Family of God: Re: [FamilyofGod] Simple Thoughts On Promises- 124

I know that burning in my hands happens often when I pray over someone or God is telling me to. I've learned the hard way not to ignore it. Gets me in trouble

There is no greater love than this, to give up your life willingly for others.

I can only tell you when you feel that burning sensation you need to follow its leading. As I was telling someone else, my husband has graves disease, he wasn't supposed to get thru it this long. I layed my hands on him every night and prayed. it started in 2000 they thought he would be gone shortly thereafter. Only by the grace of God.

hi Wanda
I find pastors often dismiss women, and some are very rude. One time I
was on the way to church and we had to pass a woman's house who we had
recently heard had been diagnosed with terminal cancer. On the way my
hands felt like they were on fire. This had never happened to me
before. I thought maybe I was supposed to stop and pray for the woman
but barely knew her and was afraid I was just fooling myself about my
hands being hot meaning God wanted me to use them as His instrument to
heal others. So I didn't stop.
Then after church I said to my pastor that I thought maybe God wanted to
use me as an instrument of healing through the laying on of hands. He
looked at me with this scornful look on his face and said something like
"well we will see"
Im basically a very insecure and shy person and it doesn't take much to
discourage me, so I just sort of slunk out of the church and decided not
to think about the healing anymore. I convinced myself it was just me
wanting to have the gift, not God speaking to me.
I think my gift has been hindered by that experience because since that
time the only ones who seem affected significantly by my laying on of
hands for healing is my husband and my dad. Maybe that's what God
intended tho, so that's just fine with me.
I just don't want to be burying my 'talent' as the Bible warns against.
But I don't want to assume something that is just of my own yearning
either.
I wish I knew how to know for sure when to attempt to use the gift
because so many people need God's healing.
One time a friend was having panic attacks. I never told her anything
about my experiences with healing. I just hugged her and patted her on
the back and prayed in tongues silently for a brief time. From that
time on she seemed so much calmer and hasn't spoken of more panic attacks.
Maybe we can bring God's healing through hugs and silent prayer too??
The only thing wrong with it that I can see is how do I give the glory
to God if the person doesn't know what really happened?
Maybe God only cares if I give Him Glory in my heart. and not so much
that I make it public.
What do you all think?
