Continuing from yesterday to explain some reasons why healings may not manifest instantly.
2. Demon Activity:
Luke the physician wrote about a woman who “had a spirit of infirmity eighteen years, and was bent over and could in no way raise herself up.”
However, after Jesus spoke directly to her condition, she healed.( Luke 13:10-17)
If you study the healing ministry of Jesus Christ, you will observe that HE heals by either casting out the evil spirit or by declaring the person forgiven. (See Luke 7:48)
In earlier articles we explained that Sin is the primary cause of sickness. And since sin is humanity’s genetic legacy, it opened up humanity to genetic disorders.
We also pointed out that since Adam disobeyed God and obeyed satan the devil, that act placed Humans under satan and the evil spirits.
So, among the secondary causes of sicknesses and diseases are satan’s forces of evils, and the unrepentant heart.
3.- Need to Repent and stop sinfulness
Forgiveness of sins releases spiritual healings thus, making physical healings possible.
However, God requires a change of heart to reflect in a change in action.
James 5:14-16, points that sinfulness could hinder the process of healing or the manifestation of healings. Furthermore, it is good to know that confession of sins will neutralize both satan and the sickness.
As much as God desires that we enjoy good health with prosperity, those who cover their sins and continue in them hinder their own good health.
God sees your heart. He understands that instant healing will jeopardize your future, so He allows you more grace, so you can grow in the Doctrines of Christ.
I believe that it is an act of God’s infinite mercy not to heal some people instantly. Because, they would continue to perpetuate the evils that feed the diseases and the return of the disease would become more destructive. (Read Matthew 12:43-45)
Your part/ #PrayerPoints4Today (10mins)
a.- Repent: Apply the principles of Proverbs 28:13, 1 John 1:9.
b.- Stop all those sinful activities or thoughts that feed the diseases and enable the demonic hordes to continue to torment you.
b.- In addition to holding fast to the Word of God that has released health and healings to you, you should also speak to your body or mind- whichever is afflicted. Just as Jesus Christ spoke directly to the woman- ” Woman, thou art loosed” (Luke 13:12)
c.- Pronounce yourself loosed from that infirmity. (Remember that life and death is in your mouth. Speak life that you may live.)
d.- You can also enforce the victory of the Cross- command the evil spirit to leave your body at once and go to the feet of Jesus Christ. (Luke 10:19, Philippians 2:9-11)
*- In dealing with the evil spirits, address them by the name of your diagnoses, presenting conditions or symptoms- follow the example of Jesus Christ- command them to leave!
e. -And if you meet further resistance, then its time to seek special ministry from those who God specifically designed/equipped with the appropriate authority to deal with the satanic- They are God’s Gift to the Body of Christ (Read Ephesians 4)
We will continue tomorrow to explore other reasons. You are healed is not a Christian hype. It is the Truth. Do the needful.
