Healing Power
Let’s talk about health and healing today. Let’s consider that the very life of God, His eternal life, His zoe life is dwelling in us because He is dwelling in us by the power of His Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is the presence of God.
A number of years ago, the Lord gave me three healing scriptures that represent the Father, the Son Jesus and the Holy Spirit. I speak them over myself every day and they always energize me for the day, remind me of Who it is Who is in my body.
We all know 1 Corinthians 6:19 which tells us that our body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, His very dwelling place, the sanctuary where He abides, dwells, makes His home. The Holy Spirit is God’s gift of Himself in us. Jesus bought us with His own blood and we are not our own. Indeed we are bought with a price. That is the highest price that has ever been paid; there is no price high enough on the blood of Jesus. It is priceless, precious blood. Then we see in 2 Corinthians 6:16 that we are the temple of the Holy Spirit, the temple of the living God. God has said: I will dwell in you and I will be your God and I will be your people. God is serious about being one with us and dwelling with us.
Here are the three scriptures.
The first one is the Father.
Psalm 107:20 KJV
HE SENT HIS WORD, AND HEALED THEM, AND DELIVERED THEM FROM THEIR DESTRUCTIONS.
Amplified Bible
HE SENDS FORTH HIS WORD AND HEALS THEM AND RESCUES THEM FROM THE PIT AND DESTRUCTION.
So our dear Heavenly Father, Who loves us so intensely, sent His Word (Who, of course, was His only Son) and healed us and delivered, rescued, released us from destruction. That is in the Old Testament and in the past tense of the verb. In God’s eyes, you were healed before the foundation of the earth. What each of us need to do is to take on God’s eyesight, to see the way He sees. He has given each of us spiritual eyes to see with spiritual eyesight. The problem is that most people can’t get past the physical eyesight of what they see in their bodies to the spiritual eyesight of what God sees in their bodies.
The next one is Jesus.
Isaiah 53:4,5 KJV and Amplified
SURELY, HE HAS BORNE OUR SICKNESSES, DISEASES, WEAKNESSES, DISTRESSES AND CARRIED OUR PAIN, GRIEF, ANGUISH, AFFLICTION, SADNESS….HE WAS WOUNDED FOR OUR TRANSGRESSIONS; HE WAS BRUISED FOR OUR INIQUITIES AND OUR GUILT; THE CHASTISEMENT NEEDFUL TO OBTAIN OUR PEACE AND WELL-BEING WAS UPON HIM AND WITH THOSE STRIPES THAT WOUNDED HIM WE ARE HEALED AND MADE WHOLE (THIS WHOLENESS HERE MEANS: NOTHING MISSING, NOTHING BROKEN).
1 Peter 2:24
WHO HIS OWN SELF BARE OUR SINS IN HIS OWN BODY ON THE TREE, THAT WE, BEING DEAD TO SINS, SHOULD LIVE UNTO RIGHTEOUSNESS: BY WHOSE STRIPES YE WERE HEALED.
You notice that even this passage of scripture in Isaiah is in past tense in the Old Testament. And then, of course, we look in the New Testament at 1 Peter and see that it has already been done. Many people try to make 1 Peter 2:24 refer only to sin. You cannot separate sin and sickness and disease or any other consequence of the curse. Sin brought it all. But the minute we accept Jesus as our Savior, that sin is forgiven, wiped away by the blood of Jesus as if it never happened. And so, also, the consequences of sin, such as sickness and disease, are washed away. Why do you think Jesus said to the man that He told to take up his bed and walk: Which is easier, to say your sins be forgiven you or to take up your bed and walk. Jesus was saying here that they are intermingled. Sin and sickness and disease are all from the devil who comes to steal, kill and destroy when Jesus has come that we might have and enjoy life, have it in abundance, to the full until it overflows (John 10:10). Your sickness is not necessarily a result of your personal sin. It is a result of the sin that is in the world and which produces sickness and disease all over the place. That is why we as God’s children must know that we know that we know what our Lord has done for us and accept it as a part of our lives.
The next one is the Holy Spirit.
Romans 8:11
AND IF THE SPIRIT OF HIM THAT RAISED UP JESUS FROM THE DEAD DWELL IN YOU, HE THAT RAISED UP CHRIST FROM THE DEAD SHALL ALSO QUICKEN YOUR MORTAL BODIES BY HIS SPIRIT THAT DWELLETH IN YOU.
We see here that the Holy Spirit Who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in us as born-again children of God. He raised Christ, the Anointed One and His anointing, from the dead. He, the Holy Spirit, Who dwells in us, shall quicken us, give life to us, to our mortal bodies, just like He did Jesus, as He dwells in us. What we must understand is that the Holy Spirit is God dwelling in our physical bodies to give us His life 24-7. We must focus on that and get an understanding of Who is in our bodies. He is in there to give resurrection life every second of every minute of every hour of every day of every week of every year to our bodies, if we know about it and if we accept it. There is a life flow available to every born-again believer which will keep sickness and disease out of, away from our bodies. He is called a river of living water, a fountain of life. You all know what a fountain does. It flushes out the junk that is in water. A River also carries away stuff, just by its flow.
I know that if you will meditate on these three scriptures, you will have an understanding and acceptance of healing and health that you have never had before. Remember that Proverbs 4:22 says that God’s Word is life and health and healing and medicine to all our flesh. His Word is medicine. And His medicine doesn’t taste bad or have harmful side effects. The side effects of His medicine are life and health. Glory! Hallelujah!
