This is the last message in my series on healing. Thank you to everyone who sent me your healing messages and miracles. I wish I could post them all! God is doing an amazing work through this series!<\/p>\n

To those who are struggling with doubt on the subject of healing, remember what I said in the first post, seek God and ask Him to show you the truth. Don’t just take my word, or anyone else’s word. Seek God and His Word, and you will find the answer.<\/p>\n

“If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to him” (James 1:5).<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Healing Testimony By Dave Moore<\/a><\/p>\n

Today, I want to close with this wonderful teaching I read recently on Krish Fernandez’s blog. I pray it blesses you as much as it blessed me!<\/p>\n

Healed<\/strong><\/p>\n

By Krish Fernandez<\/p>\n

The redemptive work of Christ has not only redeemed and delivered you but it has also healed you.\u00c2\u00a0If you are sick; it could be a simple cold, an allergy or even a life-threatening disease like cancer, this message is especially for you to receive your miracle. And if you are in good health, do not wait until sickness comes rather read this post and prepare yourself to walk in divine health all the days of your life.<\/p>\n

Healing is your inheritance and you need to take possession of it. When the Israelites were journeying to the Land of Promise, God told them: I have given you the Land. (Deuteronomy 1:8<\/a>) (Numbers 33:53<\/a>)\u00c2\u00a0Notice that God spoke in the past tense.\u00c2\u00a0The land already had their names written on it. The land was already deposited into their account. But the Israelites never entered into the land because of their unbelief. They just could not see themselves in the land. They could not see that God had already given it to them. (Hebrews 3:16-19<\/a>). The story of the Israelites is in the Bible so that we can learn from them and not repeat their mistakes. Let not unbelief come in the way of you taking possession of your inheritance of health and healing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Healed<\/strong><\/p>\n

Isaiah 53:4<\/a>, in most Bibles reads as:\u00c2\u00a0Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. This is an inaccurate translation. The word that was translated as grief should really be translated as sickness and the word translated as sorrows should really be translated as pain. You can look this up here | Isaiah 53:4 Hebrew Text Analysis<\/a><\/p>\n

So the accurate translation reads: Surely he hath borne our sickness, and carried our pain, yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God and afflicted. Notice that the verse is in the past tense. The next verse reads by his stripes we are healed. (Isaiah 53:5<\/a>). When Peter quoted this verse he quoted it in the past tense. He said by his stripes you were healed (1 Peter 2:24<\/a>). This is similar to God telling the Israelites: I have given you the land of Canaan. God has healed you. 2000 years ago when Jesus Christ died on the Cross, he bore your sickness, carried your pain and healing and health were deposited into your account that very day, even before you were born. What I am telling has to be spiritually discerned. (1 Corinthians 2:14<\/a>)<\/p>\n

God healed you even before you were born, but the reason you are not walking in healing and health is because you did not know that you were healed (Proverbs 23:7<\/a>) and because you did not know, you were not able to take possession of it. The Israelites did not enter the Land of Promise, not because God did not give it to them, but because they did not take it. (Numbers 32:13<\/a>) (Numbers 14:33<\/a>). To live in health is your inheritance and you need to take possession of it.<\/p>\n

Isn’t that a relief? You are not trying to get God to heal you. God has already healed you and He says: Son, see I have already healed you, go and take possession of it. (Deuteronomy 1:8<\/a>). God has already healed all the people of the world but it is only those who know it and appropriate it that receive healing and walk in divine health. (Psalm 103:1-3<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Taking Possession of your Healing<\/strong><\/p>\n

So how do we take possession of our healing? Remember, God has already healed you by his grace. It is nothing you did or did not do. He healed you, even before you were born. And it is by faith that we have access to this grace. (Romans 5:2<\/a>). So the grace of God has given health and healing and it is by faith that we take possession of it. The Bible teaches that saving faith always produces works. (James 2:17<\/a>) (James 2:26<\/a>). When God told the Israelites: Go and take… it required the Israelites to act on their faith. Similarly for you to Go and take possession of your health and healing requires you to act on your faith by speaking words that give you life, exercising authority in Christ, Thanking God, Meditating on the Scriptures and Speaking to your Mountains.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking Words that give Life<\/strong><\/p>\n

One of the ways you act on your faith is by speaking words that give you life. Peter said: If you love life and want to see good days, you will keep your tongue from evil… (1 Peter 3:10<\/a>). James spoke of the same thing by saying: the tongue is like a small spark that sets the forest on fire (James 3:6<\/a>) or a small rudder that steers your entire life (James 3:4-5<\/a>). There are many Old Testament references as well that speak about the proper use of the tongue. Life and death are in the power of the tongue. (Proverbs 18:21<\/a>) The bible also says: A man eats the fruits of his lips (Proverbs 13:2-3<\/a>) (Proverbs 21:23<\/a>). According to all these scripture, you are what you speak and therefore you must obey the Bible and begin speaking words that give you life. Speak the words of the Bible and do not speak words of death.<\/p>\n

Some Healing and Health Confessions:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Surely he bore my sickness and carried my pain (Isaiah 53:4<\/a>)<\/p>\n

