God says, "He that dwelleth in the secret
place of the Most High. . . . with long life
will I satisfy him." Psalms 91
Dwelling in the secrets place is a privilege
for all, not just some. God's promises are
for all.
God would have to break His promise to
be unwilling to heal His children. If all of
these promises were for everyone in the
previous age, how much better it should
be for the age of grace, during which "He
is able to make all grace abound" towards
each of His children.
In Psalms 103, David believed that both for-
giveness and healing were blessings from
God.
He told his soul to bless God, "Bless the
Lord, O my soul: and all that is within
me, bless his holy name.
Bless the Lord, O my soul, and forget not
all his benefits:
Who forgiveth all thine iniquities;
who healeth all thy diseases;
Who redeemeth thy life from destruction,
who crowneth thee with lovingkindness
and tender mercies; . . . ." Psalms 103:1-4

Exodus Chapter 15 is where God revealed His
covenant of healing, by giving His Redemptive
name 'Jehovah-Rapha' "I am the Lord that
healeth thee."
This is God's word "settled in heaven" a never
changing fact.
Jesus never gave up His healing ministry, "He
is the same yesterday, today and forever,"

Hebrews 13:8
If we know God's will then we can believe
He will save us and believe He will heal us.
But if we do not know what God's will is,
then it is impossible to receive either one.
So before we can receive anything from God
we have to know if it is His will and we find
that in the Word of God. His Word is His
Will.
He will save us and believe He will heal us.

Every form of sickness and disease known
to man was included in salvation; and many
of them even mentioned in the "Curse of the
law," Deuteronomy 28:15-62
In Galatians 3:13, there is a statement that
"Christ hath redeemed us from the curse of
the law, being made a curse for us, for it is
written, Cursed is every one that hangeth on
the tree."
How much plainer can it be than that Jesus,
Who was born under the law to redeem us,
bore its curse, and so then He did redeem us
from sickness and disease.

Isaiah 53:4 cannot refer to disease of the soul.
Neither of the words translated "sickness" and
"pain" are applied to the spiritual but to the
physical.
This is proven by Matthew 8:16-17, ". . . .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."

The fact is, that the very first covenant God
gave after crossing the Red Sea, was the
covenant of healing, and it was at this time
that God revealed Himself as our Physician,

Jehovah-rapha, "I am the Lord that healeth

"All these things happen unto them for

The Holy Spirit shows us that these things
are for the Gentiles as well as for Israel.
"Know ye, therefore, that they which are

. . . .now to Abraham and his seed were the
promises made. . . . and if ye be Christ's ye
are Abraham's seed, and heirs according to
the promise." Galatians 3:7,16,29

In Psalm 103, David calls upon his soul to
bless the Lord and to "forget not all his

Then he says, "Who forgiveth all thine
iniquities (sins), who healeth all thy diseases."
The only way God can forgive sin is through
the Atonement of Jesus. He heals diseases
the same way. The only way God can save
any part of man is by the Atonement.

Matthew 8:17 definitely states that Jesus

The Atonement was His reason for making

God's promise is to pour His Spirit upon all
flesh during the "acceptable year of the Lord,"
which is today, the age of the Holy Spirit.
He comes as Jesus' representative to bring us
all the blessings of redemption; to bring to us
"the earnest" of our spiritual and physical
inheritance, until the last enemy, which is
death, is destroyed, therefore admitting us
into our full inheritance.

Some want to apply physical healing to the
'here after' ; but Jesus said "this day is this
scripture fulfilled in your ears." It is fulfilled
here and now, not in the 'here after'.
It is now that God has set in the church
"teachers, working of miracles, gifts of healing,"
etc. They will not be needed in the 'here after'
because there will be no sickness or disease or
pain because all will have glorified bodies.
That is when mortality puts on immortality.
If healing is only for the 'here after' then so
would be the working of miracles and teachers,
but no, they are all for the church today.

