Health in Christ
So you shall serve the Lord your God, and He will bless your bread and your water. And I will take sickness away from the midst of you.
Exodus 23:25 - NKJV
Health is God's will for His people! It always has been. In the Old Testament era God's people could walk in health through living in obedient service and by the ministry of healing by His prophet's. In the New Testament era we can walk in health because by Jesus' stripes we were healed! Health is God's gift to us through His Son Jesus Christ. We are the healed. We are the redeemed. 1 Pet.2:24
However, even though this is so, you may still find sickness coming against you! Even though divine health is yours to enjoy, yet you have an adversary who would like to rob you of that gift! So this is a call to arms! At times you are going to have to vigorously defend your health! The healed in Christ - that's you and me - must take fast hold of our gift of health when sickness comes against us. We must take up the weapons of our warfare and defend our health! 2 Cor.10:4
Whenever my health comes under attack I use my weapons. Here's a seven point list: 1) Resort to prayer. The essence of prayer is worship and devotion. In prayer, petition - petition God for healing presenting to Him His promises. 2) Resort to God's word. Speak aloud over your body God's word on healing and health. 3) Resort to the Holy Spirit. Ask God by His Spirit to invigorate your physical body. 4) Resort to the elders. Call for the elders of the church and let them pray over you. 5) Resort to joy and rejoicing. 6) Resort to faith, hope and fortitude. 7) Resort to the Blood - plead it and declare it! Is.53:1,5
Defend your health!
