"HEALING THROUGH CHRIST" #4
Memory verse: Proverbs 4:20-23, Psalm 103:3
Foundation Texts: Isaiah 53, Matthew 8:17, Psalm 107:20, Leviticus
14 & 15
DIVINE HEALING IS A PART OF SALVATION
Jesus the Healer cannot be separated from Jesus the Saviour, and if
you want healing for your body, you must be willing to receive
healing for your sins. God's order is expressed in Psalm 103:3,
"Who FORGIVETH all thine INIQUITIES; who HEALETH all thy DISEASES."
First - Forgiveness for your sins
Second - Healing for your diseases
For every promise, there is always a condition!
God's condition for His healing covenant in Exodus 23:25 was "Ye
shall SERVE the Lord your God ... AND He will bless your bread and
your water, and I will remove sickness from your midst." When the
condition is fulfilled, then He promised "I will take sickness away
from the midst of thee".
Until you know God's Will concerning healing, you have no basis for
faith. When we know it is His Will to heal us, we have no
difficulty in praying with faith. (1 John 5:14,15). YOU CAN ONLY
APPROPRIATE BY FAITH THAT WHICH YOU KNOW IS PROVIDED FOR IN THE
GOSPEL.
Through the Redemptive work of Christ, both salvation and bodily
healing were provided.
Through the types in Leviticus l4, we see that, under the law of
Moses, it was constantly through atonement that sickness was
healed. (Atonement, Hebrew "KAPHAR", to cover, cancel. Greek
"KATALLAGE", exchange, reconciliation).(Lev.16-Law of Atonement;
Leviticus 17 - Blood for atonement)
In Matthew 8:17 it states that Jesus healed ALL diseases. Christ
made no exceptions while healing the sick who came to Him, because
His atonement was for all. (Rom.5:11) ("whosoever" John 3:16 - and
that includes US)! WHAT CALVARY PROVIDES IS FOR EVERYONE.
No-one can be "justified by faith" until it is preached to them -
and how could you receive healing by faith until it is preached to
you?
Psalm 107:20 "He sent His Word and healed them and delivered
them from their destructions."
Prov. 4:22 To those that attend to the Word and "find" it, it
is health to all their flesh.
1 Thess. 2:12 It is the Word of God that effectually works in
those that believe.
God's way of saving us through being "born again" - of healing
the body - of doing whatever He wants to do - is to SEND HIS WORD
- and THEN FULFIL THAT WORD WHERE IT PRODUCES FAITH.
God has 7 REDEMPTIVE NAMES and these were given for the specific
purpose of revealing God's Redemptive attitude to man. These
Redemptive names tell us what our redemption includes! The
blessings revealed to us in each one of these names are all in
the Attonment.
JEHOVAH-SHAMMAH - "the Lord is Present" Eph. 2:13 "we are made
nigh by the blood of His Cross."
JEHOVAH-SHALOM - "the Lord is our Peace" Is. 53:5, "the
chastisement of our peace was upon Him"(the
chastening for our well-being fell upon Him
and by His scourging we are healed." NASB)
JEHOVAH-RA-AH - "the Lord is my Shepherd" - He gave His life
for the sheep Jn.10:11
JEHOVAH-JIREH - "the Lord will provide" - Christ was the
offering provided on Calvary. Hebrews 10:10
JEHOVAH-NISSI - "the Lord our banner" - He became our banner
by spoiling principality and powers on the
Cross (Col. 2:15)
JEHOVAH-TSIDKENU - "the Lord our righteousness" - He made it
possible for every person who believes to
receive the gift of righteousness Rom. 5:17
JEHOVAH-RAPHA - "I am the Lord that healeth thee" - Matt.
8:17 Himself (Jesus) took our infirmities and
bare our sicknesses.
THE BRAZEN SERPENT was a type of Christ (John 3:14, Numbers
21:9). The people were told to "look upon it and live". If
bodily healing is not provided in the Atonement, then why would
these dying persons be instructed to look at the type of the
Atonement for their physical healing? Their curse was removed by
the lifting up of the type of Christ and ours is removed also by
the lifting up of Christ. (John 3:14, 8:28, John 12:32,33)
OUR REDEMPTIVE BLESSINGS ARE CONDITIONAL! John 3:16, 1 John 3:2,
James 5:14,15 1 Peter 5:7, Luke 6:38
Every promise carries a condition and we must make sure that we
OBEY ALL GOD'S WORD Only when your heart does not condemn you,
can you have confidence towards God. Deuteronomy 28 describes t
e@curse (which includes different diseases) that came upon people
because of their disobedience and because their service to the
Lord was not done "with gladness and joyfulness of heart". We
can see, therefore, that in order to have the curse removed, A
CHANGE OF HEART AND ATTITUDE IS NEEDED.
God does not lower His standards because we are in the day of His
Grace. The obedient ones who do His Word still receive the
fulfilment of the Promise.Is.1:19,Ps.37:4, Matt.6:33, James 4:7,
Matthew 4:4.
We should desire healing to be strong for service to God!
We should desire healing for the glory of God!
We should desire healing because we desire His total Will in our
lives.
Prov. 3:7,8 God's Word declares that if you will fear the Lord
and depart from evil, it will be health(medicine) to your navel
and marrow (Moistening) to your bones.
Eph. 6:2,3 "Honour thy father and mother that it may be well with
you, and that you may live long on the earth."
FAITH ALWAYS INVOLVES OBEDIENCE TO ALL THE WORD. 1 Cor. 15.3 4
Rom. 12:1 Present your @d a living sacrifice to God if you
want it to be healed.
TOUCH HIM AND BE MADE WHOLE Matt. 14:36
Don't hold on to any sin, bias, selfishness, resentment, doubt,
fear, tradition of man or the lies of the devil.
HOW CAN YOU TOUCH HIM? Believe His Word! ASK & believe He hears
when you pray.:
IT IS YOUR MOVE! God has provided healing and every other
blessing for us in His Word. You must now move before He moves
again.
OUR MOVE is to ACT ON HIS WORD; EXPECTING TO RECEIVE; BELIEVING
BEFORE SEEING!
After seeing that Jesus bore our diseases as well as our sins on
the Cross, and therefore we don't have to bear them, our next
move is to pray and believe that we receive. Mark 11:24. While
you are sick, when you pray, believe that God hears and answers.
When you pray, believe that you receive the answer, and you shall
have it! Then say "Father, I thank you that You have heard me."
OUR FAITH CAUSES GOD TO ACT. Hebrews 11:6
