Divine Healing

A Letter of Concern for the Physical Well-being of God’s People!

Dear Brethren in Christ,

Greetings! This message is sent with love and concern (Eph. 4:15) for the well-being of God’s children, especially ministers and workers & their families and love ones. God’s will is for us to live out His plan for our lives (John 10:10b).

We must desire to live out the full & entire days God has intended for us to live in this earth for as long as He tarries in His Second Coming. We want to fulfill His call & mandate upon our lives as believers, workers & ministers. Not one day less than God’s plan for us in Jesus Mighty Name (Genesis 6:3; Psalm 90:10).

On the other hand, conflicting & hostile is the desire/plan of Satan for those who are in Christ (2Cor. 5:17; Galatians 2:20) and are intent on living for God for His glory & honor. He wants to cut short our lives, thereby, hindering our testimony and reputation in the lives of those that are within our concentric circle of influence.

One of the things the Devil, the enemy of our souls does against us is try to destroy & kill us (John 10:10a) with sickness and disease. He is also known as the Devourer/Destroyer in Malachi 3:11. Sickness per se does destroy & kill people. There is nothing good in sickness as it is (Deut. 28:21-22).

We must be convinced in our hearts and minds that sickness and disease is NOT of God (Acts 10:38) rather it is an oppression of Satan, one of his major works against God’s people. It is the Curse of the Law (Deut. 28:15-45). He does this to hinder if not stop altogether the believer’s work of service & ministry. But Praise the Lord, Paul writes in Galatians that Christ hath redeemed us from the Curse of the Law (Gal. 3:13-14).

Study the life and ministry of the Lord Jesus Christ in the Gospels. You will find and learn that everywhere he was confronted with sickness & disease, he had compassion (Matt. 9:35) on the people & healed them (Matt. 4:23-24; Matt. 8:2-3,6-7,16-17,28; Matt. 9:6,18-34; Matt. 12:10-13,22; Matt. 15:30-31; Matt. 17:15-18; Matt. 20:30-34). He recognized that it is the work of Satan and Jesus came to destroy Satan’s work (1John 3:8b).

Believer, SICKNESS is NOT GOD’S WILL. Therefore, it must be resisted and rejected in Jesus most powerful name (James 4:7). We are not to put up with such works of Satan. Sickness is a very expensive proposition. It can and has wipe out the financial resources of so many overnight.

Unfortunately because of ignorance, wrong teaching or worse the lack of right teaching (Hosea 4:6) on the subject at hand, God’s people have been duped, that is deceived & even literally destroyed.

What an enormous, fearful & tremendous responsibility pastors and teachers carry on their shoulders. We must be knowledgeable for people depend on us. Too many have died prematurely and their lives and ministries cut short, unfinished.

It must not be! To be ignorant is not bliss nor is it a blessing. In fact, it is dangerous. You are actually giving place to Satan to work against you (Eph. 4:27). When you open the door & give him a foothold in your life, that is give him the opportunity to operate against you, he definitely will. It is also inexcusable, unjustifiable & unpardonable because it is very costly in terms of money spent, energies expended, lives lost & wasted. This does not count the sleepless nights, the pain, agony & feelings of hopelessness felt & experienced not only by the sick person but their immediate loved ones.

SO, WHAT ARE WE TO DO?
First, We need to fill our hearts and minds with Scriptures on Healing. This will protect and keep us from not knowing God’s will on the subject. We will no longer fall prey to the deception of Satan, the father of lies (John 8:44) and thus overcome his works of lies in our hearts and minds.

Second, We must plant & sow these healing scriptures in our hearts and spirits (Prov. 4:20-23) and believe them (Rom. 10:8-10,17).

Third, We need to heed Joshua 1:8 by Confessing, Declaring, Proclaiming & Speaking (Prov. 18:20-21; Mark 11:22-24; Rom. 10:8-10; 2Cor. 4:13) with our mouths God’s Healing Words.

As we believe & speak out what we believe, we then receive the healing our LORD Jesus provided through the Atonement (Isaiah 53:4-5; Matt. 8:17; 1Peter 2:24) and the healing comes to pass and is made manifest in our bodies. Hallelujah!!!

Learn and experience for yourself God’s healing Words. Then, teach & impart these truths to your families and churches. You will help yourself and God’s people not to be deceived ever again for one of Satan’s names is Deceiver (Rev. 12:9).
Sent in Christ love!
