“. . . they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.” (Mark 16:18.) NKJV
The Divine Healing teaching will help you understand the power of healing through authority in the name of Jesus and the Word of God. By walking in the Word, you can maintain a life free from sickness and receive physical healing through Jesus. I trust you will take your time reading my teaching on divine healing. Do not rush through the material. You may need to read the pages several times before you actually “catch” the meaning of what the TRUTH is behind Divine Healing. I do not intend for you to use your mind to overcome illness. I encourage you to start learning how to receive spiritual healing through faith in the Word.
Many circles have limited the doctrine of salvation to the forgiveness of sins and eternal life. Physical healing has not been included as a part of the salvation gift. However, both Old and New Testament scriptures repeatedly include bodily healing. The presentation of the doctrine of salvation regarding the atonement should cover both spiritual and bodily healing. “For I am the Lord that healeth thee.” (Exodus 15:26)
The Greek word for salvation is sozo, which means to preserve from sickness, save, heal, and deliver. Bodily healing in the atonement would be inclusive, according to the Greek definition. Forgiveness of sins and eternal life should include a more accurate understanding of physical healing. We must not overlook that the same blood of Jesus Christ shed upon Calvary has the power to heal sick bodies today as well as wash away sins and give eternal life. The definition for atonement, according to the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, is “the reconciliation of God and man through the death of Jesus Christ.”
Forgiven of Sin & Healed from Sickness
“Whether is easier, to say Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? But that ye may know the son of man hath power upon the earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the palsy,) I say unto thee Arise, and take up thy couch, and go into thine house. And immediately he rose up before them, and took up that whereon he lay, and departed to his own house, glorifying God. And they were all amazed and they glorified God, and were filled with fear, saying, We have seen strange things today” (Luke 5:23-26).
There was a man who was sick with a palsy. They brought him to Jesus by a couch, lowering him down through the housetop. Jesus asked the people which situation would be easier, forgiveness of sins or healing the man’s sickness. The religious men of the hour thought Jesus was speaking blasphemies against God. Jesus never once treated sin or sickness as separate problems. He demonstrated He could forgive and heal the sick. Neither problem was greater then the other.
When praying over the sick and teaching a message of healing, we can direct the person’s faith to understand that Jesus can forgive and heal at the same moment. When believers realize the application of receiving is synonymous with physical healing, they see everlasting results in their lives. We study through the Word. Jesus continued teaching, preaching, and healing all sickness among the people.
“And Jesus went about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every sickness and every disease among the people.” (Matthew 8:35)
Divine Healing is For Me
“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 53:5)
“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)
If we are healed, that means we were healed physically by the stripes of Christ. Jesus did it all, and it is up to us to have faith to believe and receive. Remember the woman with the issue of blood? Jesus said to her, YOUR FAITH has made you whole! Confess and believe what God’s Word says about you! Confess DIVINE HEALING IS FOR ME. THE WORD SAYS IT. I BELIEVE IT. THAT SETTLES IT.
I want you to take YOUR prescription for healing, reading out loud the scriptures that are written throughout the Divine Healing teaching. The folks who make confession of the WORD and mix faith are the ones who see the greatest results.
How do you get faith? Faith comes by HEARING the Word of God. Speaking or saying the Word of God will increase your faith for the healing you need. “So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.” (Romans 10:17) Nothing is impossible for God ! “For with God nothing shall be impossible.”(Luke 1:37)
Today’s Healing Confession: Thank you, Jesus, Your stripes have healed me. I believe I receive Your healing touch. You are the Lord that heals me, for the word says so. For I AM the Lord that healeth thee.” (Exodus 15:26)
Let us put into practice what Jesus Christ has done for us in the realm of healing. Appropriating healing through the Atonement will help believers come to the realization that Jesus Christ has provided bodily healing today. Believers can possess the victory over sickness, poverty, and death. “Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, today, and forever.” (Hebrews 13:8)
