‘Healing is the children’s bread. Healing is available always. Healing is accessible always. Healing should be a daily experience for the Jews {and everyone born of God through Jesus Christ}.

“And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word…..and Mary arose in those days, and went into the hill country with haste, into a city of Judea……and it came to pass, that when Elisabeth heard the salutation of Mary, the babe in leaped in her womb; and Elisabeth was filled with the Holy Ghost.”  Luke 1:38-41

The WORD 

Have you ever wondered about words? Words make the world go round. Whether written or spoken, we communicate our thoughts, emotions and feelings through words.

In Genesis, God teaches us the power of words. Words Create!

God created the whole word through words. God created light, day, night, water, sky, land, seas, vegetation, sun, moon, stars, living creatures in the seas and on the land, human beings (male and female).

Wow! Wow!! Wow!!!

I proudly present to you, My Father….. Master Creator, with awesome imaginative abilities, excellent conception and display of beauty, wonderful display of power without gimmicks. My Father is self-sufficient in Himself! And my Father created All things through Words, and faith in His Words.

All the miracles of Jesus Christ were performed via words. He healed the sick and raised the dead through words. And He tells us we can move mountains through words;

“…for assuredly, I say to you, if you have faith as a mustard seed, you will say to this mountain, ‘Move from here to there’, and it will move..” Matthew 17:20

Let’s see what Words got for Mary.. 🙂

Mary listened attentively to Michael. And received (conceived) all Michael said to her, then walked away, merrily.

The Bible doesn’t tell us that Mary consulted a doctor or midwife to confirm if she was pregnant after seeing Michael. Instead, we’re introduced to a ‘blessed fruit of Mary’s womb’ (Luke 1: 42).

Pause…

How did Elisabeth know the things that Michael said to Mary? Elisabeth wasn’t with Mary at the time, and Elisabeth has given Mary no time at all to ‘gist’ her of her encounter with Michael. Elisabeth spoke and prophesied as soon as Mary stepped into her home.  That’s the pregnancy test Mary needed. She was indeed pregnant, just as the Lord said to her through Michael.

Question: What did Michael give to Mary?

The Word!

Question: And what did Mary conceive?

A Child!

God is His Word. When we speak God’s word into a situation, we introduce/put God in it. And when we receive or believe God’s word we conceive God in us. And God in us can became anything we receive the Word as because God’s word is life, health, power, spirit….

“....the words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life.”  John 6: 63

“My son, give attention to my words; incline your ears to my sayings ……for they are life to those who find them and health to all their flesh.” Proverbs 4:20

Mystery #2: Mary received The Word and conceived a Child. The Word creates. I can create anything my faith can believe for. I can move mountains through my words. 

 

 

 

 

Welcome back!

In the first part of this blogpost we looked at how medicine contributes to well-being and also provided examples of situations when a Doctor can say ‘No’, meaning; that the Doctor can’t help with your presenting medical complaints. I also mentioned, very importantly, the only source of LIFE I know that is sure and unfailing…. the Word of God. The Word of God is immutable.

I did say then, that in part 2, we will begin to look at what you MUST DO to get a ‘YES’, if ever a Doctor says ‘No’. But before we get into the doing bit, let us to consider 10 fundamental knowledge to getting a “YES” out of a Doctor’s “NO”.

1. You Must know that God is.

“.…for whoever comes (near) to God must (necessarily) believe that God exists and that He rewards those who (earnestly and diligently seek Him.” Hebrews 11:6 AMP.

I see in this scripture 2 necessities forgetting a reward/benefit from God (including healing);

(a) To believe that God exists and ;

(b) To seek and follow Him wholeheartedly (not partially).

I have shared in the past how one of my senior colleagues tried to engage me in a fruitless discussion; asking who the God I so passionately profess is? Whether God is male or female? Whether I can see Him? And that I should explain my response of “God is my Father” to an innocent little child!

Believe it or not, there are people who do not believe in the existence of God. And for some others, God means different things (that’s a big lesson I learnt recently and I have more often now, identify my God as “JEHOVAH“).

So there are gods of love, gods of war, gods of the sun etc, and I recently came across ‘Hollywood gods’. If you have any problems identifying with the God described in John 17:3; I am not sure how you can get a ‘Yes’ if and when a doctor gives you a ‘No’.

“…. the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom You have sent.”

Now, after accepting that God exists, next, you need to seek Him earnestly and diligently.

Simply put; do not come seeking help from God with a plan B(in case God fails). Because when you do that, you so very easily fit into the doubter described in James 1: 6a-8;

“…for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea driven and tossed by the wind. For let not that man suppose that he will receive anything from the Lord; he is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.”

2. You Must know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior.

After you recognize the existence of Jehovah, then you must know Him. And the only way to know the Father-JEHOVAH, is to know His Son Jesus Christ.

“Jesus said to him, “I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” John 14:6.

“Who is he who overcomes the world, but he who believes that Jesus Christ is the Son of God?” 1 John 5:5

If you need guidance on how to know Jehovah through Jesus Christ, simply copy and paste the url addresses provided below in a new tab to get going. These are my earlier blogposts that would guide you into making a decision for Christ.

3. You Must know the Word of God.

The Word of God is life.

