A vision of mercy and healing

Oh, give thanks to the Lord, for He is good!
For His mercy endures forever.
Psalm 136:1 NKJV

The Lord is gracious and full of compassion,
Slow to anger and great in mercy.
The Lord is good to all,
And His tender mercies are over all His works.
Psalm 145:8-9 NKJV

In the book Power Healing, John Wimber shared this story on page 52:

Suddenly in my mind’s eye there appeared to be a cloud bank superimposed across the sky. But I had never seen a cloud bank like this one, so I pulled my car over to the side of the road to take a closer look. Then I realized it was not a cloud bank, it was a honeycomb with honey dripping out on to people below. The people were in a variety of postures. Some were reverent; they were weeping and holding their hands out to catch the honey and taste it, even inviting others to take some of their honey. Others acted irritated, wiping the honey off themselves, complaining about the mess. I was awestruck. Not knowing what to think, I prayed, “Lord, what is it?”

He said, “It’s my mercy, John. For some people it’s a blessing, but for others it’s a hindrance. There’s plenty for everyone. Don’t ever beg me for healing again. The problem isn’t on my end, John. It’s down there.”

A couple of things we can take away from these verses and this vision:
- God’s mercy is always available to us, and it’s in unlimited supply.
- If we’re not seeing healing in our lives, why is it? Unforgiveness? Unbelief? Resentment?
- Don’t let what God’s doing be a hindrance to your faith or cause you to be offended.
