For the World: Through the body of Christ in the “Name of Jesus”.
Acts 3 Peter said to the man at the gate of the temple, rise in the “Name of Jesus”: He was outside the temple, but after that he was healed, he ran inside to praise God. Miracles do not make believers; all it did was create wonder and amazement. The man was not born again or religious. Acts 4:4 The word of God brings about a believer. Paul and Silas preached the word of God to the Jailer and his whole house was saved.
For the commonly minded Christian:- or the baby Christian
Through the Elders of the Church, praying the prayer of Faith and anointing him with oil in the “Name of Jesus”. (Math 8:17) He took up our infirmities and carried our diseases. (1Pet 2:22) He Himself bore our sin in his body and by his wounds we are healed. (Psalm 103:3)He forgives all our sins and heals all our diseases. E.g. James 5:13 Note:- The book of James was written to carnally minded Christians, and he was showing the Christians how to appropriate their Faith and receive their healing. Mark 16:15 The sign of a Christian is that he must go into the world with signs following. This is our concrete evidence that Jesus Christ is alive today. 1 Cor 3:1-3 The definition of being carnally minded. His mind is ruled and controlled by his 5 physical senses, which are the voice of the flesh.
Thus the Bible says one thing his flesh says another, then because his mind sales and not his spirit man, he believes his senses and not the word of God. Heb 5:13-14 The definition of a spiritually mature Christian. A Carnally minded Christian is unskillful in the word of God, but the mature Christian is well versed in the word of God, and stands upon the promises of God. James 5:13 The question is asked, if there is any sick among you? There should not be any sick. A Christian should walk in divine health, but if there is, then call for the Elders of the Church to pray the prayer of Faith and anoint you with oil. This person uses the left hemisphere of the brain. This is the logic reasoning side.
For the Man who enjoys his privileges in Jesus Christ
James 1:78 Through the word of God when he is Spiritually mature. Not being double minded in his ways. Eph 4:11-13 5 Fold ministry for the perfecting of the saints maturity. Spiritual growth will grow at the rate that your Spirit is fed and used. Your body grows with time, but there is no time in the Spirit and you can grow as fast as you want to, there is no limit in the world of the Spirit. Rom 8:6 To be word of God minded is life and peace. Be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Heb 5:13-14 Strong meat belongs to them who are of a mature age, and are skillful in the use of the word of God. Thus your thinking is now governed by the Laws of the Spirit and not Natural Law. The word of God replaces the five senses. He uses the right hemisphere of the brain. This is the creative, imaginative side of the brain.
Walking in Divine Health
2 Pet 1:1-4 They had attained to this level of walking in divine health. They did not need healing because they refused to accept or allow sickness on their bodies. They stood on the divine promises in Gods word, they walked on them and enforced them in their lives and thus escaped the corruption of this world. Thus we must walk in the light of the promises and allow the divine nature of God, that you received at “New birth,” to rise up inside of you. 2 Cor 5:21 All this is done through the righteousness of God.
How to Appropriate this Divine Walk
2 Cor 4:16-18 We are inwardly renewed day by day, not fixing our eyes on the things that are seen, but on what is unseen. Col. 3:10 You have put on the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of our Creator. Eph 4:23-24 You were taught to put off your old self and to be made new in attitude if your mind, and put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and Holiness. Rom 12:1 Offer you body as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God, which is your “Spiritual Worship,” by not conforming to the pattern of this world, but by transforming yourself, by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what Gods will is. His good, pleasing and perfect will.
How to Receive Healing from Christ
Num. 21:8 Says of the uplifted serpent, “when he looketh on it, shall live.” Looking means attention. God gave the covenant of healing and revealed himself as our healer by the redemption name, “Jehovah Rapha.” Condition laid down:- “Hear diligently and do all.” This means attention and heed to his word. Mark 4:24 “Be careful to what you listen to.”
e.g. – Johna: Called the symptoms lying vanities while yet in the belly of the whale, “I will look again toward thy Holy Temple,” and then proceeded to offer the “sacrifice of thanksgiving.”
Looking means expectation: Looketh means consider, as did Sarah when she considered that she could “rely upon Him who had promised,” instead of considering her age. Looketh constitutes present tense, which is not a glance, but, a continuous “store,” until you are well. It was “steadfast Faith” that brought the fulfillment of Gods promise to Abraham. The healing process goes on while we are looking unto the promise. We are to think Faith, Speak Faith, and keep it until the promise is fulfilled. By being occupied with the symptoms or feelings, we violate the conditions and thereby turn off the switch to His power.
