What About Taking Medication?

A lot of people put undue strain upon their wives and children concerning healing and not taking medication. People may have a sick baby, and they could get it a shot and help the child. And they just sit there and let that baby suffer all night long, burning up with a fever, and the poor baby doesn't even know what is going on. What does that really prove? Does that prove you have faith, because you let your baby burn up with a fever? Is that an automatic sign that you have faith?

Well, I believe in healing, but I also have enough sense to know that all divine healing is not instantly manifested. So—what about the symptoms in between the time you pray and believe God, and until the physical manifestation comes?

You need to understand that all healing is not instantly manifested. I have seen people who were prayed for, and they thought that their act of faith was to throw away their glasses. They have thrown their eyeglasses away or jumped on them and broken them up, saying, "This is my act of faith, Bless God! I'm operating in faith, praise the Lord!" And they couldn't even see their hand in front of their face. They say, "Praise the Lord! I'm believing God for my healing. Oops! Excuse (me, I didn't see you." I don't know why people get off in this. I have never taught it. Anybody that has been under this ministry has never heard me tell anybody to throw away their glasses. People get that on their own. They still don't understand the faith message. They still are relating faith to things, instead of relating faith to the Word.

A young lady came up to my wife and me one time, almost whimpering, almost in tears. She hardly had any friends now. Nobody would ride with her in her car. We couldn't figure out what in the world could be wrong. Finally, she said, "I claimed my healing for my eyes, but I can't see my hand in front of my face. But I don't know why nobody will ride with me in the car." I do! I know! Poor thing. That isn't faith, that is foolishness.

You may laugh at that, but I run into this all the time. Stop and think about this: In a case like this, your faith is not really in the Word of God: it is in not wearing glasses. Keep in mind that in divine healing, all divine healing is not instantly manifested. Especially faith healing. If you are making a claim by faith on God's Word for your healing, it doesn't always come instantly. If you go without your glasses in the meantime, what are you going to do? Kill somebody, run some pedestrian down, kill yourself and your own family, because you can't see your hand in front of your face? To go out there and drive, when you can't see is foolishness; not faith.
