‘I Am The God That Healeth Thee‘ is one of the most widely celebrated and sung songs of Don Moen. I love this song! Thousands of testimonies abound about people who experienced God’s healing power from simply singing and flowing in the Spirit with this song.
Like Don said while running commentary on one of the videos of this song available on the internet, Exodus 15:26 and Psalms 107:20 (which are the direct scriptural references for this song), are God’s Word ….. they are God’s Promises.
“He sent His word and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.”
Psalms 107:20 NKJV
“and said, “If you diligently heed the voice of the Lord your God and do what is right in His sight, give ear to His commandments and keep all His statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you which I have brought on the Egyptians. For I am the Lord who heals you.”
Exodus 15:26 NKJV
That Promise was fulfilled in Jesus Christ, He took our sicknesses, diseases and infirmities on Himself and by His stripes we are healed…
“Surely He has borne our griefs And carried our sorrows; yet we esteemed Him stricken, Smitten by God, and afflicted. 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 53:4-5 NKJV
I believe God and I believe His Word (the Holy Bible).
What we do with the Promises of God is that we claim them. So the next time you sing this song, carefully make it into a confession; ….’Jehovah is the God who heals me, He sent His Word and healed all my diseases, by the stripes of Jesus I am healed.‘ This is the right spirit with which to sing that song.
But please do not sing it like some believers love to do; people who sing it with an ‘Expectation‘ that God Will send His Word to heal them. They lie on sick beds, looking up to Heaven in anticipation of a healing miracle from God. They tell themselves, they are waiting on the Lord. This will be a wrong understanding and application of these scriptures in this time of the new covenant Jesus ushered us into. Because God Already sent His Word (Jesus Christ) and healed us!
Yes, God will send His Word to shine the light into our hearts, bringing illumination and understanding to help us take advantage of all Christ has done, and to help us see that He already healed us (I Peter 2:24). And the Holy Spirit, our Helper, helps us see that God already sent His Word and healed us. So do not let the enemy keep you in bondage with an Expectation that your healing is coming from God, no, the Word (Jesus) already came and healed all our diseases. By faith we believe this because the Bible says so, and by faith we take it.
The person who keeps people in bondage to sickness and diseases isn’t God, the person is well identified in Luke 13:16 and Acts 10:38……..
“how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit and with power, who went about doing good and healing all who were oppressed by the devil, for God was with Him.”
Acts 10:38 NKJV
No, it is not God trying to teach you a lesson with sickness and disease, not at all! God is not confused, He wants you healed and He already sent His Word to heal you (III John 1:2). He cannot still be putting sickness on you.
When someone gives you a good gift, you receive it with thanksgiving. Receive your healing today, shake off the chains of bondage, the prison gates are wide open, now walk through ….. free.
Those who wait on the Lord, mount up with wings like eagles. What are wings for, if not to fly?
Halleluyah!!!
