Divine Healing is the Spiritual Cure

I originally wrote this for my dear friends Lowell and Catherine, but want to share it with you all. Lowell is the gentleman Jesus healed back on April 1st of Parkinson's disease, from which he'd suffered for 23 years before Jesus delivered him!

DIVINE HEALING IS THE SPIRITUAL CURE

God’s divine healing is spiritual.
-The divine spiritual is administered through the human spirit . 1 Cor. 2: 9-12
-In Psalm 107: 20, God says he sent his word and healed them. Important: it did not say that God sends His word to heal, but that He sent His Word AND HEALED. God considers it done. He is no respecter of persons, but does respect faith in his Word. Ps 4: 20-22.

The Word of God is LIFE. It is also health or medicine to all your flesh. The Word will heal your body, but it does it through spiritual means. John 1:4. You must receive God’s Word concerning healing into your spirit for supernatural healing.

THE ENGRAFTED WORD

God’s Word is perfect spiritual law. Ps. 19: 7. You must speak God’s word to your individual circumstance. James 1: 21 admonishes us to receive with meekness the engrafted Word, which is able to save our souls. Important: once the Word of God is engrafted into your spirit, it produces health in the body as well. Jesus said, “if ye abide in me and my words abide in you, ye shall ask what ye will and it shall be done to you. John15:7.

When God’s Word becomes engrafted or infused into your spirit, it becomes a part of you - It IS you. When It takes root in your flesh it becomes greater than disease, and healing is the result. God spoke and Creation WAS. Words are the carriers of faith. Heb 11:3. You are created in the image of God. Every time you speak by faith, God creates His Image inside you; therefore if it is healing you desire, the healing image is created by the Word of God in you. That image came into creation by the Word of God and you will begin to see it in yourself as well. When the Word is engrafted in you, it infuses its life into you. Rom. 8:11.

FAITH GIVES SUBSTANCE TO HOPE

Hope is important but hope lacks substance until it is filled with faith. Hope is only a goal-setter. Hope is to desire healing, but hope itself does not heal - faith gave substance to that hope; it gave substance to and brought about the manifestation of healing that was already yours because of the covenant.

-All things are possible to them that believe. Mark 9:23
-If you had faith as a grain of mustard seed you would say... Luke 17:6
-He that believeth, hath. John 3:36.
-Whosoever shall say... He shall have Luke 11:23

It is Biblical principle to believe and call for things that are not yet manifested. The words of Jesus ring very clear concerning healing. “Daughter, thy faith hath made thee whole” Mark 5:34. Our confession of the Word fo God calls for healing which is already ours, but is not manifested in our bodies. The unseen things are called into being only by words carrying faith! If a person takes medicine, he should mix it with faith, saying “I believe I receive my healing in Jesus’ Name”. It takes time to renew your mind and develop faith in your words, as well as God’s Word.

It is true that God has provided healing for us through His Word, but we must learn to appropriate that healing by making the Word part of our daily vocabulary. Ps. 107:19-20 and Isaiah 55:11 and 57:19. Denying sickness won’t make you well. By mixing faith with God’s Word, you are calling for the promise of God to be manifested in your body. By this we should be fully persuaded and healing IS the result.

There are some who would say you are lying if you confess you’re healed when you are sick. No, you are simply calling for healing that God already provided, even though it is not yet manifested 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; rather you are simply proclaiming what God has said in His Word to be fact, regardless of your present condition.
- The Word says, “By His stripes (those of Jesus) ye were Healed” I Pet 2:24
- Notice: it is past tense as to the healing as far as God is concerned, even if not yet manifested in you.
- You are calling your body well according to Luke 17:5 and Mark 11:23.

Don’t make the mistake so many Christians do by not calling things that are not as though they are. Bv not speaking the Word of God, they are establishing their present condition in their hearts, minds, bodies and faith.
