Many people understand the role of faith when it comes to healing, but far fewer understand it when the words “distant,” “remote,” or “energy” are added in front of it. Healing in any form isn’t magic, and it isn’t automatic. It’s a process — one that works best when the seeker is an active participant.
Here’s what you should know: Seek, and ye shall find.
Healing is not a one-way street. The healer’s energy can open doors, shift patterns, and create space for healing, but the seeker must walk through those doors and take part in their own recovery.
I know this because I’ve been there. I was a seeker too, searching for a solution and trying anything. My story is just a little different.
In 1992, I got sick with something doctors couldn’t diagnose. I went through tests and frustration. I was desperate for a better life without pain. Then one day, months after they gave me — let’s call it this diagnosis — they had to call it something. Well after all that, I stumbled across a TV evangelist teaching on faith healing. His challenge was simple:
“Try it. Either it works, or it doesn’t. You’re already sick, so the worst that happens is nothing changes — or you get better.”
Desperation Met Opportunity
I began saying the affirmation from Isaiah 53:5 — “By the stripes of Jesus, I am healed” — no matter how I felt. I connected deeply with my inner God, even though I used the name Jesus. This proves you don’t have to be a Christian to use that affirmation — the name carries a healing power because people have poured centuries of belief (hopes, dreams) into it. With that also comes its opposite (faith born out of fear, desperation, lack). I will admit I used that affirmation when I was walking the Christian path. Now I’m following God.
Here’s the key: I didn’t just sit and repeat words. I searched for solutions, explored healing practices, and opened myself to guidance. After six months of steady affirmations and seeking, my pain was gone, and I was off medication. That faith journey became the gateway to meditation, prophetic dreams, and the healer I am today.
It didn’t happen instantly.
It didn’t happen by me doing nothing.
It happened because I took action.
When people reach out to me for healing, they are often seeking a fix-now solution. And I understand — I was that person once. But distant healing isn’t magic that erases pain overnight. It’s a collaboration between Spirit, healer, and seeker. The seeker’s belief, openness, and willingness to take inspired action are just as important as the healing energy sent.
The scripture says, “Seek and ye shall find” — and seeking means moving, searching, and showing up for your own healing.
