Guess what? The “God Is Our Healer” issue has been released!! And you can read for free here!
This issue is extremely special to me because I’ve been doing a lot of healing over the past couple years: mentally, physically, and spiritually. As a teenager, life seemed to be going swimmingly; yet, behind the scenes I was building strongholds of idols that needed to be cast down. And, believe me, when God cast them down it hurt!
How do you know when you’re healed? Here’s the answer: when you can thank God from your heart for your trials. For your hurt, for your pain. At first, you’l have to fake it ’til you make it. You’ll have to say thank you through gritted teeth, through tears, through numbness.
But it’ll come, beloved.
It’ll come.
