If it's God's will for you to be sick, why did He waste His Son, Jesus on the Cross so that we can be DELIVERED FROM THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD? Galatians 1:4. There would have really been no need for Christ to suffer and die.
Friend, God wants you well but you've got to participate in the process. Participating in this blissful process begins by knowing what He has said and done. Know that He wants you well and Believe it. Believe who He is and you'll Live in Him. You'll live in what He has provided! Healing is part of your inheritance as God's child. You shouldn't be saved and stuck. You are saved and that should result in living a life of freedom. Amen.
Knowing who God is, what He has done for you through Christ, who you are in Him, what you have and all you can do through Christ will position you to believe, receive and walk in your Kingdom rights. How can you know all these things? it's through the Written Word! That powerful information does not come through the doctor's report, evil news that flies through the media, and every other source of bad news that could make one fearful and defeated. FAITH COMES BY HEARING (it's continuous) THE WORD OF GOD!
Right knowledge/teaching leads to right believing and right believing will always produce right living.
Friend, God has provided your healing before you got saved. Beyond that, he wants you to walk in Divine Health. Divine health is actually better than divine healing.
God Himself is an eternal provision. He gave Himself for you. So, will he not freely give you all things? Good News Alert🚨🚨🚨: He HAS! HE HAS PROVIDED THEM ALL! GLORY! Nothing is missing or broken in God's Provision for you. It is the provision of THE LORD who is good and perfect. God is not man. He is God.
I LOVE ACTS 10:38. Here is what it says: 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.
I ask you, 'IS GOD WITH YOU?' Just in case you're in doubt or you do not feel like He is with you, God said, "I will NEVER leave you nor forsake you." Never is a long time, friend. Whether you believe it or not, whether you feel it or not, God is with you! (Hebrews 13:5).
God is ALWAYS with you and this implies that THE SAME ANOINTING that worked in Jesus to heal the sick, raise the dead, cleanse the lepers, and do every other good work is resident in you. For this reason, He has said to as many that believe in Him: HEAL THE SICK (not tell/beg me to heal the sick), RAISE THE DEAD (not cry out to me to raise them up), CLEANSE THE LEPERS (not ask me to cleanse them) - Matthew 10:8. Christ will be unfair to say that you should do all these things if he didn't empower you to do them. But you know what? My Jesus is strategically good.
It is no longer God's responsibility or full responsibility for us to see the dead rise, the deaf hear, the sick healed, the lame walk, etc. God has now given power unto men - men that believe in Jesus - to see these things happen. Glory! When He ascended, He gave gifts to men - Gifts of Grace! I Love it!
WHEN YOU GO THROUGH THE SCRIPTURES, YOU'LL NOTICE THAT JESUS NEVER BEGGED OR ASKED GOD TO HEAL A SINGLE INDIVIDUAL WHILE HE WAS ON EARTH; NAH. INSTEAD, HE USED HIS AUTHORITY OVER THE EVIL WORKS THAT HE ENCOUNTERED. The GOOD NEWS IS THAT HE HAS GIVEN US THE SAME AUTHORITY. SO, WHY SHOULD YOU ASK OR BEG GOD TO HEAL YOU???
DON'T YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE?
THIS IS WHO YOU ARE? CHRIST! Are you 'too humble' to accept that? Well, that's a major reason why you aren't seeing the power of God flow in and through you. It's not humility to consider yourself below God's standard; it's self-righteousness/self-centeredness. In fact, it's hypocrisy. Humility is simply submitting to God and by extension, submitting to who He calls you and doing what He has said you should do.
AS CHRIST IS, SO ARE WE IN THIS WORLD (1 John 4:17). NOT IN THE WORLD TO COME, BUT IN THIS PRESENT EVIL WORLD.
Friend, YOU AREN'T ONLY PRESENT IN THIS EVIL WORLD, YOU ARE PRESENT IN GOD BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE IN JESUS. YOUR LIFE IS HIDDEN WITH CHRIST IN GOD. GLORY.
SO, JUST TAKE YOUR AUTHORITY. USE IT!
