One Vike,
I can assure you without a shadow of a doubt that the Lord wants you to receive the healing that He purchased for you when He died on the Cross of Calvary. It is His desire that you PROSPER and BE IN HEALTH just as your soul prospers. Jesus never turned anyone away who came to Him for healing when He walked among us. He is still with us. Thankfully, as a child of God, you can stake claim to that which has been given to you. Believe that He has already taken care of your arthritis and your wife’s ailments. See your diseases and infirmities upon the body of Jesus. That is what He did for you——He took care of them (just as He took care of your sins) and as children of the Living God, you have inherited the blessings! I am rooting for you, One Vike, and will pray. Just be assured that you don’t need to persuade God to heal you. You just need to believe that He has done it——no matter what symptoms you observe in the sense realm. Wait for all those to go away, because according to God’s Word, it has already been done. Proclaim that Word over and over. Blessed is the Name of the Lord!!!!!
Amen to your beautiful prayer!
