Healing


Why are people sick?

Why are God’s children sick? God has redeemed us from the cures; sickness is part of the cures. How do we receive our healing that Jesus paid for? 


(Gen 1:26 - 31 KJV)  And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
(27)  So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

(28)  And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

(29)  And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

(30)  And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.

(31)  And God saw every thing that he had made, and, behold, it was very good. And the evening and the morning were the sixth day.

 

 


The thief Steals, kills, and destroys, not God.


John 10:10, The thief cometh not, but for to steal, and to kill, and to destroy: I am come that they might have life, and that they might have it more abundantly

Satan came into the Garden of Eden, and killed Adam and Eve. Yes he killed them, God said the day you eat from the tree of knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt surely die. Just because they appeared in the natural not to die, they did die, they were murdered by Satan. Man is spirit, soul, and body the spirit within them died, cease to live, and their bodies started to run down and die.

Satan was a murderer from the beginning


John 8:44  Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it.                                                                                   


Gen 2:17 But of the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.


Gen 3:1,6  Now the serpent was more subtle than any beast of the field which the LORD God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said, Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?     (6)  And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

Romans 5:12, Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death 

by sin; and so death passed upon men, for that all have sinned.


Luke 13:16, . . . this woman. . .whom Satan hath bound...

We are destroyed for lack of knowledge

Mat 13:15  For this people's heart is waxed gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes they have closed; lest at any time they should see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and should understand with their heart, and should be converted, and I should heal them.

1 Peter 2:24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

 

 


If we are healed, how do we get the manifestation of it?


Deuteronomy 28:1, 15  And it shall come to pass, if thou shalt hearken diligently unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe and to do all his commandments which I command thee this day, that the LORD thy God will set thee on high above all nations of the earth:  (15), But it shall come to pass, if thou wilt not hearken unto the voice of the LORD thy God, to observe to do all his commandments and his statutes which I command thee this day; that all these curses shall come upon thee, and overtake thee: 


Deuteronomy 7:13, 15, And he will love thee, and bless thee, and multiply thee:

he will also bless the fruit of thy womb, and the fruit of thy land, thy corn, and thy wine, and thine oil, the increase of thy kine, and the flocks of thy sheep, in the land which he sware unto thy fathers to give thee.
(15), And the LORD will take away from thee all thy 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.


Exodus 15:26, And said, If thou wilt diligentfr hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

Healing is the Children’s Bread

And his disciples came and besought him, saying, Send her away; for she crieth after us.   (24)  But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.    (25)  Then came she and worshipped him, saying, Lord, help me.   (26)  But he answered and said, It is not meet to take the children's bread, and cast it to dogs.   (27)  And she said, Truth, Lord: yet the dogs eat of the crumbs which fall from their masters' table.   (28)  Then Jesus answered and said unto her, O woman, great is thy faith: be it unto thee even as thou wilt. And her daughter was made whole from that very hour.
