The Name of Jesus Belongs to You That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth.-PHILIPPIANS 2:10 The Name of Jesus belongs to us as believers. We have a right to use the Name of Jesus. The right to use Jesus’ Name is a blessing given to the Church, to every child of God. We have a fourfold right to use the Name. First, we’re born into the family of God, and the Name belongs to the family. Second, we’re baptized into the Name. And being baptized into the Name, we’re baptized into Christ Himself. Third, the Name was conferred upon us by Jesus. He gave us the power of authority. And fourth, we’re commissioned as ambassadors to go and herald the Name of Jesus among the nations. We’re representatives of Christ. Now I can’t find in the Bible where it says we need to have any special faith to use the Name of Jesus, because the Name already belongs to us. You don’t need any special faith to get in your car and use it or drive it. You wouldn’t think about saying, “Brother Hagin, I want you to pray for me that I’ll have enough faith to put the key in the ignition of my car and drive it home.” No, you already know that you have the key in your pocket, and you know what to do with it. So you act in faith unconsciously. You see, it takes knowing what is yours. When you come to know that the Name of Jesus is yours and that you have a right to use that Name, you’ll begin to use it as unconsciously as you use the key to start your car and drive it. Confession: I am a child of God, and the Name of Jesus belongs to me. I use the Name of Jesus and the authority He has given me in that Name.

Study the Word But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed.-JAMES 1:25 Many Christians are trying to have faith. They are trying to believe. They meet together in services, each one urging the other to do what he’s not doing himself. They use scriptural expressions and high-sounding phrases that have no meaning to their inner consciousness. One problem is that they are listening to preachers, but they’re not digesting what they’re saying. They are not doing any original thinking on their own. They are not spending time in the study of God’s Word. They are what the Bible calls “hearers of the Word” and not doers. And that’s the reason these people go under when the storms of life come. Jesus said, “Therefore whosoever heareth these sayings of mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon a rock: And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon a rock” (Matt. 7:24-25). Jesus said that the man who built his house on the sand is the man who heard the Word but didn’t do it. But the man who built his house on the rock is the man who heard the Word and did it. So many people are hearers of the Word and not doers. If you’re not a doer of the Word, you don’t have any foundation under you. Smith Wigglesworth made a statement: “If you wait until you need faith to get it, you’re too late.” That’s the reason you need to study the Word for yourself and find out what it says. Confession: I am a doer of the Word and not a hearer only. I spend time studying God’s Word. And I am blessed in every area of my life.

A Testimony Inspires Faith . . . Whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.-PHILIPPIANS 4:8 I remember a woman who was bedfast at the age of thirty-six. She had terminal cancer and was living with her mother so that her mother could take care of her. She was brought up in the Pentecostal church so she knew about divine healing. People all over the country were praying for her. She was on her deathbed, and doctors said she could die just any minute. She was brought to one of my meetings. She listened to my healing testimony, and I laid hands on her. The very next day, this woman was perfectly all right! Instead of an ambulance coming to take her body away, her husband came to her mother’s and took her back home. She was able to do housework and tend to her two small children. This is what she did. She said to her mother, “Well, that man who gave his testimony didn’t lie. He’s a preacher, but God is no respecter of persons. What He did for him, He will do for me. I’m healed now. I won’t need any more medicine. Just throw it away.” She never had any more pain, and all of her symptoms left. She had been on pain medicine for so long that she should have had withdrawal symptoms. But she didn’t; she was perfectly fine. I would never advise anyone to throw medicine away, but my testimony inspired her faith. A good testimony inspires faith. The Word of God gives faith, but sometimes a testimony inspires a person to use his or her faith. Confession: The Word of God gives me faith, and a good testimony will inspire my faith.