Looking by Faith
Heb 11:23-27 Moses “endured as (by) seeing Him who is invisible. “Faith is the evidence of things not seen. It is not what we see with our natural eyes that counts, but that which we see with our Faith in our minds eye. Faith is the most rational thing in the world, because it is based on the greatest facts and realities. It sees God; it sees Calvary, where disease and sin were canceled. It sees the promise of God and His faithfulness, which is more certain that the foundations of a mountain. Faith sees Health and strength given on the cross, as already belonging to us, it receives the words, “Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses, and acts accordingly. What the eye of Faith sees, the hand of Faith appropriates, saying, “this is mine by virtue of the promise of God.” Faith refuses to see anything but God and what He says.
How to Keep your Healing
Divine healing cannot be contacted by the mind. It can only be contacted by the Spirit through Faith. Rom 10:10 With the Heart (Spirit) more believeth unto righteousness. John 14:9 Jesus told Philip, “Have I been so long with you, and yet hast thou not known me Philip?” He that hath seen me hath seen the Father. Psalm 107:20 He sent His word, and healed them. In the mind of God, we are already healed because His word “Jesus” came and healed us.
WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN SYMPTOMS RETURN?
RESIST THE DEVIL and he will flee. Stand, and keep on standing on the promise of Gods word. Many times you lose by praying! You lose by turning in your prayer requests. (That is like confessing that you do not have it). CONFESSION:- In the name of the “Lord Jesus Christ” I exercise authority over this body of mine. Sickness and disease, I refuse to allow you to stay. This body, this house, belongs to God. It is the temple of God. Satan, you have NO right to trespass on Gods property. Now you GET OUT!! You leave my body. I’ve got authority over you, I know it, you know it, and God knows it!! HEALING IS FOR US TODAY Jesus Christ settled it, healing is the will of God Psalm 110:89 “Forever, O Lord, Thy Word is settled in Heaven. Isa 55:11 “My Word that goweth forth out of my mouth shall not return to one void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing where to I sent it. Peter 1:23 The Word of God “Liveth and abideth forever. The word of God is incorruptible. It cannot be destroyed. John 17:17 “Thy word is Truth.” Ecc 8:4 “Where the word of a King is, there is power.”
GODS MEDICINE CABINET
Prov 4:20-22 “My son attend to my words, incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes, keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.” God has made provision for our health. Only by constant careful, diligent, prayerful study of God’s word will we ascertain exactly what was secured to us, what belongs to us, and what our right are to physical healing and health.
DIRECTIONS FOR PRESCRIPTION
1Peter 2:2 Attend to God’s word. “desire the sincere milk of the word.” Man shall not live by bread alone but by every Math 4:4 word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God. Incline thine ear to Gods sayings. Faith commeth by hearing and understanding the word of God. Rom 10:17 Faith is the secret formulae.
- a) Math 8:13 as thou hast believed.
b) Math 5:34 Thy Faith hath made thee whole.
c) Mark 5:36 Only believe.
d) Math 9:28 Believe ye.
e) Math 9:29 According to your Faith.
Do not let the word of God depart from your eyes. Meditate on the word not by remembrance, but by reading it. Psa 119:11 Keep the words in the midst of thine heart. “Thy word is hid in my heart, that I might not sin against thee.” The Results: For they are life unto those that find them. (my words) and health (or medicine) to all their flesh.
HEALING IN THE ATONEMENT
Isa 53:4-5 All sickness and disease is a curse of the Law, but Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the Law. (1Pet 2:22)(Math 8:16)(Gal 3:13)(Deut 28:15-22)(27-29)(35-36)
HEALING IS THE WILL OF THE FATHER
John 6:38 Jesus said,” I come not to do my own will, but the will of Him that sent me.” Everything Jesus did in His Earth Walk was the will of the Father. He was the will of the Father in action. If you want to know the will of the Father, Look on Jesus. (Esc 15:26)(Esc 23:25-26)(2 Chron 16:9)(Psa 91:10,16)(Psa 103:2-3)(Psa 107:20)(Isa 55:11)(Math 7:11)(James 1:17)(Math 8:23)
THE WORKS OF JESUS
(Acts 10:35)(John 10:10)(Math 9:35)(Math 15:30-31)(Heb 13:6)(John 14:12)(Mark 16:15,17-18)(James 5:14-15)(3 John 2)
GOD AT WORK WITHIN
(1John 4:4) Greater is He that is in you.
