Healing

We have talked about this subject so many times, but I still feel like someone has not quite grasp the entire concept of Jesus wanting you healed. You see when you go to a healing service, or during your church service they ask if anyone needs to come down for healing, and you continue to go down there for healing for the same thing over and over, then you are probably not mixing faith with that healing so you are not being healed. Otherwise you wouldn't have to keep going for more. You see Jesus says it was once and for all, meaning He only needed to die on that cross one time for your healing, your sins, your iniquities, etc. And He did it for all, not just this one or that one, but for everybody. Now I am going to use scripture today that you might not would think of for healing scriptures, and alot of people do not like to even read this part of scripture because it is telling of all the curses that the law brought on you. But I want you to read them and pay attention to every single curse.

Deut. 28 v 16-22....curse shall you be in the city, and cursed shall you be in the country. Curse shall be your basket and your kneading bowl. Cursed shall be the fruit of your body, and the produce of your land, the increase of your cattle and the offspring of your flocks. Cursed shall you be when you come in, cursed shall you be when you go out. The Lord will send on you cursing, confusion, and rebuke in all that you set your hand to do until you are destroyed and until you perish quickly, because of the wickedness of your doings in which you have forsaken Me. The Lord will make the plaque cling to you until He has consumed you from the land which you are going to possess. The Lord will strike you with consumption, with fever, with inflammation, with severe burning fever, with the sword, with scorching and with mildew; they shall pursue you until you perish.

Deut. 28 vs 26-28....your carcasses shall be food for the birds of the air, and the beasts of the earth, and no one shall frighten them away. The Lord will strike you with the boils of Egypt with tumors with the scab and with the itch from which you cannot be healed. The Lord will strike you with madness, and blindness and confusion of heart.....

These are just a little of what the curses are, but they are enough to give you the picture. Once you have accepted Jesus as your Savior, you can no longer be destroyed by any of these things. All of these things He has already destroyed for you.

1 Pet. 2 v 24...who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we having died to sins might live for righteousness- by whose stripes you were healed.....

Gal. 3 v 13-14...Christ has redeemed us from the curse of the law having become a curse for us (for it is written, cursed is everyone who hangs on a tree), that the blessing of Abraham might come upon the gentiles in Christ Jesus that we might receive the promise of the spirit through faith....
(The word gentiles is referring to us as born again Christians.)

So there is no reason for you to be in poverty, be sick with any sort of illness, be in turmoil over any situation. You have but to believe. It all comes down to your faith in what His word says about your situation. When Jesus died on that cross (tree) He broke all the curses of the law.

Read the story of the boy who was healed of the spirit of epilepsy in Mark. The father of the boy brought him to Jesus and said, I brought him to your disciples but they could not do anything, then Jesus answered and said to them, oh ye of little faith, how long must I be with you? I think He was saying when are you going to get it?

Mark 9 v 19-24....He answered him and said, oh faithless generation how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to me. Then they brought him to him and when He saw him, immediately the Spirit convulsed him and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth. So He asked his father, how long has this been happening to him? And he said from childhood, and often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if you can do anything, have compassion on us and help us. Jesus said to him, If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes. Immediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, Lord I believe, Help my unbelief........

Jesus immediately tells this father, not "IF" I can, but IF you can believe!!!

So it all comes down to whether or not you can believe you are healed. And when you take your healing, then don't go and throw it away the very next moment, because you have a symptom of that illness. Don't give into the circumstance and believe it instead of what Jesus said. No, when that symptom hits you, you start praising God and saying how great you feel, and how blessed you are to be healed, and thank Him for your healing over and over. Then the spirit of that illness has to flee and leave you alone. Remember, you can not say you are healed and still keep confessing the sickness over yourself. That would be double mindedness. Give Jesus control over your body, not the illness.
