* * * * article from p. 6 continues * * * * • 1 Peter 2:24: “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.” YES! • 3 John 2 ("NKJV"): “Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers.” YES! These verses alone are enough to fire up your faith—and they’re just a few examples. The WORD of God is full of healing scriptures, and in Christ they’re all yours. They’re yours to believe with your heart and confess with your mouth. They’re yours so that, as surely as the woman with the issue of blood, you can reach out and take your healing with the hand of faith. Get Up Off the Couch That’s what LaShae McKinney did. If you’ve been to Healing School lately, you’ve heard her testimony. She was diagnosed a few years ago with lymphoma cancer. Just a young woman, she was told by doctors she had only 30 days to live. “I was breathing like a 93-year-old woman,” she says. “My liver and spleen were 200 times larger than they were supposed to be. I didn’t have the energy or the breath to do anything. Walking by the mirror I saw the shadow of death and fear gripped my heart. I knew by the looks of things I wasn’t going to make it.” A minister and a Partner of this ministry, LaShae knew what The WORD says about healing. She’d preached it. But overwhelmed by the diagnosis and the symptoms of the disease, all she did for the first couple of days was lie on the couch. Then her father said something that got her attention. A minister and man of faith himself, he told her, “You’re going to die if you don’t get up from there. You are a minister of the gospel. The devil is fighting you because of what you are doing positive in the kingdom of God. Physician, get up, and heal yourself!” LaShae got the message and grabbed her Bible. “I’d heard from Gloria Copeland that we should take The WORD like medicine,” she says, “that we should take it by mouth three times a day and if the situation gets worse to double the dosage. So that’s what I did.” For 28 days, three times a day, she walked the floor quoting healing scriptures, prophesying them over her life. During those 28 days her body seemed unchanged. She didn’t feel any different. On the 29th day, however, something happened. Faith kicked in and she knew in her spirit she was healed. “I went back to the doctor, and had X-rays taken again,” she says. “They brought in one specialist to look at them, then another and another. Eventually five specialists were there talking among themselves. “Finally, one of them came over to me. He showed me the cancerous X-ray from 30 days before along with the new X-ray and said, ‘Where is the cancer? It’s not here!’” Why wasn’t it there? Because LaShae refused to stay on that couch and give in to it. She got up and fed her faith and refused to quit. She stayed in The WORD because she knew the Healer had come, and healing is here. She just needed to get her receiver turned on and tune in to it. Another one of our Partners shared with us a similar story. A lovely young woman, she was having a lot of trouble with her body retaining water. Her condition was so serious the doctors told her she’d have to wrap her body in compression bandages the rest of her life just to be able to function. It took her over an hour every day just to put on the bandages. Plus, they were so heavy they made her miserable. “This is no good,” she said. Then one day, watching the "Believer’s Voice of Victory" broadcast, she found out about Gloria’s healing package and ordered it. The CD in it so ministered to her, she listened to it over and over. As time passed and she kept immersing herself in The WORD that was on that CD, she started getting better, little by little. Eventually the problem she’d had with water retention totally went away. “Wait a minute,” you might say, “surely you’re not suggesting that I listen to the same healing message over and over!” That’s exactly what I’m suggesting. You eat the same physical foods over and over, don’t you? If you like eggs for breakfast, you eat them repeatedly. You don’t have to have something different every single morning. You keep eating what you like. Why not do the same with spiritual food? In addition to feeding on a variety of healing messages and scriptures, when you find one that really excites your spirit, keep going back to it. Keep letting it build your faith. As you do though, remember you’re not building your faith in order to get God to heal you. He loves you so much He provided healing for you a long time ago. He has already declared it in His WORD: “By [Jesus’] stripes you were healed.” Just as with the new birth, Jesus has done the hard part. He paid the full price for your healing and He’s so easy to receive from. The Healer has come. Healing is here!
