Divine Healing Is The Will Of God For You
You must believe God always, wants you healed. It’s so simple, it takes help to understand. But sadly, most Christians receive plenty of help from religion. Look at it this way: if God wanted you sick, then why visit the doctor or take medication? It would seem more logical to allow the sickness to run its course so God’s will, could be done. What is the bottom line on God’s will for our healing? His word reveals that to us in 3 John 1:2, “Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth”. John was writing a letter to believers under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit. He revealed that the Lord wants us healthy just as much as He wants us to prosper emotionally and mentally.
Today some preachers are saying, “It is not about healing and miracle, it is about salvation”. Sadly they failed to realize, “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”. (Acts 10:38). This is a clear proof that sickness is not from God. Take a look at Isaiah 53:4 – 5, “Surely He hath borne our grief, and carried our sorrows; yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. 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”.
These verses reveal that physical healing is a part of the atonement of Christ. The Lord redeemed us from sickness just as much as He redeemed us from sin. Those are radical statements to many Christians because they have been taught that forgiveness of sin is what salvation is all about. Well that’s certainly a vital part of salvation, but that’s not all that Jesus accomplished. We were also healed by His stripes. Sickness is not of God just as sin is not of God.
Hear this “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: And the prayer of faith shall save the sick and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him” (James 5:14 – 15). That’s nearly too good to be true news, but that’s the Gospel. Don’t think the Lord makes you sick or at the very least, He allows Satan to make you sick to either punish or correct you. That kind of thinking will get you killed; it’s not what the Bible teaches. Sickness is not of God.
“Submit yourself therefore to God, resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7). All you need to is submit yourself to God. This is a clear teaching that some things are of God while are of the devil. Notice, it doesn’t present a third category: from God through the devil. No! Sickness has nothing to do with God! Submit to the things that are of God and resist the things of the devil. It’s that simple. To believe that God allows Satan’s actions, defies the logic of James 4:7. It eliminates our responsibility to resist and places ultimate responsibility for everything back on God.
The widely – accepted doctrine that God controls everything is a deception. If Satan can confuse and deceive you on that issue, he’s got you! Why? This is because you will stop resisting. No one wants to resist God’s will and if you think that God is behind your sickness, you will submit to it. And you won’t get healed and it lets Satan have his way in your life.
You need knowledge of the finished work of Christ to access your victorious life. “According as his divine power hath given unto us all things that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue, whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust”. (2 Peter 1:3 – 4).
Knowledge of a few basic truths, when properly understood and applied, will make a huge difference in releasing the power of God and receiving our healing. God has always placed His healing power within us and it is now under our authority. It isn’t up to God to determine who receives healing; it’s up to us! It’s our failure to understand and use the authority we have that is keeping God’s healing power from flowing through us as it should. It’s imperative that we discover what we have and learn how to release it.