FAITH FOR HEALING
(Mark 11:23) Don’t doubt in your heart.
PRAYER OF FAITH
(Mark 11:24) Believe you receive it.
WHY YOUR PRAYERS ARE NOT ANSWERED
The word of God teaches righteous living. Some do not walk in Love or Forgiveness. The lack of unity among the Brethren. (2 Cor 13:1) In the mouth of two or three witnesses shall every word be established. (Math 8:17) (Isa 55:5) (1 Peter 2:24)
7 HINDRANCES TO HEALING
Prepare for healing. Many people desire to be healed, but do not meet the conditions of Gods word, therefore they do not receive anything. Similarly there are multitudes of people who desire eternal life, but never receive it because they fail to meet the simple conditions for eternal life. You can have all the Faith in the world, but if you do not meet the conditions, you will not be healed. (John 3:21,22) “Beloved, if our hears condemn us not, then have we confidence toward God, and whatsoever we ask, we receive it of him, because we keep His commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in His sight.” (John 15:7) “If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done unto you”.
Many people don’t receive because
They don’t prepare themselves to receive divine healing.
They don’t spend time in God’s word. (James 1:6-7)
They question whether or not it is Gods will to heal them.
They are double-minded. (James 5:14,15)
They have sin in their lives. Hidden sins.
They rely on the flesh.
Trust in the man instead of Jesus Christ.
Trust the instrument not healer. (Mark 11:24)
They never set a specific time for their healing to be manifested. “When you pray”.
They do not desire anything.
They do not determine what they want.
They are spiritually lukewarm, having the traditions of men.
HEALING REFERENCE
Healing is part of Salvation. The Hebrew and Greek words for Salvation imply the Ideas of :
- a) Forgiveness
b) Healing (Rom 1:16) (Gal 3:13) (1Pet 2:24)
c) Health
d) Full deliverance from the curse of the law.
(Math 9:1-7) Healing is on the same basis as forgiveness of sins, prayer and Faith. (Math 13:15) (Math 21:22)(Acts 28:27)(James 1:4-8)(James 5:14-16)(Heb 11:6)
Healing proves the resurrection of Christ and the descent of the Holy Spirit. (Acts 1:4-8)(Acts 2:33)(Acts 3:16)(Acts 4:12)(Rom 8:11) Healing was promised on condition of obedience. (Lev 26) (Deut 28)(Ex 15:26)(Psa 91)(Isa 58)(James 5:14-15) Health as well as healing was promised when men met certain conditions. (Prov 12:18)(Prov 13:3)(Prov 15:4)(Prov 18:8,21)(1Pet 3:10-11)(3 John 2) Health was natural and eternal life the fall. (Gen 1:26-31)(Gen 2:17) The first prophecy and promise of redemption included healing. (Gen 3:15)(Isa 53:5)(Math 8:16-17)(1 Peter 2:24)(Gen 20:7,17)
The first record of healing was done by a prayer of a prophet of God. God always keeps His covenants and has healed multitudes by Spiritual means. (Psa 103:3)(Rom 8:1)(Acts 10:38)(1Peter 2:24)(1John 3:8). Christ came to redeem us from sickness and sin. (Isa 53)(Isa 61:1-2)(Math 8:17)(Math 9:5)(Gal 3:13)(Rom 8:11)(Acts 10:38)(1Pet 2:24)(1John 3:8) Jesus proved His Son ship by healing all men. (Math 4:23-24)(Math 11:3-6)(Luke 4:16-21)(Acts 10:38)(1John 3:8) The Holy Spirit was sent into the world to carry on the healing ministry. (Acts 1:1-8)(Acts 2:33)(1 Cor 12) (Heb 2:3-4)
Gifts of healing and other gifts are promised as Spiritual equipment for the Church. (1Cor 1:17)( 1Cor 2:1-11)(Rom 1:11)(Rom 12:6-8)(Rom 15:18-19)(Rom 15:29)(Heb 2:3-4) Spiritual means to heal is all that God promised and commended. (Ex 15:26)(Psa 91) Spiritual means were used in the wilderness by Israel (Ex 15:26)(Num. 11:1-3)(Num. 12:13-16)(Num. 21:1-9)(Isa 3:14) Virtue going out to heal. Loss of Power.
