OUR FATHER PROMISED US HEALING...Expect to be Healed

 


BELIEVING GOD FOR HEALING


Introduction


In the bible, God told the people of Israel that He is the Lord that heals them and He kept faith with them  40 years in the wilderness.  How did He heal them, through His word?  The bible says in Psalms 107:20 that He sent His word and healed them and delivered them from their destructions.  


God heals all who come to Him believing His promises.  His word is the provision made for your healing.  No one can fulfil destiny in sickness, and if sickness is not rejected and chased out, it seeks to destroy the body that has been bought with a price, the blood of Jesus.  Christians should not tolerate sickness because your body  and spirit, now belong to the Lord's.  


A healthy body is the reason you can participate in daily personal and group activities, if you get sick, you are withdrawn.  Jesus Christ came to do the will of God, one of which is the healing of sick bodies.  This is found in Isaiah 61:1-3,  a prophesy spoken by Isaiah long before Christ was born saying that: 


"The Spirit of the Lord is God is Upon me, because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek; he hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound.


To proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn.


To appoint unto them that mourn in Zion, to give unto them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified".


That was the scripture they gave Jesus to read when He entered the synagogue in Luke 4:18-20, after which He said "This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears Luke 4:21.  He read the three chapters out to their hearing, so they will hear and believe that He came to among other things heal the sick and take away their sins.


The anointing He received after His baptism was an empowerment to fulfill destiny and immediately He returned from the wilderness, He started preaching and teaching ministry Mathew 4:17-25.  That power and zeal of the spirit  is what the writer of Acts described in Acts 10:38 says:


"How Jesus was anointed with the Holy Ghost and power, and He about doing good, healing all that were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him". He was anointed with the power to heal the sick among other things and the bible recorded in  Mathew 12:5, 14:36 and Luke 6:29 that a great multitude followed Him, and He healed them all. 


So the Lord says to you fear not, I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand - Isaiah 41:10 .  There are more healing scriptures to assure you that whatever the sickness may be, it is only a phase in your life, the stranger will sure go.  


They include:

1. Exodus 15:26 – I am the Lord who heals you.

2. Exodus 23: 25-26 – I will take sickness away from you, the number of your days I will fulfill.

3. 1 Kings 8:56 -  There has not failed one word of all His good promise

5. Psalm 119:89 - Forever, O’Lord, Your word is settled in heaven.

6. Mathew 8:17 – Himself took away our infirmities, and bore our sicknesses

7. Mathew 12:15 – Great multitude followed Him, and He healed them all

8. Mathew 14:36 – As many as touched Him were made perfectly whole

9. Luke 6:19 - The whole multitude sought to touch Him, and He healed them all.

Numbers 23:19 - God is not a man, that He should lie, neither the son of man that He should repent: has He said, and shall He not do it? Or has He spoken, and shall He not make it good?

Isaiah 53:4-5 - "Surely he took up our pain and bore our suffering, yet we considered him punished by God, stricken by him, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds, we are healed." 

Jeremiah 30:17 - God restores health, He says: "But I will restore you to health and heal your wounds,’ declares the LORD"

Hebrews 13:8 – Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and today, and forever.   


The Lord promised healing even for the entire nation, if the people can humble themselves and pray to God. In 2 Chronicles 7:14-15, God says:  "if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place."


He says "I have seen their ways, but I will heal them; I will guide them and restore comfort to Israel’s mourners, creating praise on their lips. Peace, peace, to those far and near,” says the LORD. “And I will heal them.”  You can put your city of country in the place of Israel and pray with the word of God for the healing your nation needs.

 

If you are sick, ask the Lord to heal you based on the promises in His word or be present where His healing anointing is present, and you shall be healed.  The woman with the issue of blood also heard of Jesus and believed.  She said in her heart, if I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole Mark 5:25-34. So, she came from behind and touched him and was healed.  


If you look at these scriptures, you will realize that all you need to do is 'Believe' the word of God in your heart.  The scriptures say people heard of Him and believed that Jesus was anointed to heal sicknesses and diseases.  So, they came to be healed, and they were healed - Luke 6:27. 


Your faith should be on the Lord, and not the Pastor conducting the service. It is never easy to receive healing if you have no personal knowledge of the Healer, Jesus Christ.  Many people want to be healed without knowing the healer. So they came to healing meetings without faith in Christ.


Such people probably went to see what the Pastor can do for them, and of course, the Pastor cannot do much. They will go back home the way they came, God forbid.  Your faith has a lot to do with your healing.  You should also know the healer, and put your faith in Him, not the Pastor or Minister conducting the service.


If you are praying for yourself, you should believe that you received, and you shall receive whatever you desire from the Lord.  Believe in Jesus and the power in His name. He has an everlasting priesthood. Jesus, the same yesterday, today and forever.  Sickness is afraid of His name, demons are powerless and must get out of the way, at the mention of His name.  


So, when you pray in His name, believe you have received your healing, and you shall be healed.


CONCLUSION:


Friends, Jesus is coming back to rapture the saints, and you are expected to be in the list of people that will inherit eternal life.  If you have known the Lord as your Lord and Saviour,  this is the time.  Receive Him today, don't wait another day.  

Say this prayer:

Heavenly Father, I come to You in the name of Jesus. I believe that Jesus died for my sins, and He arose for my justification. I, therefore, open my heart to receive Him as my Lord and Savior. 

Lord Jesus Christ, come and reign in my heart.  Thank You for saving my life, make me Your own from today and write my name in the book of life.

I am born again!
