When Peter’s mother-in-law was sick with a fever and they asked Jesus to heal her, He “rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she arose” (Luke 4:39).
Even the woman in Mark 5 who’d been sick for 12 years with an incurable hemorrhage of blood received her healing instantly. She said by faith in verse 28, “If I may touch but his clothes, I shall be whole,” touched the hem of Jesus’ garment, and “immediately the fountain of her blood was dried up, and [then] she felt in her body that she was healed” (verse 29, "New King James Version").
“But Brother Copeland, Jesus isn’t here on earth anymore. He’s in heaven. I can’t press through and get hold of His garment.”
No, but you can get hold of His WORD. You can press into what it says about healing and keep it in front of your eyes, in your ears and in your mouth. When you do that, you’ll make the faith connection, and God’s healing power will flow into you and go to work immediately, healing and making you whole.
LaShea McKinney can testify to it. A Partner with this ministry and a minister herself, a few years ago she was dying of lymphoma. Her liver and spleen were several times larger than they were supposed to be. She was so weak she could hardly breathe, and she’d been told by the doctors she had only 30 days to live.
As she says in the interview that we play at Healing School, “I remember walking by the mirror, I saw the shadow of death. I knew by the looks of things I wasn’t going to make it, and instead of fighting, I just laid down on the couch and succumbed.
“After a couple of days my father came in and said (in a way that didn’t sound too nice), ‘You’re going to die if you don’t get up from there. You are a minister of the gospel and the devil is fighting you because of what you’re doing for the kingdom of God. So, physician, get up and heal yourself!’”
Nice or not, those words stirred LaShea’s spirit. She got up off the couch, grabbed her Bible, and began to walk back and forth, reading and declaring the healing scriptures.
She’d heard Gloria say that when sickness attacks, you should take The WORD like medicine three times a day and if situations get worse you should double the dose. So, for the next 28 days she walked three times a day with her Bible in hand, quoting healing verses and speaking them over her life.
She didn’t feel anything change during those 27 days. But she stayed with the program and on the 28th day, something happened. “Faith kicked in and I knew that day I was healed!” she says.
