HEALING

From Genesis through Revelation,
God laid the foundation for our promise of
Healing. When God created the earth there was
no sickness.
"Genesis 1:26-28:
God said, let us make man in our
image, after our likeness and let them have
dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the
fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over
all the earth, and over every creeping thing
that creepeth upon the earth. So God created
man in his own image, in the image of God
created be him; male and female created be
them. And God blessed them."
The Bible goes on to say that
"Genesis 1:31:
God saw everything that he had made, and,
behold, it was very good."
When God created Adam there was
no sickness on earth. Sickness entered the
earth through man's transgression and rebellion
against God. Sin invaded the souls of Adam and
Eve, and the result of the sins was sorrow.
God sent His Son, Jesus Christ,
to die for our sins. Jesus' death on the cross
of Calvary not only brings salvation to our
souls, but it also removes our sickness, sorrow
and pain.
"Romans 5:12:
Wherefore as by one man sin entered in to the
world, and death by sin; and so death passed
upon all men, for that all have sinned.
"Romans 6:6-10:
Knowing this that our old man is crucified
with him, that the body of sin might be
destroyed that henceforth we should not serve
sin. For be that is dead is freed from sin.
Now if we be dead with Christ, we believe that
we shall also live with him. Knowing that
Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more;
death hath no more dominion over him. For in
that be died, he died unto sin once; but in the
he liveth, he liveth unto God."
Jesus has provided for our
spiritual and physical deliverance from the
influence of world. There is no transgression
in Him, and we are alive in Christ Jesus.'[
"Galatians 2:20:
I am crucified with Christ;
nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ
liveth in me; and the life which I now live in
the flesh I live by the faith of the Sons of
God, who live me, and gave himself for me."
Forgiveness and healing are found
in Christ Jesus. Jesus came to heal the sick.
He is still healing the sick today. In Luke
Jesus said:
"Luke 4:18-19:
The
Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath
anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor; he
hath sent to heal the broken hearted, to preach
deliverance to the captives and recovering sight
to the blind, to set at liberty them that are
bruised, to preach the acceptable year of the
Lord."
Divine health and healing are
promised to you over and over in God's precious
word. The Bible is strong and true. Hold on to
God's promise by faith for as you do, God will
surely intervene and make a way where there may
seem to be no way for you.
God is and has always been the
Healer. God said,
"Exodus 15:26:
I am the Lord that health thee." It
is His will for you to live in divine health.
What ever you are facing today, the God of
miracles is able to perfect all the concerns
you. You can trust Him to restore your Health
and renew your youth.
Literally, take your requests to
the Lord. Don't hesitate to say "Lord, here is
the need I am bringing to you today." He knows
our petitions before we even ask, yet God is
waiting to hear the cry of our heart.
How do you experience God's
overflow? The key is simply to come to Jesus.
Peter understood this and that is why the
anointing was so great upon his life that his
very shadow carried God's healing presence.
God's promise is to keep us just
as He kept the Israelites of old. We are
sustained by the Lord. It is God, our heavenly
father, who gives us life and breath. We must
look to Him for wellness, for our well-being is
not found in bread alone, but through having a
personal relationship with the Lord Jesus.
The cross of Christ brings
healing. He was wounded for our transgressions
and bruised for our iniquities and with His
stripes we are healed.
Your victory and recovery must
begin internally; within your heart praised to
God must be the foundation. All transformation
is internal, first and foremost. Then the
change becomes apparent externally, as well.
When you think about it, it make sense that all
change must come from inside, not from mere
external actions.
If you have received your
long-awaited miracle, your Heart is overflowing
with gratitude because of God's healing touch
and His love and mercy toward you. As you
rejoice at the health and strength that God
gives, it's important to realize this faith and
prayer were an integral part of gaining your
miracle, and they are equally important to
sustaining and keeping it.
Healing comes when we continually
see the work that Jesus did on the cross, when
we continually took to Him today and everyday
for our health and healing deliverance. Only
then will healing come.
When you are in the right
location (alone with God), the right position
(under the blood), and the right condition (a
prepared, pure heart), God's stands ready to
honor your prayers with His presence and power.
The Lord is asking us to come
into the outer court to make our requests known
and to receive from His giving, loving hands.
