You Don’t deny that sickness exists, but deny its right to exist in your body, because you have been redeemed from the curse of the law and delivered from the authority of darkness. [ Gal 3-13: Col 1-13 ]
God has also given you all things that pertain to life and godliness. These things belong to you. [11 Peter, 1:3,4 ] When you are sick and confess that you are healed by the stripes of Jesus, you are calling for what God has already given you, even though it is not yet manifest.
This is God’s method of calling things that are not as though they were until they are. There are some who have misunderstood this
principle, and they call things that are, as though they are not. In other words, they deny what exist. The power is in calling for healing and health by mixing faith with God’s Word.
If you are sick, you don’t deny that you are sick: yet, on the other hand, you don’t want to always be confessing your sickness. For that will establish your present circumstances to you. Denying sickness won’t make you well. But by mixing faith with God’s word, you’re calling for the promises of God to be manifest in your body, This will cause you to be fully persuaded and healing is the result.
There are some who would say you are lying if you confess you are healed when you are sick. No, you are simply calling for healing that God has already provided, even though it is not yet manifest in your body. What you are really doing is practicing God’s medicine. You are not trying to convince anyone that you are not sick, but you are simply proclaiming what God has said in His Word to be a fact regardless of you present conditions. The word says, by whose [Jesus] stripes ye were healed [1-Peter 2-24 ] Notice it is past tense as far as God is concerned, but not yet manifest in your body.
The one mistake that so many Christians make is that they call things that are, the way they are. By doing this they are establishing the present condition or circumstance in their heart, mind and also in their body. One medical report said a lady came to the doctors with fever for many months. They could not find out what was wrong with her. Eventually, they discovered she was saying three or four times a day, “ that burns me up.” she stopped saying it and the fever left. How many times have you said, “Every time I eat that, it makes me sick.” ‘‘My back is just killing me.’’ “Those kids make me so Nervous.” Or “ I’m trying to take the flu” Your own words are giving instruction to your body and your immune system will eventually respond to your instructions.
Romans 8-13
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.
Your flesh wants to say it the way it is, but your spirit, if trained properly, wants to say it the way God said it in His word.
Your body will respond to the demands of the human spirit.
If you feed the spirit man God’s Word, it will make demands of
the flesh to line up with the Word of God.
We have choices to make. Will we let circumstances and situations take control of our lives or we will let God be true and everything that is against the word bow down in our lives.
11 Corinthians 10-5
5. Casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ.
The word of God is the most powerful medicine available today.
We are not preaching against doctors and modern medicine, But don’t depend on them alone to keep you healthy. There are some diseases that medical science cannot cure. But if you need a doctor, see a doctor. Many lives are saved every year by doctors and medical science. If you are taking medicine, mix faith with it and say “I believe, I receive in Jesus name.’’ We don’t advocate you throw you medicines away as long as you need them. If we will train our spirits and learn to meditate on the word of God we will grow to a point where healing is a common thing for us. It takes time to develop faith. If you need an operation or have a life or death situation, by all means do what ever is necessary to live. Begin to believe God for a speedily recovery. Don’t do foolish things through Spiritual pride and call it faith. It takes time to develop faith to operate in these principles. So don’t let anyone put you under condemnation for going to doctors or having an operation. In other words, operate on your level of faith, but don’t stay on that level forever. Continue in God’s word until you develop faith in the healing power of God’s word. It is not easy. It takes discipline, dedication and commitment.
