The Compassion Cure by Amber

 

The other day, I was heading outside to do some work and saw my sister sitting on the couch, looking miserable.

I knew I couldn’t walk by her. She needed my help.

It was the 5th day in a row.

She had been struggling with dizziness. She was getting increasingly weighed down with worry, frustration, and torment.

She just couldn’t find what it took to rebuke it and have it leave.

I could feel the heaviness and burden she carried, and my heart was moved to see her heart free.

I gave her a long hug and ministered what I had heard God speak to me that morning through 5 or 6 Psalms in a row, all talking about the power of singing and giving praise to the Lord.

I knew that’s what God was speaking to us.

It stood out to me that even the trees of the wood were made to rejoice, and if they are, being one of God’s creations, so are we.

God created everything to praise Him.

Because He did, us walking in the order--that praise--that He created automatically has great power.

I remembered the testimony from one of these previous articles about the woman seeking for healing.

She had a vision of scales, labeled “prayer” and “praise”, with the prayer side being heavily weighted down while the praise side wasn’t balanced.

It fit in with what God was speaking.

Praise is very powerful, equal with prayer.

This is the way God created it.

This also means that everything that is not of God will come against the order God set.

The enemy will try to train your eyes to yourself and your failings, to distract you by focusing on your situation, your problems and your lack instead of keeping your eyes on the One that delivers you.

I also shared with my sister that obtaining healing from God wasn’t something she had to “earn”. He already had it for her, because He loves her.

God created her to have joy, to be free, to rejoice in Him.

I could tell she was receiving and it was setting her free.

The burden was falling away as she realized she wasn’t alone.

I had it on my heart to rebuke in the name in the name of Jesus that spirit of heaviness off of her.

So I did and then began thanking God for freedom, joy, for His Light that overcomes the darkness.

She rebuked it also, and she was free and had joy for the rest of the day.

The next day she woke up completely free from the dizziness, and it’s been gone ever since.

Praise God!!

I can see more clearly what it means to be moved with compassion.

A friend once told me of the power of compassion, and how it is just as powerful as faith, if not more so, because faith works by love, and love is compassion.

When I saw her sitting there, it wasn’t necessarily that I had this great welling of “I’m going to deliver her through my faith” but much more compassion just to see her free and not burdened.

I knew God could do that.

I wasn’t even addressing the dizziness directly.

But as soon as she shifted her focus back to God, that physical affliction no longer had a foothold to stay in her body.

She told me later that she had read that stress can cause dizziness.

She had been stressed, and stressed all the more from being afflicted.

What a device of the enemy!

So—Praise God, the one that delivers us from all afflictions!