Guard Your Heart Keep thy heart with all diligence; for out of it are the issues of life.- PROVERBS 4:23 Proverbs 4:21 says, “Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.” You are to keep God’s Word in your heart. Then Proverbs 4:23 tells you to keep or guard your heart. How do you do that? By keeping the Word in your heart! How are you going to keep God’s Word in your heart? By meditating on God’s Word continually. In other words, think deeply about it until it becomes a part of your inner conscience. Don’t just memorize scriptures and forget them. You can memorize scriptures and say them by rote, and they won’t mean a thing in the world to you. Those verses are just in your mind. But, no, think on them until they get down into your heart. Feed on them. It will take a little time to do that. But, eventually, the scriptures will register on your heart. God’s words are life unto you and health, or medicine, to all your flesh. I don’t know about you, but I never see myself sick. I always see myself well. If a need arises-whether it’s healing or anything else-the first thing that pops into my mind is what the Bible says about it. Many people start to panic if something comes along, saying, “Oh, dear Lord, what are we going to do now? What in the world are we going to do now?” They are not guarding their heart when they do that. I tell people all the time, “Know your Bible. If you can’t find it in the Bible, don’t accept it. Don’t let it get into your heart. I don’t want your faith to be in what I or another preacher says. I want your faith to be in what God’s Word says. The Word does not fail.” Confession: Father, I will attend to Your Word. I will put Your Word first. I will incline my ear unto Your sayings. I will not let those words depart from before my eyes. I will keep them in the midst of my heart. I will walk in health and healing. I will walk in the life of God.

See Yourself Well and Whole Let them [God’s words] not depart from thine eyes. . . .-PROVERBS 4:21 I shared with this dear old woman, “The doctors said I was dying. I lived and relived my death over and over in my mind. In my mind’s eye, I saw the doctors turn my body over to the undertaker to prepare it for burial. I saw them take the casket and go to the church. I saw them roll the casket down the aisle and set it before the pulpit. I heard the people sing the last song and pray the last prayer. I saw them close the lid and roll the casket down the aisle. I saw the pallbearers put it into the hearse. I saw the funeral procession. I saw all of this many times in my mind. I watched as a graveside prayer was said. I saw everyone leave. I saw them put the casket into the ground. I saw the flowers on the fresh mound of dirt. I saw the flowers wither and die. I saw the hot sun of summer beat down on the grave. I saw myself dead. But I got hold of Proverbs 4:21 and began to see myself alive. I asked myself, ‘What would I do if I were up?’ I said, ‘I’d preach. That’s what I’d do.’ So I began to make sermon notes and get ready to preach.” I said to the woman, “See yourself well. See your huge stomach shrunk down to its normal size. See yourself preaching again. See yourself traveling and holding meetings. It doesn’t matter if you are eighty-two years old. God doesn’t want you to die like this. God wants to heal you.” Ten months later, I went back to that church, and that woman was perfectly healed! She was traveling and preaching. Instead of looking eighty-two years old, she didn’t look a day over fifty-five. She said to the pastor and me, “I’m sure glad you didn’t let me die. I just came back from my first meeting since I received my healing. I’m going to preach all summer and the rest of the winter. “I did what you said, Brother Hagin. I began to see myself well. I looked at my huge stomach and saw it flat.” She had kept the Word of God before her eyes. Confession: I see myself well. I see every symptom leaving. I see myself living a normal and healthy life.

Keep the Word Before Your Eyes My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart.- PROVERBS 4:20-21 Back in September 1957, I knew an 82-year-old evangelist who had been bedfast for two years with cancer in her stomach. Doctors couldn’t understand how she had lived even that long. When they opened her body up and saw several malignant growths, they just sewed her back up. They said nothing more could be done. I felt led to read her Proverbs 4:20 through 22. I said to her, “When I was on the bed of sickness, I got hold of these verses and saw one place where I had been missing it.” I continued, “Proverbs 4:21 says not to let the Word depart from before your eyes. And this was a turning point for me. You see, I had seen myself dead. And when I got hold of this scripture and put the Word of God before my eyes, I began to see myself alive. I began to see myself doing things I’d never done before.” So I shared with that dear woman, “Every time you look at that stomach that’s so huge, see it down flat. See yourself preaching again. God doesn’t want you to die like this. You can die if you want to. But let God heal you first and then die. Don’t die like this. He won’t get any glory out of that.” Confession: I keep the Word of God before my eyes and my ears. God’s Word is true. His Word is life unto my spirit.

