As a young believer I remember watching a popular Christian television broadcast. While I was listening, the show host looked through the television camera and said these words, “there is a young woman out there who has suffered from tremendous back problems, in fact you are in pain right now.”
He proceeded to describe exactly what I was doing at that moment, where I was laying and what I had just said in my heart to the Lord. I was ASTONISHED! As he said these words, it felt as though a warm heat from heaven was coursing through my body.
I KNEW he was talking about me, this was a word of knowledge. God had given him a special revelation about my situation and I began to thank the Lord—the pain was leaving my body!
The gifts of healings, working of miracles, and the word of knowledge are God’s special gifts to us!
There is no condition too difficult for the Lord! Jesus healed every disease and sickness. The scripture promises that gifts of healings are available.
There are multiple gifts and multiple types of healing available for the infirmed. What an encouragement to realize that God has your condition covered!
John Wesley, founder of the Methodists, said, “God does nothing but in answer to prayer.” Prayer is the God-Man vehicle for carrying out His will.
When Jesus spoke, sickness, disease, poverty and affliction would flee. You and I are in the same structure of authority as Jesus. When we speak, things happen!
Miracles have the amazing ability to silence the voice of those who do not believe, for there is no greater evidence of the effect of God’s love and forgiveness upon a soul than an undeniable miracle!
When the Word of God is released declaring salvation and healing, any individual who calls on the name of the Lord—any person who responds to His invitation, can take up their mat, their crutch, their wheel chair and walk free from sin, sickness and disease!
Jesus understood that sickness found its origin in original sin, and that to forgive sin was to potentially release the body from the effects of sin.
The power dwelling in us was sufficient to raise Christ from the dead! Surely, this power can infuse our bodies with enough life to overcome every sickness and disease!
If you have confessed Christ as your Savior, nothing can separate you from God. No sin can control you. No sickness can have authority over your life. God Himself lives in you!
I remember traveling on a train across Russia. Laying in my bed tremendous symptoms began to attack my body. I knew this was not the place to get ill, and I had many hours to travel on this train. I opened my bible to Isaiah 53:1, “Who has believed our report? And to whom is the arm of the Lord revealed?”
Suddenly it dawned on me, did I understand what Christ had done for me? Could I believe in the midst of this dark, cold, dreary Siberian landscape that two thousand years ago this Jesus was wounded for me? As I laid there I considered the tremendous price paid for me, and realized that I had ignorantly overlooked Isaiah’s report.
My bible slipped from my hand and I started to fall asleep. At that moment I remember the strength of God infusing my soul and I KNEW that I was healed. The next morning every ache, chill and pain had vanished from my body. Total healing had returned by no power of my own, but by simply believing the report!