He is asking us to come into the Holy place,
seeking Him until we find Him. And He wants us
to come into the Holy of Holies, interceding for
others, where we will find Him able to save to
the uttermost.
Jesus is our health and healing;
when He comes healing always come. God Almighty
has promised us divine health, which is better
than divine healing. That's the promise of
God. The Bible says: "I wish above all things
that your prosper and be in health as thy soul
prospereth". God's divine desire is for His
people to prosper and be in health. The source
of all healing is Jesus.
You, too will experience God's power
as you call on Him in your time of anguish and
fear, for you will find Him to be your shield
and the lifter of your Head. And as you seek
Him, He will fill you with His peace and cause
your sleep to be sweet as He holds you in His
arms and sustains you. The glorious power of
prayer, truly great peace belongs to those who
know how to call upon the Lord.
God said, I will restore health
to you and heal you of your wounds". Receive
that promise today in Jesus' mighty name.
As you flourish in the house of
the Lord, you will experience a healing river.
The Lord wants to bring you into recovery that
washes over you and brings total restoration to
your life. In the Lord you can rest; His peace
and loving care surround.
"Psalm 23:2-3:
He maketh me to lie down in green pastures; he
leadeth me beside the still waters, He restoreth
my soul".
All God needs is a surrendered
container, someone who is willing to surrender
and follow His call. We would realize,
alongside Thomas, that the hands, feet, and body
of the crucified Christ were offered as a
sacrifice that we might fall at His feet and say
"my Lord and my God". The moment you apply the
blood of Jesus to you and your family, the
plagues cannot come. The destroyer cannot touch
you. With the blood of Jesus comes protection
and power. With the blood sprinkled freely come
hope, faith, love and strength to serve Him
daily. Only the blood of Jesus can save you,
heal you, and keep you.
You can gain victory, you can
say, with God's help I can overcome. God
promises to help you overcome whatever you face
as you seek His direction. God is your redeemer
and He will help you. The Lord is with you.
God has ordained that you recover all, be
victorious and be more than a conqueror.
Divine health was God's perfect
will for man. Divine Health is better than
divine healing, for it is for better to always
enjoy health than to have health restored after
years of suffering and pain. Yet we must thank
God than health and healing are part of our
inheritance as His children.
Isaiah 53
declares
that because God sent His son no sickness has
any legal right over you. As you grasp the
depth of this truth, you will experience the
reality of your inheritance in Christ as it
relates to your health and healing.
How do you experience God's over
flow? The answer is simply "come to Jesus".
You may say, "Well that is fine for spiritual
matters, but how does that apply to my physical
health? Can I experience such wholeness in
Christ Jesus that I lack nothing? There is no
lack in Jesus. He does not have health. He is
health. He does not have healing, He is
healing. All that you need is found in Him.
Just as it was in Jesus' day when
signs and wonders and miracles were beheld, so
it is today. Miracles still happen, blind eyes
still receive sight, deaf ears still begin to
hear, and the crippled and the lame still leap
to their feet and walk. The immutability of
God's character is certain. Whether a miracle
takes place instantaneously or over time, God
does heal yesterday, today and forever.
Total recovery can be yours; yes
we still live in bodies that will corrupt. We
have not yet put on immortality so we must still
fight sin. The difference is that once we are
born again, we are no longer in bondage or
slavery to sin. Thank God for the blood of
Christ, our ever cleansing fountain.
Fear is one of Satan's most
formidable weapons, one that he often uses. If
Satan tries to use fear as a weapon against you
to steal your miracle, remember identify your
enemy and resist him. According to God's word,
you are to call upon God and tell Him what you
are going through.
"Psalm 34:4 says:
I sought the Lord, and he heard me,
and delivered me from all my fears".
As we remember the Lord each day,
He sustains us, strengthening our bodies for His
service and good will. God causes us to thrive
and experience divine preservation as we
acknowledge Him. And as we submit to His
guidance, conform to His image, and walk
faithful to His will, we will bear fruit in
vibrancy and strength. We become vessels of
honor to serve Him.
The Lord is about to do something
mighty in your life, and all you must do is call
upon His name. As you do, His anointing will
flow down as fresh oil. God's promise is that
your dry, parched ground shall become a pool of
water.
