Healing Promises (5 page)

Now I am no longer in the world, but these are in the
world, and I come to You. Holy Father, keep through
Your name those whom You have given Me, that they
may be one as We are… They are not of the world,
just as I am not of the world.

—J
OHN 17:11, 16

Protected In The Secret Place Of The Most High

When there were plagues and pestilences all over ancient Egypt because Pharaoh refused to let God’s people go, look at what God said about the children of Israel: “…I will set apart the land of Goshen, in which My people dwell…I will make a difference between My people and your people…” The Bible records that although Egypt was plagued by swarms of flies and other pestilences, the Israelites were safe in Goshen, completely untouched by the troubles!

Don’t be afraid when you hear or read of terrible diseases in the world. As God’s beloved child, you are in the world, but not
of
the world. And as the children of Israel were kept safe and protected in Goshen, so will the Lord keep you safe in the secret place of the Most High.

Do not be afraid of the terrors of the night, nor
the arrow that flies in the day. Do not dread the
disease that stalks in darkness, nor the disaster
that strikes at midday. Though a thousand fall
at your side, though ten thousand are dying
around you, these evils will not touch you.

—P
SALM 91:5–7, NLT

DO NOT

BE AFRAID.

There is NO disease

or terror that

JESUS

has not taken on and

DEFEATED FOR

YOU.

For you did not receive a spirit that makes you a
slave again to fear, but you received the Spirit of
sonship. And by Him we cry, “Abba, Father.”

—R
OMANS 8:15, NIV

There is no fear in love; but perfect love casts out
fear, because fear involves torment. But he who
fears has not been made perfect in love.

OHN 4:18

His Perfect Love Drives Out Every Fear

If you think that God is mad at you or that He is out to punish you, how can you have faith that He hears your prayer for healing? How can you believe Him for your miracle?

Yet, the truth is that God loves you so much that He gave you Jesus, heaven’s best, so that you will NEVER be cut-off from Him no matter what you’ve done or not done. Jesus went to the cross for you so that God will always be with you and for you, to heal you and do
good
to you.

When you have a deep revelation of how much God loves you, you can’t remain sick for long. You won’t be afraid that He may be keeping His healing power from you. Keep feeding on His perfect love for you. Keep meditating on it. It’s the sure antidote to fear!

For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to
serve, and to give His life
a ransom for many.

—M
ARK 10:45

When the sun was setting, all those who had any
that were sick with various diseases brought them
to Him; and He laid His hands on every one of
them and healed them.

UKE 4:40

God Wants You To Draw From Him

Did you know that
giving
to you actually brings joy to God’s heart? When you place a demand on Him—like look to Him to heal you—you let Him be God. When you draw from His fullness—His abundance of life, health and blessing—you delight Him!

That’s why God wants you to come expectantly to Him for your healing today. See Him ready to pour His abundance out for you. See Him rejoicing when you call upon Him. As you see His heart of love that always wants to give to you, you will see your healing manifest!

Jesus replied, “If you only knew the gift God
has for you and who you are speaking to, you
would ask Me, and I would give you living
water…But those who drink the water I give
will never be thirsty again. It becomes
a fresh, bubbling spring within them,
giving them eternal life.”

—J
OHN 4:10, 14, NLT

For the Lord God is a sun and shield;
the Lord will give grace and glory;
no good thing will He withhold
from those who walk uprightly.

—P
SALM 84:11

God Wants To Pour Healing Into You

Come to God for your healing. Don’t hesitate. God, who is so full of goodness and supply, is always willing to bless, preserve, heal and restore you.

Jesus was physically weary when He ministered to the Samaritan woman at the well. Yet, He invited her to draw from Him the living water that would never run dry. When she went away, full in her heart and rejoicing,
He
was strengthened, refreshed and rejuvenated!

Beloved, when you come empty and draw from God, the One who has endless supply, you honor Him and let Him be God. You free Him to pour His abundant supply of health, wholeness and peace into your life!
