    Imagine that I am your earthly father. I am extremely rich and, after determining my will on the action, decided to transfer into your bank account a substantial amount of money and assets. This awesome gift is so large that it’s much more than you could ever use in your entire lifetime.

    After making the transfer, I wrote you a letter informing you of what I had done. There were no strings attached to the gift. It was something that I wanted to do simply because I love you.

    Yes, anytime after the transfer, you could do whatever you wanted with the money because it is now yours.

     Imagine further, that even after reading and understanding the letter I sent regarding the gift, you kept asking me for money to pay for essentials like food and rent, etc. Think of how I would feel about that! Wouldn’t it be silly for you to keep asking me for money when I had already given you all that you would ever need and more! Since it is already in your account, YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE OF BUSINESS AND WRITE YOUR OWN CHECKS!

    With the previous little illustration in mind, let’s take a look again at what Jesus did for us concerning sickness. Isaiah 53:5, “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.” Mat. 8:16-17: “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.”.1 Peter 2:24, “Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.”

     Notice in the last verse that the word, “were”, is used representing the past tense of the sentence. Healing has already been given to mankind. It has been paid for through the shedding of the Precious Blood of Jesus.

     God told us in His Word that He has already paid for our healing in full! What this means in practical terms is that our Heavenly Father has ALREADY GIVEN us all the healing our bodies will ever need in this life! Did you get that? He HAS ALREADY GIVEN IT TO US! IT IS IN OUR ACCOUNT NOW!

     Listen, you do not have to pray and ask God for something that is already yours! If He has already given it to you, then why do you ask Him for it again?

     I am convinced that the reason God’s children keep asking Him for physical healing is because they do not REALLY believe He has already given it to them!

     In the last issue of The Road Of Faith, I told you that I would give you some practical nuts and bolts applications for your healing. Here are three vital and practical keys concerning physical healing through faith in God’s Word.

1)       Know, that you know, that you know, healing BELONGS to you! The only way to get there is through consistent meditation in the truth of God’s Word on healing.

2)       Use what you have. Act on the Word. Based on God’s Word, talk to your body. Yes, I said talk to your body! Tell your body that it is healed by the Blood of Jesus!

3)       Order the sickness out of your body in Jesus’ Name! YOU MAKE IT GO! If healing is already yours, ENFORCE IT IN YOUR BODY! No one can do that more effectively than you! Do not allow sickness to stay in you!

     How long? I always say: “As long as it takes!” Never give up! Never let up! Attack the enemy of sickness with the truth of God’s Word.

     Here is another very important practical key to apply: As soon as you sense a problem, attack viciously, with all authority, the harmful germs, viruses, bacteria, and illegal cells at the EARLIEST possible moment! The sooner you do, the better. Get mad! Get stirred up about the attack. Why? Because sickness has no business in your body!

     Dear one, you have to make a strong authoritative stand against sickness or it will just come on in and take its destructive course. You are the one who must take what Father and the Lord Jesus provided and MAKE IT WORK in your life. God won’t do your part for you!

     Notice, I have not even been talking about prayer here. Why pray for something that is already been given to you? God wants YOU TO USE what He placed in your account. Yes, God put physical healing in your account! Since Jesus shed His Precious Blood for your healing, there is more than enough healing power to take care of all the sickness that may come your way! Hallelujah! Bless His Name forever! What a wonderful Savior!

     Whatever you do, don’t make the awful mistake many have made and blame God for lack of healing. Don’t ever allow thoughts that say a sickness might be God’s will for you. God does not make mistakes and did not shed His Blood in vain! It is NEVER His will for sickness to be in your life, and it is NEVER His fault if healing does not come!

     In the light of God’s Word, WE must humbly check up on ourselves to see where WE are missing it! It is false pride to think that we are doing nothing wrong and it is all God’s doing. Our Heavenly Father wants us well and will gently guide us so we can see where we need to make adjustments.

     God has paid an enormous price for your healing. It is in your account now! My dear friend, it is my sincere prayer that you will experience real results by practicing these important keys in your life. Bless you! KAF