Incline Your Ear . . . I [God] will take sickness away from the midst of thee.-EXODUS 23:25 In Proverbs 4:20, we find that in addition to attending to God’s words, we are supposed to incline our ear unto His sayings. It’s strange, but we often incline our ears to what everyone else is saying, rather than to what God is saying. One time I was laying hands on the sick in a healing line. I came to a woman and asked, “What did you come for?” She said, “I guess I came for healing.” “What’s wrong with you?” I asked. “The doctor said I have an incurable disease,” she answered. “Well,” I said, “isn’t it wonderful that you and I have inside information! We have information inside the Bible. Himself took your infirmities and bare your sickness. The Lord will heal you.” She said, “Yes, but the doctor said it was incurable. I don’t think I’ll get anything.” You see, she was not inclining her ear to what God said. She was inclining her ear to what the doctor said. She needed to listen to God’s sayings, and He said, “. . . I will take sickness away from the midst of thee.” (Exod. 23:25). Confession: I incline my ear to God’s sayings. I listen to what He said. And He said that He would take sickness away from me.

Don’t Neglect the Word My son, attend to my words; incline thine ear unto my sayings. Let them not depart from thine eyes; keep them in the midst of thine heart. For they are life unto those that find them, and health to all their flesh.-PROVERBS 4:20-22 When God said, “Attend to My words,” He meant to put everything else out and put His Word in. Put His Word first, above everything else! We need to ask ourselves the question, “What does God’s Word say?” Many times we pray without asking ourselves, “What does God’s Word say on the subject?” I think we endeavor to receive just through prayer what God’s Word offers. But sometimes it doesn’t come through prayer. In other words, if we are going to neglect the Word, prayer won’t work. So find out what God’s Word has to say about your situation, and it will change your prayer life! It’s amazing how many prayers you’ll have to throw away when you find out what God’s Word says about your situation. People will turn in the most outlandish prayer requests you have ever heard in your life! That’s the reason when people come to me and say, “Brother Hagin, I want you to pray for me,” I always say, “What for?” Why do I say that? Because I’ve found out that many times the Bible already answers their need without their even praying about it. They already have their answer. They just need to accept what the Bible says about it. Confession: I attend to God’s Word. I put it first place in my life. I find out what God’s Word says about my situation and I believe that. I accept what the Bible says about my situation as truth!

God Confirms the Word . . . In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues. -MARK 16:17 We need to know what our rights are. We need to know what belongs to us. Healing is our Gospel right. It is our redemptive right. It is our family right, because we’re in the family of God. Our right to healing, which was given to us in God’s plan of redemption, has been invested in the authority of Jesus’ Name. Jesus said, “. . . IN MY NAME shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues” (Mark 16:17). God watches over His Word to perform it (Jer. 1:12). Mark 16:20 says, “And they went forth, and preached every where, the Lord working with them, and CONFIRMING THE WORD with signs following. Amen.” As we go forth to preach and teach, is the Lord with us? Someone might say, “Yes, He’s working with us to save people.” Well, thank God He is. But that’s not what the Bible says. It says that God works with us confirming the Word with signs following. What are the signs that follow? They are the signs Jesus was talking about in Mark chapter 16. They include casting out devils in His Name, speaking with new tongues, and taking up serpents (if you are accidentally bitten by a snake, it won’t hurt you). There is also another meaning of “taking up serpents.” We see an example of this in Luke chapter 10 where we can read that Jesus appointed seventy disciples (see verses 1 through 20). Devils and demons were subject to them through the Name of Jesus. And devils and demons are subject to us in that Name. Confession: The signs Jesus talked about in Mark 16 follow me! I can speak with new tongues. I can exercise authority over devils and demons. And I can lay hands on the sick, and they’ll recover.

