How You Receive Healing Is How You Continue
In the kingdom, everything is by grace through faith. How you receive salvation is how you walk out salvation. The moment when you try to walk it out differently, you are operating outside the kingdom.
Analogous to the salvation of the spirit, healing is also by grace through faith, since it is part of the kingdom. How you receive healing is how you walk in divine health.
Many believers are still waiting for the next healing or miracle service, when Jesus has already served them healing. How? By His stripes. There is no special anointed time for healing unless you think there is. According to your belief, it is done unto you (Matt 9:29).
Disclaimer: Healing service is more for non-believers than for believers. We must empower believers and not feed them.
My bible tells me that He took our sickness and bore our diseases 2000 years ago, so that by His stripes, we were healed (Isa 53:4-5; 1 Peter 2:24). 𝐈𝐟 𝐰𝐞 𝐝𝐨𝐧'𝐭 𝐥𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐛𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬, 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐢𝐭 𝐢𝐬 𝐮𝐧𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐭𝐨 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐲 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐝 𝐛𝐲 𝐇𝐢𝐬 𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐩𝐞𝐬, 𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐞𝐢𝐯𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐮𝐞.
If you need a man to lay hand on you for healing, by the same token, you need a man to lay hand on you to stay healed. While there is a place to be ministered by others, we must not stay there as infants. We are to grow up unto Him.
In other words, there is a place for us to wrestle through the sickness or pain without going after a shortcut to get healing. Shortcuts in life never do you good. Bodybuilders know this, "No pain, no gain!"
I learnt that if you don't fight the enemy with your identity, he will search out the gaps to crush you. Jesus stood unshakeable, unchanging and unwavering. He remained steadfast and immovable because His eyes were always fixed on the Father. He often 'lifted His eyes to heaven', because He knew that if He could get His answers and perspectives straight from heaven, the devil has no chance to cause Him to stumble.
If you give up, you won't grow up.