One of God's redemptive names is Jehovah-
Raph, "I am te Lord that healeth thee,".
This shows us that what was lost has now been
returned during our age of grace. Jesus has
restored during the Gospel age, health for the
soul and body, forgiveness and healing are ours
wherever He preached "the acceptable year of
the Lord," in order for the inner and outer man
may be whole.

In the Old Testament, in Leviticus 14:18 the

healing. Why for him if healing is not for us

It is only through restitution that sickness
can be healed. Everything God provided in

the New Testament by Jesus.

Communion isn't just a ritual, when we take
it, we are taking part of the life of Jesus, His
death and His benefits. In Him there is both
spiritual and physical life. . .

Some sicknesses or diseases the body cannot

for help; they can only aid in the natural work

They acknowledge that they are unable to do the
healing process, which can only come from God.
We can receive our physical salvation the same
way we received our spiritual salvation, through
faith in Jesus' work on the cross.
Disease is a physical penalty because of sin;
but Jesus took that penalty in His body for
us by the "stripes" or lashes or beating He
received before He went to the cross.
Because He has taken them for us, then we
do not have to "bare" them or keep them in
our bodies. If we keep them, then He bore
them for nothing.

After planting God's Word, His seeds, in our
hearts and minds, we have to believe they
are growing even before we see them grow

This is faith which is "the evidence of things

Now if you desire to be healed and are not

change must be with you because God never
changes. He is the Lord that healeth "all thy

If you will humble yearself before Him and
pray believingly, He will reveal to you just
what the needed change is. More than that,
He will enable you to make it.

A "spirit of infirmity" is of Satan; it saps the
power out of muscles, nerves and tendons
so that they cannot support the body in its

of infirmity fourteen years; He called her
over and said to her, "Woman, thou art

hands on her; and immediately she was

The father asking for healing of his son, in
the book of John, was a gradual manifest-
ation.
There is such a thing as a gradual faith. It
began when Jesus spoke the Word. The
boy began to 'amend' or improve.
Remember that the unchanging law is:
"As thou hast believed, so be it done unto
thee" Matthew 8:13

Distance was no obstacle to Jesus then, and
it is not an obstacle to Him now. He healed
a child by His word, in spite of the distance.
He will do the same of anyone who will trust
Him.
Man has done away with distance by all the
inventions regarding travel, communications,
etc. We can be sure that distance is no barrier
to the workings of God to fulfill His Word.

When Jesus started His miracles in Cana
with the water into wine, His mother had
said, "Whatsoever he saith unto you, do it."
That is faith. If He tells you to walk when
you can't, step out; or to speak when you
have no voice, open your mouth wide; or to
believe when you are not conscious of an
ounce of faith, do it; or to sing His praises
when you feel like crying; "I will bless Thee,
oh Lord. . . .I will bless thy name forever
and ever!" That is faith.

Only God can give us our daily bread. We
may have it in the bank, in our hands, in
our mouths, in our stomachs, or in our
blood even, but only God can give it to us.
This He does by making His Word health
to all our flesh, including every gland and
cell.
"Give us this day our daily bread," is not a
petition for food only but for life. It is a
prayer for perfect health put in our mouths
by the Lord Jesus Himself.

Peter, when he went from town to town, had
come to a place called Lydda. He found a man
who had been paralysed for eight years.
"And Peter said unto him, Aeneas, Jesus Christ
maketh thee whole: arise, and make thy bed.
And he arose immediately. And all that dwelt
at Lydda and Saron saw him, and turned to
the Lord." Acts 9:32-35
This is a case of chronic disease which was in
the age of the Holy Spirit, after Jesus ascended.
We have no right being one half or even three
quarters whole. We are not justified in being
sick!
Whether acute or chronic, "He healeth all thy
diseases" !

Whenever temptations, physical sufferings
and weaknesses, or financial disasters are
ours, we must ask ourselves: "Is Jesus with
us?" and next "Is He Lord of all?" If so, the
Holy Spirit and the Word says that we are
safe in Him and God will take care of us!

which He has magnified above His Name.

