Thank
you for joining me for the second part of my teaching.
I
want to begin by saying that if you will follow these lessons throughout their
entirety, you will have a solid basis from which you and others may receive
healing. You will also learn how to not
just go from healing to healing, but you will learn how to daily live in divine
health.
By
studying the scriptures with me, you will have answers as to why or why not
people are -- or are not healed. I suggest that if you can separate yourself
from the thoughts about loved ones, or friends, that have not been healed, and
have gone to heaven, and look at the scriptures to learn about healing, you
will be able to find the answers and comfort you need.
8
different Biblical ways or methods of receiving healing is by grace, and that
is listed as God’s supernatural healing through GIFTS OF HEALINGS (I
Corinthians 12:8-11) and through special anointing for healing miracles (Acts
18:11-12). All the other methods of
healing, according to the Scriptures, are through the believer’s faith and
directly related to his/her faith in what God has said in His Word and
accomplished in Jesus Christ.
The
8 different ways or methods, which can be used to receive healing, according to
the Scriptures, are briefly as follows:
Ø
Healing given totally by God’s sovereign grace
(requiring no faith at all from the recipient).
Ø
Through Gifts of Healings (I Corinthians 12:8-11)
and special anointing for healing miracles (Acts 19:11-12).
Ø
Healing requiring an exercise or response of
faith by the recipient. This includes
the other seven Biblical methods of receiving healing which are as follows:
Ø
Through the laying on of hands (Mark 16:18 and
Hebrews 6:1-2). You and I as believers
should be doing this on an ongoing basis.
Jesus said we would and I don’t think it was just a “suggestion.”
Ø
Through anointing with oil and the prayer of
faith (James 5:14-16 and Mark 6:13).
Ø
Through believing and speaking God’s Word (Mark
11:23 and Proverbs 4:20-24). I think
that Proverbs 4:20-24 is a vital key in this teaching.
Ø
Through two or more agreeing on earth as touching
anything they ask (Matthew 18:19-20) that is according to God’s will.
Ø
Through believing that you receive it when you
pray (Mark 11:24).
Ø
Through receiving the Lord’s Supper with faith (I
Corinthians 11:26-32) and having an understanding of the Communion table.
Ø
Through using the name of Jesus (John 14:13-14
and Acts 3:1-8.
As
we investigate these 8 ways or methods to receive healing from God, you can
certainly find several ways whereby you can receive healing for yourself. In addition to this, after you understand
God’s variety of “delivery systems” or methods to bring healing, you will be
able to help others reach out and receive healing.
In
addition to the above, I want to take you through the scriptures from the
beginning of creation, through the Old Testament and the New to provide an even
more solid basis for you to stand for healing for yourself or others.
We
will be examining the Hebrew words in the Old Testament and the Greek words in
the New Testament. We will be looking
at the definitions of words according to the Hebrew and Greek, and the meanings
associated with them, instead of the Webster Dictionary translations. So, during the New Year, please know your
healing and health has been paid for on Calvary, and belongs to you. Please look up these scriptures, meditate on
them, asking the Holy Spirit to reveal these Kingdom of God principles to
you. We will continue to study together
next month, beginning with Genesis 1:31, where God saw everything He had made
and it was very good. That sounds
pretty promising to me. God bless you
all.
God
bless you,
