Easy to Receive
by Gloria Copeland
Years ago, the Lord gave me a message to preach at Healing School that turned out to be what you might call a spiritual game changer. Simple and straight from the Word, in one sense it wasn’t anything new. Yet the results it produced in our healing services were nothing short of amazing.
In the first six months I preached it, more people got their healing than ever before. More miracles happened in the services. More blind eyes were opened than I’d seen in 20 years of ministry.
One blind man who got his sight was 90 years old! He’d been specifically led of the Lord to attend Healing School that year, and he’d come with a great sense of expectancy. After listening intently to the message, he came forward for prayer and on the way back to his seat he began to see.
In another meeting, a woman showed up who in addition to being blind, had a burning desire to go into ministry. She heard me preach the same message, came forward to have hands laid on her, got healed and went away shouting, “Hallelujah! I’m going to work for the Lord!”
What message was it that enabled people to lay hold of such miracles? Simply this: Jesus is Anointed to heal, and He’s easy to receive from!
That’s a very basic message, but it’s one we all need to hear, time and again. Every time I preach it, it strengthens my faith. It counters the lie the devil continually peddles, that sometimes getting healed is hard. It reminds me that the Anointing of Jesus is still as strong as ever, and that He can heal me of anything, anytime, anywhere, just as easily as He healed people in the Gospels, where multitudes “sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all” (Luke 6:19).
