Agree With God

"For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure." - Philippians 2:13


God wants (His will) you well even more than you want to be well.

Come in agreement with God.

Isaiah's Gospel

Take a closer look at Isaiah 53:4-5 and meditate on the words.


"Surely (Certainly) he hath borne (suffered) our griefs (sickness), and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. 5 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." -Isaiah 53:4-5 

Isaiah's prophetic words speak of how Christ's sacrifice would heal us in every area of our lives.
Jesus accomplished physical, mental, emotional and spiritual healing through the cross.

Command It

Command sickness to leave your body.
 "...the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up..." - James 5:15
*The 'prayer of faith' is a commanding prayer.

Jesus never prayed for the sick, He commanded sickness to leave.


"....And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity." - Luke 13:12




 "After leaving the synagogue that day, Jesus went to Simon’s home, where he found Simon’s mother-in-law very sick with a high fever. “Please heal her,” everyone begged. Standing at her bedside, he rebuked the fever, and it left her. And she got up at once and prepared a meal for them." - Luke 4:38-39



"Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk." - John 5:8



We don't have to persuade God to be merciful.

God expressed His mercy when He sent His son to die on a cross for us. His desire for us, His children, is wholeness.


Acts 17:11 "... because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy."



"Every plant, which my heavenly Father hath not planted, shall be rooted up." - Matthew 15:13



God expects us to use the authority He has given us and command sickness to leave.



 "If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you." - Matthew

Living Strong!

"He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might He increases strength."


-Isaiah 40:29


God will not only raise you up but He will give you power to pull yourself up.


When you grow faint, and we all do in this race, remember God and His strength. 
God never faints or grows weary; God never sleeps. He's eyes are on you so whatever you're going through and whatever is causing you weariness or to grow faint, remember the power of God that lives down on the inside of you.


Rise up; take up your bed and walk.


He will renew your strength..





 The Lord is my shepherd;

 I have all that I need.
 He lets me rest in green meadows;
      he leads me beside peaceful streams.
 He renews my strength.
 He guides me along right paths,
      bringing honor to his name.
 Even when I walk
      through the darkest valley,
 I will not be afraid,
      for you are close beside me.
 Your rod and your staff
      protect and comfort me.
 You prepare a feast for me
      in the presence of my enemies.
 You honor me by anointing my head with oil.
 My cup overflows with blessings.
 Surely your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me
      all the days of my life,
   and I will live in the house of the Lord
      forever. 


               - Psalm 23

God Was With Jesus

"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




*God's will is always to heal.

Communion Is Key!

"And He took the cup, and gave thanks, and gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all of it; for this is my blood  of the new testament, which is shed for many for the remission of sins." - Matthew 26:26-28




The Cup:  Emblem of Jesus' blood that was shed for sin.




The Body, Broken:  Emblem of Jesus' body that was broken for us.




God gave everything! He redeemed mankind from the curse Adam's fall had brought upon us all......


We have available to us: salvation, peace of mind, healing, prosperity.


Communion is intimacy with our Lord and reminds us of His broken body and His blood...
before taken of the elements, ask Him to cleanse you of anything that would separate you from Him..for forgiveness.


Receive through this intimacy....let it flow over you and remind you of the price He paid for your healing and your salvation. Let it restore you and make you whole.

Receive

Psalm 103: 2-3 
"Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits: who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases."


Receive your salvation by faith.
Receive your healing by faith.


Ask - Believe - Receive...  
....and never never never lose your praise! 


Praise your way through!

Now, Choose Life!

"I call heaven and earth to record (as a witness) this day against you, that I have set before you life and death, blessing and cursing: therefore choose life (now choose life), that both thou and thy seed may live (so that you and your children may live): That thou mayest love the Lord thy God, and that thou mayest obey His voice (listen to His voice), and that thou mayest cleave unto Him (hold fast to Him): for He is thy life (He is your life), and the length of thy days (He will give you many years): that thou mayest dwell in the land which the Lord swore unto they fathers (in the land he swore to give to your fathers - Abraham, Isaac and Jacob), to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, to give them."


- Deuteronomy 30: 19-20




We have a choice: Life or Death, Blessing or Cursing.
What are you choosing to believe?
Do you believe God? Do you believe that He is faithful to give you life?
Do you believe He wants you to have the life He created for you - the length of days He planned for you?
What are you speaking?
What are you believing and what are you expecting for?
God is able and willing but He can't do what we can't believe for.
If we are praying for healing but at the same time believing that it may be His will for us to be sick, then we are "Double-minded and Unstable in our ways." - James 1:8.

