The Word of God is very clear; when we are attacked by the symptoms of disease, we have a right to stand on the Word and believe for the manifestation of that Word in our lives. I Peter 2:24 "...who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we having dies to sins, might live for righteousness by whose stripes you were healed." Jesus Christ bore all sickness and pain so we would not have to. The Bible clearly states that healing is a part of His redemptive plan for our lives.
Because it is a part of God's redemptive plan and a part of Christ's atoning work, we must gain an understanding of our healing as past-tense reality instead of a future-tense expectation. God is not the least bit displeased if we receive our healing in some of the other ways we have listed, but God desires that we can resist the devil, no matter how he attacks, and defeat him. Because this is true, He has given us the Name of Jesus and the Word of God to combat Satan, and defeat him.
MEDICINE AND DOCTORS
There are many misconceptions about the role of doctors and medicine in health of believers. Some erroneously believe that healing is not valid for people today because we have doctors and medical science is so far advanced compared to what it was in the first century. Others erroneously believe that doctors and medicine are a display of unbelief that is contrary to their walk in the Word.
Doctors see sickness and disease in the same light as God does. They view sickness and disease as an enemy that needs to be eradicated. Doctors are fighting the same enemy that God opposes through divine healing. No Christian should ever feel condemned for using the services of a medical professional! Going to a doctor is not necessarily "unbelief," any more than refusing to take one's medicine is necessarily "Faith." Many believers have stopped using their prescribed medicine, thinking they were presuming too much of their own maturity. Faith is inward, an assurance and rest, not an outward activity, or lack thereof. A person can build his or her faith for healing with complete confidence, while continuing to take medication for an illness. Faith and medicine are not enemies; they are allies.
NATURAL AND SUPERNATURAL ASSISTANCE
Medicine uses natural means to fight disease, while divine healing relies on supernatural means to achieve the same ends. These two things must not be confused. God is undoubtedly the creative genius behind the great medical breakthroughs of the recent past. Many lives have been saved and many people have been helped; this does not sound like the work of the devil.
Healing by God and healing by medical science is not the same. One is natural; the other is supernatural. Neither is the work of the enemy!
HINDRANCES: WHY SOME FAIL TO RECEIVE THEIR HEALING.
Did God fail them? Did God fulfill His Word, or not? Many times when someone is obviously not healed, it is because hindrances are blocking the power of God from flowing into their life. When these hindrances are dealt with and removed, healing will come. Those who do not receive healing cannot say to God, "You have failes to do what Your Word says You will do." There are several things that the Bible list as reasons for our failure to receive our healing.
IGNORANCE
The most common reason for God's people failing to eceive healing from Him is that we are ignorant of the fact that our healing was provided for in the Atonement. Even though we have read that verse of scripture that tells us we were healed through the stripes of Jesus, we do not know that it really applies to us in a physical sense. We have never sought out the scriptures to make sure that God's will is that we be well.
Overcome ignorance with knowledge! Romans 10:17 NKJV- "So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God." This is exactly as true for healing as it is for salvation. Faith for healing comes and lodges in out heart when we hear the Word of God that declares to us the will of God and His provision for us.
As long as you remain ignorant of the Word of God that declares your free from sickness and disease, you will hinder yourself from receiving your healing from God. You can never be sure it is God's will for you to be healed until you hear the "good news" concerning healing. When you begin to mediate on the Word, you replace ignorance with spiritual understanding, faith begins to rise up in your heart and healing replaces your ill health.
DOUBT AND UNBELIEF
The difference between doubt and unbelief is clear and simple, but both of them work out the same in our lives regardless of which. Doubt is the muddy uncertainty about what God wills. It can be taken care of easily by studying and meditating in the Word of God. Unbelief is a refusal to believe what cannot be seen or readily understood. It can only be remedied by making a quality decision to believe and trust the Word of God. Doubt and unbelief will keep you from receiving from God because you will not allow faith to be activated and held on task by patience. Unbelief can be found in two basic forms: community ands individual.
WALKING IN DIVINE HEALTH
Living totally free from illness is God's best for His children. This is living in a state of divine health. Divine healing is the provision that God has made for those experiencing ill health. His best is that we live completely free from sickness, defeating the enemy by faith every time he tries to oppress us with symptoms of disease. This does not mean we should feel condemned if our health comes under attack. The devil may attack, but a believer with a strong knowledge of the will of God will assist the onslaught of the enemy and win. In order to live in divine health there are some things we must know and do. Without exercising ourselves to some degree of diligence, we will never receive anything from the Lord. Laziness gets nothing from God.
In addition, there are certain natural laws that cannot be ignored if we expect to walk in divne health. God neith blesses nor overlooks stupidity. If we obey the Word, aligning ouselves with the criteria the Word lays out; we can expect to live in divine health, successfully overcoming the attempts of the enemy to put sickness on us.
If you haven't accepted Christ as your Savior simply say in an audible voice, in all sincerity from the depths of your heart, "Lord Jesus Christ, forgive me of my sins and accept me as Your child. I accept You as my personal Savior and I promise to follow the instructions of Your Word from this day on. If I fail because I am human, please help pick me up so I can try again! Thank you, Jesus, for saving me from all my sins. AMEN."
Go with God and be Blessed!
