Establish You As Healed

What's going on in the body is never the source, it's the result of something spiritual. Because, everything is first spiritual before it's natural. So, the body shows the result of something, so if you change it at the source/spiritual level then you can have a different result, the result level can be changed. Because, the source and result levels are connected. Jesus said in Matthew 7:17,18 Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18 A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. Notice, Jesus shows us two levels the source and the result levels. Notice, the tree (source) determines the condition of the fruit (result). Notice, Jesus said a good tree bringeth forth good fruit, so if I want to change the condition of the fruit or the result I don't do it on that level, I have to go to the tree (the source) because that's what's determining the result. Please notice, the result doesn't determine the condition of the result. So, what's working in the body is not operating on it's own. The spiritual realm is the source realm and the physical/natural realm is the result or fruit of the spiritual realm. Before Adam sinned there was no sickness, so sickness has spiritual roots. Physical sickness is a manifestation of a spiritual root.

In 2 Corinthians 4:17,18 it says- For our light affliction, which is but for a moment, worketh for us a far more exceeding and eternal weight of glory; 18 While we look not at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen: for the things which are seen are temporal; but the things which are not seen are eternal. Because, what you see is just fruit (the result). Physical sickness and physical healing are manifestations of the spiritual. Something has to take place in the realm of the spiritual for them to manifest in the physical. Look at the healings of Jesus, Luke 6:19 And the whole multitude sought to touch him: for there went virtue out of him, and healed them all. Notice, something had to take place in the spiritual for something to manifest physically. In John 5:5-9 it reads- 5 And a certain man was there, which had an infirmity thirty and eight years. 6 When Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he saith unto him, Wilt thou be made whole? 7 The impotent man answered him, Sir, I have no man, when the water is troubled, to put me into the pool: but while I am coming, another steppeth down before me. 8 Jesus saith unto him, Rise, take up thy bed, and walk. 9 And immediately the man was made whole, and took up his bed, and walked: and on the same day was the sabbath.

Now, natural man would say, are you kidding can't you see I can't walk. Factually speaking you would be right (fruit level), but truthfully you would be wrong, because he established him as healed in the spiritual (source level). So, you can be right factually, and yet wrong truthfully because God's word is truth (John 17:17). And in John 8:31,32 Jesus said, Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; 32 And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. Make you free from what, contrary facts. That's why it's important that you know the truth of the matter and not just the fact of the matter. And if you don't know the truth of the matter you will think that the fact is the truth because it's what is present. But, just because something is present in the natural doesn't mean it's the truth, the most it can be is fact. Like Abraham in Genesis 17:4,5 it reads- As for me, behold, my covenant is with thee, and thou shalt be a father of many nations. 5 Neither shall thy name any more be called Abram, but thy name shall be Abraham; for a father of many nations have I made thee. But, in Romans 4:19 it says, And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb.

Notice, the fact was his body was dead, but the truth was he was a father of many nations as God said. Notice, in that fact at the same time there was a higher truth. Fact is basically something that exists, or is present in reality. Hence, these are things that can be seen visually, and these are the things that can actually be verified. It is not just something that you believe, but rather these are more or less the things that can be observed empirically, or by the senses. So, facts can be seen and heard, as well as proven by the other senses. So, facts deals with what can be detected by the senses. Truth-Truth can be described as the true state of a certain matter. What God says is the true state of the matter. So, in that present fact condition there is a higher truth, what God says about it. In Genesis 15:4 God told Abraham, And, behold, the word of the Lord came unto him, saying, This shall not be thine heir; but he that shall come forth out of thine own bowels shall be thine heir. So, before his body became dead he had a word from God that he would have a child from his own body with his wife which was always barren. His dead body and her dead womb was no problem because God had already established in the spiritual that they would have a child, and God's report supersedes what's happening with the body.

Man made healing only about the body, God doesn't. Because, God deals with the roots of the matter and not just the fruit of the matter. Your body is in the fruit realm, so God works in the realm of the roots(spiritual) in order to change the fruit. Look at Jesus healings, in Luke 4:46-53: 46 So Jesus came again into Cana of Galilee, where he made the water wine. And there was a certain nobleman, whose son was sick at Capernaum. 47 When he heard that Jesus was come out of Judaea into Galilee, he went unto him, and besought him that he would come down, and heal his son: for he was at the point of death. 48 Then said Jesus unto him, Except ye see signs and wonders, ye will not believe. 49 The nobleman saith unto him, Sir, come down ere my child die. 50 Jesus saith unto him, Go thy way; thy son liveth. And the man believed the word that Jesus had spoken unto him, and he went his way. 51 And as he was now going down, his servants met him, and told him, saying, Thy son liveth. 52 Then enquired he of them the hour when he began to amend. And they said unto him, Yesterday at the seventh hour the fever left him. 53 So the father knew that it was at the same hour, in the which Jesus said unto him, Thy son liveth: and himself believed, and his whole house.