Honestly, you've stayed for too long on this mountain. You've been lying (as though you are helpless) on the mountain that God said you should speak to (Mark 11:23). Your life is built on a Rock that is greater than any mountain. So, rightly position yourself (by faith) on that Rock - Jesus.
It's interesting to note that well-meaning, devoted believers beg God for healing and still die untimely or remain sick. They are so sincere in begging God to heal them but they are sincerely wrong! Some think, "If God wants to heal me, he would". They don't know or believe that he has. I'm not condemning anyone but God isn't wicked; No! God wants you well. He wants you whole - spirit, soul, and body - and has made you (your spirit) whole in Christ. He wants your soul (mind, will, emotions, and conscience) and body to experience his healing power in you (your spirit).
I might not have all the reasons why people (especially Christ believers) die from any sickness or remain sick but I know that begging God for healing isn't what we should be doing at any time at all because the system of healing has taken a new turn in Christ - you now have raising from the dead power, healing power inside of you!
Therefore, using our authority is what we should be doing. Usually, you beg for what you don't have but Paul makes us understand that you already have an exceeding greatness of power in you! (Ephesians 1:19). You just need to know, acknowledge and release it (Ephesians 1:17-18, Philemon 1:6).
Now, does this mean that God has never answered people who begged Him so that they or their loved ones could live or get healed? I believe He has (He is merciful! and he's so big that he can accommodate our inadequacies) but He has given us a more excellent way through His Word so that we won't have to live like slaves or beggars but live as sons - the ones who have authority over all - before Him. I believe you'd see better results when you use your authority rather than beg God to use the authority he has already given you.
We should be knowing and using what we have rather than begging God as though He is angry with us, indifferent to our challenges and has done nothing to meet our needs. Healing is the children's bread.
God wants you to live, live well and live out all the time He has planned for you to use here on earth. If a person dies according to God's timeline for him, God didn't kill him, he's only used up his time (Psalm 139:16). When a battery dies in the hand of its consumer after a specified time of proper use, it isn't the manufacturer that killed it; it only means that the battery's lifespan came to an end. That's the way it is with us all. We all have our God-ordained times of expiration here on earth. 'God's time' we say, 'is the best.' He makes everything beautiful in its own time!
The major point I'm driving at in this piece is that you shouldn't be telling God about a mountain that He told you to speak to. You aren't helpless; so, don't think you are. 'Oh, but I'm just a human'. Get rid of that mindset! You aren't only human my dear; you are supernatural. Stop giving satan the ability to think you through who you're not.
The moment you believed in Jesus and received the forgiveness of your sin, you received healing too. You received prosperity; you received everything good (Philemon 1:6, Ephesians 1:3). By His stripes, you were healed (1 Peter 2:24). When? Were! So, as we speak, you are healed! What God now expects you to do is to know that you have been healed, believe it, and rebuke whatever sickness or discomfort you're experiencing or would ever experience (Mark 11:23). The Righteous are as bold as a Lion, and the Righteousness which is of Faith speaks.
Remember, Life and death are in the power of the tongue (Proverbs 18:21). With your mouth, you can bless things or curse things. You can bless your body and curse the sickness in your body. It would obey you!
AS LONG AS YOU WANT TO LIVE BELOW GOD'S WILL AND PROVISION FOR YOU, YOU WILL; BUT YOU DON'T HAVE TO.
Believers are to command things to work and see them work. If any part of your body is not working, SPEAK TO IT! Stop speaking to God about a problem he told you to speak to. If you'd speak to a problem, you've got to know it. So, it's not wrong to ask God why something isn't working in your life (if you don't know). He would show you. God is faithful.
'YOU SHALL DECREE A THING,' GOD SAID, 'AND IT SHALL BE ESTABLISHED.' AMEN!
SPEAK!
I must say that when you rebuke sickness, you might not always see an immediate manifestation. It might look like nothing happened when you spoke but something (or some things) really happened when you spoke. Don't lose faith. Remember that God wants you well and by His stripes, you were healed.
God bless you!
You're Loved.
