YOU ARE HEALED AND REDEEMED

Good health is something we all want, but few people know its ultimate source. Healing doesn’t come from prescriptions, doctors, hospitals, or even from eating right and living a healthy lifestyle. In these end times, many people are depending on these things because of a widespread fear of getting sick, but it doesn’t have to be that way. There is an antidote to all sicknesses and diseases, and His name is Jesus.

There’s nothing wrong with taking preventive health care measures, seeing doctors when necessary, and using common sense. However, despite their good intentions, there’s only so much doctors can do through their own efforts. Wise physicians pray because they know the power of believing in the Great Physician. Jesus went to the Cross to provide healing for us on every level. “…By his wounds you were healed” (1 Peter 2:24).  God loves us, and sickness isn’t His will for us. If we really believe this, we won’t let fear carry us away. His promise of protection, given thousands of years ago, still stands today. “Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me” (Psalm 23:4). Those who trust in Him have nothing to fear.

Healing was a large part of Jesus’ earthly ministry. All that was necessary to be healed was belief that He was willing and able to do so. Trust in Jesus allowed Him to heal anyone who came to Him (Matthew 9:20-22; Matthew 12:22; Mark 1:40-45; Luke 17:11-19). God’s promises of healing, both physically and emotionally, haven’t changed at all. In this period of fasting and praying, keep activating the victory Jesus wrought over sickness in your prayers. It's a completed work of victory you are claiming now! Amen

Confession:

I prosper in my mind, in my body, in my spirit, and in my finances. Sickness and diseases have no place in my body, I choose life therefore I shall not die in Jesus name, Amen.
