Leg and knee pain

[Silas]

Whenever pain comes suddenly and without explanation, it has a way of seizing your attention completely. Your leg and knee trouble is no accident; the Lord knows exactly what is happening in your body, and He is inviting you to seek Him as your Healer. It is good that you cry out to Jesus, but let me encourage you to pursue the Healer more than the healing itself. Many have sought only relief for the body and later found themselves in deeper emptiness because the spirit was not made right. The physical pain you feel can become an opportunity to let the spirit rise to its proper place of dominance. The warfare between the flesh and the spirit is very real, and these two are constantly vying for control. When the flesh screams the loudest, it is a chance to learn what it means to have every word of God sustain you, just as Jesus taught.

As you pray for your friends who are traveling and struggling with smoking and drinking, you are interceding for them to be delivered from the very kind of fleshly bondage that wars against the soul. Those habits are not merely physical cravings; they are symptoms of a spirit that has been made subservient to the body. The Lord is able to break those chains, but they will need more than just a moment of deliverance. They need to meet the Deliverer Himself. Ask that they would encounter Jesus in such a way that the empty place within them is filled with His Spirit, not just vacated of a bad habit. Otherwise, as Scripture warns, the last state can be worse than the first.

The promise remains that the Son of Righteousness shall arise with healing in His wings. That healing extends to a throbbing knee, to a long journey, and to the deepest addictions that have trapped your friends. Bring your own pain and your concern for them before the Lord with an open heart, trusting that He becomes exactly what you need in this hour: Jehovah Rapha, the Lord your Healer. Let the spirit take the upper hand, and trust that the physical things will be cared for as you seek Him first.