Save The Lost/Heal The Sick

"Jesus came to save the lost and heal the sick." Luke 19:1-10


Question: If it's God's 'Will' for everyone to receive healing, then why isn't everyone healed.


Answer: It's also God's 'Will' for everyone to be saved but everyone doesn't receive their salvation.


*The provision is available - it's up to us to receive it and we receive through faith. 
And.."Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." Romans 10:17

God's Will To Heal

Tradition has taught 'The Church' to pray, "If it be God's will" and as a result, we're being robbed of healing. 
We should know God's will to heal before we ever pray.
We can know because God's Word tells us what His will is. 
The Word of God is the Will of God.
Praying "If it be your will" is unbelief. 


Tradition also teaches that miracles do not happen today. 
What we perceive as "Miracles" are really promises. 
Again, God's covenant/promises with Abraham and we are the heirs to those promises.
Receiving healing, spiritual gifts, prosperity and protection, requires activating your faith and believing the promises of God. 


Church tradition also tells us that God will get glory from our sickness. 
However, the Bible tells us that people gave glory to God when they witnessed the lame walking and blinded eyes opening. 
God's power manifested in His children is what brings God glory.
John 15:18 says "Jesus said the Father is glorified when we bear much fruit."
Is sickness bearing fruit? No!
Not only does this not make sense but it also disagrees with the Word of God.

God wants His people well! He wants every believer to be whole as He said in 3 John 2, "Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth."


Jesus came into the world to do the Will of His Father. 
John 6:38,"For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of Him that sent me." 


When you receive Christ as your Lord and Savior, the first step to spiritual maturity is not baptism, but is realizing your position with God. 
You are heirs of God, joint heirs with Jesus.
Neither Baptism with water nor Baptism with The Holy Spirit will bring you into spiritual maturity. It's learning God's will for your life that will grow you up in Him.


Matthew 6:10 of 'The Lord's Prayer,' "Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven." There is no sickness in heaven, so that alone should clarify God's will concerning healing.

God Made A Promise

Jesus' death ratified the Abrahamic covenant (God's covenant/promises with Abraham) which granted us healing for our bodies, prosperity, and well-being for our families. These promises are the basis of the entire New Testament. 
It was because of this covenant, Jesus came to earth.


Genesis 17: 1-5, 7 "And I will establish my covenant between me and thee and they seed after thee in their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God unto thee, and to thy seed after thee." 


English Standard Version says it like this: 
"And I will establish my covenant between me and you and your offspring after you throughout their generations for an everlasting covenant, to be God to you and to your offspring after you."


If you are 'In Christ,' you are the seed of Abraham and therefore you have a 'Blood bought' right to these promises.
This should confirm for every child of God the question: 
"Is it God's Will that you be healed." 


God sealed His side of the agreement by swearing an oath. 
Genesis 22:16, God said, "By myself, have I sworn.


Abraham's side of the agreement was to live an upright life.

Lack Of Knowledge

"My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." Hosea 4:6 

Our faith in God is paralyzed and cannot operate beyond our knowledge of His Word.  
When we learn God's Word, we understand His Will.


*Everything we receive from God is through faith and the Bible tells us that "Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God." Romans 10:17 


So in order to know what God's Will is concerning healing, we have to understand Him, what He has accomplished for us and what He desires to give us. 
We do this through the Bible, His Word.

The Secret Place

He that dwelleth in the secret place of the Most High
        
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.

I will say of the LORD,
        
He is my refuge and my fortress:
my God; in him will I trust.

Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
        
and from the noisome pestilence.

He shall cover thee with his feathers,
        
and under his wings shalt thou trust:
his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
        
nor for the arrow that flieth by day;

nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
        
nor for the destruction that wasteth at noonday.

A thousand shall fall at thy side,
        
and ten thousand at thy right hand;
but it shall not come nigh thee.

Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
        
and see the reward of the wicked.

Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,
        
even the Most High, thy habitation;

there shall no evil befall thee,
        
neither shall any plague come nigh thy dwelling.

For he shall give his angels charge over thee, 
        
to keep thee in all thy ways.

They shall bear thee up in their hands,
        
lest thou dash thy foot against a stone. 

Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
        
the young lion and the dragon shalt thou trample under feet. 

Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
        
I will set him on high, because he hath known my name.

He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
        
I will be with him in trouble;
I will deliver him, and honor him.

With long life will I satisfy him,
        
and show him my salvation.

-Psalm 91