Notice, when the man was on his way home servants met him and told him, "Thy son liveth" and he enquired what hour did he begin to amend. Now watch, it was yesterday at the seventh hour and the father knew it was the same hour Jesus said to him, Thy son liveth. The son began to amend in the same hour Jesus established in the spiritual, Thy son liveth. Jesus established something in the realm of the roots to get different fruit, Jesus didn't have to go to the man's house. Because, in the realm of the spiritual distance doesn't matter. Like now, you can pray in one city and something happen in another city. Because, in the spiritual there is no distance for The Holy Spirit is everywhere at the same time. All Jesus had to do was change the spiritual for a different manifestation, physical. Look at in the case of Lazarus he was dead for four days and his body rotting, he was in a condition that everyone thought was beyond help. But, if you look at verse 4 of John 11 you will see why he was not beyond help, When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Jesus established in the spiritual that it will not end in death so this man has got to come up. Notice, what Jesus said at his grave, Father I thank you that you have heard me, and then he called Lazarus out of his grave.

See, healing is more about what's done in the spiritual than what's done to the body. What did Jesus do to any of their bodies, nothing. He just established the healing in the spiritual and what's established in the spiritual can manifest physical. And when you believe and speak in line with what God has established about you then you receive what God has established about you. In Isaiah 7:14 God said, Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel. Now, we know naturally speaking that sounds impossible, but with God all things are possible. And in Luke 1 when the angel appeared to Mary he told her, And the angel said unto her, 30 Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God. 31 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name Jesus. And notice her response in verse 38, And Mary said, Behold the handmaid of the Lord; be it unto me according to thy word. And the angel departed from her. And notice verse 45 of that same chapter, And blessed is she that believed: for there shall be a performance of those things which were told her from the Lord. She believed and spoke in agreement with God's word. Abraham and Sarah believed and spoke in line with God's word, that's why God changed their names Abraham means father of a multitude and Sarah means princess of nations.

And if you read the account in Genesis 17 you will see that that's just what God promised them. He changed their names into his promise and when they believed and spoke his promise they received what God promised. Hebrews 11:11 says, Through faith also Sara herself received strength to conceive seed, and was delivered of a child when she was past age, because she judged him faithful who had promised. And Romans 4:19,20 says, And being not weak in faith, he considered not his own body now dead, when he was about an hundred years old, neither yet the deadness of Sarah's womb: 20 He staggered not at the promise of God through unbelief; but was strong in faith, giving glory to God. Notice, all three of them believed and spoke in line with God report when the conditions seemed to be impossible. But, the scripture says, For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation (Romans 10:10). So, with your heart you believe God's word and with the mouth confession is made unto it. Notice, you confess unto it so you don't wait until you see it to say it, but you say it to see it. What did Jesus say in Mark 11:23,For verily I say unto you, That whosoever shall say unto this mountain, Be thou removed, and be thou cast into the sea; and shall not doubt in his heart, but shall believe that those things which he saith shall come to pass; he shall have whatsoever he saith.

(Closing statement: Find out what God has established about you and believe and speak that. Isaiah 53:4,5/ 1 Peter 2:24/ Matthew 8:17/ Galatians 3:13)

It is not God's will that any should perish. And I wouldn't want to end this article without giving someone the opportunity to receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior. It's very easy just pray: Dear God- I know I have sinned and I now turn from them and I invite Jesus to come into my heart (Revelation 3:20). He died for my sins and you have raised him from the dead and I now confess Jesus is my Lord and Savior (Romans 10:9,10). I thank you for saving me, Amen

But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name (John 1:12). 1 Timothy 2:4 Who will have all men to be saved, and to come unto the knowledge of the truth. Romans 5:8-10 But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet sinners, Christ died for us. [9] Much more then, being now justified by his blood, we shall be saved from wrath through him. [10] For if, when we were enemies, we were reconciled to God by the death of his Son, much more, being reconciled, we shall be saved by his life. 2 Peter 3:9 King James Version 9 The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance.

It's true that Jesus healed all who came to Him.

It's true that the gift of healing is a supernatural spiritual gift.

It's true that Christians pray and believe to be healed - and some are - and for uncertain reasons, which we can debate, argue and speculate - some are not.

It's true that our natural body will die. All the saints before us died. Their bodies, organs, biological systems stopped functioning.

Ultimate healing will occur when the Christian possesses a new eternal incorrupt body, which we will receive after our earthly tent falls away.
