INTRODUCTION
Divine health is living without sickness and disease. It is God’s kind of health. It is to live a sickness and disease-free life.
There is a difference between health and healing. Health means that you don’t get sick while healing is for someone that is already sick. As a child of God, you should move from being healed to enjoying divine health which is superior to healing. Healing is the children’s bread while sons live in divine health. It is God’s will for you to live in divine health.
3 John 2 -Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospers.
God hates poverty and He hates sickness. He doesn’t want you to be a victim of poverty or sickness. If you are a victim of any of them, I command you to be free in the name of Jesus!
Ex.15:26b -… for I am the LORD that healeth thee.
In case you are sick, God is still in the business of healing because He does not change according to Mal.3:6. As a child of God, be convinced that God wants you well. The moment you doubt if God actually wants you well, you cannot have a perfect health because God hates to be doubted and He loves to be trusted.
God cannot teach people lesson through sickness; it is an ignorant statement with no biblical backing. Sickness came through sin after man fell and Christ has redeemed you from it. If Jesus has redeemed you from sin, therefore, the consequence which is sickness is not permitted to stay in your body.
Gal.3:13-14 – Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of the law, being made a curse for us: for it is written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on a tree: 14 That the blessing of Abraham might come on the Gentiles through Jesus Christ; that we might receive the promise of the Spirit through faith.
Even if the sickness came as a curse, Christ had already redeemed you; hence, sickness is not allowed to torment your body!
Acts 10:38 – How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.
Sickness is an oppression of Satan. When it is settled in your heart that God wants you well, Satan will not be able to take you for a ride. It is God’s permissive will to heal you while enjoying divine health is His perfect will for you. As soon as you renew your mind to accept this word of God, you are already on your way to enjoying divine health.
In case you are sick, I stand under the covenant I have with my Father and I curse the root of the sickness in the name of Jesus!! Be made perfectly whole in the name of Jesus the Christ – Amen!!!
PURPOSES FOR DIVINE HEALING
Purpose 1: Jesus heals because He is full of compassion.
A leper came to Jesus “imploring him, and kneeling said to him, ‘If you will, you can make me clean’” mark 1.40..42).
What was the Lord’s response? Moved with pity, he stretched out his hand and touched him and said to him, “I will; be clean.” And immediately the leprosy left him, and he was made clean.
It was compassion that led to the miracle. Jesus Christ heals people today for the same reason: “Or do you presume on the riches of his kindness and forbearance and patience, not knowing that God’s kindness is meant to lead you to repentance?”
Purpose 2: Jesus heals because healing belongs to His children.
Once, when Jesus was preaching near the city of Tyre, a Syrophenician fell at His feet, asking Him to cast an unclean spirit out of her daughter.
Jesus said to her, “‘Let the children be fed first, for it is not right to take the children’s bread and throw it to the dogs.’ But she answered him, ‘Yes, Lord; yet even the dogs under the table eat the children’s crumbs’” mark 7.27..28).
The Lord saw the woman’s faith, and the daughter was delivered!
If you are a child of the King, it might seem that healing should come to you first, even before unbelievers receive miracles. Yet I watch as those who do not know the Lord reach out in great faith, hungry for the “crumbs,” and time after time He pours out His healing virtue upon these people.
Thank God, healing is often the entry point that helps people receive Jesus Christ as Savior!
Purpose 3: Jesus heals to bring glory to His Father.
On the side of a mountain near the sea of Galilee, we are told:
Great crowds came to him, bringing with them the lame, the blind, the crippled, the mute, and many others, and they put them at his feet, and he healed them, so that the crowd wondered, when they saw the mute speaking, the crippled healthy, the lame walking, and the blind seeing. And they glorified the God of Israel. Mathew 15.30..31)
On another occasion, there was a similar response when Jesus healed a paralytic man, and “When the crowds saw it, they were afraid, and they glorified God, who had given such authority to men” Mathew 9.8).
Perhaps the crowd didn’t understand that the “man” with such great authority was the Son of God, but they were moved enough by what they saw to glorify God.
Healing is a wonderful, awe-inspiring faith-builder that should lead to glorifying Him.
Purpose 4: Jesus heals to fulfill God’s promises.
At Capernaum one evening, “They brought to him many who were oppressed by demons, and he cast out the spirits with a word and healed all who were sick. This was to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet Isaiah: ‘He took our illnesses and bore our diseases’” Mathew 8.16).
When the Master heals, it is a fulfillment of the prophecy spoken through Isaiah and the Old Testament. On the cross, Christ took our sickness and infirmities.
Purpose 5: Jesus heals also to confirm His own Word.
Healing was promised by the Father, then declared by Jesus Christ. He said:
If I am not doing the works of my Father, then do not believe me; but if I do them, even though you do not believe me, believe the works, that you may know and understand that the Father is in me and I am in the Father.john 10 37..38)
Christ knew exactly why He was sent to earth. He came to perform the works of His Father. Miracles confirm the spoken word of Jesus. He heals to fulfill His personal word to you.
Purpose 6: Jesus heals to show you the power in His blood.
The prophecy declared in Isaiah 54.4..5 was fulfilled 20 centuries ago:
Surely he has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed him stricken, smitten by God, and afflicted. But he was pierced for our transgressions; he was crushed for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that brought us peace, and with his wounds we are healed.
The blood of Jesus was shed to forgive sin and provide healing—then and now!
Purpose 7: Every time the Lord heals, the devil’s defeat at the cross is exposed once again.
The Word tells us, “The reason the Son of God appeared was to destroy the works of the devil” 1 john 3.8).
At the house of Cornelius, the apostle Peter said:
You yourselves know what happened throughout all Judea, beginning from Galilee after the baptism that John proclaimed: how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power. He went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with him. Acts 10.37..38)
We have the victory! We can live in triumph day by day!
Jesus knows everything about you. He wants the best for you. You are His treasure. He even knows the number of hairs on your head Mathew 10.29..31).
He desires to show mercy and healing toward you. You are so precious that He died on the cross for your sin and your infirmities. Let the Great Physician bring healing and deliverance to you today!
God wants you to live in divine healing and health. He wants you to understand more and more about divine healing.
That is my prayer for you—a life of miracle healing and health—today and always! …… to be continued
