The Bible actually says if the devil had understood what Jesus was really doing when He went to the cross, he would never have crucified the Lord of glory. That was the worst mistake Satan ever made. He had no idea that, through Jesus’ death and resurrection, He would open the way for people to be born again in Jesus’ likeness. He never dreamed that after the crucifixion he’d have to deal with multiplied millions of believers who would walk in Jesus’ authority and do the same works. It was a mystery hidden in God. A Bad Day for Hell Don’t you know Satan went into shock three days after the Crucifixion when, right before his very eyes, that mystery began to unfold? I’m telling you, that was a bad day for hell! Just imagine it. The devil and his demonic hoards thought they’d put an end to Jesus. They had Him down there in the pit and they were celebrating because they had the Redeemer of mankind in their clutches. Then suddenly the glory of God came storming in, raised Jesus from the dead and, right there in the devil’s own domain, Jesus whipped him! He “spoiled principalities and powers, [and] made a show of them openly, triumphing over them in it” (Colossians 2:15). He stripped Satan of his armor and all the authority Adam had given him in the Fall, took away from him the keys of hell and death, and left him with nothing—absolutely nothing at all! Ever since that moment, the devil has been utterly defeated. The only weapon he has left is the weapon of deception. That means the only way he can stop you from receiving healing is by lying to you. He has to talk you out of believing the Word of God and into thinking that your condition is hopeless, or that God doesn’t care about you, or that for some reason you don’t deserve to be healed. If you believe those lies, the devil will continue to dominate you. He’ll keep your body sick. But if you’ll believe the Word and resist him, he has no recourse, except to flee. “But Gloria, what if I’ve sinned? Won’t that stop me from receiving healing?” No! Forgiveness and healing are part of the same spiritual package. All you have to do is repent and you can receive them both at the same time. You can act on James 5:15 and simply believe that “the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him.” God is quick to forgive and quick to heal. So don’t make healing difficult. Make it simple by doing it God’s way. Receive His Word, believe it, and don’t let the devil talk you out of it. Agree with God and be healed…anytime!
