Look again at those last few words.
They don't say you might be healed
someday if it happens to be God's
will. They say you "were" healed!
To a lot of Christians that doesn't
make sense. "I feel sick," they argue.
"My body hurts. I have a fever. I'm
coughing and sneezing. How can
God say I was healed?"
Because as far as He's concerned,
the work has been done. Healing
has been provided for every believer.
It's been bought and paid for by the
blood of Jesus. All we have to do is
reach out with the hand of faith and
take it.
That's what the woman in Mark 5
did. Have you ever read about her?
The Bible says she had been suffering
with a f low of blood for 12 years
before she received her healing. She
spent all her money on one physician
after another, but she just kept
getting worse. Then she heard about
Jesus. She heard that multitudes
sought to touch Him: "for there went
virtue out of him, and healed them
all" (Luke 6:19).
If it is Jesus' will to heal all those
people, she thought, then it's His will
to heal me. So she went to one of His
meetings, pressed through the crowd
and touched His garment.
She didn't wait for an invitation, she
just declared her faith and said, "If I
may touch but his clothes, I shall be
whole. And straightway the fountain
of her blood was dried up; and she
felt in her body that she was healed
of that plague. And he said unto her,
Daughter, thy faith hath made thee
whole; go in peace, and be whole of
thy plague" (Mark 5:28-29, 34).
YOU AND I CAN DO THE
VERY SAME THING TODAY!
Even though Jesus has been resurrected
and has ascended to heaven, He's
still here with us in His Word. He's
here by the power of the Holy Spirit
that dwells in us and among us. And
because He is "the same yesterday, and
to day, and for ever" (Hebrews 13:8),
"
if you want to maintain living
contact with God.
with the truth. You won't buy the lie
that God has a split personality, that
sometimes it's His will to heal you
and sometimes it's not.
You'll be full of the Word and have
the confidence to say, "Get out of here,
devil. There's no question about it: God
wants me well! I am healed!"
He is still healing ALL.
So stop wondering, wishing and
waiting. Grab hold of God's healing
Word with the same faith and
determination that the woman with
the issue of blood grabbed hold of
Jesus' garment. Make a list of verses
like the ones in this article. Then as
you read through the Bible and find
others, add to it.
Build your faith by reading and
receiving such scriptures daily, so the
next time the devil tries to talk you
out of your healing, you'll be armed
