You can be healed by the word of God:If you only believe
Healing is for the believer
You are already healed
The body of Christ has a legal right to be healed because God put every sickness and disease known and unknown to man on Jesus but we have not taken advantage of what Christ has done for us, we have passively sat by and excepted sickness as a part of life without putting up any resistance against. Isiah By his stripes we are heal
9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.
14 How then shall they call on him in whom they have not believed? and how shall they believe in him of whom they have not heard? and how shall they hear without a preacher?
16 But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esaias saith, Lord, who hath believed our report?
17 So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
Ps:105-37: "There was not one feeble one among them"
Is:53-5 "By his stripes, we are healed!"
Ps:107-20 "He sent his word and healed them"
2Corth:5-17, "If any man be in Christ, a new creature"
Col:1-12, "Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:"
3Jn:1-2 "I wish that thou mayest prosper and be in health,"
Ex:23-25, If you obey me indeed, I will take sickness away from thee.
Jesus was our substitute (2Corth:5-21) that whoever believes he can heal them he will, it's according to your faith it's already done. To the body of Christ healing is the children's bread and when we realize what belongs to us in Christ if sickness should come, tell it what to do and where to go in Jesus' name and your words should obey you if you don't doubt. (Mk:11-23)
The body of Christ must receive what Jesus did for us by faith! Jesus died for the sins of mankind, but all mankind will not be saved. Only those who receive what Jesus did for them by faith and act on it.
We were healed in Christ before the foundation of the world, that old man who was driven by the carnal mind that obeyed the will of Satan died when you repented and went in the water in Jesus' name and came up anointed under his blood and welcomed into the body of Christ.
Matt 3:15 Suffer it to be so now, for thus it becometh us to fulfil all righteousness. Jesus took upon himself all man's sin and exchanged it with his righteousness. and made us the righteousness of God in Christ.
Col:1,12-14
12 Giving thanks unto the Father, which hath made us meet to be partakers of the inheritance of the saints in light:
13 Who hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14 In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
5 And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,
Eph:2,4-8
4 But God, who is rich in mercy, for his great love wherewith he loved us,
5 Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6 And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly places in Christ Jesus:
7 That in the ages to come he might shew the exceeding riches of his grace in his kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
If you are sick today and hear the word that says by his stripes you are healed and believe in your heart that it is so, you will see a manifestation of healing. How do I know, God said it and we can trust the integrity of the word, God and his word are one.
Jn:15-5 Jesus said I am the vine and ye are the branches, he that abideth in me and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit, for without me ye can do nothing.
If you notice, when Jesus began his ministry the people he healed and cast out devils were strangers non-Israelite's, how much more will he do for the church which is his body when we believe.
When we became new creatures in Christ we became partakers of the divine nature but not yet his kind, we are still mortal men waiting for the redemption of our body. (Rom:8-23) In Christ, we have new abilities, new strength, wisdom, health, etc.
Mark 2:9 |
Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?
Ja:5,14-15
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord:
Sickness and disease didn't come until the fall of Adam. Therefore, man made himself available to receive all Satan had to offer. The word says if God's people will turn from their wicked ways, He will take sickness from their midst (Deuteronomy 7:15).
Payment for our healing
Isaiah 53:5, "But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes, we are healed.
Matt:19-1, they scourged him meaning: flogged, whipped, beat, tortured and horsewhipped him in the natural, but in the spirit, God bruised him with every sickness and disease known and unknown to man, he put it all on, Jesus.
Your being healed means a lot to God for Jesus to go through death and torture for our salvation and healing! it has been paid for with his stripes and the bruises God put on him and all the blood that was shed! Don't let the devil tell you different!
The Bible is clear it pleased God to bruise him (Is:53-10) that by his stripes we are healed (Is:53-5) (1 Peter 2:24), we were healed.
Rom;8,11 But if the Spirit of him that raised up Jesus from the dead dwell in you, he that raised up Christ from the dead shall also quicken your mortal bodies by his Spirit that dwelleth in you.
The question, why are so many Christians sick today? The same reason that the world won't be saved, or converted except they repent, even though Jesus died for the sins of all the people in the world! What he did for mankind has to be received, and that's your confession of faith in God.
(Col:2-15) when Jesus got up from the grave he defeated every form of evil that existed. He made a show of them openly; this wasn’t done in the dark, triumphing over them in it.
Eph:1,19-21
9 And what is the exceeding greatness of his power to us-ward who believe, according to the working of his mighty power,
20 Which he wrought in Christ, when he raised him from the dead, and set him at his own right hand in the heavenly places,
21 Far above all principality, and power, and might, and dominion, and every name that is named, not only in this world, but also in that which is to come:
Jesus is the head of the church which is his body the firstborn from the dead that in all things he might have the Preeminence.
