I've written yesterday, I'm reminded of an incident years ago, when as a young Christian, it was prophesied that I had the gift of healing.

I can still remember the day when another person, who'd also had the reputation for having the gift of healing, wasn't too comfortable with having some "competition." Fixing her eyes on me, she demanded that I pray for  her ankle, which she'd sprained sometime before. Not knowing any better, and thinking it's probably no harm to pray, I prayed something simple. Nothing happened, of course.

God doesn't respond to prideful, demanding people who try to make His servants, theirs. 

Subsequently, I've prayed occasionally for others -- backs have healed, infected ears have healed. 

I just let God do what He wants to do, whenever. He is my Prince of Peace.
