TOPIC: ,*DIVINE HEALTH IS YOUR RIGHT
“Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.” (3 John 2 KJV)
Child of God, the plan of God is not for us to live by divine miracle or to be healed miraculously. No! Miraculous healing is just an emergency device that God gives. A child of God ought to live in divine health; that is our right and privilege.
If you are living from healing to healing or every day you are sick, then you are not walking in divine health. If we have a prayer line to lay hands on the sick each time we gather, that means we have a sick church. That is never God’s intention.
In the book of Luke 13:10-17, Jesus came to the woman who had a spirit of infirmity for eighteen years. She was bent over and could in no way raise herself up. Jesus didn’t say, “Woman, I am going to heal you.” Rather, Jesus said: “………. Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.” (Luke 13:12 KJV).
“Woman, thou art loosed”. In other words, you have already been healed, but a wrong mentality kept you where you are. And Jesus laid hands on her, and she was straightened at once.
What price did you pay to be saved? None! All you did was receive your salvation. If you check where Isaiah prophesied about salvation, he said: “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.”(Isaiah 53:4-5 KJV)
The power that forgave your sin is the same power that healed you. What it takes for you to be forgiven and receive salvation is the same thing it takes to receive healing! You receive the greatest deliverance by simply saying I receive. We are to live in divine health. In fact, the communion table is the healing table for the believer.
Today, every pain goes from your life!