By his stripes I was healed (Isaiah 53:5<\/a>)<\/p>\n

The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead is in me and He will also give life to my mortal body (Romans 8:11<\/a>)<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Now I am not teaching you some mantras to repeat every day. You can repeat the above verses 1,000 times and still not take possession of your healing if you do not believe them. You need to first believe that God has already healed you and then speak these words of faith. If somebody asks you how are you feeling today? You should confess: I am healed in the Name of Jesus. Even, if you do not feel like it, confess that you are healed, not as a mantra but with faith, because you believe that God has already healed you.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Exercising Authority in Christ<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another way to act on your faith is to exercise your Authority in Christ. When Satan tries to steal your inheritance of health and healing and test your faith with the symptoms of a sickness, you have to be ready with the Scriptures like Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11<\/a>) (Luke 4:1-12<\/a>). That is when you need to say: Away from me Satan. For it is written: Surely he bore my sickness and carried my pain. I am healed in the Name of Jesus. Resist the Devil and he will flee from you (James 4:7<\/a>) and do not give him a foothold in your life (Ephesians 4:27<\/a>). You got to be ready with “it is Written”. And remember, it is not God who tests and tempts you with sickness but Satan (John 10:10<\/a>). That is why James said: consider it pure joy when you face trials because that is when Satan tests you and you can prove him wrong with what is written. (James 1:2-4<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hearts overflowing with Thankfulness\u00c2\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you believe that you are already healed and begin to walk in the light of that truth, your heart begins to overflow with thankfulness. You no longer ask God to heal you, rather you begin to thank him for what he has already done. Thanking God for what he has already done is another way of acting on your faith. I am sure you understand now, why Paul always spoke about rejoicing and thanking God. (Philippians 4:4-7<\/a>) (1 Thessalonians 5:16-18<\/a>). I believe that the majority of Paul’s prayers were prayers of thanksgiving and not prayers of asking God for something. That is because he had tremendous Revelations with respect to what God had already given to him in Christ.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Meditating on the Word of Healing and Renewing the Mind<\/strong><\/p>\n

Another important work is meditation. (Joshua 1:8<\/a>) (Psalms 1:1-3<\/a>) (Psalm 119:148<\/a>) (Psalm 119:15<\/a>). Now the word Mediation in Hebrew really means: to study, to mutter, to ponder, to muse and to declare. (Hebrew-English | Mediate<\/a>) It can even include singing. It is important we continuously bring the scriptures of healing to our memory by muttering them to ourselves, studying the bible, pondering on them and even singing them day and night. It is like one preacher says: you need to first get the sickness out of your mind before you get it out of your body.<\/strong> Paul urged the believers to be transformed by the renewing of their mind. (Romans 12:2<\/a>). The way you think is how you will live. (Proverbs 23:7<\/a>) (3 John 1:2<\/a>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Speaking to your Mountain<\/strong><\/p>\n

We already spoke about speaking words that give life but Jesus also taught us that we should speak to our mountains. (Matthew 21:18-22<\/a>) (Mark 11:12-14<\/a>, 20-23<\/a>) Now the mountains that he is referring to here are the trials we face in life. When we come across trials of many kinds, we start talking to God, our family, friends and neighbors about our trials. But that is not the right approach. It is like one preacher says: You got to speak to your mountain and not about your mountain.<\/p>\n

Some believers can spend their entire prayer time weeping before God talking about their trials. The right approach is not to speak to God about your mountain but to speak to your mountain about God. So when you get a headache, you shouldn’t be telling everybody: My head hurts. Rather you should be speaking to your headache about God. That is how you act on your faith and take possession of your healing and health. You say: Surely Jesus bore my sickness and carried my pain. Headache I command you to leave in the name of Jesus. Same goes for the cancer or any other sickness in your body.<\/p>\n

When you pray or speak to your mountain, you need to believe that you have received them and then you will have them. (Mark 11:24<\/a>) What do you think that means? You need to first believe that God has already healed you and deposited healing and health into your account. Then speak to your mountain: that you were healed, therefore you are healed and finally thank God for the promise of healing and health.<\/p>\n

The more you speak about your trial the bigger it gets, but when you speak to your trial about God, you begin to see it in the right perspective: your trial is small and powerless when compared to the exceeding greatness of God’s power that works towards us who believe. (Ephesians 1:19-20<\/a>) (Ephesians 3:20<\/a>)<\/p>\n

Krish accepted Jesus as his Savior in 2009. After that, God in his grace began to open up the scriptures to him. God has impressed a strong desire in his heart to teach His Word to all.<\/p>\n

But if I say, “I will not mention him or speak any more in his name,” his word is in my heart like a fire, a fire shut up in my bones. I am weary of holding it in; indeed, I cannot. (Jeremiah 20:9)<\/p>\n

*Thank you, Krish, for allowing me to share this powerful teaching. I found the same mistake in some translations for Isaiah 53:4<\/a>. I shared the original Greek word for it in my first post<\/a>. It does mean “sickness.”<\/em> I love how God pointed that out to both of us. \ud83d\ude42<\/em><\/p>\n