Himself is our medicine, and He never fails.
He is the healing and the health. Healing
cannot be had apart from Him. He is the
life of our bodies as well as of our spirits. It
is all rolled up in Him and we have to receive
Him in all His fullness to get the healing in
its perfection.
He abides in us by the Holy Spirit!

It was He Himself who took our infirmities
and bore our sicknesses. Not Himself and
physicians; not Himself and surgeons.
When it tells us in Hebrews 1:3 that "He, . . .
by himself purged our sins," we would not
dare to add one speck of human effort to
that sacrifice. There is nothing that can be
added.
When the Bible tells us that He Himself forever
fulfilled and finished our healing what could

Healing wasn't some unusual show of His power
to convince the people of His deity, but it was
to fulfill His messiahship.
He had to heal all who came to Him for healing,
or else He would not have been true to the portrail
of Him by the Holy Spirit 700 years before.
We can't find any way to accept a Christ who does
not heal the sick. There isn't any such Christ in the
Bible.

In Matthew 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."
This meeting connected the prophecy of Isaiah
by the Holy Spirit in chapter 53. It declared
Jesus, the Messiah, as the bearer of sickness
and infirmities. He took them.

Then there was a Roman centurion Mattthew
8:5-13. His proud head was bowed before
Jesus and he called Him "Lord". He says in
a way, "I know what power is. Caesar has power
over me, power of life and death; I have power
over my men, but in Thee I acknowledge power
over all power. Speak but the word. It is all I ask,
for I am not worthy."
Then Jesus said He had not found such faith in
Israel. And his servant was healed in the selfsame
hour.

Just before "Himself" in Matthew 8:17, the
leper doubted Jesus' willingness to heal even
though he was convinced that He was able to.
Maybe he was too conscious of his condition
that he couldn't believe that Jesus could have
mercy on him.
But Jesus settled that thought forever by
saying, "I will. . . .be thou clean."

"When he was come down from the mountain,
great multitudes followed him.
And, behold, there came a leper and worshipped
him, saying, Lord, if thou wilt, thou canst make
me clean.
And Jesus put forth his hand, and touched him,
saying, I will; be thou clean. And immediately his
leprosy was cleansed.
And Jesus saith unto him, See thou tell no man;
but go thy way, shew thyself to the priest, and
offer the gift that Moses commanded, for a testi-
mony unto them.
And when Jesus was entered into Capernaum,
there came unto him a centurion, beseeching
him,
And saying, Lord, my servant lieth at home sick
of the palsy, grievously tormented.
And Jesus saith unto him, I will come and heal
him.
The centurion answered and said, Lord, I am not
worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof:
but speak the word only, and my servant shall be
healed.
For I am a man under authority, having soldiers
under me: and I say to this man, Go, and he goeth;
and to another, Come, and he cometh; and to my
servant, Do this, and he doeth it.
When Jesus heard it, he marvelled, and said to
them that followed, Verily I say unto you, I have
not found so great faith, no, not in Israel.
And I say unto you, That many shall come from
the east and west, and shall sit down with
Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, in the kingdom
of heaven.
But the children of the kingdom shall be cast out
into outer darkness: there shall be weeping and
gnashing of teeth.
And Jesus said unto the centurion, Go thy way;
and as thou hast believed, so be it done unto
thee. And his servant was healed in the selfsame
hour.
And when Jesus was come into Peter's house, he
saw his wife's mother laid, and sick of a fever.
And he touched her hand, and the fever left her:
and she arose, and ministered unto them.

But if the salt has lost its savor, it is good
for nothing.
Jesus said, " Ye are the salt of the earth: but
if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith
shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for
nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden
under foot of men." Matthew 5:13

of God coming together with a human.

When mixed is a re-creation and is a new

Just like it is totally impossible to get the

spiritually impossible to ge a new creature

Salt is found everywhere in nature. But all
the salt found is formed from something
above and from something below.
It is the chemical, sodium chloride. It is
totally different when mixed. It is white, pure,
beautiful in a crystalized form. It is healing,
health-preserving, decay-preventing, completely
different from everything else in the universe.
Nothing else can take it's place.