Don’t Give Up! But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.- MATTHEW 24:13 I remember hearing about the man who brought in the first oil well to east Texas. (At one time, east Texas had the biggest oil field in the world.) He had made a million dollars and then lost it. This man decided to drill another well. But the people who were financing it tried to get him to shut it down, because he had used up all the money. His fortune was gone. He had borrowed everything he could from the bankers. He owed everyone! But he said, “I’m not going to quit.” He kept telling his men to keep drilling. They were just about to quit because he hadn’t paid them when they hit a gusher! They tapped right into the edge of a great lake of oil. This time, instead of losing all of his money, he was wise and ended up saving his millions. What if that man had quit? What if he had listened to what everyone was telling him? His financial advisors-men in the oil business-had been trying to get him to quit. They told him, “There’s no oil there.” But he just kept saying to his men, “Keep drilling. It’s there. I know it’s there.” And he eventually tapped into it because he was persistent. Confession: I refuse to give up; I refuse to quit. I know that health and healing belong to me. I continue to meditate on and speak the promises of God. And I will see the manifestation in my body.

Don’t Give Up! But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.- MATTHEW 24:13 I remember hearing about the man who brought in the first oil well to east Texas. (At one time, east Texas had the biggest oil field in the world.) He had made a million dollars and then lost it. This man decided to drill another well. But the people who were financing it tried to get him to shut it down, because he had used up all the money. His fortune was gone. He had borrowed everything he could from the bankers. He owed everyone! But he said, “I’m not going to quit.” He kept telling his men to keep drilling. They were just about to quit because he hadn’t paid them when they hit a gusher! They tapped right into the edge of a great lake of oil. This time, instead of losing all of his money, he was wise and ended up saving his millions. What if that man had quit? What if he had listened to what everyone was telling him? His financial advisors-men in the oil business-had been trying to get him to quit. They told him, “There’s no oil there.” But he just kept saying to his men, “Keep drilling. It’s there. I know it’s there.” And he eventually tapped into it because he was persistent. Confession: I refuse to give up; I refuse to quit. I know that health and healing belong to me. I continue to meditate on and speak the promises of God. And I will see the manifestation in my body.

Healing Is the Dinner Bell And they departed, and went through the towns, preaching the gospel, and healing every where.-LUKE 9:6 As a young pastor, just before my twenty-fourth birthday, I remember hearing Rev. Raymond T. Richey (a man who was used mightily by God in the area of healing) say, “Divine healing is the dinner bell.” I knew exactly what he meant when he said that. At that time people living out in the country had a big bell on their back porch, and when dinner was ready, someone would ring the bell to let everyone in the fields know it was time to eat. When I heard Rev. Richey say that, I wasn’t having healing services at my church on a regular basis. But I said to myself, “I’m going back home, and I’m going to start ringing the dinner bell.” We had Wednesday night, Saturday night, Sunday morning, and Sunday night services. I told the congregation, “Every Saturday night is divine healing night. I’m not going to preach on anything but divine healing.” So I started ringing the dinner bell. Initially, the crowd on Saturday night became smaller, and, as far as I could ascertain, no one was getting healed. I would anoint them with oil and lay hands on them. I would have a healing line every Saturday night. Still, no one was getting healed. But I kept on ringing the dinner bell! Finally, after six months, things started happening. People started getting healed. I didn’t understand it then, but I know now that when I first began teaching on healing, I was planting seed. I had to keep watering that seed, and that takes time. I could have become discouraged and stopped holding healing services. Or I could have resigned the church and left. But when the harvest came, I wouldn’t have been there to enjoy it. Confession: I plant the seed of God’s Word in my heart. And I continue to water that seed. Eventually, I will see a harvest of health and healing.

Signs Will Follow You And these signs shall follow them that believe. . . .-MARK 16:17 People everywhere have clung to the first part of the Great Commission: “And he [Jesus] said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall be damned” (Mark 16:15-16). Why have people clung to the first part? They knew how to use that part to believe and be saved-to receive salvation, and the remission of sin. But many people have turned away from the rest of the Great Commission because they didn’t know how to use it. Verse 17 says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues.” One man said to me, “Now that can’t be so. I’m just as saved as you are, and none of those signs follow me.” I said, “It didn’t say that the signs would follow them that don’t believe. It said that the signs would follow them that believe. You just finished saying that you don’t believe.” He said, “I don’t.” I said, “Then why would you expect any signs to follow you? You have to believe what God said first and then the signs will follow you.” Provision for man’s healing is also found in this Great Commission. Let’s continue reading. Verse 18 says, “They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; THEY SHALL LAY HANDS ON THE SICK, AND THEY SHALL RECOVER.” This is another sign that follows those who believe. Confession: I am a believer, not a doubter. Signs, such as speaking with tongues and laying hands on the sick and seeing them recover, follow me.