Ps:138-2 I will worship toward thy holy temple, and praise thy name for thy lovingkindness and for thy truth: for thou hast magnified thy word above all thy name.
(Col: 1, 17-18) His word ruleth over all, which include all manner of sickness and disease. (Matt: 10-1)
1Tim:1-15
This is a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
Gal:3-27
For as many of you as have been baptized into Christ have put on Christ./ You are the anointed of the Lord.
Titus:3,5-7
Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to his mercy he saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of the Holy Ghost;
6 Which he shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Saviour;
7 That being justified by his grace, we should be made heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
1Corth:1-18
For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved, it is the power of God. 1Jn:1-9 If we confess our sins......
Ephe:2,8-9
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.
2Tim:1,8-9
Be not thou therefore ashamed of the testimony of our Lord, nor of me his prisoner: but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God;
9 Who hath saved us, and called us with an holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace, which was given us in Christ Jesus before the world began,
And all that believed were together, and had all things common;
45 And sold their possessions and goods, and parted them to all men, as every man had need.
We must receive what Jesus has given us by faith! We, as believers, are entitled to be healed, but if we don't believe and receive by faith what was given to us, it won't be manifested in our lives! Healing belongs to the church.
How do we receive by faith? You say to the Father, your word tells me that Jesus paid for my good health (Prov:4,20-22) and healing (Is:53-5) by being whipped, beating, bruised, and more, therefore, I believe I receive this gift of healing you provided for me in Jesus name. now praise God for the victory.
Now say to this sickness or whatever is attacking your body, if you know what it is, name it and say, I bind you and command this spirit of infirmity to be loosed from my body in Jesus' name. Then you thank God for being delivered and began to give him praise Amen!!! Matt:18-18
If you are sick or in pain take the word and speak what Jesus said over your body, if you have faith you will say!!! (Mk 11-23) Tell that sickness and pain what to do and where to go in Jesus' name. If you believe and don’t doubt your words will obey you.
Is:55,10-11
For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater:
11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it.
Num: 23-19 God is not a man that he should lie; neither the son of man that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? Or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
Heb: 10-23, Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; (for he is faithful that promised ;) we can be fully assured in the integrity of the word of God Be encouraged, healing is for everyone that believes Jesus will heal them, it’s according to your faith.
The word shows us in many places, healing is for every believer, it was paid for as part of the new covenant, but there are a few other good reasons to believe that healing is for every believer and here are some of them:
Jesus said that all things are possible to him who believes, Mark 9:23.
Jesus came to destroy the works of the devil (1 John 3:8) and redeem us from the curse of the law, (death-the lake of fire)
Galatians 3:13, then why would sickness remain (the result of a curse), when a person has been washed by the blood of Jesus?
What Jesus did has to be received, he came and redeemed us from the curse of the law, (death by-the lake of fire) then he was beaten with 39 stripes plus the Lord bruised him to pay for our healing. You must receive healing by faith not according to your senses by what you see or fill.
If it's God's will for us to be sick, then aren't we rebelling against His will when we go to the doctor to get better? No, Jesus said cast out demons, heal the sick, etc. (Matthew 10:8), so when Peter and John came up to the man who was lame, they said: "raise up and walk in Jesus' name!" (Acts 3:6).
Why would they do such a thing unless they KNEW it was God's will to heal that person? They spoke the word, and the man was healed! Just like Jesus instructed them to do!
Since sickness and diseases are known symptoms of a curse (Deuteronomy 28:59-61), and since Jesus paid the price on the cross to set us free from all curses (Galatians 3:13), why would there be any reason for a child of God not to be healed? "We are destroyed for lack of knowledge"
Every person who came to Jesus for healing was healed! look at some of these verses: "You are already healed" Do you believe it. believe you receive when you pray and you shall have it.
Acts 10:38, "How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him."
Matthew 8:16, "When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick:"
Matthew 12:15, "But when Jesus knew it, he withdrew himself from thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;"
Matthew 4:24, "And his fame went throughout all Syria: and they brought unto him all sick people that were taken with divers diseases and torments, and those which were possessed with devils, and those which were lunatic, and those that had the palsy; and he healed them."
Luke 6:19, "And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all."
The scriptures are clear that the body of Christ is entitled to the promises of the new covenant, Jesus is the surety or grantee of everyone. (Heb:7-22) The Bible never says that this would end before the return of Christ, and therefore there is no Biblical reason to believe that healing is not for today.
Matthew 8:16-17, "When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses."
Jesus hasn't changed! Hebrews 13:8, "Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever."
Spirits of infirmity: (demonic health problems)
Luke 13:11-16, "And, behold, there was a woman which had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bowed together, and could in no wise lift up herself. And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her,
Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity. And he laid his hands on her: and immediately she was made straight, and glorified God. And the ruler of the synagogue answered with indignation, because that Jesus had healed on the sabbath day, and said unto the people,
There are six days in which men ought to work: in them therefore come and be healed, and not on the sabbath day. The Lord then answered him, and said, Thou hypocrite, doth not each one of you on the sabbath loose his ox or his ass from the stall, and lead him away to watering? And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, whom Satan hath bound, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?"
