By His Stripes (V)
Be Sensitive; Walk With The Holy Spirit
By His Stripes we are healed (Isaiah 53:4-5).
God walks with us at the level of our faith. Whether our faith is little, great or exceedingly great, Jesus is available to walk with us. Yes God abhors ‘No faith’, however, a faith as little as a mustard seed can set things in motion for us (Luke 17:6).
So put your faith to work and be sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit.
Make Room for the Holy Spirit to HELP You
Sometimes we are struggling with health conditions that just an inspiration from the Holy Spirit can fix. I am personally becoming increasingly reliant on the Holy Spirit than anything else in deciphering what’s going in my body. And every time I follow His leading to operate in wisdom and make necessary changes or adjustments, my health improves. Sometimes He takes away the anxiety by whispering to me exactly what is going on; no need to panic because sometimes it’s just a physiological process going on in my body that will fade with time.
The Holy Spirit is our Helper and He is available to help us in all every area of life (John 14:16, 16:7).
Discern Demonic Oppressions with the Help of the Spirit
Some sicknesses are results of demonic oppression but we will never know which sickness to cast out the oppressing demon and which to command healing on, if we are not sensitive.
I remember one health challenge I had; I kept saying my healing confessions, breaking bread, etc, there was not much progress. One day as I prayed in the Spirit, I heard clearly in my spirit that “spirits don’t die“. Indeed, this was a new revelation to me. From then I remembered the day it felt as though another individual walked straight into my body, it was almost so real to me. I knew something was wrong, but I didn’t fully understand it. So in trying to overcome this particular health challenge, in addition to saying my healing confessions, I would also pray that any foreign spirit in my body would die.
From the day I got that revelation, the Holy Spirit started guiding me to scriptures where Jesus casted out demons from sick people and they got well. I commanded the oppressing spirit to leave my body. That was the end of that challenge. Just like that.
Follow the Spirit’s leading in your Word Study
The Holy Spirit is not just our teacher but also our guide (John 14:26, John 16:13, Psalm 143:10). We should let Him guide us into all truth of God’s Word as relevant for every season of our life.
I’ve found that many times before a health attack comes to me, God always sends a Word ahead. That Word comes to comfort and charge me up through it all. I believe that this is one way God stays with us through challenging periods, He sends a Word.
But I’ve also realized that I cannot hear or discern what God is saying when I am anxious or in panic mode. So I’ve learnt to relax and trust God. You will not easily hear God in a panic mode, you will struggle with understanding God’s leading in the flesh mode.
So walk in the Spirit as a lifestyle and know at times that by His stripes we are healed.
Allow the Spirit to Comfort and Charge you up
Health challenges or attacks can come to anyone, so don’t get weary or lose faith if they come. Resist them when they come. Do not think the Word is not working because yet another health challenge came. Neither lose faith nor make room to feel depressed.
Your adversary the enemy, roams around every day! (1 Peter 5:8). The good news is that Jesus already came and healed us by His stripes. Halleluyah!
You are a Believer, you are the Righteous. The Righteous lives (daily) by faith (Hebrews 10:38). Every day is a Faith Day! Every day is the day to walk in faith. Stand on the Word of God. Keep saying what the Word says and keep believing it.
Stay Conscious of the Ever-Abiding Presence of the Holy Spirit
Never give up, never give in. Jesus already won the victory.
The Holy Spirit was sent to Abide with us FOREVER. As you stay conscious of being healed by His stripes, never forget this too.
“And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever“— John 14:16 NKJV
You are not alone, God is Always with you. He is with you through the waters; therefore the rivers will not overflow you, the fire will not burn you, the flame will not scorch you (Isaiah 43:2). Just stay alive and alert in the spirit. Hang in there and keep the Word on your lips.
Halleluyah!!!
God Wants You Well and He Ensured it
God is interested in our spiritual and physical wellbeing (Isaiah 53;4-5, 3 John 1:2) and that is why Jesus carried our sicknesses, pains and sorrows on Himself; in His own body (Isaiah 53:4-5). He did it so that we do not have to bear, carry or suffer any of these things. We are delivered from sin and its consequences. Ignorance about the Word of God on healing or laziness will not stop us from practicing the Word by faith. We will make wise and healthy lifestyle choices and ensure to partake of the Lord’s Body in love.
If our bodies ever become challenged we know just what to do; we will resist sickness and disease by faith in the Word, take authority over them in the name of Jesus, we will remember and profess the sacrifice of Jesus for us and we will intentionally make healthy life decisions. And we will remain confident of the ever-abiding presence of the Holy Spirit- God is with us! We are not alone. By the Stripes of Jesus we are healed.
Glory be to Jesus, for By His Stripes we are healed!!!
Become more sensitive to the leading of the Spirit by becoming strengthened in the innerman.
