The Daily Word of Righteousness
The Message of the Two Witnesses, #7
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth. (III John 1:2)
We are in the process of being saved spiritually. As our spiritual healing progresses we can expect physical healing to occur.
Physical healing is associated with freedom from sin. Notice the following:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities; who healeth all thy diseases; (Psalms 103:3)
Do you see in the above that physical healing follows the forgiveness of our wickedness?
Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: And 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. Confess your faults [sins] one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. (James 5:14-16)
In James (above) we are told to confess our sins one to another. Then we are to pray one for another that we may be healed physically.
If we who love the Lord are willing to receive the fact that physical healing is included in the atonement, then we will have faith to go to the Lord for our healing just as we go to Him for release from the bondages of sin.
The Bible says, "who healeth all thy diseases." The Bible says, "but the Lord delivereth him out of them all," referring to afflictions. The Bible says, "by His stripes we have been healed."
If you are physically disabled, then right now begin to remind the Lord of the three statements in the preceding paragraph. Praise the Lord for His goodness. Give thanks to the Lord for all He has done for you and then remind Him of what He has said in His Word. Blow the trumpet! Remind the Lord of His promise! Do so with energy. Do it every day. You shall be healed.
Physical healing is the children's bread. It is included in the atonement. Never, never, never give up! You may be healed instantly. Your healing may be five years down the road. But your healing will come at the best possible time, the time that will be most beneficial for you in terms of your entering the Kingdom of God.
We understand that sometimes God, for a season, uses physical illness to accomplish a spiritual purpose in our life.
And he said unto me, My grace is sufficient for thee: for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Most gladly therefore will I rather glory in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me. (II Corinthians 12:9)
We understand also that we are required to suffer as God removes the love of the world, the love of sin, and self-will from us.
But the God of all grace, who hath called us unto his eternal glory by Christ, after that ye have suffered a while, make you perfect, stablish, strengthen, settle you. (I Peter 5:10)