Matthew 12:22, "Then was brought unto him one possessed with a devil, blind, and dumb: and he healed him, insomuch that the blind and dumb both spake and saw."
Authority to heal
Jesus said to, "Heal the sick"! Matthew 10:8, "Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give." I think it's interesting how Jesus didn't tell us to pray and ask God to heal the sick, He told us to heal the sick! Mark 16:17-18 all believers have the authority to lay hands on sick and diseased people and heal them in the name Jesus!
I have never seen where Jesus prayed, "Father, please heal this person!" Instead, we see that Jesus healed people with His spoken Word! In John 5:8, Jesus told the man to, "...Rise, take up thy bed, and walk."
The early church healed people in this same manner. In Acts 3:6, "...Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
Notice in Luke 9:1 that He not only gave His disciples authority over all devils and demons, but also to (cure diseases:) "Then he called his twelve disciples together, and gave them power and authority over all devils, and to cure diseases."
Authority is exercised when there is a RIGHT to exercise it. They had the authority to heal, and they were exercising it with a spoken word, just as Jesus did!
Mark 16:17-18 tells us that healing can come through the laying on of hands: "And these signs shall follow them that believe... they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover." and even Peter's shadow healed people (Acts 5:15)!
How to receive your healing
Know what is rightfully yours: You need to understand that you, as a child of God, are fully entitled to be healed through the blood that Jesus shed when He was whipped ("By His stripes!").
If you don't know it's God's will to heal you, then you're going to lack faith, and faith is how you receive what Christ did for you. Just like when you were saved, it was by faith you received Christ into your heart and life. The same is true with healing, it is by faith that we receive the promises of God.
To the believer, if you have sinned repent of them: 1 John 1:9 tells us to confess our sins and God will graciously forgives us, and those sins can no longer hinder or block you from being healed. Mk:11,25-26 And when ye stand praying, forgive if ye have ought against any: that your Father also which is in heaven may forgive you your trespasses.
26 But if ye do not forgive, neither will your Father which is in heaven forgive your trespasses.
(Matthew 6:15) Bitterness, hurt, unforgiveness can give the enemy legal ground to bring trouble upon you (Matthew 18:23-35), such as spirits of infirmity, sickness, diseases, etc. Make the choice today to release those hurt feelings, and pray something like this out loud, "Father, I have been holding bitterness in my heart against _______ because they did _________ to me, and I regret not forgiving them as you have asked of me.
Forgive me for not forgiving them as I should have. Today I now release those hurt feelings in Jesus' name, Amen." (Repeat prayer for different people and situations if necessary.) Forgiveness is a choice, and when you make that choice, God can help you heal and release those hurt feelings in your heart against that person(s).
Laying on of hands: This is a command Jesus gave to the believer, who is strong in faith, lays his or her hands on the sick (it's not 'them' healing you, it's God working 'through' them!). Mark 16:17-18, "And these signs shall follow them that believe... they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover."
Speak a word in faith: Jesus gave you authority to heal and be healed, therefore speak to the part of your body that's sick command the spirit of infirmity to be removed and declare I am the healed of the Lord IN JESUS' NAME!
Just like Jesus and the early church did: John 5:8, "Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." And in the early church: Acts 3:6, "Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk."
Common blockages to healing
Lack of Faith:
This is one of the most common blockages that can prevent healing. Jesus made it clear in many healing, that faith is important for you to use in receiving your healing. Matthew 9:29, "Then touched he their eyes, saying, According to your faith be it unto you." Also look at Matthew 9:22, "Daughter, be of good comfort; thy faith hath made thee whole."
Jesus said If thou canst believe, all things are possible to him that believeth." (Mark 9:23). Mark 11:24, "Therefore I say unto you, What things soever ye desire, when ye pray, believe that ye receive them, and ye shall have them." Lack of faith can block us from receiving (James 1:6-7).
You must know it's God's will to heal us:
Our faith is based upon God's Word, and if we don't know that it's God's will to be healed, we will doubt and beg God to heal us, instead of confidently receiving it in the name of Jesus.
2Corth:13-5
Examine yourselves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves. You know your standing with God, how that Jesus Christ is in you, except ye be reprobates?
Go to Ps: 51,1-19 and look at how David approached the Lord
Go before the Lord and say something like this: Father, if I have any sin that has not been confessed I ask you to forgive me now, if there is any hurt anger, or bitterness in my heart against anyone, I release all of it and anything that has held me in bondage to any physical problem right now that I may receive healing and be made whole. I thank you in Jesus' name.