God's people should be a healthy
people. His word has given us guidelines to
follow which show us how to find health, healing
and renewal in every area of our lives. It is
God's will for us to be whole in body. But it
is our responsibility to take care of ourselves
and lead healthy life styles.
There are many marvelous passages
in God's word that establish the fact that God
has promised restoration and abundance.
Recovery is not something for which we merely
hope. It is the promise of God. That means you
regain all that has been stolen from you through
the eternal work of the One with the name above
every name, the Lord Jesus. Through Him you
regain your strength, are restored to health and
rescued from destruction, become established in
God's kingdom and are made new.
God's grace is sufficient for
you, and His strength is made perfect in your
weakness. In His presence you will find all
that you will ever need. What is strength? It
is the capacity for endurance and the power to
resist a force or attack. God will strengthen
your life with His anointing and take you from
one high point to the next, from weakness to
great strength, from lack to great abundance
from passivity to power. God has commanded your
strength,
"Psalm
68:28:
Thy God hath commanded thy strength;
strengthen, O God, that which thou hast wrought
for us".
Through varied opinions and
perspectives exist on this age old question of
God's ability to heal, one final authority
prevails, the word of God. I believe that the
scriptures tell us clearly that it is God's will
to heal His children and that it is His desire
for you to enjoy the blessings of divine health
and to experience the blessings of His healing
touch. Our loving Heavenly Father wants you to
be well and to enjoy health and life in its
fullness. His promise to us for healing and
health is the same today as it was to every
generation in the past.
Whenever God forgives you, He
wants to heal you as well. Te only problem is
that many only accepts the forgiveness of sins
and not the healing. If we are under a double
curse, sin and sickness, we must accept the
double cure, forgiveness and healing. The goal
of the enemy is to steal what God has given to
us as His children. Each day walk in the
victory of your healing. Live a life filled
with health, strength and victory.
Our Father desires to spend time
with us now as preparation for an eternity
together with Him. He wants to be involved in
everything we do. He desires to guide our
steps. He cared enough offer His only begotten
Son's life as a sacrifice for the purpose of
saving our souls and revealing His will to us.
Faith does not deny fact, it
changes it. Faith is vital to your miracle;
prayer does not produce faith, for God's word
states that:
"Romans 10:17
Faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word
of God". Faith for healing comes by hearing the
word of God in scriptures like
"Mathew 8:17:
Himself took our infirmities, and bare our
sickness". Healing is received and kept by
faith. You must allow God's word to continually
wash over your spirit. So that faith can grow.
The truth of this is what brings life and
liberty, what sets us free and keeps us free.
Continue to see yourself well and
whole, healed in Jesus' name. Experience the
rich inheritance that is yours through Jesus
Christ. Learn what God's word promises and
stand on those promises. Say good bye to doubt
and unbelief. Trust the God who healed you to
keep you today and every day.
The Bible states that your body
is the temple of the Holy Spirit.
"1 Corinthians 3:16-17:
know you not that ye are the temple
of God, and that the spirit of God dwelleth in
you? If any man defile the temple of God, him
shall God destroy; for the temple of God is
holy, which temple you are". You are its
caretaker. It is your responsibility to take
care of your physical body as the temple of
God. Be a God caretaker of God's temple and
don't allow your miracle and the riches of
divine health to be stolen from you.
The greatest miracle takes place
when a lost soul recognizes that hope lessness
of his or her eternal state without God and
cries out for mercy. As you come to know
forgiveness and the glorious, saving grace of
Jesus Christ, the greatest miracle occurs.
Jesus Christ loves you so much that He gave His
life for you by dying on the cross. If you have
never asked the Lord Jesus to forgive your sins
and invited Him into your heart, do so today and
experience that greatest miracle available to
mankind.
Are you thirsty today? Do you
need a touch from heaven? Do you want a greater
anointing upon your life? Jesus said
"John 7:37:
If any man thirst, let him come unto me, and
drink". Jesus is the source. He alone can fill
your life with all the fullness of God. As you
go to the Lord is prayer today, your fellowship
with God will increase, and He will draw you
into a deeper, closer, and greater walk with
Him, anointing you with a power that will help
you live a life of total recovery.
PRAISE THE LORD
