To get the picture, think of it like a football game. An outstanding quarterback can throw great passes all day long. He can put the ball exactly where it’s supposed to be, but if the guy he’s throwing it to just lets it bounce off his chest, the play won’t be a success. The pass won’t be completed because the receiver didn’t receive. Much the same thing is true spiritually. God is not looking to hold back on us. He’s ready all the time to pour out His BLESSINGS. He’s “good to all: and…He will fulfil the desire of them that fear him” (Psalm 145:9, 19). But He needs receivers! Do you desire healing? God will fulfill that desire because He loves you and wants you well. He wants it so much He included healing in the plan of Redemption. He sent Jesus to bear your sicknesses and diseases just as surely as He sent Him to bear your sins. God will heal you as freely as He will forgive you. He’s just waiting for you to receive. Sadly, in some Christian circles people have been confused about this. They’ve been taught that you never know what God is going to do. That He might want you to stay sick for a while to teach you something, or that He might withhold healing from you because you’ve misbehaved. But such ideas are totally unscriptural! Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8), and when He was on the earth He never turned away anyone who came to Him for healing. On the contrary, the New Testament says: • “God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him” (Acts 10:38). • “Great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all” (Matthew 12:15). • “They brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses” (Matthew 8:16–17). • “A great multitude of people…came to hear him, and to be healed of their diseases…. And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue (power) out of him, and healed them all” (Luke 6:17, 19). Surely, among the thousands of sick people who came to Jesus for healing, there must have been someone who still needed to learn some things. Surely, among the multitudes He ministered to there must have been at least a few rascals. Yet He healed them all. God changes not! If it was His will back then for all to be healed, then it is still His will today (Malachi 3:6). So make the quality decision today to be like the people in the Gospels who came to hear Jesus and be healed. Take time to attend to God’s WORD. Put it first place in your life. Take it like medicine by keeping it before your eyes and in your ears. Believe it in your heart and say it with your mouth. Stand on it in simple, childlike faith like the little boy Brother Oral Roberts used to talk about. Born with feet so malformed he’d never worn a pair of shoes, that little boy showed up at one of Brother Roberts’ meetings so convinced he was going to be healed, that he’d brought a new pair of shoes with him to the service. The crowd was so big that night that Brother Roberts couldn’t lay hands on everyone. So he had to close the meeting before the little boy could get to him. Not to be denied, however, the boy called out to Brother Roberts as he was leaving. “I’m supposed to be healed tonight!” he said. Brother Roberts explained that he was too physically worn out to pray even one more prayer of faith. But the boy wasn’t moved. “I don’t know anything about that,” he said. “I just know I’m supposed to be healed today.” His mother chimed in and added, “You do the praying, we’ll do the believing.” Long story short, Brother Roberts agreed, and that little boy walked out wearing his new shoes. Why shouldn’t you expect God to do the same kind of thing for you? After all, He promised you a life worth living. You’re supposed to be in health today. So believe it and receive! V POINTS TO GET YOU THERE: 1) The secret to a victorious life lies in receiving Jesus Christ as LORD and Savior and then living according to God’s WORD. (Prov. 3:1-2) 2) God’s words are His medicine; they’re Dr. Jesus’ prescription meant to be taken every day. (Prov. 4:22) 3) Your eye gates and ear gates are the two main avenues through which God’s medicine gets into your system. (Prov. 4:20-21) 4) Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever, and when He was on the earth, He never turned away anyone who came to Him for healing. (Matt. 8:16) 5) God will heal you as freely as He will forgive you. He’s just waiting for you to receive. (Mark 11:25) ************************************* ********* ADVERTISEMENT ********* "HEALING AND LOVE" God is Life…Light…and LOVE!
