Divine Healing
We walk by faith, not by sight. Part of the promise of God is that we walk in divine health and are continually made whole.
We know that the Bible teaches about the gift of healing as one of the nine spiritual gifts. As people of the spirit, we know we can move in any of these gifts whenever we need it. It’s no good if everyone thinks the preacher - or one person - is the healer. God is the healer, not the man, and as spirit filled believers we have the power to use the healing gift. Certain believers have gotten a deep revelation about healing, and we want to live from our revelation. These people may seem to have a strong healing ministry or gift. But just because you may not have that revelation doesn’t mean that you can’t live in an environment of faith and divine healing. It doesn’t mean you can’t have the power of healing in your life and the lives of those around you.
Proverbs 4 - Pay attention my child to what I say. Listen carefully. Don’t loose sight of my words. Let them penetrate deep into your heart because they bring life and radiant health to those who understand their meaning. One of the sources of healing in this Word, or God’s promises associated with healing. Like all spiritual things, it combats the natural and we have to combat our doubt with faith in God’s promises and power. We have to believe that God’s Word is supremely more powerful than our doubt.
Once God gives us a revelation, it is like things are enlightened and its like a veil is lifted. It’s illuminated. It’s always been there, but once we get a revelation we can see it. Once you get a revelation in an area, nothing can change your beliefs in that area. Once you get a revelation of God as a healer, you start to learn about God’s heart and his nature towards His people.
Psalm 91 - The Lord is my refuge and my place of safety - he will shield and shelter you - his faithful promises are you armor and protection - these evils will not touch you - if you make the Lord your refuge, no evil will conquer you and no plague will come near your dwelling - he orders his angels to protect you - I will rescue those who love me - I will protect those who trust in my name…These are God’s promises to us, one after another after another. These are promises about living in the shadow of the almighty. It denotes a closeness to God. You have to be near God to get in His shadow. The promises of God for you and I are yes and amen.
Do not fear evil or the things you see. Do not fear sickness or death. Divine Health is God’s promise to us! This is our portion as believers.
