In every situation of sickness and disease, we have three witnesses. One of those witnesses is what your senses are telling you about the symptoms you’re experiencing.

The second witnesses is the Word of God. The truth, if you will, that God speaks about your situation.

The pain declares that the sickness and diseases are not healed, the symptoms are still present and that the Word of God is not true.

The third witness that we have is the sick person. And that sick one has the opportunity to place his or her testimony alongside the Word of God and refuse to take the testimony of the pain or the symptoms—declaring that “by the stripes of Jesus, I AM HEALED!”

You can begin your healing road to recovery by acknowledging the work that was done for you on the cross, and turning away and resisting the realities of those symptoms of the sicknesses that are before you.

See your body on that cross with Him, saying, “Jesus I thank you that my sickness is upon You on that cross.” Then see yourself coming down from that cross with a new body, whole and set free!

We are not denying the reality that you may have sickness and disease currently still in manifestation in your body. What we are acknowledging is that at the moment that you prayed something else began to happen in the continuum of time. Healing began to operate!

If we make a habit of regarding the physical evidence in our bodies above what the Word of God says, we will obtain the reality and the results of that pattern of believing in our lives.

Matthew 4:23-24 says that Jesus healed all of those individuals who were affected by every manner of sickness and disease. These were no simple or light afflictions, they were some very serious diseases—and Jesus healed them all.

It’s important for us to recognize and understand that God sets no limitations—no boundaries or borders on your healing. There is no sickness too serious or too simple, no situation too difficult. The power of the Lord is present to heal (Luke 5:17), and that healing power covers every manner of sickness and every manner of disease!

If you can get the proper perspective, or image, of how God sees you in light of healing, and how you see God in light of His desire for healing for you, then you will have a foundation that cannot be moved by the storms of life. It cannot be moved by the reports of the doctor, or by the reports of the symptoms, or by the reports of the feelings that you are experiencing!

Romans 4:19 says, “And Abraham not being weak according to that which was spoken, he considered not his own body…” To really eradicate the habit of sickness and disease, you must stop considering the voice of your body, the symptoms, and everything that is going on in the natural, and lift your expectation!

Psalm 23:5 tells us that God has prepared a table for us in the presence of our enemies. On that table we’ll find healing, peace, abundance—everything that we have need of. Have you pulled up to the table and partaken of what God has for you?

Your words, because they possess the power of life and death, very often determine your outcome. If God calls you healed through the plan and purpose of redemption in Jesus Christ, what are you calling for? Are you calling for sickness and disease, or are you calling for life and healing?

Once we determine that we want to develop new habits and lifestyles, or maintain the healing or the blessing that God has given us, we must submit ourselves to the teaching of the Word of God.
