HEALING WEATH FOR THE BELIEVER Part V

Principle of Healing Expounded

When our children were growing up, often it was necessary to speak to them several times until they understood what I wanted them to do. Then were able to carry out a command. For example, I cannot remember how many time I have said, put your school books in your room. It could have been years of repeating that same command until one day, they came home from school, did some supervised homework at the kitchen counter, then low and behold, the books were brought to their room! Of course this is in the natural realm. Today we are speaking things into existence that do not have a natural form. Paul very nicely says in 1 Corinthians 1:27-28 "Instead, God deliberately chose things the world considers foolish in order to shame those who think they are wise. And he chose those who are powerless to shame those who are powerful. God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are"

God uses spiritual forces that are not seen to defy nature by bringing about a creative miracle in the natural. Then our Apostle Paul talks about the spirit of faith in 2 Corinthians 4:13 "Since we have the same spirit of faith as he had who wrote, "I believed, and so I spoke," we too believe, and so we speak"

You can search for yourself, the spirit of faith works through the believer. Even David said, "I shall not die but live, and declare the works of the Lord." This is a life transforming principle that must take place in the believer. No matter how we feel and what we see in the natural, it has no bearing on what God is about to do! And what He has already accomplished at the cross.

There is something mystical that happens when we use the Word of God in our lives. It takes root not only in our hearts but also in our minds. Once you give voice to the written Word it becomes a living breathing word. It is alive! And when that Word is established within you it becomes truth to you even when the reality is not manifested in your body. Now I am not saying to deny your illness; but I am saying to deny its right to exist in your body! We are merely rehearsing, speaking those things that Christ has already paid for. He has redeemed us by his blood from the law and the authority of darkness. (see Galatians 3:13, Colossians 1:13, and 2 Peter 1:3-4) I would like to warn you that naming it claiming it is a formula that does not work. The power comes when you call for healing and health mixing your faith with the Word of God!

You continue to call your body well according to Luke 17:5-6 and Mark 11:23. Your body will respond to your command and it will obey you if you believe and doubt NOT in your heart. Therefore, your words have more clout than anyone else's words over your body! If you continue to profess your present state, you will remain sick or die from that sickness.

We all have the God given right exercise authority over our bodies. Paul has great insight when he told us in Romans 8:13 "If you live after the flesh you shall die; but if you through the Spirit do mortify the deeds of the body, you shall live." (RSV) Therefore, our flesh man wants to call things as they appear and our spirit man (if trained in the Word of God) wants to call our bodies to line up with the WORD! The Word of God spoken in Faith imparts life to our bodies and souls. God's Word is an incorruptible seed that produces very fine fruit! John 6:63 says that "It is the spirit that gives life, the flesh is of no avail; the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life."

So let us challenge one another to walk this Faith walk together. Set some time aside by yourself and fellowship with Jesus the Christ. Make it a point to meditate on His Word by speaking it to your body. Do it two, three, six times a day if you must. Confess what you are believing for—Pray the Word over your body, declare it and watch the truth take place. You will be fully persuaded and your body will respond to your voice. Mix His Word with your FAITH! It is a principal of the Living God.
