DIVINE HEALING - Aimee Semple McPherson.
Divine healing is like a beautiful flowing well of cool crystal water on a hot and dusty day. You do not have to drink it—you can drink the brackish water of the pond or go thirsty if you would rather. But the well is right here and the water is cool, refreshing and free, and here is the dipper of believing prayer with which to draw, hanging right by the well.
Divine healing is like a beautiful shade tree in a weary land or an oasis in the wilderness. There is no law forbidding you to walk in the broiling sun at noonday but ’tis your privilege to rest beneath the shadow and healing wings of the Almighty. Thousands who have found the arm of flesh to fail them have now come to lean hard upon Jesus as their All and in All for body, soul and spirit.
Coming to Christ for divine healing is like taking your watch to a watchmaker for repairs. You could take it to a blacksmith, of course, or to an automobile mechanic, and they might clumsily do their very best for you, but after all, ’twould only be a second best and you have the privilege of taking the watch, with its delicate mechanism, to the very one that made it and knows just how to repair it.
When we bought our automobile, a salesman kindly said to us: *’Now any time your car needs fixing up or servicing, we will be glad to have you come right in, we will fix it free of charge, this is our own make of car, we understand it thoroughly and our system of service is included for a certain length of time without any additional cost to you." Now, of course, there was no law to hinder our taking the car to some other garage, where we would pay a large sum for service and perhaps find a mechanic who knew more about a Ford than he did about the mechanism of an Oldsmobile. But a few weeks later, when some adjustments were needed, we were glad to avail ourselves of the privilege of going freely to the people who had made the car and having it there adjusted and made perfectly fit again.
So it is with our blessed Lord. It is He that made us and not we ourselves. If you would prefer an earthly physician to the Great Physician, or feel that you could trust him more ,then go to him. But it is your blessed privilege to come to the Lord who made us, who understands our frame and knows
just how to heal us without pain or suffering.
