” And as ye go, preach, saying, The kingdom of heaven is at hand. 10:8 Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the dead, cast out devils: freely ye have received, freely give.”
Mat 10:7-8
Kenneth E Hagin used to say, ” If the sick can give me as much attention as they give to the Doctors and do all the things I will recommend the very same way they would act on the Doctor’s word ,I can get them healed of any disease.” When you learn that God raises the dead, you will stop magnifying sickness nomatter the sound of its name. If only you can give attention to the word of God and act on it, you can walk out of any situation. Even if your leg is withered with stroke, it can receive life. Christianity is not just about going to heaven, God’s power is available in the earth today for your advantage. You are not to die because you are a victim of sickness. This is not to criticize those who are sick but to encourage you to stand against sickness. Jesus gave us an example. He taught and healed the sick, and these two were primary in his ministry. If you say you are a Christian or a pastor , then you are to continue the ministry of Jesus Christ.
If it’s your child who is blind, don’t just accept it as normal. Talk to those blind eyes until they see. It doesn’t matter if it will take 5 months for those eyes to open. Just be sure to reject the blindness and to keep talking. Don’t give up because you didn’t see a change in a week. Stand against everything that hurts and binds. Don’t let the world tell you it’s okay to accept sickness. You are the health giver, and you are not to be sick. You are the healer and not the one to be sick. You may be sick right now but declare , ” I refuse to be sick”. The life of Christ defeats viruses and infections, that life is in you. Bible truths are operative by faith, which means that until you confess and live in consciousness of these truths, they will not work for you . As long as your mind thinks only of going to the doctor, then your faith will be inoperative. Train yourself to live by the word and to use the word. Sometimes, you just need to take a walk and talk to your body. I am showing you practical ways to handle sickness.
Instead of sleeping in the afternoon and requesting more blankets, get up and resist sickness. The more you feel like sleeping , the more you should resist sleep. The more sickness makes you feel like not eating ,the more you should eat. That’s why it’s called a fight of faith. You do what is against your feelings, you may feel like you dont have energy to stand but you say, ” LORD ,you are the strength of my life therefore am getting up to walk.” Your legs maybe shaking but you say , ” In the name of Jesus I am the strong”. Some folks, if God heals you, then things will just happen automatically, no. Satan will try to show you all the symptoms that you are not healed. You will have to walk by faith, not by sight. I have said, “If you feel like not eating, then eat the more.” Even if you vomit, request more food. This is how to act on the word of God and live above feelings. That leg may hurt initially, but I am gonna act on my faith and make it walk. Faith is what you do because of what you believe.
