Subject: Knocked out by holy spirit |
Bible Note: Ed, We are spirit, have a soul and live in a body. Our spirit man has been regenerated and we have been translated from the dominion of darkness to the dominion of Jesus. The new position of our spirit carries with it many benefits...healing is one of them. I did a quick search of Kingdom of God and have never really looked at all these in one sitting..This is great! But a few that jump out at me are listed below. Odviously there was emphasis on our 'earthly' existence in regard to the kingdom. Matthew 6:32-34 But seek ye first the kingdom of God , and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you. What things? drink, food, clothing Luke 9:2 And He sent them to preach the kingdom of God, and to heal the sick. Luke 9:11 And the people, when they knew it, folowed him: and He received them, and spake to them of the kingdom of God, and healed them that had need of healing. Luke 10:9 And heal the sick that are therin, and say unto them, The kingdom of God is nigh unto you. "However we have been delivered spiritual from the darkness and are free of the curse spiritually". We are free of the curse...period. Mark 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation. 16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned. 17 "These signs will accompany those who have believed: in My name they will cast out demons, they will speak with new tongues; 18 they will pick up serpents, and if they drink any deadly poison, it will not hurt them; they will lay hands on the sick, and they will recover." Where in this scripture is there any even vague implication that our translation into the kingdom of God is spiritual only? These verses clearly confirm that healing is part of the gospel, part of the provision of Jesus's redemptive work. And to answer your other post...Healing is a provision of the atonement, not the atonement. The shedding of blood is the source of our peace with God, and physical healing is part of the package. By His STRIPES we were healed! By His shedding of blood we were redeemed..to all that believe and receive..by believing and receiving we receive our healing. Why are some not healed? That is between them and God. I am not their judge and indeed could not be, because I can't know their heart. And neither can you, but we can be sure of the Word. James 5:14-15 Is any sick among you? let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord: 15 And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up; and if he have committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Does this say might or might not? It seems to me that the condition is not whether God will or will not heal, but rather whether the prayer is a prayer of faith...This is the requirement...not whether someone has passed their test, or whether someone has been faithful. Once again Ed, I do realize that as we are all still growing and have not become perfect in our heart and our mind, sickness can still come in, but only through our own unlocked doors, unprotected windows. You once asked me how I would respond if some calamity came upon me. My response would be Daniel 3:17-18 17 If it be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up. I am human and fallable, but God's Word is not... God bless |
