As we approach Ressurection Sunday
Lent is a season of preparation
We need to repare for the release of healing
last week I spoke on how to prepare yourself to be used by God to bring healing
Today I want to switch perpectives.
If you require healing, what are the steps you need to take to receive your healing.
Today we will look at the essentials, and next week we will go deeper into what can be holding back your healing if you’ve already done everything wer’re going to talk about today
preamble
God has provided the means for each and everyone of us to be healed.
this was done not only through the cross
but also the events leading up to the cross
Specifically the beating that Jesus received
The prophet Isaiah recorded
Jesus fulfilled Isaiahs prophesy by taking the lashes
Matthew
John
The Bible doesn’t tell us how many lashes Jesus received,
Paul tells us
Whipping a person 39 times was the standard practice in NT times 40 was the max limit
but this was a roman flogging
The romans’s believed 40 lashes would kill the man and therefore be a death sentence.
in order for it not to be a death sentence it was capped at 39.
Jesus bore the stripes to provide the means for us to be healed from every sickness diesease or infirmity
To make a way for God’s will to be done on earth as it is in heaven.
If you want to know whether or not its God’s will, simply ask the question:
Does this sickness or infirmity exist in heaven?
If it doesn’t exit in heaven, where God’s will is fulfilled and carried out,
then God does not want it to exist on earth.
Not only does he not want it to exist on earth
God actually did something about it.
The Father sent His Son to be beaten for our diseases.
Jesus paid the price so you wouldn’t have to.
So why are we suffering from sickness and disease if Jesus took it on himself?
Well I beleive we still have a part to play.
Jesus did His part, now its our turn.
Salavation
Just like Salvation where Jesus died and rose again so our sins could be forgiven
and its God’s will as Peter records
If God is holding back Jesus’ return waiting for people to come to repentance
its abundantly clear there is a role for each person to repent so they can receive forgiveness of their sins
Jesus did His part, now its our turn to do our part and Make disciples of all the nations!
now back to healing...
Jesus provided the means for healing by the scourging He bore for us.
Now what is our part.
How do we prepare for healing.
A. Ask
You don’t have because you don’t Ask
What’s your motivation?
B. Believe
How do you increase belief?
Read scripture on healing
I know of over 100 verses on healing
meditate on the ones that God highlights to you
don’t just read them
claim them for yourself
2. look for testimonies of people who have already been healed of what you are going through
youtube has many videos of testimonies from people being healed.
when you watch these tell yourself.
God did it for them He will do it for me!
3. Ask God to increase your belief in His will
C.
Call on others
Too many people believe is right to suffer in silence
Jesus never wants you to do that
the devil always wants you to do that.
satan wants you to feel isolated and alone in your trouble
God wants you to know you loved and supported when you go through difficult times
D. Repent of your sins
Sickness exist because of sin.
It never existed before sin entered the world
without sin there can be no sickness
The difficult part is that you can be sick because your sin, others sins, ancestory sins, enviromental sins
We will take a deeper look at this next week
Pray and ask Holy Spirit to reveal the source of the illlness.
This is of great importance in persitent or reoccuring sickness
once you know the source you can repent of the cause.
we have Jesus dealing with this about a boy who was born blind
E. Never give up seeking healing
Sometimes its not about sin, but rather God showing His power at the oportune time
There’s an interesting story in the book of Acts
Healing at the beautiful gate
Its an amazing story of how the disciples carried on Jesus work of healing.
He was a well known cripple.
My question is.
How many times did Jesus pass him by?
We’re told he was at the temple every day begging for alms and he was crippled from birth
Jesus would have passed him everyday He went to the temple?
But His healing was left for Peter to show the nation that His disciples could do what Jesus did!
However we cannot allow this possiblity to excuse us to become apathetic.
Yes certain healings are set for certain times,
but we should be ever so persitent in seeking healing in every occasion.
We don’t know the time so we always assume the time is now when we pray!
Widow and unjust judge
Some people feel pray once and then beleive.
I say believe and continue praying till you get what your asking for!
fervent prayer is not a lack of faith.
You may do all these things and still not be healed.
But this is where I beleive we start.
Next week we will go deeper for when these steps are not enough.
