JESUS CHRIST THE HEALER.

 But he was pierced for our transgressions, he was crushed for our iniquities; the punishment that brought us peace was on him, and by his wounds we are healed (see Isaiah 53:5).

God has not come to smite us with diseases, he hasn't come to deprive us of good health. But it's very unfortunate why many Believers of Jesus Christ end up with diverse health issues. But I must tell you that you cannot receive healing and stay healthy, if you don't acknowledge God and know what he is like, if you don't know what he's like at work and if you don't know his will. Acknowledging God, and knowing what he is like, is very important. Many of us Know God, but very few acknowledge God. You cannot receive from God, if you don't acknowledge him, there's a difference of knowing God in the sense of knowing him, and acknowledging him. Many of you know God, but the question is, do you acknowledge him. If you cannot accept or admit the existence or truth of God, or recognize the fact or importance or quality of him, you will never receive anything whatsoever from him. Now, the questions are, who is this God I must acknowledge, know what he's like, know his will, and know how he operate before I receive. The answer to those questions above is Jesus. Health and healing comes through Jesus only, not your pastors, prophets, apostles, teachers, and evangelist. Not even science, your doctors, your diabolic acts, or anything and anyone. Healing comes through Jesus. Only in and through Jesus is healing found (see Isah 53:5, 2nd Cor 11:24, Mal 4:2 and Obadiah 1:17). Now listen, if you can see, acknowledge, and identify Jesus the healer in your apostles, prophets, pastors, teachers and evangelist then you will be healed. One of the reason why looking up to Jesus is important is because in him dwell all the fulness of the Godhead bodily (Col 2:9). Healing is present in the presence of Jesus, not your pastor, or anybody, it's important you get this. When we accept Jehovah Rapha, healing comes. Exodus 15:25 is the principle of healing. The tree signifies the cross, which point to Jesus on the cross , and the water represents the people prophetically. So when Jesus is in you, healing spring forth. And it's impossible to see the Lord without the cross. Healing is God's will, it's good, and it's God's will. God doesn't cause diseases, he heals diseases because sickness is an oppression from the devil, which means he's behind all diseases and sickness and all sorts of evil things present in the world. In other words, sickness, diseases, troubles, disasters and war of all kinds are as a result of the fall of man, not the doing of Jesus. I must tell you that God is not the originator of diseases and sickness, he doesn't chastise you with it because he is a good God. Seriously, what type of Father would harm his child just to teach that child a lesson. If you can't do it, God can't. It's important you know that Jesus is a good God, everything he does is good, not evil (see Act 10:38 and Ps 25:8). If we must receive from God, we must know that he's a good God. "Oh, taste and see that the Lord is good! Blessed is the man who takes refuge in him"!(see Ps 34:8). I want you to listen to this, sickness has nothing to do with suffering for the Lord, suffering for the Lord has to do with persecution, not diseases or sickness (see 2nd Tim 2:12 and Gal 5:11). It is important you get that, so you won't try to comfort yourself that your sickness is you suffering for the Lord, which is not. Now that we have discussed about Jesus and his goodness, let discuss how we can receive healing from him. Alot of us don't know how to access the already given healing from Jesus. Now listen, if we must access the already given healing from him, one, we must learn how to surrender our will to the will of Jesus and believe absolutely that he is able to do far more abundantly, than what we can ever ask or think, or even imagine (see Eph 3:20), just like the leper in Matt 8:2-3 if we must be healed, this is how to receive healing from Jesus. Many believe in Jesus, but few believe he is able. And believing he is able, is the key to healing. Two, we must believe the words and promises of Jesus, just like the centurion (see Matt 8:8). We must understand that in believing the words and promises of Jesus, we must first see the Lord as our only healer, like that woman with the issue of blood in Mark 5:28, and believe in his word. Because if we don't see the Lord as our only healer, all what we get from the scriptures are just motivations, not healing. In addition, we must be able to see and believe Jesus in his word and promises, just like the centurion. And finally, walk by Faith, and not by sight (see 2nd Corinth 5:7) like Jesus, when going to jairus house, in Mark 5:36. Although, Jairus daughter was already dead, but Jesus refused to listen to what the world said, and choose to believe and listen to his Father. And walking by Faith is not walking in an idea, or feeling, it's not mental, neither is it emotional, it is believing and standing on the word and promises of GOD, despite the conditions around you. "Do not fear, just only believe"( see Mark 5:36). All things, not something, but all things are possible to him who believe (see Mark 9:23).  If you diligently practice what you just read, then healing will be your daily bread. I pray for you, by the authority of the Spirit, in the name of Jesus, that what you just read, will reveal Jesus the healer more to you, and that whosoever is sick or diseased or oppressed among you is healed, according to the prayer of faith (see James 5:14), which is the word of God.
