Divine Health

With increasing advancements in medical science, which is a laudable and Godly thing, more and more Christians we find it a herculean task to trust God for their healing which is really a done deal by the finished work of Jesus on the cross. The price for our healing has already been paid for in full.

Going to see your General Practitioner or a specialist on your health matter is alright, but the snag is that these men are limited in what they heal/cure no matter the breakthrough that have been experienced in their field. Medical science is awesome, but I show you a more excellent way: divine health/healing.

Scriptures abound to prove that healing/divine health is God’s will for us(Matt. 8:16-17, 1 Peter 2:24, Isaiah 53:5, Deuteronomy 7:15).

There’s a lot of head knowledge of scriptures in Christendom,however, when it comes to a working of these scriptures we are found wanting failing to understand that we are expected  to stand and not to yield grounds to the devil when he attacks our health in the context of our discussion. From my own personal experience of standing on healing scriptures for the past eighteen-nineteen years of my life, I have come to notice that the devil always prey on our feelings to put sickness on us by manipulating our flesh with symptoms thereby causing us to think sick, and when think we are sick we become sick(Proverbs 23:7). You think you are sick then you are sick, there’s nothing even God can do about that because God cannot break His Word and the devil knows this. So his life’s time ambition is to make you think sick so that he can have your permission to afflict you. And basically also, a man would speak out of the abundance of his mind/heart( Matt. 12:34-37). And what you say you have. That,my brother/sister, is a spiritual law( Proverbs 6:2,  Mark 11:23). Your adversary brings symptoms(pains,aches,etc) to deceive you that you are sick. If you fall for this gimmick he will succeed in making you fall sick even if Christ has taken your sicknesses. He preyed on your flesh and made you sick with your permission! The devil can only operate in your life when you permit him( Ephesians 4:27). The thing to understand is that in the school of divine health/healing there is no room for walking  by  our feelings(senses) because when we do, the devil we beat us silly! (2 Corinthians 5:7)

Are we advocating we deny what we are going through?No. But despise those pains and symptoms and the doctor’s report and rather choose to believe the infallible Word of God that can never fail you. It is at this point that you begin to speak the Word of God as it relates to your health. Stand your ground and keep speaking even in the face of death( the Word is superior to death, it swallows up death in the form of any sickness you can think of-2 Corinthians 5:4). Chances are the devil will whisper into your ears that you are going to die. Tell him that no weapon(sickness) fashioned against you shall prosper,and that you will live and declare the works of the Lord( Isaiah 54:17, Psalms 118:17). You need to stand and stand and stand everyday of your life on those precious healing words of Jesus.

‘How about if I die when I stand on the word?’ Chances are that you will die! No-one ever dies standing on the Word. I am a living witness. You don’t think that way and not die. Chances are you don’t even believe the words you are saying. If your doctor gave you a drug that cures cancer, do you ever stop to ask whether you would die taking it. You trust him and take the drug and you are made well. People trust the drugs they take,but when it comes to the Word of God they become double minded and these kind of folks do not receive anything from God(James 1:6-8).

Here is the conclusion of what we are saying: you are already healed by the atoning death of Jesus on the cross. Resist the devil with the Word when he comes to steal your health and he will flee from you. Resist him STEADFAST in the faith( John 10:10, James 4:7, 1 Peter 5:8-9).
