In some churches people are taught how to pray for the sick, but most of the sick don't know how to receive their healing. It's terrible to be sick and not know how to get healed. It's the simplest thing in the world for you to be healed: just obey the Scriptures and show God respect for His Word. It says, He sent his word, and healed them (Ps. 107:20). Because the Lord has given me a healing ministry, He has dealt with me to share about the different phases of healing. There are different ways you can be healed, different things you can do. You need to learn in fine detail what to do by getting God's Word on the inside of you. You can get God's Word inside you by sitting under good Bible teaching, but just going to church services won't heal you. The best church in the world isn't as good as the Gospel according to Matthew, Mark, Luke and John. You have to study the Bible for yourself. You have to look up chapter and verse. Then you have to quote it and claim it. You have to believe it and say, "That's mine—I've got it, in Jesus' name!" When you learn from God's Word what you're supposed to do and that you're obligated to obey it, that Word will work for you every time. Healing works for 7 Divine Healing everyone who obeys Him. Once God's Word is inside you and you start quoting it, God will start performing it. God looks over His Word to perform it. (Jer. 1:12.) He wants you to have whatever you need, but you have to claim it. Unless you get the Word inside you, it'll never come out of you. When you were born again by the Spirit of God, you became a citizen of heaven. As heaven's citizen, you've gained the right to anything heaven offers, just like an American citizen has the right to anything America offers. That means you have a right to healing. All you have to do is claim your rights. As you read these pages about God's healing power, give the Holy Ghost your attention. When it's settled in your spirit once and for all that you can be healed, I guarantee it: you will be healed. 8 1 Your Faith Can Heal You! 1 The best way to receive healing is through your own faith. Your beliefs are based on the way you were taught. Was everything you were taught really true? According to First Corinthians 12:2, Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. The way you believe God today is the way you were led to believe. Think about where you are today. If you were taught according to the Scriptures, then you believe God according to the Scriptures. If you listen to people who listen to God, who know Him and the Bible, you'll find it easier to believe the Bible and you'll be led according to the Scriptures. If your belief is based on the Word, God can easily manifest Himself to you through healing. Base Your Beliefs on God's Word Many people in churches today are ignorant of God's blessings because they've never really been taught about them. Some people think it's "weird" to believe in things like miracles, healing and casting out of devils. But it isn't weird—it's scriptural! If you're sick and God heals you, it's not weird—it's a blessing based on the Bible. But you've got to find out what the Lord Jesus said and start obeying Him. Show God respect for His Word, and He will heal you. 9 Divine Healing Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen (Heb. 11:1). Your faith is your substance and God's Word is your substance. Your faith needs to be based on God's Word. But without faith it is impossible to please him: for he that cometh to God must believe that he is, and that he is a rewarder of them that diligently seek him. Hebrews 11:6 First, you must have faith in what the Bible actually says. The Scriptures cover everything people need: salvation, miracles and healing. Second, you have to diligently seek God by grabbing hold of the Scriptures. Be like a tiger that's crazy with hunger—just refuse to turn loose. Faith as the substance means showing God that you'll do something—right now! Sickness Is Not From God Maybe some kind of serious affliction has come on your body. Maybe you think you're dying. But I want you to realize that you don't have to die. Death is an enemy of God. God doesn't put sickness or disease or any kind of affliction on the human race. No sickness or disease comes from heaven because none can be found there. God is the Boss of heaven, and He doesn't create disease so it can be put on human bodies to cause them heartaches. The real enemy of God—the devil—is the cause of all sickness and disease. It's God's will to heal everybody, and it's God's will to heal you. God's Word is His will. The Bible is God's perfect will for us to live by. But if we don't know what the Bible says, we can't live by it. Humans tend to live by suggestions that come to them 10
