HEALING
Part 1
We live in a world where there are two systems: the worlds system and the kingdom system. You must make the right choice for healing to be effective.
The world system is a death cycle which is based on fear, sickness, disease and death.
Gods kingdom is based on life, faith, health, and prosperity. The worlds system has limits, Gods kingdom has no limits.
There are different kinds of healing. Healing of the flesh, soul, finances, feelings and bad habits.
To be healed of anything you must go back to ‘seek you first the kingdom of God’ and his righteousness.
You must approach God, believe God is, God can and God will. You must believe God cannot lie and his word is the truth and his will for your life.
Hebrews 11:6 6 But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him.
If you don’t have faith, you’re not going to please God. If you please him, he will reward you…seek ye first…
Matthew 8:5-8 5 And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum, there
came unto him a centurion, beseeching him,
6 And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick of the palsy,
grievously tormented.
7 And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal him.
8 The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not worthy that thou
shouldest come under my roof: but speak the word only, and my servant shall be
healed.
Jesus said, I will come and heal him, the
centurion said, just speak the word only and my servant shall be healed.
If we had this kind of faith today our
healing would always come. This centurion had no doubt that his servant would be
healed.
Matthew 10:1, 6-8 1 And when
he had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean
spirits, to cast them out, and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of
disease.
6 But go rather to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
7 And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand.
8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out
devils: freely ye have received, freely give.
He called them and gave the power, there is
only one power. Today under the new covenant we have this same power as the
disciples had, in Jesus’ name.
Mark 16:15 15 And he
said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every
creature.
Jesus commanded them to go and, in His name, command the devils to
leave, to lay hands on the sick and command the sickness to leave so that they
will recover.
When Jesus was asked to heal the centurion’s servant, Jesus
command the healing. If you want your healing you must command it to come
and the sickness to leave.
Proverbs 3:5 5 Trust
in the Lord
with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding.
We must stop leaning to our own understanding and start trusting
what Gods word says, know the benefits and blessings he has for us.
Ephesians 1:18 18 The
eyes of your understanding being enlightened; that ye may know what is the hope
of his calling, and what the riches of the glory of his inheritance in the
saints,
Believe in your heart that God will give unto you the spirit of
wisdom and knowledge and the discernment of the truth about Him and the spirit
of promise.
Let the Holy Spirit enlighten your understanding and give you hope
according to the working of his mighty power that works in you in Christ Jesus.
We have in us a blood bought covenant that says, I will.
Mark 3:14-15 14 And he ordained twelve, that they should be with
him, and that he might send them forth to preach,
15 And to have power to heal sicknesses, and to cast out devils
Most people have the tendency to believe that only the twelve
disciples had been ordained to preach and to have the power to heal sickness
and to cast out devils.
John 15:16 16 Ye
have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go
and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye
shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you.
Jesus in his own words says, you didn’t choose me, I chose you and
ordained you. He has given the power and authority to go and bring forth fruit.
Which means to do what the disciples did which was to preach the gospel, heal
the sick, and cast out devils.
1 Corinthians 12:4-11 4 Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same
Spirit.
5 And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord.
6 And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God
which worketh all in all.
7 But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to
profit withal.
8 For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another
the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
9 To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of
healing by the same Spirit;
10 To another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to
another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another
the interpretation of tongues:
11 But all these worketh that one and the selfsame Spirit, dividing
to every man severally as he will.
The Corinthians had an abundance of spiritual
gifts, but their trouble came not from a lack of exposure to the gifts, but a
failure to properly use them.
Knowing about ones spiritual gifting is
important, but the most important thing is knowing how to use the gift that the
Holy Spirits anointing for the purpose of your calling and your life.
1 Corinthians 12:27-28 27 Now ye are the body of
Christ, and members in particular.
28 And God hath set some in the church, first apostles, secondarily
prophets, thirdly teachers, after that miracles, then gifts of healings, helps,
governments, diversities of tongues.
The body of Christ refers to the church and
members in particular it refers to every single individual in the church who is
truly born again.
These different gifts are given to different
people because of their faith, strength, obedience and sincerity of the word.
Proverbs 4:20-22 20 My son, attend to my
words; incline thine ear unto my sayings.
21 Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of
thine heart.
22 For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all
their flesh.
Don’t just read the word, think about what
you read and meditate on it. Listen to what God is saying to you, and as you read
the word don’t let it depart from your eyes. Better said, let the word go down
into your heart, it is life to those who choose to do this and health to all
their flesh.
3 John 1:2 2 Beloved,
I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy
soul prospereth.
Above all things that you prosper and be in health even as thy
soul prospers. There are three different healings spoken here in this small
verse.
John is saying above all that you prosper. Lots of people
including Christians need a healing, as to their prosperity.
“and be in health” so many people are sick and loosing hope as
their health deteriorates without a clue as to how to claim and command the sickness
to leave.
“Even as thy soul prospers” one word from God can change anything
in your life. However, you must understand the word and know the truth. It is
all about how you think, your soul thinks and directs the truth by the Holy
Spirit to your heart. Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks, think
about what you are saying. You are what you think, good or bad.
Proverbs 18:21 21 Death
and life are in the power of the tongue: and they that love it shall eat the
fruit thereof.
