I Am The God That Healeth Thee - Don Moen It is your Heavenly Father’s good pleasure to give you the Kingdom. The kingdom of God is righteousness, peace and joy in the Holy Spirit. Even in your valley seasons, you can have the Lord’s joy. This joy is not dependent on your circumstances. Jesus is your joy, hope and peace. Pastor Lawrence read a testimony of Marcus’ miraculous healing from Alzheimer’s disease through partaking of the Holy Communion. This testimony is in Pastor Joseph Prince’s new book “Eat Your Way to Life and Health”. There are some diseases that medical science says are incurable—that’s a fact. But God’s word is the truth and God’s word says that by Jesus’ stripes, we are healed. God’s will is revealed in His word. It is God’s will for every person to be healed, healthy, strong and to live a life full of energy and vigor. Jesus is perfect theology. When you see Jesus, you’ll know what God’s will is. Jesus is the Word and will of God. Jesus is the exact image of the invisible God. In the Greek, it means that Jesus is the exact representation of what God the Father is like. Don’t let people cheat you into believing that it’s God will for you to be sick. When Jesus was on earth, He went about doing good, destroying the works of the devil. One of the things He did most frequently was to heal the sick. He cleansed the lepers and even opened the eyes of the blind. God’s heart is for you to be healed and to be well. Exodus 15:26 - Yahweh revealed His name to the children of Israel. When He reveals His name, it’s because He wants you to know His heart for you. His name is Yahweh Rapha (Yahweh who heals you). You can have this assurance in your heart that He wants to heal you through His finished work at the cross. “and he said, “If you will diligently listen to Yahweh your God’s voice, and will do that which is right in his eyes, and will pay attention to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of the diseases on you, which I have put on the Egyptians; for I am Yahweh who heals you.”” (Exodus 15:26 WEB) Even if something bad happens, God’s Grace is greater than what you did or did not do. Your faith shouldn’t be based on what you did or did not do. When bad things happen, don’t blame God and do not blame yourself. Instead of trying to find out why it happened, look for the solution—Jesus’ finished work at the cross. God’s provision through the cross is greater than any challenge you may face. Pastor Lawrence really believes the revelation of the Holy Communion is needed for this season. We should be immersing in Pastor Prince’s new book and receiving the revelations within. Pastor Lawrence wasn’t asked by anyone to say this—it’s his own opinion. The blood of Jesus Christ has cleansed us from every sin, so how can it be that we are made sick because of a sin that we committed many years ago? God will never hold our sins against us.
When we lay hands on the sick and pray for them to be healed, God answers the prayer of an undeserving person and heals another undeserving person. The lesson is that healing is only by the Grace of God. We can’t deserve it by our own goodness. It is God's will to heal us and it is only possible through Jesus' finished work at the cross!
