The Bible tells us: “Stand fast therefore in the liberty wherewith Christ hath made us free” (Galatians 5:1). With His Name, His Word, His Spirit and Jesus as your Healer, you can enjoy divine health. That’s liberty and freedom! To get results, you must believe that you receive your healing when you pray—not after you are well. You are to be like Abraham, who “considered not his own body,” but instead considered what God said (Romans 4:19-20). The symptoms of sickness may continue to linger after you believe you receive. But this is the time you must hold fast to a fearless confession of the Word. “Do not, therefore, fling away your fearless confidence, for it carries a great and glorious compensation of reward. For you have need of steadfast patience and endurance, so that you may perform and fully accomplish the will of God, and thus receive and carry away [and enjoy to the full] what is promised” (Hebrews 10:35-36, "The Amplified Bible"). Do not allow your fearless confidence in God’s Word to be snatched away from you by Satan. You’re walking by faith and not by sight. Agree With the Word E.W. Kenyon teaches that there are three witnesses in receiving healing: the Word, the pain or sickness, and you. You are the deciding factor. If you join your confession with the pain, you are crossing the Word that says you are healed. If you align your confession with God’s Word, you will have to cross the pain. The Bible teaches that by two witnesses a thing is established. You make the choice. Agree with the pain, and sickness will rule. But dare to agree with the Word, and healing will be established. The circumstances will follow your action and confession. Steadfastly and patiently know that God’s Word does not fail. Refuse to be moved by what you see, and be moved only by the Word and by your confession of Jesus as Healer. The Word will change what you see. Satan will try to tell you that you are not saved. Or his symptoms of pain or sickness will suggest you are not healed. Don’t fall for his lies. Instead, stand fast in the knowledge of God’s Word, and believe you have received. Get in Position to Receive God’s mercy goes forth in accordance with His covenant, the Word. Because He has bound Himself by His Word, He can move freely only toward those who put themselves in a position to receive. Acting on the Word puts you in this position. Jesus told the nobleman whose son was at the point of death, “…thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way.” The Bible says that the boy began to amend at the same hour (John 4:46-53). When you believe that you receive healing, you may be healed instantly or you may have to act on the covenant of healing, even though your body does not feel healed. One thing you do know: When you believe that you receive, healing begins to take place in your body. God cannot keep His covenant without healing you—if you have met the conditions of that covenant. You are learning to be moved by the Word, instead of by what you see or feel. This is how faith operates. You are becoming the faith man or woman you have yearned to be. Your faith gets stronger as you use it to act on God’s Word. As you learn to stand against Satan and his symptoms, you will find it continues to become easier. But there is no formula that will work effectively unless you continually exert the force of faith through feeding on the Word. If you will continually feed on God’s Word, you will come to the place where you simply go to 1 Peter 2:24, enforce the Word that you were healed, thank God for His Word of healing, and go on about your business. Make the decision to be well. Believe you receive! V ****************************** Hear and receive My Word and the years of your life will be many! Proverbs 4:10 If you need healing in your body, look up the following verses and read them aloud daily. Refuse to give in to doubt and unbelief. And remember, God’s Word works! Ex. 15:26 Ex. 23:25 Deut. 7:14-15 Deut. 30:19-20 1 Kgs 8:56 Ps. 91:9-10, 14-16 Ps. 103:1-5 Ps. 107:19-21 Ps. 118:17 Prov. 4:20-24 Isa. 41:10 Isa. 53:4-5 Jer. 1:12 Jer. 30:17 Joel 3:10 Nah. 1:9 Matt. 8:2-3, 16-17 Matt. 18:18-19 Matt. 21:21 Mark 11:22-24 Mark 16:14-18 Rom. 4:16-21 Rom. 8:2, 11 2 Cor. 10:3-5 Gal. 3:13-14, 29 Eph. 6:10-17 Phil. 2:13 Phil. 4:6-7 2 Tim. 1:7 Heb. 10:23, 35-36 Heb. 11:11 Heb. 13:8 Jas 5:14-16 1 Pet. 2:24 1 Jn. 3:21-22 1 Jn. 5:14-15 3 Jn. 2 Rev. 12:11 BVOV : 23
