Is It God’s Will To Heal?


 


I still hear people ask the question, 

“Is it God’s will to heal?”.

 

The answer is not found in God’s individually selective  and seemingly arbitrary decision on who will and will not be healed.  

Rather, it will be found in the Covenant in which we are now engaged with our Heavenly Father.

 

In the Old Covenant we were always looking for God to move.  

We were awaiting some future time where a Savior would deliver us from sickness, disease, bondage, poverty, and any other oppressive force.

 

The Old Covenant was based upon FUTURE promises.  

 

The New Covenant 

              …IS ALL PAST TENSE!!!

 

The Savior WAS sent and all of the promises WERE FULFILLED in Him.

 

Heb8:6: “BUT NOW …he is the mediator of a better covenant, which was established upon better promises”

 

2Cor1:20 “For ALL the promises of God in him are yea, and in him Amen, unto the glory of God by us”

 

We are oft led by the enemy of the cross of Christ to believe that there is something else to be done, either by us or by a God who might be reluctant to move on our behalf…. When 2000 years ago, our Messiah – Savior – fulfilled a covenant and said, 

“IT IS FINISHED!”.

 

We are not awaiting healing… 

it is “by His stripes you WERE HEALED" (1Pet 2:24;Isa53:5)

 

We are not awaiting deliverance… 

but, Our Father, 

“HATH DELIVERED us from the power of darkness, 

and HATH TRANSLATED us into the kingdom of his dear Son” (Col1:13)

 

The power of the New Covenant is WHAT HAS ALREADY TAKEN PLACE 

IN THE PAST… 

in our place, 

on our behalf, 

so that we may walk in ALL the promises of the Kingdom of Heaven “at hand".

 

So… when the enemy comes in to try to convince you to move the hand and will of a reluctant God…

remind him that you are NOW A SON of the Living God…

and HIS power has already given you “ALL THINGS THAT PERTAIN UNTO LIFE AND GODLINESS" (2Pet1:3)… and 

“that WHICH I HAVE ALREADY, I am holding fast till he comes". (Rev2:25)

 

So NOW… 

As Romans 5:17 says:

I “shall REIGN IN LIFE by one, Jesus Christ”

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK

LET YOUR FRUIT SPEAK?     People say, , “God told me”…  or “Holy Spirit directed me…”or… “this business belongs to Jesus, He tells me what to do!”     WHY?     Why do they preface THEIR works with such statements?     Isn’t it a ruse of the enemy to keep them unapproachable, uncorrectable, and continuing their own way without interference? … ITS INTENT: prevent ANYONE from speaking into them or the situation… After all… “who are YOU to contradict what God has said?”     “Every tree is known by his own fruit.” (Lk6:44) “…by their fruits you shall know them.” (Mtt7:20)   An apple tree does not have to tell you it is one… it just bears apples! …a cherry tree bears cherries.    You can tell a Dogwood Tree by its “Bark”… well… maybe that doesn’t fit the analogy.     If I have to tell you I am a certain type of tree, it is probably because there is NO FRUIT to make identification easy.     “He that speak...

FORMING YOUR WORLD

  Forming Your World     Have you been in a place in life where you feel like your world has no form, reason, nor rationale to it… like it is void of meaning or direction… and it seems like the darkness is so deep and thick that you not only can't see, but are so disoriented you have no clue as to which way is up?     How do you get out of THAT?     Gen1:1-2 describes just that scenario, but on a grand universal scale: “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep.”     The rest of verse 2 begins to show the hope in the midst of the vast void…                   “…And the Spirit of God MOVED UPON the face of the waters.”             “MOVED UPON” is from a primitive Hebrew root word meaning: to brood: to hover, flutte...

CONVICTION

Image
  CONVICTION   I have frequently heard the phrase, “the Holy Spirit CONVICTED me”… or… “I was CONVICTED by the Lord”.  As a young boy I was taught that God was this big eye in the sky continually watching to see if I was being good… and the Holy Spirit, being on my shoulder, would  speak in my ear to bring that guilt… shaming me back to the right path.the moment I stepped out of line   But… why did Jesus send the Holy Spirit to us?     In  Jn16:7 Christ calls the Holy Spirit “ THE COMFORTER ”. He uses the term, “ parakletos ”, which was used in NT times of an  attorney (lawyer)… someone  giving evidence that stands up in court .   It comes from two words: “ para ” (close-beside), and “ kaleo ” (make a call). The word properly means: a legal advocate, advisor, or alongside helper who makes the right judgment- call  because  close  enough to the situation.       Zech3 clearly portrays a courtroom drama u...
