WAYS TO KEEP YOUR HEALING!!!
What are the ways to keep your healing?
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 (1 Peter 2:24).
Physical healing is one of the benefits that the death and resurrection of Jesus brought to mankind. How does one receive divine healing and how does one remain healed after receiving this miracle from the Holy Spirit?
The first way to keep your healing is to know that healing for your body is a present day reality. It is not something you are going to receive when you get to heaven. In heaven, there is no pain or sickness so healing and health is something that belongs to the children of God on this earth.
Divine healing is an asset received with the spirit of a person. You cannot contact God with your mind- no, that will not work. God is a spirit and we can only make contact with Him through our spirit. Therefore, faith is required to receive healing from God because faith is an element of the human spirit. Faith comes through believing God’s word (Mark 9:23). In the mind of God, we are already healed: “by whose stripes ye were healed” (1 Peter 2:24). “He sent His word, and healed them” (Psalm 107:20). Jesus is the word made flesh. He has come and gone, therefore, God has already healed us so it is now our responsibility to receive the healing by putting our faith to work.
Sometimes, after receiving our healing, the symptoms may seem to have returned. How should we react to this? You may have received the healing based on the faith of a minister and not on account of your own faith. Get more of the word in you and the symptoms will disappear. Usually, the return of symptoms is not real- it is just a mirage to test your faith and this is where you need to stand strong in the word of God and establish your healing. Your faith has to establish your healing. God’s word is always the secret to everything we need. Once your spirit accepts the word and believes that the healing is still in you, the symptoms will disappear. Trust in the authority and power of the name of Jesus and resist the devil (James 4:7) and your healing will stay. Resist everything (fear, doubt, intimidation, etc.) that is not consistent with the word of God about your healing.
Never open your mouth and say “I thought I was healed; indeed nothing happened”. You can lose your healing when you confess that God has not healed you. No prayer can help you when you make this confession. Your confession is very important in sealing the healing that you have received. Confess God’s word of health to the symptoms when they come back. Anytime we open the door for the devil to come in, he will surely do. You got to hold fast what you have received from the Lord through confession of His word. Have faith in God and don’t believe what the devil says to you. Confess that “ I refuse to yield to these symptoms. Health is my birthright therefore I live in supernatural health”.
When the symptoms show up again, don’t make it a habit of requesting for prayer for the condition that was healed. Though you may be prayed for, what you are saying is that “I don’t have the healing”. Many people have testimonies regarding their healing and the return of the symptoms after sometime but because they resisted the symptoms, they are ok now.
Sickness and everything negative is not from God. Heaven does not entertain sickness and everything negative. If you are sick, you will not be useful to God and the world. God expects you to walk in grace and health because Jesus has already overcome diseases and everything negative for us. The above are the ways to keep your healing. Walk in this reality, Amen.
