Healing
Devotions:
Many people view healing as magical. They know that there is another deminsion at work. When healing by doctors fail they seek out other alternatives. Sickness and disease are spiritual problems. Doctors can only treat symptoms and try to make it condusive for the body to heal itself. Before Jesus returns and restores righteousness to earth, sickness and disease will always be here. Believers do not have to be subject to sickness and disease.
“When evening had come, they brought to Him many who were demon-possessed. And He cast out the spirits with a word, and healed all who were sick, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Isaiah the prophet, saying: “He Himself took our infirmities And bore our sicknesses.”” Matthew 8:16-17 NKJV
Jesus has already dealt with the spiritual problem but paying the price to forgive all sin. We believers just need to radically believe that Jesus healed us. Sickness and disease put up a good argument that we are not healed but sick and dying. Sickness and disease produce convincing evidence that they are true and if left unattended they will kill you. But what is truth, the word of God, will trumph what is true. When we believe and act like God's word is true we will see results every time. If we do not see results then we need to check ourselves and see where we are not believing correctly, ask the Lord to show you what to do, James 1:5.
So there is an unseen spiritual side to sickness and disease but the spiritual side was dealt with in Jesus. This is not only for our personal healing but also that we may lay hands on the sick and they will recover. The sick that we have the privilege of laying hands on in faith are not necessarily believers. Their healing is based on our obedience to do what Jesus said in Mark 16.
“And these signs will follow those who believe: In My name they will cast out demons; they will speak with new tongues; they will take up serpents; and if they drink anything deadly, it will by no means hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover.””
Mark 16:17-18 NKJV
There is no magic about healng, it is all about Jesus and His redemption for us. This is your inheritance, do not let satan steal it from you.
