Healing is God’s Will for You!

Hebs. 11:1 is the Bibles’ famous faith chapter. It offers great understanding and insight for living by faith.

Here is the Bible’s clear definition of faith. Faith deals with certainty, not doubts and wavering.

Vs. 3 Faith leads to understanding, not vice versa. Some people wrongly say, “I need first to understand it, then I’ll believe.” But with God, it is faith that brings understanding. 
Faith sees the “big picture” and does not get bogged down in the problem of the moment. ”All things work together…” That will sustain you through many hard times. 

Vs. 6 the kind of faith that pleases God is confident in two things: 1) God exists  2) God is a rewarder of those who diligently seek Him.

Faith is the substance of things hoped for. So it is the assurance and confidence. It is the conviction of things not seen. It convinces of what we do not see. So, it is the evidence the proof, of things not seen. 
 
Faith, hope, love, and healing are some foundation truths that we should come back to once in a while and study so we remember that our foundation is supporting ground that we build on. 

Is it God’s will to heal? Most assuredly, yes! Healing is a forever-settled subject because God’s Word is forever settled. 

God’s Word is His medicine. There are several parallels between God’s medicine and natural medicine. 

First, God’s Word is a healing agent just as natural medicine is a healing agent or catalyst. In other words, the medicine itself contains the capacity to produce healing. God’s Word contains inherent within it the capacity, the energy, the ability, the nature to effect healing in your body. Isa. 55:10, 11 says, “For just as rain and snow fall from heaven, and do not return there without saturating the earth, and making it germinate and sprout, and providing seed to sow and food to eat, so My word that comes from My mouth will not return to Me empty, but it will accomplish what I please, and will prosper in what I send it to do.” 

The Word of God will accomplish what it was sent out to do. The Word itself contains the power to produce what it says, just as when God said, “Let there be light, “and there was light. Healing Scriptures contain within them the capacity to produce healing. God’s Word is alive with energy…” It is alive and full of energy. The key to partaking of the life and healing energy in the Word is feeding on it until it penetrates your spirit where it deposits that life and energy. Words create what they are spoken.

Second, we might say that medicine is no respecter of persons. It will work for anyone who takes it. It is not a matter of God willing or not willing the healing of any individual, but whether or not the individual will receive healing by taking the medicine that produces it. 

Third, and very important, medicine must be taken according to directions to be effective. Some medicine labels read, Take internally,” others say, “Take externally,” 
To rub it on your body externally when the directions say to take it internally will not work. To take it after meals when the directions say take it before meals will reduce its effectiveness. To take it once in a while when the directions say three times every day will mean limited results, if any. 

No matter how good the medicine is it must be taken according to directions, or it won’t work. So it is with God’s medicine. It must be taken according to directions to work. The directions for taking God’s medicine are found in Joshua 1:8 (This book of instruction must not depart from your mouth; you are to recite it day and night, so that you may carefully observe everything written in it. For then you will prosper and succeed in what ever you do. 

Attending to them, inclining your ear to them, and keeping them before your eyes cause them to get into the midst of your heart. Notice this-it is only as they get into the midst of your heart and stay there that they produce healing in your body. But once they do penetrate, they will surely bring health to all your flesh. 
The Living Bible says, “…let them penetrate deep within your heart.” You can see again that God’s way of healing is spiritual. Power is ministered first to your spirit; then distributed to your body. God’s medicine must be taken internally. 

Instead of wondering whether you have enough faith to be healed, just take the medicine. Here is a list of healing Scriptures-feed on them several times a day, repeating them over and over again to yourself. The medicine itself will work if you will get it inside you.

Fourth – remember that it takes time for medicine to work. Most people give natural medicine a lot of time and patience and money to work. They take the prescription back for refills and more refills. They are diligent about it. They don’t just take one dose and expect a miracle. 

Keep taking God’s medicine. Give it time to work. So take your medicine. Say these Scriptures to yourself. Think on what you are saying in your heart. Use them in praise to the Father. His Word is medicine to all your flesh.

Confession: God is speaking to me now saying, “I am the Lord that healteth thee.” He is watching over this Word to perform it. He is the Lord that heals me. He is healing me now. This Word contains the ability to produce what it says. He is the Lord that heals me. He is healing me now. His Word is full of healing power. I receive this Word now. I receive the healing that is in His Word now. Healing is inherent in God’s nature. God is in me. My body is the temple of God. My body is the temple of the Lord that heals me. God is bigger than sickness and satan. God is dwelling inside of me now, healing me now. The Lord that heals me is my Shepherd; I do not lack healing. My body is in contact with the Lord that heals me. My body has to respond to God’s healing life and nature at work in me now. Healing is in God and God is in me. “I thank you, Father, because you are my Healer and You are healing me now.”
