He sent His word and healed them, And delivered them from their destructions. Psalms 107:20 NKJV
Glory.
He sent His word
His word revealed (Jesus) and this word healed us
This healing in turn meant deliverance from destructions for us
Again, the word is Jesus, who is the divine revelation of God. If you do not know Jesus, you cannot know/understand healing.
Don't get it wrong, an unbeliever can receive healing if prayed for but that unbeliever can permit sickness in their bodies cos they don't know Christ. The sickness will come back basically.
Even believers that lack this knowledge suffer same fate, which is why the bible says my people perish because they lack knowledge. Most times we are languishing in sickness because we do not know. We are yet to come to full understanding of God's will concerning sickness and diseases
And here is my belief: People need the word more than they need healing
The word enables us to not even give room to sickness in the first place. It opens us to certain truths about who we really are.
Should we fall sick, we speak to it immediately. We do not condone it at all. I had a revelation over the night and I was gisting those in Ibadan with me this morning. So lately, I've been having this pain in my legs. I stand most times when I'm praying (ministering) or kneel, then I'm usually stressed too. So I assumed this was a result of the stress and all
Usually after ministering for long, my leg gives way most times and I just want to rest. In my mind, this is my body telling me to rest more and take care of it. (PS. I'm a firm believer in resting our bodies so this message is not against it)
Since I started feeling this pain in my leg, in my head "it is not that serious", so I just ask someone around to help me massage my body.
I've been asking everyone in Ibadan to help me massage my leg but they've been airing me 😂😂😂
Samson offered to help Saturday night but I somehow forgot and didn't meet him. So in the revelation, I saw myself asking for a massage again.
"Please help me massage my leg and my shoulders" And the Holy spirit came beside me and clapped 😂
He made a statement: Continue to pet this sickness o. Continue to pat in on the back. This was around 3am in the midnight
I stood up and I was like. "It is just body pain na, it's not that I'm sick"
And the Holy spirit helped me to realise this, that so many times we allow sickness with:
It's just headache
It's just menstrual pain
It's just body pain
It's just...
Most times the devil doesn't start afflicting believers with "big" sickness. He knows the body of Christ will rally round and speak over you. He knows you can send it out with your authority
So he starts with the little sickness, the ones we term as it's just.. He is banking on us allowing those little ones that will now generate into bigger problems. Because they've stayed too long in our body
So as we speak on healing, I want us to open our hearts and ears. We are not just talking of Cancer or those sickness with big and scary names. God's healing is valid for everything and I need us to take what is ours in this period.
It is God's will that you are healed
Even of that seemingly little headache that is getting consistent
Of that body pain
Of that menstrual period
Just name it
Emotional healing
Physical healing
Whatever it is, maybe it has name or not, big in your eyes or small. It is God's will that you are healed of it
Scripture says that the wholeness the Messiah brings has no limit.
I love it soooo much
No limit
No restrictions
It is complete wholeness
Your key to experiencing this is first believing it!
You know when you pray for a sick person for healing and in the middle you are putting "If it is your will God"
That's your unbelief jumping out, sometimes induced by ignorance.
Actually all times.
If you are saying "if it is your will God", then you really don't know God's will and you are not sure your prayer might be effective
It is always God's will to heal
So no need to say "If it is your will. God has said it is His will already so why are you still saying if if every time?
It is God's will!
When you use that if statement, what you are doing is destroying your words of healing. It's like somebody planting and at the same time uprooting immediately. You are rendering your words of healing useless basically.
When we say that it is God's will that all men be saved. It is God's will that our sins are washed away. Do we pray for people and say "If it is God's will to wash away your sins/save you"?
Fola: So this means it doesn’t apply to sickness only but other things 🤔🤔
Answer: No. Reason is God (through Christ Jesus) already established healing as His will. In fact, one of the things Jesus accomplished on the cross for us is healing. The only reason Jesus had to be beaten like a thief was for our healing.
So if we believe every other thing achieved in Calvary, we should not doubt healing.
Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; Yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. But He was wounded for our transgressions, He was bruised for our iniquities; The chastisement for our peace was upon Him, And by His stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:4-5 NKJV
He bore our griefs and sorrows. So probably you are in need of emotional or physical healing, the first thing Christ did was carry the weight of it. Everything (past, present, future). So if I'm carrying a heavy bucket of water and someone comes to carry it for me, what does it mean?
I'm relieved from that pain. Maybe temporarily until they decide they are tired.
Now, Jesus permanently lifted this load off us.
Emotional sickness
Mental sickness
Physical sickness
All have been lifted off you. You can't afford to be carrying a load someone else has not just carried but destroyed
He was wounded and bruised for us. It wasn't just coincidental that Jesus went through that. No. There was a purpose to it.
Sickness is a result of sin (the nature), everyone that has this nature is subject to sickness. It is why man has to be born again (change His thinking through the word)
In the suffering of Jesus is embedded provision for your healing
For mine. For the world
And this provision extends to all type of healing. If you don't believe God heals emotional or mental sickness, you are not positioned to receive it
Healing is your legal right as a believer.
In Matthew 15, Jesus told that woman who asked for healing, that healing belonged to the children. It is their legal right
Healing is bread to the children
Probably you are wondering, "Remi, if healing is God's will, why then are people sick?"
The Lord is not slack concerning His promise, as some count slackness, but is longsuffering toward us, not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance. II Peter 3:9 NKJV
God's will is that nobody perishes but will people perish? Yes!
Here's how I feel about these things, God's will is brought to life by agreeing men. So if God's will is that nobody perishes, men have to align to this will of I am not perishing. If God's will is that nobody should be sick, I have to be in agreement to it also.
And here is the thing with healing as it is for salvation: The price has already been paid!
You know when something is bought for in your name and you just have to pick it up with a reference code? Exactly! This is the perfect picture. Your healing has been paid for. You are not just trying to negotiate it. It is already completely done
Take your reference code (the word) and get your healing: who Himself bore our sins in His own body on the tree, that we, having died to sins, might live for righteousness— by whose stripes you were healed. I Peter 2:24 NKJV
Past tense
Done, done and dusted
Jesus is not receiving extra stripes or beating o. He did it once and for all
So this is true of healing: It is God's will that you are healed!
God has already healed you!
You have to believe the first statement to believe the second and they are both true.
And behold, a leper came and worshiped Him, saying, “Lord, if You are willing, You can make me clean.” Matthew 8:2 NKJV
The leper came to Jesus needing healing. Now look at it this way, the leper came off as being okay with just worshipping Christ even if it doesn't lead to healing. So he asks Christ, "Lord, if you are willing, heal me"
So if Jesus is not willing, that's fine too. I will continue to worship
Most times, Jesus replied people with parables first. But you see this leper man got a straightforward answer
I am willing
It was straight to the point, no room for extra interpretation. And this answer is same for you and I today, It is God's will that we are healed
Straight forward.
Don't overthink or analyse
There are no buts or maybe
This statement is true for you and the world at large. Another proof of Healing being God's will is Heaven's design.
What is the eternal plan?
What is the plan before man fell?
What was the plan before man fell?
In heaven, there is no sickness.
In eternity, there will be no sickness
"Your will be done on earth, as it is in Heaven"
What Jesus came down to do was also reveal the father's will. God's will is that men be saved
Healing is a full package in our salvation
If heaven has no mental sickness, emotionally sick people, people with cancer, then it is God's will that men live this way on earth too. It is God's will that you enjoy good, perfect health
Believe this and begin to live it
