Week 9: Healing

Good day madam!

Just to continue on the topic of "healing".... Last week, we looked at the Hebrew characters of the word "Heal" or "RAPHA" in Hebrew and its pictorial meaning.

 Basically, it is broken down to 3 character "think, speak, sacrifice." This is interpreted as"think and speak on the sacrifice of Jesus Christ, our Lord."

This is a POWERFUL truth! Meditate on this. While we are not despising the work of doctors & the medical research (they are on the same side with us against disease & sickness), it is in the heart of our Creator that we are free from sickness and disease!

Think about it this way,the Bible says in , 1 Corinthians 12:27 "Now you are the body of Christ, and members individually."

We are the body of Christ. Each one of us and together we formed the Church. If we are in Him, and He is in us, we can't be walking in sickness all the days of our life! How could we?Can you imagine a church formed with many sickness people? How does that glorified our God who created the heaven & earth ? Are we saying that He is not capable of treating these dieases despite His ability to create the entire universe?? Not making sense, does it? When Jesus was resurrected and raised to heaven, He did not say:" Bye bye ,everyone, good luck .. all the best.. see you in heaven!" He said in John 16:7 "Nevertheless I tell you the truth. It is to your advantage that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send Him to you."


Let's look at who is the receiver of healing in the bible? If you read the gospels, you will notice that the disciples do not come to Jesus for healing. The healing were largely extended to people who are not His disciples Therefore, in the same likeness, we as Christians should be walking in good health and going out to heal the sick . As a body of Christ, as He is, so are we. Is Jesus sickly or feel sick during His ministry on earth?? Or is He in excellent health? As He is, so are we! We are in one body of Christ!

Of course, I'm not saying we should reframe from seeing doctors... As much as doctors are on our side, let's deal with the root of the problem. Let's deal with the root in Jesus's name.

Remember the sermon on "The root of the problem is condemnation."

In John 3:16

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life. 

Note the following verse, verse 17" For God did not send His Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world through Him might be saved." Every condemnation can be redeemed through Christ. In other words, every unforgiveness of oneself or others can be released through the power by proclaiming the name of Jesus! Amen!


So how do we do this? How are we able to walk in good health as a body of Christ? Well, simply speaking in tongue & Holy communion.

Will share more on this topic next week.

Shalom!
