Day 40
Exodus 15:26
' -.for I am the Lord that healeth thee."
God declared that He was the Physician of His people. A physician prescribes different types of treatment for his patients, depending on their individual needs. God, as our Physician, has provided different means for us to receive healing. We must be sensitive to His Spirit to know what our current prescription is. If we let Him, Our Father will take excellent care of us.
We should know where our faith is and be led by the Holy Spirit as to how our healing should come. We must never stop to question that healing belongs to us. God has provided many methods through which we can receive supernatural healing. Healing can come by the laying on of hands, anointing with oil and the prayer of faith, Holy Communion, the prayer of agreement, speaking the Word, the gifts of the Spirit, or by other means.
God has also blessed us with doctors who assist with natural healing. We can use them, but we must never put our full confidence in them. If we use a doctor, we must see him as an instrument, but recognize God as our source. By doing so, we can see the hand of God work along with the doctor to speed up recovery. God can cause him to go beyond his known abilities. He can baffle the students of medical science as things occur that they do not expect or understand.
II Chronicles 7:14 says, "If my people...turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from Heaven...and will heal their land." Sometimes there are hindrances to our healing. That is why being led by the Spirit of God and walking in obedience to the whole Word of God is important.
III John 2 lets us know that God wants us to go beyond healing and live in health. So, our goal should line up with that. However, if we need healing, we can allow the Holy Spirit to lead us as to how we should receive in each case. In every case, we should offer thanksgiving in advance for the healing that has been provided for us.
I thank God I am healed, healthy and perfectly whole. I will walk in obedience to God's Word and be led by His Spirit God will lead me to the means by which I can see healing and health maintained in my body.