Jesus is about to depart and be with the Father, and His disciples are going to take His place in the earth. They are going to be His representatives and continue His ministry-to do what He would do if He were there. Jesus gave the Great Commission to herald the Good News to a world for whom He died. He revealed that the twofold ministry would continue. First, the Commission was given to meet the spiritual need of man. Jesus said, “He that believeth and is baptized shall be saved . . . ” (Mark 16:16). Second, Mark 16:17 says, “And these signs shall follow them that believe. . . .” The Greek word for “believe” in verse 17 is the same word that you’ll find in verse 16. Both promises stem from the simple term “believing.” The act of believing brings one into the family of God. And then, the rich cluster of miraculous promises that follow also belongs to them who believe-or, as the Greek says, to “the believing ones.” Confession: I believe and am saved. And signs follow me because I am a believing one. I cast out devils in Jesus’ Name. I speak with new tongues. I lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.

The Word Will Change Your Circumstances He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.-PSALM 107:20 A pastor friend of mine once said to the Lord, “Lord, You know I believe in divine healing, but no one in my church is receiving. What’s the matter?” The Lord said to him, “Why don’t you preach on it?” So he started preaching on divine healing, and his whole church got healed. Before, nearly all of them were sick. But they all got healed. That’s what happens when the Word of God is preached. The Word of God is what does the work. We are affected by the words we hear-whether it’s truth or untruth. You could listen to someone talk who is worried and oppressed. And when you left his presence, you’d feel oppressed yourself. Some people are so full of doubt and unbelief that the very atmosphere around them is charged with darkness. That kind of atmosphere is created by words. Thank God for the Word of God! His Word is His will. Psalm 107:20 says, “He sent his word, and healed them, and delivered them from their destructions.” Let’s talk about the Word of God. Let’s talk about healing from the standpoint of God’s Word. Confession: I speak the Word of God. I speak faith-filled, life-filled words that change the circumstances around me. I refuse to speak doubt and unbelief.

Jesus Was Made Sick With Your Sickness Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin . . .-ISAIAH 53:10 God not only laid our iniquities upon Jesus, but our diseases as well. Settle that in your heart. Jesus was made sick with our diseases. He was made sin for our sins. In the mind of our Father God and in the mind of Jesus, our diseases and sins were borne by the Lord Jesus Christ. And if they were borne by Him, then it’s wrong for us to bear them. I’ve seen this simple truth get down into the hearts of terminally ill people. The best doctors of medical science said that they would die. But after twenty- five years, they are still alive! So how did this simple truth get down into their hearts? They accepted it as truth. They meditated on it. They spoke it over and over to themselves until it registered on the inside of them. Through the ministry of Christ upon the earth, God our Father revealed that it was His will to heal man physically. In redemption, God broke the power of disease over man and set him free by laying disease and sickness upon Christ. Confession: Because my disease and sickness were laid upon Christ, I am healed and free. I accept as truth that Jesus bore my disease and sickness. And I confess that I am healed and made whole.

A Complete Redemption For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.-ROMANS 5:17 Let’s continue reading in Romans chapter 5. “Therefore as by the offence of one judgment came upon all men to condemnation; even so by the righteousness of one the free gift came upon all men unto justification of life. For as by one man’s disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Moreover the law entered, that the offence might abound. But where sin abounded, grace did much more abound: That as sin hath reigned unto death, even so might grace reign through righteousness unto eternal life by Jesus Christ our Lord” (Rom. 5:18-21). If man’s redemption from spiritual death (and that’s what these verses in Romans chapter 5 are talking about) is to be a complete redemption, it must be a redemption from disease as well as from sin. God has clearly shown us in His Word that He has made provision for the healing of man’s body. In Isaiah chapter 53, God lifts the curtain, so to speak, and lets us see Him dealing with sin and sickness. Verses 4 and 5 say, “Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted. But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.” The words griefs and sorrows are better translated “sickness” and “disease.” God’s great plan of redemption not only took care of man’s sin; it also took care of man’s sickness and disease. Confession: Jesus bore my sickness and disease and purchased healing for me in His death, burial, and resurrection so that I could enjoy health and healing. Jesus consummated God’s great plan of redemption so that I could be free-spirit, soul, and body.

