Divine healing is always the will of God for every person, everywhere. However, in order to receive it, we must understand something of importance. Healing doesn’t just randomly drop out of the sky. There is a system of divine order with which we receive from God. If we’re going to receive healing, it is essential to know how this system works. As I was praying one day, these four words came to me repeatedly. I believe these four words are critical for anyone who desires to

When people pray for healing, they tend to look up and expect answers and power to come from the third Heaven, the place where God dwells. However, healing power does not actually come down from Heaven. God’s healing power is found in every believer right now!

One of the most important things to understand about divine healing is that you will never receive it without getting in agreement with God. Receiving divine healing requires your cooperation in two main areas. You must believe God’s Word, and you must speak God’s Word on a continual basis. Proverbs 18:21 tells us, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

You cannot expect to receive anything from God if you continually disagree with God. Proverbs 18:21 tells us, “Death and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruit.”

Satan doesn’t want anyone to receive healing or live in divine health. Therefore, we must become aware of his strategies, and we must learn how to step over any obstacles. There is almost always a fight to hold on to your faith for healing. For instance, look at the woman with the issue of blood. She had many obstacles to overcome before she received her healing.

In the Greek, a stronghold is a fortress or castle with thick, impenetrable walls. Strongholds of the mind are places where a particular thought has repeatedly been pondered and accepted, and now forms a fortress of belief that is strongly defended. Every Christian has a stronghold in some area of their thinking but may be unaware of it. And although these areas are hazardous to our lives, people will often defend them in order to hold on to them.

Jesus not only paid the price for our physical bodies to be healed. He also paid the price for our minds to be whole and to be at peace. Peace is one of the most precious commodities on the planet. Peace is everything! However, true, lasting peace can only be attained one way—through Jesus Christ.

One of the most important skills you must learn in order to effectively live free from anxiety, depression, or anything else of the devil, is how to take control of your thoughts. This practice starts with reading and meditating on God’s Word daily. We must know the truth in order to silence the lies of the enemy!

Many have struggled with anxiety and depression for a long time and wonder if there is any hope for them. I want you to know that there absolutely is hope to overcome mental oppression. Jesus not only paid the price for the complete and total healing of our bodies. He also paid the price for the peace of our minds.

One of the first things we will have to master if we’re going to receive healing is fear. Fear will keep us from receiving from God. But God has provided us with faith through His Word so that we don’t ever have to fear again. The next time you are tempted to fear, speak to it. Say, “Fear, you must go from me now, in Jesus’ name. I refuse to fear.”

Many people have said, “I’ve prayed and taken a stand for my healing, but things got worse instead of better!” I want to share with you how to handle a situation like this.

When it comes to healing, I’m so glad God has higher thoughts than men do! His thought is that He has made forgiveness and healing EASY! Jesus said it was easy to heal a paralytic. There are few things that seem more impossible than a paralytic getting up and walking away completely healed. But remember that Jeremiah said there is nothing too difficult for God!

Jesus bore our sicknesses! From God’s perspective, we are legally healed. It is a finished work. Now, if we’re healed, what do we do when symptoms of disease are raging in our bodies, shouting at us that we are not healed? WE KEEP OUR EYES ON JESUS!

Many don’t understand that the battle’s already been won by God. So they mistakenly think they must win it by praying long and hard enough. Prayer is important, but it’s never our struggling in prayer that earns health and healing from God. The main work of the believer is the work of believing—the work of faith.

When it comes to YOUR health, YOU are the one authorized to enforce Satan’s defeat. You could believe the Word of God on the subject of healing, and even believe you receive YOUR healing. But until you learn to stand your ground and expel sickness, the devil will illegally try to put things on you that don’t belong to you.

Just as Abraham did, we too will become fully convinced that we are healed if we will agree with God and say what God says continually. Don’t say it like you see it in the natural. Say what God says, and you will have your healing!

“I’ve prayed and prayed, and I am still not getting any better.” This is the heart cry of millions of people who desire to be healed yet have still failed to receive as they should. Why is this the case?

Some have argued over the centuries that healing has been done away with and is no longer available. But I have a question for you today: Have you ever heard of faith being done away with? No, of course not! Faith has absolutely not been done away with. There is a faith that will heal your body every time. It’s the God kind of faith! Jesus is the One who introduced us to this kind of faith, and He also said that we were capable of having it ourselves.

Because until you really understand the reality of your redemption in Christ, not just as a doctrine or philosophy of some kind, you will not be able to live in health. The blood of Jesus has redeemed you from the authority of Satan! By receiving Jesus as our Lord, we were translated out of the authority of Satan and into the Kingdom of God.

If the Word does not depart from before your eyes, you are bound to see yourself without sickness or disease. You will see yourself well. If, however, you do not imagine yourself as without sickness, then that Word has departed from before your eyes. And even though God wants to make health a reality in your life, He cannot, because you are not keeping His Word in the midst of your heart.
