IT IS GOD'S WILL FOR YOU TO BE IN GOOD HEALTH

Rev.Michael Benson Ajayi

Matthew 12:15 "But when Jesus knew  it, he withdrew himself from  thence: and great multitudes followed him, and he healed them all;"
        This scriptures underscores the importance of healing as an integral part of God’s plan for humanity. Jesus did not discriminate in his healing ministry,  it cut across religious and racial divides. For as many that came to him received their healing at no cost.
         As part of the package for our salvation, Jesus paid the price for our healing through the bruises on His body.  The scriptures says Isaiah 53: 5" But he  was wounded for our transgressions,  he  was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace  was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed. ". Also  Matthew 8:16-17 says "... 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. " They received their deliverance from sicknesses and diseases at no cost .Jesus demonstrated this in the manner with which his followers were healed, in one instance the scriptures says in Matthew 9:35 "And Jesus went  about all the cities and villages, teaching in their synagogues, and preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every  sickness and every disease among the people."
        There was no special case that needed special attention in Jesus' sight ,sicknesses were treated as being the same.  None was considered as being more serious than others and therefore needed more power. It was the same healing power that healed a toothache that healed the deaf and dumb. It is man that gives strength or degree of intensity to diseases. God sees them as the same. The scriptures says Jeremiah 32:27 "Behold, I  am the Lord, the God of all flesh: is there any thing too hard for me? " and verse 17 "Ah lord God!.There is nothing to hard for Thee". God heals all diseases without exception Psalm103:3 says "Who healeth all thy diseases.  "
       We should not be contemplating if it is God's will for us to be healed;  that would be acting in unbelief.  It is His will and therefore our right as God’s children. Whenever we desire healing, we should do so with confidence based on the authority of scriptures . Deuteronomy 7:15 says "  And the Lord will take away from thee all sickness, and will put none of the evil diseases of Egypt, which thou knowest, upon  thee; but will lay them upon all them that hate thee. " and He says in Exodus 15: 26b ...I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the Lord that  healeth thee." it is erroneous to think that God sends diseases to His children to teach them a lesson. He sends His word and the word heals us (psalm107:20) The power for healing is in God’s word and our healing takes place as soon as we receive His word in faith. We shouldn’t believe the devil's lies when He says God has hidden His face from us in other to afflict us with sickness.  The scriptures says in Psalm 22: 24 "For he hath not despised nor abhorred the affliction of the afflicted; neither hath he hid his face from  him; but when he cried unto him, he heard."instead we should speak to the sickness saying for example "arthritis, Jesus paid the price for my freedom from all diseases, you have no right to be active in my body,  be gone with your symptoms out of my body now,I receive healing in my body in Jesus name".
          It is difficult to receive healing under a state of guilt that's why the scriptures in Psalm 103: 3 starts by letting us know that our sins are forgiven and there is therefore now no condemnation in Christ Jesus (Rom8:1), you have not been condemned to die of that disease because of your sins.
    Sin consciousness hinders healing ,the scriptures says in Psalm 66:18 -20"If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear  me:  But verily God hath heard  me; he  hath attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed  be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me." God will not turn away your plea for healing,  thank Him for His mercy always. Haven asked Him for forgiveness for sins we should believe by faith that we have been forgiven considering His promise to show us mercy. Therefore we should not allow the devil overwhelm our thoughts with sin consciousness.  We have been redeemed through the blood of Jesus Christ. Faith for healing comes when our hearts stops condemning us (1jn 3:21). Confessing our faults in the pursuit of reconciliation and memorizing and declaring scriptures on healing is a sure way to silence the devil whenever he tries to remind us of our past failures(.James5:15-16, Proverbs 7:2-3,Romans 10:17) faith for healing comes when you hear yourself recite the holy scriptures and while on it we should take steps of faith by attempting to do what we couldn't do before while standing our grounds on God’s promises.
 Prayer : Heavenly Father, forgive me of my sins ,I believe Jesus died for my sins and was raised again for my salvation and I receive grace for healing and restoration in Jesus name.