“The words that I speak to you are spirit and they are life.” John 6:63

“For the word of God is living and powerful, sharper than any two-edged sword…” Hebrews 4:12

“all things were made through Him, and without Him nothing was made that was made. In Him was life …” John 1:3-4

So every time you read the Word of God, you are exposing yourself to life. Meaning that, you cannot be sick, needing healing and not expose yourself to the Word of God. You will die!

4. You Must know your New Identity in Christ Jesus

“For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ. Philippians 3:20

Brethren, our citizenship is of Heaven, where there is no sickness or disease. Therefore any sickness or disease in our bodies is alien and should expect an end of tenancy. Our bodies are temples of the living God. Not a storehouse for all kinds of strange symptoms. Knowing this therefore, we command every visiting symptom to vacate our bodies in the name of Jesus Christ. We are citizens of Heaven. There is no sickness in Heaven and none should stay in our bodies. Amen.

5. You Must know that Sickness and Disease were settled at Calvary

“..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.” 1 Peter 2:24

“..that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying; He Himself took our infirmities and bore our sicknesses..” Matthew 8:17

Brethren, the only reason Christ bore our sicknesses and infirmities in His own body, is so that we do not have to bear any of them ourselves. Selah.

Therefore we must see every sickness in our bodies as illegal occupants. They have no right to be on our bodies because Jesus Christ took them all on Himself. Halleluyah.

6. You Must know God’s Will concerning your health

Of course from the foregoing, we already know that God wants us Healed. That’s the only reason He would die Himself to get us healed. In John 10:10b, we read why Jesus Christ came;

“…I have come that they may have life and have it more abundantly.”

Beloved, Jesus Christ came to give us life, spiritual life, yes, and physical life too, to its fullness.

God wants us in health and prosperity.

7. You Must know that you were healed at Calvary

God didn’t leave us in a ‘wishlist’. He Willed for us to be healed and He ensured it.

Peter tells us we were healed by the stripes of Jesus Christ. That is the result of Christ bearing our sickness and disease on Himself. He took them away and gave us health. Halleluyah.

8. You Must know that sickness is not from God.

In “Satan demystified” (http://www.graceobomanu.com/blogsite/satan-demystified/), another of my earlier blogposts, I demystify Satan and show him as the source of all evil. Satan is the thief described in John 10:10a

“the thief has come to steal, kill and destroy..”

In fact, John 10:10 gives a beautiful contrast of the person of Satan and Jesus Christ. Satan comes to steal, kill and destroy but Jesus Christ came to give us life and life more abundantly.

As long as you buy the lie that God is trying to subdue you with a sickness or disease, you will not be healed from it.

Pause, have you ever considered, why God would Himself die to take away our sickness and disease, and yet send it back on us to teach us a lesson or subdue us? It doesn’t make any sense. Neither does it make sense that someone would be sick and then seek help from a place where the devil is served and worshiped. That is absolute foolishness. Selah.

God is GOOD and there is no Evil in Him. And everything God made is GOOD.

“..the Lord is upright; He is my rock, and there is no unrighteousness in Him.” Psalm 92:15

“Surely God will never do wickedly, nor will the Almighty pervert justice.” Job 8:20

“So Jesus said to him, “why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is God.” Mark 10:18

God is GOOD.

9. You Must know that Death has no power over you

I have written in the past how my grandma would often tell us about times Death stood by her door, in fact, many times. And all those times, she rebuked him and he fled 🙂

I watched my mother die about 2 years ago. I was privilege to take care of her in her last days and I learnt a very good lesson doing that; death is a spirit.

The Bible tells us how a godly man should die;

“Now as for you, you shall go to your fathers in peace; you shall be buried at a good old age.” Genesis 15:15

“You shall come to the grave at a full age, as a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.” Job 5:26

“…and you shall be gathered to your grave in peace; …” 2 Kings 22:20

Good story my Grandma told us, because she lived a good long life. In fact she started planning her death at least one year before it happened. She told me specifically to avoid expensive and meaningless ceremonies and simply bury her well. My Grandma loved God, although she didn’t even have as much revelations about God as I do know. And she also knew that untimely death was not her part and she resisted it.

10. You Must know that God cannot lie.

So we’ve listed all these beautiful things we need to know. But you see, sometimes, doubt tries to steal our faith. We cannot lose grip of the FAITHFULNESS of God. God cannot lie and God is faithful.

“that by two immutable things in which it is impossible for God to lie, we might have strong consolation,…” Hebrews 6:18

“God is not a man that He should lie; neither the son of man that He should repent: hath He said and shall He not do it? or hath He spoken and shall He not make it good?” Numbers 23:19

“And also the Strength of Israel will not lie nor repent; for he is not a man that He should repent.” 1 Samuel 15:29

“In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began.” Titus 1:2

Beloved, God’s Will is for us to be in Health. He didn’t just wish it, He made certain that we have health by dying Himself on the cross, bearing our sicknesses and infirmities in His own body.

These things are TRUE.

We must believe them and hold fast to them irrespective of our present circumstances or state of health. Because God is FAITHFUL and He CANNOT LIE.

If Jesus Christ, many times raised a dead body (after all the systems and organs shut down), He can handle the disease or deadness of any one part of your body or body system, heal it and give life back to it.

Don’t give up on yourself and do not give up on God. God is counting on you NOT to give up. He is expecting you to win this trial of your faith and be strong enough to support another.
