Beyond Healing
Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest
prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth (3 John 1:2).
Someone asked a question: “Is it possible to be
healed by God, and then lose the healing?”
In answering, let’s recall the account of the lame man
Jesus healed at the pool of Bethesda in John chapter
five. Jesus saw the same man in the temple after he
had been healed and said to him, “…Behold, thou art
made whole: sin no more, lest a worse thing come
unto thee” (John 5:14). This statement answers the
question in focus: People could lose their healing and
even get into a more precarious state than they were
before they got healed.
It’s similar to what Jesus said about unclean spirits:
“When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he
walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth
none. Then he saith, I will return into my house from
whence I came out; and when he is come, he findeth
it empty, swept, and garnished. Then goeth he, and
taketh with himself seven other spirits more wicked
than himself, and they enter in and dwell there: and
the last state of that man is worse than the first…”
(Matthew 12:43-45).
God wants you to look beyond healing. Healing
is temporary; everyone Jesus healed in the Bible lived,
and still died eventually. This is why at the Healing
School, we teach people not just how to receive
healing but how to keep their healing and sustain
themselves in the divine life. It’s not enough to be
healed. God’s best is that you live in divine health.
Someone who’s healed of a certain ailment could get
sick again with a different diagnosis.
Thus, the most important thing is your life with
God?your spiritual life. What life are you really living
with God? It’s not about healing; it’s about the Word of
God and your life. Make the Word of God your source
and your foundation. Live in, and by the Word of God,
and learn to glorify God with your life. Let your life
become an instrument of His glory and righteousness,
and you’ll live triumphantly over sickness, diseases, sin,
Satan, darkness, death and the world. Hallelujah!
Prayer
Dear Father, I thank you for the working of your Word in my
Spirit. Your Word constantly and consistently renews my
mind, and I walk in your perfect will, bearing fruits of
righteousness. You’re exalted in me today; your glory fills me
through and through, in Jesus’ Name. Amen.
