It is very easy to understand Jesus Christ died for all of us, and that all our infirmities, diseases, and shortcomings were placed on Him. And the good news to this is that in His resurrection He started a brand new era. In other words, He is the last Adam, and anyone who receives Him as their Adam, by accepting Him as their Lord and Saviour begins a brand new life in Him, a life that has never existed before (ref. 2 Corinthians 5:17).
This sounds amazing, right? The Bible also makes us understand that as Jesus is right now in heaven, so are we right here on earth (ref. 1 John 4:17). But we didn't see any difference in our physical bodies when we received Christ as Lord.
What happened when we became a new creation in Christ was a change of Spirit. Man is a spirit, he possesses a soul and lives in a body.
We are to renew our minds consistently in Christ, away from the world. This allows the soul to conform to the ways of the new Spirit, which is the Spirit of Christ Jesus.
But some have certain challenges, like in health-related cases who have received Christ Jesus as Lord, and understand all that I wrote above but are still ill.
The issue we need to understand is not their belief, but what happens on the journey to complete manifestation of perfect healing.
God has given us health, thus allowing us to be healed, all embodied in Christ. Just as some get healed instantly, some do not see the manifestation immediately despite their understanding.
According to the scriptures, it all boils down to our faith. But what happens to the person who experiences the pain of the illness or related cases on the path to complete healing? We all have people like that around us. Some of us may be experiencing it ourselves.
The journey is where our faith is awakened. It is the time we put all that we studied into practice. Consistency in confessing health to the area that needs it is very important.
Speaking Bible verses about healing in that area must be done. And most importantly you must see yourself healed as you confess, and live your daily lives.
There are times when it may look as if nothing is happening despite your confession. In cases like this, we are to give God praise and thanksgiving because praises and thanksgiving chase away the devil, and praises strengthen our faith in Him.
Being a faith support to those in cases like this is very important. Although we cannot believe on behalf of those in need, we can help strengthen their faith through faith scriptures and help encourage them.
The whole essence is to get the faith stirred up because the healing has been given. All we need is to receive the healing through faith in Christ Jesus. And we must be strengthened and remain in faith, and see ourselves healed till we see manifestation on the outside.
Don't forget the devil is the master of discouragement. So, any time you feel discouraged either through your thoughts or people, know that it is the work of the devil. You must rebuke the devil by declaring the finished work of Christ Jesus in your life. Be battle-ready with scriptures to counter any thoughts that are contrary to what Jesus has done for you (ref. 2 Corinthians 10:3-6, James 4:7).
Put on the whole armor of God and be battle-ready. Always praise God at all times, and see yourself healed or delivered from whatever challenge you might be going through.
God bless you.
Why not accept Jesus today if you haven’t? Pray out loud, “Jesus, I confess that You are my Lord and Saviour. I believe in my heart that God raised You from the dead. By faith in Your Word, I receive salvation now. Thank You for saving me!” Congratulations, you’re born again, you are now brand new!
