Did You Know Healing And Salvation Go Together

Did you know that healing for your body is as much yours as salvation is for your spirit? Jesus got both of these gifts for us at the same time. But we all accept the gift of salvation so much more readily than healing.The reason is, that salvation is taught so much more than healing. But they both come in the same package.

People have the strangest ideas about healing that I've ever heard. They think they didn't get healed because it wasn't God's will to heal them. This tells me they don't know it's God's will to heal them.

Some think it's not God's will to heal them because healing has passed away. This is just plain ole ignorance of not having studied the word. Then others think if God wants them well, they will just be well automatically, or when someone prays for them. If it doesn't work out this way, then they think they are sick to bring glory to God.

Some even think when they don't get healed then this sickness is on them to teach them something. If this is the case, then it's wrong for them to go to the Doctor to try and get well, or take medicine to get rid of the sickness. If one does, then he/she is going against God's will and they won't learn whatever it is that this sickness would have taught them. Now, doesn't that sound foolish? It is! Because sickness is never the will of God for anyone, and sickness is not your teacher. The Holy Ghost in you is your teacher.

So why are so many ignorant about healing? First I'd say our preachers and teachers have not taught it as much as they should have. They have taught salvation, but left healing out. Then also when a person gets saved it is their responsibility to read the Bible and find out about this for themselves.

When you are born again, healing comes along with it. You are now under the covenant that provides healing for you. Did you know you don’t necessarily have to pray for healing either? If you know that healing belongs to you, then all you have to do is accept it like you did salvation. Believe it and receive it, it belongs to you.

Isaiah 53:4 says that, "with his (Jesus') stripes we are healed". And Matthew 17:8 says, "that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, Himself took our infirmities and bare our sickness". So you see, Jesus already bore your sicknesses so you wouldn't have to. He got healing for you, so accept it and walk in your right to be well here on the earth now.

Healing belongs to us all that are children of God. Jesus provided healing for your body the same as he got salvation for your soul. They are a package deal if you will accept it.

Healing For Your Children

Do you think people born with something wrong with them have to stay that way? Take for instance someone born mentally retarded. Is that God's will for that person? No! No! No! Jesus has provided healing for everyone, no matter what is wrong with them.

Why do parents just accept certain problems of sickness like that? They look at the situation and can't believe that child could ever be normal. They are looking more at the problem than what Jesus has already done. The world, Doctor's and others tell us all the time that there is no cure or very little help for them. It's true in the natural, but you as a child of God have healing available to you and your children that the world doesn't have.

A parent of a mentally retarded child should claim healing for their child and not stop until it becomes a reality. It can happen, and you won't have to be burdened all your life with that, and your child can live a normal healthy life.

I know people that have taken care of a sick child all its life. The child is in a wheel chair and can't do one thing for its self. That is a burden and a hardship on that family. The child isn't normal and will never know a normal life. This is not God's will for that family. Healing belongs to them if they are Christians, and they are.

I've heard so many people say that 'it was just an act of nature, or God must have made them that way for a reason'. Or this one gets me; 'they were put on this earth like that so the world would be a better place by them being here'. Oh God! What a horrible thing to think, let alone say. God has no part of that.

This breaks my heart to see and hear people saying such things. They don't know any better I realize that. But wake up child of God. Healing belongs to you and your child. Don't accept any sickness or disease in your life or your family and especially your children. You as a parent can get healing for your child because it's your right!

Look at Deuteronomy 7:13b. It says He will bless the fruit of they womb. Bless? Is mental retardation a blessing of your womb, Mom? Of course not, so don't accept it. That's a work of the enemy, who is the devil. He's the one that steals, kills, and destroys. John 10:10. He's trying to destroy your child before he is even born! You take hold of healing for that child and get them healed. It's your right to do so and God will help you to.

In Psalms 139:13-16 it says; For thou has possessed my reins: thou hast covered me in my mother's womb. I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: My substance was not hid from thee, thine eyes did see my substance and in thy book all my members were written. Read all those scriptures for yourself. I just took a sentence from each one. But you'll see God formed everyone right, so something else happened that caused the problem when someone is born with a birth defect. It certainly was not God's doing.

Now remember, I'm not talking about sinners here. All kinds of things can happen to children born to sinners. The mother could be on drugs, alcohol, etc. A child born from that mother could have all kinds of problems. Of course if that mother will turn to the Lord, she can get healing for her child as well. Sinners don't have healing available for them and their families. You must be a child of God to have that available to you.

I'm talking about a Christian mother who has a child born with a defect. Don't you accept it as 'that's just the way it is' and 'I'll have to just deal with it'. No! You rise up and take the word of God and declare before heaven and earth that Jesus took stripes for your child's healing and you are claiming healing for them now, in Jesus Name!

No matter what it looks like or how bad it is, don't you stop till your child is normal. Healing belongs to you and with the stripes of Jesus we were healed Peter said in I Peter 2:24. "Were" means already done. We are all healed, not going to be or trying to be, we are ALREADY healed.

Remember, no matter what it looks like, there is nothing too hard for God. Jeremiah 32:17. Hallelujah!

God's Word Will Heal You

Exodus 23:25 says; And ye shall serve the Lord your God, and He shall bless thy bread and thy water, and I will take sickness away from the midst of thee. This was said to the children of Israel. They were not sick as long as they obeyed God. They were only sick when they were disobedient.

Why do you suppose there are so many Christians sick today?It is evident that Christians today don't know the word. They are too busy to read the Bible and they pray on the go. This is why they are sick like people in the world.

How the church needs preaching and teaching of the Word so we can all learn and grow up spiritually. Most aren't hearing the word at church or they would be a lot farther along in their walk with the Lord and healthier. They wouldn't be sick as much either. Do you know why? It says in Proverbs 4:20 that the word is health, (Hebrew word for health is medicine) to all our flesh. The word of God is your medicine! So if we were all hearing the word, we'd have faith in our heart and walk in health.

You get healed by hearing the word, and when you hear it, it gets in your mouth and in your heart. When it is in those two places, your healing will show up any time now. It's a sure thing. So---do you see where we're lacking? It's a lack of the Word of God. Not many are teaching the real word. Some are, and they are the ones that most are fussing about. The ones that aren't, are the ones most people are praising. They teach things that will help you some in your day to day living, but won't get you healed when you're sick. It takes God's Word straight from the Bible to do that.

Preachers, Teachers, Evangelists' Missionaries, and anyone else that might teach the word in some venue; Get in the Bible and begin to fast and pray and study and learn more yourself, then you can teach others more and then all can grow and learn and live more of an abundant well life.

As we get more of the Word in us, we will walk in more health, The word is our medicine, it's God's medicine for all his children, but you have to take it to get the results you need. It's for healing as well as any need you many have in your life.
Shalom!
