"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
| |||||
I will say of the LORD,
| |||||
Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler,
| |||||
He shall cover thee with his feathers,
| |||||
Thou shalt not be afraid for the terror by night;
| |||||
nor for the pestilence that walketh in darkness;
| |||||
A thousand shall fall at thy side,
| |||||
Only with thine eyes shalt thou behold
| |||||
Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge,
| |||||
there shall no evil befall thee,
| |||||
For he shall give his angels charge over thee,
| |||||
They shall bear thee up in their hands,
| |||||
Thou shalt tread upon the lion and adder:
| |||||
Because he hath set his love upon me, therefore will I deliver him:
| |||||
He shall call upon me, and I will answer him:
| |||||
With long life will I satisfy him,
|
