GOD IS AT WORK IN YOU
17th Feb 2021
The verse in Philippians 2:12, “continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling” can be a bit confusing and contradictory to life lived by grace and faith, until you read the next verse. “For it is God who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose.”
I am rejoicing as I have received “God working” a significant healing. Let me say more - over the past months we have been receiving a Healing Webinar from Ian Andrews, broadcast on the internet every Thursday afternoon at 3pm. It is available freely to anyone who registers on Ian’s website citadelministries.com - log in and register and you will be blessed.
Ian and Rosemary are personal friends of ours, and Ian has been called and anointed by God to teach people how to minister and also receive healing. Each week there is the opportunity on the Webinar to receive healing. A couple of weeks ago after Ian had been teaching for about 40 minutes, he sensed a strong anointing from God for the release of healing to anyone who wanted to receive. I have been having problems in my left thigh, hip and groin since about last October, have taken ibuprofen, rebuked the pain, done exercises and even had a x-ray, without any significant improvement.
As Ian invited us to receive healing from the Lord, by the power of the Holy Spirit, I stood up in front of the screen and received my healing. From that moment the pain stopped and movement in that area eased and has continued to do so. I would say that I am 80% back to normal, and am experiencing improvement on a daily basis.
I see the “working out of my salvation”, to remain walking by faith, be open to receive from God, let His word dwell in me richly. It is not “good works” activity, but “God Works” activity. With all the challenges around us at this time it is easy to become discouraged and drop our “faith guard”.
As I was thinking about sharing this testimony, an old chorus came into my mind.
“God is still on the throne, and He will remember His own. Though trials may press us and burdens distress us, He never will leave us alone. God is still on the throne, He never will leave us alone, His promise is true, He will not forget you. God is still on the throne.”
