"HEALING THROUGH CHRIST" #5
Foundation Texts: Psalm 103:1-5, Mark 11:22-26, 1 Peter 3:12,
1 John 5:14,15, Rom 4:17.
Psalm 107:20 "He sent His Word ;& healed them & delivered them from
their destructions.'
Prov. 4:22 To those who attend to the Word & "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.
Some people say "if so & so is healed, I will believe in Divine
healing". If we would not say "if so & so is saved, I will believe
in salvation", then we should not look to the experience of people
in preference to the Word of God concerning healing.
Many who profess to be Christians do not live consecrated lives,
but this would not cause me to reject the doctrine of consecration.
God's Word is the basis for our faith and all our believing! 1
Corinthians 6:19,20 1 John 2:15-17 Romans 6:11-16 Proverbs 28:13
No person who allows himself to be ruled by the senses will ever
have victorious faith. Living in the sense realm only produces
uncertainty and a double minded man is unstable in all his ways!
James 1:8
Until God's Word gains control over your mind, your mind will be
swayed by feelings and symptoms. That is why it is so important to
get our mind renewed with the Word of God that we may prove what is
His good, acceptable and perfect will.
GOD'S WORD IS A HEALING WORD - Psalm 107:20, 34:10, Luke 1:37,
Heb. 4:16
The Word will heal you if you confess it and speak it from a heart
that believes God is able and will perform what He has promised.
If I confess God's promise and stand by that confession, God will
make good all that I have confessed. Romans 10:9,10
Don't let the devil rob you of your healing!
Confess God's promise in your heart!
Confess God's promise aloud!
Repeat it over and over. Romans 10:17
Keep saying it until your spirit and your words agree.
Hold fast to it until your body comes into line with the
Word of God.
PRAY AND ASK
Ps.103:13 declares "like as a father pitieth his children, so the
Lord pitieth them that fear Him".
Do you enjoy watching your children suffer? No! And neither does
your Heavenly Father enjoy watching you suffer. God, our Father,
invites us to ASK. Jer.33:3 1 Peter 3:12 "The eyes of the Lord are
over the righteous and His ears are open unto their prayers."
1 John 5:14,15
You must have confidence that the promise is TO YOU! You must know
that your heart does not condemn you' When you know this, you will
not WAVER when you pray.
BELIEVE THAT YOU RECEIVE WHEN YOU ASK! Mark 11:24
So many people pray for years asking God to grant their request,
but THEY NEVER BELIEVE THAT THEY HAVE RECEIVED THE ANSWER THROUGH
FAITH.
Faith is an inner knowing or assurance that you are convinced that
what God promised, and what you asked for, belongs to-you. Your
faith is based on the Word of God alone.
Prov. 4:20-22 tells us to watch our ears, eyes and heart because
our heart can be influenced by what we see, ear or feel unless we
re only keeping our focus on the Word of God which will produce
health to our flesh. Heb. 12:2 JESUS IS THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF
YOUR FAITH. Don't look at distractions!
WHAT ATTITUDE DO YOU HAVE?
1) Do you "agree" t at t e Word of God is true? Many people agree
that it is God's Word - and they give MENTAL ASSENT to it.
They read it, quote it and even memorise it ... but that's as
far as they go. THEY REFUSE TO ACT ON THE WORD.
2) Do you "believe" it when you "feel" it?
Some people gauge their healing on how they felt at the time
they were prayed for. Maybe they say "I think I'm healed
because I feel so good". "I felt I received a blessing".
REAL FAITH IS INDEPENDENT OF WHAT YOU FEEL, SEE OR HEAR ..
IT'S BASED ON THE WORD OF GOD ALONE.
3) Do you believe God's Word and act on it? James 1:22-25
These people believe that God watches over His Word to perform
it. Jeremiah 1:12
The one who "agrees" says "I believe God's Word but
somehow it doesn't seem to be
for me." (Mental assent only)
The one who "feels", says "When I see it, I'll believe
it:" (Ruled by the senses,
reasoning and emotions.)
The one in faith says "I HAVE IT NOW. By His stripes
I was healed.
God's Word says "Himself
(Jesus) took my infirmities and
bare my sicknesses."
Man's way is to keep looking at the symptoms but God's way is to
keep looking at JESUS .. keep look at THE WORD OF GOD, allowing
nothing to distract you. Romans 4:17 John 11:41 While Lazarus was
still dead, Jesus thanked His Father that God had heard His prayer
for Lazarus to be raised.
JESUS TELLS US HOW TO PRAY AND RECEIVE THE ANSWER Mark 11:24 When
you pray, believe that you receive the answer.
The Bible says -- at the time you pray, believe that you receive
the answer, and in time you shall have it. We want so often to
read it as saying "when you desire something, pray, and when you
see it, believe you have received."
JESUS TOLD US ... BELIEVE AND YOU WILL SEE.
MAN SAYS "I'll BELIEVE WHEN I SEE.
This promise is conditional - BELIEVE YOU RECEIVE IT WHEN YOU
PRAY, (your part) and you shall have it! (God's part)
Mark 16:17,18 BELIEVE WHEN HANDS ARE LAID UPON YOU THAT YOU HAVE
YOUR ANSWER, and you shall recover.
A believer will maintain agreement with the Word when he knows that
God has said "My covenant will I not break nor alter the thing that
is gone out of my lips." Psalm 89:34
Rev.12:11 OVERCOME SATAN BY THE BLOOD OF THE LAMB & THE WORD
OF YOUR TESTIMONY.
You overcome the enemy because
a) you are a born again child of God, redeemed
through the Blood of the Lamb
b. you confess the Word which defeats your
adversary.
