Healing in His Wings: Spiritual Healing When God Seems Silent

When God seems silent and your heart feels heavy, it’s easy to wonder if spiritual healing is even possible. In this episode, we look at God’s hard but hopeful words in Malachi and discover how the “healing in His wings” is still available when you feel stuck, worn out, or alone.

Description

Bible teacher and author Virginia Grounds joins Angela to talk about spiritual healing in seasons when God seems quiet. They step into the book of Malachi, where God’s people are going through the motions, questioning His love, and resisting His correction—and then unpack Malachi 4:2 as a promise of the Sun of Righteousness (Jesus) bringing healing and joy to those who revere His name. Virginia shares how God used Malachi 1 and the story of Jacob and Esau to lovingly confront her during a season she felt “tired of responsibility.” If you’re weary, grieving, or longing for spiritual healing when God seems silent, this conversation will gently invite you back under His wings.

Episode Highlights

• Why Malachi is a powerful book for seasons of spiritual dryness and doubt.
• How “Jacob I loved, Esau I hated” points to God choosing those who value spiritual responsibility over temporary comfort.
• What it means that the “sun of righteousness” rises with “healing in His wings” and how this points to Jesus’ spiritual healing work in our lives.
• Encouragement that God’s silence is not His absence—and that He can lead you from heaviness back to leaping joy.

Great Quotes

• “Just because God is silent does not mean He is not present.”
• “When the Son of Righteousness rises in your life, He brings spiritual healing that can eventually turn into leaping joy.”
