And these signs shall follow them that believe; in My name shall
they cast out devils… they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover
(mark 16:17-18).
The Lord Jesus never exaggerated; He spoke absolute reality. What He said in our opening verse is
something you should consciously demonstrate or prove, knowing that the one who
said, never lied to anyone. You are to
lay hands on the sick to receive healing; you have the ability in the Name of
Jesus.
The Lord Jesus will be remiss to ask you to do something you could
not do, or for which He has not enabled you.
he said in Mat 10:8, ‘Heal the sick, cleanse the lepers, raise the
dead, cast out devils…’ this is
for every believer in Christ; step out in faith and take healing and health to
the people in your world, and in the regions beyond. Someone might however lament, ‘when I pray
for people they get healed, but when I get sick I am not able to help myself.’
Many have found themselves in this dilemma. It is similar to what happened to Elisha who
was so anointed of God, but died sick.
in 2 Kings 13:20-21, some men were about to bury a man when they spotted
some raiders. Hastily, they tossed the
corpse into the sepulcher that contained the remains of Elisha. As soon as the dead body came in contact with
Elisha’s bones, the dead man came back to life (2 Kings 1321). This happened long after Elisha was dead; his
bones retained the anointing!
Though Elisha died sick, God’s power in him did not fail. We can conclude that it was Elisha that did
not apply that power to his health. You are
supposed to apply the same authority Jesus gave you to heal the sick in your
personal life. Christ the Healer lives
in you; acknowledge this reality, and function with this consciousness every
day. when you do, everything that is not
of God: sickness, poverty, death, lack, failure, depression, etc., will have no
hold over you.
Prayer
Dear Father, as I study the Word and meditate on the Spirit, Your
power is activated in me, causing your glory in my spirit to impact my physical
body, producing health, strength, and vitality.
I walk in victory today, and experience success in all I do, in Jesus ‘
Name. Amen.
