Over the course of the last many years I have run into more people than I can count who have come into meetings filled with Gods Glory, Got Touched by God, Got Healed or Received a Miracle to only days later lose that Healing or Miracle and wind up right back where they started.
These kinds of things used to frustrate me (as well as others I’m sure) to absolutely no end and it wasn’t until some years ago that the Holy Spirit showed me (in my own body) why and it is because SYMPTOMS LIE!
Every time that I have been touched and healed by the Lord in my own life, those testimonies have almost always been contested and tested by the enemy. The devil will always test the waters of your situations to see if you’ll invite those conditions back into your life.
In my own personal life, I have been healed hundreds of times and all of them have been contested by the enemy with LYING SYMPTOMS of the very same things which I have been healed of.
For example, for years of my life, in wrestling with gallbladder issues, when I was healed, the enemy would try to send a spirit of infirmity after me to create those symptoms in my body once more. If I entertained those symptoms and believed the lies that he told me about losing what God gave me in His Presence and Power, it would be openly giving the enemy permission to bring it all back upon me, but if I stand upon the Truth of what Jesus Christ has bought and paid for for me and resist him the pain leaves, the lying symptoms leave and the enemy leaves!
“Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you.” (James 4:7)
Every time that the enemy tested Jesus Christ in the wilderness, Jesus threw the Word of God back at the enemy in response to his overtures. Of course, the end result was that the enemy left and the angels came and ministered to Him.
The enemy is looking for your agreement with him! He wants to deceive us into believing that we didn’t actually receive what we really did receive from and in the Presence of God! IF YOU WANT TO RETAIN WHAT YOU GAIN IN THE THE GLORY, YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE TO FIGHT FOR IT!!!
The spirit of infirmity is a full blown liar just like the devil himself! I have wrestled with that thing for many years in my own life, until I realized just how much of a liar he really is!
IT’S TIME TO AGREE WITH GOD AND HIS WORD AND PUT THE ENEMY IN HIS PLACE!
“But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our guilt and iniquities; the chastisement [needful to obtain] peace and well-being for us was upon Him, AND WITH THE STRIPES [THAT WOUNDED] HIM WE ARE HEALED AND MADE WHOLE.” (Isaiah 53:5)
“And this is the confidence that we have in him, that, if we ask any thing according to his will, he heareth us: and if we know that he hear us, whatsoever we ask, WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE THE PETITIONS THAT WE DESIRED OF HIM.” (1 John 5:14-15)
If you have been touched by God and healed or received a miracle from Him, don’t allow those lying symptoms and spirit of infirmity to rob you of what has been completely purchased for you! Jesus Christ and the Blood of His Cross has bought and paid for your complete restoration!!! You didn’t lose your healing the enemy is a complete liar and a thief.
“The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I AM COME THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE LIFE, AND THAT THEY MIGHT HAVE IT MORE ABUNDANTLY.” (John 10:10)

Amen Daniel!
AMEN! These words are so needed in the Body right now, thank you Daniel! I too had gallbladder issues in 2016-17 whilst pregnant with & after I had my second son. I was healed but after experiencing painful ‘symptoms’, allowing doubts to come in & trying my own ‘methods of healing’ (gallbladder flush) I ended up having surgery. It was such a difficult & painful time! I now have a new gallbladder from Jesus so all is well but we really need to stand firm on Jesus promises & reject the lies of the enemy. The enemy will even use ‘well meaning’ Christians to convince other believers to seek/trust man & even curse one another. “Out of the tongue proceeds both blessing & curses. This ought not be so.” James 3:10. The Body is in desperate need of teaching on Jesus divine healing & deliverance right now. My dad took me through the teaching of John G Lake last year & it was life changing! After seeing results & being healed of asthma I was so encouraged (& grateful to God) but sadly, it was other believers in my life who tried to dispute the teaching. There was alot of opposition from fellow believers!! My healing was a battle & there were times when my own husband even asked me to take asthma medication but I held onto Jesus promises, His stripes, His blood, His goodness, His grace, His Spirit & now I’m healed! All glory to God!!
My sister in law also recently had gallbladder issues but Jesus healed her. This time we stood firm on Jesus finished work & she walked away from the hospital before doctors could cut her open!
Jesus didn’t sacrafice His life & rise again just to give us salvation, He also gives us life in abundance! Why is it so much easier for us to believe for salvation (the greatest miracle) than to believe for divine healing? Everything is easy for Jesus, He is the CREATOR!! Thank you Jesus!!
Emma: I love John G. Lake 🙂 His life was based on one simple truth, he trusted God completely on every level. Faith is about trust, in fact the Hebrew word Mibtah is the word used for faith and literally means trust. God is so good. I have had Cancer twice and the surgery to remove it, both breast and then both thyroid. I never had chemo or radiation or any Cancer medications afterwards. I was trusting God to take care of it. I think for me, either way, live or die it is a “win win”. If I die I get to go home to my Father in Heaven, if I live I get to serve Him here longer. I believe it is in the trusting of His decisions either way, He moves on our behalf. It has been 24 years since bilateral Mastectomies and 10 years since bilateral Thyroidectomies. Here are a couple of links to my blog I thought you might enjoy.

Hi Kasey, what an amazing testimony you have, praise Jesus! You have endured so much, the verse I think of is: “I shall not die, but live, & declare the works of the lord”. Psalm 118:17
You’re explanation of trust is beautiful, thank you. Thank you also for the link to your blog; your encouragement to the Body to surrender to God & lay down our lives for Jesus is powerful. And they overcame him by the blood if the Lamb & by the word if their testimony, & they did not love their lives to the death. Revelation 12:11 God bless you ❤
Apocalypse 12/11
Thank you so much for this reminder! Praise the Lord Jesus! By His stripes, we are healed! Amen! and Amen!