You Can Rule and Reign But not as the offence, so also is the free gift. For if through the offence of one many be dead, much more the grace of God, and the gift by grace, which is by one man, Jesus Christ, hath abounded unto many.-ROMANS 5:15 Romans 5:17 says, “For if by one man’s offence death reigned by one; much more they which receive abundance of grace and of the gift of righteousness shall reign in life by one, Jesus Christ.” Where do we reign? We reign in life! Instead of Satan, spiritual death, sickness, disease, and poverty reigning over us, we reign over them! The Amplified Bible says, “For if because of one man’s trespass (lapse, offense) death reigned through that one, much more surely will those who receive [God’s] overflowing grace (unmerited favor) and the free gift of righteousness [putting them into right standing with Himself] reign as kings in life through the one Man Jesus Christ (the Messiah, the Anointed One).” Notice the phrase, “reign as kings in life.” Do you know anyone who is doing that? Well, every child of God should rule and reign. In Bible times, the king was the ruler of a country. He ruled and reigned. He dominated a country; it was his domain. So what is Romans 5:17 saying to us? Instead of Satan and spiritual death dominating us, we reign in life by Christ Jesus. We rule as kings. Instead of circumstances dominating us, we dominate circumstances. Instead of disease and sickness dominating us, we get into the Bible and find out what already belongs to us. We rule over disease and sickness. Confession: I rule and reign as a king in my domain in this life. I rule over Satan. I rule over circumstances. I rule over disease and sickness.

Thou Art Loosed And when Jesus saw her, he called her to him, and said unto her, Woman, thou art loosed from thine infirmity.-LUKE 13:12 There are several scriptural references in which Christ’s attitude toward disease is clearly shown. I think one of the best is in Luke chapter 13. Jesus loosed a woman from a spirit of infirmity on the Sabbath day. She’d had the disease for eighteen years. The rulers of the synagogue criticized Jesus for healing the woman on the Sabbath. He answered, “And ought not this woman, being a daughter of Abraham, WHOM SATAN HATH BOUND, lo, these eighteen years, be loosed from this bond on the sabbath day?” (v. 16). Jesus clearly stated that Satan was the cause of the infirmity that had bound her physical body. Another instance is found in Mark chapter 2. A man with the palsy was brought to Jesus, and Jesus said, “. . . Son, thy sins be forgiven thee” (v. 5). When the scribes questioned the statement Jesus made, He answered them with this: “Whether is it easier to say to the sick of the palsy, Thy sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Arise, and take up thy bed, and walk?” (v. 9). In other words, Jesus was saying, “Which is easier? To forgive sins, which are the result of spiritual death in man’s spirit, or to heal the disease of his physical body, which is the result of the same spiritual death?” In either case, Jesus was dealing with the bondage of man to Satan. Sickness is bondage; it’s oppression. Jesus Christ came to set man free. Confession: I know that sickness is bondage. It comes from Satan. It doesn’t come from God. Healing comes from God.

Jesus Revealed the Will of God For I came down from heaven, not to do mine own will, but the will of him that sent me.-JOHN 6:38 Throughout His ministry, Jesus delivered those who were oppressed by Satan. Acts 10:38 says, “How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.” Who was it that Jesus healed? He healed all. Where did their sickness come from? It was the oppression of the devil. Matthew 8:16 and 17 says, “When the even was come, they brought unto him many that were possessed with devils: and he cast out the spirits with his word, and healed all that were sick: That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by Esaias the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses.” Mark 1:32-34 says, “And at even, when the sun did set, they brought unto him all that were diseased, and them that were possessed with devils. And all the city was gathered together at the door. And he healed many that were sick of divers diseases, and cast out many devils; and suffered not the devils to speak, because they knew him.” Jesus was the will of God revealed to man. And He revealed that it was God’s will to break the power of sickness and disease over man’s body and to set him free from pain and suffering. Christ’s ministry proclaimed healing and blessing to the physical side of man’s nature as well as to the spiritual side. Confession: Jesus is the will of God revealed to man. Jesus healed all those who were oppressed by the devil. Therefore, it is God’s will that I be healed, whole, and well.

