FOURTH STEP
Commit or recommit your life to Jesus.
John 3:16
.... whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting
life.
Corinthians 5:17 therefore, if anyone is in Messiah, he is a new
creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new.--You
are a new person when you receive Jesus as your Lord, Savior and Messiah. All
your sins have been wiped out.
Hebrews 12:24 To Jesus the Mediator of
the new convenant, and to be blood of sprinkling that speaks better of things
than that of Abel.--The blood of Jesus cleanses us of all
sin.
Galatians 3:13 Messiah has redeemed us from the curse of the
law...( any sickness or disease ). Also, submit to Jesus as your Healer, as your
Doctor above all doctors! Trust God's Word above man's word. Even your
doctor.
Was Jesus assigned to be the Healer? Yes:Exodus 15:15 .... I am the Lord Who heals you.
Exodus 23:25.... I will
take sickness away from the midst of you.
Isaiah 48:12,16 I am He, I am
the First, I am also the Last.... the Lord God and His Spirit have sent
Me.
Who is the First and the Last?
Revelation 1:8 ( Jesus is
speaking ) I am Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the
End.
FIFTH
STEP
We are told to "Ask".
Matthew 7:7
Ask, and it shall be given to you....
How do we ask? Ask of the Father in
the name of Jesus.
John 14:14 If you ask anything, I will do it. Also, we
must believe.
Matthew 21:22 And all things, whatever you ask in prayer, believing you
receive.
How else do we ask? We must abide. ( Live in Him .)
John
15:7 If you abide in Me, and My Words abide in you, you will ask what you
desire, and it shall be done for you.
SIXTH
STEP
Thank the
Lord
Psalm 100:4 Enter into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His
courts with praise.
Ephesians 5:20 Giving thanks always for all
things....
SEVENTH
STEP
Resit the devil.
Ephesians
6:11-18 Put on the whole armor of God.
Luke 10-19 Behold, I give you
the authority to trample on serpents and scorpions, and over all the power of
the enemy, and nothing shall by any means hurt you.--This is incredible power
that God has given us. A born-again Christian believer has tremendous power over
Satan! Dare to use it in faith!
Hebrews 4:12 Speak and use God's Word,
the two-edged sword. It can be used for defense or attack. But you must speak
it!
James 4:7-8 ....submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you. Draw
near to God and He will draw near to you..
.
Psalm 103:1,3 Bless the
Lord...Who heals all your diseases.
Psalm 34:19 Many are the afflictions
of the righteous, but the Lord delivers him out of them all.
Hebrews 13:8
Jesus Messiah is the same yesterday, today, and forever.
James 1:17
Every good gift.... comes down from the Father....with whom there is no
variation...
Would the Lord discriminate or respect one person over
another? No!
Romans 2:11 For there is no partiality with God.
The Lord will heal all today as He did yesterday!
How can we encourage
people to believe this simple fact and receive their healing? Where are most
people missing the mark today?
Over the years, the Lord has taught us the
following with regard to His healing: All.
Sickness is of the devil.
Healing and health are of God:
John10:10 The theif does not come except
to steal, and to kill, and to destroy...
Acts 10:38... Jesus.... who
went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil.
1 John 3:8....(Jesus came) .... that He might destroy the works of the
devil.
How do we get out of the devil's sickness and into God's healing
and continued good health?
"By following God's prescriptions in the
Bible, God may and does heal; God heals his people even though some may lack
Bible knowledge or perhaps any previous Bible teaching." Some have been healed
on the way to a service, as they came in the door, or as they were just sitting
in their seat hearing the Word. Some receive healing while standing in the
prayer line, the parking lot, on the way home, or any time later. However, most
people receive their miracle by following the Word, following God's
prescriptions.
Jeremiah 29:13 And you will seek Me and find Me, when you search for Me with
all your heart.
Seek God with all your heart. Do not be luke-warm or
half-hearted. You have to mean business with the Lord and trust Him. Allow the
Holy Spirit to teach you. How? By being in submission to
Him!
FAITH--Does faith have anything to do with getting
healed?Yes!
Hebrews 11:6 But without faith it is impossible to please Him ( God ), for he
who comes to God must believe that He is (is God), and that He is a rewarder of
those who diligently seek Him.
Hebrew 11:1 Now faith is the substance of
things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.
See? Faith is in the
now realm. It's when you pray that you must believe, before it happens,
otherwise it's not faith.
How can we get faith?
Romans 10:17
Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word would say...
Always, when
Jesus saw the faith of the individual, He would say...
Be of good....your
faith has made you well.(MATTHEW 9:22)
....according to your faith let it be
to you. (MATTHEW 9:29)
Go your way; your faith has made you whole (MARK 10:52)
Arise. Go your
way. Your faith has made you well. (LUKE 17:19)
How much faith is
needed?
Not a gigantic amount. A mustard seed is the smallest seed.
Listen to Jesus incredible statement which gives you sufficient starting faith:
If you have faith as a mustard seed, you can say to this mulberry tree (the
problem),"Be pulled up by the roots and be planted in the sea,' and it would
obey you. (LUKE17:6)
Resist the sickness or problem. It's of the devil and it cannot stay. It must
flee. Then
stand on God's Word so the problem will not come you the second
time.
Do not allow unbelief or negative thoughts to cancel your faith and
thereby cancel your healing.
NAHUM 1:9 ....Affliction will not rise up a second time.
