"HEALING THROUGH CHRIST" #2
Foundation Scriptures:Romans 10:17, 1 John 5:14, Acts 10:38,
Luke 13:16 Mark 9:23, 1 Peter 2:24, Matthew
8:16,17
In lesson #1, we studied that it is important to
RECOGNISE THAT JESUS IS YOUR HEALER 1 Peter 2:24
JESUS IS THE SAME YESTERDAY, & TODAY, & FOREVER Hebrews 13:8
PHYSICAL HEALING IS STILL PART OF CHRIST'S MINISTRY TODAY
Mark 16:15-20
In this lesson, we will study that TO RECEIVE HEALING THROUGH
CHRIST, YOU MUST KNOW FOR CERTAIN FROM THE WORD OF GOD that it is
HIS WILL FOR YOU TO BE well.
You never learn to bat just listening how to bat! You must start
batting!
You never learn to pray, just listening to someone teach on the
subject ... YOU MUST START TO PRAY.
You never learn to drive a car just listening to someone's
instructions! YOU LEARN BY DOING IT.
Most people would rather be listeners than doers!
TO RECEIVE HEALING FROM CHRIST YOU MUST KNOW GOD'S PROMISES TO
HEAL.
YOU MUST BE CONVINCED THAT THESE PROMISES ARE FOR YOU PERSONALLY.
Mark 9:23
So many folk say "Perhaps it is not God's Will to heal you." WHY
DO WE NOT PRAY THE SAME WAY REGARDING SIN? If you were witnessing
to an unbeliever, you would not say "Well, maybe it is not God's
Will for you to be saved and cleansed from your sin. We will
pray, if it be Thy will, Lord, save this person. No! We believe
God's Word. We believe His Promise. We believe John 3:16. We
believe John 1:12. We believe Romans 10:9,10. We believe 2 Cor.
5:17. We believe Revelation 3:20. We believe God's Word is
relative to today for all who will come to Christ, and we act on
His Word and prove it to be so!
We must get that same confidence and assurance within our hearts
that GOD'S WILL IS FOR US TO BE HEALED.
GOD'S WORD IS GOD'S VOICE TO US.
GOD'S WORD IS GOD'S WILL FOR US.
When you read the Bible, believe it is GOD SPEAKING TO YOU.
Unless you believe in the integrity of God's written Word, you
will never have a sound basis for faith. WE MUST GIVE THE WORD
THE SAME PLACE YOU WOULD GIVE CHRIST IF HE WERE STANDING IN YOUR
PRESENCE.
The amount of respect we give to God's Word is the amount of
respect we give to God. When you read the Bible - when you
meditate on His Word and know that Jesus still heals today ---
THEN YOU MUST KNOW THAT GOD PROMISES IN HIS WORD TO HEAL YOU.
YOU CANNOT HELP ANYONE WHO DOES NOT WANT TO HEAR THE WORD. In the
Bible, you see GOD'S NATURE REVEALED to us .. and you see GOD'S
ATTITUDE revealed towards sin, sickness and disease. God's nature
has not changed and His attitude has not changed towards sin,
sickness and disease.
Matthew 8:16,17 quotes Isaiah 53:4 and this verse is telling us
that Jesus actually took the cause of our sickness and disease.
JESUS HIMSELF TOOK OUR INFIRMITIES, AND BARE OUR SICKNESSES.
Many are confused about the chastening of the Lord and equate this
with sickness and disease. If a person believes that God is
chastening them with sickness then it would be presumptuous on
their part to ask God to take it away. Hebrews 12:6,7 is commonly
used to equate sickness with the chastening of the Lord. This
passage compares the chastening of the Lord with that of a human
parent. Jesus compared God with an earthly father. Matt. 7:11.
To understand this we must always keep in mind the comparison of
God with an earthly father.
"Chasten" in the Greek is PAIDEUO and denotes "TO TRAIN A CHILD
suggesting education, teaching, instruction, learning, teaching,
correction, discipline."
PAIDEIA (Greek.) is used in Ephesians 6:4, implying tutorage,
education or training,
disciplinary correction.
A good father would never get his son into trouble but would do
every possible to get him out of trouble. He may use the occasion
to teach him or drive home some truth. God always has our good in
mind.
Jesus said, ye are clean through the Word. John 15:3
Hebrews 4:12 says it is the Word which is Spirit that God uses to
teach us through our spirits.
2 Timothy 3:16 "All Scripture is inspired by God and profitable
for teaching, for reproof, for correction, for training in
righteousness; that the man of God may be adequate, equipped for
every good work." v.17
MEDITATE AND GET GOD'S WORD IN YOUR SPIRIT Joshua 1:8,9 Psalm
1:2, Col.3:16
OUR WORDS LOCATE US.
OUR WORDS ARE OUR FAITH SPEAKING.
You must know the truth of God's Word IN YOUR OWN LIFE. The Word
must STAY INSIDE YOU - not stay inside the cover. The Word should
be on our lips! Joshua 1:8,9
God's Word must get off the pages and into our spirits so that out
of the abundance of our heart, our mouth will speak. GOD'S WORD
IS TRUE and WE MUST KNOW THE REALITY OF IT. YOU MUST RELY UPON
THE INTEGRITY OF GOD'S WORD.
TO LOVE GOD is to LOVE GOD'S WORD
John 14:21-24 To love God, you will love His Word.
To love God, you will keep His Word 365 days a
year:
QUOTE THE WRITTEN WORD OF GOD
Jesus said to the devil, "It is written thou shalt not tempt the
Lord thy God" Matthew 4:7. When the Word is LIVING BIG WITHIN
YOUR SPIRIT (Col.3:16), you will be able to say in the face of
spiritual warfare, "I resist you in the Word and in the Name of
Jesus' and you will win! The devil will flee.
John 8:31,32 IF you continue in My Word .. it shall make you free.
OUR EXPERIENCE SHOULD BE AN ONGOING ONE IN THE WORD.
Under the Old Covenant, God said "I'll take sickness away from
the midst of thee .. there shall be no one miscarrying or barren
in your land; I will fulfil the number of your days." ... BUT YOU
SHALL SERVE THE LORD YOUR GOD! Exodus 23:25,26
Under the New Covenant, we have better promises .. it's a better
covenant. Hebrews 8:6
Sickness is a CURSE OF THE LAW. Deut. 28. This chapter covers
every disease known and it is curse for breaking God's law. But
Gal. 3:13 tells us Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the
law. Rise up and say "Satan, in Jesus'
Name, go from me!" YOU HAVE WILL POWER! YOU HAVE ABILITY TO
CHOOSE.Deut.30:19,20.
IS GOS'S WORD REAL TO YOU? Prov.4:20-23 Today, you can be well.
GOD WANTS TO HEAL YOU!