Christ Is the Will of God in Action I [Jesus] can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.-JOHN 5:30 Christ is the expression of God’s will. People sometimes say, “I don’t know what God’s will is.” Well, Jesus is the will of God. I like to say it this way: Christ is the will of God in action. If you want to see God at work, look at Jesus. If you want to hear God talk, listen to Jesus. There’s no better way of ascertaining the proper answer to, “Is it God’s will to heal me?” than by reading the Gospels. They record the teachings and works of Christ. You see, when Jesus healed the multitudes that thronged Him day after day, we see the Father revealing His will. We see God at work. When Jesus laid hands on everyone and healed them, He was doing and revealing the will of God for our bodies. One time I was reading a report by some theologians of the Episcopal Church. They had appointed a commission to study the subject of divine healing and to report back to them. After three years of study and research in both the Bible and history, their report concluded, in effect, “The healing of the sick by Jesus was done as a revelation of God’s will for man. No longer should the Church pray for the sick with the faith-destroying qualification, ‘If it be Thy will.’” The message taught throughout the Gospels is one of complete healing for the spirit, soul, and body of men. Confession: To discover healing as the will of God for me, I look at Jesus in the Gospels. He revealed the Father’s will. He healed those who were sick. Therefore, I know that it is God’s will that I be healthy and whole.

People sometimes say, “I don’t know what God’s will is.” Well, Jesus is the will of God. I like to say it this way: Christ is the will of God in action. If you want to see God at work, look at Jesus. If you want to hear God talk, listen to Jesus. There’s no better way of ascertaining the proper answer to, “Is it God’s will to heal me?” than by reading the Gospels. They record the teachings and works of Christ. You see, when Jesus healed the multitudes that thronged Him day after day, we see the Father revealing His will. We see God at work. When Jesus laid hands on everyone and healed them, He was doing and revealing the will of God for our bodies. One time I was reading a report by some theologians of the Episcopal Church. They had appointed a commission to study the subject of divine healing and to report back to them. After three years of study and research in both the Bible and history, their report concluded, in effect, “The healing of the sick by Jesus was done as a revelation of God’s will for man. No longer should the Church pray for the sick with the faith-destroying qualification, ‘If it be Thy will.’” The message taught throughout the Gospels is one of complete healing for the spirit, soul, and body of men. Confession: To discover healing as the will of God for me, I look at Jesus in the Gospels. He revealed the Father’s will. He healed those who were sick. Therefore, I know that it is God’s will that I be healthy and whole.

Great message

The Twofold Ministry of Jesus How God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Ghost and with power: who went about doing good, and healing all that were oppressed of the devil; for God was with him.-ACTS 10:38 Almost everyone believes that Jesus healed the sick when He was here on earth. Almost everyone believes that the apostles ministered to the sick. But many also believe that when the last apostle died, all of that ceased. Well, when Jesus was here on earth, His ministry was twofold: (1) to affect the spirits of men and (2) to affect the bodies of men. When He died on the Cross, His death was twofold: (1) bearing our sins and (2) bearing our diseases. It is written, “. . . Himself took our infirmities, and bare our sicknesses” (Matt. 8:17). The same is true today. The twofold ministry of blessing for our spirit and body has continued from the earthly ministry of Christ unto this present day in which you and I live. Christ bore man’s spiritual death that man might have life. And Christ bore man’s diseases that he might have health. God has made provision for man’s salvation and his health. And He has revealed it to us in His Word. Confession: God has made provision for me to be saved and to be healed. I believe His Word and receive salvation and healing.
