Chat: You are afraid to get a diagnosis because of what the doctor might say that you have.
Your honesty is refreshing. I would hazard to say that there are a lot more people in your category who won’t admit it, and who try instead to portray their decision not to go as a faith decision rather than what is really is – a FEAR decision. If you are AFRAID of what the doctor will say, that is all the more reason to build your faith in divine healing by feeding on what the Word says about it.
A doctor’s diagnosis does not make you sick! If the diagnosis is cancer, you don’t have cancer because he diagnosed you. He just told you what you already have. Sometimes a doctor visit is valuable when the doctor tells you that you DON’T have what the devil is trying to tell you that you have. You may find out that your “brain tumor” is just a series of bad headaches, or that your chest pains today are actually just indigestion. However, if I were having bad chest pains, I would personally want to get to a doctor as soon as possible and find out what is going on.
Far from hurting you, a correct diagnosis of something serious could SAVE your life because it got detected in time to cure it.
If you believe that you receive your healing, and now you are convinced by your body that the condition is gone, getting checked out by a doctor will not give you your condition back – he can confirm that it’s gone!
